Great service. They quoted me a price and when they were done it was $200 less than I was expecting .. ÷ they have loaners to use good work
SOLID REPUTATION, FAIR PRICE. After getting a brings-tears-to-your-eyes quote from another shop, I asked around for another recommendation was told about North Bridge. Joe gave me a fair quote over... read more the phone to replace everything about my front brakes including the flexible hoses and set a low expectation of ten days to do the work. This shop, unlike the other which wanted to replace the rear brake system, too, pointed out that the rear brakes were "not that bad" despite the other shop having diagnosed that the entire three year old rear brake system needed replacement. Now, to the other shop's credit, one of the caliper bolts was broken on a rear brake (I actually think the first shop broke it in their inspection since the problem was only noticed after I retrieved it from that first shop). Once the front brakes were done, and I picked up the car from North Bridge, I noticed a metallic "clank" sound from the rear tire when driving over even the smallest bumps. That evening using the key drop slot and an envelope, I dropped it back off again here for further work but this time on the rear brakes. I'd have been happy to pay, but they diagnosed the broken rear caliper bolt and replaced it "no charge". I allowed plenty of time dropping off my car early and not expecting it for ten days. They surprised me by getting it done much more quickly than expected. These guys are a treasure in the community. Thank you for your great service! You came highly recommended from an auto body repairman in town, and you fully lived up to that reputation. This is a trustworthy (and thankfully reasonably priced) shop!

Last April 19, 2023 I was driving on I 90 late at night. There was a severe storm with lightning, heavy rain and a high velocity headwind. The vehicle started... read more to shutter. I had to slow way down. I was eastbound about 5 miles west of Albert Lea. I pulled off at exit 157. Fortunately, North Bridge Auto Plaza was close by but it was closed. Since it was after midnight I pulled into the car lot, called their office, left a message and waited. First thing in the morning a young man named Nate came up to my vehicle and said he could pull it in to take a look. A little later the manager okayed the repairs that were needed, even though the work was unexpected for them. A spark plug housing was cracked and the plug had gotten wet. I was back on the road by 9:30am. I was grateful and amazed by the attention I received. It was a great help to me. I was 500 miles away from home and still had three hours left to get to my destination so I was greatly relieved to have the car running good and very appreciative of the men at North Bridge Auto Plaza who offered their service with such a helpful attitude.
