What clients say about Wakefield Auto Repair in Wakefield-Peacedale (RI)
Great Experience and super friendly guys! Im not from Rhode Island and wasnt aware how imfamous this state is for their potholes. They were able to help me out within a day and get me a new tire and replace it for me super fast for a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them to anyone.
I want to share a recent experience I had with Wakefield Auto Repair shop.
I am relatively new to South County area and after searching on line for a reliable auto repair shop and reading all the positive reviews they received, on 02/17/26 I brought my wife Hyundai Tucson to them for service and met Gabe and Zack.
They serviced the car at a reasonable price and I was pleased with the timely service.
On Sunday March 7th I was at Westerly Home Depot and my Ram truck would not start.
Called AAA and had to find a solution as to where to bring it.
It was Sunday evening at around 8PM and the snow started to come down.
I knew the shop was closed on Sunday’s and did’t know if I could drop the truck off at their location.
Even though unlikely I decided to call and see if someone would answer.
To my surprise Gabe the owner answered and was kind enough to let me drop the truck off.
The Blizzard dropped 3 ft of snow in south County.
On Wednesday morning after the driving ban was lifted I called Gabe and asked him if I could come by and remove the snow off the truck so they would be able to servicing it.
Gabe told me that they had already removed the snow, found the the started was the problem and because they could not get the truck inside the shop, Zack was outside under the truck working on it and it should be finished in about 1 1/2 hr.
What can I say! How many businesses would pick up the phone when they are closed, clean 3ft of snow off the truck, work outside in the cold under it and complete the job in record time.
My thanks again to Gabe and Zack for the care, work ethic and great service the provided.
I will always recommend them to any friend or family.

I always have a fantastic experience with Wakefield Auto Repair. I recently brought my vehicle in for work, and they inspected my car thoroughly, explained the issues going on in simple terms, and gave a fair price. The repair was completed in a very timely manner, and my vehicle drives perfectly now. Gabe and his crew are truly the best! Most definitely will be back for future repairs.
Quick, easy, affordable and kind! All you can ask for from your local mech shop. I drove to Wakefield all the way from Pawtucket for this and it was well worth it. I will be brining all my cars here moving forward. Gabe is great to work with and the facility is clean and efficient. Communication was awesome and he worked with our schedule and budget nicely. Five stars and even more if I could!
Such an excellent team. Love this place. They noticed my tire was flat then squeezed me in put the car on a lift and found and fixed a leak in my valve and then only charged me $20. Unbelievably friendly, helpful and exceptional customer service.
Gabe and his crew are simply the best. Rarely, if ever, do you need an appointment. I can just roll in around 8 AM, have a quick chat about concerns, and I get a call shortly thereafter with a beyond reasonable quote only covering things I need and no add ons.
I cannot recommend this business enough. My wife and I go there for all of our vehicle concerns.
Friendly, fast, and fair priced. I called mid day and they were able to take my car in, install a replacement part, and get my car back to me SAME day! I will be using them for all future needs.
Always have driven by this place as it's close to home, but have never taken my vehicle there. I needed an oil change and brake fluid flush and after getting a quote from the dealership I decided to look local. WAR not only gave me a much better price, but they got me in within 3 days and had my vehicle for less than 3 hours. In the past the dealership would keep it almost the entire day. Very satisfied and will be returning.
Being new to the Wakefield area, I wasn’t sure where to bring my car when my brakes suddenly started grinding. I found Wakefield Auto in a Google search and am so grateful I did! Zach and Gabe are super nice and serviced my car right away, replacing all the brakes/rotors in a few hours. They even cleaned my rusty calipers to save me some $, for which I was very thankful! My car is getting old so I’m very happy to have an honest, quick, and competent auto repair place only 10 minutes from my home!
They are awesomely engaged with customer service and always look to provide a fair price not just look in book and retrieve random numbers. My favorite place to bring my car!
I can’t say enough good things about Wakefield Auto Repair! Gabe, the owner, is incredibly kind, honest, and genuinely cares about his customers. I brought my van in right before a big trip, and they were absolute lifesavers, replacing my tires, brakes, struts, shocks, and axles, all around. They finished everything in just two days and had my van ready before the weekend so I could hit the road with confidence. The prices were very fair, and the whole experience was stress-free. It’s rare to find a shop this honest and dependable. Highly recommend Wakefield Auto Repair and huge thanks to Gabe and the team!
We called Gabe to take a our daughters vehicle in as she was having issues with it on her way home from classes at URI, and took us in right away and asked us for all the details on our issues. He looked at the vehicle the very next morning and called me with details to what the problems were along with options for us to take measures to mitigate the issue. I feel as though some places would have just given me the option to place in a whole new transmission, but Gabe was transparent and thoughtful with our issues and gave us a very affordable option. This option allowed us see that the transmission fluid has not been changed throughout the vehicles life and needed it badly. I am hoping this solves the issues for our daughter, as I am grateful to Gabe for even giving us this chance of resolution.
Thank you Gabe and Wakefield Auto team! Wakefield Auto is always reliable, quick, and very fair with pricing. Very friendly people too. Best place in South Kingstown to take your car!
I was able to drop my car off on a Saturday at 1 and pick it up at 2:45- they were able to do rear brakes and an oil change! Incredibly happy with the service and the speed of work!
Gabe and Zach are the best! Have had my oil changed here many times, and always so grateful for them squeezing me in when I don’t think to schedule in advance. I feel confident leaving knowing they’ve checked my tires and levels, (I drive a ton for work), not to mention they are just nice, trustworthy guys! So happy to have them in town.
I brought my car in to Wakefield Auto for the first time last fall, when I was experiencing a weird grinding noise while driving. They walked me through all of the issues and fixes to the car, along with letting me know what may be an issue in the future. Since then I have been back to them for all of my immediate problems! They have always been efficient and thorough when fixing my car, and I have sent many of my friends to them, all of whom have also had great experiences.
If you have the choice, choose Wakefield Auto! I had a quote from another mechanic for front brakes on my Prius. I took it to Wakefield Auto for a second opinion and I couldn’t be happier with these guys. Gabe looked at my car immediately and gave me an estimate that was well below what the other mechanic gave me. Pricing was fair and transparent and he had the work done efficiently. He’s also super friendly! Great experience with Wakefield Auto.
I recently had a large amount of work done to my 2017 FORD F-150 pickup truck. Gabe, the mechanic, promised to have the work completed by Tuesday. On Monday, the Columbus Day holiday at 8:30 PM, Gabe called to say my truck was ready. His work, reliability, and price were outstanding. Thank you - Gabe!
I brought my car in because it wouldn’t turn on and faced a number of restrictions on my end that I thought would be inhibitive of it getting serviced. The guys at Wakefield auto repair assured me I was in good hands, and got my car started in less than a day. These guys are super funny, friendly, and set the standard for healthy professionalism in the workplace and between client relations. I would, and WILL be bringing my car back in the event I run into more issues, and would recommend you do too.
I have been going to Gabe along with my husband and adult children because he is Honest and always has our safety and best interests in mind. He is trustworthy and I highly recommend his services!!
Gabe and Zack are the best!!! Honest, efficient, and quality repair shop! I’ve been going to Wakefield Auto for over 7 years. From breaks to oil changes to any sort of engine problem I’ve ever had. They are so kind and helpful and I never feel like I’m getting ripped off. Love this place!!
Hi
Gabe the owner of Wakefield Auto takes care of our three vehicles.
On Saturday I walked in and asked him to measure my tire pressure. He had two cars on the lift but he was polite and took a break to measure my tire pressure. I was due for an oil change and tire rotation and I was able to bring my car in two days later.
Gabe and his staff worked on my car and did not flinch when I asked if they could also replace the brake fluid. My total bill was $240. I'm sure if I had taken my new car to the dealer it would have been at least twice as expensive. My car was finished quickly and he checked multiple preventative maintenance issues with out my needing to prompt.
My 27 year old daughter and my 22 year old niece also get their cars serviced there. They feel respected and treated fairly. I highly recommend them. Skip the dealers and chain stores and go local with Gabe and his team.
Gabe and Wakefield Auto have been servicing my Volvo XC70, Ioniq 5, and Plugin Prius for several years now. I trust Gabe and have confidence in his workmanship. He always explains each service and options available. He just completed a major unexpected job on our Prius that included replacing front control arms and front axle as we planned on replacing tires. Gabe’s prices are reasonable, fair, and communication excellent. 10 out of 10.
During filling a tire at a quick air fill station the stem broke on my family vans tire. Gabe and the team at Wakefield Auto was able to get me right in before my tire went flat. We had a car full of kids and a pup and they were able to diagnose, repair, and get us back on the road in less than 5 minutes. They truly saved the day! I had never been there before but will be going back to them for future service! 10/10 service
Absolutely amazing experience!! As a college age girl who has never gotten any maintenance done on her car without her dad there, I was super nervous! Gabe never made me feel nervous or dumb, and was great at communicating! Amazing prices and service, you really can’t beat it. If you’re a URI student unsure of where to trust, I HIGHLY recommend Wakefield Auto Repair :)
I recently started working on Main Street in Wakefield and found myself in need of brakes, tires, and a synthetic oil change—repairs that were going to be costly and require leaving my car with a mechanic for the day. After calling around, I discovered Wakefield Auto Repair, which was conveniently within walking distance of my office.
I spoke with Gabe, who was friendly, accommodating, and able to book me just two days later. His quote was competitive compared to other shops I called, and ultimately more affordable than splitting the work between different places for tires, oil, and brakes in an attempt to save money.
I dropped my car off first thing Friday morning, and to my surprise, it was ready that same afternoon. The service was quick, honest, and hassle-free. I’ll definitely be bringing my car back for future repairs and highly recommend Wakefield Auto Repair to anyone looking for quality, trustworthy service—ask for Gabe!
We are driving through from Philly and our check engine light went on. We were seen right away. So helpful! Luckily is was nothing serious but they examined, reassured us and sent us on our way. Very grateful for the kind and quick service!
I needed an honest mechanic so I did my research and dropped an Acura off for a misfire. It was done In 2 hours, incredible service, professionalism and great prices. Will be using this shop from now on for our other vehicles. Cars cause lots of anxiety at times- good knowing this neighborhood shop is there for you. 5 stars!!
