Great service! I went in the morning, without an appointment, to get the winter tires removed and summer ones installed, and it was done promptly. I did some shopping in town, and it was ready by the time I finished my shopping. Thank you! There was a previous post by someone who claimed she didn't get treated well since she was "a girl." My experience is the exact opposite - the mechanics are friendly and courteous to all women customers, and in no way take advantage because of gender. I'm treated fairly and honestly at South End Garage. Highly recommended!

They helped me fix my car, for a reasonable cost and quickly. They didn't try to upsell me on anything, which was nice.

Been dealing with Petes south end for years and never had any issues. I recommend them to friends all the time. They once worked on my car for 2 hrs and diagnosed problems that, they believed, were still under warranty. They didnt charge me and recommended that I should go the dealer. This garage has always been honest to me and my wife.
