    I had no intention of writing a 'review' tonight, I stumbled upon this Yelp page looking for…read moresomething else and read the review below from "Chris H". Reviews like this happen when guys don't know anything about cars but they think they do. "Scott has a propensity to REPLACE things vs. FIX them". Son, please. When your brakes are gone what would you have him do - chip off the old pads and super glue on new ones? No one turns rotors anymore, they're disposable. If you had done your pads when they started to squeak you wouldn't need rotors, and if you hadn't waited until the vehicle was shaking to a stop you wouldn't need the calipers either. And how does one "fix" suspension? Shocks, struts wear out and they get replaced, they're not serviceable. Then the whining about a clutch issue, seriously? You DO KNOW Scott was the Clutch Mechanic for the AA pro alcohol funny car team "Follow A Dream" right? You think that guy is going to be stumped by a Nissan truck clutch? Are you serious? My female advice, learn how to drive a clutch. And 'no' I haven't discussed this 'client' with Scott either, I don't have to, I can read.... JEEZ! I've known Scott forever, seriously, I'm old. He's my mech for my daily driver, a 17 year old Acadia and for my pride and joy, a major show winning 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood. Scott's attention to detail with the cars is PAINFUL. He's as OCD as I am, the cars are FIXED when they leave there, they never go back for the same issue twice. His attention to "old school" with the Caddy is Godly. We discuss issues, repairs, parts, he lets me source my own because I'm as nuts about parts as he is, and he always finds parts for that Caddy I can't find anywhere, don't ask me how. The shop is BUSY. You can't just show up and think they'll drop everything in most instances, other customers are waiting too. Try "dropping" by your doctor's office without an appointment and get back to me. His mom Terry, the office manager, is a SAINT. She has to put up with people like "Chris H". She just smiles, keeps everyone happy and keeps the shop on time. I'd be an axe murderer in her job... I highly recommend Station Ave Sunoco for repairs. And he's selling some very decent used cars for very affordable prices too.

    I'm writing this review as a PSA to people in this community to avoid this auto repair shop…read more Scott likes to think that he's a running a big name dealership, and that he's in the professional services business for billable time. He's also dishonest, does poor quality work, will not warranty the jobs that he does, and will not work with his customers to find reasonable resolutions to their problems and concerns. I have had a 4+ year history of using this shop for my auto repair needs. I have had them do work on my Cadillac and 2 different Nissan pickup trucks. I've spent over $14k over the last 4 years on repair services. Scott has a propensity to REPLACE things vs. FIX them. When my truck needed suspension maintenance, I was informed that everything needed to be replaced - all shocks and struts and related components. $2200 When my brakes needed service, instead of fixing them, I was told that all of my entire brake system including calipers, rotors, pads, etc. had to be replaced. $2800. When my pickup truck clutch started to fail, I was told that the entire clutch, pressure plate, master cylinder, etc. needed to be replaced. $3k. This was the turning point in our relationship. You see, the problem with a guy like Scott is that replacing systems is highly profitable work. But when it comes to replacing highly complex mechanical system like a clutch, he's not an experienced mechanic with these areas. But I didn't find that out until later. The truck worked fine for the first month, and progressively got worse. It whined incessantly, and degraded rapidly. After 6 months the clutch had failed completely. It's been like this for the last year. I called repeatedly over the first 6 months, asking for assistance and hoping that he'd take an interest in ensuring my investment was working properly. I even went by their shop several times with the truck hoping that Scott would take a moment to look at the vehicle. Scott's standard reply is to 'make an appointment' and the underlying theme with him is he's happy to take your money but has no time to service his work. Each time I'm told that I'll be paying a fee for the evaluation. I'm not ok with that. Scott is notorious for charging for every appointment. I didn't feel as though I wanted to spend $165 for him to evaluate his own failed work. I don't have time to continually drop off the truck, arrange for transportation and wait several days for a response. Fast forward, and I have to have the truck repaired due to its relationship with my boat. I have the truck looked at by a different shop that was recommended to me. The new shop did the evaluation by putting a scope up in the clutch housing to visually inspect the internals. The new shops says that the clutch was completely destroyed, doesn't look like a year old clutch, and shouldn't have failed after 5k miles (regardless of time). The new shop was reluctant to disparage another local mechanic, but said that to the best of their experience, it didn't look like the internal parts had been replaced, but wouldn't know until it was apart. Minimally it wasn't installed properly, and in the worst case I was outright scammed and the plate and other internals were never replaced. They asked me if I was provided the damaged parts or reviewed those damaged parts when the job was complete. I have never had that opportunity. This new shop also said that any reputable mechanic should stand behind their work, regardless of timeframe. They also told me that I was grossly overcharged for the work by almost 100%. I took the truck back to Scott thinking that he'd be a stand up guy and work something out with me. The guy that I spoke with (not Scott) who took the truck in when I dropped it off was very surprised and seemed genuinely interested in resolving the issue. I waited a week for a reply. Instead of talking to me directly, Scott had his mom deliver the bad news. His mother is Grade A jerk. Might be most unpleasant person on the planet. I was informed by Scott's mother that they were not going to warranty their work, that too much time had passed, that I'd made multiple appointments and no-showed, and that I hadn't informed them of this problem previously. She then quoted me $2700 to fix the same clutch that I just had them repair a year ago. There aren't enough bad things that I can say about this situation, so I'll stop there. The notion that I'm going to pay Scott twice for the same job after the first one failed is ludicrous. I'll pay someone, but it won't be him. As long as you're willing to pay billable time for Scott's services, drop your vehicle off for days, and REPLACE parts and systems, you'll be fine. It goes without saying that this is the end of my business relationship with Station Ave Sunoco. This shop displays terrible business ethics, does poor quality work, and does not stand behind their work. AVOID.

    This place gets a 5 star rating…read more My kid's car broke down on Cape Cod while he was playing a show in Wareham (he's in a band). We live 2-3 hours away (depending on traffic). I had no idea who to call, who to deal with. I wanted a place that could tow AND fix. My son found this place and I called them with the details and they acted immediately. They have two major bonus points I came across... First of all, my son's car had a failed alternator. I had already replaced the alternator in that car three months prior. The garage I used the first time was one I don't normally use, but it was close to where the car broke down that time. The car limped to that garage and it was highly recommended by my bro-in-law. My bill at Access Auto Too was LESS than the one I used closer to my house. This guy had every opportunity to overcharge me because, technically, it was the vehicle of a tourist. Far from home. Easy target. He did not. His bill also included a $75 tow -- which my original bill didn't have. Second of all, the car was being covered by a warranty. They were not aware of this when they wrote out the bill. The alternator was almost new and the parts store the 1st garage bought the part from was covering the cost under warranty. He was being paid directly, I was not reimbursed. Every inch, from tow to labor. He seemed perplexed by the fact that he was being paid directly by them, but ultimately, trusted me. That means he allowed me to take the car off the lot without getting a dime from me, but believing that he would be immediately reimbursed by the parts store within the one hour timeframe. That's some guts. He was wicked personable, a real nice guy. I was impressed that he was closing his shop for an "Employee Appreciation Weekend". He actually takes his employees away to his vacation home. Man, I can't even get my company to pay for a Christmas Party. We get some sad cold cuts in the break room and a brief, weak handshake. I don't know about anyone else, but he seems like the real deal. I give him props.

    Have been using Access for years. Never have questioned their work or pricing. Kept several of our…read more"mature" vehicles running for a long time. Always polite and helpful.
