This was meant to be entered a few weeks back! I had forgot to do it! Victor and his team had installed a driver's window regulator in my car. It had a problem when I went thru the car wash now, and had to be adjusted. Larins team took the car back in and adjusted it 3 times until it was perfect!! They let me make sure at the car wash! I have been going to Larins since I owned my car (2008 Pontiac solstice) and they go above and beyond for customer service! Something that has disappeared in a lot of other places. Thank you guys very much and I am sorry this review is late. My bad! read more

I love buying cars from Larin. We always work with Bob G. And he is so helpful and no pressure! They do an amazing job of getting the best cars with great history so you know you are getting a quality vehicle!! Kate and Paul read more

Larin automotive is a fantastic shop to work with. Their staff are all incredibly friendly and communicative, and their techs are absolute experts. I do most of my own work on my car, but for the stuff I can't do, Larin is the only shop I'll use. I drive 45min out of my way to work with them. Most recently, I had an entirely new suspension setup installed on my car. The techs at Larin not only did a fantastic job with the installation, but they even did their research with the parts manufacturer to be sure that are adjustable specs were set up in the most ideal way. Use Larin, you'll love them. read more

Good diagnosis of why car wouldn't start, comprehensive list of potential problems, timely repair, good communication and very respectful.

Just bought a 2018 Rav4 at a great price. Bob went above and beyond. Direct, friendly, informative and helpful. I never felt pressured to buy the car and I couldn't be happier. The whole experience was outstanding and I would highly recommend this dealer. read more

Bob has been an absolute pleasure to work with on selling my pre-owned vehicle. He has been friendly, approachable, accommodating, and is someone I would work with again. This is my first time selling my car and I immediately felt a sense of ease and trust with him and the whole Larin team. Highly recommend for anyone in the greater Boston area! read more

Everyone here is wonderful, informative and helpful. Really, it's super hard to find a mechanic who you can rely on without being upcharged but these folks are the real deal. I'm glad I found them because I just moved to the greater Boston area from Los Angeles 3 months ago. Now I feel much better knowing I've found mechanics who are trustworthy. Here's my story: I desperately needed my windshield wipers changed because my dumbass and my husband's dumbass (love you honey) bought them and thought we could change them ourselves. We couldn't, and it was drizzling lightly so we're like, getting frustrated with each other at the Walmart parking lot and decided to go to the nearest mechanic. Lo and behold, at 5:15 pm on a Monday, they helped us immediately. Alyssa (or Alissa, I'm not sure how she spells it), answered my call on the phone and was super polite. When we got there, Patrick helped us out immediately and he gave my husband some advice on other car things. He was very kind and if I knew more people, I would recommend Larin Automotive. Since I don't, I'm writing this Yelp review to recommend them to anyone who is still reading my longass post!! read more

I had a great experience at Larin Automotive. Tried the dealerships on the auto mile and they were not appealing at all. Went to Larin and got honest talk and authenticity. Would recommend to anyone looking for a used car. read more

I had a leak in a tire and I removed tire from car and brought the tire to Latin. they said would take an hour. Four hours later they called and said tire was ready. I went down to pick it up and they charged $63.00. to put a plug in the tire. $63.00!!!! will NEVER RETURN! Go to Jim's Automotive on Lenox St in Norwood read more

After months of on-line (pandemic-driven) car research, my husband found the right car at the right price at Larin. I met Bob at 2:30 and was able to drive off with my new (to me) X3 before cocktail hour. It is a pleasure to deal with professionals who can expedite what is normally a painful process! I met a current customer on my way into the office who, after I had mistaken him for an employee, volunteered that he had purchased and had cars serviced at Larin for a number of years and could only give rave reviews. This place just feels honest and we felt good about supporting this smaller, local dealership. Will need to get another car in a few years for a teen driver and will check Larin inventory first. Thanks, Bob! read more

We worked with Bob Genatossio to purchase a used vehicle for our daughter. He was a pleasure to work with, took all of our questions/concerns seriously, and was very open and responsive to follow up questions. The car is in very good shape and was a great find. Thanks so much, Bob and Larin Auto! read more

After finding out that I'd have to wait months for Jaguar to honor their certified pre-owned warranty and fix a leaking coolant issue on my F-Pace, Larin Automotive stepped up, diagnosed the issue, ordered the parts and repaired the car quickly and efficiently. Chris and others in the shop were very helpful and the communication and response times were excellent. They were also very patient with having to hold off on repairing the issue while I checked to see if it would be covered by Jaguar. read more

I could not be more pleased with my buying experience at Larin Automotive. I dealt mostly with Bob but also got to meet the owner, Victor Larin and he certainly lived up to the way he was described on the reviews. Bob was fantastic to deal with. I had been shopping for a Jeep for my son for six months. Six months seemed like plenty of time until a pandemic hit. I looked at over 500 Jeep's, many from other states. Finally I landed on this Jeep at a small dealership in Norwood, MA. The price seemed high but the ratings about the dealer were excellent! Something didn't make sense. So I went to look at the Jeep on a Sunday so I could just look with no pressure. As soon as I saw it I knew I had found the right vehicle but the price didn't make sense based on so many Jeeps I had read up on. So I called and got Bob. Bob allowed me to tell my story and then he let me drive the pace of the process. He told me his story and we agreed to keep talking as we worked to find common ground and a fair deal. I found Bob to be personable, professional and, based on our conversations, we built a respect and a trust that afforded me a respectful and patient process. I visited Larin Automotive four separate times. I did not drive the Jeep until the fourth visit. I then spoke with Bob over the phone and we agreed on a price that we both worked hard to get to. This was the most enjoyable car buying experience I have ever had. And then when I picked up the car (everything went perfectly smoothly as Bob handled everything and the financing was great!) I drove off and noticed a class act gesture by Bob and the dealership (besides the car being detailed to a brilliant shine) but I'll leave that to be a surprise for you as well. The surprise prompted me to call Bob and thank him for a great finishing touch to an outstanding process. I recommend Larin Automotive and their impressive inventory to anyone shopping for a car. I'll be back to buy my daughter a car in 18 months. Thank you Bob and Victor!! Chuck G. Norfolk, MA read more

Larin Automotive LLC - Couldn't be happier with our purchase! - Auto Repair Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Excellent, honest service. I had a small leak in my muffler that was causing one of my Mazda's oxygen sensors to return a check engine code. They told me it's safe to drive for now, and that if I bring it to a muffler shop, it'll likely be cheaper than if they do it (although they could). I really appreciated them being so straightforward about it. Also solved an issue with one of my car's sliding passenger doors. Also worth noting is that if you have AAA you get 10% off any labor. Nice people. Comfortable waiting room too. read more

Larin simply is outstanding. Thank you for helping my coworker by fabricating extension brackets on our 2016 Ford Focus. read more

I had my race car break down a week before the last race of the season, fix required to pull my transmission out. With short time frame and required tools I was not able to complete the job myself. I have heard about Larin for few years prior bringing my car there, so going in I already had confidence, but I was surprised to receive the love I got from them. The job was attacked right away to help me make the deadline, YES. I had contacted few other shops, and none of them wanted to make room for me or bend their schedule. Victor did exactly opposite and stayed late to finish up the job. Thank you!! Since then I have brought my Civic for all maintenance work. Clean, knowledgable, and super fast turn around with an option to work with my budget is all I always seek from a Mechanic, and Larin Automotive nailed that. read more

You can always count on these guys delivering high quality work.

I have been taking my BMW to Larin for the last year and have always received excellent service. The pricing is fair and they always explain any service it may need. One big plus is my calls are always returned, I can't say the same for the local dealership. read more

We all know yesterday is gone and so are the high standards we all met. Well, wait a minute, when we value longevity with our cars you really should take it foreign/domestic to Larin Automotive. This team is a dream team. Smart, knowledgeable, precise quality, not just a generic approach. The Larin Team is a Class Act which is almost non existent today. A problem? bring the vehicle back to Larin to achieve a solution. It's great being part of the solution instead of the problem.... Let's Roll............Madeline Eysie read more

UPDATE: Unfortunately our initial experience with Larin was overshadowed with some disturbing post-purchase issues with our auto and LA. A few short months after purchasing our 'excellent condition' Chevy Silverado, signs of previous bodywork began to reveal itself with the observation of significant rust on the rear wheelwells of our vehicle. I am not an autobody expert yet it seems like the truck we bought had some cosmetic enhancements to boost it's value. When our family was shopping for a truck we were looking for a specific vehicle with low mileage, sound body, and a long term investment as we keep our vehicles for the long haul. To our surprise when we raised the rust issues with LA the response was that we purchased a Work Truck and that these cosmetic issues are expected... I beg to differ. When we purchased the truck we were explicit and trusting of LA, since we were out of state buyers, that we wanted to know the true condidtion of the vehicle. We even, after getting assurances from LA about the soundness of the vehicle, felt comfortable enough to purchase the vehicle for FULL list price, sight unseen, based upon LA's reputation and presentation of the Silverado's condition. In fairness to LA, I did receive a call from salesman yet once again was told that I bought a 'work' truck... really? The model may be referred to as a work truck BUT what I was shopping for and bought was a vehicle, once again based upon, low mileage, sound body, and a long term investment. Due to some health issues I have not pursued my continued vehicle issue with LA yet would have expected they could have followed up with some amenable resolution. INITIAL RECCO: We had the wonderful experience of purchasing the truck that we have been searching for quite some time; when we were connected with Larin via a vehicle search. Bob was super responsive with his follow-up to our questions regarding the vehicle. We are out of state and bought the vehicle sight unseen yet Bob was able to provide us photos, video, and detailed responses to all of our typical queries that come with buying a vehicle that you can touch, feel, and kick the tires. The paperwork process was seamless with Bob's acumen dealing with banks and insurance folks. The whole transaction took less than 10 days from first call to vehicle pick-up and it would have been half that IF bank funds transfer was quicker. Hats off to Bob and Vic for a well oiled business and I only wish I lived closer to Larin so we could utilize their other services! read more

First off, AAA sends their desperate customers with broken down cars to Larin Auto - they say you get a 2 year warranty. If $$ is no object, I am sure this is a great place. Well, they gave us an estimate of $2400 for an old car. We got it fixed somewhere else for $1000 but had to pay to have it towed out of there. And Larin charged us for their estimate. Maybe they are good at repairing cars, but they have a deal going with AAA. So you pay extra for the 2 year warranty and for whatever kickback they are giving AAA. Nothing is for free. They are working on so many cars- it is like a factory over there. With an old car that you don't want to put a lot of $$ into - run don't walk away from Larin Auto. read more

From start to finish, it was a pleasant experience with Larin. They treated us fairly with little to no "car salesman" nonsense. The car was reasonably priced and properly maintained. These guys care about their reputation and have earned it going above and beyond. Their shop is clean (by auto shop standards) and well equipped with some nice tools. Free car delivery was a big plus too! read more

After working with Bob, I will never shop anywhere else for a used car! I've been looking for a used vehicle for my young adult children to share. After spending months online searching for cars in our price range, scheduling test drives, and getting the hard sell from less than honest dealers, I found Larin Automotive. We test drove two cars, and Bob supplied us with each vehicle's entire history of ownership, repair, and maintenance. The Honda Accord we decided on had two airbag recalls that hadn't been addressed. Bob scheduled the repair with the Honda dealership, brought the car in, and had the vehicle (washed) and ready to drive off the lot when we arrived to pick it up. What I found refreshing was Bob's honesty, efficiency, and professionalism. I'll be trusting Larin with all of our vehicle needs from here on out! Thank you!! read more

I'll never take my Fiat to the dealership again. My car kept stalling so I had it towed to the dealership only to find that they wouldn't be able to even look at it for almost a month, and then that they'd impound my car if I didn't have it picked up immediately. I called Larin and they were happy to take it. They diagnosed and fixed it in 2 days, and Victor couldn't have been nicer. read more

I love this team they take good care of my cars and they are personable. They know their stuff when it comes to cars. They don't try to just run up the bill. I have been going there a few years now and they have always done good work and in a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend them highly. read more

I can't speak higher enough of the service from Brandon and the rest of the team at Larin. Brought in my Audi A4 with only a week to get it fixed before I needed to retest it for my registration. Brandon hustled, ordered the needed part (from Germany, no less), had it picked up early and installed. He also took it upon himself to take the car to get retested on my behalf, and kept me in the loop the entire time. Killer work, killer service, which landed them a lifetime customer. Update one year later: Time to renew the registration and receive the same stellar service I had last year. Brandon crushed it, and I have a great idea of some fixes I need to handle. Keep it up Larin read more

Let's get straight to the point, Victor is one of the most honest mechanics I have ever dealt with. Now let's lay out the story. I'm in my 50s, I grew up relatively poor, but lacked for nothing. My brothers and I always had a car that we work on and learned on, so I understand the mechanics of an automobile. But now I'm all grown up and can afford, and frankly don't have the time to work on my own vehicle. Last year I blew the engine in my Jeep and knew that I wanted to keep it. It's my pride and joy! After doing a little research and considering do it myself I asked Larin Automotive to look at it and quote me a price. First off they were less expensive than the dealer and several other shops and I've always been comfortable with Victor "The Owner." Let's just say that I'm overjoyed with the experience and the money I spent. I even ended up doing a few things that I'd been meaning to do as well while he had my baby. Fast forward to today when I blew a radiator hose on my Jeep. It was a brand new hose and Victor brought me straight in and swapped it out in a couple of hours at no charge. Never gave me even a hint of gruff about it. This is a man and a shop that stand behind all of their work and back it up when push comes to shove. Most people think "honest mechanic" is an oxymoron but I can tell you I will be using Larin Automotive for as long as I own vehicles! read more

Now this is the garage that all European car owners need to look into! Fast, honest, clean and professional. I think that sums it up! I have a Mercedes diesel and it can be tricky to find an honest and knowledgeable mechanic, these guys blew my expectations. Customer for life, thanks again! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place! I brought in my '11 BMW 550i to have new wheels put on. The manufacturer sent me one faulty wheel with an incorrect bore size. Brandon assisted me with expediting a new wheel from CA to MA. He stored all of the wheels in his shop until the replacement arrived. The shop is clean and convenient. Plus everyone is very knowledgeable, especially with BMW's. I will bring my car back for all future service. Paul read more

Took my 2013 TSX Wagon to these guys today and they did a wonderful job installing a new air intake. The car has a noticeable improvement in performance, enough to have made me giggle a bit when I picked it up, and it def has more of a roar than a purr now. Everything works wonderfully and after popping the hood all seems to be secured tightly and correctly. All my old parts were neatly packed and put into my trunk. Highly recommended! read more

I'm so happy that I found Larin Automotive! Victor and his team are the best! If you want great customer service and honest advice, I highly recommend Larin. I have been going here for car service for a few years now with 2 different cars. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you Victor and team! Rhonda read more

Thanks to everyone at Larin for modifying my high mileage wagon. There was some issues tuning such a high mileage car and Victor and Zeke went out of there way to get these issues resolved. They even gave me a ride from the shop back home and then dropped the car off for me when the work was complete. Also big thanks to John and everyone else who worked on my car. I appreciate the time they took to do everything properly. read more

Victor and his team are great. They are honest, efficient and knowledgeable. I live in New York City and arrange for my car to be serviced when I am in the area. I would have no one else to take care of my car read more

This place was awesome!! They were very helpful and honest about what I needed. I came here after an extremely high estimate at Sullivans Tires, so here was where I came for a second opinion. They were so easy to deal with and very honest! I highly recommend this place! read more

Bought a used car from Larin. Fantastic experience. Everything was listed accurately online. Victor (owner) and Bob (sales) were easy to work with and professional. They had good communication, were punctual, and didn't try to force an unwanted sale. Would highly recommend this group. read more

Been to a lot of mechanics but this place does it my way . Up to date with computers that email you all the info you need to make the discussions you need to make. Even came with pictures to help You decide. Most professional shop I have ever worked with.thank you aylissa and victor ! read more

Trust is a huge factor when it comes to auto mechanics, and there is no one I trust more to tell me exactly what needs to be done to my car than Victor. He is spot on with his diagnoses. The quality of the work is also very high. My car has a warranty. The times I have gone to my Jeep dealership to have a part replaced afterwards I make sure to have Victor check it out as well. There have been several occasions when Victor spotted issues with replacement parts that I would otherwise never know about. I definitely recommend Larin Automotive! read more

Nice but incompetent. Went to them with 3 problems. Three visits and $2000 later, I still had the same 3 problems. Took it to another mechanic who quickly fixed all three problems. Even the routine maintenance work Larin did (muffler) had to be redone because they didn't take the time to hang it properly by fitting it into the designed slot. Thank goodness I didn't let them do the repair the third time (for another $600) as what they cited as the issue turned out not to be the problem. I see that a lot of positive reviewers worked with the owner, Victor, who was not involved with my car. But by the time a customer brings the car back a third time for the same issues, you'd think the owner would want to be involved. They came highly recommended to me from a friend, and she suggested that maybe they had grown too quickly and the mechanics that were being hired might not be as good as Victor. On the plus side, they were really good about getting me in quickly, offering me a loaner car when the repairs took longer than expected and communicating what they thought was wrong with the car. I just hope they get more competent mechanics, because in the end, you go to a shop to get your car fixed. Update 5/4/16 Victor tracked me down through the friend who referred me. He was apologetic that he was away the third time I brought my car in and seemed genuinely upset that a customer had a bad experience. We went through everything and came to a good resolution. So after this, what I can say is that I think if you have a problem with a repair done there, you should definitely ask to get Victor involved. Sometimes repairs can go wrong with anyone and I think you learn more about a person when things go wrong than when they go right. So I can say that Victor is a honest businessman who cares about his customers. read more
