First of all sorry for my broken english but i want to share my experiance with this guys. I brought my wifes old 2001 ford focus because i had handbreak lights on all the time. I just asked him how much would it cost to change break pads and he told me about 200 USD. I had no idea about price because i was new in country. When I call two more mechanics from Arlington, MA they told me 90 and 100 dollars with same brand of pads and same car and same job. It was actually my second bad experiance with this place. Last summer when I bring my Buick Century 2000 because of some licking on my parking lot. He took the car keep it there for 5 hours and He finally told me that there wasnt any problem It was just airconditioner water I was happy with than until I hear he would charge me 50 dollars for this. He didnt put any new part, he didnt fix anything he probably checked some stuff in there and it was the value. Edit: When I go back to get my ford focus he told me to pay 60 USD to say "Your car is fine!!!" (without change anypart or fix something). I told him that I dont want to pay that much for just checking and he started to fight (not phsicly with words) with me and finally kicked me out of his place. I wanted to pay some money for his workers because they did all job and i didnt wanted to get it for free but honestly I didnt have any chance. I was not able to stay there because high tantion. I am hopping to find the mechanicer who worked with my car and spend some time (not owner the place) out side on street and give him a 30 - 40 dollars tip. So this is the story of me with this place. I just wanted to share. He might be a good mechanicer when you need but I felt like he wasnt honest with me and he always wants to charge as much as possible money from me. I would never ever go same place again and I would never tell people to go there. I live in America for 7 months now and first time I felt that way in this country.

Good old-fashioned mechanical repairs for my Mitsubishi Eclipse. I have used these guys for internal engine work (timing belt replacement), engine accessory work (water pump, belts, motor mount), and a perplexing fuel system "check engine" issue (replace rusty [no longer airtight] filler mechanism). In all cases they did good work in a timely manner. They are not fancy, you wont get loaner wheels or upholstered waiting room; but your car will get fixed. I have not shopped for price comparison since their prices were not excessive and did beat New Street on the one item both shops saw. As with any good shop in a populated area, you may have to wait for your turn in their shop.

I have been going to Grey Patti for at least 20 years. Lou is extremely reliable, does not recommend more than what needs to be done, goes out of his way for his customers, does not overcharge and does great work. He is very busy, which in my book means he is in demand and therefore worth the wait. I read the negative review written about him. Though he didnt find anything wrong with the guys car, he still spent time checking it out and should be paid for that time. I cant recommend him highly enough.
