They were good for years. Quick service, did a good job but a few years ago I had to get my wheel replaced, everything seemed fine until about a year later when I got a flat and I discovered Brachs had used one lug nut of a different size, the tools that came with my spare were useless to remove it. I was completely stranded until a stranger happened to come along and had smaller size lug nuts on his tire and his spare tire iron by total coincidence could remove the incorrect nut. This could have gone so much worse in so many ways. read more

Over the years all my experiences at Brach have been positive in terms of communication, quality and cost About a year ago I had them do a complete brake job on our 2020 Outback In recent weeks I've noticed shaking when I braked After inspection Tom found all 4 of my rotors were warped. He offered to cover parts and labor at no cost to me It's the first time I've ever had problems after a repair. Nice to know Tom and Brachs stands by their work read more

Great service and informative with quick turnaround and honesty. Good pricing as well

Once again, Brach's did a great job fixing my car this week. I had to replace my muffler and the car now feels like new! Tom explained everything to me in detail along with tips on how to take care of it going forward. It's so worth it (regardless of the cost) because I need that peace of mind that my car is in great shape and ready for winter. Another amazing service is that I can check my tire pressure and fluid whenever I need it. Thank you so much for a great service. Highly recommended, right here in Beverly! read more

After a driving mishap, Brach's fully checked the vehicle out looking for damage that may not have been obvious and made the required repairs after discussing them with me. Vehicle now runs like new. read more

So I've used Brachs Services for 3 different cars and they take care of me every single time. Even when I'm car shopping they would run a quick vin check for me to let me know if it's worth it or any car fax red flags. These guys go above and beyond for they customers. They keep it real 100% and tell you the good the bad and the ugly truth about these cars out here and I really appreciate the work they do. It's hard to find honest and reliable mechanics but look no further Brachs got you covered.... read more

Whoever said there's no honest mechanics have never been to Brach's. They are the best here. I chanced upon them when my car's tire was going flat. They couldn't fix it, but fixed it enough so I could make it to a tire shop, (for free). They are the best. I have been taking all of my vehicles here for work and the prices are better than most and they are too good to me. I love Tom & Gary. They hook a sista up! www.brachsautocenter.com read more

Very friendly and thorough. I appreciated the ease of reaching my technician and the electronic repair summary and diagnostic. Would recommend highly. read more

All the reviews are true! As a single woman, I'm always skeptical of mechanics. I took my 2003 BMW X5 in for a brake job. They gave me a fair quote, kept me informed along the way and didn't raise the price or add a bunch of things I didn't need. I appreciate their craftsmanship and professionalism. They have earned a new customer for life. read more

They do what you ask and don't try to sell you more. The most thorough job of inspection, evidence of what's needed and follow-up I have ever experienced. Excellent customer service. Cutting edge in their emails with photos and discussing what's been done already to your car by referencing your CarFax! Prices comparable to dealership. read more

Top-notch experience. Excellent communications, honest. Found them because my other mechanic was too busy. Glad he was! Brach's has my permanent business. read more

I love these guys. I am driving a POS--a 2002 Saturn with 128K miles on it. It has issues. Last week, I found myself needing to address one of these issues--the fact that the car seemed to want to die whenever it rained or got foggy or humid. Tom explained to me clearly and in great detail EXACTLY what was wrong and what needed to be done to fix it. And he had it done the same day--which is HUGE for me. The only thing that broke my heart is that I had already spent just GROSS amounts of money that I might have been able to avoid if I'd taken it to Tom in the first place. :( read more

I went there because I have to take the emissions test and I had a check engine light on. Brach's charged me and then told me that my car was old and I should just junk it. They did not produce a diagnostic report or give me any proof they had even looked at my car. They also tried to convince me that blue smoke was coming from my exhaust when it wasn't and still isn't. Also, my check engine light went out when I added engine coolant. It is my intention to never, ever go there again. read more

I started going to Brach's because my parents used them for years. I try and do car repairs/maintenance myself when time and my skill level allow, but I am hardly a skilled mechanic. I never feel like Brach's screws me over. They're not going to bullcrap you and try and get you to fix things that don't need fixing. Tom and his crew seem to be honest and knowledgable and will always treat your car like it's their own. I've taken my car here three times and so far their work has been top notch and my experience has always been positive. Except spending money, that's never positive. But you know what I mean. I trust these guys. read more

Awesome mechanics!!! Tim is great!! I've been using them for years now and they have never disappointed me.

I inquired about having a wheel stud replaced and they gave me a price of $60-$70. They told me it would be at least an hour's worth of work. A place down the street did it for for $15. I ain't sayin'. I'm just sayin'. read more

Just had my 2006 Lexus SUV serviced there for the first time and the experience was awesome. They are trustworthy with great customer service. Everything was explained to me ahead of time and they even gave me pictures of my vehicle with work that needed to be done. This was honestly the best car repair experience I've ever had and they have made me a customer for life. I highly recommend them! read more

I first used Brach's (c. 1994) after I got tired of being ripped off by the dealership. My dad, a mechanic himself, told me to. I must say that Iam extremely pleased, the only reason I don't give them the full five stars is because they don't take reservations. Most recently, I took my 2003 Honda Element to Honda City for a front end alignment. The Honda mechanic lied to my face, he told me my power steering fluid and my cabin filter needed to be changed. I'd just had it done at Brach's a month earlier. When I wanted to show Honda the CRYSTAL CLEAR power steering fluid they suddenly became too busy. Long story short... Brach's is the best and most honest mechanic's I've ever dealt with. read more

I was in town for a week or so when my mother's car blew out an AC fitting. Growing up in the area I walked/drove past Brach's hundreds of times and never had service done there. Taking a look at the reviews and wanting to get it fixed at a local shop, I decided to take it in to Brach's. I was very satisfied with the repair, process, communication and overall service. Brach's is my new local Beverly shop. A+ read more
