I was travelling with my ten-year-old car from Canada. Thanks for all the comments, so I decided to book an appointment with Friendly Fred s. In an hour, they changed my oil and headlight light bulb and then fixed the clogged windshield fluid line. The price was very friendly. Every customer who came through the door seemed to know them for decades. They were very professional speedy mechanics. Thank you for the services, and I highly recommend them.

Recently bought a car from a family friend and took it to Friendly Fred's on their recommendation I'm more than happy with their service. I had to drop it off after hours because we have odd schedules at home and someone has to be here with our little monster, they were great about corresponding over the phone while working on my car and after a couple days work, got everything I asked for taken care of without any trouble. Very family friendly establishment and I would recommend this garage to anyone.

We were traveling half way on a 6 hour ride when we had a car issue. Bill was awesome. He got us fixed up and on our way. The pricing was more than fair and they certainly were friendly.

My first experience with Fred was with my old Subaru Outback. Several other garages in the area could not get the brakes to work right. I was new to the area and kept asking people for suggestions for other garages. The guys at Fred's finally got it working right again. They are honest and competent and reasonably priced. I have been going there ever since that first visit. You can find honest people and you can find reasonably priced services but competent is pretty rare these days.

This is one of the best and quickest service center that I have been to! The owner (I believe) has been quick and attentive. I have visited this place 2 times in last 2 years and the experience has been similar. I visited for getting my insurance visual inspection and he got it done right away with minimal delays. The below picture caught my eye which was hanging inside the shop..

Honest service and very reasonable. Takes a lot of pride in his business. Fred's is a very down to earth home town mechanic. He has always done us well. Will definitely return when needed.

Fred and Crew are Great! I pulled into Work last Monday and received a large bolt in My front left tire ! I did not realize what the noise was at the time but quickly found out when I heard a loud thumping on My home for lunch. I found where it was and waited until lunch was over to inspect. The tire had. Not lost any pressure so I decided to make an appt. With My regular garage for after work. ON my way back to work I heard it pop out and realized I had seconds before I was stranded. Luckily I went the side road back to work because when it popped out I was about 1/4 of a mile from Fred's. I pulled in and within minutes I was on My way back to work thanks to Fred offering a ride . He said to call in a bit for a diagnosis and I did. He said his Guy could fix it! Everyone was courdiose and knowledgeable. Thank You Fred and Crew!

After a terrible experience and being turned away from B&W towing because they didn't want to take GEICO photo inspection pictures due to the snow, I called Friendly Fred's for their help. Fred answered the phone and said bring the car right over and in less than 10 mins, he had my pictures taken and I was happily on my way. I was only in town for this one day to help my dad with his car, so being that Fred was happy to help me, meant the world! He is very straight forward and very nice! I highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Professional and skilled mechanics, completely genuine people. We have had our vehicles serviced at Friendly Fred's for YEARS. Multiple vehicles serviced and repaired, 1994 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel, 2010 and 2011 Honda CRVs, 2010 Toyota Prius, 1995 Jeep Cherokee, 2004 Volkswagon Jetta. Fred, Larry and company have always diagnosed and fixed the problem(s) efficiently, never anything more that didn't need fixing, and certainly never less than needed fixing. These are guys that you can trust, and we all know there are guys out there that you can't. Can't say enough good things about these guys and the work they do in their garage. They will always have our business, and I think that they deserve yours too.
