Auto Haus of Meredith

These guys were so helpful and kind when I came to them with a flat tire. They took care of things right away and charged me close to nothing.

Paul and his staff are outstanding. They are fair, honest, and skilled mechanics. They always explain what needs to be done and really seem to enjoy educating their customers, while never talking down to you, no matter how little you know about cars. (As a teacher, I really appreciate that!) As a woman, I have had some lousy experiences with mechanics, but Paul and his staff seem to treat every woman that walks in the door like they would want their daughter treated. They understand that money is tight for many people and always try to help you prioritize repairs. I always leave confident that my car is safe, knowing I’ve paid a fair price, and informed with everything I need to know to keep my car well maintained. I’ve given many word of mouth recommendations for Autohaus but thought it was about time to put it online!

I’m sitting in Paul’s waiting area having my wife’s oil changed and realized I’ve been with Paul almost as long as my wife, since 2005! Over nearly the past decade I’ve been bringing all my family’s cars to Paul. He’ll save you money when he can, and when work does need to be done you can be sure you’re getting quality work in exchange for your money. Paul seems to have a sixth sense about cars no matter the make, model, or year, he knows what to look for and how to fix what is broken.

The only place I go to for auto repair. The owner is always there and is very honest and upfront about what work needs to be done. The mechanics are well skilled and you will have your car fixed. You couldn’t find a better place for the right price.
I had my oil changed and while doing so, found out that my battery was on its way out because of an old alternator. I always wondered why the car was not turning over as fast as it used to… They replaced the alternator and belt as well as a new battery for half the price of what the dealer would charge. (Not to mention they use NAPA parts from the NAPA store next door!)

Give this place a try for a tune up, oil change, or repair… you won’t be disappointed. The owner, Paul, is as honest as they come. You can trust his knowledge and know that your car will be repaired right… the first time.
You’re car will thank you.

I’m getting ready to head to work, my car won’t start. Call AAA, they can’t get it started but recommend I take it to Auto Haus. I drive a Jaguar and was very skeptical, but since there are no dealers near Meredith I had him tow it there. I was told I needed a new starter and it would cost me $ 600. When I went to pick it up, they said it ended up being a grounding cable and it was $ 100 even. I was stunned, they could have told me it needed a new starter and I would have paid.
I’ve brought my car back to them for front end work, my car drives like new.
I would highly recommend these guys.
Good work, Honest, Nice People to Work With.

It’s late morning on a Saturday in early February. We’re on 93 North, on our way to northern VT to go skiing for a few days, and every warning light on the dashboard lights up. We limp off the highway at the first exit with the auto transmission acting up, climate control out of commission and other oddities starting to happen, and coast down the hill to a Mobil station-​convenience store. Fuses are fine. Fluids are fine. Now the car won’t even start. I ask a local about a good place to fix the car and call call Triple-​A for a tow into Meredith, 7 miles down the road. Meanwhile, my wife — who’s not about to renege on our annual mini X-​C skiing vacation — arranges for the last rental car available for many miles. I go in the tow truck, marveling at the number of people, vehicles and buildings out on the ice at the local ice fishing festival as we inch down the main drag. Within a few minutes after having my car dropped off the flatbed, unannounced, and after listening to my saga of the symptoms Paul at Auto Haus tells me he suspects the alternator. Pulling the OBD codes confirms his analysis. We discuss repair options and price ranges. It’s obvious Paul’s a straight up guy whose goal is to do a good job. My wife and son show up in the rented Dodge Stratus that barely fits all our skis, poles and boots, and off we go. I call Paul on Monday, learn the price — less than $ 500, labor included — and arrange to pick up the car after hours. Just an hour out of our way to drive to Meredith and back to Plymouth to return the rental car, and we’re on our way back to Boston, relatively unscathed.
Guys like Paul Lanni, who are smart, straight up and trustworthy, are few and far between, and deserve to be recognized.
