Honest, fair pricing, fast repair: the words that come up again and again. Read them straight from Google.
AC bailed me out when I got half way done with a blending door for my heater and illustrated the difference between a novice and a professional. As usual very quickly I might add. They are top notch.
AC Auto is the place to go for quality craftsmanship and a customer service experience. You will find no better a group to work with than this team.
I’ve had my truck brought in for a variety of different services and each time I’ve never had a complaint. They always check in to make sure I’m happy with the service (which I always am). Great group of people & they do an amazing job at what they do! Would definitely recommend!
I have brought my cars to AC auto for years. They have always been honest and straightforward. They go out of their way to helped you balance cost and quality of repairs.
Absolutely amazing service. I’ve been a long time customer and have never had a complaint. Dropped off the car the night before with electrical & mechanical issues. Diagnosed and fixed within a day. I recommend AC Auto to anyone who wants a shop that they can truly trust.
John and his team at AC Auto are fantastic. Excellent communication through text and phone, quality work, and a knowledgeable staff. Even after moving out of Wakefield I still travel to AC Auto.

Where we are
On New Salem Street, worth the drive
