Especially if you have an older model car, this is the place to bring. Those are his specialty. I've gotten brakes, oil changes, tune-ups, and tires here, and he's always been affordable, and worth the drive from Cincinnati. He may not be the fastest, no one-hour oil change here, but him and his crew do good work, and you know it'll last. He's very straight to the point. Not overly talkative, but is nice enough. Just wants to get on to the next thing. Also if you're in the market for a cheap car for maybe a kid, or just are strapped for cash and need a clunker. Aster can hook you up there. Again these will probably be mid 90's or older cars, but they'll be tuned up and ready to drive off the lot. If you're in the market for a car described above, let him and know and he can work some magic between friends and the auctions, he'll always come out with something.

Erich took the time to listen to my nasty noises and troubleshoot with me at no profit to him. A few weeks later, my friend still couldn't get the tranny fixed and I decided it was time to take my car out of my friend's garage and in to Schmidt. Erich explained my problems and showed me the cause of the malfunction. Furthermore, he spent time with me and explained what I can do at home should the problem reoccur. This week, the culprit reared its head again. I tempted my hand at tending to the tranny, but was having trouble. I went to Erich and he gave me the tool I needed to finish the job! If you can find a mechanic that will show you what you need to do to maintain your tranny at home and then give you the tools to do it yourself, then I think you've found a winner. The garage appears well maintained. Schmidt is personable and professional. He made me feel respected (unlike those condescending mechanics). Schmidt Auto will be getting my future business without a doubt. PS Yelp has the address wrong. It's 8817 W Central Ave, Springboro 45066. If it weren't for the tire shop, I never would have found this place!

However, since 2018 or 2019, there was a noticeable change. On Easter 2021, I took my car there to be looked at. The battery in my car was going dead overnight, even after purchasing a brand new one. They had my car until the end of July, 2021, and STILL had not found the cause. Luckily, I could borrow my father's car when I needed to. But can you imagine if this were my only transportation?!? How could they expect me to go close to 4 months without my car? Finally, I went to pick it up and took it somewhere else. The other repair shop found the issue in 4 hours, tops. I had to return to Bob Sumerel's because the brand new battery they sold me had gone dead, but it was still under warranty. When I told him that the other business found the problem within a few hours, all he said was "hmm". I never got an apology for how long they had my car. In addition, their prices seem to be very expensive.

The check-in procedure at the Walmart Auto Care Center in Franklin, OH is the worst. I brought my…read morecar in one Saturday morning to have a tire replaced and to get an oil change. The line at the counter was about 5 customers deep. One person (Joe) was checking in customers and moving about as slow as I've seen any customer service person move. I noted the time (10:20am) and called my wife who was waiting for me in her car in the parking lot. Based upon the length of the line, the speed (or lack thereof) of the guy at the counter, and my past experiences, I told my wife that I predicted that it would be 30 minutes before I would be done checking in. After about 10 minutes waiting in line, Joe asks another employee to work the counter while he goes to lunch. The new guy takes over and unfortunately doesn't move much faster than Joe. Finally, I reach the counter and check in for my service. While the counter person strolls out to my car to inspect my vehicle and get my mileage, I look at the clock, realize that I've waited in line for exactly 36 minutes, and I caution everyone behind me that I waited in line for over 30 minutes. To make matters worse, this location only had one model tire in stock that fits my car. I'm questioning my sanity because the discount prices at Walmart don't make up for the value of the time that I wasted waiting in line just to check in. It's obvious that Walmart doesn't care about customer service when it comes to their Auto (Don't) Care Customers. If they really cared, they would assign a few people to work the Auto Center counter, especially on Saturdays. They should also look into streamlining the check in process. It takes way too long for the Walmart person to walk out to inspect each vehicle and record the mileage. Just ask each customer to note their own mileage and skip the unnecessary inspection. No other auto service center does an inspection while I'm waiting to check in.

I purchased 4 tires on Walmart.com and took them to this store to have them installed…read more I called the auto center on Friday and I was told they're not taking appointments and it will be first come first served and that I should get there as early as possible. On Saturday, I arrived at Walmart before they opened, there were 6 people ahead of me, waiting at the auto center door. When they opened we went in and formed a line to the counter, quite a few people came in for service after me. Of the 6 people ahead of me, 4 were having tire service. When I got to the counter and explained what I was there for, I was asked if I was dropping my vehicle off. I told them I was going to wait. I was then told it would be 3 to 3 1/2 hours because there were a few people ahead of me. That was ok with me. It was 48 degrees outside and no place to wait inside the store so you have to walk around the store or wait in the parking lot, I chose the lot. After waiting 5 hours and my vehicle was still untouched, I asked when my tires would be installed and I was told it would be 2 hours or more because there are 3 people ahead of me. I didn't fail to notice that all the people who got in line behind me were already gone home with their cars finished. I asked how it went from a 3 hour wait to 7 hours. The answer was "I don't know, I just bring the cars in. I can give your keys back if you don't want to wait". The 7 hours turned into 8 hours sitting in a Walmart parking lot to have 4 tires put on a vehicle because the employees are incompetent and pathetic. All they could tell me was they don't know why. I can't imagine purchasing tires from Walmart or going to a Walmart auto center ever again.
