\r \r The owner George is friendly and funny but the other employees are quite unfriendly if not rude. No one understands or speaks English well except George, and when you call...

When my car was mangled in an accident I had it towed here not knowing anything about Fresh Pond Mobil. I was very wary and kept trying to check on prices. But they were truly not taking advantage of me. They always offered a lower priced alternative, and they had my car good as new in no time. An honest place. more

Be Extreme Careful in dealing with them, You can't imagine how they will defect your car on purpose while checking your minor stuff, and you will never be out the loop to pay what you should never have to pay at the first hand, and your car will be danged permanently, Trust me or trust them, but don't be neutral, do yourself a big favor. more

I thought this was a fair price given that they diagnosed the problem correctly and repaired it quickly. In addition, most people don't realize that an additional job of the radiator is to cool the automatic transmission fluid(there are 4 lines total running in and out of the radiator, 2 for the engine and 2 for the transmission). So the repair can take some effort and would require that you lift the car to get underneath it. Not having the equipment to lift the car and not having to deal with coolant and transmission fluids was worth the the additional $145 that I paid to FPM.\r \r People need to be smart consumers. If you go to any place with a big question mark on your face, you're going to end up paying more. If you're an educated consumer and can communicate with the proprietor, you will do okay. more

I had a very positive experience with their repair shop. I have a 1997 Honda Civic, automatic transmission, with over 300,000 miles on it. My car has been overheating the past week. When overheating, the anti-freeze would boil over, requiring that I periodically top it off every other day with coolant. After doing some research online, I concluded that the problem is an inefficient/old radiator that needs to be replaced. I found one at Autozone for $120, thinking that I would put it in myself. Driving to work one day, I almost nearly didn't make it. The car was overheating badly and required that I fix the problem ASAP.\r \r I drove to FPM. They also diagnosed it as a radiator problem(I'm glad we agreed) and quoted me $265 to install it(parts and labor). Diagnosis and repair took a little less than 2 hrs. more

The things I appreciate are small - it's easy to drop the car off and to get work scheduled, when my car has a problem they give me a ride home, they write their quotes down for me when asked, and Eli always shows me the areas fixed and explains what he did. I've never felt pushed to do anything overpriced or unnecessary. I had a tree fall on my car in last year's nightmare of a snowstorm and they quickly sent the tow truck to my house, they worked seamlessly with the insurance company. more

Eli has always been very straight forward with me, telling me what really needs to be done on the car and what can wait, does the job quickly and has always been fair with pricing. He's both knowledgeable and respectful. more

I actually just had a great experience with Elie and Joseph. The transmission on my Saturn completely went, literally, with a bang, and all my fluid leaked out of the huge crack in the case. It was Sunday afternoon, and AAA gave me a free tow to a place near my house that was actually open: Fresh Pond Mobil. more

Good work 5/16/2012

I've taken my car to Fresh Pond Mobil for more than five years--chiefly for inspections, rarely for any other kinds of repairs. I've found the work reliable, fast, and not expensive. I really don't understand the negative reviews posted here. Necessary, reliable automobile repairs are simply not cheap unless your mechanic is a relative! Eli and his workers do good work that I rely on to keep my car safely running. more

Eli and his crew are honest 5/4/2012

Eli and his crew are honest, respectful and cost me about half of what I would spend at the Saab dealership. Further, they explain everything to me and show me exactly why a repair in necessary. They even give me a lift home if they need to keep the car for several hours! What's up with you negative people? This place is great and I would not go anywhere else! more

Fresh Pond Mobil did a good job 5/1/2012

Fresh Pond Mobil did a good job. I know, I know. She has gotta to be kidding!!!!! I had a fuel pump replaced about three or for weeks ago. Yesterday the car would not turn over. I called Eli at Fresh Pond and he said he will take care of it. My car was just delivered to me via flet bed tow. So ..........I think that was good business and he wants to keep a good customer. more
