Northborough ? Not much can go wrong with a car that Lamy Automotive can?t fix.
Kevin Lamy has been working on cars since 1984, and running his own repair shop since 1990. Ray Everitt joined Lamy?s shop a few years ago, after operating his own auto air conditioning repair business in Westborough.
Between them, ?We can handle just about everything,? Lamy said. ?We do all general maintenance work?brakes, tires, exhaust systems, shocks. We specialize in electrical repairs. And, of course, air conditioning systems. We work on every make and model out there, foreign and domestic. There?s not too much we can?t fix.?
Services available include tune-ups, oil changes, brake service, engine and transmission service, computer diagnostics, radiators and heating repairs.
The shop also offers fleet maintenance for light trucks and does emergency snowplow repairs during winter storms.
Lamy moved his business to the current location on Bartlett Street four years ago, providing a spacious work space that can accommodate several automobiles at a time, as well as a comfortable waiting area for customers.
If a customer needs to leave the car, Lamy offers a shuttle service to local destinations, either home or office.
?Weather permitting, we also wash all the cars after we finish working on them,? he added.
Lamy urges customers to make appointments for service, though he makes every effort to squeeze people in when they have an emergency. Scheduled appointments are generally available within a day or two of a call.
Those scheduled appointments are an important way to avoid the need for emergency service, Lamy pointed out.
?The biggest mistake people make with their cars is failing to keep up with the scheduled maintenance. We see too many people put things off. For example, replacing the timing belt is a scheduled item, and if you don?t do it, you can ruin your engine.
?Everything?s cheaper when you take care of it in advance. If you try to save a dollar, it can end up costing a hundred.?
Lamy takes pride in the thoroughness of his work. ?Even if it?s just an oil change, we check the tires, make sure everything is greased.?
Lamy Automotive also offers better pricing on repairs and maintenance than dealer service departments, he said. ?We?re about 25 percent off the dealer price and you?re getting the same job.?
?The biggest compliment I got from a customer was the comment that, if I wasn?t so honest, I could probably have made a lot more money in this business. But I have to sleep at night. We never rip anyone off,? Lamy said.
Lamy Automotive is open on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but is closed on weekends.
?I have three daughters and I love being with them. With their sports and all, if I worked weekends I?d never get my lawn mowed,? Lamy said with a laugh.
The shop is located at 200 Bartlett St. in Northborough. For an appointment or information, call Lamy at 508-393-9399.
