I had a good experience! I tend to be weary and nervous when looking for a trustworthy mechanic, especially as a female. I am glad I brought my little car here. My brakes were feeling "floaty" and not as responsive as before. As a precaution I brought it in to get looked at, and they took the time to diagnose and troubleshoot what was wrong with my car while taking time to explain to me what my car was doing in a way that made sense, and trying all of the cheaper fixes first. My car had a bit of an interesting problem but they were able to find the cheapest possible fix that should last me quite awhile. They fixed a few smaller issues and checked on other things free of charge, they were very fair and transparent with pricing and parts. They were surprisingly quick to fix my vehicle, and I was very appreciative of them being able to get me in and out relativley quickly. I'll be going back there to get an oil change relativley soon when I'm due for it. Which, for full synthetic they are very affordable even compared to jiffy lube. No one likes having to drop money on car fixes in this economy, but these guys do what they can to lessen the shock and work with you! Would highly recomm

We’ve trusted this shop with both our commercial and personal vehicles for the past three years, and they have been excellent every time. They are professional, honest, and genuinely trustworthy — which is exactly what you want in an automotive shop. I really appreciate that they explain what needs to be fixed, how urgent it is, and what can reasonably wait, without ever making you feel pressured. Their pricing is fair, their work is reliable, and their reputation speaks for itself. There’s a reason the lot is always full!

This place is the absolute best. Went above and beyond with all the cars I’ve brought them - always making sure I was getting the best possible service at the best possible rate. And the just friendliest guys ! Without a doubt the best mechanic I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. If fact, maybe the best customer experience Ive ever had. I cannot stop recommending this place to my friends. In heaven, I believe all business are run like alewife automotive.

There simply aren't enough stars available here for this review. This place offers next-level kind of service. George greeted me when I walked in the door- there was likely a look of terror/horror on my face! I had just been to the dealership up the road for my car and I thought for sure I'd have to take out a small loan to cover the costs of the repairs. He must have sensed my distress! His genuine kindness and concern won me over right away, and I felt better even before we'd talked about the car issues, of which there were plenty. From start to finish, George was responsive, professional and best of all, fair. He talked me through every charge to help me understand what was needed and never, and I mean NEVER, did I feel as though I was getting the run around or being overcharged. Being a woman with limited knowledge about cars often puts me at a disadvantage, and in the past I have paid way more than I should have simply because I didn't know which questions to ask. At this shop, I didn't feel they were trying to push repairs on me that weren't needed. I will never again take my car to the dealer and will always come to Alewife Auto. The fact that they are a family run busine

Alewife Automotive is awesome. They’re extremely honest and only recommend what truly needs to be done — nothing more. I trust them completely. On a few occasions, they’ve helped me out when time was of the essence, and they came through without hesitation. Great guys. I recommend them without reservation.
