Easy to work with and do a great job maintaining my car. Shop local! Don't take it to a dealership.

After getting a repair estimate from my Subaru dealership of almost $5000 to fix a leak and steering column issue, I told my husband we needed a 2nd opinion. I had seen great reviews about Academic Automotive so we took the car to them. They found no issues anywhere near what Subaru told us. I echo the other reviews: honest, fair, knowledgeable and quick. I am a customer for life! read more

I brought in my Honda Odyssey after my check engine light started flashing and would highly recommend Academic Automotive for your car repair. They were very friendly, honest, and took the time to explain what was wrong without talking down to me. In addition they were very patient answering all my questions. Connor was our mechanic and his customer service was much appreciated! When we came to pick up the van, he took us out to the vehicle and went through the repair with us and also pointed out repairs/maintenance to consider in the near future without using any pressure. Very happy with our experience. read more

Experienced, honest, and fair. Excellent quality diagnostics and service. These people can be trusted

Dave, Tracey and team go over and above to make sure everything is right. Our go to guy for many years! This a long overdue recommendation.

I've taken our cars there for a few years. Always good communication and I've always felt they are being fair with me. My cars have always been fixed. No comebacks. read more

Fast, efficient, friendly service. I have an older truck that was due for maintenance and since we're new to the area I went to Academic Auto. For once my bill was well within reason and the work done was all for items that had been neglected and very much needed. We'd like to keep our paid off old truck as long as we can. I especially appreciate that the mechanic actually took my truck for a test drive and called explaining the needed maintenance and was very thorough. They service beats the other "chain" service centers that we had been to.y read more

Had a cooling issue with our car before a long drive home to Tennessee. Family recommended Academic check it out. They looked at the issue and determined we were safe to drive and get it repaired once we got home which saved us a lot of hassle. Team was knowledgeable and professional, would definitely use them if we lived closer. read more

I trust academic automotive to do all the repairs and checks on my cars. They have amazing prices and extremely honest mechanics. All the staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable and they do not try to up-sell you on anything. They don't replace things unnecessarily like a lot of shops do. By far the best auto shop I have ever experienced! read more

(This company is in Liberty Township, OH, however, the zip code causes automated systems to say, "Middletown") Dave is one of the best (if not the best) mechanics I have ever used. I am in my late 60's, so I have used many mechanics, and I know when their diagnostics make sense. I will not go into a lot of detail, but, the problem diagnoses precluded me having several types of catastrophic failures on distant travel. Dave keeps at it until he finds the problem. He is NOT a superficial mechanic. Aside from that, Dave doesn't wait for a question, he takes you step-by-step into the nature of the more complex problems, answers your questions, and always appreciates the need for excellent communications. The courteous nature of Dave, his co-workers, and his wife, Tracy (she's awesome), make the process a pleasant one. I go away wanting his shop to continue succeeding in car and customer care. The same amount of work at other auto-shops will cost you as much or more, and you won't go away with the confidence of knowing... "It doesn't get better than this!" read more

We have been bringing our automobiles here for a decade or so. Its time I left a review. Always on time and on quote! They are very conscience of spending your money and will always call. They will give you great service and great value. read more

Another great experience at academic automotive. They are friendly, knowledgeable and always give a fair price. After so many bad experiences I am thrilled to find this place! Highly recommend! read more

Don't hesitate to stop by Academic Automotive for all of your car needs! They're so friendly and honest, they only sell you what's best for your car! They can help you understand any problems and give you the best options. They've helped me with my automotive conundrums for years and I'll never go anywhere else! Everyone is friendly in this family owned business. Tracey is the nicest person you'll ever meet and Dave is a wealth of knowledge! read more

These guys are great! Honest! Fair! Quick! And they educate you. Can't say enough great things about Tyler! If you want a reliable mechanic check these guys out! read more

Usually people only post reviews when they have something negative to say. I want to make sure others know the great things about Academic Automotive. Prior to moving to Ohio we had a repair shop we used in Florissant, MO that I loved. I never thought I would find the same type of owner of an automotive repair facility. After moving here seven years ago I went to several repair shops in the West Chester/Liberty Township area, and always felt like I was getting screwed. About five years ago someone mentioned Academic Automotive, so I gave them a shot. Now I don't go anywhere else until Dave tells me one of three things: 1. "Here's the problem and the cost." 2. "Here's the problem, and I'm not as cost competitive as XYZ Repair. (which is rare)" 3. "Here's the problem, and the dealer has special tools/diagnostics that I don't have, so you're better off going there." I love the honesty. Dave approaches each repair like the car is his, and the money is coming out of his pocket. read more
