Brakeman's Auto Repair

You'll be hard pressed to find a place more honest and fair than Brakeman's. I came with a simple service (loose heat shield in the rear) and had it done in minutes for an exceptionally fair price. In the current economic landscape, where everyone is trying to rip you off, I have the utmost respect for establishments like Brakeman's.

I had a warning light I was worried about and Ray was able to see me right away. He figured out the problem and fixed it immediately. He repaired another issue with my car last year and it has held up well. Very fair pricing and fast service.

I’m absolutely thrilled with my experience at Brakeman's Autoshop! I had a brake issue and called at night and was able to bring my car in the very next morning. Not only is Ray super friendly, but he’s also a true expert at what he does. He fixed my brake issue in no time and charged a very fair price. If you’re having any brake issues, I highly recommend Brakeman's. I’ll definitely be coming back!

After relocating to New England, I sought a trustworthy auto repair shop and discovered Brakeman’s Auto Repair in Jamaica Plain, MA. Their numerous 5-star Yelp reviews highlighting exceptional service, quality, and professionalism caught my attention. Upon visiting their website, I was impressed by their rich family history in mechanics, which prompted me to schedule an appointment. Surprisingly, securing a slot was easy despite their stellar reputation.  Using the Waze app for navigation, I encountered minor inaccuracies; however, locating the shop became straightforward once I realized it’s situated across from the gas station on the corner, housed in a distinctive green building. The owner, Ray, was both kind and courteous. He thoroughly examined my brakes and rotors, informed me that he would order the necessary parts, and mentioned there might be a wait. He suggested I consider taking an Uber, but I opted to spend time at a nearby library. Unfortunately, the library was a small branch that didn’t open until noon that day, so I utilized the adjacent Curtis Hall Community Center to catch up on some work.  Throughout the service, I received timely updates from the shop. The brake and rotor repairs were completed efficiently, and Ray’s dedication to customer satisfaction was evident. He checked in later that day to ensure my car was performing well post-service and followed up the next day to confirm my continued satisfaction. This level of personalized service reminded me of the local mechanics back in the South.  The most important thing besides the service, and the quality, the VALUE!!! I saved 50% of what I was quoted 💴by the dealership just for brakes!! 🤯 It goes to show that there are still businesses like Brakeman’s Auto Repair that aren’t trying to get over on people that provide GENUINE SERVICE in a timely manner. In summary, Brakeman’s Auto Repair offers a blend of professional expertise and genuine customer care. For anyone in the New England area seeking reliable auto service, I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Needed my brake rotors & pads replaced completely and asap. I called on a weekday morning and was able to bring in and get it done the same day. After he completed the fix and took the car for a test drive to make sure everything went smoothly, he also noted another potential tire issue to watch out for but no pressure to service immediately. Note that there is additional processing fee to pay with credit so prepare cash instead.
