Dan’s Auto

Dan’s Auto is the BEST! :)
A friend refer’d me to Dan back in 2010 after I got turn’d down by a good 8 autoshops around Boston, all who couldn’t remove the 16 locknuts off my rims w/​o the locknut key. I bought my car used & it didn’t come w/​the key. If I ever got a flat tire, I’d have to tow the car, and pray the shop can actually remove the tire. All the shops I talk’d to couldn’t :(
Dan removed the 16 locknuts by drill’n thru & bust’n each one! I hated those ugly rims so it didn’t matter they were no longer usable. He put in the new rims & new tires I had bought online. I picked up my car on Sunday, it was his dayoff, so I had to keep calling to followup on how much I owed him. He told me not to worry about it. Finally, months later, I dropped by to pay whatever was due. Dan seriously meant it when he told me not to worry about it! He wouldn’t accept payment! Crazy nice, huh?
Another time, I dropped by for a checkup before the annual inspection. My rear brake lightbulb was out (who knew?), Dan didn’t have the bulb on site, so he phoned someone to deliver it right away. Amazing service! I paid $ 3 for the bulb replacement & $ 25 for the oil change.
He also takes my car to the Inspection Stations for annual sticker changes, while I wait comfortably in his office.
On & on, every time I drop by for service, Dan would offer me free advice too, ranging from car shopping to managing a team, to starting a business, to networking, all topics! He’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! SUPER GENUINELY NICE!
Only con to Dan’s Auto is that he is pretty much a «One Man Shop», so scheduling is more challenging. But always worth the wait! :)

Dan is truly one of the good ones. You always hear about mechanics being dishonest, sloppy with their work, and looking for their benefits. But Dan is the total opposite and is straight-​up and up front. I’ve been going to him for several years, through a recommendation of a friend, and always speak highly of him to others. He may be very busy with other jobs, but he take time out to speak to you and addresses your needs.

I’ve been going to Dan for repairs since the mid 90’s. He’s an honest and trustworthy mechanic. He won’t steer you wrong. His work is the highest quality. He’s factory certified. I send all my friends to him. Unfortunately, he’s a one man show and his services are in high demand to the clients who’s been with him for years.
