This is what I am looking for in an automotive service provider. I want to feel like I trust the recommendations for repair. I want to feel like I am getting a fair price. I want to have the service provided in a relatively short period of time. I want quality of repairs. I got all of that from Westerville Automotive. I feel had I taken this car into one of the more commercially recognizable brake repair shops, I would have gotten a higher bill and service that I ultimately didn't need. Westerville Automotive was upfront about what needed to be repaired, but also what DIDN'T. That spoke volumes. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Scheduling was easy. They were prepared for our visit. Called with an estimate before proceeding with repairs. Charges were competitive and service writer honored Angies list coupon as well. Didn't try to load on extras not needed. Did a complimentary check of other key service items. All went well. Will definitely return.

They did not try to upsell me, and actually advised me how easy it was to change some filters myself (saving me money). They were timely for the most part, although they start 30 mins late. But in all I was very satisfied.

We have taken all of our family's cars to Westerville Automotive for several years. They are always prompt, helpful, courteous, knowledgeable, efficient, and very professional. They are very honest and reliable. I recommend them to everyone. They are also conveniently located -- you can drop off your vehicle and then stroll through old Westerville's shops, have lunch, or go to Graeters while you are waiting for the work to be completed. They are an old fashioned car shop where it is the same people you get to know and trust.
Description of Work: Oil change, tire rotation, brake check, in-depth inspection of an older model car.

auto repair, radiator service
  + 0 more
My experience went very well. My vehicle was overheating as the radiator had a hole and two of my fan assemblies were not functioning allowing for a build up of heat. I did price the repairs competitively and Westerville Automotive was very competitive. Most importantly, they seemed to be the most knowledgeable and kept me abreast of the situation through regular communication. As my vehicle has a substantial amount of mileage and age, there are always small things that could be done on a preventative basis. Westerville Automotive was very helpful in advising what to do as opposed to spending monies unnecessarily.
Description of Work: Replaced thermostat, water pump, radiator and components involving the air conditioning system.

I have been there several times.She got a quote from somebody that was real high. I took it down to Westerville and they fixed it for $100 less. I trust their judgement and I think they are honest. I think sometimes women get taken advantage of in automotive services. I also go there for oil changes and I needed a battery too, which they called to my attention. I was pretty sure that I was going to be needing a battery soon. I was glad that they checked that because I didn't want to get caught somewhere. They even let me sit there and wait for it. They try to get it done quickly. If I wanted to they would bring me all the way back home, but it's quite a distance so I just sit.
Description of Work: I took my daughters car there because she needed a new wheel rim because her tire kept losing air.

They drove the truck daily and the problem only replicated itself once, recommended I keep an eye on it. Likely a fuel pump going bad, but it's not bad yet. Did not try to force me into $1000 repair.

This was less than the $135 that the dealer usually charges, and they used synthetic oil. Very pleased with the quality of their work. I've also taken my 1999 Miata there to diagnose a difficult issue, and they were very patient, professional and listened to me and took me seriously after the Mazda dealer basically blew me off.

Spoke with the owner, he was friendly and informative. Explained what would need to be done and how expensive to fix. Since this is an older vehicle ask what would happen if did not repair and was open to discussing options. Will do business in the future with him.

I was given an estimate of $1200 for the computer part at another shop, which did not include labor or other charges. Westerville Automotive replaced the part and the entire total, labor and all, came to roughly $625.00. They did the work quickly and efficiently and my car has been running great ever since. I would HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone looking for professional service without the extreme prices other places cost.

(Review for the Uptown location.) Westerville Automotive does a fantastic job. They are always professional and go out of their way to provide clear and detailed breakdowns of what work is needed and what can be delayed. Prices are always reasonable, and much cheaper for regular maintenance than my dealership. We have two foreign cars - Japanese and German, and have had work done on both and have always been pleased with the results. I highly recommend this company!

Service went two days beyond the promise date. No loaner car provided so their lateness caused me grief in finding my own loaner car for those extra days. Had to return in the Spring so they could add more freon (?) Gas since the car AC was not properly cooling the interior cabin.

Response from Westerville Automotive
[member name removed], You brought your car to our Uptown location in January of 2013. You asked us to find the source of an engine noise at Idle and for an oil change etc. We replaced the A/C compressor at that time because it was the source of the noise. We informed you then that the A/C system was low prior to the repair and recommended a dye kit be added to help find the leak at a later date. You agreed to the repairs at a cost of $758 plus tax and had us perform other maintenance items for a total bill of $985. Now you came back to us in May of 2013 and stated the A/C system was not cold on hot days and you had a humming noise after 10 minutes of driving. We inspected the A/C system with a dye light at that time and could find no leak. We also recharged the system for you at no charge to make you comfortable and asked you to return if there was any further issues. We noted that the humming noise was from a bad catalytic converter and it would need replacing. Now since we have not seen you or your car in over 1 year and 5 months I was surprised to see this post. We are easy to get along with and strive for happy customers so any issue you had would have been resolved easily. As for needing 3 days to repair the car I could not tell you about. Too much time has passed for a good answer although we do keep in contact with our customers to inform them about a vehicles status or time needed to order parts. We do not try to inconvenience our customers. Thank you again for your post. It helps us provide better service.

One time I had to take it back when the tail pipe was still knocking, after they had fixed it. They did the re-repair at no cost. In general their prices seemed reasonable.

I used Westerville Auto because of Angies List. I made an appointment to have it looked at - I suspected it was the front end suspension. To my surprise I showed up at the wrong location! They have 2 locations not too far apart. Despite my mistake, they managed to fit me in to their schedule as well as drive me back to work in New Albany. They were incredibly accommodating and finished the entire job by the next day. Total cost was right around $1100, which was about the going rate for that kind of job.
