So far another good experience.

I do NOT recommend this place. I was a few weeks out from making multiple long drives and wanted to…read moreensure my car was in top shape. I had been hearing a rattling in the front of the car and also wanted my brakes looked at. I was given an appointment and brought my car in. Someone took my car for a drive, came back, and he said to me "your brakes are fine, I don't know what you think you're hearing. Bring it back if it gets worse." They didn't actually even LOOK at the brakes like I had requested. I was still concerned about my car and knew there was something wrong, and brought it to a different shop. This place actually looked at the car as well as drove it and found that needed all new front brakes, calipers, and struts. Well over $1000 worth of work. I'm glad I was able to give that place my money with their efforts and thoroughness. I will never bring my car to Smooth Automotive again.

I went again asking about the check engine light issue which occurred due to the replacement…read morewithout authorization. He insist that the aftermarket part should not throw check engine light code, but the Subaru dealer and one more garage confirmed its the aftermarket part as I have also change the O2 sensor. I am not sure on what to do as this guy charge me $1000 and the original part will cost around $3K. This place is a scam and I will ask everyone to look at other places. Authorization: I have never received written quote or list of repair to do for authorization (just a call). During our call, Catalytic converter was never mentioned once but I cannot prove it until I can get the call record from the mobile service. Parts: Yes, you gave me the choice to replace the first installed aftermarket part with original part after our first confrontation. However, I repeatedly asked you if the check engine light is due to aftermarket parts and you replied "No". That's the reason I brought my friend for witness. Please go ahead and take necessary actions. I was okay with paying $1000 for the work if the problem was solved but it is persistent. As a veteran business owner and mechanic, you should have asked if I wanted to use aftermarket parts or original in the first place. Also, you should know that the newer car can give CEL with aftermarket part and suggest accordingly.

They could have charged me a lot, I didn't know what exactly was wrong, but the bill was in two figures. I fully trust them. I've been bringing my current car there for almost a decade, and it was a full nine years before they told me I needed anything other than routine changes. They've also always had my car back the same day - the shop is busy but clearly well-organized.

Both times I've gone, they've been up front about the cost and time it will take. They've also been patient with my questions, so I haven't felt self conscious about my beginner knowledge on cars. There's something else wrong that I need to go back to another place to get fixed under warranty, but I knew I'd have a hard time explaining it myself. They assured me that they already planned to write a detailed description that I could bring with me. As someone who works M-F 8-5, I also appreciate that they're open on Saturday. Thank you to the team at Eli's!

I brought my car in because my headlight was going out intermittently…read more Eli's misdiagnosed it as connector issue, so I brought it back in and they just replaced the bulb again even though this was not the issue. After checking under the hood of my car myself, I noticed that the covers to the fuse box, front harness connector, and opposite headlight (not the one with an issue) were missing. I went back to the shop and they said they did not have anything there anymore even though they were with the car when I had dropped it off. I will be reporting this negligent behavior to the MA Office of Consumer Affairs and Attorney General. Stay away if you would like to have professionals work on your car.
