I like to do my own repairs as much as possible, but there are certain things that the YouTube…read moreschool of auto mechanics just hasn't helped me with, (especially since I don't have I garage full of cool tools, and a car lift). John is a fast, friendly and honest mechanic. He changed my '05 Ram 1500's brake rotors (and, obviously, pads), and a leaking power steering fluid cooler. Even better, he did so in about 3 hours on a Saturday. On top of that that, he did the job for about half of what the Dodge dealer was asking (my wife) for. Also, he didn't try to rip me off with an up-sell, even though the opportunity was there...he correctly identified a few other issues (that actually were known issues). He mentioned these issues, but didn't try to pressure me to have them addressed at this time. The next time I have any mechanical issue, with any of my rides, like Arnold says, "I'll be back..." to Smitty's.

I can't recommend Ambrosia's Automotive enough.

After an alignment check, a dealership told us we needed a new axle. We took it to Ambrosia's and they were able to pinpoint the exact issue, costing us much less than originally quoted by the dealership. The repair was done quickly and efficiently. We have trusted Ryan and the team to work on our vehicles prior to this, and we have always walked away feeling confident in the work that was completed and not feeling taken advantage of like so many other places.

The shop is cozy and has a nice waiting area with some cool fish! They really go above and beyond to explain what the problems are and help you decide the best course of action.

They examined spark plugs and replaced them. Still had a problem with oxygen sensor and they replaced that also! Besides fixing the mechanical issues Rich kept me informed at each step of the repair, I knew up front the cost of each item. No surprises, only place I would go for auto repair. Great place I highly recommend Steve's Family Auto. Five Stars for honest, reliable service!

I was in from Michigan to run a music festival at the University of Toledo when my van began to overheat.

It was Sunday afternoon so I figured no place would be open but a quick Yelp search turned up Car Medic! It was 5:30pm and their listed hours say they close at 6 but I took the chance and went anyway. They stayed late to take a look at my transmission, said they didn't see a crack or leak, but it was low on fluid so they topped it off and sent me on my way. They were really nice and honest -- they could have told me anything and I would have believed them. They charged me 1/2 hour labor and that was it. The lobby area was messy and dirty but other than that I was very impressed.

Spent the night in a local hotel and called Toledo Auto Care the next morning to set up an appointment the next day. Turned out it was just some dirty oil that needed changing. The mechanic showed me the brakes and let me know that they were going to need changing sometime in the near future, but it wasn't anywhere close to the in-your-face sales pitch that some auto shops give you. I left Toledo Auto Care with a healthy care and a healthier state of mind. They treat their customers right here, and if I'm in the area again this will be my number one choice for any car repairs.

"Brake-ing News: Piasecki is the Real Deal!"…read more Just had our 4-Runner in for what sounded like a squeaky front-row performance, and Kevin diagnosed it like a true auto whisperer. Turns out it was the brakes and rotors crying for help. They didn't just stop there (pun intended), Kevin walked us through everything in detail, with the kind of transparency most places lack. Price? Super fair. Turnaround? Fast enough to make pit crews jealous, we could have picked it up in a few hours, but left it overnight as we were too busy that evening. Extra points for honesty: Kevin even told us the rear brakes didn't need replacing yet. Talk about not trying to pad the bill (brake pad joke--couldn't resist). If you need someone who actually gives a rotor about your car, go see Kevin at Piasecki. Your car will thank you, and so will your wallet.
