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.

Bret's has helped us in so many ways! They take care of our van that is in the care of our college student while we live 4k miles away. Even across all the miles, we trust Bret's completely!

Wish they would have told me the need for synthetic oil. My 24.99 coupon wasn't any good for that oil change. 19.99 for a tire rotation and oil change with synthetic. 71.50. Really. I like these folks but jees. My husband used to do the job Tracy does and we know how the prices get inflated. So frustrating.

I’ve been coming here since I moved to Gardner almost two years ago and they are wonderful. Their pricing is fair and I’ve received excellent customer service every time, even after I’ve forgotten my appointment, twice!!! I won’t take my vehicle anywhere else.

Brought my 2005 Tahoe to replace the speedometer cluster and they did a thorough and reasonably priced replacement. They provided an estimate 2 months ago and kept to the estimate price. I've brought my Tahoe to them for other major services and I've been impressed with how they do a video front to back to let you know of any issues or if all looks good. I have some minor maintenance things on the list that they'll be taking care of soon as well. As for me. I plan on having them be the first that I go to for repairs. Would highly recommend them.

Been coming here since I moved to Gardner and they take care of all 4 of our vehicles. Jeff and Tracy are excellent!!! They are very thorough and professional!!! The technicians are top notch!!! The videos they record and send to you to show any issues they see or just repairs they did are awesome!!! They sent me a video during a oil pan gasket change just to show me the condition of the internal parts of my engine because they knew I wouldn’t be able to see it after they finished. Needless to say that’s above and beyond!!! They even offer a shuttle service!!! Bret’s Autoworks entire operation is 1st class!!!
