Absolutely terrific service. Rick and Dave are very knowledgeable at what they do. I went in for all fluid change brake, rear diff etc. I got into my car and automatically I felt the difference. Super happy with the service would absolutely recommend. Didn't try to sell other stuff I didn't need did what was asked and checked for other stuff. Found the perfect mechanic. Price is very competitive.
Follow up: after my last visit about 3 months I recently had battery problem. Called and spoke to Rick and he was more than happy to talk to me and guide me with some trouble shooting. After I got off the phone with him I tried what we talked about. And my car started again. And not only that but Dave made a surprise visit to my resident just too help me take a look. He didn't have too do that And i told him that but he said I'm a customer and it's all about customer experience. Wow. They are great at what they do but most of all they really try to help out. Thanks LBJ!

My car was recently serviced by Rick and his team. The check engine light was on. Rick and team did their due diligence, and Rick recommended a cost effective option that resolved the problem. I have literally saved thousands of dollars in repairs and maintenance by using LBJ. For example, I was a proud owner of an Acura Integra. The dealer quoted me $6000 + of repairs. Rick and team did everything for half the price.
I drive from Attleboro to Melrose for Rick and team to work on the car. It is worth the money I save. I can trust that Rick will fix whatever is needed at the most cost effective price. This team is exceptional. I highly recommend them. Rick said 16 years belonging to BBB and no complaints. Enough said.
