Eli's Garage Malden, MA

​On the corner of Beach and Salem Street in Malden is an auto repair shop that was once a thriving repair shop and gas station called Amato's Auto Repair and then Gary’s Auto Services.

Recently the property at 12 Beach St was purchased by Eli,  the owner of Teele Sq Auto in Somerville, who also owns Eli’s Service Station in Arlington. This is a good thing for the Linden neighborhood of Malden.  I have seen the transformation of the above-mentioned auto repair shops by Eli.

The improvements will be good for the neighborhood as Eli plans big things for the Malden location, including a complete makeover of the exterior of the building, a repaving of the large lot, new signage, and new lights to properly illuminate the property.

The shop's new name, Eli's Garage, Eli's Garage, will provide complete auto repair and maintenance services on all foreign and domestic cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. In addition to car repair, Malden residents will be able to get their vehicles inspected as soon as they become a Mass Inspection Station.

If you live or work in the Malden area, you won’t be disappointed with the auto repair services you will find at Eli's Garage.

I recently moved to Malden, MA, a few months ago.  After finally unpacking and getting organized, I searched for a car repair shop that could handle maintenance and repairs on my car.  I drove around to several repair shops; there are a lot of shops in Malden, and stopped in on a couple shops to chat with the mechanic or owner.  The only shop that piqued my interest was Hub Starters on Broadway in Malden.  My first reaction was, why is this place named Hub Starters?  Well, as it turns out, the name fits as the business model from over 35 years ago was to be the hub of automobile and truck starter repair and rebuilding that morphed into a complete auto repair shop.

With so many choices for car repair shops in Malden, here are the top 3 things I liked about Hub Starters:

• They are the only AAA repair shop in Malden, MA
• Over 35 years in business
• Mass State inspection station

Since moving into Malden, I used Hub Starters two times, the first for an inspection sticker and an oil change, then a couple months later for a brake job.

​Anyone new to the Malden area looking for an auto repair shop should look no further than Hub Starters.
