I am one of those customers mechanics hate to see coming. If I get any sense that something's not quite right, I will ask question after question, request old parts be returned to me, and have even insisted on being shown exactly what they say is in need of repair. Why? Because I have had some awful experiences and learned the hard way.
Never having needed a mechanic in Dayton until now, I followed the advice of my friend who takes his car to Beavercreek, and whose parents do as well.
I am SO GLAD I did! Craig, the owner, is very laid back. He checked over my vehicle and called me to let me know what was wrong, then called me a second time because he'd found something else that could be a problem later on. At no time did he seem to be trying to sell me anything - in fact, when I told him I could wait on a couple things I'd originally asked for, he simply took those off the sheet.
When I came to pick up my vehicle, I was delighted to find that no one had readjusted my seat or pedals (I'm short and am forever having to set everything back the way I like it!). It was perfectly clean inside, not a smudge of grease or dirt anywhere. No fingerprints on the hood or the rest of the body. Nothing!
They have definitely earned another customer for life - and I'm one to tell friends about good mechanics, too. read more
