I took my 2008 Chevy suburban to 2 other shops including Firestone complete auto care. Firestone even went as far as recommending me to south shore. Dropped my suv of there thinking of an outrageous cost this was gonna be for me. Suprisinly was the complete opposite. There are super nice very communicative and the work done was actually very very very affordable. Will give 10 stars if could. Will for sure take any further car issues to them.

They not only provide excellent service with fair prices but they truly care about their customers. I had just dropped my son off at college and was ready to make the over 1000 mile trip home when my van started making a loud sound. The owners took me under their wings, got me in quickly, and fixed my van so I could safely make it back home. Thank you for all you did. I will be forever grateful. As soon as my son has a car I know he'll be in good hands taking it to South Shore.

Took my F250 in with serious electrical issues requiring a new Body Control Module. The owner took care of the situation and I was able to drive out with a working vehicle at a reasonable price. Would recommend.

I told the lady on the phone that I am not aware if itβs not bulb or the wiring and explained what the headlight would do. I told her I would drop it off to the shop and leave it there overnight, which I did. The following day she called saying itβs the bulb and gave me the price to fix it. I have ordered my own bulbs online but unfortunately they werenβt arriving on time before I was taking my car out of town on a trip. So I specifically informed her that I would be by to grab my car either that night, or the following day and Iβd return her when the bulbs was in. I pull up after they had closed and my car wasnβt outside. A middle aged white guy I seen coming outside and I asked him about my car. He said itβs inside with the front bumper off. That isnβt an issue because I know you have to do that to reach my bulbs on my car, but I told him βI called yesterday saying I was coming back to get my carβ¦β He said he had to take it off in order to know if it was the fuse or bulb. But again, I understand that, yet the lady on the phone did not say yall was going to take it off. She already gave the p

They have worked on our transport bus several times. The owner and staff is very nice and helpful. The prices are fair and the work is timely. I recommend them to anyone needing work done on a vehicle! Also love getting to hang with the shop dog!
