Lucchetti's Service Center, Incorporated

Toyota dealer recommended boot replacement for my wife's camry - a $400 item. Dealer stated that the boots were a stage 3? Checked with Lucchetti's after a recommendation and they saved us $400 as there was no damage to the boots. Thanks Lucchetti!

The folks at Lucchetti's are simply the BEST! They had the patience and took the time to track down an elusive noise that the dealer couldn't find. Better yet, they were honest and charged me fairly for a minor repair (when the dealer wanted to replace everything from suspension components to engine mounts). If you're on the south shore, there's no reason to go anywhere else for service.

I heard about Luchetti's on this site and took a chance. They have worked on my ancient 1995 Ford Contour and my wife's fairly new Nissan Xterra. I feel as though they are trustworthy and the prices aren't crazy outrageous. They explain what they are doing thoroughly and then let you decide what you want done. Here's an example of why I believe all of the above: My Contour had some brake issues that I wanted to ignore but my (then fiancee/now wife) said it was dangerous. The car was making a weird noise that I associated with the brake issue. I brought it to my dealer because there was some recall work that needed to be done and he gave me an estimate for the brakes, which they said were completely rusted and needed a lot of work, that would cost approxiamately $2000. So, I passed and took it to Luchettis where my wife had had a good experience. They called to tell me that there was an ignition problem they needed to fix that was causing the noise. They said that they wouldn't be able to determine the brake situation until they fixed the ignition problem (the dealer who had looked over the car never mentioned this ignition problem. I gave the okay and they found that the brakes just needed pads and the grand total was around $600. You do need to make an appointment and they are a busy shop (likely because they are good.) I told the mechanic that I would spread the word about them because customer service is lacking in many industries these days. I've done it with my friends and now I impart my story to you. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

I don't know much about cars but Luchetti's are straight shooters who explain everything they need/want to do. I've never gotten the feeling they were padding the numbers or the need for repairs. I've had frank discussions with them about my old car and they have given me good options based on not wanting to invest much in it. I had a 95 Ford Contour which they helped me extend a few years before its worth until i was able to upgrade. I just bought an 06 Tacoma and will take it to Luchetti's for oil changes and any non-warranty repairs in the future.
