Just about the nicest guys, gave them a call less than an hour before they closed to get a tire plugged. They got me right in, came in with just the tire, they got it plugged in about 5 minutes, I offered to put the tire back on my car to not waste any more of their time and they instead got my car on the jack, put the tire back on and topped all my tires off with air. Could not ask for a better service.
Over the years, I've gone here 4 or 5 cars long--a couple of Volvo's and Saab's worth! They are expert and knowledgeable about cars. I have consistently received clear and logical explanations of what was wrong and how it was fixed. Prices are fair and I always got a call if a job turned out to be bigger--before I committed to spending the money. I am grateful to feel trust in their word and work. It's rare to feel like you wouldn't want to go anywhere else. A friend w/a Saab who swore by ABJ referred me to them 15 or so yrs ago. After he moved to NYC he STILL brought his car from NY so he could go to them. That speaks volumes and now I know why--I'd do the same.
Place is great. True Experts of Car Repair. I have brought them easy repairs and major challenges and they have exceeded my expectations every time. My car has 130K miles on it and is running like its fresh off the lot. The credit belongs to ABJ
Honestly this place has changed. There was a new manager or mechanic that is taking charge. There is no longer any women mechanics or owners. Aka they tried to RIP me off and they did. Ive had work done here 3 or 4 times before and I would come and they would check my car and then give me a fair quote. This time the new guy belittled and really made me feel uncomfortable. I told them that I needed my ac compressor replaced and that I would bring the part (what another mechanic recommended since I have a old car 1995). The guy said that was like bringing in your own food to a restaurant. Then he quoted a 500 dollar bill to just install the compressor. All the other 3 mechanics I called said that price was ridiculous. The guy said they would charge you a minimum of 95 dollars to look at your car. He looked at it for a total of 4 minutes = I timed him on my cell. He came back and said I'll charge you only half an hour...basically DONT COME HERE. I paid the money and left. I went with another mechanic from yelp. Wish they hadn't changed their values.
Incredibly easy to deal with. Very personable and honest. Great communication and they were quick! I'm definitely coming back here for anything I need done to my truck in the future.
Fantastic service, wonderful price, really nice people!
They fixed the rotting rear shock mounts on my 2001 SAAB 9-3 in a day, which required grinding, welding, mechanical and painting.
I am in awe.
Despite the drab new building on Mystic Ave, if you like me still own a Saab, this is a good repair option. These guys are no-nonsense mechanics and usually have good tips for your Saab when you have some unique annoying issue that is inherent to Saabs. The prices are comparatively fair. My former dealer (Herb Chambers) have no more Saab mechanics, so ABJ is it and thank heavens they are fair and usually fast with their service options. If you don't mind walking for 10 minutes, the Orange Line is in Assembly Row to get you home, or take Uber/Lyft.
I have been going to ABJ since I first bought a car in Boston 15 years ago. They have been awesome. The owner, Al, died about a year ago. His daughter Mimi is now running the business, and she is every bit as knowledgeable and thinks of the mechanics as family. And she and the mechanics definitely don't assume that women are airheads.
