Allston Auto Repair

Always great service at a reasonable price.

Ming and Cory are awesome! Super dependable and very fairly priced. They always explain the issues and confirm before proceeding and have a great vibe around the place. Overall would highly recommend Ming’s as a place to take your car!

I have a rare 1997 front wheel drive, 3.7 V8 A8 Audi. The car is 24 years old. It was the first A8 model brought to the USA. It even has solar panels on the roof for cabin temperature control. The car is made of Aluminum, even the engine, and only weighs 3600 pounds, The Ming garage has been able to find used parts so I can continue to drive and care for the finest car I have ever owned. They are extremely competent so the work is always done well and they are very professional. My car still attracts attention since I have it garaged and it is always clean. There is a level of trust here that is earned by their careful and truthful assessment of what your car needs. The last garage I used hired mechanics off from the street. They put inferior parts into the car without my knowledge and many times used band aid methods that were short lasting and did not solve the problem. So in the end I spent more. There is a limit to the life of my vehicle but the Ming garage will make extraordinary efforts to allow me to continue to use my car. With 115.000 miles, I expect to have antique plates next year. People refuse to believe the age of this car, yet it is here because talented professionals have allowed me to keep it.

I love this place! They are super honest and kind. Everything is over email which is v convenient for me. They send pictures of the broken parts to be fixed and don’t inflate their labor costs. I’ve been taking my Mini to them for years and I will never go anywhere else. Highly recommend.

I've been taking my car to Ming for years and have always had excellent, honest service. Ming's Auto Repair is highly recommended. You can trust them to do the job right and resolve tough problems at a good price.

Update: Why would I leave a review under my real name when you have all my personal information? Brought my car here for a simple oil change and of course they gave me a list of other work I should have done.. many of which were just completed. The cost of the oil change was reasonable, but everything else they quoted had absolutely ridiculous prices. Prime example is that they wanted $55 for a tire rotation and $140 for a engine air filter change. Explain to me why a tire rotation at this repair shop is almost double what the dealership charges and why they are charging $120 in labor for an air filter change. The engine air filter takes no more than 2 minutes to change.. watch a YouTube video and do the service yourself. This place is an absolute rip-off and will take advantage of anyone they can. Look elsewhere and do what you can yourself.
