The benefit is that while you wait they have cable tv in the waiting area with a decent amount of seating and there are many stores within walking distance to help the time go by.

Made a quick phone call and he promised to stay open late for us (was closing at 5) and he fixed our problem in an out in 5 minutes. We asked for just a temporary repair until we could get home to Boston but Eric did the full repair job in the same time I'd expect a temporary fix. He explained the issue, what he was doing, and even showed us that he has the specialty part of every make of car. Couldn't have asked for better, speedier, affordable care with such short notice. Thanks a million! He saved our day. Wish we lived closer so he could be our regular car guy!

We…read moredon't trust anyone else...especially with those hard to diagnose issues/problems that occur from time to time with any vehicle. Eric is essentially a one man shop...he checks you in, does all the work himself, and checks you out. You know the old saying...you get what you pay for and you will always get quality work at Johnson Automotive. He will explain what is wrong and walk you through everything. I moved away for a few years and it took me a while to find a mechanic even half as good. I absolutely hate going to the dealer and having a "service specialist" check me in who has no clue about cars other than upselling unneeded fluid flushes and 30/60/90/120k mile "tune ups" and never getting to speak with the actual mechanic. Do not let dealers scare you...Eric Johnson (and other independent shops for that matter) can fix and repair ANY MAKE AND MODEL car...and with a lot less hassle and money than the dealer. Thanks for keeping our cars running so well over the years Eric!

A belated but pertinent and VERY positive review, and shout out, to Joe's Auto & (more…read morespecifically) Towing, to both the woman who answered my emergency call and to Andrew, the fella who saved the day, and evening, for me. On 11/7/20, I played 18 up at Butter Brook Golf Course in Carlisle. After finishing, I spent a few minutes talking to my Lexington-bound before he hit the road. It was near sunset at that point. As I walked toward my car a departing female employee walking toward hers asked if I owned the white 1998 Volvo up ahead. At that point, there were only three other cars in the lot--hers, another, and my Volvo. I nodded, and she said, "You're tire exploded!" I'm, like, huh? But, as I get nearer to my car, there it is--a flat right front tire. "Yeah," she added. "It just popped! We all heard it." Knowing I had a fully-inflated spare in the trunk, I told her I'd be on the road in less than five minutes. By the time she pulls out, I'm the only one left in the lot. I instantly discover that the single-socket 12" long lug nut wrench supplied by Volvo was ridiculously ineffective and despite heroic efforts I couldn't budge one wheel stud. Not. One. I had no leverage. I tried so hard I bent the damn wrench handle! So then I'm thinking, because I DO live in Dorchester and I DON'T know ANYONE in the Carlisle area, I'm...dead in the water. I make two quick phone calls to the nearest auto repair places, one has no tow truck, the other cannot help--no driver that day. I expand my search and dial up Joe's. A very pleasant and busy but patient woman answers and advises that their one tow person has "like ten calls going right now." I provide my phone #, my location and add that all I need is a one-minute pit stop: loosen five lug nuts. The woman says, "I'll see what I can do." Two minutes later my cell phone rings and it's Joe's tow truck driver, Andrew, an amiable kid who listens to my quick story and decides, on the spot, while driving to his next destination, "I'll be there in ten, you're in between where I am now and my next stop." Ten minutes later, Andrew wheels into BB-GC's parking lot just as the sun begins to set. Knowing what's needed, he hops out of tow truck, grabs the pneumatic air pump, and hits the studs. Then he wheels over a portable hydraulic lift, jacks me up and leaves me to handle putting on the spare while he writes up the bill. He replaces his pump and jack, hands me the receipt, agrees that Volvo's worthless lug nut wrench might come in handy as a paperweight, accepts my $20 tip, and zips out of the lot toward his next emergency. 1. The woman could've told me, "We're too busy." And hung up. 2. Andrew could've just blown me off, and never called. Both refreshed my belief in and of "paying it forward." My Dad was a mechanic. He taught me how to do the simple repairs that keep cars on the road. Over the years, I've probably pulled off road and helped at least a dozen or so people who were stranded on roadsides, either changing their flats or giving them a jump or, at the very least, getting them to where they were going to be okay. What comes around, goes around, folks. Do the right thing. It'll come back to you, and it'll go forward. My thanks to Andrew, and the kind woman who answered my call. It is no surprise that the majority of Joe's reviews are positive. Happy Holidays!!!

They didn't even pull it into the garage and charged me $74 to tell me I needed a new Starter Motor. Which was already known. So here's the full story-- Called early morning Wednesday (7:09am), The mechanic that answered looked at the schedule and said he could take a look and to bring it in. It was towed and dropped off at 7:50am. They couldn't get to it (I'm a single mom so had to rent a car to pick up my son from school) They called me the following day Thursday at 12:40pm, telling me they didn't pull it into the garage or run a full diagnostic as I requested, but instead they tried starting it up and that the Starter Motor needs to be replaced. (We figured that much) -- Noticing I will need an oil change soon they added that in, for a total of $880.00 for the repair. I asked for the price without the oil change and she said $728. NEARLY $160 for an oil change is absurd. When I asked about the diagnostic and why I was being charged for a diagnostic when they didnt even give me any information we didnt already know, and they didnt run a full diagnostic, I was faced with an attitude and told "we could have charged you $140 for an hour of diagnostics, but we only charged you for a half-hour". I'm sorry does pushing the start button on a vehicle take 30 minutes? As someone that lives a block away and this is the most convenient place, I STILL wouldn't go back.
