My gown had 5 layers of tulle and required a LOT of bustle buttons, and they handled every detail so beautifully. The dress fits perfectly and the craftsmanship truly made my vision come to life. Not only did they do an amazing job on my gown, but they also sell so many gorgeous dresses in the shop. My mother-in-law was able to find a beautiful dress there that Rosa altered flawlessly. My maid of honor and sister-in-law also had their dresses altered here, and every single one came out perfect. You can truly tell how much care, talent, and attention to detail Rosa and her team put into their work. Such a wonderful experience from start to finish and I'm so grateful I trusted them with such an important part of my wedding I'll definitely be adding photos after I get married in a week and a half!

I do not know whose idea that was but I hope he is getting residuals. This location is so clean and comforting, almost got a starbucks vibe. It's like they dont want you to leave. Display cases well thought out, lounging area, pour up a cappuccino (this is not available, but with this vie it should be). Now lets talk about what really set the vibe, why are they all a friendly team. I put emphasis on team. They are all very knowledgeable, kind and gave me way more information then I expected to learn on my trip there. This was my biggest highlight they have aphrodisiac gummies ... did you just read what I typed? Bonkers, not to mention these cool flip ash trays. I spent more than I wanted to cause its hard not to buy the products. The amount of things they have tailored to woman is crazy. I never find things for women, all my smoke stuff has been a comprimise to what the least manlies thing is, I appreciate a good smoke kit. Shout out to them for being inclusive, and that is legit to everyone. If people around you dont fit your vibe, dont change the vibe change the people. This is that kind of place. Thank you; Jocelyn, Linda, John, and Demaris for making this such a invigorating experience. John, thank you for your kindness and compliments. Your knowledge about the store and products def kept me interested and engaged

Kudos to Curate for braving the pandemic and bringing a new gift shop to Cushing Square at a…read morechallenging time! It's conveniently located in the heart of the Square near Savino's, Ovenbird, and the Spirited Gourmet, my other favorite neighbor businesses. Curate is a bright little shop with a variety of classy and fun gifts, stationary, and home items that change with the seasons. I usually pop in to buy a card and a chat with the owner. I've found gifts for hosts, housewarmings, and occasions in between. I especially like their candle selection, many of which are soy based. They carry amazing scents from a small business in Rhode Island, with candles and lotions that smell exactly like the seashore. After a cousin fell in love with one of them, I bought a bagful at the end of the season clearance to treat relatives to a scent party. They also carry British Christmas crackers when in season (like now!). These are so hard to find! The crackers (beautiful wrapped cylinders that pop open when pulled to reveal little gifts) delighted my family when I brought them to our holiday gatherings last year. (Note that crackers contain a tiny amount of gunpowder and technically can't go on a flight, something I had tried before...!) Curate's products tend towards the classy side with mid to higher prices to match. Sometimes I just go to poke around and see what's new. They have some baby gifts and customized items for Belmont and Watertown, but if you want a wider selection, I would go elsewhere. The owner has also kindly offered to order things that I couldn't find directly in the shop, but I haven't tried that option yet.

I already got the shocks from a friend that works at a dealership in Quincy. When I made the appointment the owner informed me he didn't really want to install other peoples supplies and preferred to supply and install his own equipment, which is fair. He told me he would do it this time only, I said great and if there was anything else that needed to be done just go ahead and do it. He call when the truck was ready, I went and paid my bill not paying much attention to it. (Extra needed work was done) When I got in my truck I noticed my shocks were still in the box not used on the back seat. When I asked about it, he claimed he wasn't there and someone else did the work. He didn't even offer to try and make it right, so much for customer service. I will never go back. There are no degrees of honesty. Thanks for reading.

He said if he fixed it, he'd have to replace the whole line from the hole to the mufflers, so Lou's was the better option. As much as I like the sound of a nice exhaust, the hole was making my car sound like a cheap Honda Civic. Booking an appointment online was super easy. I showed up earlier than planned because traffic wasn't bad, and they were able to take my car in right away. One of the techs even answered my questions about muffler deletes and inspections in MA without making me feel dumb, which I really appreciated. They patched the holes quickly and now my car sounds nice and quiet again where it matters. I'm still on the fence about doing muffler deletes, but if I decide to go that route, I'll definitely be bringing it back to Lou's.

5 Stars - Trustworthy, Professional, and Woman-Friendly Auto Shop!…read more I found D&G Auto Repair thanks to the great Yelp reviews, especially from other women. My longtime mechanic had retired, and I wasn't sure where to go next until I discovered D&G Auto Repair on Yelp! In August 2025, I brought my car in for brake service (pads and rotors replacement). From the very beginning, I felt I was in good hands. Paulo, the manager, responded to my Yelp inquiry almost immediately. He was professional, kind, and attentive. He listened carefully to my concerns and explained everything in a clear, respectful way, something I truly appreciate. I felt a strong sense of trust that he genuinely cared about my car and my safety. When I arrived at the shop, Paulo was just as professional and kind in person. He made me feel confident in my choice to use to D&G Auto Repair. After I left my car, he followed up via text with an estimated bill before starting any work, which gave me peace of mind and control over the process. The shop itself is small but clearly run by expert technicians, and the waiting room is clean and comfortable, a nice bonus! I returned yesterday with a question about a noise I'd heard. Tony, one of the technicians, came out and personally walked around my car with me. He pointed out how clean it looked and even asked about repairs I had done elsewhere. He gave me a mini lesson on body repair which was surprisingly enlightening. He then gave me directions to the nearest Auto Parts store and Car Wash. That kind of extra care is rare and so appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend D&G Auto Repair, especially for women who are looking for a respectful, honest, and trustworthy place to bring their vehicles. I'll definitely be back!
