My family has worked with Huntsman's Auto Service, since the early 1980s, when Bill told my…read morehigh-school-age brother, seeking an inexpensive car, to put together two junkyard Volkswagens, one with a decent body and one with a decent engine. It worked. Since I returned to my hometown almost 20 years ago, I have used their services regularly. During that time, Bill and Spencer accurately diagnosed problems, explained the situations to me, worked to keep costs low, and provided transportation when I needed a ride after dropping off a car. They use lifetime guaranteed replacement parts wherever possible and appropriate, which helps if you drive your cars, as I do, for more than 200,000 miles. They even helped me take the back seats of a van out (and put them back in) when I couldn't handle that myself and needed to move furniture. Their crowning achievement was helping me with an older Toyota Prius into which we installed a cheaper, non-Toyota replacement hybrid battery. The older one had lasted almost 15 years more than 160,000+ miles. Although there was no indication before purchase that the non-Toyota hybrid battery had potential issues, it failed after only 13 months of service. Bill and Spencer worked with the local parts dealer to help me get money back from the company that made the bad battery, arranged a dealer's discount on a new Toyota battery, installed the new battery for free, and worked well with a dealer and service manager at Byers Toyota in Delaware, Ohio when a complex electrical wiring issue, left over from the old battery, could not be diagnosed without a proprietary Toyota diagnosis instrument. A perk of working with Huntsman Auto was the repeated kindness shown to my family by Bill and Spencer. For example, although both my elderly parents had dementia and trouble communicating, Bill would take time to tell car stories to my elderly father and to reassure my elderly mother when we took her van in to be fixed. Bill helped me take the back seats of a van out (and put them back in) when I couldn't handle that myself and needed to move furniture. Both he and Spencer give me money-saving tips, such as duplicating electronic car keys at Rocky's Cyclery rather than the relevant dealers. Additionally, I had my older van towed to Huntsman's late one night from a location 35 miles away. The transmission shift cable on the steering column had broken, leaving the car in reverse with the back-up lights engaged. I called Spencer because I knew the battery would be drained if the lights were left on overnight after it had been towed to the garage. He checked the garage camera from his phone and came in from his home a short distance away as soon as he saw the tow truck driver leave the vehicle. Spencer both disengaged the gears and moved the car that the tow-truck driver had literally dumped in the middle of a public alley, rather than, as requested, in the dealer's lot. That saved me a potential towing fee from the city and saved the garage personnel any possible hassle of dealing with neighbors who might be annoyed if their access was compromised. Overall, Huntsman Auto is a strong, service-oriented business. Shay Baker
