This shop did a great job taking care of our family and getting us back on the road. We were…read moretraveling from NY to KY when our wheel bearing broke. We have a newborn and a 2 year old with us, we picked Jim's based on other reviews and we're glad we went there. We got to the shop 45 minutes before they closed, they took a look at it and order the part just based on hearing it. My husband took the car back first thing in the morning when they opened and they had it fixed within 2 hours. The staff were all friendly and helpful, let my husband see how bad the wheel bearing looked and the price was more than fair considering the urgency of the situation. If we lived in this area, we would be customers for life. Thank you so much Eric, Mike and Tim!!

If you need muffler or exhaust work, I HIGHLY recommend Ritzman Muffler on Cleveland Massillon Rd…read more The owner is extremely nice, honest, and helpful. He took the time to evaluate my car AND show me what needed to be done. He went above and beyond to help me find the parts I needed. I needed gaskets for my exhaust. I left the shop after the diagnostic in search of the parts. Took the parts back the same day and my car was on the rack within 30 mins. The repair took about another 30 mins. Pricing? REASONABLE and AFFORDABLE! I had to ask him twice for the price bc I couldn't believe it. Car came off the rack acting brand new. They have earned a lifetime customer. Word of mouth is so important, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Check them out!

I authorized $1,600 in work described as safety-related, then got a second opinion and was told some of the recommended repairs were not even needed at that time. Everyone was friendly, but the conflicting recommendations left me uncomfortable. I won't be returning and would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before approving costly repairs. After my experience, I'm honestly surprised to see so many nearly 5-star reviews.

When I asked how they diagnosed, they said they popped the hood and listened. Seriously that's what they did. Charged me almost 180.00 for that.

Had all the work done somewhere else for half of what they wanted. Fair warning .

Was attempting to buy a car from out of state so I needed a local repair shop to conduct a…read morepre-purchase inspection. Josh and the team at Layland Motors were great. They were very easy to work with, and completed the inspection very quickly. It was extremely thorough, including a road test, tire/brake/rotor checks, transmission fluids, etc. Josh also took pictures of any issues with the car and quoted prices on a repairs, which I was able to use at a bargaining tool. The price of the inspection was on the high side ($275 including tax) which is about $125 more than the national inspection companies but it was a much more thorough inspection. Wouldn't hesitate to use Layland Motors again and highly recommend their service.

Still taking my car here two years later. I don't really understand the negative reviews I've seen…read morebecause I have never experienced any kind of unprofessionalism from this place. The employees have never sat in the office and gossiped about anything. The front desk girl is very nice and friendly and does talk to you but she is not gossiping. The quality of the services they provide and the prices can't be beat. Anytime I bring my car in for a specific issue they fix it. 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.

DO NOT TAKE A GERMAN CAR HERE - OR ANY CAR FOR THAT MATTER. PLEASE READ…read more So my check engine light popped on my 2014 Audi a5, a friend of mine recommended this place. 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. For the love of God do not make the same mistake I did of thinking these guys know wtf they are doing.

When I moved to NE Ohio 25 year's ago, there were two things I did immediately to give me peace of…read moremind; find a good doctor and good car mechanic. 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.
