This shop is 10/10, the owner and staff are super sweet, knowledgeable and explain everything that will be done to your vehicle. They made me feel at ease and didn’t treat me like I was dumb because I wasn’t well versed in cars. I will 100% be coming back here and referring everyone to use their services.

Excellent auto repair in malden. Aldo is wonderful, friendly and patient, answering all my doubts about my car. Besides, the car inspection and tire repair was very fast, during the whole process, Alda kept updating by sending messages, letting me know whats going on with my car. Finally, I got a low price, which is really nice and helpful for me as a student. Thank you very much for the help from Alda and all staff in FF auto! I wanna say I highly recommend FF auto repair to anyone who has mechanical needs in the future!

Greatest auto repair in malden. They replaced with new exhaust pipe, alternator, battery, and made my 2007 Lexus is250 alive again. The price is low. People are nice there. They kept updating by sending messages. Really appreciate it. Thank you all.

This is a long story happening only one month ago. My car had two problems.one was the air conditioning, the other was abnormal noise in the rear axle. After seeing this repair shop was ranked five-star on Google, I decided to chose it to repair my car. I have to say the manager was really nice. She wore a big smile all the time. She introduced why their shop was called family and friend since it would like to grow with the whole community together although it was only opened six months ago. Facing up to managers warmness, I was very happy and would like to recommend it to my friends. They provided me 100% confidence. But it was not what I thought about.My wife and I have been this shop for several times. For the first time, we were told the freon was out. Moreover, they checked the rest of our car and it was in a very good condition except the weight-bearing axles were worn out. So, they repaired the axles and it cost $600, and adding the freon was another $100. After the repair, the air conditioning was cool, and the noise from rear wheels was gone. We thought the problems had been fixed.However, no more than a week, the air conditioning stopped work again. We went back to shop. After careful check, the manager told us that there must be a leak of freon and the valves of air conditioning went wrong, this conclusion was in agreement from two technicians. Because the vehicle was special, there was no matching valve in their shop, so they just simply lubricated the valves. The total cost was $70 just for the labor. The air conditioning was cool again. They told us we could buy the valves online in case that the lubrication did not last long. So I booked the valves when went back home.However, a week later, we were ready to go to Acadia Park, the air conditioning did not work again. We drove the car back to the store with the newly-purchased valves, they removed the old valves and told us our new valves didnt match the car. We needed to buy the new valves from them. The total cost was $135. The air conditioning worked again after repair.A week later, the air conditioning stopped working once again. This time, we really didnt have confidence to go there since the next day we had to drive from Boston to Salt Lake City. We found a nearby shop with a score of 4.8 for maintenance. After the test, they told us the main problem of air conditioning was the compressor. It cost us another $700. Since it was a long trip with 2,500 miles, we have to repair the air conditioning. Fortunately, the air conditioning was fixed and does not have any problems until now.Remember the axles? After 2,500 miles later, my rear wheel started humming again, which forced me to find another repair shop in Salt Lake City. The shopkeeper told us that the axle of the rear wheel needed to be replaced although he discovered the axels were new. It cost me another $450. The shopkeeper gave me the replaced axles which was from previous repair shop, it was shown in the picture below.I dont know what happened. But for me, the repair experience was terrible. I put it up here to remind people who choose this shop should be with careful consideration. Trust is mutual, and hope this shop could make a great improvement on their techniques.

If anyone is having problems with their car man or woman especially women go here! You will get quick, speedy and professional service at a reasonable price. They are not like the traditional repair shops that jack up prices just to do it or purposely damaging your car for future repairs. They work and live by their motto FFFamily and Friends they definitely give off the vibes when you are there. I dropped my car off Saturday and I am picking it up today which is Tuesday, they are already done! Amazing! Love it! And I will definately be back!

I highly recommend Family & Friends. I had a great experience here. They told me what parts need to repair and what don’t when I sent my car to do maintenance. They helped me to save hundreds of dollars. The service is great. Their manager is a lady with a warm smile who can take pictures of every step for me to let me know what they are doing with my car. I do appreciate for their work.

I am new to the area and I was quite hesitant about finding a reliable mechanic for the Suspension repair needed on my car (Front Strut, Sway Bar Link/Kit). Then I have found FF Family& Friends Auto Repair, they saved me thousands of dollars. I had a great experience with her and the team! Yes, it’s managed by a woman with a big smile on her face towards customers. They took the time to talk with me and showed me the problem, explained everything about my car condition before adding parts. They made sure my car was fixed correctly and quickly, also they let me know about some things I should get fixed soon without being pushy about getting it done right away. They are fair with me and make sure I feel comfortable with the work they’re going to do before starting anything.  The environment is amazing very neat and clean,and they provided terrific service at a very affordable price and time. I highly recommend them to anyone Thanks to FF team, I sincerely appreciate your work!

I highly recommend Family & Friends. From the get go, I was impressed with the quick and professional service. They explained me everything before adding parts or steps to the service which was a relief to me. In the past, I use to take my car to the dealership and ended up returning many times because they never fixed the problems with my car. The place is neat and clean and they serve cookies and freshly brewed coffee! Affordable and reliable! I’ll will certainly refer this place to family and friend.

As a woman I have to confess that taking my car to be fixed has been a difficult experience. But I was recommended to check this new place and guess what? It’s amazing!! It’s managed by a woman, so do not expect a dirty and messy place. The environment is neat, clean, with a fresh cup of coffee waiting for you along with the friendly and welcoming smile of the owner Alda. The service was great, cheap and fast. I could feel that I was finally not getting screwed by some obscure mechanic charging me for things that never needed to be done in the first place. As a mom, wife and friend I highly recommend this place! You will be treated decently and honestly as we all should! Top notch place! 👍

What a bless!! Im one of those that have no clue on how to mantain a car! On my first time there, they fixed up my car as if their family member were driving it. Their attention to detail, professionalism, knowledge and most important, kindness, are just amazing! They really go above and beyond for their clients! I highly recommend it! Its so good to have an auto shop that we dont only trust, but also enjoy going there! Cheers to them!!

I brought my car to the FF auto repair last week and was completely satisfied with their service. The whole team was very friendly and really took the time to listen to my concerns. They quickly identified my cars problem and were very transparent with me: They showed me what the problem was, explained what caused, and how they were going to fix it. It was really refreshing to go to such a friendly place and talk to a mechanic so polite and knowledgeable . Its clear they really care about their customers and really enjoy what they are doing. They retuned my SPOT CLEAN car (very nice courtesy of FF) in a couple of hours. I will be back for sure!!!

Family & Friends are making the DIFFERENCE mostly in the lives of us Women. It was very gratifying to have a TRAINING Mechanic where I can leave my car with TRANQUILIDADE. I obtained the knowledge of the PROFESSIONALISM of this Team and I verified ZELO and the TECHNICAL CAPACITY from the CALL, DIAGNOSIS to the SOLUTION ALTERNATIVE. I received my super DETAILED BUDGET and PHOTOS of the problem that was in my car.Family & Friends in my concept is PROFESSIONALISM in what MAKES, CREDIBILITY in what it TALKS and mainly, TRUST and SATISFACTION for who needs its services.TOP TOP TOP.For you FF my very Thank you.

As a woman I felt that my trauma with mechanics was over. After I met FF Family Friends I felt that now we women have a mechanic where we can go it alone, because there is a place where honesty is 100% and I know I will not be deceived. Clean environment, harmonic and unbelievable service. I felt like I was at home. I highly recommend this mechanic.
