Carworks

With Carworks doing repairs and maintenance I'm comfortable driving my old car all around Boston and up and down 495. It seems that everything is taken care of at inspection time, and then I'm good to go for another year. Highly recommended.

Carworks is the only place I will ever bring my car. Poor John and the crew have been dealing with my junkers for 17 years. I am perfectly comfortable giving John carte blanche when it comes to the repairs. The guys are always honest and tell you the problems in order of importance. John will always give you multiple options for repairs if they exist and give you his recommendations. If John doesn't know the answer he will research it and let you know. Everytime I get a "new" car I take it to Carworks for inspection, and I know if it passes there that I will be safe. Recently my Honda CRV was shimmying on the road at certain speeds and I was worried that perhaps a new tranny was needed, but John recommended a tranny fluid flush and now all is better than well. Cost was around $100, but my peace of mind was priceless.... John is also a VERY funny man and I have always felt that he should be a guest mechanic on Car Talk. Let's everyone who reads this write to Car Talk to have John as a guest mechanic on the show.

Took my 2005 Toyota to the local dealership for a annual inspection and was told it did not pass because of several issues. Without going into the gory details, I was very dissatisfied with the analysis and recommended remedies, to put it mildly! Took it to CARWORKS and was please, in this day of 24/7 SPIN, not to be subjected to any but got a straightforward solution to the issues raised by the Toyota dealership. Within 1 1/2 hours I was out of there and had my inspection sticker; I paid more for it by not returning to the Toyota dealership but it was worth it. I would NEVER return to the local Toyota Dealership!

I've been going to this shop for the past 15 years. Never been disappointed. I always get a good explanation of what's wrong, what it needs to be fixed, how much it will cost, and a heads up about what may need service in the future. Very informative. Very friendly. Very high quality work. And, maybe best of all, these people are as honest as the day is long. Always a pleasure to do business with.

John Schier, the owner, knows his stuff; hires mechanics who know their stuff and is honest in his dealings with customers. This win-win combination is hard to come by and the reason I will go out of my way to bring my car the Car Works for any future repairs necessary.

John and his staff have always been friendly, professional and gone out of their way to help. Since moving to the area in 1995, he has been our go-to guy for problems with our various family vehicles. It's refreshing to know there is a shop nearby that we have complete confidence in, and where we'll be greeted on a first-name basis.

I've been going to Carworks since 1984, sometimes commuting over 1/2 hour to get there. John and his staff have been consistently honest and reliable. The work gets done right and only the necessary work gets done. From junkers to new vehicles, they do it all. He'll do dealer scheduled maintenance at WAY less than what a dealer will charge. Carworks is THE best!
