We brought our vehicle to People's Auto for a couple issues before taking a long road trip, one of…read morewhich was a spongy brake pedal. The mechanics bled the brake system, and it felt somewhat better, so we assumed the issue was fixed and went on our way. This vehicle was new to us at the time, so we weren't sure what the brakes should normally feel like. During the trip we noticed pulsating when braking, so when we got home we brought it to another local shop closer to our home to change the pads and rotors. We were then informed that the rotors needed to be changed as expected, and also that our caloper bolts were loose and that some washers were missing, to the point where brake fluid was squirting out all over 1 of the wheels. This definitely should have been caught by People's Auto when they were diagnosing the issue of the spongy brake pedal. Since they did not fix the issue the money we paid them was a waste, and we had to pay another shop to fix the same issue. Due to their location it was not convenient for us to return to People's Auto to try to have them resolve the issue, but even if we did the wait time for our initial appointment was 2 weeks.

I was at wits and wallets end when I came accross People's Auto…read more The 1999 Jetta I bought in college has had some problems over the years. The worst of it was when I first got the car. At one point it would randomly turn off, and not turn back on for a couple of minutes. Sometimes it just wouldn't start. The engine started to become shakey and hesitant. I tried a variety of shops; some would get it running for a little while, but the problems would return. They all charged a lot, and did very little. After the VW dealer wanted hundreds just for the parts to replace my oil tray (not including oil, oil change, labor or 'glue') I started really digging in to find speciality VW shops. Arriving at People's auto, I was skeptic to say the least. The garage is in the woods (fairly inconvenient) and may lack 'curb appeal'. My hesitation flew out the window when I started to describe some of my problems. "Oh, I know exactly waht that is" was the response (as opposed to the blank stares I had been growing used to in mechanics) turns out, it was just an adjustment to my 02 sensor, and new spark plugs. He replaced the oil tray, gave me a tune up and a once over, all for less than buying the tray at the VW dealership. I picked up the car the next day, and it was running better than the day I bought it. I went to people's auto for the better part of a year every time my car had a slight problem, or needed an oil change (after going there, my car had very few problems... excpet the ones that were clearly my fault). They guys are funny, friendly, fair and most importantly they know what they're doing. While I'm happy at Luis Lein's in somerville... I still day dream about dropping off my car at People's Auto, knowing it would get a once over to prevent future problems. I thought about knocking off a star for the location. I almost got killed by a speeding truck the last time I was there... but honestly, if this place operated at their prices any closer to hartford, I never would have been able to get an appointment.

Pages Automotive just replaced my 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L eigne because of a cracked block…read more Pages Automotive diagnosed a defect in the Ford EcoBoost engine that Ford dealers will not tell you about. Ford refuses to do a recall on these defective EcoBoost engines. The team at Pages was very informative and showed a great deal of technical knowledge. Replaced engine quickly with no problems. My 2017 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine experience a cracked engine block, leading to coolant leaks, overheating, and engine misfires. This issue is tied to a known defect in the engine's design, where the block's sealing surface warps due to high heat from the turbocharger, allowing coolant to leak into the cylinder. The Ford dealers are not going to tell you this, and I put my faith in Pages as they diagnosed and replace the engine quickly and perfectly. Back on the road! If you have a Ford EcoBoost engine that is failing, call Pages Automotive.

We've been using Franc Motors for just about all our vehicle maintenance needs or issues (unless…read moreit's a newer vehicle that's under warranty, then it goes to the dealer) for just about 17 years and have absolutely no issues with integrity, trust, or cost. Everyone from the owner, to the mechanics, to the office staff have been nothing but helpful, kind, and courteous. They are ALWAYS able to squeeze us in if we have an emergency-type of issue with one of our vehicles. They explain everything in detail (from the work that they are going to perform, to the work that may need to be done, right down to the detailed cost). On the rare occasion that they fix something, and needs to be reworked for whatever reason, they, once again, are more than willing to correct it without question. I don't know what took me this long to write a review for Franc Motors! Our family highly recommends them.
