Adiel replaced water pump, timing belt, wheel bearing & noticed several oil seals needing replacement while doing that. I have found orher shops don't notice those things only doing what they are told to do. Highly recommend, extremely good pricing too. I have given up on Firestone & VIP, oh my god they are bad. Even the employees have recommended letting my mechanic (Adiel) do the work instead! Adiel is keeping my 1999 Lexus GS300 w now 350,000 miles on it in top shape! read more

I've been going to Common St. Auto for 6 years now. I give Adiel and his team the highest marks possible. Absolutely outstanding customer service and the work they do (for me on a VW Golf) is first rate. I've never had a bad experience with them, they've all been excellent. He has always lived up to his forecast of how long the repair will take. One time he noted a leak in my gas tank that may have saved my life. And his prices are very reasonable. Go to Adiel with the highest confidence. Great guy and a great crew. read more

Called, spoke to Adeil (owner), he suggested I come in that morning. I got my vehicle towed there (had to, a belt had broken in my engine), met Adeil and handed him the belt, we popped the hood and chatted a few minutes about the circumstances of my car breaking down. Considering my car is 17 years old, any number of things *could* be wrong with it...Adeil looked into my engine and battery warning lights, diagnosed the problem, and for a reasonable price and in about a day, fixed it. Only two things needed to be fixed (the belt and the alternator). He inspected the engine and underneath the car and said everything else looked to be in good working order, even the tires! So nice to find an honest mechanic close to home! And as a woman, I appreciate his direct, honest demeanor! I will be taking my car here from now on. read more

Adeil answered the phone on a Sunday, and talked with my wife and daughter about the issue. It was decided best to tow the 2002 Volkswagen beetle in to shop. Once there it was determined a bad Clutch and Master cylinder. While car was there Adeil made sure there were no other issues with car. This is our go to shop in Boston Area. read more

Common St Auto - Perry Back on the Road! - Auto Repair Near Me - Belmont, Massachusetts

Stunning customer service, care, and quality. Had an issue with my alignment, brought it in to see if that was the issue. Brought it in before work, was done by end of day! Gave it a few days and my Volvo is driving better the ever! The cost was very fair and the efficiency in which the problem was address will have me coming back again as a customer! Thank you!! read more

We've had oil changes to parts replaced on our 4Runner at Common St Auto. Before we found Common St Auto I was sure we would never find an honest & thorough mechanic, but to our relief, we've found them here. Oil changes & broken/corroded car parts are inevitable, but with Common St Auto I know I will always be provided with quality service at a reasonable price. read more

Adiel and Roosevelt were absolutely incredible in servicing me and I have to give them such a shout out because they went beyond what I'd even expected. I went in to replace my shocks, thinking that was the issue, along either brake light bulb replacements. Both Roosevelt and Adiel were very kind in hearing me out, then diagnosing the issue. Beyond accurately identifying the actual issue (wheelbearing assembly - not shocks), and not only just charging a reasonable price but actually an *affordable* price, me and my mom realized a sound that we'd gotten used to (I mean for years) wasn't actually normal (despite all other mechanics telling us either nothing was wrong or it was the shocks for over two years) and became silent after our fix. Not only that, the bulb replacement (which they thought would be simple so proactively offered to take care of it for us - on the house) was actually a problem with the brake wire rather than the bulb itself. Which was a much more complicated and costly repair, and they followed through with their original offer of doing it for free. Even though I hesitated they insisted that they'd not charge me for it. Not to mention, we went in past noon on a Saturday and came back about 4 or 5 hours later on a same day to the fixed car, like the service was fast. I am thrilled with Adiel and Roosevelt and highly recommend them to anyone looking for repair shops, and I will certainly return myself. read more

With the impending auto tariff next week, I promptly scheduled my first appointment with Adeil at Common St Auto, following research for an auto mechanic last fall. I felt confident when he told me how he could service the breaks on my Toyota Prius, and reassured by his rapport with existing customers. It was a pleasant surprise that he let me drive his Focus for transportation in the chilly weather. He then texted the evaluation clip with audio explanations, followed by the estimate. Also, he had all the necessary parts and completed the job in an efficient, streamlined process. Now, my car runs smoothly and feels sturdier than ever. Not to mention, Adeil saved me from the arrogant dealer prices in this uncertain economy. read more

One of the nicest folks and highly recommend! Moved in from out of town and he was promptly called me back and schedule me in for next day. My car was making kind of weird sound when I stopped. When I went to the shop, he asked me to come back 30 minutes. He literally worked and checked on my car for an hour. After, he said car is Okay to drive and all good! Since I was alone in the town without my husband and I was very nervous! Most of crazy thing was he did NOT charge me for anything!! I simply can not believe it- there are still some nice people left in this world! what a service! Mi Lee read more

Common Street Auto is the only place I trust my car to. I have been a patron for decades and go out of my way to get my gas here as well. Adiel is so honest with repairs and as a woman I never feel like I'm being sold more than what the car actually needs. Adiel goes out if his way to do extra for me every time and his guys are very respectful and so courteous. Reliable and always so timely in getting things done. Really means something in todays climate. Side note- the lovely gentleman who pumps the gas is literally one of the nicest people on the planet. His presence is zen like. read more

Adiel is kind, communicative, and charged me less than 1/3 of what another mechanic quoted me. So glad I found this place, after many years of trying to find a good local mechanic. I usually leave mechanics feeling mildly ripped off but had precisely the opposite experience here. While no one wants to have car problems, I feel a lot better knowing that I can bring it here and get an honest, expert opinion and a quick turnaround, all for a more than reasonable price especially given how good the service is. (Note that it's the tiny shop around the right side of the Citgo gas station. The bays that open toward the street are the inspection station, not the repair shop.) read more

My car had to go to local autobody shop because of a small collision from snow and I am so greatful that I found this one. They are by the kindest and best autoshop I went in the area. They are quick to respond, transparent with all the problems with the car and pricing, and would be ppl who would be on your side against the insurance company (in my case, Geico). My quote also came out to be a lot lower than I thought as well. When I had my car being fixed they provided a ride home neardy and even cleaned and detailed my car after the fixing. I will be recommending this place to anyone local. Alio you are the best! read more

Hello, I have had the best experiences here and wish I could give more stars than 5! I have come here twice for my car. The works are all super knowledgeable and kind. The owner is very sweet and will not try to uncharge you. As a young women not originally from this area, he was the only one that when shopping around for quotes was willing to work with me to find the best option for my budget and did not try and upsell me at all. I greatly trust his advice and he won't tell you things are wrong with your car just to get more money out of you. I cannot recommend this place enough and will hopefully be going here for years to come. Lastly, the quality of service and respect for your time is one of my favorite things about this place. read more

Highly recommended. Battery change was great and 45000 mile maintenance service for my Honda CRV was excellent. Fast, honest and reasonable price!! read more

Great mechanic and excellent, friendly service. I appreciate that we can easily text for updates. My good ol' car died after 11 years. Common St. provided an estimate and then helped me junk the car. They also just tuned up our Rav4 and fixed a number of little issues that needed attention. The price is reasonable, turnaround is quick, and the owner even arranged that I could get my car on a Sunday, so I'll have it for the workweek. Highly recommend. read more

They were very informative about what work was done which made me feel much more comfortable with a subject I am not that knowledgeable. Also very realistic when it comes to the overall bill. read more

I went here for a second opinion after being advised at pleasant car care (Watertown) that I needed a valve cover gasket replacement due to supposed oil leaks in the engine compartment. Upon taking the car to common st for inspection, I was told that I did not need a replacement and that everything looked normal for the age of my car. They were honest in saying I didn't need any work done and saved me from potentially spending $700 (Pleasant quote). I will be going to common st for future car repair and maintenance needs. read more

When was the last time that you went to a car shop and were charged LESS than the quote? I thought I was looking at some major work, but the owner was very honest and told me it might just be a line or a seal. He showed me pictures of everything that needed to be replaced. And the final bill came in at 25% less than the quote. He also noticed my handicap placard and told me he's giving me two free oil changes! Such a relief to find an honest, professional mechanic. And he's right down the street. I'm not going anywhere else for car repairs anymore. Common Street Auto in Belmont is the place to go. read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience here. Very respectful and understanding staff. They waited for me after 3pm on a Saturday even though it was their closing time. Very fast service with reasonable service fees. Thank you ! read more

They definitely ate food in the back seat (something like a sandwich, that left lots of crumbs and chocolate wrappers) and used up a third of my gas tank. If you go to this place, take a pic of the backseat and dashboard. I wish I had known to do that. read more

The other good reviews on here steered me right - these mechanics were great! My car broke down while I was driving, and luckily I was able to get a hold of Adiel before the shop closed to see if I could get it towed there. He said no problem and that they'd look at the car first thing in the morning. Came back the next day to drop off the keys, and he was able to diagnose and fix the problem (broken alternator belt) within a couple hours! The price was very reasonable, and the service was unmatched. Thank you Adiel, I'll be back again! read more

Most honest pricing you'll find with quick turnaround times. You can easily drop in and get taken care of but obviously appointments make life easier for everyone. read more

Dropped off my mom's car (which had been sitting in a driveway unused for 2+ years) on a Friday afternoon. Got a call on Monday with an estimate for a new battery, brake job, and new fluids. Estimate was less than I'd been quoted elsewhere, and Adiel told me it would be ready the next day. Tuesday I picked up the vehicle, and the price was even less than the estimate. Friendly, efficient, quick, professional and affordable. Will be back! read more

Friendly service, reasonable pricing, quick turnaround. It's a rare thing to get work done on your car and not feel that you have been scammed or overcharged. Thank you so much, Adiel! I will be back. read more

Adiel was awesome. I came here because of the reviews and because they quoted me half of what another garage quoted for the same work. When I got there, I was prepared to drop a few hundred dollars. Turns out the problematic sound that had been misdiagnosed as bad brakes by another mechanic, was a power steering fluid leak. I only had to pay $20! I have so much respect for Adiel and his team, and will definitely come to him from now on. read more

My car failed its inspection at a garage near my apartment in Boston and the mechanic said it was because the cars emission system could not communicate with the testing equipment. After some research and calling my mechanic, I was 80% sure I had either been ripped off or the other garage was just incompetent. My parents have been coming to this garage for a while and recommended I have them take a look. It was a great choice. The mechanic hooked my car up for free, did a quick test and was able to tell me everything looked ok. He then was 100% upfront that I could get my car retested for free at the garage that had failed me and that he could not guarantee it would pass the full inspection test. I decided to pay for the inspection and as expected my car passed. I'm giving this place five stars since the owner spent 10 minutes doing a free initial test on my car so he could tell me if there were any obvious problems. That gave me the confidence to go ahead and get the car inspected again. Passing the inspection saved me a 129 dollar maintenance appointment and having to take half a day off work. read more

Murat at Common Street auto is the man ! Very friendly, very honest, very knowledgeable about my old VW. The shop is small and so there is occasionally a wait, but he knows his stuff. Very Satisfied ! Not to be confused with the Gulf station in the same building. read more

Approached this shop for a touch up job on a smaller than 1mm paint chip in my 2017 Maserati and was quoted $2000. Several other shops in the area offered to do this for free, including my dealership, if I bought the $45 dollar paint kit. read more

My daughter went there today and they were able to change her oil right away. Fast and friendly service!

Brought my 12 year old Audi that was leaking coolant here because of the location and great reviews. Just got the car back and it looks good and they offer a one year warranty on their work, which is a nice assurance. Price could not be beat, turnaround was fast, and Davit is very responsive to phone calls. I would definitely bring my car here again. Just wanted to report that almost a year later all repairs have held up well. I have continued to bring my car here for all service and repairs with great results. read more

By far the best mechanic I have ever worked with.... Quick to diagnose the problem, polite and kind and his rates are very reasonable. He goes out of his way... I mentioned the reason I was dropping off the car that day was I had an appointment at Mt. Auburn hospital and he offered to drive me over. read more

I have taken cars to this shop a few times over the last couple of years when I needed repairs done while I am at work. They work incredibly quickly, their prices are excellent, and they are a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended. read more

I am a first time customer to Common St Auto,I needed to have a 45.000 check up on my Yarus.I asked for info on that was required by Toyota. Within minutes the info was shown to me and I said go ahead,they did a great job. They are my new best garage to work on my cars read more

The greatest. Reasonable prices, pleasant. I've been there for some major work--had to have an oil leak fixed, which required them to lift the engine out etc. Today took the car in because the car "skirt"-- the covering beneath the engine compartment, was dragging. I was going to drop the car and come back, but Adiel said he could do it right then. Apparently they just needed to re-clamp it. They took less than 20 minutes, but hey, I was ready to pay....but Adiel waved me off with a "no charge." They are great people... i would recommend them for anything. read more

So glad that I started coming here. The staff are so helpful, accommodating, and fair. Within the past month I've gone there twice and have left so glad. I am fortunate to live close by to them, but even as I move to a new town soon, I will definitely return here for service. read more

Brought my car in for an inspection and was very happy with the level of service. I came here due to very good ratings shown on Yelp and Google. Very polite folks that work here. Plus a clean and organized office! read more

The owner checked my entire car over when I had a concern about the brakes, only to find out it was a stuck emergency brake and he charged me nothing for his time. Even tried to slip him $40 and he wouldn't take it. A real gem. read more

These guys are fantastic! We have a Toyota Sienna minivan. A number of lights started going off warning us about the ABS system and the VSC system. Then the speedometer started acting up and bouncing around to different speeds. We took it into a dealer, who reported that the ABS module needed replacement and hit us with a $4500 price tag to replace the system. We took it into Common Street Auto. They took a look at the ABS module, saw that there was some corrosion on the wires leading to the ABS module, cleaned the leads and the problems were fixed. We've been driving the van for a while now and now issues to report. They saved us a ton of money. We're taking our cars to them first next time. read more
