I went today expecting an oil change and new air filter. To my surprise, (I’m assuming the owner) told me I only need an air filter, and not an oil change. I am an extremely low mile driver. As a result, and using Mobil 1 oil, my mileage was so low, even after missing the prescribed required time to change the oil (if using regular oil I would need the oil change), the oil was still good. Now, the bottom line is this…..they could have changed it, charged me, and I wouldn’t had known the difference. Honesty…..something you don’t see much in a business anymore. While sitting there, the owner actually assisted a walk-in with an issue, and actually recommended a different garage to fix it! This is the kind of business I will continue to frequent….and I highly recommend that you do the same. They are busy, busy, and may not be able to do things while you wait, but take the time to schedule an appointment, or drop off the car….you won’t regret it.

I was very lucky to find such a great garage! My rear differential exploded inside itself while I was on a trip. I was given a great loaner car and was able to complete my getaway while they repaired my vehicle. The price was exactly as quoted. They were very professional and nice. They treated me like I would be a repeat customer even though I dont live in the same state. I highly recommend this garage!

I had my NH state inspection done at Central Park Garage. They did a very thorough job. They gave me a report of things that they recommended I do that included pictures of what they found and an estimate of the cost of the repairs. I thought the price of the estimate was very reasonable. I will definitely advise others to use this garage.

Always on the up and up. They saved me $400+ dollars when another local place told me I needed new rear brakes. After a free brake inspection I was told the brakes were still good for a while longer, with a full report on my vehicle’s condition including photos. Nice to have a mechanic you can trust!

My family and I have long used Central Park. They are honest, above all else. They do good work, they’re efficient, and their prices are reasonable. They also take the time to explain things so I can understand what my car needs and why. I recommend them 100%. I’ve been other places but once we started going to them, that’s where we’ve stayed. I dropped my car off for an inspection and an oil change in the morning (June 30), which was done around noon, my daughter came to get me and left her car that same day to address a mystery noise that was making her nervous. Her car was ready by three - a minor problem, easily fixed and reasonably priced. They’re awesome!

My original intent was to have a State inspection and a transmission fluid change. Unfortunately, the mechanic found an exhaust leak. Mike was very detailed in his explanation of what was required to pass inspection and also made me aware of some things that might need attention in the near future.Repairs were completed quickly and professionally. I found everyone to be friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I would recommend this business.

I have used Central Park Garage several Times over the years. I find the people there very knowlegable, and courteous. They took pictures of the issues of my car and made recommendations for repairs. I needed new wipers which I wasnt aware of. The place is clean and air conditioned in the waiting room.

Recent visit: Central Park Garage has a picture details of the vehicle and they linked the vehicle into service history. Everything is transparent nothing hide from customers. The cost is affordable and they have financing option available.Improvement: In the future hopefully Central Park Garage will open 7 days a week or at least starting only one weekend.

I was very happy and very impressed with how quickly they were able to help me. I was in an emergency and they listened to my immediate concerns and were able to diagnosis the issue and fix it within a few days. I love their loaner services as well because I was able to continue working without worry. Their informative service check system is great and with detail. Prices were reasonable and the people make you feel welcome and as if they truly care about their customers. I will definitely be back.

Review №15

We were new to the area and looking for a garage to do some work on our older Toyota SUV after the local tire shop said they couldnt align it because it needed both inner and outer tie-rod ends. I called Central Park Garage and spoke with Mike who said needing all 4 at once was pretty rare. They were able to get it right in to check it out, and get everything freed up and aligned - no new parts necessary! The thing I really liked was the text updates with links to documentation they provided in the report which includes pictures of your vehicle (and any issues they uncover) as well as recommendations. They found a few things that will need attention in the future and explained how to do the simple ones so that we could save a couple bucks - so I never felt up sold. Long story short - I found our new local garage!

I am new to the Dover area and due to my work location. Am unable to go without a car daily so I researched garages that offer loaner cars. I came across Central Park garage, read through there reviews and decided to give them a shot. I’m very impressed with the professionalism, kindness and there time management from diagnosis to work completion. I would absolutely recommend and will return as needed and regular services. Thank you Mike.

My experience at central park garage was great. My car needed struts and Mike sent pictures of the problems, in addition to doing a nice once over on the car (with pictures of other issues to consider.) He also gave me his overall impression of the car, which I appreciated, since it is older. The price was reasonable, coming in under the quote, and included a discount added the day after I dropped off my car. I will definitely take my car back.

I have been going to Central Park Garage for nearly 10 years. They are the best around as far as reliability, and being trustworthy. I have never had a bad experience going to this place and receiving the work they do. Their quotes are very acceptable, and I never second guess the quality of repairs and maintenance. It also helps that they have by far the most organized and clean shop I have seen. I feel nothing but confidencewhen I bring my vehicle there. Highly recommend if youre looking for a good shop to use.

Service and staff were wonderful to work with. Prompt, honest, and very thorough. I will absolutely be visiting again for future service needs! I really appreciated the virtual inspection report that they sent while I waited at home for my car to be finished. No pressure to get any work done that I didn’t need or couldn’t afford at the time. Especially as a woman, it was very refreshing to be treated respectfully by the male staff even though I’m not well versed in car maintenance!!!

This was my first time here because I drive a Jaguar and usually take it to the dealer but my dealer closed. They were very professional, friendly, and honest. The prices were good too. The waiting area and rest room was clean, organized and provided coffee and snacks for the wait. The receptionist was very helpful and sincerely friendly. I’ll definitely go back again.

These guys were great. Ed was very polite & professional. I recommend Central Park Garage to anyone looking for a good mechanic at a good value. They also have another garage next door that does oil changes, tire rotations, etc. Its Central Park Express & Ill be getting my oil changes done there from now on.

I was pleased that you were able to give me an appointment when I needed it and it was convenient for me. The work was completed in less time than I was originally estimated that it would.The next day, my husband and I were out and about from a little after 7am and didnt get back from a beautiful ride about the state until after 6pm. The car ran well, my gas mileage was better and I was quite pleased with the work.Everyone I talked to was pleasant and helpful. The waiting room was very clean and our safety was taken into consideration by the use of face masks. THANK YOU.

First of all I cant speak highly enough about the level of service that I received here. I dropped my vehicle off overnight to have a few issues that had come to my attention looked at for potential repair and they went above and beyond. Full explanation of damages needing repair(with good quality pictures) as well as a full quote. The quote was very easy to read and understand, also included at pickup was a Carfax history report for maintenance that had been performed on my vehicle previously. They do quality work and have all kinds of great offers. They even offered me a loaner vehicle during my time without my vehicle. 10/10 would recommend having these guys handle your automotive repair.

My 06 volvo s60 kept bucking while we drove so we brought it here to find put what was wrong. I ended up paying 700$ for a tune up, oil change, exhaust gasket, and tires . They obviously thought it was a spark plug or something but the car didnt stop bucking. My uncle looked under the hood and found a big black hose hardly connected and ran the codes and fixed it with 100$ just a new sensor . They ripped me off and definitely planned on doing some more if I came back. ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS RUN THE CODES. Instead they gave me a 700 dollar checklist for NOTHING !!

Review №43

Central Park Garage is definitely over priced and there are much cheaper options in the area. First time I went in they charged me 75 dollars for an oil change and at my regular garage I never pay more that 50. The second time I went I wanted to get my A/C recharged and they called me they told me that they didnt fix it and I ended up paying 125 dollars just for them to say they couldnt fix it and they wanted to give me an estimate on top of that to actually get it fixed. The workers are nice but the prices arent.

Always have a positive and honest interaction with this shop. Had my wifes car in for a tune up and they let me know that based on the mileage that the rear shocks are recommended to be replaced by the manufacture, but they said the parts were still in good shape and just to keep an eye on it. When its time to replace, Ill definitely bring here. I appreciate that they let you know what can, should and must be worked on and are reasonable in timing and price.

Review №46

I’ve used their sister shop for oil changes with good experience and no problems before. I went in last week for an inspection. No one was wearing a mask and customers were not spaced the minimum 6ft apart. I was told my inspection failed for two items, was given a list of 8 things to be repaired and a bill totaling over 1500 for a car that is only 4 years old. I asked for explanation of what and why one of the items needed to be replaced and was not given any details besides the basic description on their estimate. After further inquiry I was told the same thing without any elaboration of why this needed to be done.Will not be going back to either location.

Hi,I found the man at the front counter to be friendly, polite, and nice. He appeared to be very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions. Free coffee was good too. I was there for a vehicle inspection and it did seem to take longer then I thought it should. The waiting area was very clean and the counter had a barrier to separate us from him. I would recommend this business location in Somersworth to my family and friends.Lester

I brought my jeep in for an inspection and tire rotation. $90 later my tires were rotated and inspection was done. My vehicle failed. Ok, no big deal. Thats not on them. The estimate they printed out for me came to over $950.00. That did not seem right to me. I took my jeep to RMB in Eliot, Maine and it cost me $360.00 to fix everything, including labor!! Central Park Garage is a rip off. I will never advise anyone to go there.

I had purchased a headlight from elsewhere that assured me they could install it on the spot. That was not the case,however, when I showed up. I called Central Park to see if they could install it without an appointment. I was told to come right over. They installed it quickly, on the spot, and I was on my way in 15 minutes. Great service as always and a repeat satisfied customer.

Weve been very pleased with our experience at Central Park Garage. I have been impressed with the friendliness and thoroughness of the staff.

I have gone to Central Park for repairs (and inspections) on several occasions. Most recently for my breaks and months later a headlight restoration. They are honest and clear in explaining anything that needs to be done. They are not out to rip people off like other garages might be. They are interested in high quality work and high quality parts and skilled workers. The prices are very fair. They are honest and ethical people. If you are interested in quality - this is the place to go.

I called to make an appointment and was thrilled that they had hours on Saturdays, which meant that I didnt have to make arrangements for getting to work during the week. I got an appointment for the upcoming Saturday and I ended up getting to my appointment late. They were pleasant abut this and allowed the appointment to stand. They worked passed closing to get me car finished. These are very nice and accommodating people. I highly recommend this service center. They also gave me a coupon for a free oil change to boot!

I have been fortunate in my career by being able to do fieldwork with complex field vehicles all over the world. In maintaining these vehicles, I have used a side array of mechanics and garages. I all of this experience, I have found no better place than Central Park Garage. Their diagnostic capacity is superb, their ability to repair a problem is beyond compare, and they have tremendous integrity. Central Park Garage keeps their customers informed and they make it right. I am very pleased to be one of these customers...VERY

I took some pretty hard lumps on repairing my daughters 2007 Audi. Greg and the staff kept me informed with progress as they had the car for almost 2 weeks(mostly waiting for parts) You never want to hear bad news about your vehicle but such is life. The most important aspect of all the expense is the car is safe to drive. If we can squeeze another 12-18 months out of it well be happy. Thanks to Greg and the staff shes on the road again.

I’m new to the area and needed an inspection on an older car that hasn’t been handling well lately. I expected that it would need repairs and it did. I was given a detailed explanation of what was needed and why in addition to estimates. While I hate the extra expense, I was treated with respect. It’s nice to find a place to handle my repairs promptly.

Everybody at Central Park is very friendly and willing to explain the options when repairs are needed. They do not try to sell you something that you dont need, if they say that something should be replaced right away - count on that being the case. The loaner cars are a wonderful service for those who work out of town. Mine was already warmed up on a cold fall day. So all in all, Im very happy and impressed with Central Park Garage. Been a customer for quite a while and see no reason to go anywhere else for all of my auto maintenance needs.

We live in NYC & our daughter goes to college at UNH. Busted strut situayion-this garage was not too far from campus & AAA recommended. Absolutely terrific. They were polite- didnt talk down to a young girl. They kept car a few days for parts- provided her a loaner & updated her every step of the way. They were honest & a pleasure to work with. So glad to know she has a reliable honest place to go if she has any other car issues while in NH. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!

Review №86

I have been a customer of Central Park Garage and Papa Bear for more than a decade. Cars break down and have failures as they age, we keep our cars until they have around 150,000 miles, so weve used most of the services offered. Cost estimates have been accurate and repairs have lasted until one would expect replacements to re-occur. Great customer service and repairs at a competitive price, my long term experience with them has been reliably great and always honest. Still utilizing this garage after moving out of the area, because I trust them.

They offer to show me what they describe needs to be done, they have explained to my why work does NOT need to be done that another garage recommended, they are professional, courteous, fairly priced and get repairs done quickly. On top of all that, they have a loaner car that made getting to work easier and they have a loyalty rewards program that helps defray the cost of future repairs!

I truly believe that they charge a premium for lackluster service. They acted as if they did a favor for not charging me labor for a upper and low ball joint. At one point it was going to be over a grand until I said something. Afterwards the alignment was out twice in a month. Upon the third time they said the self locking nut with a cotter pin was damaged. I had to ask if the threads on the control arm or messed up, not something they thought to bring up. They then said that finding a replacement nut hard to do. Its really nice thinking I drove around hundreds of miles without a cotter pin in the self-locking nut on my control arm. I wouldnt recommend this shop to anybody.
