I am so glad I found this place. I don’t like going to the large dealerships to get maintenance on my car so I called Hometown auto and had a great experience. They were very respectful. The job was done quickly and it was nowhere near the price I had been paying at other places. In addition I had, experienced driving through floodwater about two months ago and called them to find out if my car should be seen for possible damage. They were again so helpful, understanding and offered for me to come by the next day so they could check my car out. I highly recommend Hometown Auto! I will be back.

I brought my car to Hometown for the first time at a friends recommendation and it definitely will not be my last. With just an oil change my car is running better then when the dealership does it. They were efficient, friendly, and I was in and out quick. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a mechanic who is honest with their cars. For the short time that I was there, it was very clear to me that they have repeat customers who trust them 100%. I will surely be back.

I've been going to Hometown Automotive for some seven years, for all my cat maintenance needs. These people run a great shop. Their prices are fair, they deal with you well, they're honest, and definitely the crux of good automotive service: great work

These guys have helped me out with a few things. Prices always good work is done quickly. Straightforward and not trying to upsell you stuff you don’t need.

Unlucky.
I’ve got a check engine light on, and the AWD light on as well.
My car was stalling, it’s a 2016 RAV4.
I took my car to this place (you usually avoid the dealership, since they might overcharge you for extra stuff and labor).
I’ve got a $1700 quote here, which sounded crazy, even for a rav4.
Then I took my car to the Toyota dealership, where I was told that a bunch of sensors (that Hometown Automotive told me I needed to replace those), were simply not plugged properly by the last person who did service in the car (these are Toyota’s word).
Which I got charged 1.100 to fix all the parts that needed to be replaced, including labor.
That was my first time bringing my car at this place, I would not recommend, I’m glad I took it back to Toyota to get my car fixed.

My 15 year old Hyundai Elantra has been very reliable for last 175,000 miles. 2 days back it would not start at all. I panicked. Called couple of places but they didn’t have appointments for 1 week. I called Hometown auto after looking at google reviews. The guy said he can look into within 1 day. I got tow service to get my car to the shop. Next day I received a call saying that “shifter cable” needs to be replaced I.e. gear transmission is not working properly. I got a quote. I didn’t get forced to get it done or bad language - just the great suggestion to change and to be careful while parking on the slopes. I went to pick up my car and I asked for bill. The guy, Sal, said no payment. I asked are you sure, no payment. He said yes. I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed. Quick and awesome diagnosis. My first time visit to hometown in stoneham from my Reading town. I hope to go back to this repair shop again in future. Thank you Sal!

My family has been bringing our cars to Sal and the guys at Hometown for probably 25+ years now. There really is no mechanic around that’s as fair and honest as HA. We can’t thank them enough for all that they’ve done to keep our cars running safely and well for all these years.

If you need ANY auto repair, are looking for an honest, reliable mechanic and enjoy paying reasonable prices Road Runner Automotive in Cedar Rapids, IA is where you need to go!! Recently, I took my Subaru Forester into a chain service garage for an oil change and was informed, by the mechanic, that my left front wheel bearing needed repair! That seemed unlikely as Craig, at Road Runner, replaced them about a year ago. Turns out that someone (at the other garage) had loosened a part a smidge which, had I not checked with Craig, could have cost me about $700!! Instead, Craig tightened things up, checked my vehicle thoroughly and sent me on my way free of charge. It is challenging to find a mechanic with integrity and awesome skills (he specializes in Subarus) who also puts the customer ahead of profits!! Thank you to Craig and Jim! Going forward I will be bringing all my car issues to Road Runner Automotive and you should too!!

First time I've ever enjoyed going for an oil change - speedy service, low prices, and friendly staff. Couldn't recommend this shop enough!

HomeTown is great and the only place I go to when my Trailblazer needs some tcl. This time it was an AC motor and a new wheel bearing that she needed. The quality of service is always top notch and expeditious. Thanks Sal!
Update: it's 2024 now and I've been taking my 2022 Toyota 4Runner and my wife's Camary to Sals instead of Toyota. Cars have changed but same on time trusted quality.

Hometown Auto was great. I asked if they could give me a sticker he did right away. They're all polite, well mannered, a great place to go

These guys are great. Have had a couple of excellent experiences and they are my go-to for sure now. Fair and honest - I can tell. They are reliable and knowledgeable and prices are more than fair for what they do (should be higher but I'm not complaining). Highly recommend.

Every time I go here I receive the best service. Everyone is warm and welcoming, fair prices and fast service. Even while waiting for a quick inspection sticker I've noticed how they go above and beyond for each and every customer. I feel so lucky to have these guys right around the corner!
