Quality no nonsense auto repairs and care. My wife have and I have been going here for several…read moreyears for state inspections and repairs. Last time we took the car in for a oil change/ inspection. Tim and his team figured out what has causing a noise eminating from one of our wheels which was luckily covered under our car's warrantee. The year before we took it to the dealership and they didn't diagnose the problem. When we had an older car Tim and his team did a great job of repairing all of the various problems our car had. What I really like about the place is that they are not pushy in any way. Just a quality auto shop without the up selling which is common at many commercial autoshops and dealers.

My family has been taking our vehicles to Graham's for over twenty years. The work has always been…read moresolid, the prices a touch higher than some shops, but worth it because Tim stands behind everything he does. If an issue comes back, he makes it right. That kind of integrity is why we've stayed loyal for many years. However, there has been a lingering problem that keeps giving me pause, and it has nothing to do with the work that is performed by Tim and his mechanics. It's the woman, who shall remain nameless, who answers the phone that keeps tripping up what should be a smooth, well-oiled experience like it was years ago. Ultimately, getting a direct, straightforward answer from her has proven harder than getting my kids to do their chores, and the tone is about the same, too. There's this steady drip of condescension, as if every question is a personal affront to her. And there are the sighs, the putting on hold, more sighs, and then there is the "Take it or leave it" edict. More than once, I've called needing work done, found myself hanging up mid-conversation, and immediately dialed another shop. In fact, the last couple of times I've called, I didn't even wait for the frustration to build; the moment her voice hit the line, I simply hung up and spared myself the aggravation. There have been times I've asked for clarification or if there was any other availability after she's issued her verdict; it felt like I was stepping out of line and challenging her authority. Which is a strange experience when all I'm trying to do is support a local business and throw money their way. I mean, I get it - it's a busy shop, lots of moving parts...That is not an excuse to be void of a little appreciation, or even a modicum of basic courtesy, which shouldn't be too much to hope for. Tim, I hate that this reflects on your business at all, because you've always been, and I'm sure still are a solid, trustworthy place. Judging by how full your lot is, it's clear you're still a local favorite. All I'm asking is this: please send a little of your empathy and human skills her way. I'm sure she's a perfectly nice woman when she isn't answering the phones, but something changes the moment that line rings, and it's impacting the experience, at least in my opinion, in a way that doesn't match the quality of your work. Thank you for all you do for this community.

Exeter Motor Works is handsdown the best auto repair shop I've ever been too. I'm a person who…read morebasically went from place to place until I found Exeter Motor Works.

I was in the process of pricing new tires because they were getting wore out but the prices were out of control! I was recommended a shop in Dover and I reached out to what I thought was a price quote from them through the Yelp App. As it turns out I was sending out a blast to any shop that wanted to respond. One was Exeter Motor Works to which I used to take my SAAB 9000 to back in the late 90's. I moved further North so going there wasn't as convenient for me. However their shop was one who was presented to me so I called them and they said come on down. I got there an I was treated the exact same way as back in the 90's, graciously, friendly, warm and naturally without any phony "Hi how can I help". I let them know of my predicament and one of the mechanics came right into the greeting area and grabbed my key and started to fix the tire. I had mistakenly walked into the shop area and told them what was wrong so they already knew what was wrong and what to do! As I was getting checked in with my information and the guys were already fixing the tire, I informed the person at the counter I used to come here with my SAAB and the people were awesome! The lady assisting me (sorry my memory is bad) said "Yep you came in here with your SAAB last time in 1999!" I said OMG you still have that information in there, that's cool!" So we had already hit it off and we finished up the repair order. I went and sat down and this gentlemen walked in and the lady said "name?? I want you to meet a customer from 26 years ago who's back!" This person was the new owner now and was very polite and he is a Veteran as well so we already had a connection! The guys finished the tire repair and because of our idle chit chat they were very fair with my and I'm now going to schedule more service with them today! I want to thank the two guys in the shop as I walked in at 4:00 pm and they needed to stay. I also wanted to thank the front office for being so gracious. This maybe long winded but this was my experience.

We brought the car into Gorman's for a brake and rotor repair (far cheaper than Subaru), and mentioned the noise offhand. Aaron took it for a quick drive and knew right away that at least one of the wheel bearings was causing the noise and needed repair. He suggested we get it done since the brakes were being done anyway and it would save us money. Our car has never been this quiet! I am blown away. Brakes are working great, too. We were going to walk back to get the car, but instead Aaron picked us up downtown! He also told us about some really beautiful places to go walking in nature that we hadn't heard of as we are new to the area. Honest prices, sharp mechanics, nice people. We'll be back!

Turned out no bracket or bumper needed. I was left speechless with gratitute when the owner, Cindy, told me how much the repair was. There's barely any trace of dent and the rear bumer is still solid in place. Her honesty is a rarity. Thank you, Cindy!

We've been to Grease Monkey twice for inspection stickers now, the most recent time being the last…read moretime for sure. During our first visit in November, I brought my wife's car in for an inspection. The technician told me we needed new wiper blades or the car would fail the inspection. Surprised, I asked, "Really?" to which he replied, "That's what I said." I didn't catch his name, as they don't wear uniforms, but he was young, scruffy-looking, and lacked any personality--that's the best I can do to describe him. My options were to accept a rejection sticker, buy wiper blades from an auto parts store, replace them myself, and return for a re-inspection, or give in to their upselling extortion and let them replace the blades. Wanting to get on with my day, I opted for the latter. The final bill for the inspection and wiper blades? $115. The second visit was in December when I brought my truck in for an inspection. The process took just 11 minutes. During that time, I witnessed a heated dispute between the same younger technician from the previous visit and an older fellow who looked like he'd just rolled out of bed and hadn't had his coffee or cigarette yet. He wasn't exactly the ideal customer-facing representative. Another customer and I watched and listened as the two argued, slamming tools and doors while hollering at each other. It was an impressive display of unprofessionalism. Watching this, I realized why I'd been upsold during my previous visit--they likely don't get many returning customers. When the inspection was done, I noticed one thing: unless the inspection process had changed, they didn't check my horn, which is a loud airhorn that you would definitely hear and I was waiting to hear. So visually, it seemed to pass. The older technician then came in and, in one breath, told me my brakes had "barely passed" inspection and offered to replace them - I did humor him by asking for the price, he said $1,200, thanked him, paid the woman at the counter, and left. The kicker? My brakes had less than 3,000 miles on them as I had front/back brakes replaced in October by the garage just up the street. So not sure (I am sure) what shenanigans were in play with that one. Maybe whatever part of the inspection that isn't done by the diagnostic machine is done visually and he just has bad eyesight.

"We don't have that any more" But they did have a more expensive one available. I said 'ok, and please change the cabin air filter, also the right rear tire was low. Went to pay , and was told, "We couldn't get the cabin filter out, the car is designed that way. You can watch a you tube video to figure it out. We would have to cut the plastic with a dremel tool." Swear to god, wtf. Got in my car and low tire light was still on. Had to ask them to fill it. The hose they used had water coming from it which goes into my tire. Apparently they don't know you can drain water from the comppressor tank. YIKES. Training here doesn't seem to be their strong suit.
