What clients say about Affordable Automotive Repair in Hampstead Township (NH)
We as a family got so lucky to find Affordable Auto. Shea and his team are just incredible and we will never go anywhere else. Honest and fair are just a few words I could use. My car needed almost 6,000 dollars in repairs and I said I was thinking of moving on from it. "That's what I would do" was the response. Most businesses would want the work and profit. Shea wants to do right by people. With 2 teenagers we have 4 cars that will need work in the future and there is only one place we wil go, Affordable Automotive Repair.
I highly recommend this garage for your repairs. Shae is the owner and while I didn't have the opportunity to speak with him, I did deal with the two lovely ladies in the office when scheduling. I explained the issue of needing a trustworthy garage that wont upsell me because the vehicle in question was purchased (through a fundraiser) for a homeleds teen that needed a car. In a world where people just want to make a buck squeezing every dollar out of you, Shae was aware of our financial situation and really went above and beyond to help me and this young teen. For that, I can't see myself bringing not only my car, but the entire family's cars, to this shop for all future fixes.
EDITED ON 1/27/26. Unfortunately and unfairly Google apparently only allows one review per person however if a company is consistent in their services, then I think Google should allow follow on reviews. That said, today was the second day in a row I brought a vehicle in: one for a simple inspection of a new car and one for an oil change. This place goes above and beyond. They are honest and reasonable and very pleasant to speak with. The two offfice doggies are a bonus.
Price I heard was 2086 dollars .was not clearly quoted on the phone. Price was 2886 dollars. . Great place to go. They are young group of guys eager to help. This is second time I have been there. I would recommend this place for repairs.
First time using this shop and I will be back for future repairs. Very knowledgeable, very fair with repair cost, quick turnaround and great communication. 5 stars!
Shae and his crew are very knowledgeable and informed on repairs that they do !! And they are very helpful and knowledgeable people. With respect for what they do on your vehicle!! I respect all of what they do!! And all my Repairs come out correct every time. I will use them for all my automotive needs and repairs!! They know what they are doing!! Thanks Again guys for a job well done. Affordable Automotive repair
Misleading and botched expensive unnecessary job they weren't equipped for, then wanted more money and mentioned nonsense about a warranty that didn't apply because the work was so damaging. Seemed conveniently very interested in keeping the car so they could flip it themselves. Do not trust for foreign cars, or anything at all if you're not local tbh
I pulled off the highway because my car suddenly started making a funny noise and driving like I was on black ice. They fixed it the same day and for much less than I anticipated. Also there is a cute dog in the office who you might be able to pet.
I recently started doing business with shea and I can't say enough good things about him and his shop! He goes above and beyond to make sure you understand what's going on with your vehicle. He even goes as far as taking progress photos the first time your vehicle goes into his shop. It's really hard to find honest, and trustworthy mechanics these days and im glad I found him and his team! I bring all of my personal,and commercial vehicles to him and he has my business moving forward.. so, if you are looking for an honest, more than Fairly priced shop, then I highly recommend you give affordable Automotive Repair a shot.. I promise you won't be disappointed.
I brought my car here to get inspected and it failed. The woman in the office gave me a call later that day with a reasonable quote and they were able to schedule me in early the next week to have the repair completed. I dropped the car off the day before and my car was done in the time frame they said it would be. I live about 30 minutes away and decided to go to Affordable Automotive because they had the best reviews from any of the other places I had looked up. I’m happy with my decision and plan to take my car here for any future repairs.
I brought my ford escape to affordable, the girls in the office where very pleasant. The guys in the shop where very knowledgeable, I had an A/C issue that they fixed in a proper manner and time, by the way this was my first time going there, they treated me great, with a very affordable price. I will be going back with anymore issues. Thank you very much for finding my issue without the process of elimination. Great garage

They totaled my car with a bad timing chain repair that caused my car to run out of time and shut down smoking on on the road. Before i initially paid them 4k to fix that chain, they lied and told me the car would run for another 100k miles if did the repairs were excited to charge me for, car was totally healthy otherwise. I said multiple times I would not do the repair if there was anything else wrong with the car, I'd had it for 10 years no real issues, drove across country and back in it. One inspection and expensive repair with this "family" and I'm not only homeless now but also without a car. Thanks so much for stealing my money, lying to me about the state of my car, botching your job and leaving me far worse off than before I'd ever stopped by. They told me they loved driving my car around though while they had it so I'm happy for them!
Highly recommend!! Knowledgeable, down to earth, realistic and understanding!!! They were on hold with my warranty company for hours to help fix my car! Helps me navigate keeping my car in good condition with normal maintenance reminders but is also realistic about what needs replacing and repair vs what can wait. Great people and great prices.
As is always the same, I had anoteather great experience in that the car was taken promptly, worked on efficiently & correctly, everything done was explained simply and the invoice showed everything as explained. The best part is that the cost was quite reasonable!!! Affordable Automobile is the best maintenance service I have ever dealt with and it is so nice to be greeted by my first name and treated like a friend! They have a life-long customer in me. Anyone that does not go to them for car maintenance is making a HUGE mistake..
Fantastic place!
My son uses them for his work vehicle so I figured I would check them out.
No problems that I am aware of.
Work done promptly.
Great pricing.
And the people are like stepping back in time 50 years. Polite, funny, knowledgeable.
Definitely recommend.
The team at Affordable Automotive is truly top-notch. They really get that many of us are living paycheck to paycheck and need our vehicles to keep life moving. What stood out most was how they broke everything down — clearly explaining what needed immediate attention and what could wait until the next visit. No pressure, no upselling — just honest, thoughtful service. The estimate was spot on, the process was smooth, and the trust they build is rare these days. Shops like this are hard to come by. Highly recommend!
Great service. Prompt response to inquiries. Missy was extremely polite and attentive. Listened to my request and performed admirably. Happy with the tires. If there was one negative issue (minor)… there were no valve caps on my new tires…
The most professional mechanic and trustworthy I ever worked with my family has worked with Shae for years. I was impressed by the family ran atmosphere. Very inexpensive for great quality work name speaks for itself ! Thank you
I always have a great experience with affordable automotive ! They are professional, quick, and really knowledgeable. My cars are fixed in no time, and the prices are good. Highly recommend their services!
I needed to get an inspection sticker on my car really quick because my sticker had expired and they were very helpful to get me in the next day. They were very friendly and quick. and the price was great. I am going back to get an oil change. and I’m very happy to find a really good place to continue my SUV maintenance.
Missy and Tara were both super kind and helpful. Staff kept me posted through out the process. I got my brakes done for my car, and when they saw I needed a couple more things done they called to let me know and ask if I wanted those services done also before proceeding. Price was affordable and reasonable. Will be recommending to others and will be back if needed. 10/10 service and staff.
Really happy with Affordable Auto Repair. They got my truck in on short notice did a 65 point inspection. They addressed all the issues with my truck professionally in a timely manner and it was indeed affordable. Already have an appointment to get my brakes done!
When you want a great mechanic that won’t take advantage of you. They are your guys.
Honest about what needed done and they got the job done fast. They really make the time to know you and what I wanted done. Definitely will be back and I have told all my friends about the great service I got.
Told me Needed a new right and left assembly New battery new Radiator. All after the accident. Which is fine. Picked up the car after the work was officially done since it took 3 months. with no right headlight working at all. Come to find out after remembering I took a picture after I got the car back after the crash. Which was just shortly before the The work was finalized. Since it was 3 Months before I could Pay So after 2 months I had them tow it back. To me I sent it back with both headlights working. (Pulled over several times for not having it due to my work schedule.) Because when I looked the plug for the light was unplugged . Then my battery was replaced and was said to be new and my car constantly has battery issues and had issues less than 2 weeks after being fixed. This was fixed in March maybe but I Never took my car to the shop on my own and this is how I was treated. The car has had multiple dead batteries. So they unplugged the headlight on purpose and gave me a dead battery. I’m afraid to get my radiator checked to see if it’s good and my Auxiliary Radiator is good.
Shae, Tori and the team at Affordable Automotive Repair in Hampstead NH is worth the trip from Salem NH. His automotive knowledge is wide ranging and seems to be able to figure out just about anything. Tori is very friendly, professional and capable handling the logistics. My family and I bring several cars ranging from newer to older with a variety of issues. We appreciate their efforts and recommend them
I brought my for bronco to Shae and he was very kind, and was able to fix my car! They also have two very cute, sweet dogs, Ollie and Otto, in the reception area. The reception lady was very friendly and made my experience very smooth. I will be bringing my car here for future work.
