This is the sort of place where I never need to question the guys working on my cars. They recommend something, I do it. I trust them, and haven't ever felt uncomfortable. They're honest and courteous, easy to work with. A real gem of a shop.

As I was visiting from Florida the idiot lights on my dashboard all lit up. I called Summer Street auto and they took a look that afternoon. After putting the car on the computer they assured me the car was still operable but needed a sensor replaced. I was so relieved. And when they send me on my way, at no charge, I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thank you Summer Street Auto.

My alternator stopped working on my way to work Wednesday and I barely made it home with the charge my battery had. The dealer I usually go to was booking out 1 month! I live right around the corner from Summer street auto. I spoke with them Wednesday afternoon and they got me in Thursday morning. I had my car back and repaired Thursday after work (for about 30-40% less than the dealer quoted). Safe to say I found my new go-to shop - Highly recommend!

I brought it in with issue with my tires. They thoroughly looked over my car. Gave me a much better price than another shop. Also fixed an air conditioning problem that had been going on for awhile. Very trust worthy and honest. Paul was amazing. Definitely will never go to anyone else.

Great service on short notice. I had a leaking tire that a gas station couldn’t fix. Dan checked all the tires and showed me how worn the tread was on 3 of them. I could see how bad they were. Dan ordered and replaced them that day. I feel safer driving the car and will always service my tires here.

I was having issues with my Jeep Wrangler that even the dealership could not diagnose. However, Paul got me in right away and was able to identity the issue which was my transmission. Although they do not do this kind of work, he reached out to a garage who does this kind of work to let them know the issues he had found w my Jeep so it made it that much easier for me to set up the appointment. It’s rare that you get this level of customer service these days. Paul is a true asset to Summer Street Auto Care. Thank you so much for your help Paul!

I was towed here by AAA when I had a flat in downtown Boston. I left the car overnight and was contacted first thing in the morning. I needed to replace all four tires as they were the wrong kind for Boston winters. Amazingly enough, they were able to get the tires that day and replace them. The cost was very reasonable. I was quite pleased with my experience.

Owner Ken Walsh is without a doubt the nicest man in the automotive repair business. Truly a warm hearted generous person as well. ❤️ He is and always will be loved and revered by all that know him. Through many years of hard work he built an honest service center that delivers fantastic service. 👍 👍

There were many expensive repairs needed before a long road trip the next evening. They seemed to prioritize my car and got the parts and coordinated the alignment. They even finished it early

I had a fantastic experience at Summer Street Auto Care when I went in for a tire change. From the moment I arrived, both Kenneth and Lisa were friendly, professional, and efficient. They quickly assessed my vehicle, explained my options, and got right to work. The service was fast, yet thorough, and I was back on the road in no time. What really stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. They ensured my new tires were properly balanced and even gave me helpful maintenance tips. The pricing was fair, and there were no hidden fees—just honest, quality service. If you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy auto shop, I highly recommend Summer Street Auto Care. I’ll definitely be returning for future car needs! Would you like any adjustments to make it more personalized?

Terrible business people dealt with a guy named Steve trying to buy an Audi. First red flag is he said he was selling it for a friend and didnt own it and said friend was unavailable to speak. Next I asked him for more pics with he said he would send the next day. He never sent them and when I followed up the next day he said he took a deposit from someone and waiting for them to secure financing no heads up or anything.

I needed to replace all tires in my Honda Civic. I had a very good experience. Dan and the other staff were most helpful, provided sound advice and a detailed estimate. The quality work was completed in timely fashion. I am most pleased with the services received.

I had such a great experience here! My car was having frustrating issues that different dealers were giving me different answers. The summer street auto team patiently tested the car and explained everything clearly to me. They were honest about what they can do and cannot do and kept me updated throughout the whole process. Everyone in the shop is kind, professional and genuinely cared about helping me out! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable care care!!

Spent 18 min on the phone with Darren just trying to get a quote on a simple wheel balance. Confirmed it several times just to get a call next morning from Dan and being told to forget about this quote and presented with a much higher price. Dan was very rude and did not seem to care about his colleagues or perspective clients.

Great experience. Brought a car in to get the brakes checked. It turned out they were fine and I was not charged, even after I offered to pay for their time inspecting. I’ll definitely bring the car back when new brakes are needed.

Tire blew out over the weekend. They took my in on Monday and had 4 new tires on by the end of the day. They could not have been nicer or more helpful! I will be going back for any future car issues!
