Long Life Auto Repair is a one-stop auto repair shop, performing services from basic maintenance to electrical trouble-shooting to major engine work. The team at Long Life has more than 80 years combined experience fixing cars. Mike Bundy, the owner, is an ASE-certified Master Technician, but other mechanics are even better than him at their specialties.
We certainly do preventive maintenance - there's nothing more satisfying than solving a problem before it is one. But we also really enjoy fixing what's broken. The vast majority of cars that we work on are getting up in miles - 75 K and more - and are having some repairs come due. Our mission is to be an honest guide for people about what's needed (and what isn't) to keep their middle-aged-and-older cars running smoothly and reliably.

Cars are better made these days than they used to be. Not only are engines incredibly more efficient-thus running cleaner and causing less wear of key parts like spark plugs-but manufacturing processes are tighter too. It's unusual to need much more than regular oil changes, a brake job, and a change of tires on a car before 75K miles.
The Basics-At Long Life Auto we like to think we're very versatile and can handle almost anything mechanical a car needs. Starts With a Symptom-Maybe you don't know what you need, but you're hearing a noise or feeling something from the car you didn't before. You're the best judge of what's unusual on your car, so keep track of when the noise/feeling occurs and where on the car it comes from.
My car has over 80K miles on it and I've never had any trouble with it. But in the last six months I've had to do a couple of repairs that have cost almost $1000. Now the dealership is telling me that it needs another big repair. I'm wondering if the car is going bad. Should I trade it in? A. This is our favorite question.

It has been a positive experience. Mike educates customers about their cars and cars in general. The educational experience causes customers to want to return. The staff is also welcoming. Going to Long Life Auto Repair, LLC is a pleasant experience. It has created a standard by causing people to expect a positive experience from an auto repair shop.

The crew here is absolutely topnotch. They are reasonable in pricing repairs, will breakdown the repair for you in an easy to understand manner and they do great work. I always recommend them to my family and friends but also to anyone looking for an honest and quality mechanic shop. Check them out for yourself and see why so many others keep coming back to Long Life Auto Repair. Great location to, right around the corner from the Waltham Common.
