Customer Reviews

Did an alignment recently. Very knowledgeable and courteous. Now my go-to shop for all future repairs.

Dave Rocco

My wife and I are up from Florida for the summer. Our Subaru Outback needed some attention. Shaun the owner, took care of everything perfectly and at a very fair price. Like others have said, you are treated like family here and they really care that you are happy. They will never sell you anything you don't need. I am really glad I have a excellent auto mechanic that I can trust and know the job will always be done right the first time

John Schiebelhuth

Honest and helpful. The owners treat their customers like family. You're not going to get taken advantage of here.

Yvonne van Bodengraven

Shawn and Dustin have been servicing our cars for several years now. They are honest, reliable, talented and the shop is spotless! They take pride and ?Quality is job one?!

Kevin Montgomery

I had some suspension work done over the summer and Shawn and his team did a great job on my truck. The garage is spotless which says a lot about how they approach their work, and they stand behind that work and the products they install.

Al C

Always professional, one-time; a repair shop that actually listens to the customer.

Michael Krizansky

Great service, staff and prices! Shawn always explains to me what is being done which I appreciate. I just had my power steering system replaced and my car is driving like a charm. I trust Tick's Auto and the whole team and highly recommend them! Janice :-)

Shaun and his team are honest and straight forward. I really trust his judgment and as he says ?safety is his priority?, I really appreciate that. He is never trying to oversell you on something and takes the time to explain each detail. Would recommend!

Courtney Denoncour

After what I went through with my tire flying off my car while driving, tick's was able to take and fix my other tire and put back on with no issues. So thank you tick's.

Clarissa B

Once again, I am impressed with the service Shaun performed on my vehicle. The service included new shocks, tire rotation and balance, and alignment (four wheel). The service was scheduled promptly upon my request; and, as in the past, my expectations were exceeded in the value offered and the extra efforts taken to ensure quality. I sincerely recommend Tick's Auto Repair! Thank you, Shaun

Nancy Haas

Sean and his team are true professionals and just good guys. I think that is a good place to start. Their prices are good and the work quality is second to none. They are just good trustworthy people!!!

Brian Cayer

I drive a rare vehicle and have always had service performed by a "specialty shop." I learned of Tick's as I searched for an alternate service facility for this vehicle. The service was timely (tire sensors, brakes, and new battery), beyond my expectations, and exceptionally professional; from return of phone calls, to providing transportation to/from home and the cleanliness of the waiting and service areas. I have realized the attention to detail shown by Tick's is unusual, and the great value of services provided compared to other service facilities I have experienced is fantastic - I would highly recommend Tick's for any service on your vehicle.

Kenny Cousins

Very fair, called and explained what was wrong with my car. Quoted a price. Car done the same day and for less than the quote.

Linda

Outstanding work. Recently had my Toyota SUV in for a number of fixes including brakes, rotors, and struts. The car was a mess. I got honest and quick communication from Tick's, high quality parts, and most importantly the job was done RIGHT from bow to stern. The car feels better than new now. Highly recommended with zero complaints.

SA

I bring all my vehicles to Tick's Auto Repair in Ipswich! They are very knowledgeable on all makes and models. I trust their work 100% and highly recommend that you bring your vehicle to them and you will be happy that you did!

Richard Bartlett

Great service and they are always fair with us and let us know what needs attention in the future so we can plan accordingly. Thanks Shaun!

Edward Rauscher

A perfect job of repair of my vehicle done today. Completely satisfied with the quality and professionalism of Shaun and his staff. Great communication with Shaun about the problem And an estimate of cost. Great old time customer Service!!!!

Weymouth Atkinson

I won't take my vehicles to anywhere else. I highly recommend Shaun and his team. They use quality parts and are very honest about their work. Even to the point of telling me that he would only do work on my current vehicle unless it was absolutely necessary to keep it running or for safety as it was on its way out. Other guys would happily just do the work and take your money while your car falls apart. I respect and appreciate Shaun's honesty.

Joseph Moakley

Honest work always done correctly. They have been servicing my fleet as well as my personal vehicels for years and never had an issue with workmanship or pricing

Charlie Ruebel

I own a 1978 Chevy Van. Every year I can count on various mechanical and body parts wearing out and needing repair or replacement. Chevy dealers no long carry any of these--the only reason my Van is still functional is due to the knowledge and expertise of Shawn and the staff at Ticks. They have been terrific.

Ken Cooper

Shaun Marston, the owner, is thorough, honest, and informative. We trust him with not only our cars since 2011, but also our daughter's car while she at college. Always calls and recommends what needs to be repaired and what could be repaired. Never any pressure. Ticks T-shirts are cool too!

chris ferris

Ticks Auto is the only place I'll take my car. Everyone there is friendly, helpful. Sean never suggest work that isn't absolutely necessary. Such a relief to have mechanics you can trust. A+++

Karen

Been bringing my cars to Ticks Auto Repair shop for over a decade now. Excellent service, courteous, fair pricing, always a pleasure. Highly recommend!

Kimberly Burnham

Ticks auto repair has been my go to auto shop for several years now. The owner and his staff are always kind, courteous and helpful with my automotive needs. They NEVER EVER suggest or recommend a service for my vehicle that isn't needed. They are running an honest shop and I'm pleased to highly recommend them. Thank you for always taking good care of me!!

Kathy Gelsomini

The place is a great mechanical shop! Very reasonable prices and they really know what they are doing! Highly recommended.

Jeremy Macleod

great place and great service and reasonable.

Norman Zimmermann

If you need an honest mechanic that wants you to be safe and will not take you to the cleaners, this is where you want to be. I will recommend him to all my family and friends. So great to find a trustworthy, intelligent mechanic! Absolutely, bring your business. So happy!!!

Elissa Clifton

Always does a great job maintaining my 14 year old Chevy Blazer.

Kris Stecker

Fast courteous service. Will definitely return

Kelly Bachmann

I've brought my car here for years, for routine service and major repairs. Time after time, the service is high-quality and on schedule. The shop is meticulous. Tick's has earned my trust and my repeat business.

Heidi Johnston

Great service for a fair price, straight shooter not going to sell you on things you don't need or do unnecessary work.

Sam King

I've been going to Tick's Auto for my vehicle repairs since 2003. Every time I've had an issue with my beloved truck, Shaun and his crew always went above and beyond expectations. They treated me as a friend. They always repaired my truck well within the quoted budget; and there were never any subsequent problems. Thanks entirely to Tick's Auto Repair, my beloved 18 year-old daily driver just turned 220k miles, and is running stronger than ever! I also entrusted Shaun with one of my classic vehicles for a restoration. The results were unbelievable. The shop is incredibly clean, and they are the consummate professionals. I'd recommend Shaun Marston's Tick's Auto to anyone!

Dan Rich

They are great! They helped me quick and helped me get back on the road to Vermont.

Justin McKenna

Highly recommend Ticks! Shawn and Dustin are very helpful and professional and resurrected a 2004 BMW I purchased this year. Great service station!

Walda Keohane

I have been going to Ticks for about 5 years after a number of bad experiences with another local shop who was charging 50% markup on parts. I have been working on my own cars for about 30 years, but with all the new computer based diagnosis required, and just a lack of time have my daily drivers serviced at Ticks. Shaun has always provided quotes for work, based on the book estimates, but is always careful about disclosing that work could take longer due to unforeseen circumstances, i.e rusted parts, etc. Most of his estimates come in on budget and the car is always ready when he says it will be. He almost always recommends OEM parts, and even though they are more expensive they usually last longer than aftermarket parts that can be made poorly. As far as the internet parts I understand the pricing difference verses the shop price, but on the other hand if you bring your own parts in who is going to deal with a part if it is defective? The shop should not have to get involved with warranty work on a part that you bought. Would you bring your food to a restaurant and ask them to cook it for you? A trusted relationship with your shop is important and it takes some time to form that relationship. It is a two way street. Not only does Shaun work on my daily drivers, but I also have him do maintenance work on my vintage 911. Look at some of the cars that are in his shop, many times there will be an old Mercedes, BMW, or even a vintage Ferrari. Out of all the reviews there is only one bad one; guess you can't make everyone happy.

Gary Hamilton

Whenever I'm back in state, I make it a point to come here and get anything suspicious with my vehicle checked out. They can handle any job, and Shaun has such a keen eye/ear that generally, problems never get to a "critical failure" state. Only mechanic I will bring my 1996 and 2000 vehicles to. Who knows if the next "funny smell" will be the oil pump failing and completely destroying your engine? Probably the guys at Ticks, anyway.

Colin Ahearn

Tick's Auto repair has always given me professional, first class service.Shaun Marston and all of his fine mechanics are a pleasure to do business with. When I leave, I am always confident that my car has been taken care of by honest, hardworking and competent people. I would highly recommend their service to others.

Susana O'Sullivan

Outstanding Service

It is a very clean, up to date service center. I was very impressed by Shaun and his mechanics. My '05 Toyota Solara needed new struts. I had gone to another garage where they put in inferior parts. Shaun diagnosed the problem, installed the correct parts and brought what had been for me a big problem quickly to a satisfactory conclusion and under the estimated cost. Their records of work history performed on my car was amazingly complex. Also, Shaun and all his crew were very friendly and easy to talk with me, a non mechanic. I will be bringing my Solara there for everything from oil changes on up as they stated they would constantly inspect the condition of my car. A very satisfying experience.
