I recently moved to MA and was in need of a cheap used car. Saw TC Auto Repair & Sales with a car…read morelisting I liked for real cheap. This dealer has GREAT reviews on Cargurus, Yelp, Google and Facebook so I figured I'd give it a shot. I called and asked if the car was still available and they said it was and that I can come test drive it. I got there and test drove 2 cars with absolutely no problem, he just needed a copy of my license. I decided to purchase the original car I came for. The sticker price was $4500 and all I needed to pay was $4500 via bank check. There was absolutely no other fees I had to pay directly to TC Auto Repair. Next, I had to get car insurance and get their auto insurance stamp/signature on the RMV Title and Registration form. I went and got Geico and they provided me with a prefilled auto insurance stamp/signature for the Title/Reg Form. I had to go back to TC Auto Repair for them to sign the dealer's portion of the Title/Reg form. TC Auto Repair had originally pre-filled and signed the form and it just needed the auto insurance's signature/stamp but for whatever reason Geico had to print their own version causing me to back travel for the dealer's signature. Then I had to go to the RMV with the completed form. I didn't have to make an appointment, I was able to just walk in. Took about 1 hour but it was to be expected as a walk-in. I had to pay the MA RMV about $75 for the title, $60 for the registration certificate and close to 7% of the vehicle's purchase value as sales tax. I was then handed the actual license plate. I was surprised I got actual plates on the spot because all of my cars in California, I'd get temporary plates (or no plates at all) and had to wait a week or two for the plates to arrive in the mail. The last step was for me to get the inspection sticker. I was ready to take the car to a local mechanic for inspection stickers. However, TC Auto Repair hooked me up with a free inspection and it took only about 15 minutes. The car passed the inspection and received an inspection sticker. I was done with the entire process and was able to go home. It's only been a day with the car but so far so good. I've had nothing but a great experience with TC Auto Repair and Sales. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone. I'll probably be looking here first if I need a new car in the future.

My car has been in the family for 20+ years, until some knucklehead T-Boned me pretty good. No one…read morewas hurt, but the car was totaled. Suddenly I found myself on the market for a used car, and Auto Trader took me to an '98 used Camry with relatively low miles (less than 130K) for a fair price (just about $2,300). The car being 20+ years old, I wanted my mechanic to take a look at it. Taking the car for a test drive to his shop (~10 miles away) was not an issue. All it took was me leaving a copy of my license and phone number. Especially for its age, the car was in very good shape. Many important components related to power steering, brakes, and the radiator were replaced. The only areas of concern were a rusty (not leaky, though) fuel line, and that the alternator went as I was driving it (which they agreed to replace). Now the car wasn't perfect, the radio is missing a button and a knob, cruise control doesn't work, and some other minor details. Considering the price and great mechanical shape, I'll let these slide. This car might last a while (and I hope it does), but I realize it won't be forever, so I'm already saving for something newer. Negotiating was actually pretty painless. This might be partially attributed to the car being so cheap and having work done on it already. The person I was working with seemed honest and transparent, and wasn't taking me for a ride (pun not intended). I was able to knock it down a hundred or so, which in light of the new alternator and researched car value, fair. They then got me started on the paperwork and advised me of the next steps. I do have to get the insurance stamp and transfer plates, but the RMV is unavoidable in these cases, especially with much smaller family run dealerships. My car was my baby, the Camry I bought likely won't replace it, but I expect it to serve me well for a couple years. I do have some advice for this place: 1. Honor your opening hours. If the sign says your open at 8:30, be there then. 2. Be mindful of the features listed on your website. Don't put a car having heated seats and mirrors unless it actually has them. 3. Have the website default to available vehicles and not show the sold ones (at least by default). Overall though, the first used car I bought, and second one to ever be in the family, and it was a pretty good experience. When I find myself on the market, T&C will be the first place I look.
