Came in on a Saturday morning for an oil change and a sticker. Jason was very friendly and welcoming with asking for vehicle information and our requested services. Gave a reasonable time estimate and phoned ahead to inquire about suggested maintenance, which is always appreciated. After about 3 hours, our car was pulled out front new sticker and oil change completed, and we paid a very reasonable amount for great service. If youve been screwed over by a mechanic before (Im looking at you Toyota of Watertown Service center 😑), check out Pleasant Car care for a friendly and transparent car repair, highly recommend!

Pleasant Car Care is wonderful. The staff respond promptly, explain what is happening in great detail and are timely with their repair. I have been going here for 7 years and think they are the BEST!

Looked for winter tires for my car. Had little luck since my rims 21 were hard to find some with. Initially tried to find all seasons.. they helped me find the right one. Kept me updated with phone calls along the way. Went in and got my tires done/ alignment. Def recommend and will go in the future for my summers / even regular maintenance etc!

Easy scheduling, amazing customer service, and great work.They texted me with pictures of the broken parts that caused issues in my car and an explanation of the work that was needed, and took care of it quickly. Highly recommend this place!

I have to say that I don’t know much about cars and am always concerned that I will be taken advantage of because of this and because I’m a woman. If they took advantage of me with regard to price, I cannot say. I don’t think so. They were unfailingly kind and answered all of my questions. I liked them so much that I asked for their business card. Based on their professionalism and the fact that I got same-day service, I would highly recommend them.

I love the team at Pleasant Car Care. They have been my go to service station for years now and every time I use them I am happy with the quality of work. Aeryn at the front is very helpful always communicates what is going on and gives a timetable for completion. Shawn (Sean?) and Jim have frequently found ways to squeeze me in for an oil change. And charlie, well hes just the best! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend the Newton location. I have never had a bad experience there. I drive an older car which has had a few issues. They have been diagnosed promptly and accurately and I have been given fair prices for services. I really appreciate that they dont talk down to me and assume I dont know anything about my own car because Im female. Although I am not a mechanic, I know a lot about this car simply through having owned it and driven it. The staff at Pleasant Car Care listened to my concerns and even offered to let me look at the underside of my car when they put it on the lift, so I could see the problem for myself. I wont go anywhere else for car repairs now!

Two of my friends took their cars to Newton branch and they were extremely unsatisfied with the service and price. One of their cars had issues with break and tires, Pleasent had the tires and brakes replaced but then it turned out that they didnt balance tires well and a light on dashboard came on and my friend had to return car again for further fix and another friend remained super unsatisfied with their prices, they were charging triple price. Overall Id say very overpriced place.

I did have more work done during the service visit after having a safety check done in addition to the oil change - highly recommend Pleasant Car Care- first time there after losing confidence in car dealership service, so was looking for a new local reputable place. And I found it here!! Impressed with the customer service and the repair service team!

Had a great experience at Pleasant Car Care! I’m new to the area and needed a state inspection, and the staff there were so helpful in fixing what needed to be fixed before the end of the month. Communication is great and timely, and it never felt like they were being dishonest with me. Would definitely recommend taking your car here!

Outstanding service all around!!! This was the first time I had brought my car here as my mechanic of 19 years had retired. Jim kept me up to speed throughout and truly cares about custom satisfaction.Aeyrn was wonderful as well. Charlie is a total professional who went well and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Thankfully, I now know where I can go for all my car repair needs.

Review β„–16

SUPER OVERPRICED and not Professional!!! I brought my car there a few times. Struts’ lower control arms were in bad shape and they told me it’d cost 1100 dollars to have them replaced and I had em replaced for only 400 dollar. Check Engine light was on and they told me it was cause of gas cap and I had it replaced and then it turned that it wasn’t gas cap it was something else. One fog light had an issue and they wanted to charge me 400 hundred dollars just to solve fog light’s issue which is pretty basic. Overall I’d say ridiculously overpriced place and not quire professional.

Good appointment availability, courteous staff, seemed to do a thorough job on interior detailing. The seat upholstery was still wet from shampooing when I picked up the car, and this temporarily messed up the passenger seat ability to detect a passenger/turn on and off airbags. We ended up drying out the seat at home and this fixed the issue.

These guys are phenomenal. Incredible customer service, very professional, and excellent quality service. We were helped by Aerynβ€”she walked us through everything she found, included detailed pictures and explained everything that needed to be fixed and why. Took all the anxiety out of the process. I highly recommend going here if you need help with your car!

Review β„–19

I felt pretty torn about leaving a review, as I usually dont, especially if my experience was negative.The folks at Pleasant Car Care were very friendly and Im glad they could replace the two tires that needed to be replaced.However, after paying $375, then looking for receipts for the last tires I had replaced a few years ago, and after consulting other shops in town and my father (whos been a mechanic for 40 years), I now know that I was ripped off. For reference, I drive a Honda Fit, which requires no special/abnormally sized tires.As I am a student, that much money really was a huge blow. I really needed my tires fixed that day, one of which was flat, so felt I was in a vulnerable position of not being able to call around town. Pleasant had great reviews, so it seemed OK; however, I wont be coming back.

The team at Pleasant Car Care was fantastic. I worked directly with Jim, and I felt that I could really trust him to help us make the best decision for our car. They let me look at the car on the lift and pointed out everything that needed to be fixed. They took time to answer all of my questions (I know nothing about cars) and I felt like I was getting quality work. Overall, as a younger female I felt safe and respected; and, I was able to have a lot of work done in an efficient manner. I will definitely be bringing all of our vehicles here in the future!!

First time customer, and will definitely be back. Pleasant Car Care recommended new tires before my road trip, showing me on my old tires why they were concerned. They gave me a complimentary rental car so my four-year-old and I could go home on a super hot day, and took care of my car same day even when it was clear they were very busy. Im glad I found this place.

I was pleased with my experience. I needed Mass Air Flow Sensor that needed to be replaced. This was covered under my extended warranty. They received me the same day of my call. Worked effectively with the warranty company so I had minimum out of pocket expense. Got parts quickly. They cleared the check engine light within a few hours. Thanks everyone for a job well done and getting me back on the road!

A huge thank you to Charlie for doing a thorough pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle I was looking to buy! The guys took me in right away and showed me all the issues on my vehicle.

From the first call, everyone at Pleasant Care Car was super friendly, responsive and accommodating. My car died at 3:30pm, towed to the shop by 4:15, and then 10 minutes later I got a call from Jim that he would get me in that evening (they close at 6:00). Jim and Bill updated me every step of the way and got me in and out really quickly. Erin at the front desk also was super friendly and helpful! After Charlie test drove my car, he ran it through the wash for me to get the pollen off. I will be using them from now on for all car care and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!!

Very positive people. Wished they would have let me know if they checked some routine maintenance items such as air cleaner, wipers, inside car air filters, etc. as these may also needed to be replaced;! otherwise excellent service. They had excellent reviews and the 4 complete brakes installed are a great improvement. Thank you,

I went in to get an undercar shield installed and they made it a quick and painless process. They didn’t try to hassle me to get other services done β€œwhile they had me” which has been my experience at a few other shops before. They did let me know about a potential issue, but kept it real with me. Will definitely be using them, in the future, for my vehicle maintenance needs.

Great repair shop! I had an issue that I didn’t understand or know how to root cause and they were able to resolve that and more. Super communicative and informative, sent tons of pictures providing evidence of their findings and supporting their proposed repairs. Aeryn was also so helpful and wonderful to work with!

I have been using Pleasant Car Care for a few years now - they are truly a wonderful team! They explain issues to me clearly and show them to me in person or send pictures to my phone. All of their staff and mechanics are knowledgeable and professional. Owner Charlie goes out of his way to help his clients. My car died in my driveway and he came over with Sean to start and drive it to their shop. I highly recommend Pleasant Car Care. Thank you!

Needed an oil change called a few places but needed an appointment came across Pleasant Car Care (PCC) they told me come by leave or wait and we’ll take care of the rest. They were very professional did my oil change also went through the car to make sure I was safe to go. I also know they will give you the best advice for your vehicle no matter what issue you have with your car. I would definitely return to PCC with my car. Thank you PCC

I want to love this place, they are very friendly and conveniently located. I have gone twice and will likely not go back, my first visit I went in to get a tire repaired and they replaced two other tires, I went back and they fixed that tire as well but it was an extra day of car repair. My second visit was for a replacement tire and after being told it would be ready that day I got a call telling me that it would be ready tomorrow because my car was all wheel drive(it isn’t.).Again super friendly place, if they did what they said they would do when they said they’d do it I would never go elsewhere.

Review β„–36

Not going to lie I had an amazing experience with them. I got my car fixed with them and spent more than $2200 for a transmission axle and other things. After about 2 weeks, the transmission seal broke. It never happened before. Started to leak transmission fluid and my transmission got stuck. Had to spend another $300 for a seal and 3 quarts transmission fluid. On the phone, Jim mentioned that the first seal they put it also broke (it shouldnt if they put in the correct one.) Got it checked from another mechanic and he said they didnt put Honda original seal. I didnt care about that as much but when he showed me the position of my axle, its all shaking and loose. I called Pleasant Car Care and asked for Jim. The lady told me he will call me back in about a minute! He never did. Not sure whats going in since this isnt my 1st time with time them. But disappointed since my car was mighty fine before. It doesnt drive the same either after I got it from them.

As I have become accustomed to Pleasant Car Care kept me updated on the status of parts that were going to be on backorder because of the Nationwide Parts shortage the job was involved and time-consuming but they let me know up front and the car was ready earlier than expected AC works fine and I can tell you in years past from other service centers that doesnt always happen to be the case with AC repairs

I had my first visit to Pleasant Car Care earlier this week. I went in for an oil change and tire rotation. The staff did a thorough inspection and explained to me any recommendations they had (with prices). They even let me see the issues up close so I could decide what to do. Everyone there was super friendly. They needed extra time to fix some of the issues, so I got a free loaner car for the day. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

I have been a loyal customer of Pleasant Car Care #PCC for 7 years now since I met the owner, Charlie Z., at a community networking event. For years, Sean Sullivan always takes great care of me and even follows up with me on nights and weekends to help me with better understand what my vehicle needs and why. Sean also helped me prolong the life of my previous vehicle another 2-3 years (and over 200K miles) due to his diligence and professionalism. It is professionals like Sean that have changed my opinion on your average costly and daunting stereotypical visit to the mechanic as he truly makes every visit to see him and have my car worked on β€œPleasant!”

Review β„–54

My experience with the people at this repair shop was genuine, friendly, and incredibly professional. It couldnt have been done better without the man that helps master the best service experience. And that man is Jim. My review is long, but its worth sharing because it is one single experience that made a life long customer out of me. My 2008 Grand Prix had 110k miles, and it suddenly started to run very rough. As much as I wished I was nearby my usual shop, my engine was ready to flat line and needed to rest asap. Jim was the guy that made sure that my car got the best care possible as my situation was a bit dire. My problem was coded as a P0300. Jim called me and told me the issue and made sure I fully understood the situation. He of course explained the entire job, but it was (in short terms) $1100 engine tune up job.Jim called me a couple hours later to have me come down and take a look. Jim got the Charlie (the owner), and two other very experienced and professional seasoned repair guys wanted to show me a few things they noticed in my suspension arm and tire hubs. They let me video it (since Im forgetful and not much of a car guy) and explained what they found very thoroughly. And they wanted me to know this before they proceeded because the other repairs that would have to be done at some point down the road were going to cost $1200. They showed me this before I paid for this other job because they were truly looking out for my best interest. IVE NEVER HAD A SHOP DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR ME and the photos I shared actually screenshots from the vid i took to let me note/remember issues for later. They were doing this because they wanted me to understand they each took a look at it. This was enough to tell me that they truly have the best people take their time to give your car the best care. I was already so impressed by this, but this was only half the story.I ended up deciding to go with the $1100 tune up because I was in the middle of buying a house and buying a new car is not on the table. The next day, Jim gave me a call. He told me the unfortunate news. They did the entire tune up for me and ran the car only to find out all the work they did could not have predicted that my engine still did not run correctly, the culprit was a worn out internal bearing inside the engine. Jim gave me his condolences on the bad news, and explained **they would not charge me for the work that was done.** Jim never rushed or became impatient with me, even when I had a million questions. Im just a late 30s overweight male who knows very little about cars and doesnt have a gifted charisma that just makes people want to go out of their way to help. This shop didnt treat me special for any other reason other then that this is the kind of service and care to give everyone.

I brought my car in to check out the brakes and because the passenger window was not rolling up and down. Jim texted me pics of my brakes and rotors to see the wear and explained that they needed replacing. They also recommended tire replacement due to the age of the tires. They were also able to diagnose the window problem without taking apart the door. Jim was very friendly and took the time to explain the needed work. Communication was great in the timing of the repairs. I would definitely bring my car back for future repairs and maintenance.

Pleasant is always thourough. When I pulled my car in unannounced, (even though I am already a customer) they were right on my problem and scheduled me for the next morning. I could have left it there if I felt uncomfortable driving it. They repaired my struts under warranty and uncovered a ball joint that needed replacement. I feel they see their customers bring confident in their vehicle as part of their job.

First time taking my car here, my car wasnt running and stopping while driving and after finding out my alternator went bad and they replaced it including the belt. Then I had the same problem and Jay told me it was the connector of the starter and had it replaced. Also, they did a thorough inspection and full diagnostic on my car and told me what else was wrong. He explained which ones the car need to be done as soon as possible and what else can be done in the near future. These guys went beyond and above for me and my car. It looks like I have found and honest repair shop and mechanics I can trust. Thanks guys for all your hard work. You just earned a loyal customer for good!!!! Great work!!

Called up Pleasant Car Care and they told me to bring it in to assess the cost of installing new set of coilovers, lower control arms, toe links and some bushings. Jay was very helpful in explaining what needed to be done and how long it would take.

Was having trouble with the control of my vehicle last week, and was able to make an appointment at Pleasant Car Care in Newton the next morning. Within 30 minutes of dropping my car off they had brought it on the rack and immediately informed me of the issues going on. Unfortunately, my car was not in a condition to be repaired, but the personnel let me keep the vehicle there over the weekend while I figured out a solution with the local dealership. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful and if I have repairable problems in the future, I will certainly go to Pleasant as a first service option.

Pleasant Car Care was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I dropped off our car after business hours using their overnight drop box with a few notes on the issues we were experiencing and by the next morning they responded with pictures, diagnostics and suggestions on what repairs to undertake. They were honest about the ones that were more urgent as well as the ones that we could push off until a later date. Once we agreed to the services the PCC team immediately began work and had our car back to us very quickly.

Visited 7/7/2020 - 2014 Subaru ForesterCame in for oil change and new air filter, needed brakes/rotors, bearings replaced, and rear spring coil recall. If you have this similar make/model vehicle, go get the rear spring coils checked ASAP.Matt is easily my favorite tech and I always ask for him. Charlie, the owner, is an awesome guy and has given me rides to and from work (worked in West Newton back in the day) when my car needed work done. Theyve added some new techs over the years, and I wouldnt give it a second thought to trust the newer mechanics too.Theyre very thorough, which can mean you *think* youre going in for one thing and now its a few things you need to get done. I dont think this is unlike any other shop, but in this case, you shouldnt feel like youre being taken advantage, which as a woman can often feel like you are. That stigma still exists out there, but not at this shop.Ultimately you need to be aware of what might need adjustments to your vehicle prior, so that there arent any big surprises coming your way when they call you.Yesterday, I came in for oil change and ended up needing rear brakes and rotors. I was not surprised by needing brakes etc, BUT they found a cracked spring coil on one side, which could have been VERY ugly for me if not spotted. This is what I mean by thorough. Check the photo attached - this was texted to me when the brakes/rotors job was just about done, and told me to call around town to Subaru dealers that can get this fixed for me. I got lucky and was able to wiggle my way in at Quirk in Braintree MA. I am going on a road trip this Saturday and the timeline was tight, so again, I got super lucky.To add, its also good to know the status of your warranty. One time I brought my 2016 Jeep Wrangler here and they found axel leak for both front axels. I was very surprised by the issue and wanted a second opinion. I took it to the dealer because its a certified pre-owned, and this type of issue was covered under my warranty at the time. Pleasant Car Care gave me an estimated of over $400.00. They wont know about the warranty unless you tell them, and they might make you go to your dealer anyway, so just know this right up front and you wont be annoyed like I was. Hindsight, I didnt read my warranty coverage.I give it 4 stars because their prices are comparable to other shops, and in some capacity, can be a little more expensive. You get what you pay for.

Pleasant Car Care was great! They were able to take my car on very short notice and got the repairs done the same day I brought my car in, despite that short notice. They were very helpful in explaining what repairs were needed and even sent me pictures to help show me what the issue was. Will definitely be going to them again!
