Then after another week and an additional fee, I received my vehicle back. Unfortunately, it was still leaking coolant. I finally brought it elsewhere where the leak was fixed in about an hr. I highly suggest you avoid this shop, on top of the inconvenience of my car being out of commission for 3 weeks, the other mechanic said they significantly overcharged me.

They not once talked down to me or at me, which can happen to women, from time to time. After this wonderful experience I ended up going back to the Xenia office again to get some other work done on the car I did buy. Although, I do live in Fairborn, I promise Xenia will have all my business going forward. I HIGHLY recommend them. Very professional, and fast!!

After checking into a couple of car shops that remove scratches, I decided on having 'Preferred…read moreDent Repair' (PDR) to the work. The owner (Gary James) came across as personable & knowledgeable. His cost estimate was very reasonable. His shop is small but very clean and organized. The end result was that the scratches were totally removed and the quality of workmanship exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Gary to anyone who needs minor body work done and you will not be disappointed. They specialize in dent repair, hail damage repair, paint protection film application and ceramic coating.

I brought my 2004 Kia Spectra here because I was sent here to have a rear wheel stud replaced after…read morea discount tire shop damaged them. Unfortunately, after the repair I immediately noticed a new repetitive squeaking/grinding noise from the wheel and aggressive vibration when braking at higher speeds. I contacted the shop about the issue and was initially told that it was likely a coincidence and that I would need to make another appointment. I later had the vehicle inspected independently and eventually disassembled the rear brakes for inspection and replacement of the pads and rotors. Once everything was apart, the problem became very clear. The two replacement wheel studs that had been installed were not the correct application/specification for my Kia's hub. Although the thread size worked, the studs were intended for a different vehicle and did not seat properly in the hub. Because they were not sitting flush, the brake rotor could not sit flat against the hub. The rotor visibly wobbled when rotated and was actually contacting/grinding against the brake hardware. One of the brake pads at the affected wheel was also completely worn down to the metal backing plate, while the pads on the opposite rear wheel still had substantial material remaining. I inspected the caliper slide pins during the brake job and they were moving freely. What concerns me most is that the rotor interference was noticeable simply by spinning the rotor by hand. The grinding was obvious, and the vehicle was returned to me without this being caught. The car also was not road-tested afterward, which likely would have revealed the noise and braking vibration. I understand that mistakes can happen during repairs, but I expected the correct application-specific wheel studs to be installed and the work to be checked before the vehicle was returned to me. I ended up having to have a third party diagnose the problem, obtain another inspection, and redo the rear brake work and stud work to fix the issue. I also want to add that during this process the mechanics at this auto shop disconnected my dash cam without my consent, not once was I informed that my camera was disconnected and did not find out until the next day, I'm not sure why the shop would touch my property without permission without obtaining approval first, another issue I had was a foul odor in my car when it was returned. Based on my experience, I would never return here for future repairs.
