We have been using Bret's for a few years. They are fantastic. I have young drivers who are just learning all the ins and outs of vehicle care and maintenance and they are very patient with them and the project cars we bring in. My son has an older car that needs some TLC and he attempts some repairs himself but others require a specialized touch. Most recently, his car was dying constantly. Bret's was great at diagnosing and working with him on his options. I truly believe they can fix anything. Great service! No Pressure! Bret's is Honest and for me that is a big deal. Thanks for Everything!

Bret’s Autoworks save the day for me! I came in from out of town only to have a belt and tensioner fail on my truck. I called Bret’s on a recommendation from a friend that lives in Gardner, I called Monday morning right as they were opening and told them what had happened, they had me drop it off and said they would do their best to get it in. To my surprise they were able to verify the problem and contacted me that afternoon with the results and provided a quote. They had to get the parts order, long story short by Tuesday morning they had called to let me know my truck was ready. Amazing customer service and very friendly and professional. I would give a 10+ rating if it was an option, I will definitely be a returning customer when I’m in need of auto repairs!

Darrell, We are so glad we could be of help. And thanks much for the 10 rating! Your friends at Bret's Autoworks

I’ve been trusting Bret’s with my vehicles for over two years, even though for most of that time I lived out of state—I’d wait until I came home to visit to have them do repairs. First with my pickup and now with my new (used) SUV. Most recently, I went in for an oil change and was concerned because I’d seen some oil leakage in my garage. They discovered it was just a bad gasket and I was out of there with no major issues, the problem solved, and a coupon that reduced the price. Tracy is the best—she’s nice and informative and never condescending. I’m never taking my vehicle anywhere else.

Jessica, thanks so much for trusting us to take care of your vehicles.
