Ataboys Auto Service

I went to Ataboys because of all their Great Reviews on Unilocal.I went for my inspection sticker which I had been told by Autofair Subaru that it would Fail because my breaks were so bad. Guess what happened? It Passed the Inspection! Alain asked me why I thought it would fail so I told him. He went back to check the breaks again and told me that I will have to have them done at some point but they are perfectly fine now. His quote was $ 1200 Less than other place. I can tell you how refreshing it is to find an Honest Mechanic who actually doesn’t charge a Ridiculous price. He also advised me that for my car, my timing belt and water pump would have to be done within the next 10,000 miles. I really appreciated him letting me know that because I had no clue. I am entirely Happy with the Professionalism of Alain and his great prices and knowledge. Great customer service is difficult to find these days but Ataboys provides that and so much More! Never going anywhere else.

Came here based on the reviews. Gotta admit, when I pulled up to the shop, I was a bit surprised. THIS is Ataboys? Don’t let looks deceive you, folks. The garage may seem a bit smaller than most, but Ataboys is as legit and professional as they come.
Alain and co may also be younger than most guys you’re used to dealing with, but they’re way more professional and honest than most guys twice their age.
You’re also gonna find a hard time beating their pricing, and throw in the fact that they dont seem to mind you bringing your own parts, and I gotta say you’d be nuts to throw money away anywhere else.
If you don’t wanna do the work yourself, get it done at Ataboys. I’m gonna be coming back here again and again, till I’m given a reason not to!

Great service, honest advice and fair prices! Went in for a synthetic oil change and tire rotation. $ 95 (very reasonable and slightly less or comparable to Jiffy Lube, etc) with all the fixin’s including fluid top offs and tire/​brake inspection. You need to make an appointment, but it’s quick (20−30mins tops in and out).
Owner is on-​site and actually working with the rest of the mechanics. He even chatted with me about some questions I had regarding future maintenance and at no time did he ever try to up-​sell me… it was genuinely helpful advice. As first impressions go, this was absolutely a refreshing experience.
I’ll definitely come back and would recommend this small but growing shop to anyone looking for an old-​school, non-​chain, trustworthy shop, and would highly recommend it for anyone (like myself) who relies on experience and knowledge of professionals to help me further understand the best ways to maximize my new car’s lifespan!

I needed a complete brake job rotors, pads everything it was going to be very costly. My husband needed the same thing for his car too. We were hit with both vehicles needing repairs at the same time for inspection/​registration time. They came in under our budget and had a fast turn around! Thank you Ataboys we will never go anywhere else! We also refer you to everyone :)

Visited several times. Fair price, owner is very nice very patient. Explain everything in detail, give good suggestions. I am satisfied with the services. I Will continue to use this machine shop.

11÷14÷15 Got the work done that I’d been holding off on and the truck. There were a couple of gaskets that had to be replaced rather than one along with an oil change and an antifreeze change. And the price was only higher than a previous rough quote by the price of the extra gasket.
Had the truck sitting around for several days before driving it again and there was this strange clicking/​tapping sound like someone had put a zip tie on the drive train or something. Stopped where we were meeting some family for dinner and had dinner, when we got back into the car the sound had gone away. But we were planning to do a road trip for Thanksgiving and to go to our cousin’s wedding shower 14 hours drive away so we wanted to make sure everything was okay with the sound.
11÷24÷15 So took the truck in and talked out the problem. With some help listening near the passenger side wheel well was able to hear the same sound but much more muted and normal. Had it explained that is the sound of the lifters which can be a big problem if something is wrong, but the sound had gone away. After talking it out a possibility was that having the vehicle sitting around in the cold soon after the oil change could have gotten the lifters a little stopped up causing the sound. Will be driving the truck around to make sure the sound doesn’t come back before the trip.
Again no charge for the quick consult and friendly service. Kind of like you’ve got a neighbor who knows way more about cars than you willing to give a listen to your car you can ask advice from. But at the same time professional and honest. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get work done in Manchester.

I had bodywork done here with an older gentleman. He offered to fix rust on passenger door. Said it would be $ 100.
I returned to pick up my car and he informed me the price would be $ 200.
He was very upset that I paid with a credit card. He wanted cash. Very shady behavior. Bait and switch con artist!

Called them to see if they could replace a headlight and the guy on the phone was totally unprofessional. When I got there they were quick at replacing the headlight and the price was reasonable.

We didn’t know who to call after a fender-​bender and we found Ataboy here on Unilocal.They had great reviews here, so we thought we would try them. We needed a quick repair to get back on the road on a Friday afternoon and these guys were happy to help — and the cost was MORE than reasonable! We would definitely go there again.

Customer Service is fantastic. I am new to the area and we all know how stressful finding an honest mechanic can be. The shop reviews speak for themselves ! I showed up over an hour early for an appointment to have an oil change and they took me right away. I was having a «noise» issue in my front end that was diagnosed FOR FREE. I was brought into the auto bay and shown where my brake pads were completely worn. The gentlemen were so friendly, accommodating and I was able to have a very promising, optimistic outlook on a stressful trip to the mechanic. I am very happy to have found this shop and will continue to use them for as long as I can !

Unilocal sent me to Ataboys and they were great. Alain was wonderful to work with and the price was fair. Ata Boy Ataboys.

Trustworthy! This is the only place I bring my vehicles… I’ve had random repairs, oil changes/​rotations, body work done, they even sold a car for me. A good trustworthy mechanic is hard to find… hopefully this makes it easier for you!

I needed to get my bumper replaced after a car accident left mine in two pieces. Looked up the reviews and saw great ratings for Ataboys and it’s half a mile from my apartment. Guys were friendly and gave me a ride back home because it was something like 8 degrees outside. Fixed my car incredibly quickly, also replaced my oil and thoroughly cleaned my car despite only charging me for a «quick detail.» It was ridiculously affordable and they did great work. This will be my autoshop for as long as I live in Manchester.

I came in to have a used car inspected before I purchased it. Alain was very helpful. He was honest and took the time to make sure everything was 100%. He found a few issues that needed to be addressed, and thanks to him, the dealership has agreed to make the repairs free of charge. Highly recommend.

Like Karin and other people who’ve been here before, I must say they are honest and cool people. Without unnecessary bs, they directly put stuff on the table and tell you what’s best for you. I read the reviews and came here hoping to get my car lil scuff mark wiped off. The owner (I guess) told me if he were me, he would diy and get the hubcap then put it on. It is so rare and precious to meet honest people like them. Pretty awesome experience!

I went here just to get a used car checked out before deciding to buy, and was super pleased that I did. Alain was very flexible about when I came in, and then discovered several issues with the car. He wrote them up for me to present to the seller, who agreed to fix them. He charged a totally reasonable fee for this (a fraction of I would have paid if the issues hadn’t been discovered until after I bought the car), and the whole process was very quick.
Very good experience!

I recently brought my truck in for some extensive repairs after reading some of the other reviews. After being told from another vendor that the cost would be exorbitant, I decided to drive it over for a second opinion. Alain was very fair, took a look, and gave me a verbal estimate. They fixed the truck in a timely fashion and did great work. Also, Rainn (who works the front desk) was extremely communicative and gave me a lift back home as well.
These folks are honest people who told me what was needed to be done, did good work, and were easy to work with. I have zero issue recommending them to anyone in southern NH looking for a fair price and good service. They didn’t try to upsell me or tell me what I didn’t need to know. A good experience!

I am now a paying customer and a very satisfied one at that! I LOVE this place. Alain and Rain are wonderful people who make you feel like family. Alain provides exceptional work and is very trustworthy and honest. I recently acquired a second hand car and I didn’t know when the last time the the transmission fluid was flushed so I had him do it while I went in for an oil change. Alain began to drain it and it was clean so he stopped. Alain showed me the transmission fluid and how clean it was and we decided together that I didn’t really need the service at this time. I was very impressed because if it was at another auto mechanic shop they would have just continued to change it even though it wasn’t necessary and then charge me for it because I had already agreed. I would have never known either way. I am very happy that I found this place. Alain will be my mechanic for as long as I live in Manchester and I recommend him to all of my friends.
Sincerely,
A VERY satisfied customer

I don’t live in Manchester, but based on my experience with these guys, if I did live there that is where I would take my car. I spent several days in the area helping line my young adult daughter up with a used vehicle. I can tell you these guys went the extra mile and that they were absolutely true to their word, even when it wasn’t comfortable or profitable. That is worth an awful lot in my book.

This guy is awesome — he is honestly one of the most honest mechanics around. Just like everyone else says — he understands that people don’t have money trees out in back yards — he is very reasonable and caring. I once referred a co-​worker of mine to him, and after looking at issue and actually troubleshooting vehicle — and rather than him pocketing the money — he took initiative to contact car dealership and found out car just went over mileage by a few miles and convinced dealership to do work on my co-​workers car that it was basically still under warranty… Like I said — honesty at it’s best!!!
