Dropped the car off told them the problems and mentioned, when braking, the car pulled a little to the left. Later they called with a diagnostic fee which seemed a little high but wanted it fixed. Someone called back the next day told me they had changed the oil and recharged the air conditioning and found leaks at both Schrader valves which they replaced (part of the diagnostic fee I imagine) and I needed $2000 worth of brake work, (front pads and rotors, rear shoes and drums, front calipers, BG brake system service). My response was, "that is a third of what the car was worth, put it back together and the car will be picked up. A total of $2875.81 of work and parts were declined by me. " Just to be on the safe side, two weeks later the same vehicle was taken to another auto repair shop to have the brakes checked, their receipt says "Inspect brakes, approximately 50% -OK". The brakes are working fine. There is probably a large gap as to what is needed for vehicle repairs and what the manufacturers suggests and how much money you have.

I have taken my cars to Fred for over 20 years. I drove my 2006 Elantra to 304,000 miles, mainly because Fred maintained it for most of its life. My 2023 Elantra has 50k on it and was recently serviced by Fred. I had a fuel induction/injector cleaning service (I think that is what it is called lol) and the car is running as good as the day it was brand new. I highly recommend Fred and his crew. They are amazing and their prices are fantastic.

All Makes and Models is truly a rare experience for an Auto Maintenance Shop, and after my first…read moreexperience, they have won my business hands down. We were recommended by a friend, I decided to give them a try, and found that they exceeded expectations all around What I discovered about them is that they don't charge you to look at your car and give you an initial evaluation like most auto shops which could be $100-200 just to even look at your car. The recommendations that came back from my repair was on the high end in the worst case scenario, and that was absolutely on par with the dealership's service departments. However, they recommended the repair plan to start with the simple repairs and if that doesn't work go on to the further so overall my bill was much less than going to a branded Repair Shop. The repair ended up working right off the bat, at a much lower cost, and they treated me like I was a person. They spoke to me like I was a normal human being who didn't really know much about car maintenance and I greatly appreciate them talking to me at my level. Looking at the cars that were in there repair lot, it ranged anything from really old classical cars to really high end sports cars, and then every normal car in between. They clearly have a skill set that is suitable for All Makes and Models (dad pun). I can't recommend them enough, they're practical, down to earth, and they work with you to meet you at your level. If you ever need a repair the only thing they really don't do is body work I would absolutely check this place out.

Som bichin tire cracked off the arm ON THE WAY HOME!!! almost crashed. People pulled over to check on me. It was Trump/ Bidens 3rd debate that night. cold as f. dark . I waited 3 hours for a tow.

I went in for an oil change on my 2012 TOYOTA…read moreCamry Hybrid, mileage159000, only because there was a coupon offered on FB that I would get $50 off. (Well, that ended up being only $25 off per two separate visits at specific time periods. ) Anyway, while I was there, the owner, Steve brought out pictures of the underneath of my car. (Also texted these to me.) Stated that I needed a whole new radiator and hoses. That I had a leak in a seam of my radiator. Showed me that pic of it. I told him that I had NO leaks noted on my garage floor, which I understood as how you would know if you had a radiator leak. Especially one being as bad as needed attention that day. He told me that the cost was $1300!!!!! I NEVER do more than an oil change unless I check things out further and get 2nd and 3rd opinions. This day I was not thinking correctly. So, I agreed for him to do the radiator. A loaner car was given and charged to me for $20/day. I should never have left my car. He also added that my car needed attention to a few other things - Struts and control arm bushings were worn, stabilizer links (worn and broken), tie rod needed replaced. Since the struts/stabilizers were found as RED and needing immediate attention. I came back the next day to pick up my car. I drove it straight down the road to my other auto repair place (which I should have done the day before). They disagreed that the radiator even needed done after I showed them the pictures, let alone the huge cost. I then made an appt for the next day to have them check out the other repairs that Shaw Auto pointed out = estimate was $1617.18 which included shocks, struts, sway bar, need for reset steering angle ($20) and 4 wheel alignment ($140). After I left there, My Engine light went on my dash, also my Hybrid engine caution lights. I was furious. My car horn was very weak also (As I had to honk at someone who pulled out in front of me.) I drove straight back to Shaw Auto and told him my dilemma. He gave me back the keys to the car loaner and put my car up on the rack. I left, but was very nervous about letting him even "fix' the 'problem'. So, I drove back in about 40 minutes. My car was still up on the rack. He asked me why I was back. I told him I wanted my car back. He told me it was being 'fixed'. I asked, for what. He said that there were bubbles in the coolant of my (new) radiator repair. What?! I looked it online. The repair was not done correctly or not detailed enough. Bubbles in the coolant is detrimental to a hybrid car. So, I waited another hour for my car. I did get to take it home after they test drove it after their 'fix'. I went back to my usual auto repair place the next day, and they told me I needed NONE of the repairs listed that Shaw Auto had taken pictures of and told me that needed repaired. My car was in excellent condition for its age and would last a very long time. So, do NOT go to Shaw Auto in Cuyahoga Falls. Huge rip off. Please, get a 2nd opinion on any big repairs.

I bring it in and they have it for SEVEN WEEKS, but that is just the beginning. Lord knows what they really did to it but I end up taking it back with the check engine light still on, and Mike (owner) has the audacity to try to charge me full price, which was about 3500 bucks if I recall correctly. He is the owner of the shop, told me he had the best guy on it, but was talking about my car like it was alien technology. IT WAS A TEN YEAR OLD MASS PRODUCED VEHICLE, not some formula 1 car. Anyway I ended up paying 1500 for the "parts" or whatever, Mike convinced me it was fine to drive on, but boom 5k miles later I get complete engine failure.

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.

I've never been given the run around or felt like I was being taken advantage of as a female. A lot of mechanics take advantage of women and try to charge us more thinking we don't know any better but this place doesn't do that. I was taking my car to Vandevere and paying 100.00 for an oil change when Ken's charges me 45.00 for the same service. Also it takes them maybe half an hour versus three hours at the dealer. You can't please everyone but this place has way more positive reviews than negative and I definitely recommend taking your vehicle here.
