My experience at Hull Auto has been a mixed-bag. Theyre convenient for auto inspection, but their customer service was lacking the few times I used them for routine maintenance. Perhaps its a culture thing, not sure, but I got a heated argument when I legitimately questioned a charge on the bill. Not too big a deal there-- disagreements are common when it comes to auto repair-- but what I do have a problem with are the bogus reviews given to this business on Google. One look at the many five-star ratings (and the reviewers who posted them) written in the weeks before this one, and you know theyre totally self-serving. Look, Im sure Fatima is the best, and Im all for local businesses succeeding, but that success must be earned legitimately. The lesson for Hull Auto Repair (and Hingham Auto Repair) is this... give your customers fair and honest work, treat them like family, and you wont have to resort to these kind of shenanigans to boost your Google score.

Fatima she’s very honest great service
I have been using Hull Auto Repair for about two years now, and they have always been at the top of their game!!! Fatima handles the front office of the business, and she is always just so pleasant and easy to interact with. Their prices are very fair, they accommodate last minute appointments without hassle, and the car is always done on time, if not early. IMO, all mechanics struggle with getting repairs done on time (even the good guys), its just the nature of the business, but Fatima and her family do a great job of getting the cars in and out quickly...without sacrificing quality! Thank you guys, please dont stop doing what youre doing!!!PS - On two separate occasions, I was not charged AT ALL for small services that they performed, including today!
The service here was great. They were fast promt and reasonable price. I would recommend this business to anyone in need of work on there car or truck. Ill be back again when I need to. Thanks again Fatima, you were great!!
Good service, knowledgeable people, but it turns out my Chevy dealer charges $15 less for the same synthetic oil.
Fatima she’s very honest person
Fatima the best very good service
Fatima honest lady wonderful service!
Fatima the best Great service
Have used Hull Auto Repair many times, and consistently find them reliable, timely, friendly, and reasonable. Great to work with!
Fatima and Kassem best of the best
Went there for a sticker, left with a headlight that fell out. I asked what we were going to do about it (I wasn’t mad because it’s an older car and mistakes happen) but When I was told “it’s not my problem.” was a little frustrating so I told them to stop on the inspection and I would be taking my business elsewhere. I offered to pay for the washer fluid I needed since mine was empty and that’s a requirement to test to make sure it’s working, she said no it’s fine and began to walk away .. so this post isn’t for the business itself and the work they do .. it’s for their poor professionalism.
Great shop and very professional staff! Would recommend to any and everybody !
Fatima the best

They do a great job
Great job on maintenance on my car and felt very local
Real good people from my native areas
I called for availability for an oil change, I was given an opening within 15 minutes. As soon as I pulled up I was greeted outside by the front office staff and told to pull inside. Customer service was phenomenal, they were both courteous and upfront with anything conducted on the car.I called several shops prior to this and it was as if I was bothering them to ask for an appointment or time to come in. I would drive out of my way to return to Hull Auto Repair!Family owned and a high sense of pride and professionalism in the shop! Outstanding job I will be back and would recommend Hull Auto Repair to anyone.
They gave me one estimate for detailing, and then doubled it when done. I refused to pay the higher price. These people will take advantage of you if they can. The ride to and from my house was nice, but at what cost?
Joseph at Hull Auto was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I have a 2003 Jeep that I bought for a song earlier this year. Joseph gave it the initial Mass State inspection. It passed with just a few issues which he detailed for me with approximate costs for each repair. Nothing really major. Afterwards I brought it in to have most of the issues dealt with and my bill was a lot less than I had expected. Just last week I brought it in for an oil change and he discovered that the oil pan was frozen solid with rust. If he unscrewed that nut to drain the old oil the turning of the nut would have likely collapsed the entire oil pan as a result of the weaken condition created by the extensive amount 15 years of accumulated rust covering the entire oil pan. The fix would be removing and replacing sections of both axles. His mechanic suggested removing the axles one at a time and wiggling the oil pan free slowly. This process ended saving me about $2,000. The job took about 3 hours longer then just a quick oil change but saved me almost my entire cost to replace my $3,000. fifteen year old Jeep.Needless to say Joseph, David and Hull Auto Repair gets ten stars. I have since sent him 5 other customers including my neighbors, my wife and a dear friend all of whom heap high praise for his workmanship as well as his communication skills which notably outshine 99.9% of others in the Auto Repair Business hands down without comparison ! ! !High marks for skill and keeping promises.
If you have ever left Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair feeling ripped off, duped, deceived, conned, swindled, defrauded, fleeced, misled, lied to, hustled, and/ or simply stolen from, then let me assure you that your gut feeling is speaking the truth.On January 29th, 2020 I brought our Chevrolet Equinox to Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair because the vehicle was stalling between 5 and 15 mph. Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair did the following so-called work. I’ve attached the original receipt. Some work was completed without asking and some with my approval. The work included new gaskets, plugs, coils, a smoke test, tires balanced, an alignment, locating and repairing EVAP, and lastly, an oil change, which Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair illegally reset to 100%, as was shown on the diagnostics.Promptly thereafter, the vehicle continued to chug and stall, and on February 5th, 2020 the vehicle was dropped off at Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair for a second time, where it sat for two days and the only follow up was that of my own. When the car was eventually picked up, we received nothing more than gimmicks and nonsense, with Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair stating that the vehicle, once again, needed another engine flush, as well as another oil change, in hand with a brand new timing chain, at a cost of $1000, plus a random $250 “kit”, all while expressing their own distaste for that of any dealership, stating “the dealership is going to be more expensive. I have twenty-seven text messages, two phony videos, and two improvised photos proving their lies and deceptions.Jumping forward to February 11th, 2020 when common sense took hold and I brought the vehicle to Best Chevrolet, in Hingham. Within 10 minutes of checking in, I was professionally and courteously informed that our Chevrolet Equinox needed a camshaft, which was under warranty. Attached is their receipt and a zero cost to us. Furthermore, our service rep at Best Chevrolet explained that Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair did “unnecessary work” and that we were “taken advantage of.”This statement prompted a dispute with our credit card company, in which Capital One quickly sided with us, returning all pilfered funds, and have since closed the case. Please see attached letter.To add, during a long weekend in New Hampshire, I brought the vehicle into Newport Chevrolet for a service before heading north, and here’s what I found out from them.1.) Confirmation and corroboration with that of Best Chevrolet, stating the work on the above Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair statement was “uncalled for and fabricated.”2.) The engine was NEVER flushed.3.) Neither oil change was ever performed, yet Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair deceitfully charged us for a whole slew of expenses, including the criminal resetting of the vehicle’s diagnostics, when fully knowing the work was never done to begin with.I have asked Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair numerous times for a detailed and proper description of the work that was actually completed and why some of the work was done at all. However, I’ve received nothing but unsophisticated notes, fobbing off, delayed responses, juvenile comebacks, uncouthness - all with a complete lack of answerability.Please do your due diligence before bringing your vehicle to such charlatans. Do not allow yourself to go through the same falsehoods, fraudulence and scams that I endured with Hull/ Hingham Auto Repair. It’s stomach churning to think that this is a way of life for this operation - theft via trust, larceny through a lack of customer knowledge, and an overall script of sound and babble. Be suspicious, be mistrustful, and be skeptical, because those instincts will serve you well should you need to communicate, on whatever level, with this duplicitous and sordid lot.Good luck!
Give them an inch and theyll take a mile. Big mistake bringing our family car here. DISHONEST!
My niece was taking the car on a long trip back to school, Hull Auto was supposed to do a lube oil and filter, check and rotate tires and replace windshield wipers.. when I asked my friend to doublecheck hoses etc..he said the oil was overfilled (possibly not changed) tire pressure was low on all tires, and they were not rotated..Would not go there again
The owner went above and beyond to make sure my sons 2006 VW Passat was in perfect running condition. A huge THANK YOU!
They went out of their way to take me yesterday for an inspection... Quick and easy!! I appreciated them helping me on such short notice. Great to have such a helpful, professional automotive service in my own little town. Big thanks to Youssef! Sorry about almost breaking your door!
Had an emergency driving around Hull just as this new business was opening. I took a chance and drove there on a Sunday. Josef was there and very responsive (my exhaust system was falling down). He was able to tie it up temporarily and I returned on Monday for it to be fixed. They did a wonderful job. Now my husband and I are customers and have been back for various things, including an inspection. So happy this new business is in Town.
Have taken car for inspection, repair of back end and and muffler piece. each time i felt they were honest with me and have had good results. think people are quite harsh on new businesses in the sleepy town of hull.
I brought in a 1983 BMW with a long time stalling problem. Youssef fixed it in little time and the car is running like new. I highly recommend this place.
They were very friendly and honest. ... I have found me a new mechanic and I love supporting small local businesses.
A great place for everything from windshield wiper blades or state stickers to major repairs. They are friendly, knowledgeable, honest and reasonably priced. Joseph manages the Hull shop while Kenny, the owner, runs the Hingham shop. I would recommend them to anyone who owns a car.
Family owned with quality service and good customer support. Brought in a beat up 2013 fit and they helped get her going. Thanks.
The service was excellent, the wait time was short, the repair was perfect, the price was great!
Took me on an emergency situation great service reasonable friendly employees do it again in a minute
They take the time to clearly explain the problem & complete the service promptly. They are honest & prices are fair/resonable.
Got my inspection done here. Took me as a walk-in. Cleanest, most organized auto repair I have ever been in. In and out in 15 minutes!
Friendly and quick service for my inspection sticker.
Had my car repaired there and was great service
Had an amazing experience, very honest and straightforward, Hull auto repaired my wife’s car after the dealership failed to figure out the problem, for a very fair price and offered to pick me up and drop me off!!
Got an oil change and a sticker. Great prices
Very unwelcoming. There were no cars inside and 2 employees standing around so I inquired about an auto detail. Gave me a simple nope with no explanation. Very uncomfortable experience.
Super professional extremely helpful
Make sure you tell them to put grease on the front brakes lots of grease on caliper pins
Yusuf and the crew at hull auto are just awesome !!! My car broke down the night before my road trip to Canada, they stayed late and fixed my car, i got my car back at 9:30 that night !!! GREAT SERVICE !!
Do not bring your car here
Fast and friendly
I found the prices too high, the level of detail too low, and the staff absent minded.
New ownership, not the same.
Bad owner
Fatima the best
I love Fatima she provide good service I promise I will be back I will tell all my friends about the Place good people Great service
