Great service and staff. Fit me into a tight schedule and got me back on the road in no time!

The first time I called Kim he cut me off & would not let me talk he tells you 2 different prices on 2 different days & then I called Kim & told him to put my vehicle back in my driveway on Friday & didn't get my vehicle back till Wednesday & I had to fight with the Tow truck driver to put my Vehicle in the driveway before I gave him the $500 for doing nothing to my Vehicle & I had to stop the Tow truck driver & get my Keys back. read more

Honest, hard working independent people. Nice to support a locally owned business, that I can trust. Will go back again.

I was aware of some issues with my car, but on taking it to Tarvin they claimed it needed more extensive work than it actually did. They claimed to have run a diagnostic, but said they couldnt show me a print-out of it. (Im told by another mechanic that even basic scanners have History, and Print options)... I also knew of one repair it DID need, which would have been indicated on a scanner, which they missed. So I do not believe they did any diagnostics, but just tried to get me to do a complete tune-up, costing me far more. When I asked for tge old parts they conveniently didnt have them. Hmmm...again, very suspicious. I dont recomnend Tarvin. Have also spoken to other people who've had bad experiences of a similar nature there, as well as just poorly performed work. read more

I called to get a price quote for brakes and was told a price but after sitting at the shop for over an hour I was given a price several hundred more than I was quoted. they had all my tires off said the back brakes were worse than front and Jeff Wyler said the opposite. I was frustrated and tired had to get back to work so I told them to ahead and replace both front and back. said be about another hour be done. 3 hours later paid 3x what I was quoted. I should have left and told them to just put it back together but I didn't and that's my stupidity but maybe this will save another woman from even going there in the first place. read more

Offered to, "rig up" a part that "breaks all the time" on my vehicle after damaging the part while fixing a different part. No thanks, I'll just let the dealer fix it correctly. read more

Tarvin Auto Service - Tires Near Me - Batavia, Ohio

Kim Tarvin has been my family's mechanic for at least a decade. He is always fair and honest with me about what work needs to be done and what we can wait on if an extensive fix is not in my budget at the time. read more

I am not from the area and unfortunately caught 2 nails in my tire. I did not have an appointment and they still managed to help me in under 30 minutes. Great service!!! read more

Thank you Tarvin Auto, these guys saved us big time when we were taken advantage of by a crooked service manager from Mineke. The service manager said that he had done a bunch of work on my son's car worth thousands of dollars, then the transmission supposedly went out and they wanted to rebuild it at my expense, another $2,500. We got a hold of Kim Tarvin and had the car towed over there, him and his expert mechanics went thru our car and determined that all this work had never been done. Kim kept us informed thru the whole process and he was very fair in his prices and we felt blessed to have had our car serviced by an honest man and his very highly trained staff. I would refer anybody to them, Kim I'm sorry it took so long to get my review but you have no idea how much we appreciated what you did for us. I wasn't sure if there was an answer for our problem but there was and you were it........ Thank you so much and I will never forget what you did for us. God bless you and your wonderful team, if you're ever in California please let me know, we would love to take you out to dinner. F Cobo read more

Kim and his awesome team have been our family's auto service provider since before I could drive. They have worked weekends to make sure I can take my car back to college on a Sunday, they have looked into part warranty and have never over charged us. When I got a flat tire on my way to out of town wedding, one of his great guys came and changed it for me and gave me a spare tire and then after I got back into town gave me a great deal on tires. I happily drive 30 minutes to get my oil changed because I trust the men at Tarvin Auto. They are just an all around great company and I recommend them to everyone. read more

Disappointed to be as kind as possible. Took my vehicle to this shop 3 different times for the same problem. Although they believed they found the source of the problem the first two times and did in fact do over $900.00 in repairs, the noise remained. After they attempted to dismiss the sound the first two times as stating they didn't hear the noise I was describing. I left the car there for two days so they could again look for the source of the noise. They tried a few things and out of the goodness of the owners heart he didn't charge me for the parts/labor he tried and removed because his hypothesis fix didn't stop the source of the noise either. I guess I should thank him for not charging me for a repair I didn't ask for and was not the issue, because he actually verbally said just that! After asking for a thank you, he went a little further to explain how ignorant I am about auto repairs. Since I'm not the one with 'Mechanic' embroidered on my Dickie work shirt, I would tend to agree with his assessment, but really do you attack a customers' intelligence. I've never been treated as rudely by someone who relies on customers for a living. All I can say is never again. I believe Mr. Tarvin runs a clean shop, with competent employees. The first two repairs where not the source of the problem, but were normal maintenance items so I believe the repairs were done in good faith. Regardless of good faith or not, I know I can take my hard earned money to a shop that will not be offensive and rude. Ridiculous! read more
