I was looking at a used car in Methuen. Checked yelp, saw the good reviews for Wayne, called him up. I wanted him to give it a 'once-over'. He said bring it over any time (very short notice, very nice of him). I dropped it off, picked it up an hour later. He had a comprehensive list of items that needed repairing. The price was less than half of what I expected. Overall, I was very impressed and highly recommend read more

New to area and based on previous reviews chose to have an oil change done on my SUV. Job was adequate - but paying almost $73 is expensive compared to other private mechanics/garages. read more

My coolant reservoir was cracked, quote was shocking $580, however i knew it would be expensive and the OEM part was $350 online, so i went for it. The job was completed and i drove the car for a few weeks and then the leak re-appeared. Wayne told me it was a pinhole leak in the new reservoir after he made the repair which took a week. This happened three more times over the next several months. It sucked. Finally on the fifth trip back Wayne told me "he finally just put the OEM part in." I looked it up online, there is a knock-off part, it cost$67. He also put in a used item, he charged me for new. I do not believe i got fair treatment with Wayne. Wayne will try to squeeze you just like he did to me. No more trouble since i did get the Original part in my car, just too bad it took so long to get what i paid for (almost since it was used.) read more

I stopped by this gentleman's garage and asked him a question that had every mechanic stumped, and he knew EXACTLY what it was, by just explaining it to him. I attempted to fix it myself but had no luck. I had it towed there and he not only fixed the problem in an hour (because of how slammed he was with business) but he only charged me $10.00. I asked two other auto shops and one couldn't get to me until the next day and the other charged $99.00 an hour just to find the problem. Wayne was very professional and I got treated with respect and he was honest. I will not only bring my car/s there but I highly recommend his shop. read more

Hands down the Best and most Honest mechanic in Ma. His asst. Luis is a fantastic worker. Prices are great but honesty is key to this place. Will only bring my car here. read more

Wayne's is a great, HONEST, dependable mechanic. His price vs other mechanics/dealer is always better. No nonsense. I was going to my previous mechanic for 14 years. Will be switching to Wayne's Auto moving forward. read more

I had my van dropped off at Wayne's as it broke down over the weekend. This was my first time using them but had read the great reviews on Yelp. By the time I had called on Monday he had already looked at it and had a price ready for me. He was flexible with my schedule and able to look at it the same day. He was upfront and gave the real picture of what was wrong and what needed to be fixed. It should be ready next week and hopefully back to 'new'. read more

I really like Wayn'e auto. The owner is super nice and he takes the time to explain things to you. However, he is so popular and is only a small garage so you may have to wait to get in. That's the only issue and complaint I have though. read more

I brought a used car that I was considering purchasing by Wayne's shop for a look over. Not only did he fit me in with no advanced notice, he caught a sizable rusty hole in the underbody, and charged me less than half of what other places would for an inspection. After purchasing the car, I brought the car back for him to repair the hole and he did a great job for a very low price. Thanks Wayne and Luis! read more

I have been going to Wayne for years. Wayne is by far the best mechanic. I used to drive 45 mins each way because he is the most honest mechanic in MA. If he says a job takes 3 hrs of work it actually took 3 hours of work. There is no b.s. Even when he is busy he still tries to help everyone he can. Can't say enough about the man. read more

Wayne and Louis are fantastic. My car was making weird noises. I brought it in during lunch time and they quickly diagnosed the problem. Once they realized that it was going to take longer than 1 hour to fix it, they generously offered me a ride back to my office. By the time I picked it up, I was afraid that they were going to charge me a lot of money for their work. However, to my pleasant surprise, they are incredibly honest and only charged a very modest fee. Now my car works like a charm. Highly recommend Wayne to anyone. read more

I've been using Wayne to maintain my vehicles and have been very pleased with the service, flexibility with my work schedule, work quality and prices. Nice guys to do business with. read more

I decided to go to Wayne's Auto based on the other positive reviews on Yelp. My car was occasionally making screeching noises upon start up and even had smoke coming out of the steering column. When I brought my car to the Mitsubishi dealership a month earlier, they couldn't identify the problem-- assuming it was a belt issue even though they said the belts looked fine. They couldn't replicate the screeching noises and asked me to leave my car with them a third time to try to see the problem in action. When I brought my car to Wayne's, my car made the screeching noises on the first try. Wayne replaced the melted ignition switch and charged a reasonable labor fee. He seems like a real, honest, hardworking fellow. His assistant, Luis, is great, too. I'll bring my car back to them. The only thing to know in advance is there really isn't much of a waiting area (don't expect a TV, AC, magazines, etc) but I'm happy with the service and like that I can actually talk to the mechanic who fixes my car as opposed to a person behind a sales counter. I like to think that my car "chose" Wayne's because it decided to make the problem noises on that first visit! =) Update: More than 2 months later and my car is still problem-free. No more screeching noises. read more

great experience, wayne performed a number of pre-buy inspections for me on some used cars I was looking at on Craigslist, he was super honest and competent, overall a pleasure to work with. I had him do some small maintenance on the car I ended up buying, got me in and out under in well under an hour and tried to undercharge me for the work but i insisted he charge me a full hour's labor, anywhere else would have charged me multiple hours labor for the work (i had called around for quotes on the work he did). I wish I lived closer to his shop (i'm 45 mins away) but I will probably take the extra time to drive up there anyway read more

Honest and solid at what he does. Staff is also competent and meticulous. When I moved to the area, I needed to find a local mechanic. Glad to have landed on Wayne's garage read more

Wayne is by far and away the best mechanic I've ever encountered. My whole family started going to him for car troubles when we moved up to Methuen and even now that we've moved closer to Boston, we still make the trek up there because he just can't be beat. Super friendly, attentive, obviously knows his stuff, and his pricing is incredibly fair. I would definitely recommend Wayne's Auto. read more

After reading the reviews on Yelp, I wanted to see if Wayne could find the source of a ticking in my drivers' side tire. I just dropped in, and he was able to check it out right then. I was so concerned that something was broken, or it was dangerous to drive ... but after driving my small SUV, he determined that the sound was coming from the wheel skin snapped onto my tire rim was flexing. He removed it, and the sound disappeared. Amazing. This is after I had gone somewhere that removed my tire looking for the problem, but was stumped. Wayne didn't charge me for his time .. and he put my mind at ease. Great guy!! read more

I have been doing business with wayne for over 20 years I have referred well over 50 people over the years . Wayne is a straight shooter honest as the day is long and has saved me and my friends thousands by helping us buy used cars and major and minor repairs. He is always up to date with tools and certifications if he knows he can not fix something for any reason he will tell you and his estimates come very close to the price everytime. I have trusted him with my families safety for many years and he has saved us from bad inspections a number of times . My boys from the teen years all the way to their 30 s had him do all their work. I don't write reviews but Wayne more people need to be like him in this world wish I could give him ten stars. ... read more

Wayne recently fixed my beloved 1998 Chevy Malibu, my first trip ever to him (but not my last!). I bought the car brand new in 1998. It has been rock solid. I gave it to my teenage daughter just over a year ago with 214,000 miles. It has 225,000 miles now. My husband wanted to junk it because the control arm had rusted out. Even the tow truck driver who came to pick it up said it was quite rusted on the under carriage and probably wasn't worth fixing. I told Wayne that I just wanted to determine whether it was worth fixing before junking it. When I called him an hour later, he said he was fixing it, it would be just about $100, and it would be done in just over an hour. I was speechless, but managed to utter, "ok, thanks!". I was amazed!! My daughter is thrilled that her car was fixed so inexpensively. We had started looking for another car for her, and even $2000 only got a piece of crap. We are SOOO happy that this car was fixed, and for SO little money!!! Wayne is the absolute best. His skills truly surpass the expectations. That's so rare in this day and age that I had to give a 5 star review. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. read more
