Many other folks had the same idea, so I knew this place was reputable (in addition to all its great online reviews) They gave me a call by 10:30am letting me know they could fix the whirring with a new belt. Also identified my brakes were at their end of life and offered to replace. Their quote for 4 new brake pads was extremely reasonable. By 1:45 my car was done being serviced and I went back to pick it up. Easy check out. No line. Very nice staff. A complete success. Definitely will use Ashland tire and auto for all future car needs and will recommend to all my friends

Overall, I had a good experience with Ashland Tire & Auto. I brought my car in for exhaust repairs,…read moreand they completed the work the same day. The repair cost seemed fair, though on the higher end of the expected range. One issue came up afterward: when I picked up the car, the tire pressure light was on. I initially assumed it was nothing serious, but by the following evening, one tire was completely flat. To be clear, I understand there's no way to know for sure whether the tire was damaged while the car was at the shop or while I was driving it home or the following day. I genuinely acknowledge that uncertainty. That said, the timing concerned me. I took the car to Just Tires, where I had purchased all four of the tires in 2022. I was told that the flat tire could not be repaired and needed to be replaced. Replacing two tires, which is fairly typical (depending on tread wear and matching) was recommended. The total cost, including tax and installation, was about $575. I discussed the situation with Ken Papas at Ashland Tire, and I appreciate the way he handled it. He didn't dismiss my concern, but he also fairly pointed out that neither of us could pinpoint when the damage occurred. He offered $150 toward the replacement cost, which I accepted. I think that was a reasonable, good-faith gesture, even though covering the cost of one tire would have felt more satisfying. I'm leaving a positive review because the exhaust issue has been resolved (so I assume the original repair was done correctly) and because Ken handled an uncertain situation professionally. I'd consider using Ashland Tire & Auto again.

I had taken my car to this shop twice before with no issues, but after my most recent experience, I…read morestrongly encourage everyone to get a second opinion. Rey quoted me $1,594.36 for a repair that another shop fixed for just $180. That is clear price gouging. On top of that Joe was very aggressive and attempted to blame me and my wife for the issues he had missed. My first visit was in June last year for an oil change, which was done quickly and without problems. The second visit was in February for a heat issue with coolant leaking under the car. The repair was completed within a day or two. However, after I had already paid, Rey mentioned an additional $200-$300 repair needed for the AC to work properly in the summer. I found it odd that he waited until after payment to bring this up. When I asked questions, he became defensive, repeatedly emphasized how busy they were, and told me not to touch the AC button because if I did I would not be able to turn it back to the heat. He suggested bringing the car back in the summer when I needed the AC. In early May, my wife and I brought the car back to fix the AC issue and address the check engine light so we could pass emissions. We dropped it off around 8 a.m., and it was ready by early afternoon. Before paying, I asked to speak with Rey, who now said there was no AC issue and that the heat and cold were both working fine. When I questioned the inconsistency from February, he again cited having 20-30 cars a day and not remembering details unless noted on the intake sheet. I told him that we had sent a clear email with our requests, but I guess that wasn't properly transferred to him. I asked to check the car together. Rey complained multiple times about being too busy but confirmed the AC and heat worked. I then confirmed with Joe twice that the charges covered the AC repair and check engine light fix before paying. After leaving, I noticed the engine light was still on. When I returned, Joe immediately tried to blame my wife for not communicating the emissions request. I showed him our email, and he agreed to waive the inspection fee and fix it. However, Joe was extremely aggressive, swearing at me and demanding a "yes or no" answer even though I had already agreed to leave the car. After a brief cooldown, I addressed his behavior, and he eventually apologized. The next day, Rey called and quoted $1,594.36 to replace three parts (canister, fuel valve, and pressure sensor) for the P0456 code. I asked Rey if he had done the EVAP smoke test, he confirmed and went on to say that all 3 parts were leaking and all had to be replaced. Skeptical after all the previous issues, I took the car elsewhere. The new mechanic fixed it in about one hour for only $180. He said the problem was a very small, easily fixed issue in the canister, and that Rey had likely not performed an EVAP smoke test and was not truthful about all three parts leaking.

I recently brought my 2017 Porsche Cayenne to Autohaus on Lincoln Avenue after first taking it to…read morethe Porsche dealership. The difference in both pricing and customer service was remarkable. The dealership charged me $550 for an oil change, while Autohaus would have performed the same service for approximately $250. I also had my front and rear brakes replaced, along with an alignment, and saved well over $2,000 compared to the dealership's estimate. Gary and his team of highly skilled technicians did an outstanding job. Their expertise, honesty, attention to detail, and fair pricing are exactly what you hope to find when servicing a high-end foreign vehicle. The work was completed professionally, on time, and with excellent communication throughout the process. It is refreshing to find an independent shop that delivers dealership-quality service at a fraction of the cost. I trust Autohaus completely with my Porsche and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional service on European luxury vehicles. Five stars are not enough. Thank you, Gary and the entire Autohaus team, for a truly outstanding experience!

Damage was severe enough that the car had to be towed. Fortunately, no one was injured. Fast forward roughly four weeks and I reclaimed my car today. It was exactly what I expected: impeccably repaired with a paint job--thanks to master painter and WBS owner Danny Avalos, Jr.--that matched the original finish perfectly. While four weeks seemed overly long, my insurance company's adjustor and appraiser were responsible for most of the delay. Throughout the process, shop manager Eric Villa keep me apprised.

For the install, I went to two places closer to where I live. One was temporarily closed, and the other was a place I've been going to for years. I even recommended them to friends in the past. Unfortunately, the bigger that business became, the worse their customer service got. I searched online and found "CARRECTLY". I went to their website and liked what I read and saw. This place is across town from me, but the trip was well worth the find. I called with my inquiries and spoke to Oliver. An appointment was made, and I sent links to D.I.Y. Videos to help streamline the installation process. Oliver was very straightforward. During the 3 days my car was being serviced, he kept me updated on the progress. This seems to be underrated with most businesses, but it's very important to a customer because nobody likes being left in the dark, especially when their car is left in the hands of someone else. Updates help build transparency and reduce the perception of being taken advantage of. Good communication encourages repeat business and referrals. It also leads to positive online reviews like this one. The installation work done on my car was superb. Everything looked like a factory install.

Most recently, I brought my car in for an oil change and tire rotation. After inspecting the tires, they told me they were wearing evenly and didn't need to be rotated--so they didn't charge me for it.
