I'm updating my review to reflect the full experience with Pete's Garage. My car was towed in for a stuck gear shift. After nearly a week before it was inspected, my mom--who was in contact with Scott throughout--was told the shifter cable was BROKEN and quoted $600 for the repair, plus about $200 for the new part, taxes, an oil change, and other related expenses, bringing the total estimate to around $800. At no point was debris mentioned. We got a second opinion at a garage on High Street in Danvers. They inspected the car the next day and said they performed a thorough assessment. They found nothing wrong with the shifter cable. Instead, they found a large walnut lodged against the cable, along with other debris, preventing it from shifting. After cleaning it out and completing the oil change, the car worked perfectly. Total cost: $50. AFTER this review was posted, Eric contacted us and said the shifter cable had come out of position and might eventually break--information that was NOT shared during the original diagnosis or almost week of communication my mom had with Scott. Being quoted close to $800 for a repair that ultimately wasn't necessary, and only receiving a fuller explanation AFTER speaking out publicly, raises serious concerns for us about the thoroughness and reliability of the initial assessment read more

Eric is very friendly and seems to be quite knowledgeable. The two people who answer the phone, Scott and a lady whose name I didn't quite catch, are atrociously unfriendly and condescending. read more

I had a concern about a serpentine belt. Although they were booked solid for 20 days, they offered to take a look at it to determine if there was an urgent need to fit me in. My car is a Land Rover and I was pleased to know the shop has a mechanic who had worked at the dealership. read more

My wife and I have been going to Pete's Garage for years, and now they've got us as customers for life. After buying a Hyundai Tuscon from Kelly Honda on the Lynnway less than 3 weeks ago, Eric told us that they found an oil leak and epoxy all over the transmission cover holding it in place. Kelly Honda, of course, had "no idea how this happened." Eric and the crew are honest and knowledgeable. They aren't out to screw people, they are here to provide a valuable service to Danvers and the surrounding communities. A++++ work! read more

This will be my second time bringing my Mazda 3 to Pete's Garage and I couldn't be happier and more confident with their service.

I highly recommend this garage! read more

The folx at Pete's garage were so flexible and helpful when I came in just 20 minutes before closing. They diagnosed my check engine light, but even more than that, they noticed my blinker light was out. Not only did they replace the bulb, but they screwed together a hairline crack in the blinker holder. They barely even charged me for the bulb. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I was in town for college tours a few weeks ago and my car started making an alarming noise that o knew I had to get checked out before driving several hours back home. It's always a little unnerving picking a place at random, but after reading reviews I landed on Pete's. They gentlemen there took a thorough look and found a heat guard rubbing on something in the wheel well, they removed it and $20 we were on our way. Good to know there's still decent people in the world. Thanks Pete's! read more

I was referred to Pete's Garage by a friend. First time I went there they were very informative about what was wrong with my car and gave me quote. When I picked up the car the bill was right on the money just like they quoted me. Very satisfied. The guys were very nice, the shop was clean. The other thing I appreciated was that they checked over the rest of the car for free and gave me a to do list of recommended maintenance and services needed with no pressure to do them now. They were looking out for my family's safety Thanks again read more
