Alain is truly the best. He does amazing work and is incredibly honest. I trust him completely, because he never recommends work that isn't needed, never lies, always does top quality work.The most recent reason for my visit had to do with the better half's vehicle. Another place gave her a story about needing work done for rust on the underside of her car. I took it to Alain, because I trust him to give it to me straight. No work was really needed and he told me that; he could have given me a different story to make a buck, but he didn't. And that's why I always bring our vehicles to him. He's the best.

I thought this would be just another used car dealership that I had to be leery of. I did however find a vehicle that I was interested in and took the chance and purchased it.the owner explained that it did come with a warranty and if I had any issues to please reach out to him directly. Well wouldn't you know it I ended up having a problem.I honestly thought i was going to be stuck with the repair. But I contacted the owner and to my amazement he happily worked with my schedule around a busy holiday season to correct the problem. The owner is definitely a man of integrity and stands by his word. I look forward to doing business with him in the future and will happily recommend him to all my family and friends.Thank you again Ataboys for a great experience I now know that there is at least one dealership I can trust.

I moved to Manchester a few years ago and was recommended Ataboys by a coworker. Over the years I have also gone to other mechanics in the area (due to convenience) but always end up coming back to Ataboys. I now live a few towns away and still make a point to come here whenever my car needs work. Alain is a stand-up guy who doesn't overcharge for services or recommend unnecessary work like so many other mechanics. I completely trust his judgement on what needs to be done on my car and will continue to recommend him to anyone who asks!

Highly recommend coming to Ataboys. I had initially brought my car to get serviced somewhere else where they weren t able to determine the problem. I was then was recommended to come to Ataboys and so glad I did. They were able to diagnose the problem and fix the issue at a fair price. They were upfront and honest which I respected and Alan was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail so I knew what he was doing to fix the problem with my car. Will definitely only be going to them moving forward as nowadays it s hard to find a honest person to fix cars at a fair price.6/28/2023Brought my car in for an inspection and Alain was helpful with the issue that was going on with my car. With his help we were able to correct this and I was able to get my inspection sticker. With that being said any other place would have taken advantage with additional work that needed to be done but he is truly there for his customers to help correct the problem without screwing you over. Ataboys is a great shop and I highly recommend them!

I needed some work done to my truck to take a sticker. I shopped around some of the big name shops and got quotes from $2300 up to $3500. I was ready to bite the bullet and pay what I knew was a premium plus price, but before I did, I stopped by a locally owned and run shop that I drive by everyday, Ataboy's. And wow am I ever glad I did. He looked me in eyes because there wasn't anything that resembled a lie coming out of his mouth. All said and done I was out the door for $1300. I recommend them to anyone and everyone. Honesty and integrity are so hard to find unless you know a mechanic as a friend or relative. These guys have it in spades. I'll never go anywhere else.

An old friend recommended Alain from Atta boys a few months ago because he felt bad because other mechanic's have been taking advantage of my understanding for cars. And I'm very glad I listened to him, Alain has been nothing but honest and very good to me. He even walked me through what was wrong with my car over the phone and didn't make me feel stupid for asking questions. Very grateful these guys are local for me.

I bought an older car with 121k miles on it and the price was low enough that it seemed like a good deal. I needed an inspection sticker and figured the car probably needed some TLC. 2 blocks from where I live in Manchester, there is an Autobody shop named Ataboy's. They were close by so I decided to call them to set up an appointment. The gentleman told me he could take a look at it that same day if I could bring it in. That was a big surprise, given the wait times and typical run arounds that you hear about over and over again in this business. He was able to get my vehicle in the shop and diagnose every issue that the vehicle had in less than a hour, a 2006 mind you. The drive shaft was the biggest issue. The bushings were totally shot and made the vehicle dangerous to drive. Also he picked out that at some point the engine and transmission had been removed and very sloppily put back together. Loose motor mount bolts were discovered, improperly installed steering "linkage", I think he called it, that also made the vehicle dangerous. I can't believe how people can become pathologic liars just to earn a couple hundred dollars. My experience with Ataboy's has been the polar opposite. Even when I called I was greeted with "Thank you for calling Atatboy's. How can I help you today?" You could tell he was genuine and respectful. I bring that up because that is how every interaction that I had with them has gone. He is a man of his word and is more than fair on price. I ended up having them do several repairs on my vehicle and every time a part came in they literally had it installed the same day and as I mentioned they always charged far less than the average quoted price online. Everything they did they showed me the part that was replaced. They explained to me, in basic terms what they did and why they did it. I cross referenced the information online and it all matched up with what he showed and explained to me, to a T. My older car now runs great and I didn't spend half of what I would have if I brought it to a chain Autobody shop. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. An honest mechanic that does great work for a great price isworth their weight in gold.

Alan was quick to address and remedy an unforeseen problem with our purchase of a Toyota sienna. He went the extra mile, and allowed us to have our local mechanic do the repair as we are 300 miles from his shop.Having many positive reviews helped me to be less fearful after hearing a high whine from differential. Communicated with him, got an estimate, and he took care of everything. It was a win-win win for us. Thank you Alan

Alan is the man. Figured out the problem and did what was required while keeping me informed. Could have crushed me but was upfront and honest. Saved me money and potentially my life! Great work, strongly recommended, and built a faithful customer out of me!

Excellent professional service, Allen is great to deal with & super welcoming, most importantly HONEST!! He is true to his word, good quality car service and very accommodating. We had a bad issue with another mechanic in MA who did not complete the auto repair, Allen fixed the problem & was 100% transparent with the repairs!There's nothing more important than honesty & integrity in the auto service industry and Ataboys (Allen) owned it. It was a pleasure doing business with him and 100% will be going back for our family's car needs!

while shopping for a first car for my daughter, I must have visited a half dozen different dealers , ranging in all sizes including the mega dealers with a few hundred vehicles, had a specific kind of vehicle in mind and set budget to work with, came across ataboys on line because they had a car that fit the criteria, well after a handful of wasted trips to other dealers it was to my pleasant surprise that the car at ataboys was exactly as it was described on line, got there and met Alain the owner, very low pressure guy, honest, integrity, which is refreshing in this day and age, he let me take the car for a test drive by myself, so I had all the time I needed without any pressure, so after a pretty thorough test drive I got back to the lot, and even though the asking price was extremely fair and reasonable for the car I made a lower offer on it, to my surprise he agreed and we made the deal, picked up the car earlier today and already put a few hundred miles on it and couldn t be happier with it! So don t let appearances fool you, this little hole in the wall dealer is first class, Alain who owns and operates it is first class! Worth a look if you re in the market for a used vehicle or just a local hometown shop to service your current vehicle. Thanks Alain, you made a teenage girl very happy and have a new customer for life!

Slid my car into a telephone pole and Ataboy s was awesome. I worked with Alan the entire way and he was great. He was honest, trustworthy, gave me multiple options and suggestions that helped me save some money. They did a great job on the repairs and it was done quickly. He communicated with me the whole way and went out of his way to be helpful. Will definitely be back for any future work.

My favorite mechanic retired and closed his shop, so I was looking for a new honest auto mechanic. Read the reviews on Google and gave Ataboy a try. Brought my 14 years old car in for inspection, it was fast and easy. They did not pressure sell me on potential repair. Fast, simple and straight forward. Will definitely return for future repair needs.

Got my first ride from Allen. Could have afforded something more but didn't push me in any direction. No b.s. all business. Completley honored above and beyond the warranty agreement. Light went on shortly after purchase and he did everything possible and Than some to fix the problem. Havnt had another issue since. Completley truthfull across the board. Absolute man of his word. In 5 years or so I'll be going back.

When I needed my spark plugs replaced I tried Ataboys. Alain was super helpful and showed me exactly what needed to be done and explained why. I appreciated that he took the time to show me what was happening. So when my car broke down yesterday he was my first call. He spent all day on my car. Open to close. Trying to work miracles and save me from having to buy a new throttle body. He did everything he could and he didn't stop working on it until he found the solution. He kept me in the loop. Showed and explained to me what was happening. I am so thankful for him. He took me in on short notice. He saved me from spending thousands of dollars. And he didn't take me to the cleaners for the time he spent on my vehicle. Very very happy customer! Thank you!!!

I brought my 83 Mustang GT to Ataboys to get a front and rear main seal replaced, as well as a clutch/flywheel replacement. Rain was instrumental in ensuring peace of mind while the car was there. She called me occasionally with updates and was so pleasant! Alan and his team showed much enthusiasm working on my car. To me, that's superb customer service. I will absolutely bring my car (or truck) back to Ataboys for all of my services needs. Thanks so much guys!

Alain and Brian are top notch! From the quick response to questions about the vehicle we bought, to staying open late to work with our schedule, and then dealing with our human errors. Our new to us car is amazing and was exactly as advertised. It is incredibly rare to immediately feel comfortable when spending large amounts of money, the guys at Ataboys did just that. Every question we asked received an honest answer, and any concerns we had were immediately addressed. I strongly recommend Ataboys. Thank you again Alain and Brian we love the Q7! You will be the 1st place we go to in the future!
