Bruce’s Auto Service

Originally took our car to BJs in Norwell because they could fix the car the soonest. They quoted us something ridiculous for brake pads and calipers (all we needed) so we had our car towed to Bruce’s. We saved $ 1300 by bringing our car to Bruce’s instead of what BJs quoted us at!

This place is AMAZING and Bruce is just about the nicest, most understanding, patient and professional man you will meet. They fixed my poor, sad, Pathfinder at a great price, went the extra mile for me and worked with me on the price too. I cannot rave enough about them. They are what you always hope a mechanic will be. TOTAL pros!

I’ve been using Bruce since I got my license in 2000 and he was in the Hanover mall. Always recommend people to use him as it is extremely hard to find an honest mechanic.

Best shop in the area. I have — and continue to – drive far out of my way to a place that has earned my trust.

Being a small business owner myself, we have a few trucks that sometimes limper in and Bruce’s Auto has them back in action in no time! But now having two daughters with cars, it’s so great to have someone you feel comfortable sending your young daughters to without feeling they will take advantage of them! What a great hidden GEM!!!

My family has been going here for years and Bruce and his team are some of the best mechanics you’ll get. Honest, reasonable, and they won’t screw you over. I wouldn’t trust my car with anyone else!

DON’T USE BRUCE’S AUTO
So I go into this dump thinking telling them what I think is wrong with my truck that is making a loud sound. I say it’s the transmission, because I’ve had this happen a LOT:
Me: I think my transmission is dying. (Saying this multiple times to both him and mechanic (I have no experience as a mechanic… Other than predicting my car problems and then watch all mechanic’s fail as fixing anything until it’s become a money trap).
Bruce: let’s have a kid who looks like he just left high school diagnose it…
5 second later.
Bruce: No, it’s some other stuff. Ooh and there’s some other safety issues you should take care of. Cost you no more than $ 600.
Relief washes over me. I’ve found reliability thanks to Unilocal.No more asking people, do you know a reliable mechanic? Do you? How are they?-$ 600 later, then a phone call…
Bruce: Ya your water pump went on it, bad luck want us to replace it?..
Hesitantly.
Dan: Ok.
We’re up to $ 800-​$ 900. But who cares? It’s not the transmission. This guy has a fleet of talented young kids out of school who love this stuff.
I get the vehicle back. I drive home. Did it just makes that sound again… Couldn’t be. I go to work. Again that noise? Did I-…Zzzzzzzz! Between switching gears. Son of a-​!
Take it back to the mechanic.
Bruce: Ya it’s your transmission.
Really??? You mean I diagnosed my own problem and then you took me for like $ 900 worth of work??! The truck died 2 months later.
Bruce you really set me back a year at least in my life. I’m struggling to recover from throwing out $ 1000 in the trash. I’m not rich like there people in your town. I’m not a norwellian or a hanoverite. I’m poor. You took my money and didn’t do anything to make it better. You have solidified in my mind that mechanic’s can’t fix cars.
If you need your oil changed. Go to your local dumb bell to burn his hand on your hot oil.
You need your car fixed?
A. If you can afford it, throw it out. Buy a new car.
B. If you can’t afford it, throw yourself out, you can’t afford life.

My wife brought her car in for a repair that McGee Toyota in Hanover tried to charge her over $ 200 for. When she went to pick it up from Bruce’s he told her that there was no problem other than a loose part causing a loud rattling noise and that she was «all set.» She offered something for his time but he refused any of her money.
If you’re looking for an honest mechanic then this is the place.

Just picked my truck up with a bill of $ 42…the Ford dealership had told me last week that the computer needed replacing and wanted over $ 900! These guys also fixed my wife’s SUV for a fraction of the price quoted by the dealership. Very honest garage who have integrity. Thank you.

I’ve taken my cars to Bruce’s Auto since ’93 and have nothing but praise for this man and his repair business. As Bruce told me himself a few years ago, «trust is everything in my line of work… you won’t last long without it. » Well, I can promise you this… Bruce is a business owner you can trust to get the work done right, get it done quick and get it done at a reasonable price. I’ve sent others to Bruce’s Auto, and all have thanked me for the recommendation. If I could give this business six stars., I would. For now, five will have to do.

Honest work. Priced a little higher than other shops I’ve been to, but you get what you pay for. I recommend these guys all the time. It doesn’t get any better than these guys.

Brought my car to Bruce for a jingling noise, an oil change and to check out why my car sounded louder.
Got my car back in 24 hours for $ 78! Wheel bearing was replaced for free due to still being under warranty from a previous replacement through his shop!
Honest, polite and a fair price. Bruce’s still is the best around! :)

I’ve been taking cars to Bruce for over 20 years. He and his crew do honest, solid, cost-​effective work; and sadly, that’s not true of everyone in the business. For years, we’ve recommended Bruce to all of our friends and they have had the same experience. Over the years, he became more than a mechanic, we count him as a trusted friend. He has my highest recommendation.

Everything you’d want in a mechanic. If more places were like this you no one would worry when their car broke down.

Another 5 star review. Bruce is a pleasure to deal with — does the job until it is done right, reasonable price, no attitude.

Bruce is a guy you can trust. Great mechanics and repair cost are reasonable.

Several years ago a friend told me to try Bruce’s auto for mysterious vibration problem I had had with my Explorer. As soon as I explained the problem he told me what was wrong. Bruce was the fifth mechanic to look at the issue including two from the manufacturer’s dealership. None of the previous mechanics could figure it out and a few suggested new tires as a shot in the dark. Bruce fixed the problem that day. Since then, I have experienced nothing but success at Bruce’s.

My family has been using Bruce’s auto for years. I moved to Quincy a few months ago and still take my car there for oil changes, etc.

I brought my car in for a while now from a close friend of Bruce.
The crew does a great job
They get right the first time. Honest is the key to a great mechanic.
There are not many of them left.
I recommend that if you have a problem with your vehicle go the Bruce’s. Prices aren’t bad.
