Good overall experience - will go back for any problems my car may experience in the future.
Description of Work: My vehicle had a thumping / grinding sound coming from the front end. I had recently had brakes changed at another company, and was concerned I may have suspension issues. Westerville Auto performed an inspection of the front end and determined I had bad rotors (most likely defective from the manufacturer). They recommended I return to the company that had installed for service.

They have a list of repairs that they recommend I fix, and they help me prioritize them, since I can't pay for it all at once. They will pick you up and drop you off if you need them to. I trust them, and I can't say that about very many businesses these days.
Description of Work: The last time I was in there, they did a tire rotation for me, but I've gone there several times for various things.

We took our 07 Hyundai Sonata to Westerville Automotive because we were warned that our brakes needed attention during a routine tire rotation at Sears Auto. Sears quoted us at roughly $350 per axle for the work. We found Westerville Automotive through Angie's List and had a great experience. We brought our car in around 11:00 am and the work was completed at 5:00 pm for $150 less than Sears quoted us. They were polite and efficient and gave me the Angie's List discount even though I forgot to bring in the coupon. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
Description of Work: Front and rear brake pads and rotors; replaced brake lights.

Another shop had told me I needed to get my lower control arm bushings replaced. I asked Westerville Automotive to take a look and make sure that's what I needed and perform the service. I also asked them to check my front brake pads as I had been having issues with the other shop. He performed both inspections and told me that the bushings were cracked but they were not the worst he had seen and gave me the option on whether to get them fixed or not. Tony was not pushy and was honest and very knowledgable. I will be going back for services in the future for both my car (Civic) and my husband's (S10).

They attempted to fix the problem and made an attempt, but that did not stop the noise. They advised that the noise was not effecting the vehicle's safety in any way and we decided to leave it, but they did not charge us for the initial repair attempt, which was nice.

I don't know how they stand on price with other automotive service providers, but I have been satisfied with the level of service I have gotten. One thing I dislike about them is they just fix what needs to be fixed and they do not help me with anything else. When they fix something, I have a piece of mind that they have fixed it. They get me in and out fairly fast.
Description of Work: I regularly use the service of Westerville Automotive when I need to get my car fixed. They did some brake work and changed my power steering fluid the last time I visited them.

Service was provided same day as the car was towed to the business. The estimate was provided within a couple hours and the repair completed that day. Additional work, over that included in the estimate, was needed and the service writer was able to reduce the added amount to be nearer the original estimate.

My front brakes were badly in need of replacement (pads and rotors). I had been metal on metal for about 2 months, but couldn't afford the replacement. I had an angies list coupon, and I had a rotor that I had purchased previously. WA used the rotor I had purchased, no problems. That plus the coupon reduced my price by about $175. The company performed the work quickly, and with great quality. Scheduling was not a problem, and all associates at WA were professional, helpful, and friendly.

Westerville Automotive's price was as estimated some nine months earlier. The air conditioning seems to be working well--I drove two hours this past weekend in 90-plus degree heat. Westerville Automotive staff was smart, competent and very friendly. I asked one staff member about another potential issue with my car and he vounteered to take a look at it in the parking lot. As I waited for my ride, another staff member came out to offer a cup of coffee, and later still another offered to drive me home. Overall, an excellent experience. I can recommend Westerville Automotove to anyone seeking similar auto repairs.
Description of Work: In late August of last year, I noticed my air conditioning was not working. I had the folks at Westerville Automotive look at it. They ran some dye through the system and determined the problem (cost $148). They offered an estimate to fix the problem that seemed fair, but I declined to have work done at that time because I figured I wouldn't need the air conditioning until the spring. In May 2011, temperatures were already in the 90s, so I had to have the ac fixed. I left the car at Westerville Automotive, and staff replaced the condenser and did some work on some hoses.

After going to a dealer and getting a quote for $3000 worth of work which included a 90,000 tune up, I went to Westerville Automotive. Brakes were replaced, 90k service, and some other work was done. Ken at Westerville Automotive told me that several items recommended by the dealer should be wait and see items which saved me money. The dealer didn't give me this common sense advice. I went into the dealer to get warranty work and came out with a recommendation of $3000 worth of work. I appreciate Westerville Automotive's common sense approach to the work (e.g. if it's broke here are the options) otherwise here is when it should be checked again. Thanks again Ken!
Description of Work: 90k Service, plus breaks, plus a review of three items identified by the dealer that 'should' be addressed.

I found Westerville Auto to be very professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to deal with them.
Description of Work: My car had been spotting oil since another garage had completed an oil change.The other garage screwed up the oil change and told me that engine gaskets need to be replaced. I appreciated how Westerville Auto told me to keep an eye for oli leakage from the engine gaskets before they recommended that I replace the gaskets. I could need the gasket replacements. When I do, I'll take my car back to Westerville Auto.

I feel that they are pretty honest. They will point out things that are going bad, but give the option of when you'd like to fix it. They are not the cheapest,. but they do not cut corners on any repairs. They've replaced the engine on my truck and when the new engine had an oil leak, they fixed that. I've used them five to six times a year for a long time. In that time, maybe one or two repairs were not correct, but they always make the repair right. If you live close, they will give you a pick-up.
Description of Work: They service my vehicles. I have used them for my Chevy truck and a Mazda.
