Artisan Automotive

I have never had such of a good experience at a mechanic. Cliff and Boomer are honest and are not out to overcharge or rip you off. I’ve been down the road of paying thousands out of desperation to get back on the road later to find out I was ripped off (not a good feeling). You won’t have to worry about that here. I’m a female, been treated horribly by mechanics all my life. These guys are fair and have great prices, where I know I won’t be left in destitute because of a small noise and I feel confident driving an older car which saves me a fortune on car payments and insurance.

Simple and straight this is the place you want to go to take your car. They go out of their way to give you excellent service while never ever over charging. I have always been extremely satisfied with repairs as have Family and friends that I have recommended there. So glad to be done with overpriced auto dealer service centers!

Boomer and Cliff at Artisan Automotive are talented, fair, friendly and honest mechanics. I cannot say enough great things about them. They always take the time to explain my car issues and what my options are. If you need your vehicle fixed at a fair price from someone you can trust, definitely go to Artisan Automotive!

I’ve been going to Boomer and Cliff at Artisan Automotive for years now for a variety of reasons, and I cannot say enough about how great these guys are. Friendly, reliable, fast, honest, and always looking for ways to save their customers money. While other mechanics may feel that the best way to turn a profit is to squeeze as much money out of each job as is ethically possible, the guys at Artisan seem to know that saving customers money builds loyalty, and loyalty makes for better business.
If trust is a concern for you when selecting a mechanic, Artisan won’t let you down. Cliff and Boomer are genuinely great guys who consistently go out of their way to help people. Down to earth and always a pleasure to deal with. I consider myself a pretty good judge of character, and I’ll tell you, these guys are not out to scam anybody in any way, shape, or form. They treat their customers like friends, and what more could you ask for from a mechanic?
If Unilocal would let me, I’d give them six stars.

One thing I hate about moving is finding a new good mechanic. From previous experience, half of them seem to really enjoy milking every minute of that hourly labor cost. Cliff and Boomer are neither of these two stereotypical mechanics. I had quite a few pressing matters (for me at least – check engine light comes on freak out fest ensues).
When I took it down there (on a number of occasions, mind you) they did a complete look over and made suggestions off what my car needed, not what their wallets wanted. Another thing that really impressed me about Artisan was how flexible they were with taking in my car (number of times being an emergency).
This isn’t your repair shop that will turn you upside down and shake you until every last penny falls out of your pocket – unlike previous repair shops I had been a patron of. Instead find fair prices, expert workmanship, and advice.

Service with a smile! These guys are the best. I was in town and had car trouble. I know nothing about cars but knew I needed help — and fast. Girls always hear nightmare stories about mechanics taking advantage of them and their lack of knowledge, but the team here (especially Cliff) went out of his way to explain what was wrong and the simple, inexpensive part that was needed. He understood that I needed to get back on the road as soon as possible (as I am from out of town) and made sure I was on my way quickly and seamlessly. Really down-​to-​earth, honest, hard-​working guys here — a rare find, indeed!

These guys are awesome! I’ve used them for years. They are always looking to save us money… by giving us buying options like factory parts/​vs/​3rdParty for parts. They stick to their estimates like glue, also, and the prices are very reasonable. Best thing is they are perfectly honest, and guaranty their work&parts. Extremely friendly, too.
What else can I say?

If you find a great car repair shop, you’re torn between wanting to tell the entire world and keeping it a secret, since the real deal is so hard to find. Artisan is the real deal. Cliff and Boomer are not only VERY good at what they do, but they have the two rarest qualities in repair guys: they’re dead honest and incredibly fair about pricing. My wife and I have brought our cars to them for years, and every single time, without fail, they do what they say they’ll do, they tell us what does NOT need to be done, and their fees are comparable or cheaper than anyone else around. I wouldn’t take my car to anyone else, and you shouldn’t either.
By the way, the address is listed as Brown street, but they’re really at the corner of Acton and Concord Streets in Maynard.
