I came upon this shop by chance due to a bolt lodging itself into my tire while driving through downtown, and it was the least stressful car service experience I’ve ever had. Ralph is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He was able to see me immediately and I was out in less than half an hour. Fair price, excellent service! I highly recommend this shop!

Ralph and the team are fantastic - I've been going here for about 20 years and my husband for longer. They do a great job. As a young woman I often felt stressed at other repair shops, like I was being talked down to, brushed off, and sometimes outright lied to. (My husband has also had nightmares at other repair shops.) But at Brutus, I've always felt respected and like I was getting a good job and honest assessment about whatever my cars have needed.

Mechanics try to overcharge on parts. Incredibly rude and unprofessional when called out on trying to take advantahe of customers customers. Asked for a detailed quote and was told that the part would be $380, when looking up that same part it was $120.

My mechanic for LIFE!
Always seen as soon as possible, always up front on prices and are honest about the work your car really needs! I love the staff - second to NONE! I trust no one else to determine the safety of my car. They never try to upsell me on work - they're honest about what is critical to keep me safe. Ralph, Brian, and Kevin are amazing to work with!

I had to get my oil changed for my 2012 Civic, and the price after a quick change was around $45, it took them less than one hour to complete! I also needed a new starter for my car and came in around Friday evening, and by Monday mid-day I was driving again. The total for a new starter was around $500. I'm from New York so the quotes seemed more than fair to me, plus the guy at the front desk (Kevin) is friendly and transparent.

I moved to Manchester in 2017 and soon needed a reliable mechanic. I originally went to a business in West Manchester and was initially happy with them. However, I had need of a fair amount of work on my truck and their quote was crazy.
I went to Brutus on the recommendation of a business associate of my wife's, and they quoted me a price that was one-third what the business in West quoted me for the exact same work. I have used Brutus' services many times since then and they have earned my business for as long as I'll need auto repair services.
Their service manager Kevin is outstanding. Polite

Have taken both the family cars to this dealership, have had a great experience with them on both occasions. Super friendly, very knowledgeable with decent prices to match. You know you aren't going to get messed around and they are open and honest about what needs to be done, they won't find problems that aren't there!

Really great experience. Friendly and professional staff who gave me fair prices and explained everything going on with my car clearly. The owner even gave me a ride home so I wouldn't have to wait there for hours until my car was done. Will definitely be going back for future work.
