My 14 year-old Honda needed brake inspection and possible replacement and a friend recommended Leary's. I called ahead and received a range of estimates depending on the severity of the brakes and whether I need one or both sets replaced. I was contacted by phone after the inspection and was provided a few options, taking into consideration the cost and how long I might safely go with only a half measure. Once I authorized the repairs, the work was completed the same day. Actual billed costs were right in line with the estimates. Very responsive and informative both on phone and in person. Based on my personal experience, I would highly recommend to others. read more

Great service , very knowledgeable They even saved me a lot of $ vs the dealer, in some cases finding things the dealer missed. read more

Most honest mechanic I have found in the last 55 years of my life. Great work, fast and inexpensive. They also will not repair if not worth it. read more

First day I brought my car in, they ordered the part and told me it would be in that day and so I would be able to take my car home before closing. Later that week, the part finally came in but it was the wrong one. Told me they ordered a new part and would call me when it came in. It has been over 3 weeks since the wrong part came in and I have not heard from them Also the unofficial quote they gave me was under $100 and then on paper they quoted me over $500 so I am not sure what changed... The only part ordered was $8 so the other $500+ was for labor. read more

Pat Leary is the owner of Leary Auto Repair. He is one of the rudest, most defensive people that I've ever encountered. Luckily some of his repairmen are competent,sweet guys that help to offset Pat's bad behavior. As for repair work, suffice it to say that the timing belt in my car destroyed the engine because, for some reason it must not have been checked, even though I had the car serviced by them ever since I bought the car. If you aren't bothered by the owner's complete lack of personality and his bad temper, then go to Leary Auto. As for me, I will never return. read more

Amazing service and excellent prices. I have three cars and have had the opportunity to take them there for a variety of services. Always given good technical information and actually saved a lot of many rather than going to Toyota dealership. Also very proactive in recommending necessary "upcoming" issues: You need new brakes, etc. Verified that it was necessary and got the job done in record time with excellent customer service. They even dropped off my car back to my house. How could I ask for more. Highly recommended read more

Honest mechanic who saved us thousands by finding a crack/leak from Timing belt casing in our minivan and telling us that should (and is) still under the warranty. We took the minivan back to the dealership. Initially on the phone, the advisor in the dealership didn't believe the diagnosis. But it WAS the issue. It took the dealership couple weeks to have it fixed since they need to take out the whole engine to make the repair. I cannot thank Pat enough for being so honest with us. He earned himself a loyal customer!!! We will never take our cars to anywhere else. read more

So my truck had a problem with the 4x4 not working and i called Leary Auto Repair. The person who I spoke with over the phone said they are really busy and just to go the shop and drop the truck off. I went to the place.Due to Covid they don't allow people inside(totally understandable) and there is a phone number on the front door, which I called and the office person answered the phone and she was very brief as well- " just drop off the keys at the box", nothing else. She also seemed kind in a hurry and wanted to keep things as brief as possible. I thought to myself, this guys are really busy. When I was about to drop off the keys a guy who seemed to work there said: "I'll take this from you." The guy was obviously working there and he also didn't said too much and then I left. I am like, this people are either very easy to work with or I should expect surprises. Unfortunately it was the later. At about 4:30pm they call me from the office and tell me the repair will cost about 1200$. After thinking for few minutes(I told them that I have to think about and then I called them back) I decided that I am not gonna spend that amount at this moment. Then they tell me that I have to pay for diagnostics 247$. And this is where the problem begins - I spoke with three different people from this company before I left my truck there and nobody told me that this will cost me a minimum of 247$, nobody. They actually told me that this is their standard price for diagnostics, its kind of "on the menu". So when I dropped my truck there they knew how much it was going to cost me and I didn't. I bet one can tell the difference. They were also trying to convince me that that's how all auto repairs are working. If they are doing this for something that minor one can only imagine what other practices they have there. read more

My family has been using Pat Leary's auto like forever. We are very satisfied with their professionalism, diagnosis skills and their advice. Me and my Toyotas are very happy. Carlislian folks read more

I brought in both my cars for much needed service. All the items I had identified were fixed at a very fair price. The best experience I've had at a repair shop in a while...all in the midst of a pandemic. read more

What a great, honest auto repair place. I received a recommendation about this place from a coworker who knows cars and said I couldn't go wrong there. He was right, Leary's was able to fit me in the same day I called (for a tire mount and balance). Everyone there was very friendly and professional. The mechanic who worked on my car was quick and efficient, the whole thing only took 30 minutes max. Probably another good sign about this place - while I was waiting, a state trooper came in to pick up his privately owned vehicle, you know they're not going to go somewhere dishonest. Thanks Leary's - I'll definitely be back. read more

They took my car on short notice even when they said they were going to be shorthanded and might not get it completed in one day. They finished it in the same day and were $400 cheaper than another estimate I had gotten somewhere else.

Not often do you get such an experience with an auto shop, honest just isn't enough, great service, would not go anywhere else ever again..

I brought my winter car here recently for maintenance and to diagnose an issue with noise coming from the rear. This place comes highly recommended not just through online reviews but also from people I know at work and in my neighborhood so they are very highly regarded in the Bedford area. They're honest and they do good work as they fixed my car and recommended some other things I should do in order to keep it on the road longer. They also keep a very clean and organized garage which was very impressive to see. The only thing I was a little surprised by was their part costs. They charge full dealer retail price for the replacement part I needed to fix my car's issue. For an older car like mine from 2004, I would have appreciated them trying to source a less expensive OEM-equivalent part, which I was quickly able to find by looking at places like Autozone and Advance Auto Parts. In fairness they did call me before doing the work with an estimate and I did give them the go ahead to do the work, so I could have declined, but it wasn't until after I got my receipt that I saw the the majority of the cost of the repair was the part. That said, I would recommend this place for maintenance because of the convenience and their good customer service. read more

Been using them for 3 years, honest, quick, and the cleanest shop i have ever seen. BBB member as well.

I took a used car here for a pre-purchase check. The car was only 6 months old. I spoke with Pat on the phone and though he was really busy he took the time to answer my questions and even told me that I didn't really need the check for a car with 450miles on it. I wanted the peace of mind so I took the car there without an appointment and the team was nice enough enough to take a look even though they looked super busy. Bob took it up on the lift and did a look over, drove it around etc. The entire experience was quick and pleasant. I paid $30 and walked away at peace. I highly recommend this place. Even though I live in Cambridge, I will be going to this place for auto-related issues! Thanks Pat and Bob! read more
