Hit a pothole on my way to work, was able to get in quick after a short call, they checked my tire, pumped it back up and sent me on my way. Super kind people, super fast work and didn't even charge me! If I ever need assistance while at work or near this place again I know exactly who I am going to. Amazing place and always better to go to a local shop than a chain.

Very good experience getting my brakes and power steering repaired here. Owner was very nice and took the time to explain everything to me. Price is very reasonable and was able to take care of my car in one day with short notice.

The "4.9/5.0" review on Google does not mean they are professional and won't charge you more. It took them 20 minutes to plug a hole in a tire, and they charged $30 for that.

Highly recommend. I was driving in to Waltham from out of town when I started having issues with my vehicle. I called to see if they would be able to fit me in to their schedule over the following 3 days and it was done the next day. Very nice and professional, and it was evident that they cared about getting me back on the road in time and safely!

This place is the best. Fast, trustworthy, and friendly! I've brought my car here for oil changes, tires, body work, electrical issues and everyone is always very helpful in getting it taken care of quickly and with no surprises. Absolutely recommend.

I highly recommend Peter's Auto Repair! My experience with them was excellent. My dad is a mechanic but lives in Indiana. I always ask for his opinion when getting car work done. Peter gave me the same advice as my dad so I know they are honest and don't take advantage of women who might not be car savvy. If you need car work done Peter and his son are the way to go! And if you happen to have time for food the pizza spot next door is delicious!Service: Auto maintenance

I can't say enough about how lovely these guys are at Peter's! They are a real neighborhood repair shop. I had a nail in my tire and i called and they said come right over, I was there in 10 mins and they repaired the hole right off, free of charge!!! And they were so nice and friendly and were happy to let my kids watch. I've used them for oil changes as well, always pleasant and very fair. Will continue to return, and definitely recommend !Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

A mechanic's mechanic! Extraordinary service from Peter, who is Very professional, Thorough, Personable, Reliable, Thoughtful and Good natured. My car needed an oil change, and for the past two days wouldn't start in the cold. The original starter was bad. Worried about driving into the city for work, I called Peter's Auto Repair on a Saturday. Peter picked up and asked how far I was from the shop. He was on his way out the door, but hearing that I needed the repair to get to work, he kindly offered to look it over. In no time he had diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, changed the oil, installed the new starter, and inspected the vehicle for any other problems, informing me of what to anticipate at the next oil change. I enjoyed talking with him. He's wise, knows cars, is honest, approachable, and has a great sense of humor. Would highly recommend his shop to anyone for their car problems. Six stars!Services: Battery, Oil change

I am so happy I discovered Peters Auto Repair. I found Peter and his son back in 2020 when I moved to Waltham. I was tired of getting ripped off by commercial auto shops and having terrible experiences with every auto shop I went to. So, I went on the hunt for something local. Peter's Auto Repair has helped me with various minor repairs and some major ones. Every-time I am there, they make sure that my tires have air and the oil is changed or topped off, especially if i say i am going on a big trip. They always make sure that the car looks good before heading out. For reference I have a small 2010 Toyota with 200,000 on it. It's still kicking and doing great thanks to Peters Auto. I am also never felt to feel like I am being ripped off. They even show me what they fix. Peters Auto has made me feel that if I am ever having car troubles, that I have someone I can go to to get help from without feeling the anxiety of being ripped off, or sold something I don't need. Peters Auto is genuine, and I wish more people knew about these guys because they are very kind and do great work.Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil change

Peter s delivers extremely fast, low cost auto repair. They replaced my starter and rear brakes in under a day and with no appointment. I highly recommend them for all auto repair

One of my friends referred me to this place, and I would say these mechanics are the best I've ever seen. They can give you professional advice and keep your cost as low as possible. I live in Boston but I will be the regular customer from now on. I don't mind taking a 20 minutes drive to hand over my car to nice and decent people like them!!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

We re traveling from out of town and our car broke down. This family owned auto body repair shop fixed my car and we were able to get on with our vacation. Wish we lived closer so we could come more often.Services: Engine repair, Oil changeServices: Engine repair, Oil change

My mini has a reversing light issue. A different mechanic in the same town wants to charge me $115 for diagnose, even he knows this is a reversing light issue. This pushed me to Peter. He directly helped on the issue without any diagnose fee. Specifically, he changed the bulb and charged me 0 dollar and also smoothed my window. I will definitely find Peter again if my cars have some mechanical issues. Strongly recommended :-)Service: Electrical repair

Best in town. Car needed a new cat converter and Peter+team worked on it right away. Good pricing and work done, picked up my vehicle the next day as promised.

Called the shop in the morning. Told them that at least one of the brake lines was leaking. The person at the other end asked me to bring it in, but they couldn't promise a same day turn around. I wasn't expecting one either. Dropped the car off a couple of hours later, and was told that it'll be ready by the afternoon of the following day. Received a phone call a couple off hours later informing me that the car was already fixed! Went and picked it up, and really enjoyed talking to Peter. He showed me where the brake lines had rusted, and how they had repaired them following the state code. Talked cars in general. Overall, an excellent experience. And yes, the brakes are very much fixed. At the end of the day the quality of the job is the litmus test, and I couldn't detect any issues. They just a acquired a new regular customer. Oh, and the cost was within my expectations as I had done some research. Definitely honest folks.

i took my car here at 4p on weekday (an hour before they closed) to have them check out a noise with my breaks. I wasn't expecting to get it fixed that day, but they took the car in right away and replaced my breaks, callipers, topped all my fluids and an oil change on the spot. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you for the great service and for honest prices. Highly recommend.

10/10! My car sputtered and died on a Friday night. I called Peter's at 7:30 Saturday morning asking if I had it towed, could they please take a look on Monday? Tow truck dropped my car off there at 10:30, by 12:30 ON SATURDAY (!) they had fixed my compressor, belt, and replaced my brakes (which was a much needed add-on per the inspection I almost failed...8 months ago). They were awesome and I would definitely go back (but hope that I don't have to).Services: Brakes, A/C installation & repair

Super honest repair shop. Took in my old car, looked at it free of charge, and told me it wasn t worth fixing. Other shops would definitely have tried to get me to pay for some repairs that would not be in my long term interest

On my commute home a few months ago, my car's hood started smoking on I-95 and I was alone and completely terrified. I called Peters' and they looked at my car, immediately found the problem, AND fixed another problem that a mechanic at another shop had caused a few weeks prior. I was in and out in an hour. I will never go anywhere else again.

Super friendly and pricing is fair. They inspected a car I was going to buy from a dealer. They took me on short notice and walked me thru everything they were inspecting. Their shop is really tight but they make it work and are very efficient!

Awesome repair shop. My car broke down and I had it towed to the shop after hours but Peter was there and he said he d take a look. He fixed the car by 11am the next day, on New Year s Eve, and showed me all the broken parts when I arrived. Honest guys who will tell it like it is. Would definitely go backServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnosticServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

Found a screw in my tire, so I called Pete's Auto and they booked me right away. I brought my truck in and they took care of the issue in 10 minutes, from start to finish. Not only were they very competent at their job, but also provided amazing customer service. These guys are for real, will definitely be back!

Excellent service. Small shop owned by family father and son, and they do a darn good job. Very fair, if you don't have to spend, they will tell you. Very good people. Unlike shops that do auto work and inspection and sell gas, these guys don't do anything of that sort. Just fix your car for the best price possible. Believe me I shopped around before I wanted to get my car fixed, and it saved me close to $500 by getting it fixed at Peters.Highly recommended for these hard working guys! - Richie

For the last couple of years we have been using these guys for our family cars, a Toyota Sienna and Buick Enclave. Professional and friendly they have always delivered as promised. Quality of work is unquestionable and there is always a clear layout of expectations.What sets these guys apart is their customer service, they really are invested in being the neighborhood mechanics. Having used their services several times with different vehicles I am delighted to offer my personal recommendation.

We highly recommend Peter's Auto Repair! We were on our way out of town and had a flat tire. After changing to our spare, we needed the tire repaired. After calling several tire stores and stopping at another, we were told it would be several hours before our tire could be plugged. We called Peter, he said bring it in and we were in and out of there in about 20 minutes. They plugged the hole, put the tire back on the car and didn't even want to charge us! We left a large tip and we were on our way! Two very nice men! Go see them for your car maintenance and repairs!!

I went to this shop after reading reviews on google and found owner very friendly and nice.I giving low stars because prices are not transparent. Outside the shop there is add posted showing Breaks,pads and Rotors replacement car for $289 (approximately) with free oil change. I asked twice for price before giving my car and when went to pick up the car after 4 hours bill came out $580. When asked for why high price, owner mentioned price outside is for front tires only and not for all 4 tires. I was very disappointed. On top of this i was not given any receipt for the car work instead was told to come next week to collect receipt. I have never seen this kind of response anywhere else before. On name of receipt i only got credit receipt for which i paid and on back of credit receipt it is written by pen Oil Change due.I don't think i will go back there ever again even if i have free oil change. If i have to spend $580, i will better go to showroom and get replacement car for that time as well.I am not sure if this is regular occurrence or just happened to me but please double check the prices before giving car to the shop.

I called Peter s on a Saturday morning after Autozone told me I needed a new battery and alternator. Peter s told me to drive on over and within five minutes of me being there, told me I just needed a new battery, not the alternator. He installed a new battery right away and my car was good to go. I found my go-to mechanic in Waltham! I highly recommend Peter s.Service: Battery
