Don't expect to get your car in and out today; even an inspection will not be until next week. He always has a friend or two hanging around in the garage. He's quiet but thorough and great with cars. It's easy to get a "eff you buddy " vibe from him, but that's not who he is if you're willing to wait a couple days to get in.

We used Boyer's on the recommendation of a friend. Boyer's did the work we requested on time & for…read morea reasonable price. But, they also fixed (or faked) other 'problems' that we didn't ask about, for a total cost five times what we expected going in! We took our car in for an A/C recharge and oil change. Somehow they decided we needed new wheel bearings ($$$), even though we weren't having any problems. We couldn't even tell that they actually did anything. When we came to pick up our car, Boyer's had drained the battery to the point where the dash wouldn't light up. We had never had a problem starting the car prior to this. So we had to leave it there. When they replaced the battery a week later, they not only charged us the full price for the problem they had caused, they also tacked on some small charges for other 'fixes' we hadn't approved. This included new headlamps (I happen to have checked the headlamps just before bringing the car in and they were working fine then) and adding oil (I guess they forgot they had just changed the oil!)

Approximately 2 weeks later on a trip to Nashville Tennessee the repair failed while drivng down the highway 1100 miles from home. The failure almost caused my tire to fall off. I was able to get it to the side of the highway and towed to a local garage. Without any prior knowledge of a recent repair the mechanic in Tennessee noted the cv axle nut was cross threaded and caused the failure. When approached, Lee got defensive and claimed by the pictures he saw it was caused by a different part in the wheel even though the mechanic who had hands and eyes on it noted the failure was caused by the cross thread. Instead of taking responsibility Lee decided to lie about his conversation with the mechanic in Tennessee and then proceeded to offer me less than half the cost of repair in order to make this go away. Now im forced to sue him and make sure everyone knows the hack job his garage did. ​​

PLEASE READ FULL REVIEW: Two years ago, I was in a bind as an out-of-towner when my alternator died…read moreon a camping trip. Not only did this place get me out of a bind, but they did great work and gave a fair price (which, in my experience, is very rare when one is an out-of-towner). Since then, I have recommended him to all of my fellow vacationers at my club in Essex County. HOWEVER: I returned today with brake issues and had a completely different experience, much more like what you would expect when you are up the creek without a paddle (i.e., when they don't see you as a prospect for future business). I guess all the friends I referred failed to drop my name! In any event, I am rescinding my recommendation after taking this bath. Hopefully, my previous super-positive review successfully deleted. My advice: don't drive past other mechanics to reach Viele's if you are in a bind. Expect that the price will suck, take your lumps, and move on. Be safe. No more reasonable prices for out-of-towners here. (Work was still sufficient on this hard-to-botch brake job, hence, I'll refrain from giving the lowest possible rating despite experiencing the lowest possible satisfaction.)

I'd trust them with any repairs I needed to any vehicle I have ever owned. Number One: THE SHOP IS CLEAN! You can all but eat off the garage floors. I can see that the bays and tools are organized and handy from looking in from outside, and that's a key signature of professional mechanics and management. The office and waiting area are clean as a whistle too; and everyone is very polite and friendly in addition to being knowledgeable and helpful. Prices are VERY fair, and they'll quote you up front for any work to be done. For maintenance, repairs, and towing I rely on Viele's as my go to and recommend them every chance I get.
