When you own an old car, you'd better know a good mechanic…read more Being the new owner of a Toyota Tercel, 1987 edition I needed a few things on a regular basis. Oil changes, brake jobs and the occasional major repair. I discovered that my wheel bearing on the left side had gone wonky. Being that I had the car for a month and needed my job, I looked all over Toledo for a mechanic who was both competent and cheap. Sometimes the two go together, and sometimes the gulf between them is the distance between Earth and Pluto. Not in this case. I was in charge of the cab's maintenance. I would find a good shop and the boss would cut me a check for the bill, or usually reimburse me for what I had spent. Kyles became the shop of choice simply because he did great work, got the cab back on the road in a timely manner, and didn't overcharge simply because I had a cab. So I figured if he could do for the cab, he could do for my car. I brought the Doodlebug in and was told that I would be better off junking it. I retorted it was a Toyota with only 118,000 miles on it.. Hardly a used car since a similar version belonging to my friend Steve had attained 989,000 miles and the only reason he got rid of his was because the body fell off the chassis. I intended to eclipse that. I told them money was no object and to fix it. Long story short, 3 days later it was running again like a new car and my wallet was lighter by only 600 dollars. Instead of replacing the bearing they had to replace the whole rear end, which was a bonus for me. My car ran great and I used it for many more years beyond that. The car has been retired because it threw a rod in a fit of pique, but I will always take my cars to Kyles simply because he is one guy who is a decent mechanic, and will never overcharge you.

Took my car to Ramon's Automotive when my normal mechanic was too busy to fit me in. Needed routine…read moremaintenance and some cleanup. The owner, presumably Ramon, struck me a 'slick an sleazy'. Tried to sell me things I didn't need before the car was ever looked at. Was supposed to do testing and didn't do it. Just sprayed on lubricant and never even took anything apart. Charged me for something I could have done with product from Autozone. The car ended up breaking down and having to go to another mechanic 2 days after being here. The bolts were still rusted into place, so I KNOW he did nothing under the hood but spray some product on parts. Acted surprised when I wasn't paying cash and muttered "I wish I would have known" like he's cooking his books. Avoid this place. If the owner is there he will rip you off.

Words are just words, but I want to say that I was very pleased with the work and the cost. This shop will not give you fluff. They are straightforward and to the point. If you want someone to hug you and wipe tears, go to a con-man shop. If you want a straight forward summary with a no-bull atmosphere, come here. It is rare for me to recommend a shop that would perform to the same or higher standards I would do myself. This is a shop that is worth the visit.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Thayer Honda! I purchased my 2022 Honda…read moreCivic Sport Touring Hatch in November 2022, and Mark Toth was my salesperson. He was absolutely fantastic to work with and made the entire buying process easy, comfortable, and stress-free. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I was happy with my purchase and making sure my car was CLEAN! Although Mark is no longer with Thayer Honda, I wanted to take a moment to recognize him because he made such a positive impression on me and played a big part in making my car-buying experience so great back in 22. Coming up is my 4-year anniversary with my Civic Hatch, and I can honestly say I couldn't be happier with it. I absolutely love my car! In all this time, I've had nothing go wrong with it, which has made owning it such a great experience. Ive done nothing but oil changes,tire rotates,engine and cabin filter replacements and thats it! My service experience over the past four years has also been 5 stars!!! The service team has consistently taken great care of me and my vehicle, and I've always felt like a valued customer. If you're bringing your vehicle in for service, please see Ethan Pooley in the service department. He does an excellent job and has always made my service experience a great one. I really appreciate the care and attention he gives to both me and my car. It's hard to find a dealership where you have such a great experience not only when purchasing a vehicle but also throughout the years of ownership. Thayer Honda has continued to provide excellent service, and I truly appreciate the care they've shown me and my car. A huge thank you to Mark Toth for helping me find a car that I absolutely love, Ethan Pooley for taking such great care of me in the service department, and the entire Thayer Honda team for continuing to provide such a great experience. I would highly recommend Thayer Honda to anyone looking for a great vehicle, cleanliness, a great buying experience, and outstanding service after the sale!

In fact, they refuse to look at the sheet from the other dealership. Assuming it was fine I continued on until Valvoline told me there was a leak.

I never have any problems. I just miss the shop because it was hit by the tornado June 15,2023. I hope they're open soon. It's a huge loss for many people that live in the area. We need good mechanics that are honest and take care of the car and the customer. I've had to go elsewhere for repairs and been robbed blind. For instance, Firestone had to have new brakes put on my 2010 Honda in the front I was charged over $500 but I needed brakes replaced to be able to stop the car. I will tell you beware of where you go if you're stuck going to some other place other than Gary's automotive. Because you're going to be hopefully told the truth but nine times out of 10. I found out the hard way. Do you think you pull up to a corporate owned operation and it's lotta times just simply a rip off. $500 for disc brake replacement for two wheels not good oh and then they gave me the opportunity to get their company MasterCard that would take $40 off my bill. When I read the fine print, I realize that they just simply jacked the bill up $40 so that I can get their credit card take the $40 off be stuck with her interest and they still we're not giving me any discount on my the brake job. So don't bother with FIRESTONE. If the brakes could've waited, I would've waited for Gary's automotive. So Gary and Dave I give 15 to 20 stars no problem they're good honest people that work at that shop and own it.

AVOID - Quoted 3X More Than Other Shops! (0 stars!!)…read moreDC Auto quoted 2-3X MORE than every other shop for the exact same work. Price Comparison for identical turbo repair: DC Auto Repair: $6,500 Jim White Honda: $3,400 Japanese Auto: $2,500 Our Experience: Brought our 2018 Honda CRV in Monday at 8am for diagnostics as our engine light was on. Both my husband and I took the day off work and were told we'd get updates "in a couple of hours." 1:45pm (5 hours later): First call - might be turbo, need smoke test, "one more hour" 4:00pm (8 hours later): Finally told it's turbo, $6,500 estimate 4:45pm: Missy informs us the car was completely disassembled during diagnostic and will take over an hour to reassemble. But "sorry, we're closing!" She admitted they got "distracted" working on other cars during our diagnostic. We were never informed they'd be taking the car apart. Next day: Car towed back with a new scraping noise that wasn't there before. Bottom Line: Poor communication (8 hours, minimal updates) Disassembled car without permission Created new problems Attempted to overcharge by $3,000-4,500! Get multiple opinions. We got three quotes - DC was by far the worst. Should have read the 1-star reviews first!

I've had consistently great experiences with Edge Automotive. Jerry is wonderful to work…read morewith--knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly good at explaining options without ever being condescending. He takes the time to walk through the pros and cons of different approaches, usually with a recommendation, which makes it easy to make informed decisions. What really stands out is that Jerry always puts the customer's best interests first. Recently, he even referred me to another shop that specialized in the type of work I needed because he knew they could do it faster and at a lower cost. That kind of honesty and confidence is rare. The entire team is personable, professional, and clearly committed to great customer service. I always feel confident that I'm getting straightforward advice and quality work. I highly recommend Edge Automotive. The only downside is that, as much as I like Jerry and his team, I hope I don't have to see them too often!

They suggested that spark plugs may be a bit old and should be replaced. Sure. Spark plugs are @ $5 each and quick installation. Why not... Go ahead. NEVER ASSUME you will be treated fairly -- our costly mistake. --- Schaad's charged $23.71 for each of the FOUR spark plugs that could be baught at auto store for less than $10. Total for four = $94.84 Then they charged $125.00 to put the four spark plugs in. ----- Cost of the Tow was $65 ----- They broke the gas latch in the process of all of this. They ordered the part, we brought the car back and they fix it for free. They were very friendly and I was hoping to use them in the future for other vehicles. Instead, I've told my six sisters, their husbands and my two brothers about the $23.71 spark plugs. There are 18 nephew and nieces + spouses over the age of 25 that live in the area also. That is just my side of the family. We make it a point to share our experiences good or bad. Places to go to and use and those places to avoid and tell others to avoid. I don't mind anyone making money/a living. I even pay a bit extra for family owned and local businesses. But I will warn anyone and everyone to avoid those who take advantage (i.e., $23.71 for a single spark plug to go on an old, cheap car). Those are the places you AVOID. ---------- You Have Been Warned ---------- 1 Star for Towing in less than 30 minutes 1 Star for Quick phone response and friendliness
