Avoid bad experiences like mine - avoid Harry's. I no longer trust them and have found a new shop…read more I was a loyal Harry's customer for eight years - oil changes, brakes, tires, inspections, and other repairs on my Hyundai. Service was reliable and fair-priced. But today I walked out dissatisfied, annoyed, and vowing never to return. It seems they've hired some incompetent mechanics and are now unwilling to make things right after their screw-ups. Some weeks ago, I got my routine oil change (now $50), but found an oil puddle on my garage floor the next morning. When I went back to Harry's, the mechanic said it was "residual oil" that spilled onto the engine splash shield during the oil change and the dripping would soon stop. But days later it was still dripping a lot, so I went back again. The same mechanic now told me it was a faulty drain plug gasket, and he replaced it no charge. I was annoyed that it had taken three trips to Harry's to get the oil change right, but at least the problem was solved. Over the next week, however, I noticed oil was still dripping, although not as badly as before. So I brought it back again. This time, the same mechanic told me fixing the leak would now cost $815 plus tax. The timing chain cover gasket was leaking, he said, and it's an expensive repair. To add to my disappointment, they charged me $30 for the estimate, promising me a credit when I came back for the $815 repair. Meanwhile, he said, I should just live with the leak if I didn't want to spend that much on the car. But it seemed like a strange coincidence that a timing chain cover would start leaking the same day as the oil change ("it happens," Harry's mechanic told me), so I went to another shop recommended by a friend. That shop said the drain plug gasket was leaking - I didn't need any $800 repair. They replaced the gasket, charging me $58 for the parts and labor. The car hasn't leaked a drop since. Today, sure that the leak had been fixed, I went back to Harry's. I asked them (politely) to refund the $30 they charged me for the faulty diagnosis and for the $58 to fix the leak they should have noticed during my three follow-up visits after the oil change. (Of course, I was also irritated to think I could have paid for an unnecessary $815 repair, but I didn't mention it.) They told me, sorry, they wouldn't reimburse me without the faulty drain plug gasket replaced at the other garage. That's a ridiculous requirement, since the garage wouldn't keep a faulty gasket for a week. And the old gasket wouldn't prove anything. It surely had been the problem because the leak stopped after the repair. But Harry's said, "That's our policy." They didn't have the courage to discuss the matter face-to-face, talking with me only through their receptionist. All she would say was, "It's a he-said she-said situation, so they won't do anything without the gasket." (The receptionist was polite, but it's impossible to discuss an issue like this through a third party. That's probably why they wouldn't face me.)

They call before any work is done with a price, and do not do anything without your consent, and they call if anything changes and if they break anything accidentally, they are always honest about it. So it makes me wonder did they not give you something for free as you may have expected? Always 2 sides to a story I say...anyways...sometimes the trash takes itself out...lol...I will always continue to go them.

I spoke with Tony on a Friday and he was able to fit me in on a Wednesday of the following week (Memorial Day weekend) and the car was completed early Thursday morning. Tony was extremely knowledgable going over each component and the steps they would take to install/repair while keeping my bottom line in mind. Tony even dissuaded me from respraying the front bumper cover (didn't need it anyway since the winglets would cover the small rock chips and the labor cost to dismantle and reinstall would be high) as well as not going the route of replacing/painting a totally new trim piece. I am ridiculously meticulous with my car and Coastal truly exceeded all my expectations especially on their workmanship, professionalism, communication and overall cost. I expected the job to be a lot more $$ for what they accomplished - the price was lower than the estimate. Tony is a straight shooter and his honesty and transparency is refreshing. I did not have any paint work or blending done but in my mind, I would not hesitate at all to return to Coastal for any of my vehicle's bodywork/painting or custom installation needs. Thank you guys for making my S60R look fantastic!!

While the vehicle was in their care, Greg backed it into another parked car, causing what appeared to be a minor dent. She initially did not want to file an insurance claim. After heavy rain shortly after, the car developed significant water intrusion in the rear. The dealership later confirmed body damage but advised the issue would be difficult to repair due to the water-related nature of the damage. Regardless of whether the water intrusion is ultimately determined to be related, the shop has refused to provide insurance information for the damage that occurred while the car was in their care, despite repeated requests from both my mother and her insurance company. The lack of transparency and accountability made this situation far more stressful than it should have been.

I live in NYC but am frequently traveling to the north shore of Massachusetts. I came in to State Automotive because my rear suspension was making some squeaks and I wanted to repair it if possible. During the inspection, which was incredibly thorough and documented VERY well, they found a control arm issue which was critical for safety. The squeak issue is actually not a safety issue and I would need to find the part from a third party as it isn't made anymore and getting it pulled at a scrap yard is not a good idea. Andrew couldn't find the part anywhere and I learned this is a common issue on these older Audi cars. The repair to the control arm was done quickly and at a very good price - especially considering the extra consideration Andrew gave to the issue. He gave me a lot of helpful information on how to address additional issues (or not) and was honest about the Car's prognosis. Lastly- worth mentioning that Andrew and his team provide fantastic documentation: a breakdown of all the car issues, photos of the key problems, and a print out for the missing parts needed to repair. If I keep the car and it need more service while I'm in MA, Andrew and his team will be my first stop. Highly recommended.
