Outstanding service, knowledge, business practices, do not take your car anywhere else! Seriously, these people know what they are doing, with all makes, ands models, including the expensive models. They do exceptional work, my care always runs 100% better , after a visit. Thank you Evans read more

These guys took pretty good care of me. Quick turnaround time on service and honesty about required services. They helped me chase down a discreet issue with an axle on an older car. It took a couple of tries, but they figured it out. They cannot be blamed for the recurrence though and they were exceedingly professional. Price shopped on some of the work done, and they came in just about where the other estimates were. If you want good and reliable work from an honest broker, this is the place to go. read more

terrible - they broke my sunroof and claimed it came in that way. I have a class action lawsuit with this company, if anyone has received unwanted phone calls or text messages when they did not want them from this company. PLEASE send an email to evansautocarelawsuit@gmail.com read more

Took my car there for a rattle I heard coming from the front end. Called me back with a estimate of 5500 dollars with things that had nothing at all to do with front end. I don't understand why they couldn't just focus on what I asked them to do. Anyway I told them I only want the rattle resolved in the front end, Called me back with a 3500 estimate which I knew some of the things were not causing this Issue. I agreed to this estimate anyway because I could tell they were just trying to make a good pay day and I didnt have time to fix myself. Picked the car up after work was completed and the rattle was STILL there but my bank account was now 3500 less. Completely unbelievable. This gouging and not doing what the customer request should be illegal. Very ANGRY. read more

I was visiting Cincinnati and had tie rod and alignment damage on my front left side. John and the staff shuttled me back and forth from where I was visiting, provided a loaner car so we could continue our day and repaired the damage quickly so I could get the car back that day. Friendly and efficient, I would highly recommend Evans Auto. read more

They can't be trusted and gouge the customer. Typical Car Garage. I have taken my car to them out of necessity due to proximity a couple of times. I wasn't happy with the first time, because they gave my car back to me with the dashboard completely detached. I had to wait in the parking lot while a mechanic came back out and reattached it. I still paid full price, which is more than it should have been. The second time I went there, I gave explicit descriptions of a grinding occurring somewhere when accelerating - they said they identified the issue, "fixed it", then identified a leak in the coolant system I couldn't refute? They already had my car there so might as well have that fixed too. They "fixed that". I got my car back $1500 later. The main problem hadn't been fixe AT ALL. There still seems to be leak in the cooling system. When I called back to have this ridiculous time and money waste corrected, they offered nothing but full charge for any more work. This place will do typical car garage things - look for opportunities to gouge you. And worse, they didn't fix a thing. Take your car here if it's relatively new and has small issues. They are a terrible choice for anyone needing real work done. read more

This is my first experience in Evan's auto, l would highly recommend to visit, employees are really helpful and expert, they give you all needed time to explain and advice what best for you... and i must mention Mr. John, he was absouletly very helpful and understandable. they also provided me with shuttle, which made my day, prices believe are reasonable, wish them all the best. read more

Knowledgeable, fair, and friendly service. My car was overdue for some maintenance and was vibrating a bit at highway speeds. They took care of everything. My car drives like a dream! read more

Where to begin....... I was in Cincinnati visiting the family when my 18 year old Toyota started leaking antifreeze. Took it to Evan's who has been the long time family mechanic as far back as i can remember. Didn't even think twice about where to take it. 1. I paid $1035.62 for a radiator replacement and antifreeze. Afterwards I spoke with two Toyota dealerships and an independent shop and all 3 said I got taken to the proverbial cleaners. $550 just for an off brand radiator? Either they marked the price of the part way up and profitted on it or they don't do a good job procuring their parts vendors. (See invoice in pictures section). 2. I was charged for premium Toyota Red OEM antifreeze @ $30 per gallon ($60 total). I open the radiator cap once I got back to Indianapolis and what do i find? Green universal antifreeze. I wasn't too worried that green was put in my Toyota, but rather that they used cheap green and charged me for $60 worth of Toyota Red Antifreeze. When I called Brian at Evan's Auto Care he gave me some excuse about how it was a sister vendor of Toyota and it's the same spec. That's false. That doesn't exist. Don't use $5-$10 worth of bulk green and charge me for $60 worth of the Toyota Red. 3. I asked them to do an oil change while they were at it. Brian and I had a discussion about how my 18 year old Toyota has been running conventional for it's whole life so it would be a bad decision to put synthetic oil into it now. We agreed on a conventional oil change. When i took a hard look at the invoice i see that they put in and charged me for synthetic oil. I called Brian and asked him about it. He gave me a run around answer and assured me that they used conventional. Okay, so once again why are you charging me for premium fluids and putting in the cheap stuff? 4. Three days and 150 miles after I got the service and i had returned home to Indianapolis, i noticed the truck was leaking antifreeze. I took it to my local shop here in Indy and the diagnosis is that the radiator was either faulty or it was damaged when it was installed by Evans. Great, so not only was i taken to the cleaners, but the overpriced radiator didn't even make it a week. My Indy shop replaced my radiator, put on a new cap, flushed out my block, put in new antifreeze, add in labor, and the total cost out the door was $484.19 (see invoice in pictures section) That's $551 less than Evans and they did extra work and parts. Looking back on it i should have made better decisions. Get it towed back to Indy with my AAA membership? Throw in a bottle of bars leak radiator leak stopper? One thing is for sure though, this is not the same Evan's auto care that my parents took their vehicles to while i was growing up in Cincinnati. I was taken advantage of, lied to, made to feel dumb over the phone, and then the overpriced part/service failed. Evan's is no longer a family based small independent trustworthy shop. They've hit the big time with their fancy new 10 bay garage and now operate as a true corporation. Don't forget the loyal patrons who helped get you to where you are today. read more

Evan's Auto Care - Ridiculously overpriced part/service. Wrong fluids put in my Toyota. Was charged for premiums, they put in the cheap (see review - Auto Repair Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

See all

I have taken several of my cars to Evans Auto Care. They are both thorough and fairly priced for the work they do. They are excellent with their communication and even offer loaner vehicles with advanced appointments. read more

I have a relatively young Kia Optima and the dealer wants me to believe I need to go to their shop for scheduled maintenance. I used the dealer's website to see what needed to be done and how much it would cost. I then decided to take it back to Evan's Auto Care instead. They did what was required based on mileage and told me the cabin and other filters did not need changed. This saved me about $200 over the dealer. I trust them to do what is needed and nothing more. Plus, they treat me like an old friend every time I show up for service. read more

I have had our cars serviced by Evans for many years and every time the work done was excellent. Service is wonderful and they follow up to make sure we are a satisfied customer. read more

I have to give them one star because there is no other way to give them 0 or less , This people Will rip you off in daylight, they dont even believe there own word and Diagnostic Which I had to pay $120, for nothing , basically either I have to pay $800 or they dont warranty their own diagnostic, when I ask why John told me this is how we stay in business , This place is the worst place that you can take your car to for repair. Do yourself a big Favor and stay away from this place , and dont believe all these 5 star fake reviews , which Is obviously They paid to someone To write those reviews, read more

It's reeeeeealllllly tough to find a mechanic. It doesn't help that it's tough to get reviews about them. I mean, it's fairly cheap to take a risk and try a new restaurant. Plus I get hungry at least a few times a day, there is a near constant need for food. Thankfully my car needs work less frequently than I need food. So, all this is to say that I think I've found my mechanic in Cincinnati. The place is very clean and professional looking, there's about an 85% chance you'll be talking to the owner when you walk in, both Jim and Evan were good at listening to my experience with the car, explaining my car's problems to me once they opened it up, and trying to save me money during the repair. As near as I can tell the difference in my total cost was about $300 less than if I'd gone to a dealer. I've spent about 2 hours in their waiting room in my two trips in and they've got a rapport with every customer who comes in, the level of service must permeate the organization because a mechanic coming up front to get coffee asked me how I was doing while I was waiting. Evan and Jim put a fair markup on the headlight I was getting replaced, and did a massive amount of testing to try and figure out the failure mode (since it didn't just 'burn out'). After tracing it back to a bad ballast (an extremely expensive part), they were fine with me ordering the part online and installing it for me when it came in, this saved me over $100 (though like any place, they don't warranty other's parts). All an all i'm thrilled to have found them (was given the tip word-of-mouth from another of their presumably happy customers), I've only been in twice but I expect that I'll bump up my review if they continue their level of service on future trips. read more

We have been taking our cars to Evans ever since moving to Blue Ash five years ago. They're super nice and they do a good job. They're slightly more spendy than other places, but still usually less than the dealer. And it's worth it to know your car is in good hands. They have several loaner cars, although they can't guarantee one will be available and the loaners are older. They'll also do drop-offs and pick-ups to nearby locations. read more

This is precisely how a business should be run! I simply couldn't be more pleased. Folks... do not waste your time at your local chain Firestone, Midas, or chain shop. Turn around now, and drive to Evan's. I was recently visiting the Cincinnati area, and needed a repair. I'd had to visit a repair shop here a couple of month earlier, and had patronized a neighborhood shop. My car was fixed, but I left feeling I'd been fleeced .Not so at Evan's; not only was the price right, the service was top notch. First off... you get an immediate feeling of integrity. All is communicated clearly, and they help you to truly understand what it is they are telling you. On top of that, I'd price shopped, (funny how only the really good shops will give you a phone quote) and they were equal or less than the others. Any mechanic can fix a car, but not any mechanic can not make you believe they care, Evan's did just that... simple, old fashioned caring. And did I mention a shuttle? Yes, they dropped me off and picked me up after the job was done. If I lived here in the area, this would be my shop, no questions asked. read more

Evan's Auto is absolutely fantastic!! I cannot emphasis this more! My family and I are currently in the process of moving from Chicago to Cincinnati. My mother-in-law loaned me her BMW X5 to help with the move. My 16 month old daughter and I took off for Cincinnati in 1 degree weather. It was cold!!! I was warming up the car and noticed the orange check engine light came on and the temp gage was in the red, so I shut it off. I turned it back on and everything was fine. I figured it was just cold and all was ok so we hit the road. Just as we broke free of Chicago traffic and landed in Indiana the heater quit!!! Remember it's 1 degree outside and I have a baby. My dad always told me never to depend on electronics and computers so always travel with a map, blanket, candle, and a full book of matches. I grabbed the blanket, wrapped the babe up and continued on. We made it to Cincinnati unharmed. I instantly started to research repair shops and dealerships. I chose Evan's because it had nice reviews and was the closest shop. I went to the website to get the info and I discovered I could book the appointment online! Which is awesome but.... they were booked till friday and today was tuesday. What was I going to do with no car?? There wasn't even a grocery within walking distance!! I went a head and booked the appointment for friday. Bright and early Wednesday I get a phone call from Evan. He tells me to bring the car in ASAP and he will fit me in! I bundled up the babe and drove to the shop. The shop is very clean and there were all sorts of great amenities. He even had kid's books and toys! While I was giving all my information I overheard a conversation between Evan and another gentleman. The gentleman had a beautiful Porsche and was there to get maintenance. It seemed like the gentleman had been going there for years, which to me was a great sign. So there I am. Stranded. In freezing weather. With a baby. I wasn't in the shop all but 10 and here comes Evan, the owner, all bundled up. He looked at us and said are you ready to go. I will take you back to your hotel!! I grabbed the car seat. We secured it in the van and he drove us 20 minutes back to our hotel. On the drive we had a fantastic conversation. He was very kind and intelligent. I gave him the short story of our current situation. He asked me if I need to go to the grocery or needed to get some supplies. What?? He was going to give us a ride to the grocery?? What an incredible man! This is truly a family owned and operated business. This type of business everyone dreams and wishes all businesses were like. Talk about great first impressions. Evan's Auto Care is my place! As long as I live in Cincinnati this is where I will take my car. THANK YOU EVAN AND ALL OF YOUR AWESOME EMPLOYEES! read more

After some careful Yelp research, I decided to bring our new (to us) 2008 Nissan Altima to Evan's for our first oil change. Evan was very straight forward and honest. They also checked our fluid and put air in the tires for free! I love supporting local small business owners, and this place is exactly why. His reputation for great, quick, honest service has just earned Evan's a new life-long devotee! read more

Evan's Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

They have done great work for me. Great communication and quick service. Recommend highly

I recently had a serious warning light come on while on my way to work. I knew I needed to get off the road fast so I pulled into Evan's Auto Care as I had passed it many times on my way to work. I was very pleased with the customer service, professionalism, status updates of my repair all day, and the complimentary shuttle to and from my office. They fixed the problem to my complete satisfaction and charged a fair price. I recommend Evan's to others, and I will not hesitate to use their services again. read more

The power steering went out on my 13 year old car, and I took it to Evan's for repairs. I decided to go ahead and get everything done that was coming up due. They treated me with respect and even loaned me a car at no extra cost as they were going to have mine for a few days. My car is running like new. read more

Evan's helped me tremendously after the dealership I had received service from (due to my extended warranty) didn't screw in one of the boots associated with my brakes. I drove 9 hours without a bolt in one of my breaks. They did a full inspection for me along with fixing the issue at hand for only $57. I was extremely pleased and wish I lived in Cincinnati full time in order to make them my go-to mechanic. Anyone have any recommendations like Evan's for Houston, TX?!? read more

I have just moved to the area and was looking for a reliable mechanic for my 2008 BMW. I brought my car to Evan's with an issue regarding my oil level. I also asked them to look at my brakes (which I could hear a noise) and wheels. They were extremely fair and honest. I was told my brakes aren't ready for service yet, and that I shouldn't spend money on the wheels unless I noticed an issue with drivability (which I don't). As a woman I am generally skeptical of the trustworthiness of auto repair shops, but I trust these guys to give me an honest answer and only tell me what actually needs to be done. read more

Amazing service at Evan's Auto Care on my BMW! Worked my fix in around a tight holiday schedule, provided shuttle to/from work, and best yet they were very up front, honest, and in detail explained what needed done right away and what could wait. Friendly staff even made the visit very conversational. Highly recommended!!! read more

These guys are the best, seriously!! Everyone was so kind and thorough from start to finish. The service was timely and they even offer a shuttle service (with nice drivers) to drive you back to work and then pick you up after to return you to Evans to pick your car up whenever you need. That's amazing service right there. Why would you go anywhere else?? I took my car in for a prepurchase inspection and they had me in the next day, with a full report and explained everything easily. John is great!!! He was so kind and helpful and even text me to check on me the next day and see how my car was doing. Please do yourself a favor and visit this place with any and every car need. I know we will be visiting again when needed! read more

They worked on my older Audi. Very honest. I would recommend. I've been in the auto industry for 10 years.

I have now been going to Evan's for 6 years, with my own cars, and my dads cars. Great service, quality work you can trust, and reasonable prices that are usually much better than your mercedes dealership! Highly recommend to all my friends and family. read more

This place was awesome. Took my vehicle here for a prepurchase inspection. Everyone was very knowledgeable and friendly. John (front desk manager) even followed my visit up with a text thanking me for coming in and asking me how everything went. I will be back here for sure when I need any auto maintenance. read more

I recently took my car to Evan's Auto Care with a long list of maintenance items. They provided me with a loaner car for free. They called me very shortly after I dropped it off to give me the results of their inspection. They were very thorough. They completed the work quickly. The facility is extremely clean and the staff couldn't be nicer. I highly recommend Evan's! read more

Wow... Just transitioned to this mechanic after having to exit my previous mechanic. So far completely impressed with the level of service and attention wanting to help me solve my problem. Staff was very nice and courteous and answered all of our questions. They actually repaired a problem my previous mechanic has been struggling to resolve for several months and my Porsche is running like new already... I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who wants a good, sound, trust worthy mechanic servicing their vehicle. I am now a customer....... read more

The Evans Auto Care team are simply the best of the best when it comes to great service. They were prompt, informative and exceptionally professional every step of the way on my first visit to their location. I will always visit them for my future service needs. Keep up the good work guys. Thanks. read more

I had my car towed to them for a oil pan replacement. After 2 days I called and they never ever diagnosed my car. After a few hours they called back with a way higher estimate than the other place I called, so decided to go with someone else . Just to be hit with a 50 fee for the the late diagnostics; telling me what I told them when I gave them my car. You're just a number here. Go with Tim's instead. read more

Great place! We were on our way to FL when our check engine light came on. Evan's was the closest Volvo certified place we could find online. John was very helpful and friendly when we called. He said to come on by. The mechanics took a look at our board computer shortly after we got there. Thankfully nothing major! I would absolutely recommend this place. Very friendly people! read more

Straight forward no hassle car repair. They email pictures of the issue they find which is very nice. They gave me a loaner car while fixing my 17 year old jeep. That's rare and appreciated. Their labor rate is reasonable given their level of expertise. I've had my jeep fixed twice there and will continue to let Evans do my car repair. I was a BMW tech for over ten years and I know good work when I see it. read more

I recently took my 2011 car in to Evan's Auto Care for a problem with an abnormal battery drain. They were very professional, and even kept the car a couple extra days to diagnose the problem accurately, since this issue can be difficult to pinpoint. No complaints at all from me. They did not overcharge, even though they put in extra time on the vehicle. I will definitely be a return customer. read more

Evan's is great, my experience was amazing. First of all, this is how customer service should be. Evan himself gave me a ride in their shuttle back to work. How easy and stress free that made my life, I can't even begin to explain. This truly is a family business, they are affordable and open and honest. I found my cincy mechanic!!! read more

I called Evan's to see if they could help me fix my car window. The motor of my window was having problems and it was stuck open. They told me to come up so they have a look at it. Evan's quoted me a super fair price to open the door and pull up the window, but were able to fix it without even doing that! They sent me on home and told me not to worry about it at all - no charge!! Super honest and generous people, definitely my go-to auto shop while I'm at school in cincinnati! read more

If you're in need for a good and honest mechanic, look no farther because Evan's Auto Care is the best!! I stopped by on my way home from work because my car was acting up and they were able to tell me the problem, fix it, and send me back on my way. I will definitely be going back to them and will send all my family and friends to them in the future! read more

Today was my first visit to Evan's. Choosing a mechanic stresses me out, but Evan put me completely at ease. He took me to work after I dropped off my car, and he picked me up when my car was ready. I only needed a tire rotation today, but I will be back when it's time for an oil change. read more

I cannot speak to whether this company can fix your car because they were so over-the-top pompous (with a side of sexist) on the phone when I called to ask for a quote on some wheel bearing work that I decided immediately never to give them our business. After asking me to describe the problem, he then asked if the vehicle had been inspected by a certified qualified technician. Well, not for this problem - that's why I'm calling you. He then harangued me that I should not be driving the car because the wheel sounded loose and might fall off. I assured him that the wheel was well-attached as my mechanically-oriented husband had already double checked that and was fairly confident that it really was the wheel bearings, but that in the meantime, the car IS sitting unused until we get the problem addressed. So I again asked for a general ball park estimate. Rather than simply give that to me for the proposed work, he began to quiz me on what I know about fixing cars - answers which of course I could not give. He then scolded again that I should let a qualified certified technician decide what was wrong with my car and then after I had brought it in, then they would give me an estimate. A vehicle which he already told me I should not be driving. Even then he still continued to lecture that customer diagnoses are wrong 75% of the time and would I like to set up an appointment for 8:00 a.m. tomorrow? No - I don't think I will. Now, the fact of the matter is that lay people probably are wrong 75% of the time. Most lay people cannot answer his quiz questions. But insulting people before they even become paying customers is usually wrongheaded 99% of the time. Evans - if you read this, your intake rep just lost you our business. Sincerely A female customer who will be spending a few hundred dollars elsewhere today. read more
