What clients say about Furlong's Auto Repair & Sales in Winthrop Township (MA)
Abel is an awesome dude, dropped what he was doing for a random new customer (me) and helped me outta a bind quickly. i had a flat, 2/5 of the lugs were over-torqued and seized and i couldn’t get em off with a tire iron or elec impact driver to put my spare on. even AAA couldn’t with theirs or a breaker bar. i live nearby, everyone else nearby told me to bring it tomorrow… but i work overnights. abel said bring it down, i limped it to him, less than two hours later i’m good to go for $30 and he ordered another matching similarly-used-tread tire for me. idk of henry furlong, who seems to have owned this place from reviews a few years ago, but current mgmt has made a loyal customer of me already
edit: wanna say most recent negative reviews seem to be unrealistic. i bought a mirror cap for $30 for my renegade. snapped it on myself. OEM was $80. if i ordered thru a mechanic probably min $100, and $30(.5hr min, $60hr) is a stupid low labor rate. you pay for TIME largely more than parts, for one reviewer c/o an $800 fuel pump on a crown vic, how much do you think a dealer would charge you when the average via google is $900?

abel now works in east boston, 30 shelby st, new shelby body / julie’s auto

This review is way overdue! When I lived in Winthrop I would take my beat up 2007 Dodge Caliber into Henry for quick tune ups. Before my cross country drive / move to California I took it in and he did a ton of work on it to make it safe and driveable for my trip. It’s been three years since and I haven’t needed anything else done to it!! He was always so kind, honest, and affordable. I just passed by his shop when visiting Winthrop and realized I never wrote a review. Thank you Henry!!
I love furlongs. He is a wonderful man. He has great prices. He's very far. He is Honest as it comes. The best shop I've ever gone to. It's a Family business .They are very helpful and compassionate about what they do they .
Never bought anything from them but I have been in the car business almost twenty years never ever heard a beef I know he goes through every vehicle top to bottom his reputation is just great that's difficult to accomplish in the used car industry
