When I moved to NE Ohio 25 year's ago, there were two things I did immediately to give me peace of…read moremind; find a good doctor and good car mechanic. Not only did I find both, but great ones at that!
One day I went to have a standard oil change at one of the many lube stops that frequent the landscape, and later learned they had over torqued the steel oil pan screw and stripped the aluminum pan's threads. Needless to say I had big problem.
I went back and the shop denied the damage and so found myself at a Honda dealership that promptly told me it would cost $1200 to replace! I was in a panic as I had nowhere that kind of money, and had to have my car to get to work. I asked around and my VP told me about Plevris.
When I showed up, Mike, the owner personally greeted me and showed me the issue. He then said he could replace it, but since I was on a budget, he could fabricate a brass shim and see how long it would last.
That small piece of metal lasted 2 years, and when I finally had to replace the oil pan, Mike found a used one and had it installed for $200! Not only did this simple fix save me from an enormous up front bill, it gained a customer for life!
Over the years, Mike and his talented team have repaired my family's numerous vehicles, and not once did I feel cheated or mistreated. I have been driven to work after dropping my car off, picked up, and even allowed to borrow cars, all to accommodate me. I cannot speak for his other customers, but it would not surprise me if they received the same courtesy. Mike is a very rare find.
In fact, this honest and ethical man honors his customers once a year with a Greek BBQ (full lamb on a spit) as a way of saying "Thank You" for your business! Good luck finding parking on that day!
I cannot overstate how lucky I was to find Mike and his crew. He is good people.
