I've called day of, realizing I am well over miles due for an oil change and he gets me in quick. Once he even lent me a car to drive while he was fixing mine. Paul takes care of people.

I had messaged with Melinda about Bobby coming out to swap a seized ac compressor on my 04 escape…read more He came out in a timely manor and fixed it on a SUNDAY! Bobby was EXTREMELY helpful and got the new compressor installed within an hour or so. I think I found my new mechanic in the Columbus Area. They only do Mobile service for now but that works best for me because he came straight to my apt and fixed my car there! If anyone needs work done I would highly recommend this company. Fast, easy, convenient, and affordable! I was expecting to pay a lot more than I did but they are professional and understand that good service and reasonable prices go a lot farther than most anything else!

Generous 4 stars (3.5 would be more accurate for me)…read more There's a few things I love about this shop and a few I don't. Firstly the loves: - I love the convenience of this shop being walkable to me - Woman-owned and operated - Supportive of other local businesses Things I don't love: - It isn't the cheapest. Even oil changes cost a bit more here. - At our last visit, we scheduled our oil change, dropped it off the day before, and it still took all day the following day before the service was completed. Not having a car all day for a regular oil change is not great. For me, it can be worth it for some services, but know that you will be paying a bit more and may not get the fastest completion of services.

I go to their website to check their hours and boom, there's a scheduling option where you can make an appointment and log all of your concerns ahead of time. They even had an option to reserve transportation to and from the shop. I got a text when my car was ready and a link to the inspection results along with a breakdown of any future work needed, talk about convenience. The woman I worked with at the shop was also friendly and reminded me how close they are to Short North, so you can easily walk to grab food or shop while waiting on your car. Easy breezy experience!

It was also getting into winter and my Socal self had no idea what that entailed. After doing some research online and on reddit, I found Valentino's as a mechanic that was both reputable and fair priced. I have to admit, I know VERY little about car care and have always just left it in the hands of my mechanics so there is definitely a high level of trust that they won't price gauge me. Seeing as I knew nothing, I left everything in the hands of the employees at Valentino's. I literally told them I just drove out from CA and need an oil change and whatever winter requires. I'm pretty sure I just looked like a deer caught in headlights cause honestly, what is snow even? Anyways, they completed the job in a couple of hours and explained to me what they did. Apparently, my car was already winter ready and my car really only need an oil and air filter change. The total was completely reasonable and they didn't try to sell me any extras. They definitely could have made up some winter requirements and I would have just jumped on it. Anyways, if your car needs repairs of any kind, I'd highly recommend Valentino's! I've already been sending my friends there and everyone's been happy so far!
