My car developed a sudden, and very loud, exhaust leak--one minute it was fine, the next it…read moresounded like a very large truck. I looked under the car and could see a piece of exhaust pipe hanging down. Luckily, I was near a muffler shop in Newton and they agreed to take a look. They told me my muffler had blown-out and that the rear pipe was badly damaged, and it would cost about $450 to repair it. They said they had the parts and would be finished in two to three hours. I decided to take it to another muffler shop I had taken cars to in the past. On the way, I stopped at a gas station, explained my problem, and asked if they could tie-up the exhaust pipe that was hanging down so I could get to the muffler shop without further damaging the system. The guy told me they just sold gas but there was a separate garage attached to the station and they might make a temporary fix for me. The guy in the garage, Jim, said he would see what he could do after he finished working on the car on the lift, which might take an hour. I decided to wait. After about 30 minutes, he put my car up on the lift to look at it. He came into the very small waiting room and said, "You're lucky. Your exhaust pipe isn't damaged, it just needs a new sleeve." When I asked what a sleeve was, he said, "I think I have one in stock; if I do I'll show it to you." He did. indeed, have one. It was a 6-inch tube with a clamp and bolt on either end. He explained that my sleeve had rusted out but that the two pipes it connected looked ok. He said, "I won't know until I take the old sleeve off and can see if the pipes are damaged but, in 90 percent of the cases, we just have to replace the sleeve. I asked what it would cost and he said, "I don't think it will be more than $100." Not quite believing that we wouldn't have some costly complications, I told him to go ahead. He finished the job in about 25 minutes and the car was perfect. I was amazed and very, very pleased. The final bill was under $80, another pleasant surprise. I will recommend Quinlan's, and Jim in particular, to any of my friends who need auto repairs. The only thing I'm unhappy about is that it took me so long to find him.

His name is Mike and let me tell you since I've been driving since the age of 16 and I'm 58 right now I have never in my life been to such an amazing mechanic and I'm not just saying it he's not giving me any like discounts or freebies I'm saying it because it's true . Not only is he reasonable and he is very reasonable he doesn't stick you and tell you that you need something that you don't need just to get the extra cash he is the most honest person I've ever met as far as mechanics go . And he is a very handsome man and I love his girlfriend she's so kind and loving and I enjoyed talking to her today . I will never ever ever as long as he's a mechanic go to anybody else . I can't talk and stress enough about him and not only do I post it on here I am going to spread the word everywhere I go LOL but I'm serious all kidding aside he's really great and terrific now he did my front brakes today and I thought I'd have to get a ride back home to wait for them nope he said just stay right here they'll be done in no time and they were so right now I am going shopping because I have the rest of the day to do what I have to do and let me tell you those brakes are amazing I'm not used to having great breaks and again he is very reasonable . And if you do go to him tell him Kelly sent you and I would not be this if it wasn't true I should just give you my whole name because I don't care he's great and you can tell him Kelly Parker sent me she told me nothing but good things about you LOL but seriously though you're not going to find another mechanic like him . Like I said I won't go to anyone else and if he moves and goes to another site or whatever I will follow .

HIGH LEVEL: Doug and his staff are not only highly skilled at automotive work, they have great integrity, work with excellent detail, give fair pricing and don't give up on a highly challenging problem or problems. They have incredible persistence on solving problems. My Story: When I initially went to see Doug, the owner of Dover Automotive, it was just to do some work on the wheels since the bearings were old (excuse my lack of mechanic background I may mix up my wording a bit). Doug replaced the bearings and even got the car inspected (it was overdue by several months since I just bought the Subaru), changed the oil and a few other nice details I didn't think about. We thought we were set to go! I was moving to Vermont in a few weeks and this was our only means of transportation. If you don't have a car in Vermont, you're in trouble. Uber, even cell phone coverage don't exist out here! A day or two later the car started to overheat! It was not related to the work Doug and his amazing team did. He was methodical and meticulous: he first ran through what is A. typical and B. cost-effective for both of us. The thing is, the car overheats EVEN when it idles! It wasn't related to the engine so it was a mystery. No oil leaking, the radiator didn't have a leak, but he checked in detail. It's very common for Subaru Outbacks in the early days (99 to something like 05) to have the headgaskets fail and rust and leak which is super bad and you need to replace. He replaced the headgaskets but oddly enough, the overheating persisted. We researched more and found out this particular car and year for some people (99) has had some issues where there is a bubble left behind the dashboard and you have to make this funky tool to eliminate the bubble if the bubble is causing it to overheat. Doug not only created this bypass tool (here's where my technical mechanic work lacks knowledge) but he angled the car several times and angles to allow the bubble to release--well it worked! He bled the car again to make sure and test drove the car about 4 or 5 times on every different day and the car stopped overheating! It was amazing! This was the strangest overheating problem ever. Now one month later, I am with my happy Subaru Outback in Vermont with a car that works so smooth and flawless thanks to Doug and his amazing staff. He tested the car on weekends, was working on it so much--he knew we had a scary deadline which I wish no one has to go through! He took extra good care of us and figured out even the most rare problem for my car and fixed the problem. Phew! :) Thank you Doug and staff! - Tara and RC
