Murph at CarZone and now Zone Kar has been the only person I bring my cars to for more than 20 years. He is amazing at what he does, but also just a wonderful person! I've followed Murph to 4 locations, and will continue to follow him wherever he goes!
Honest and reliable! I've been a loyal customer of Murph and his team for the past 5 years. Despite their new location being a 20-minute drive from my house, I continue to choose them for all my car-related needs. Their pricing is consistently fair, and their service is top-notch. I recommend them, 100%!
Best mechanic in Boston. Murph and his team do great work, are fast and reliable. Take your car to Zone Kar!
I used Murph when he ran Car Zone (which their landlord have sold, so Murph had to move). I am happy he moved not too far from prior location, and I'm continuing using his services. Thank you for oxygen sensor replacement! The check-engine light is now off!
10/10 working with Murph. A shop that doesn't feel like its trying to sell you something, but is honest about when a repair is necessary or isn't.
Murph is the NICEST MOST HONEST GUY YOU WILL EVER MEET, once you get your car serviced here, he will be your guy. Wade is a great Tech. These guys are top knotch. They make fixing your car fun.
The most honest, professional auto repair place you can possibly find with great prices. They know their work.
I've brought it by twice and they've been able to fix my belt and tail light right away with no issues or fee . Definitely will bring back here 😃
They are so awesome and honest love all of them like family especially Murph he treatse like a son he
Most honest and affordable mechanic you will find in the area! Murph has been servicing our car for a few years now. It's always easy to get an appointment. If something needs to be done at the dealer he won't hesitate to tell you, and he's even referred us to others shops to have certain jobs done (muffler repair…
Good quality and very honest - recommended to all my friends.
I got a call from my daughter in Boston yesterday that her new car smelled like something was burning when she drove it, she told me she didn't use it for a while and it was sitting. I live in New York so the first thing I did was look on yelp/google for a trustworthy mechanic to check it out. After reading several…
Murph is an incredibly genuine and kind auto mechanic. He'll tell you exactly what you need for your car, and quote you a fair price. He works in a timely manner. I've only had positive experiences going to his shop, and will continue to do so in the future.
Murph is a great guy and a knowledgeable mechanic. His prices are some of the lowest I've ever seen and he will go the extra mile to make sure you're happy. He will often put the car on the lift when you arrive and look at it with you right then and there to diagnose your issue, which I love. He replaced a brake…
Murph and his team are the best! I have been going to them for years, friendly and honest. He is always available and fast with repairs, his prices are great and helps suggest how I can save some money with my car. I recommend them to everyone I know.
I have been coming to Car Zone for years for my oil change. I've had 2 newer cars he would take care of for me and just recently before I went on a trip to Tennessee I asked him to check if I'm good for the drive and if he sees ANYTHING I need to touch up on. I told him I'd rather put 500 into my car than get a…
Easily the best mechanic I've ever been to. Murph and the rest of the team do top-quality work, they explain everything, they're on time, and they tell you when a repair isn't worth it. Car Zone has helped me many times with two different cars.
Really honest and nice guys, fixed my ac/heat issue for free by knocking the cabin air filter back into place. Told me to order tires online to save a bit extra on front tire replacement. Maybe it’s my bad luck, but I know a lot of places refurbish brake rotors by sanding, a little black rattle can spray paint, and…
