My 2010 BMW 535i was at Foreign Motors for a couple of months due to the engine misfiring. They said they replaced the sparkplugs and coil and that it must be an internal problem or that my engine could be gone. I dropped my car off at Automotion on Tuesday night 4/9/2024 and received a call the next day that my car was all set and has never run better. If I could give Automotion 10 stars I would. I will never bring my car any where else but Automotion for repairs. I could not be happier and so grateful I got a second opinion before I was going to have it towed to the junk yard.

Saab repairsSaab owners (ok any make really)!This is great shop to care for your car- there are few mechanics who understand, have patience with Saabs. They have stock or access to stock parts. Repairs are done as promised and reasonable. Trustworthy shop for women - no condescending attitudes. Really top shop.Services: Auto battery replacement, Auto power window repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Brakes, Oil change

I brought my Audi in to Automotion Billerica on Thursday because the check engine light was on. Bo and Paul were amazing! Bo rode in the car with me and had me show him everything that I was concerned about, which in a 10 year old car is a lot. He checked it out, communicated everything he found, fixed some really hard stuff and had my car ready on Friday! I've never had a mechanic shop take care of me and my car so well and so promptly. I was blown away! My old car and engine, which had sounded like it was ready to die is now in great condition and drives so smoothly. These guys are phenomenal and I highly recommend them!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning

I can t speak highly enough about Automotion. I purchased a used Volvo from Carvana and had some issues pop up such as blower motor replacement and now the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. Bo & Paul helped me out immensely and worked with the 3rd party warranty company to make sure everything that went onto my car was the proper parts with no shortcuts. I will not be bringing my car anywhere else for any type of service for as long as I drive a Volvo and neither should you.Services: Exhaust, Auto exhaust system repair

My son's first car was a SAAB, which we quickly found out wasn't cheap to repair - nor was it easy to find a SAAB mechanic. Fortunately, Automotion was down the street.They always treated us fairly and never tried to upsell the repairs. Once they even took money off the bill when it was more than my son anticipated! And they have driven me home when I was dropping off a car.Foreign car repairs are never cheap, but Automotion is honest and helpful about all charges.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I really love my 2008 SAAB 9-5 combi wagon. At nearly 14 years old it is still solid and comfortable and it can cruise effortlessly at 80 mph all day long. I don't want a new car, they are all so dependent on complicated electronics that are doomed to fail, and few offer the style or everyday practicality that my SAAB wagon offers in spades. I just really want to keep this one going for as long as possible. My search for competent and fair mechanics ended at Automotion in Billerica and I thank my lucky stars. The company is owned and operated by Boe and Paul Kalinowski. This father and son team are unbelievably knowledgeable about cars (including Audi's) and they are amazing with my well loved SAAB. These two men are the REAL DEAL -- die hard car enthusiasts who fix both domestic and exotic cars, custom build and restore cars, and even race cars! They take great care of their fortunate clients and they work fair, fast, and with expertise, plus it's fun to see the cars they're working on for themselves. They work on many more makes of car than Saabs, so if you're looking for highly competent auto mechanics, you will be happy you gave them a try!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto maintenance

Bo and Paul have fixed my car 3 times over the past few years. Always nice and professional. No problems any time. Price was reasonable and fair. I was very happy with the service provided and would recommend Automotion.

Sometimes when you think you're getting a good deal in reality you're not. I kept taking my car to Boe because he takes care of me . No, his work is so bad that I would have to go back 2, 3 even 4 times because the work they do is so bad. I paid almost 12 hundred bucks for front and rear brakes and exhaust less than 1 month ago. I went to get an expectation sticker and they tell me I'm going to fail for an exhaust leak. Yeah I'm done with this place.

I've had Saabs since 1985 and that's when I first met Bo at the Reading Saab Dealer. I was devastated when he left and I 'lost' him when he struck out on his own and now he is found! He is the best mechanic and he is the man! So glad I found him again!

Today I had issues with my car. While I was searching for a place that has more available hours automotion showed up and I am so glad that I decided to have my car towed there. Bo was such a professional and in couple hours my car was fixed! They just gained a new customer. :)

In short, there is no one else in the Boston area I will take my Saab. Paul and his team know Saabs, are honest, do great work and will go the extra mile for their customers. I live in Marlboro and go out of my way to go to this shop because I know it will save me from problems in the long run.Here is my history with Automation:I bought a 2002 95 Wagon with the Turbo 3.0 with 87k miles in the Spring of 2011. Shortly after I bought it, the thermostat went. I did the preliminary troubleshooting myself by checking the temperature of the radiator hoses. I first brought it to Sears in Burlington, however after some investigation they quickly discovered that this job was more than they could handle (the thermostat on this car is under the intake manifold). Automation was up the street from where I worked at the time so I brought it to them. They understood the scope of the work, gave me a fair quote, did the work and also fixed a screw up that Sears created when reconnecting all of the hoses they disassembled when scoping the job.A few months later the engine light came on. Automation determined it was the throttle body assembly. Instead of just sourcing a new one and replacing it, Paul said he had a large amount of success rebuilding them. During the same visit I asked him to investigate a number of exhaust leaks I had, specifically one that was coming from the front of the vehicle. Paul found it in the flextube. Instead of ordering a new one, around $450, he offered to weld the hole up. Well, 30k miles later and still no problems. He saved me a pile of cash during this visit in parts, at least $600.I've found Automation does not upcharge on parts as much as other guys do (Swanson or Charles River). They always save the parts they remove from my car. If they try something and it doesn t work they don't charge me for it. The biggest reason why I go to these guys is that other garages actually break my car when they work on it.I've been back when other stuff breaks (car has about 130k miles on it now) and always get prompt, professional service.
