Friendly, fairly priced, honest.

When my mother lived with me, we used to take her car to this place. She is disabled and they would always treat her right. They would often not charge my mom for the little things.
I used to take my 1998 Subaru Outback to the dealer when I lived in NH. Somersworth, NH had the best Subaru Dealership I have ever been to. When I moved to Watertown, I went to the Dealership in Belmont but they were horrible: always had an attitude, always the highest prices, and their repairs often led to more costly repairs in the same area of the car.
So, I decided to take my car to Belmont Auto Clinic after I saw how well they treated my mom. I have had a few high-cost repairs but they were all due and I was not surprised. I called around a bit afterward to compare prices and found that I had been given a good deal. After each repair, I didn't experienced another problem with that part of the car again. It has been 2.5 years since my last repair and my car is still running strong. I have been going to this place for oil changes, inspections and tune-ups ever since.
The technician is always very friendly and appreciative of my business. He will take the time to point out to me anything that looks like it may soon need to be replaced but can wait. He has saved me some money by letting me know what can wait for now and what was really necessary.
This is now the only garage I will go to. I try to give them my refueling business whenever I can as well.

Pros: Quick, thorough, repairs are always final.
Cons: Busy lot. Sometimes no parking.
