Consumer Comments for Mal's Servicenter

Consumer from EVERETT, MA

I have been fortunate in finding two reliable and trustworthy auto mechanic companies. This is one of them. They have been working on my vehicles since 2008. They also have Hyundai Specialists on staff, who are just as knowledgeable as those at dealerships. Their advice and integrity are top notch. I’ve never had to come back because they missed something or a repair didn’t work. They get it right the first time. The pricing structure is the best I’ve experienced. And needless to say, they are far cheaper than any Dealer mechanics.

My second go to service station. The only reason they are not first, is that since my job moved to a new location, they are too far away for me to get there and drop of my car and get into work in a timely manner. Otherwise, they are very knowledgeable. The even at least one specialist in repairing Hyundai vehicles, which is what I own. They've done quality work and saved me an enormous amount of money.
