If you are heading south on Kenny, you may have to do a u-turn to get into their lot because it's easy to miss. 2. They just opened so their waiting area is small and sparse, but there are chairs and a very clean bathroom for customers. But the prices are great and the guys do not try to over-sell you. They asked me how long I planned to keep my car and gave me options on part pricing of good, better, and best instead of trying to sell me on the most expensive parts. How refreshing is that? Give these guys a try - you won't be sorry!

I am not a part of the collective that finds this shop worthy of a positive review. In fact, I…read morewaited nearly 14 months before commiting my concerns to Yelp simply so I could rationally explain what a great mistake I'd made entrusting my car's service to them I'd purchased a used 2008 Saturn Vue in July 2017 (with an "As Is" warranty and 105,000 miles on it) from a local small car lot that has since gone out of business. From day one, the problems began. Before taking the car, but after complaining the front brakes felt mushy, the salesman (allegedly) had their mechanic perform a front only brake job. Within 500 feet off the lot, the check engine light came on. The gas gauge was off by half a tank. The front windows were stuck in the up position. (I was able to fix that problem myself.) The driver side headlamp burned out. The ABS sensor came on. And the passenger front end began making some very disconcerting noises. I didn't have a regular mechanic and had financed this vehicle for 36+months so I asked a co-worker who he'd recommend. He directed me to Noebull Automotive. Nearly $3,100 later I paid the charges in full and left the shop. Within 3 days of leaving the shop virtually every single repair came undone. The check engine light came back on. The ABS sensor reappeared. The fuel gauge tank unit (which was replaced) reverted back to the original problem, leaving me to "guess" how much gas I had within a day's time of "filling up". I was told the noise up front necessitated the installation of new front stabilizers and a sway bar assembly. Overall the steering improved (which may have been helped by an alignment also performed) but the ominous noises from the right front continued to occur. I brought all of my concerns to the manager's attention and he assured me things would be worked out. I brought the car back a day or so later (mostly because of the noises) and he determined that the catalytic converter was failing. In order to "save me" the cost of replacing it he offered to perform a Hail Mary technique of burning out the debris. $118 later nothing was resolved. As ALL of my savings had now been exhaused paying for work/fixes that consistently failed I resolved to sell the vehicle as quickly as possible and lick the financial wounds ALL-bull had visited on me. In short, they may have qualified and capable mechanics working for them but I think only rank amateurs worked on MY car. They saw me coming and cleaned my clock - a cautionary lesson to anyone else seeking automotive service from Noebull Automotive.

They got us into a bay immediately, diagnosed the problem accurately, and fixed it for a very fair price. If you need a trustworthy mechanic near Columbus, go here. They treated us like neighbors and got us back on the road the same day. Truly great people!

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.

They took advantage of me. Why even have the "call me with an estimate" option if they aren't going to do that? They kept my car all day. I even called mid-day and talked to someone on the phone and he never told me the cost of anything, never warned me about cost or talked numbers. He never offered advice about the services I'd requested, like what maintenance was typically done at this mileage. I learned to always request an estimate, to not be naive and trusting. I used to take my car here regularly but now I can't trust them.

I'll try to keep my review brief. Back in June, my Hyundai Sonata was targeted and broken into for…read morean attempted theft. They broke the glass and while they didn't steal the car, they completely messed up my steering panel. I tried calling a couple places that could fix this, C.A.R.S. told me they could, so I had my tow truck drop it off there. It took about a month to get my car back (that wasn't entirely their fault, my understanding is there was a cyber hack that delayed things. Still, it would have been nice for them to let me know that update versus me calling them asking what was going on). Not long after, my car was having trouble turning on. Tried jumper cables, that didn't work. So again, I had my car towed back to C.A.R.S. for further inspection. They replaced the starter. A month later, again, I was having troubles turning my car on and took it back for a third time to C.A.R.S. They told me basically nothing was wrong, my vehicle is in "theft mode" and if I just play around with the key fob, it should work. I found that odd because I never do anything different when I get in my car and turn it on, but ok. From there, sometimes it would turn on, sometimes it would not. I would have to basically hope and pray the "key fob" trick would work. After some more time, that no longer would work and I had to use jumper cables to get my car to turn on. I no longer could trust C.A.R.S. to fix this issue, as I kept racking up charges and my car was never reliable. So I took it to Luke's Auto instead. There, they found my module was completely disconnected. Since I had to jump my car so often, I now needed a new battery. I'm not a car guy, so getting into the specifics on the repairs is above my pay grade. But here's what I can confidently share: Driving (if I could drive at all) my car ever since I took it to C.A.R.S. made my life hell. Between my initial insurance claim and future visits, I spent thousands of dollars to not have a reliable vehicle. Ever since I took it to Luke's, it has been a pain-free experience and my vehicle has been perfectly normal. Had I simply taken my car there back in June, I would have saved so much money and had so much less stress. Not to mention, they came across significantly more communicative and customer-friendly, from their waiting room all the way to their follow-ups.

The mechanic (I think his name is Jerry) insisted he was giving me a good deal. The Kia dealership a few miles away quoted me less for the same repairs. I had also specifically told the owner and written down my concerns about my Sedona, saying I would not be interested in fixing this auto if the repairs are too much money. $2000 for a 13 year old beat auto is too much money. They didn't care or they didn't listen. Instead, the mechanic encouraged me to spend even more money by getting my tires replaced with them while my car was at their shop. I refused to let them fix a thing. And, I'm upset that they wasted my time by lying about "helping" me and giving me a good deal. Also, I wasted my money since the diagnostic charge was $115. In the end, I paid them to do nothing to my car. My impression of the mechanic and the owner is they are not honest nor do they have integrity as their sign on the building says. I found them to be unhelpful in every way that was most important to me. I also felt they wanted to argue with me about the cost of my repairs and the service they gave. That was very unprofessional. If I was closer to home I would not have taken my car here. But, I was 2 hours away from home when my Sedona was leaking coolant. If you are looking for someone to repair your car, I suggest avoiding this place. Maybe take it to a dealership and ask them if they can give you a discounted price on repairs as I did with Kia.
