Vineyard Haven · Martha’s Vineyard

The island’s working garage.

Mechanical repair and Massachusetts inspection stickers at 46 High Point Lane. Independent, ASE‑certified, and straight with you from the first phone call.

Repairs

Fixed right, explained straight.

No diagnosis over the phone, no made-up quotes. Joe looks at your vehicle, tells you what it needs, and gives you the estimate before the work starts.

Brakes

Pads, rotors, lines, the shudder you’ve been ignoring.

Suspension & steering

Shocks, struts, ball joints — island roads earn their keep.

Tires

Mount, balance, rotate, replace. Flats fixed same visit when we can.

Alignments

If it pulls, wanders, or eats tires — bring it in.

Tune-ups & maintenance

Plugs, filters, fluids, belts — the boring stuff that keeps you off the tow list.

Electrical diagnosis

Dead batteries, gremlins, warning lights that won’t quit.

Oil changes

Call it in — Joe rings you back to set it up.

Commercial trucks & semis

Up through Class A. Work trucks are how this island runs.

Inspection Stickers

Every make. Every sticker.

Repairs have limits — stickers don’t. European, EV, commercial, trailer: if it rolls, we inspect it. One vehicle at a time, so your slot is actually yours.

  • Mon–Thu, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM — book any hour, day or night
  • Same-day slots: be here within 15 minutes or the spot opens back up
  • Cancel free — just call us back

Pick your inspection

State-set prices. No surprises at the counter.

The Shop

A working shop, not a showroom.

Steel building, proper lifts, and usually a full frame-off restoration sitting on the floor between the day’s brake jobs. That’s the kind of wrenching that happens here.

While You Wait

…but the waiting room’s clean.

Bright, quiet, TV on, and a front-row window into the bays so you can watch your car get looked after. In and out for a sticker in about fifteen minutes.

No doubts the best shop to do a state inspection on Martha’s Vineyard! … Nicole was able to schedule our car inspection on the next day! I was in and out with my inspection complete within 15 minutes, didn’t have to wait in line! Definitely coming back next year.

One number.
Any hour.

If the crew’s under a car, Vidd — our phone assistant — picks up instead of voicemail. She books inspections on the spot and takes down exactly what Joe needs to call you back about a repair. Midnight included.
