5.0 of 5 stars. I've had Eli and co work on my car now for almost four years - they're fast, very reasonably priced (the same tires at Sear's priced out at $150 each, Eli gets them for $80) and Eli always asks me how...

Yelp.com Review - by Gregory S.

5.0 of 5 stars. Eli's Fresh Pond Mobil did a superior, speedy "pit stop quality" job fixing my car. I really don't think that his business would have expanded to the extent that is had by "ripping people off." The...

Yelp.com Review - by joanne c.

1.0 of 5 stars. This place rips you off. Don't even think about bringing your car here to get an inspection sticker - you won't leave without at huge bill. Stay away!

Not the best service

The owner George is friendly and funny but the other employees are quite unfriendly if not rude. No one understands or speaks English well except George, and when you call them they pass the phone around until...

Yelp.com Review - by Michael c.

1.0 of 5 stars. Believe the majority of reviews here. This place is a den of thieves. I cannot believe the better business bureau has not shut them down.

Has Fresh Pond Mobil taken advantage of you? Tell the State of Massachusetts.

If you believe that Fresh Pond Mobil has in any way used their state inspection license to take advantage of you, I would encourage you to contact Paul Harkins who works for the State of Massachusetts...

Ripoff artists by matt e. at InsiderPages

Charged me almost $1,000 to replace a simple sensor. After it was replaced my transmission mysteriously dropped. Words can't describe how awful this service station is. AVOID AT ALL COST!

Don't get taken for a ride by Carl W. at InsiderPages

Don't get taken for a ride at this place. They do a good job with the work, but my friend didn't know much about their car (what repaires would cost) and they were charged double what it could have cost.
