I had messaged with Melinda about Bobby coming out to swap a seized ac compressor on my 04 escape…read more He came out in a timely manor and fixed it on a SUNDAY! Bobby was EXTREMELY helpful and got the new compressor installed within an hour or so. I think I found my new mechanic in the Columbus Area. They only do Mobile service for now but that works best for me because he came straight to my apt and fixed my car there! If anyone needs work done I would highly recommend this company. Fast, easy, convenient, and affordable! I was expecting to pay a lot more than I did but they are professional and understand that good service and reasonable prices go a lot farther than most anything else!

He said he will get the parts for me online and asked me to cash app the money so I cashapp him 453.51 which was the total amount for the parts, his wife Melissa said that the parts will be delivered to there address within a week or so...I took my vehicle to another mechanic to have a diagnostic for my airbag light because at the time Bobbie did not have one and the other mechanic did a full diagnostic on the vehicle and found that I did not need the intake manifold or the secondary air infection control valve, that it was only one of the airlines where cracked so the mechanic replaced it for 100.00...I message Melissa back and told her that I didn't need the parts and that she can return them so I can get my money back...she said she would then begin to ghost me and make up stories as to why my refund was taking so long...she said she was sick in the hospital and that she will send it the end of the day last week but never did...she keep saying im going send it, then they both ghost me completely....Im in the process now of suing them, this is wrong how they do people and I will get my money back!!!

I'm the daughter of a mechanic and my dad was unable to service my car with him because he's in the…read morehospital. Because of that, I'm ABSOLUTELY weary of mechanics because I've been done dirty of ones who don't have the same integrity as my dad. Lots of unnecessary up-selling and repairs unnecessary for a rebuilt salvage title vehicle and TONS of scare tactics to make more money (very common with single women trying to get car repairs) That being said: my experience at Auto Emporium was a breath of fresh air after a ton of bad experiences. I had a general idea what was wrong with my car (difficulty starting/misfiring/stalling). They took detailed notes in what I could provide about the problem and instead of wasting time digging around, they reached back out to me for additional rounds of questions TO REALLY pinpoint what the root problem was. Too many mechanics are too stubborn to reach back out for questions of the owners which can help diagnose problems sooner - it's a huge time waster!! So having their staff with a running list of questions had my car fixed SAME DAY. That timeframe was absolutely insane to me. I love that they also took the time out to itemize EVERYTHING that came up on the inspection and while that did have a price tag, I now have a to-do list of the next repairs coming up so I can save up for them. It's relieving having answers for things that could be problems later. Additionally, since like-items were itemized I could pick and choose the repairs that absolutely needed to be done for this visit. One of my concerns was the hours of operation, but they have a great little lockbox system for car/key dropoffs. So don't let that deter you from using their services! All my in person/text/phone interactions were all great! My car is starting and running beautifully again after them flushing out my transmission system same day (which is a huge relief because I was trying to organize rides for 3am work shifts) That being said, if my dad is still out of commission for the other identified issues, I would totally come back and have them do the repairs.

Watch out! On 5/6/26, I went to this mechanic shop, because my Kia Forte 2017 Odom: 1366000, was…read moresluggish, couldn't accelerate and misfired. Which was common for the make/model/year. I took it there, with a FULL TRUST with honest local mechanic shop. Oh mannnnn, I was 100% WRONG!!!!! The females receptionists were nice, but the mechanic himself, either he's a quack, didn't know what he's doing or straight up liar. He said I need to replace my engine and quoted me $6k, and charged me $125 for a BOGUS! diagnostics. I was extremely stressed out by what's said, checked out online further, found out it could be the Head Valve Gasket, Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils issue. I find a person to replaced the gasket and the spark plugs. I studied further and decided to replace the Ignition Coils MYSELF! That's right! Less than $400, later, my car runs top of the line. Check engine light was off, and no more issue. My suggestion, either check yourself online, don't trust the mechanic shops. Also I wasted $125 for a FALSE DIAGNOSTIC. This is not a slander or defamation, because it's true. My friend who's a highly decorated vet was also there, accompanied me as the witness.

Took my vehicle in for a major oil leak. Was told it was the valley pan gasket, valve cover gasket,…read moreoil cooler line, and oil pan gasket. Due to the extent of the oil leak I asked if the rear main seal was leaking. I was told no that it was the only items listed above. Approved the repairs and picked up the vehicle. Was told they had to power wash the underneath due to the amount of oil that had been leaking. So not to be alarmed if I saw some drips for awhile. Drove the vehicle less than 50 miles and the leak was just as bad as it always was had to put 2.5 quarts of oil in. Took back to Dart was then told it was the rear main seal. This was definitely misdiagnosed the first time. They then wanted another $1000 to do the rear main seal. Per the owner Dave after doing the other repairs it added more oil pressure causing the rear main seal to go out. Oil pressure was never an issue and carries the same oil pressure before and after repairs. At this point I'm not convinced they even replaced the gaskets they said they replaced. As I can't tell any difference with the oil leak. Definitely would not recommend this shop.
