I started using their service in 2014. At that time the service was great. However, in the last two years each time I took my vehicles for work or inspection the prices became excessive and each car failed inspection. This week I too my van in for an inspection. They claimed I needed rotors and breaks. When I reminded them that they failed the van for the same thing two years ago, they replaced my brakes and rotors at that time and the fact that the van is rarely driven. they started back pedaling. After they checked their computer records, I was given more bogus excuses. Since I use to work on cars before becoming disabled, I knew they were not be transparent. I had another mechanic look at the van and then took it to another inspection station. The van passed. I paid $20 for something Gerry Farms was going to charge me $690.

I took my 2013 Corolla in because my steering wheel was shaking every time I applied my brakes. I dropped it off in the afternoon and they got back to me the next morning. They told me they had to replace my rotors, pads, a caliper boot seal and a rear wheel bearing. I authorized the work and waited till the next day to pick my car up. I picked my car up that afternoon and started driving again and noticed the issue was still there. I dropped the car back off and the next day they said my calipers had to be changed. I picked my car back up the next day and again started driving and noticed there was a scraping sound coming from the rear where they had changed my bearing. I decided to pull the wheel off myself and noticed that the drums and shoes were in bad shape. The scraping sound had not been there before and I just had the safety inspection done 8 months prior. I decided to change it myself. The complaint I have on this particular shop is that twice I took my car in and they failed to tell me my drums and shoes were bad. I don’t believe they actually test drove the car after the work they did. They also charged me twice the labor on the rotors and pads which were not the problem the first time. And the mechanic never even contacted me to let me know exactly what needed to be done. Everything was communicated through the receptionist who by the way was very courteous and I have no complaints towards her. But needless to say I don’t recommend this shop at all.

We scheduled a state inspection and were informed that all of our brakes needed to be repaired. Based upon our knowledge about the vehicle, we knew this information was incorrect. We ended up taking our “failed” vehicle to another location a few days later and it passes with no repairs being needed. I would like to caution anyone about going to this garage for repairs since they are not honest individuals. Would give half a star if it were possible. Having a mechanic in the family, we know how to identify failing brakes. Inventing false issues to wrongly charge customers is not professional.

I've had nothing but, great experiences with Ferry Farm Repair. Honest work, quick turnarounds on repairs, fair pricing. Their towing service is very fast and affordable. From customer service to repairs A-1!

I highly recommend this repair shop. They do the work correctly and are honest. Ask for Blaine to be your tow truck driver. He towed my car and he was very thorough and courteous.

I took my 2017 Ford F250 in for inspection and was told it failed because of the windshield tint. I've had the truck since 2019 and it has passed all inspections, including one at Ferry Farm Repair. When I pointed this out, they confirmed that the vehicle had previously been inspected there and passed (the window is the same and the laws are the same). Their explanation was that the guy who inspected it previously no longer worked there! When I got home I saw that they had also checked the form indicating that the windshield wipers failed, although they said nothing about it to me. On seeing this, I went out and inspected the windshield wipers physically and in operation. They are flawless. I have used Ferry Farm Repair for several years, but I will never return. They are not customer friendly, so beware.

Great local mechanics you can trust. They also will refer you if they're too busy. That shows a lot of honesty. Never had an issue with upcharges or faulty work. Definitely "My mechanic".

These guys are awesome. Honest, knowledgeable, efficient. My truck broke down on rt 3- from being towed to completely fixed was only about 24hrs. It was a complex repair but they took care of it.

Ferry Farm Repair is the best place for auto repair. The staff makes customer service a priority and your satisfaction their main concern with vehicle repair. If you want honesty and top auto technicians they are right here in Stafford.

Took my car in for a standard state inspection because they were right down the road from my job. They advised I needed new brakes, rotors, and suspension control arms for over $1400 in repairs. I was shocked and advised I just had my brakes replaced less than a year ago so I find it surprising that I “need new brakes”... So then they said oh your back brakes “looked great” but the front ones need replacing. They “rejected” my car for the state inspection. I drove it straight over to my regular repair shop who looked at my brakes/suspension and confirmed they did not need to be replaced. I would not recommend going to this shop if you don’t want to be taken advantage of. I understand a state inspection doesn’t make you money, but I am seeing a trend of repair shops all advising brakes need to be replaced lately.

Our young adult son took his truck in with brake issues. They were able to look at the truck and call him back within an hour with an estimate. When he asked if he could buy his own parts to save a little money they allowed that (although of course they don't warranty the part if it's not theirs). He brought the part to them they let him know the brand he'd chosen (of course the cheapest) wasn't the best product as it tended to fail within the first year. They recommended a very slightly more expensive brand, which the auto part store also carried, because it came with a three year warranty and in their experience it lasted the full three years. When he took the part back to the auto store the man there said it was a smart call to switch out to the other brand listing the same reason (why the auto parts store carries the inferior brand in the first place is a topic for different review). After dropping the new part back off and asking for the tires to also be rotated we left expecting it to be hours before we heard from them. Nope, they called right around the hour mark telling him the truck was ready! I really appreciated their willingness to help a young man save a bit of money by allowing the purchase of his own parts, I appreciate their willingness to help educate him about parts and brands and reasons without being condescending, and you honestly can not beat the speed with which they both looked over the truck to let him know what was wrong and then getting the part installed and the truck road worthy again once they had the part delivered. Based on this experience I'll definitely recommend to my husband he gives this small shop a try if we have any car repairs he doesn't have the time for or chooses not to do himself.

Nice to find a shop where employees are warm, knowledgeable and honest. They helped when I had a flat tire no spare :(. They treated me with respect and resolved my issue to get me back on the road. I will be coming here for all my future auto needs. It’s hard to find shops with professionals who are honest and don’t try to make a quick buck. They value customers and I am impressed with their honesty and service.

I recently took my elderly mother's car for an annual inspection. They were more than willing to provide this service quickly and they gave me an honest opinion on what might need attention in the future. Very honest and helpful.

I’ve been going here for years, and I have never had a bad experience! I always come here for oil changes, state inspections, and any other they have recently had an ownership change and the new owner is one of the former mechanics. The shop has been cleaned up, and now I don’t feel like I need a tetanus shot when I go there. I definitely would recommend this shop to everyone!!
