Provided by YP.comI took my 1988 Mazda PU in for an oil change. It was 4:55 PM, ready to close on a Saturday. They told me that the engine was knocking so they would not change my oil.
The valves click sometimes, but the engine is not "knocking". The manager was adamant that he had the right not to service my vehicle. I think he just wanted to go home and didn't want to service my truck. I got the oil changed the following Monday at Walmart. No problems!
This manager needs to be trained or fired.

Provided by YP.comThey don't know what they're doing. They claim they had their best mechanic looking at my vehicle. He told me it could be 1 of 3 things wrong with it, but wasn't sure, and then kept saying my computer was bad on my truck. I don't think a 1987 vehicle has a whole computer that would go out, then told me it would cost about $3,000.
It was very clear to me their so called "top mechanic" was clueless. I'm taking my vehicle to EJ Weaks & Sons who are honest, reasonable, and tell the truth. They would only charge a fraction of the cost, and give you a "free" estimate on what's wrong with it before charging you anything. I had to pay for 2 hours of Diagnostics for nothing. What a waste. I should of never taken it there. It's obvious they charge way too much, and don't know what they're doing!

Provided by YP.comMy car's battery died at the inspection station across the street from this place and the owner was cool enough to jump my car and replace my battery with an excellent warranty. They even did an awesome job at cleaning up the battery acid and sealing the terminals!

Provided by YP.comExcellent Automotive Repair Center!
O'Brien's Automotive is a great shop. I brought my 2003 Toyota Camry there because of an engine noise thinking that it would be a very expensive repair. They discovered that it was a minor fix and did not charge me for anything I did not need. I will never go to another auto repair shop. They are trustworthy and know what they're doing.

Provided by YPmobileThis place is great! I had vehicle trouble, my engine was dying intermittently. I had the vehicle diagnosed at another facility and felt I needed a second opinion. I took my car into O'Brien's Automotive and spoke with Nanette. She assured me she would diagnose and advise me on the problem. Nanette called me shortly after and had an estimate ready. The estimate was to correct the same repair the other facility found, but for half the cost!!!! I am so happy with the service and knowledge this facility represents. I noticed other customers were "return customers" and I'm sure I will return as well. Thank you.

Provided by YP.comVery helpful staff. Very reasonable prices. I went in for an electrical diagnostic because of a drain that was the battery. I told them what I thought it was and they were able to solve problem quickly so they only charged me half. It was my first time to take a vehicle there, and it was a very good first experience.
