I've been going to Foundry Street Garage for over 15 years. Ed runs an honest shop and truly cares…read moreabout providing excellent service to his customers at a price you cannot beat. He never pushes repairs - he fixes what needs to be fixed- and understands if you need to hold off on things if money is tight. He does everything from oil changes to repairing brakes- which he did for me in one day!- and everything in between. When I bought a used car from Carvana I brought it over to Ed for him to drive and check out before finalizing because I trusted his judgment - he treats his customers like family. Ellen, who runs the front office and helps out, cares about all customers and goes out of her way to help with anything she can. You will not find a better local shop than this.

What a great experience!…read more My step dad is a mechanic and we found this place while searching local shops to get a transmission reprogrammed for my Lincoln MKX. We have never really used an auto repair shop, seeing as he does it all, yet this was one thing that needed to be done after replacing the transmission. One word : IMPRESSED. Quick and friendly service and honest opinions about the car - which is really appreciated - you don't always see this when going to a auto shop. If you are looking for ANY car service needs, go to Essex County Auto Repair. Highly recommend and we will be back if we need to be. Bravo!

Dave understands that, as a customer, you may want options in your repair. In other words, you may not want to spend $2,000 on a repair for a car that is fifteen years old. He also has been able to solve mysterious mechanical issues that other mechanics could not sleuth out. Most recently, we brought our Subaru into Dave at Middlesex(the owner/mechanic) due to a squeaking sound that we were hearing when traveling at about 65-70 mph. Dave thought that this was a transmission issue that was a known trouble spot for my make and model. I was slightly over the warranty miles, but Dave advised me to call Subaru of North America anyway to see if they could work with me(warranty-wise) on the potential replacement of the transmission since this was a known issue. This process took a little while and Dave coached me a few times during this process. At the end of the day, Subaru covered the transmission replacement 100%. Dave's knowledge and advice saved me thousands of dollars despite the fact that Subaru would have to do that work themselves and Dave wouldn't see any work from it. On a side note, Middlesex Auto is in downtown Melrose. This is super convenient for anyone who lives in Melrose. It is also steps away from buses and the Commuter Rail if you have to leave your car.

It should be covered under warranty, but the Hyundai dealership couldn't get me in for almost two months. They put my car on the lift, took a look, and were able to secure the loose panel in just a few minutes. To my surprise, they didn't even charge me. It wasn't about the amount of work. It was the fact that they took the time to help someone who wasn't even an existing customer and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. That kind of honesty and customer service is hard to find these days. I'll definitely be bringing my car back the next time I need an oil change or any other service. Highly recommend!

He is honest, open and straightforward, is extremely careful and thorough, and often completes work sooner than expected and/or for less cost. He loves a challenge, and has diagnosed and solved many odd problems in our cars, and always explained the exact causes and how they fixed them. His pricing is comparable to or less than that of other shops (and much less than dealers charge), and the work has always been perfect. I highly recommend Avery.
