On March 30th, I took the car to Cheeseman's after AAA had told me that I had a bad pulley. I asked that the pulley be repaired, and also asked that the brakes be checked, as I had heard them grinding. Later the same day, I was told that my AC compressor had to be replaced, and that all the brakes were fine except that the front ones would need to be replaced fairly soon. I opted to just have the compressor repaired at this time. When I drove the car that evening, I still heard the back brakes grinding, smoke coming from the engine, and the turn signals and hazard lights were no longer working properly. I thought about taking the car back to Cheeseman's, but before I got a chance, they called me and told me that they had forgotten to charge the AC compressor, and asked that I bring my car back in so they could do that. I agreed, and dropped my car off first thing this morning. A short time later, I returned their call to learn that the AC condenser needed to be replaced. I was also told that the back brake shoes and drums had to be replaced. I found this odd as I was told the day before that there was no problem with the back brakes. I had also asked that the relay switch for the turn signals and hazard lights be checked, but I'm not sure if that was even done. They asked for another $750 to fix the condenser and $450 to repair the back brakes, after I had already paid $1100. When I first took the car in, I had asked them initially to let me know what the full cost of repair was going to be, as I wanted to make a decision as to whether or not it was worth it to have such an old car repaired. If I had known that the back brakes needed to be repaired, I would have had them do that the first time I took the car in, but the lady I spoke with on the phone assured me several times the brakes were fine and that the grinding noise was probably due to dust and debris buildup. Not only am I very disappointed that my car is not repaired, the turn signals and hazard lights no longer function properly and I can't even drive it because of the brakes. I feel pretty stupid and embarrassed for trusting Cheesman's with my car, and was literally holding back tears when I went to retrieve it. They had had great reviews and recommendations on my neighborhood Facebook page. I will be taking my car to another shop to have my car properly repaired, as well as to check the work done by Cheeseman's. Honestly, if I had known that the total repairs would be well over $2000, I prwould have started purchasing another car instead.

After spending $1800 a different shop, the noises were still there. We decided we needed a second opinion. The people at Bexley were amazing! They checked the previous work and found the actual problem. The repair service and the staff were wonderful. More importantly, the owner (Kyle), went above and beyond for the comfort of my mother. She was dealing with the car for me and does not like to drive in the city. On the first day that they had the car Kyle called her and told her he wanted to show her the issue, when she said she would grab an Uber, he insisted on picking her up! After he walked her through the issues with the car, he drove her back! During their time in the car together he asked how she was liking Columbus. She said she had not had much time to explore since she had been dealing with the car. She had really wanted to check out the Conservatory but didn't think she would make it after all. The next day Kyle drove her there and bought her the ticket! Then after she had spent the day, he brought her my repaired car! Thank you Kyle for treating my mom (and my car) so well!

Well folks, look no further, this neighborhood shop has it all! Had a rare issue w/a Honda and dropped a few hundred dollars at two other shops for a diagnosis that no one could figure out. Called these folks who got me in fast and found the problem in half the time for 1/3 of the cost. The owners called me, gave me expert information, options, and factual honesty! They also saved me at least $5k so they're clearly the new family mechanic shop! Seriously ya'll, they don't make mechanics like this anymore and when they do, they're rare. Superb service, phenomenal mechanics, helpful, honest, very fair pricing, and just amazing people all around. Cheers!

They now have a bigger facility, nice customer lounge with TV and free cold beverages. They recently got a new logo, and business is booming. All their mechanics are ASE certified, and they know what they are doing. I have three vehicles that I have serviced here regularly for brakes, tune ups, air conditioning, suspension and occasionally oil changes. In one of my vehicles I needed a new engine and they gave me three options depending on your budget: Junk yard used engine with 30 day warranty, reconditioned engine with one year warranty or new engine with three year warranty. I opted for the new engine. My vehicle now runs very good and have had no other issues with the engine since the engine was replaced. Their prices are very very reasonable compared to other mechanics. I always shop around and they almost always come in below what other shops charge. I trust them and I won't go anywhere else.

They tried to explain that they had a technician leave a week before they made my appointment. No phone call before I got there to advise me of their problems. It's apparent that customer service is not one of their top priorities. I'm going to steer clear of this place and definitely would not recommend them to anyone!

They took advantage of me. Why even have the "call me with an estimate" option if they aren't going to do that? They kept my car all day. I even called mid-day and talked to someone on the phone and he never told me the cost of anything, never warned me about cost or talked numbers. He never offered advice about the services I'd requested, like what maintenance was typically done at this mileage. I learned to always request an estimate, to not be naive and trusting.

I'll try to keep my review brief. Back in June, my Hyundai Sonata was targeted and broken into for…read morean attempted theft. They broke the glass and while they didn't steal the car, they completely messed up my steering panel. I tried calling a couple places that could fix this, C.A.R.S. told me they could, so I had my tow truck drop it off there. It took about a month to get my car back (that wasn't entirely their fault, my understanding is there was a cyber hack that delayed things. Still, it would have been nice for them to let me know that update versus me calling them asking what was going on). Not long after, my car was having trouble turning on. Tried jumper cables, that didn't work. So again, I had my car towed back to C.A.R.S. for further inspection. They replaced the starter. A month later, again, I was having troubles turning my car on and took it back for a third time to C.A.R.S. They told me basically nothing was wrong, my vehicle is in "theft mode" and if I just play around with the key fob, it should work. I found that odd because I never do anything different when I get in my car and turn it on, but ok. From there, sometimes it would turn on, sometimes it would not. I would have to basically hope and pray the "key fob" trick would work. After some more time, that no longer would work and I had to use jumper cables to get my car to turn on. I no longer could trust C.A.R.S. to fix this issue, as I kept racking up charges and my car was never reliable. So I took it to Luke's Auto instead. There, they found my module was completely disconnected. Since I had to jump my car so often, I now needed a new battery. I'm not a car guy, so getting into the specifics on the repairs is above my pay grade. But here's what I can confidently share: Driving (if I could drive at all) my car ever since I took it to C.A.R.S. made my life hell. Between my initial insurance claim and future visits, I spent thousands of dollars to not have a reliable vehicle. Ever since I took it to Luke's, it has been a pain-free experience and my vehicle has been perfectly normal. Had I simply taken my car there back in June, I would have saved so much money and had so much less stress. Not to mention, they came across significantly more communicative and customer-friendly, from their waiting room all the way to their follow-ups.
