    I would come here again if I am in pinch. But the mechanics and the owner were very nice and easy to talk to. They do a thorough job here so no complaints from me and open late on the weekends too.

    answered all my questions, and gave me time to look things up myself before making a decision. I was really grateful for his help and his time, and I know more about cars than I did when I walked in!

    I've come to know Eli and the mechanics as being fast, reliable and reasonably priced. One huge advantage is that you can just bring your car in and they will do whatever to get you back on the road

    very straight forward with me, telling me what really needs to be done on the car and what can wait, does the job quickly and has always been fair with pricing. He's both knowledgeable and respectful.

    They do a good job with repairs, and will work with you if you are on a budget, to say what you need done vs. what is OK to put off until next time. Plus, their waiting room is totally dog-friendly!

    I called Eli at Fresh Pond and he said he will take care of it. My car was just delivered to me via flet bed tow. So I think that was good business and he wants to keep a good customer.

    You may experience a bit of an upsell, but if you're straight with them, they'll be straight with you. Quick service and fair prices. Just ask them for as much detail as possible.

    Eli and his crew are honest, respectful and cost me about half of what I would spend at the Saab dealership. Further, they explain everything to me and show me exactly why a repair in necessary.

    I've taken my car to Fresh Pond Mobil for more than five years--chiefly for inspections, rarely for any other kinds of repairs. I've found the work reliable, fast, and not expensive.

    I drove to FPM. They also diagnosed it as a radiator problem(I'm glad we agreed) and quoted me $265 to install it(parts and labor). Diagnosis and repair took a little less than 2 hrs.
