Great service! I needed a last minute state inspection. They were able to accommodate me despite their busy schedule. I was in and out in no time. Ive been going there since. Very professional and knowledgeable team.

Moved back to ri with two vehicles, paid a whole weeks pay to register, had to let the inspection slide for a bit... Get the letter in the mail that my reg would be suspended if I did not inspect. Cars needed a lot coming from a state with no inspection laws. One had needed a windshield, a turn signal, and a tire and mine only had a little bitty airbag light and needed a bulb, no big deal. These fine people went out of there way and dealt with the state on our behalf to stave off the suspension, fixed every issue in the first car and had it inspected in 3 days. My lil ol airbag light turned out to be wiring ghosts and needed an exorcism, a ground wire, seatbelts and some blinker fluid. They didnt even charge me for the Exorcist. Thats how you get a customer for life.

I really appreciated the speed and care with which Safe Way Auto Center treated my car. Everything was explained thoroughly, and they also came in with a quote that was lower priced than another place I had brought it. Professional through and through, and my car feels great now!

I had requested a quote on having some body work done on my 1986 Solstice. Right from the beginning Mallory informed me with some options going over in great detail the pros and cons of each. I finally brought the vehicle in for the work I had chosen. Once completed I was asked to come in to review the work with Joe the owner and to make sure I was satisfied, I was. They then went on to clean the vehicle inside and out and delivered the vehicle again making sure everything was to my satisfaction.

My husband took our car for inspection sticker, appt made, on time, waited outside per covid policy, totally except able as they said it would be less than an hour and it was highly recommended. My son went somewhere else and had a horrible experience waiting three hours...

A few weeks ago my mother car ended up with a dent in one of the doors. I had went to a few other places first, they quoted me very high prices. One guy wanted me to go a find a door that matched from the junk yard and bring it to him to put it on for me.(REALLY)?? So I came to Safe Way and spoke to Joe. Very nice guy. He looked at the damage and he went and found the door for us, had it brought to his shop,and made sure the color matched. He even got my approval before he did the work. I looked at it and said it looks like the same door. They cleaned it up and replaced the door interior and everything. Very good work. Very nice folks. Overall, my mother and I were very happy.

I am not from around the area and had gotten a flat, Safeway was the closest shop i could get to. They were so kind enough to change my flat tire with no hesitation so efficient and immediately. I truly appreciate their customer service.

I have been bringing my 5 cars to them for several years now and have never had a problem. Any questions/concerns that I had were taken care of immediately. They also always go above and beyond to help me. I would highly recommend them.

Im having a bad day as it is, I dont need the hassle of having to pay a ton of money on car rentals and nonsense. This place, very sympathetic to my needs. Its a small town shop that rents out their own cars and very cheaply. Very friendly, understanding and helpful. I had a great experience here today. I was in and out within 20 minutes. Definitely would recommend this place.

I have been having my car serviced by Safeway for the past 6 years. My car currently has 195,000 miles on it and it running like a new car thanks to Safe Way Auto Center. The Staff is friendly and very professional. I have nothing but great things to say about Safe Way.

Very quick service for an inspection. They complied with all that Covid safety stuff as well (as of August 2020) (ie; plastic screens, distancing, etcetera). Service was like a well-oiled machine.

Review №27

It isnt often where a someone receives automobile servicing and is blown away by the quality and service. My car was in an accident which required extensive mechanical and auto-body work. Not knowing too much about Safeway my expectations were what one would have of any mechanic/auto-body service. That is minimum requirements to complete the job, and get the car out of the garage ASAP. Well, I got just the opposite of that. They were diligent in making sure my car was not only safer to drive before it got in but also looked better. Safeway just got a new customer in me. Thanks a ton!

Most everyone I know goes here for car repairs/body work and loves it. The owners are exceptional and offer professional customer service. Their work is superb and reasonable. My insurance company says they are a breeze to work with. They also have a rental car business on the property so its very easy to get everything done in one spot. I definately recommend Safe Way!

Review №29

The guy in the office completely blew me off everytime I tried talking to him. I paid for a rental for 2 days and the volume in the car doesn’t even work/aux. and the car is supposed to be returned with a full gas tank but I didn’t even get the car w half a tank. Such a childish work environment I want my money back

This family run business is not only an excellent repair shop but extremely reasonable pricing. They are very accommodating and helpful. I have been bringing my family vehicles to them for several years.I highly reccomend them for all of your auto repairs. They also inspect motorcycles.

Review №32

First, Ill start by saying this place does have decent people. Im not here to bash anybody specifically. However, they charged me $91.28 for an hour of labor where all they did was leave the key turned on for an hour and tried start the vehicle when the hour was up. Other mechanics say you only need to do that for 20 minutes! On top of that, they didnt even have the vehicles master key and only used the valet key knowing that was an issue. Still charged me though! Greedy and only want your money. Do NOT have your car taken here no matter the circumstance.

Review №36

By far the best experience Ive ever had with a mechanic! They are honest, very reasonably priced and polite. I brought 3 vehicles to Safe Way and they gave me estimates far below what I was expecting on all the work. Also, they had all the work done on the same day. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of repairs.

Review №37

I’ve been here twice for tire troubles, they take my car in immediately and communicate the issue, updates and what was done so I know exactly what’s going on. They are always friendly, and extremely efficient; repaired my tire within 10 minutes the first time and replaced it completely on another occasion in less than 2 hours!

I live in Swansea MA, but I will pay for the tow to Bristol for this place. I was in the military and stationed all over and had many cars. This place is the only one I trust. From what I observed, they are all family at this place. They are kind, honest and have helped me with some major and minor car repairs. Won’t go anywhere else!

Very honest, helpful and very polite. When in needed I highly recommend going to Safeway auto. I have needed a rental in the past twelve years and they never seem to surprise me with the wonderful service. I love going there and highly recommend them for service works. Work is done in a timely fashion and done very well. Thanks to the employee and owners.

I had a great experience at Safe Way. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and Steven was fantastic to work with. I needed new tires for my Subaru, and a friend recommended me to Safe Way. After just one discussion about my car, my driving habits and my wants and needs, Steven recommended me a certain set of tires. Probably not the tires I would have picked myself, but just hearing Steven talk about ties made me trust him. He seems to know everything there is to know about tires. Well, it is now about 2 months later and I absolutely LOVE my new tires. My car runs quieter and smoother, and when I take corners now it feels like instead of buying new tires I spent money on a new suspension system! Thanks Steven!

Review №43

A big thank you to Safe Way for getting me into a set of Hakka tires, theyre amazing!My experience with them and these tires has been fantastic. Working with honest people that are more interested in providing you with the best solution/product instead of just the most expensive is a hard thing to find these days so I truly appreciate them and would strongly recommend them as a company. The tires they set me up in are perfect! The performance is 5-star- they drive like a dream, my mpg got better, and theyre reasonably priced as well. Im so happy with the product and the experience. Anyone thinking about winter tires (or any other car services for that matter) should call Safe Way theyre worth it!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review №44

We have used Safeway on and off over the last 5 years. Based on many transactions I can say with all honesty that they are nearly always over booked and have trouble accomplishing work in a reasonable time frame. A victim of their own success I suppose.If you have time to wait they are a solid outfit. If you are in a rush, my advise would be to have a good backup.I am only giving them 3 stars because we as a business with a fleet have been dissatisfied of late.

Review №45

My entire family uses Safeway for their auto repair and collision repair. They are professional, courteous, and work is always done to perfection. Will continue to use them for years to come. Hope we wont need them, but it is good to know they are there if we do.

Steve C was great to speak with then meet upon bringing my vehicle in for new tires. He gave me a few choices of tires for my vehicle and was not pushy or rude. It was a pleasure to bring my car into Safe Way Auto, I will definitely continue to have them service my car.

Review №51

AAA sent this company to tow a vehicle that obviously needed to be carried. Even AAA said that vehicle needs to be carried not towed. The driver tried telling me it will not damage the vehicle if you tow it. Every mechanic I ever talked to says you do not tow this type of vehicle. They should probably train their drivers a little better. If he had been doing this as long as he says he has he wouldnt have known that.

Communication sucks, you won’t know if you’re car is ready to pickup unless you show up yourself. You can call and they say they’ll call you back but they don’t. Also not exactly a cheap place either

Great Pricing on Michelin I never thought the name Michelin was in my budget but then I spoke with Steve he sold me using the oddest comparison I did my home work and they are cheaper than the big guys and much more knowledgeable about the products they offer! I will now be a customer for the fore foreseeable future!
