I took my granddaughters car to Mr Godwrench because her air conditioner was leaking the Freon out. He found the leak and replaced the condenser in the same day. We were so grateful. read more

I took my Kia to Mr Godwrench after seeing positive reviews online. Trusting mechanics are hard to find but I put my faith in reviews of others. While some service issues were found, they were honest enough to tell me not to have the repairs as the overall condition of the car would not produce longevity. I really appreciate the owner telling me to not give their own company 1200 dollars in repairs because the car may potentially not last much longer. I would not hesitate to bring any of my cars here in the future. read more

Rude,Harsh and Condescending!! I am sharing my experience from earlier, so people are aware of the poor experience. The same review was provided another review forum. Got my 2008 Corolla for service and told Kory(one of mechanics) the issue with car which was related to wobbling, maintenance required light being on and asked for general maintenance, fluid top off and told him *UPFRONT* to provide me the estimates before making performing anything. Kory did not even provide a ball park quote or anything, he calls me within an hour later and quotes me around 1500$(for brakes,tires and oxygen sensor) and when I asked to do only general service and fluid top off, he proceeds say that they have to charge $250 for "diagnosis fee" and he also said they would take off the fee if I replaced all the parts and he also said that they charge the 250$ diagnosis, so I don't take my business elsewhere or do repairs on my own by looking at "youtube ". And, he started to falsely say that I got car brakes done else where fairly recently and that the previous person did a bad job and the brakes rotor, calliper etc needs to be changed. The last time I ever serviced the car was Oct 2022 and had dropped off at Godwrench's shop, I was charged for 55$ for brake clean/adjust and was told everything was good. This *$250 diagnosis fee* was totally unexpected and was a STICKER SHOCK to me. I tried to stay calm and tried to speak to him . He started to speak in a rude, condescending way, quoting a scenario if I walk into McDonalds or Walmart and tried to buy something will that be a sticker shock to me and What would I do? First of all, all these business have a menu card, rate sheet and don't offer service without getting the customer consent. Secondly, no one charges a 250$ diagnosis fee for 15 year old Toyota to check the brakes and check why the maintenance light was ON. And stating that 250 diagnosis will be removed if I paid ~$700 to get the brakes replaced,600$ for wheels and 300$ for oxygen converter does not seem right, if not shady. He later agreed to reduced the Diagnostics fee and charged me ~$50 after a lot of back and forth. He also rudely responded that he would have to charge me for speaking to him over the phone as it is consuming his time, This was the last straw for me. I went, made payment and collected my vehicle. NEVER WILL I STEP FOOT INTO THIS PLACE. They are UN-ETHICAL,RUDE AND NOT TRANSPARENT. I am starting to question all the positive reviews or was this poor attitude targeted only towards me read more

The AC on my Chevy Trax was not working and it was just a few days before the 4th of July holiday. Tim got it in and found that wild critters had tried making a nest in the cabin air filter!! He put new air filter in and charged with Freon. My roommate that normally drives the car didn't think it was cooling any better so we got it back in and determined he wasn't pressing both buttons to get the airflow on. In any case it is hot now and the AC is working great!! read more

Always a pleasure dealing with them. Godwrench is my go to place when it's over my head. I do what I can and Tim and his crew do the rest. It's nice having someone I send my mom to that I know won't take advantage of her. She had another shop tell her she needed work done. He looked at it and said I can do the work if you want but it's not needed. Who does that? Only an honest business. read more

These guys are straight to the point, no nonsense or run around. They'll only do the work they need to do and nothing more, and they do it at a fair price. Definitely worth stopping in if you're having issues, or if you just want a second opinion on something a chain or dealership told you, because we all know those chains and dealerships just want to upsell. read more

Fair price. Seems quite honest and no complaints on the work performed. Only thing is I wish you could bring your own parts as all these shops seem to charge 15-20% more for the same parts you can get. read more

These gentlemen (Corey and another young man) were so helpful, honest and above all kind! They made sure I didn't purchase a car that was in bad repair! I will be back!!' read more

As far as the repair goes never had an issue. Both my old 98 truck and the window motor installed in my car, no complaints. however, on the window motor i was quoted one price yet charged a different price. Not real fond of the dad. The younger person assuming the don i have a better dealings with. To be honest the extra half hour labor the dad charged really pissed me off. read more

They are the best period. Everything you would want in a car repair shop. Honest and trustworthy and also at a fair price

I own a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser that had extreme underbody rust issues. I'm not going to lie, it's an expensive repair no matter what. My troubles started when my stabilizer bar rusted off on the driver side ... so, I took my car to my local mechanic. Initially, they said it would be about $4k, which, to be honest, I was surprised how low it was, but they called back about 2 hours later and asked me if I could come down to the shop. After showing me the underneath of the car, their new estimate was now $12k and that would NOT be for any repair to frame rust. I love this car, but $12k and not have the rust fixed, well, I was ready to throw in the towel on the car. But then I reached out to Tim at Mr. Godwrench, who I used to go to years ago before I moved away from the area. Tim told me they just repaired someone's car with similar rust damage and to tow my truck to them and he said his estimate would include fixing the rust on the frame if they could. Tim called me a few days later and said it's a lot or rust, but they could fix it. The total cost after getting into it was $9k, BUT ... and this is the big difference ... Tim and his crew fixed all the rust on the frame as well as pretty much replacing all the underbody parts, pretty much making that part of my 2008 FJ better than any currently on the road. They were able to fabricate parts as needed which makes them a completely unique shop. I had been calling around for years to find someone to fix the rust and could find no one. When I went to pick it up, Tim and his crew showed me everything while still on the lift and I was so happy with the job they did. My FJ only has 95k miles and now I can drive it for many more years to come. Even though I don't live in that part of town anymore, I will never take my cars to anyone else. Just a side note. Before I moved away, I always took my cars to Tim and I can tell you with complete honesty, you will never find a better shop, a more fair place to get your car repaired and better quality work. Don't let the cost of my repair give you sticker shock. The repairs to my FJ were extreme and I knew they were going to be significant before having my car towed. But Tim has performed normal repairs on many of my cars over the years and I never found a shop with better people or a more fair approach and they stand behind their work. P.S. I don't live in San Francisco, for some reason it posted me as being from there because of my VPN. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Tim is truly a man that operates with integrity. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable. After having some issues with my starter that several other shops could not figure out despite having it in multiple times, Mr. Godwrench fixed it on the first try. In addition, they were extremely helpful and very fair when handling other repairs. In a field that can often garner negative stereotypes for up-charging, you can rest assured that this is a place that operates with honesty and treating you like you are family. I won't take my car anywhere else. Easiest 5 star review that I'll ever give. P.s. Craig is fantastic and has a great sense of humor. read more

Mr Godwrench has been my go-to mechanic for over 7 years. I live over two hours away now and still will make the journey for something as small as an oil change because you can't beat the good work, customer service, and prices they offer. Kory made sure I my appointment was a breeze and even saved me money! It's hard to find a good and honest mechanic but look no further because Mr Godwrench automotive service is the answer! read more

Most honest mechanic you'll find. I've been going to Tim & his shop for almost 10 years. Incredibly fair, reliable, and generous in giving back to the community. If you need a mechanic: go here! read more

Definitely, the best shop around us. We had an issue with our daughters Jeep while she was away at bootcamp. They got it in, diagnosed the problem and explained it so I could understand what was needed. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and respectful. The price we paid, especially for what I would consider an emergency repair, was fair. They also told me about things the Jeep will need. Many shops would have tried to to get me to buy these things during that visit. They even help me prioritize each item! I felt comfortable and at home with the whole team! I'm so happy we found this shop! They will always be my go to! Service like this is so hard to find! read more

HONESTY! TRUSTWORTHY! DEPENDABLE! TRUTHFUL! Everything you want and need in a mechanic especially these days! We bring all of our cars here and trust Tim, Corry and the crew to always be straight forward and upfront with us. It's hard to find someone you trust especially with the cost of car repairs these days. We brought our 2005 Lexus in because it just died on the road. Tim and Corry had it for 2 days ran it through diagnostic testing and gave it the once over and found nothing really wrong with it except a possible malfunctioning key fob which we are replacing. The kicker is they didn't charge us anything not even for their time! And this is not the first time they have done this. Many other mechanics would have said that they needed to replace something or charged me diagnostic time but not Tim! These guys are the best. I trust them with our cars and my kids cars and you should trust them with yours! read more

Mr. Godwrench was awesome! They gave my son and I fantastic deal. He was extremely honest and willing to work with us. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the local area a good and honest mechanic. read more

Tim Ellison and everyone at Mr Godwrench have always been very helpful to me and my family! They have always taken great care of our vehicles, and recently we actually had them put a new engine in one of our vehicles that we thought was done for. They got the engine for us, installed it and made sure everything was great and ready to go! Couldn't be happier with their service. It's nice to have a car repair shop that you can trust, and run by honest people. Can't say enough great things about them! read more

Got me in day of, I arrived 20 minutes early and they took me back right away, timely service, and the friendliest staff ever. Not to mention their waiting room is stocked with snacks and beverages in a cute space to make the wait fly by. Thanks for the awesome service! read more

Mr. Godwrench After talking with some neighbors that highly recommended Mr. Godwrench, I scheduled an appointment for regular maintenance on my car. I also looked on the internet for reviews (as I always do for just about anything these days) and was amazed at how many 5-Star ratings this shop received. Once I "arrived" according to my GPS system, I found it initially difficult to find where the shop was actually located. I quickly figured out the shop entrance is on the left side of the building (a different business has their entrance at the front of the building). I parked my car and strolled into the shop and was immediately welcomed by the owner, Tim Ellison. A very friendly guy that was able to get my car in the shop a few minutes earlier than scheduled. I liked the waiting room, which has free beverages, coffee, and some packaged snacks. They also have a free internet connection, a flat screen Roku tv, and magazines/books to read while you wait. I also liked how the waiting room has a big window where you can see your car while it's being worked on. By the time I got myself a coffee and surfing the web, they were already finished with my car - Very fast service. Throughout the interaction with the owner, Tim, and the friendly mechanics, I felt that this is a business that takes care of their customers by treating them with respect and not over-charging or trying to sell customers services and/or parts that are unnecessary. Overall, I highly recommend this neighborhood auto repair shop if you're looking for quality service at an affordable price. read more

Based on a co-workers recommendation, we reached out to this company. We had a really maddening issue with our car that they went and above and beyond to solve for us. Professional, honest service and fair pricing you definitely wouldn't find at a dealership- I highly recommend Mr. Godwrench! We will be using them for any future needs. read more

I cannot sing high enough praises about the treatment of my car and the high level of customer service received by the good people of this fine place of business. Their prices are fair and they were honest in diagnosing my vehicle's issues. As I am new to this area I'm relieved to have found a new trustworthy auto repair shop. I will be a customer here for years to come. Thank you!!! read more

Mr Godwrench has fixed my car on multiple occasions. The first time I was just moving into town and didn't know anyone so I search for a mechanic and I am so glad I found him. If anything goes wrong with your repair he will do whats right. There are just to many nice things for me to say about him. He is always honest and extremely helpful. His prices are realistic and he explains things on a level everyone can understand. I will always use him for all my auto repair needs! read more

I've brought 2 of our cars to Mr. Godwrench over the last couple of years. I'm so impressed by the customer service that I've received each time. Highly recommend! read more

The staff is always very helpful! You don't have to worry about being over charged or tricked into fixing something that isn't broken. They won't take advantage of you! I definitely recommend them! read more

Mr God Wrench has been my primary vehicle service provider for over two years. They service my 2008 BMW and 2005 Dodge Caravan as well as other family member's cars - (Hondas). They take the time to listen to your concerns and respond with the best , cost effective solutions. I trust Tim and his crew to give me the best "Value Added" service you can find in the Cincinnati area. read more

I wish all automotive shops were like this. Tim and crew run a truly honest and reputable outfit. Their reputation speaks for itself. I've been to the shop multiple times now and everything they do is top notch. They always fit me in at the time of my appointment. There is never any long waits or delays once I arrive. The workmanship is great. Their pricing is even better. Check them out and you will be extremely satisfied. Not only are they a great place to have automotive service done to your vehicle, but the ways they give back to the community are also something to appreciate this day in age. read more

Our experience at Mr. Godwrench was THE BEST experience we have ever had with an auto shop. We were in town to buy a used car and utilized them for prepurchase inspections on a few cars. Not only was the inspection meticulous, they also thoroughly explained what the cars were worth, the condition they were in and helped us make a good decision. One car was over priced and the dealer neglected to fix a few items which would have cost us 1000 dollars to fix had we bought it. The service and integrity of this company is enough that I would actually consider driving down from Columbus if I'm faced with a serious repair in the future. read more

I own five vehicles. Four of them are no longer under warranty, and three of them are driven by teenagers. As would be expected, it is not uncommon for me to have mechanical issues with the vehicles. As such, it has been extremely important for me to find a mechanic I can trust, who charges fair prices, who can perform high quality work, and who can provide quick and accurate first-time diagnosis. I found this with Mr. Godwrench Automotive. I was initially referred to Mr. Godwrench by a family member and then a trusted friend. I have been taking my vehicles there for 4-5 years. On numerous occasions, I have received calls from Mr,. Godwrench with recommendations or diagnosis that involved no charges or recommendations and instructions for DYI repairs. Seriously.....what mechanic nowadays has that kind of honesty? Prior to using Mr. Godwrench I always felt I couldn't trust mechanics because they would upsell you or tell you something significant was wrong with your vehicle when that was not truly the case. Additionally, I have not had to bring my cars back for repairs that weren't performed correctly. I cannot say this for Firestone, Midas, and others. If you are looking for a highly ethical, competent, and fair priced mechanic....Mr. Godwrench is your answer. read more

THIS IS THE RATING YOU MUST READ My situation was about as bad as you can get; drive a car in with a small problem (so I thought) and end up with two cars with blown engines. Complete replacement of two engines at the same time...what, no way you tell yourself. This is my story and it is almost unbelievable. Please take a minute or two to read this as it gives a glimpse of the kind of person Tim is and everyone at Mr. Godwrench for that matter. My wife and I brought our new (used) 2000 Jeep Wrangler to Tim as a first time customer truly based right on the Rating you are reading now. We knew it had problems and an apparent oil leak, but didn't know how bad. Since we just bought it we really didn't have the resources to fix it perfect, but wanted the oil leak repaired. Tim understood and with caution to me said he could fix the oil leak and he did. What happened next is my story and it had me on the floor for a while to say the least. Tim called me to let me know the oil leak was fixed, but wanted me to drive up and listen to the engine before taking it home. He knew he had a bad diagnosis to give me, but also knew I would want to see/hear it myself. So I jumped into my wife's pampered 2007 Ford Explorer (64K mile SUV) and drove to the shop. Unfortunately about ¾ of a mile from the shop the Explorer made a POP/BANG and then sounded like I had marbles in the engine. I knew this was not at all good, but with eyes wide open and in disbelief I limped into his parking lot. I walked in to get him to help me with the Explorer, but he was eager to get me over to talk about my options with the Jeep. After stuttering out that my wife's car had just had something go really bad he stopped and said "let go take a look". Assuring me on the way that it was probably not too bad, the car is well maintained and it's probably this or that. We lifted the hood and he had me jump into the car and start it up. He couldn't jump around the hood any faster to tell me to TURN IT OFF. He now sat in disbelief alongside me and his crew. He had his crew lift the valve cover on the Ford to confirm, we all looked at a gaping hole in my engine and a valve completely missing. Tim knew that the Ford had a catastrophic internal failure and he had to be the one to explain that not only is this happening, but on two engines. That the Jeep, now with the oil leak fixed and oil pressure, also had no way of making it out of his garage. No one had heard of this from anyone, anytime; two cars and two engines DEAD at the same time and in the same garage. I literally didn't have a ride home. This is where I realized Tim was more than a mechanic, business owner or just a person of Faith; he was an instant friend and compassionate person. This is where he became my Dr. Godwrench and not just a garage named Mr. Godwrench. I was in no frame of mind to understand that my family just lost our main transportation for weeks, that expenses were going to be out of my ballpark and that I truly had no option. Thank God Tim did and before he could even talk to me about the mechanics of things he helped me first just land back on my feet. He offered me the shop truck to use as transportation and he began put together a plan that would give us options to move forward. Now you have to understand I am not a regular customer that has given Tim long term business, I am a first time customer that he doesn't know from anyone different. The options he helped me put together included fixing, selling, used parts, new parts, trying to get Ford to help...etc. They were ALL expensive and we just didn't have that kind of money. I am also not one to just hand over the checkbook so I was calling all over to see what other options I had. Yes, at other garages, the Ford Dealership, etc. No one was close to what Tim offered to help me and my family. Not the cost, not the service and definitely not the compassion. We now have both cars back driven 1K's of miles and they are running perfect. He has called and emailed me to make sure that we are breaking the engines in properly and to make sure we are happy. I cannot give Tim and his Garage a 5=star rating or a 10-out-of-10 because it doesn't do anyone justice to what he and his crew were able to help us get through. What I can give you is my story and my phone number. If you don't believe anything I am telling you, call me. Tim, Amy and I would like to thank you and bless you and your Team at Mr. (Dr.) Godwrench. You have made such a bad situation almost acceptable. We will be back for years to come and I will continue to tell people about my unbelievable story. Sincerely, Rusty Devine read more

Just had another unbelievably positive experience with this business. I wish I had found them years ago. I would have saved so much money on first class car service that I might not be driving a vehicle with 140,000 miles. read more

Hit a curb and bent my suspension in some areas on my civic. Brought it in, they gave me a quick estimate, told me a time frame, and i was on my way with a free rental car. Smooth and accurate transaction, no issues with the replacement parts. They are fairly priced and finished it in half the time they estimated. Great job and would definitely recommend. read more

If I could give my experience at Mr. Godwrench more than 5 out of 5 stars, I would. Everyone there was incredibly helpful when I took a car in for a used car inspection. Even prior to coming in to Mr. Godwrench, I knew I was in good hands. Craig gave me advice over the phone of things to look for on the car before even considering driving it off the lot to bring it in for an inspection. Mr. Ellison and his team did a thorough job and pointed out several things on the car that the dealership neglected to share with me. I appreciated how Mr. Ellison walked me through various portions of the inspection; you can tell he cares about educating his customers and not just getting them in and out. He even bolstered my confidence and gave me some advice about how to negotiate with the dealership. I feel truly blessed to have found out about Mr. Godwrench, and would recommend anyone in need of a mechanic to go there. read more
