Flew in. Had car troubles and these guys took us in even though they were busy and helped us out.

Went in with an unknown engine problem, and was given very fair and honest treatment. My car would have needed an entirely new engine, and it wouldn't have been worth it. The staff were kind and supportive, and declined to charge me for the work, which they didn't have to do. read more

I knew Mark for probably 25 - 30 years he was my mechanic and a close friend I can't remember having to bring my truck back for something he messed up could once or twice but he was honest guy and took care of it . When he passed i lost a good friend ora who took over is a straight up guy and I have no quams about staying M & S Auto youd be smart to use them for your mechanical needs Alex read more

We have brought both vehicles to Ora these last two years. NEVER have we experienced better and honest service anywhere else in the past! Ora and his team are truly some of the good guys in this business. read more

Honest reliable workshop with reasonable price services. Winter tire changeover was within an hour and half, just right to enjoy lunch special at nearby restaurants. Ora was friendly, helpful and gave good tips on use of winter vs all season tires. Will come back again for other work and maintenance. read more

As a female who knows very little about cars, I had my reservations about brining my car into another mechanic shop. After talking to the staff & front desk manager, I was truly impressed with their complete & genuine care regarding my major concerns & the costs associated with it. The manager was completly transparent about price points, affordable options, and did an excellent job in reassuring me their core values against up-selling on materials & maintenance that did not require immediate auto repair. I was booked within that week (they happily accommodated to my hectic work schedule). And also provided with their personal work warranty - including additional warranties on the parts (tires & break pads). I am beyond impressed with their pleassnt customer service, quick turnaround, and trustworthy guidance. This place is the real deal! read more

My car had some trouble and because I'm new to the area I chose this place based on reviews from others. These guys are absolutely wonderful. He took my worries and performed his own diagnosis with that in mind. Turns out my assessment was incorrect and he explained to me in detail exactly what was wrong, what could be done about it, and what was actually worth doing. My particular problem ended up being a body issue instead of a mechanical issue. He called in a friend of his who worked at a body shop for a second opinion just to be sure he was giving me accurate information. In the end he did not put any parts on and gave me an idea of what to expect and how to move forward with the car. Very professional and extremely detailed explanations. One of the best experiences with a mechanic I've ever had. If you want an honest mechanic who isn't trying to milk you for everything he can, then this shop is for you. Will definitely be recommending this to others as well as keeping it as my primary shop for any future concerns/needs. read more

This business is not what it once was. Since Mark M the owner since 1988 passed away.Now service is fair at best.Nobody seems to know whats going on. Very disorganized.Had to call them several times to get any information.I didn't feel comfortable letting them work on my car. So I was left with no other choice but to go somewhere else. Sorry to say I wouldn't recommend. read more

Decent price, knowledgeable staff. My go to folks for reliable and affordable car maintenance/repairs.

My regular repair shop was backlogged and I had a exhaust break. Went to M&S and thanking my repair shop for making me wait :) My old repair shop is good, but M&S is best. read more

M&S were extremely helpful, car had broken down and they helped us by looking at it with exactly no notice. Reasonable price and allowed us to wait in their office while giving us the necessary fix for a ride home. Highly recommend. read more

They were very helpful and did everything they could to fix my car since I had to go back to Michigan. Really good customer service.

Something very special about meeting a local business owner with integrity. Mark & Co. are great!

My car Came in do the service and did great inspection and service of my car. Oil lead after one month because the screw is getting old. Mark replace the new screw and put in the new oil for free. Thank you taking care my car. read more

Took the time to understand the problem with the exhaust on my truck. Found a good and inexpensive solution and it was done in a few hours.

These guys are the best!! I sent my husband to them with my highlander because every time I take it somewhere they try to take advantage of me because I'm a woman. But these guys educated both me and my man. They were speedy, very very communicative. Very honest. They didn't try to pull some BS , they were straight forward and most importantly, they were able to work with our budget and right now with 2 kids and heavy inflation; it means the world to us. we have been to Toyota dealership SEVERAL times a month; yet, they NEVER told us what was really going on. But M&S did !! Jason and Keith did a great job... I can definitely recommend them and honestly I chose them because of the reviews and the reviews were ALL accurate. so here's MY review now, YOU GUYS ARE MY NEW GO TO !! Thank you so much for saving my car. read more

I have found my new repair shop! These guys are great! They helped me on a moment's notice when my car completely died one morning. Turns out, some little critter crawled up in to the nice, warm engine compartment and had a feast on some wires. Thankfully, this ends up being a relatively easy repair. Mark and the guys at M&S were honest, kept me informed throughout, and were so friendly. The next time something goes wrong with my car (because you know it will), they will be my first and only call. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

Fixed my oil leaks for a decent price. He squeezed me in his schedule when he didn't have a ton of time.

Thank you M&S Auto Repair! I got my AC compressor fixed and the mechanic Danny was so helpful and kind. He explained all the parts and how they work. I will definitely be back. I found the shop on yelp and am so glad I was able to get serviced. The prices here are a lot more reasonable than some shops in the area and the service is excellent! read more

These guys are my heroes! I'm used to car shops that try to intimidate me, but these guys were nice and straightforward - they listened to what was wrong, and figured it out, and fixed it the same day for a very fair price. My car was basically undrivable before, they basically worked wonders on my brakes. read more

Mark is the best! Needed brakes done and exhaust work. Sears wanted to charge me an outrageous amount and Mark beat it by charging me 1/3 of what Sears wanted. He knows his stuff and a he's a great guy! read more

I recently moved to the area and wasn't sure who to go to but I'm so glad I chose M&S! They fixed everything I needed done all in the same day and followed up the following day by text to make sure I was happy with everything! I will definitely be going back! read more

One fine morning, I started my car, drove it a few feet , and let it warm up. Five minutes later, it died. No matter how many times I tried, the engine would not come on. I am new in Woburn and haven't had a need for a mechanic yet. But my boyfriend saw this place behind Dunkin Donuts. We drove over in his car and he talked to Mark, the mechanic. He was very helpful and suggested we do a few things to see what was wrong. Ultimately, they didn't work and I had the car towed to M & S the next morning. Mark was very thorough in diagnosing the problem and even cleaned up my corroded battery connection as a courtesy. He took the time to explain what happened, and earnestly wanted me to understand my cars problem. When I thanked him, he told me an educated customer is a repeat one! And I for one, will be returning. read more

It is about time to rave about this wonderful, honest and super professional mechanic named Mark from M & S auto repair. I have been a customer of his for the last 6 years. I have been ripped off in the past by other mechanics until I have found Mark, and I will never go anywhere else. The service here is superior as far as prices, quality of service, and honesty goes. I would recommend their service to anyone without hesitation. Thanks for everything Mark. read more

The mechanic first did the diagnostics, ordered the part from dealership, but refused to show me the receipt or price. He later admitted he marked up the price 60% in addition to $96/H labor charge. He later lowered the price a little bit, but I still feel ripped off. After the repair, the car shakes but it did not happen before. The mechanic took it for a drive and it settled a little. He should have taken it for a drive before giving the car to me. I did repair work in other shops and they would show me the price from supplier on computer first and the receipt when the part arrives. I could have done the same work at Toyota dealership and pay lower price on the part. Why do it here and pay more? The labor cost is already pretty high, adding another 60% to part price is ridiculous. This is a small shop and not many customers. The owner was on vacation. I doubt the mechanic has much experience. It is my first visit at M&S Auto Repair and will not go back again. I don't recommend it. read more

Good, thorough work, did test drive multiple times to check each stage of repair. Took me in 2 days before Christmas and had me fixed right away. Very nice, real people. Will be going back ! read more

I want to thank you for the excellent service you gave to me. I was in a bind trying to get my 2 handicapped brothers from Mass to Ca. for my daughters wedding. I needing wiring done for a trailer we needed to tow. They took my vehicle in and got right to work on it. Thanks to you two, I made it with my brothers to my baby girls wedding. The workmanship was clean and fast. I highly recommend M & S Auto Repair. Thank you again for going the extra mile for me. read more

I brought my 2011 Chevy Avalanche in with a ton of miles on it (over 125k) and it was running pretty rough. There was nothing particular wrong with it, just things when stopping and also gearing back up. This made it harder to diagnose. I thought it was the tranny but I did not know for sure. Well I brought it to Mark and his team for service. It is now running great. Well priced, and you can tell the quality of the work. He also kept me up to date on everything and was well timed too. Overall, one of the best experiences I have had with Car Repair. I will not go to any one else even for an oil change. Thanks Mark! read more

Excellent experience at M&S. Very skilled and trustworthy mechanic. Highly recommended!

You won't go wrong taking your car to Mark at M & S Auto because he is an excellent mechanic with great customer service and total honesty. I've been taking my truck there for nearly a decade now, and every time it's the same: great customer service, the truth about the problems, excellent recommendations and fast accurate repairs. This is a good story, several years back, I took my old truck in and it had so many issues, rust everywhere, literally shock absorbers punching through rusted out mounting brackets, you get the idea. Mark had repaired similar issues on that truck for me before, but this time he said that although he could fix it all and would be happy to, I should consider getting another truck because the cost of repairs was exceeding the value of the old truck and it was just going to have more issues down the road. That was amazing, he could've gouged me with repairs on that old rust bucket, but instead he offered that he could fix it or that I could take the thousands it would've cost and put that towards another vehicle. In the end, it saved me tons of money and worry to just get another truck, one which I still bring back to M & S Auto when it needs maintenance. Bottom line, Mark is an excellent, honest mechanic who's shop does high quality work for the right price and your car will be in good hands. read more

After moving here from Philly in 2001, I was at a loss for a mech- anic. Turned out that all 3 of my roommates have used M&S services and all were pleased with the results n prices. I was a very avid reader of Consumer Checkbook when I was living in Bowie, MD. If Mark was there at the time it was written up, he would have ranked at or near the top. My Dad was a mechanic, ('pop n 2 Uncles, too) n I have fooled around with some engines so, it can be fairly stated that I could evaluate Mark's skills and prices. First and foremost, he is always upfront n candid. He even ad- mitted that he would have preferred to overhaul a Toyota than a Jeep, even though he could do both just as well (one explanation is that he emigrated here from Lebanon n it is all Toyotas out there.) Being deaf myself, he actually takes all his time writing down explanations n what nots on my sick horse, using emails, drawing diagrams, even tho neither of us are close to Picasso. Recently, my daughter was in town to visit with me with her 2 lovely kids n aging yellow Lab. (I am struggling with cancer for 4 years now, so EllaMarie tries her best to come, visit, stay, etc. God bless her, as well as my two other kids). Prior to her arrival from Takoma Park, MD, there was a charging problem with her car and the mechanics replaced the alternator; worked for a while but it stall- ed on her on I-95 N (Winter St) during rush hour on a late Thurs- day noon. All day Friday, Mark and his co-workers went back and forth, trying to diagnose; he even has a HS kid whose ambition was to become a mechanic. He got the job with Mark simply by walking into his garage one day, unannounced and adamantly declared that he wants to work! Not only is the kid industrious and beating the street with gumshoes, but Mark has a grandfath- er heart in him n hired him forthwith. I am quite positive that his kid will not find a better teacher. Because the WhizKids could not locate the problem, EM was not charged a dollar! Really! Tru-biz...! (A few months earlier, I had my '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee taken in for assessment. I had it for 8 years and was just a few steps from 200,000. Mark and I did all the work. I decided that I do not want to keep the Jeep on the basis of costs vs benefits. Mark asked me what I wanted to do with it and I said something like Salvation Army. Then, Mark turned around and pointed his finger at the young, quiet and lanky kid, not only as a learning tool, but he only had a bicycle as a means of transportation. Kid lives in Wakefield or something. This chain of events work all around and I get a warm feeling that this is not JUST a business but also a place where you can hang around, share stories and become friends. And, best of all, you get the feeling that you are actually helping someone. Anyway, their only suspected culprit was a computer module, which would have cost around 2,000. Even after the module is installed, you still have to get someone from Ford to come and do the settings, calibration, etc. My daughter was getting a bit anxious as she needs to leave Sunday for MD and does not have that kind of disposable cash. On Saturday, Mark showed up for work which he sometimes does if the weather is not ideal for golfing! [No, he does not go to the nearest car with a wood club like Erin.] He usually closes at noon but NOT on this day. He decided to take a plunge; he explained to EM that the next option would be that the car, a Ford Explorer, be given a new alternator on the presumption that the earlier new alternator is defective. With a little bit of anxiety, she packed the car, drove straight to Philly (where my parent/aunt/and others live,) spent the night and arrived home all nice safe and warm in Takoma Park. Mark reminds me of my Dad in many ways. If he finds a way to fix a problem cheaper, he will explain it to you and let you decide. As prices go, he is neither cheap nor one of the cheapest. But, he is also not too expensive. He somehow had struck a right balance. He is a mechanic who actually earned every dollar for his work and you can be sure the quality of his work cannot be beaten for miles around, at least, not at that price. I had a roommate from Amesbury who needed a new timing chain/belt and one of the gear drives. He opted to take the car to another mechanic (cuz his Dad told him that Mark costs too much) who quoted $200 cheaper. Two weeks later, this friend actually ended up returning his car, not only for shoddy repairs reasons but also because that mechanic did not tell him about possible additional parts that usually happens with timing chain, forking over $600 MORE! Ahh, I will close by saying that Mark is the first guy I will go to, for the foreseeable future. Thanks for lending your ping ping, hissssing, binding, whistling, knocking, clutch chattering, vibrating ears. If you haven't tried M&S, give Mark a chance. You will be pleased. James M.

Mark did a great job explaining the issue with my car. Very straight forward on the work needed to be completed and didn't try to add on unnecessary work. I will be a returning customer, although hopefully not any time soon (who really wants car repairs??) read more

I had a bothersome noise in my car that other garage's couldn't fix. M&S fixed it and explained to me exactly what the problem was. Great service! read more

M&S Auto has been servicing our cars for many years. Mark is a man of character and great expertise. He tells it honestly and always in the best interest of his customers. With so many questionable auto repair shops out there you can save yourself a lot of headaches and go with a reputable auto repair shop. That auto repair shop is M&S Auto Repair. read more

Took my truck here last minute. I work in the north shore but live in the south shore. They were able to fix my truck in no time and avoided me having to tow it back to the south shore. Amazing price and they were honest. Can't beat that in the automotive world. Mark the owner and his mechanics are great. Highly recommend this place read more

I would not trust my car with anyone else! The price is great but the workmanship is better. They are very direct, thorough, and explain the repairs needed and why. My family and friends bring their cars here as well. I have a foreign car and a domestic and they fix both with no problem. I never have to call to find out what is going on and I can drop my car at a moments notice and they repair it same day. Everyone I have recommended to Mark has thanked me- not one complaint! read more

We have been customers of M&S for the past year and a half, and have been very impressed. You are always afraid when you bring your car to a mechanic that you can't trust them. We have felt comfortable with M&S from the start and only go here whenever our car gives us problems. We recently moved 30 min away from M&S and STILL bring our cars down to be fixed by them. GREAT service by GREAT people. read more

I have gone to him for oil changes, for which he has done a good job. But, if you have one of those Auto saver coupons from him, please DO NOT go to him. He always shows sarcasm and refers to these coupons as freebies and complains that we are paying very little for the service. If you can put up with that please do go to him. read more
