Great experience at this place and very well ran. Had some problems with my truck was able to get me in the same day and have it ready 2 days later. This was seriously the first time someone has ever walked me through everything I had going on. Even offered to have there specialist come up as well if I wanted. When I went in to pick up my car they had everything laid out on the counter so I could visually see everything they had told me they were going to replace and had the team as well there. Mind blown!!!! I might add that before they did anything he even offered to let me take anywhere else and get an another opinion before doing anything. Hats off to these guys. Can't tell you enough how much I recommend this place.

Last night I noticed my engine light come and had no idea what was wrong. I remembered a business card I received in the mail describing "The Shop" for automotive repair. I took my vehicle in and discovered a great place to take my cars for repair. It's nice to find a repair shop you can trust for outstanding service. Today they won a new customer.

I took my vehicle to them recently and they did a great job fixing my brakes and more. They were honest and the prices were fair. Very friendly and I appreciated being updated via text, shown pictures of what needed to be fixed, and I was even shown the old parts of what was repaired when I arrived. The Shop will be my go-to now for auto repair.

These are the most honest and hardworking people you’ll ever meet. my sister and I are for Cincinnati and we were in the area to purchase a car from carvana (I KNOW) we got it and went to find the first body shop that would take us. first every other body shop only works on specific cars then the others that we did find in the area had a wait till next week. We called them they said they were about to close but will take us for a inspection. we went there they said this is a “no go car “had a previous accident that we were not aware of problems with the oil and bunch of other things that was never explained to us. They are so nice hardworking and knowledgeable they told us to take this care back and get a new one or DONT BUY FROM CARVANA EVER. The people there are the best . “Always go somewhere you can trust” these are those people thank you so much for all your help

steven was great, was able to pop my hood open when no one else could! fast, efficient and great service. will be going back. plus was able to walk across the street to the frozen yogurt shop (sweet savannahs) and cute little pet store (derby paws) and check them out while they were working on my car!

The only place I would take my GMC diesel truck. They have always been fair priced and quick to get to me. My truck is used for work and is $80+ k to replace and they have always done me right.

My mother-in-law had a fantastic experience with the shop regarding her car repairs. She specifically asked me to leave them a 5 star review on google. They efficiently addressed her oil cooler issue and they also proactively informed her about the condition of the brakes. Her car was fixed in one day! Previously, she had visited another shop expressing concerns about unusual noises when turning, but they failed to resolve the issue or notify her about the bad brakes during their inspection. My mother-in-law felt very comfortable communicating with the technician at this shop, which made the experience even better. Thank you for your exceptional service and for ensuring her safety on the road!

Oil Housing Adaptor cracked resulting in Coolant/Oil leaking and mixing. The Shop got my vehicle in and repaired the next day after calling for a quote. Cost was the most competitive of a handful of quotes I received from other local repair shops. Would use again!

There's a reason The Shop's parking lot is perpetually packed, and it's not because the towering skeleton out front is a popular fellow: these guys know what they're doing, and they do it well. We have five vehicles, from my grandfather's aging F150 that's nearly as old as I am to a Fusion young enough to go to kindergarten to an ugly-but-running Town and Country, and The Shop's team of mechanics has provided excellent service to all of them. All of our automotive work is done by these guys now, and I recommend that you do the same.

Moved back to J-Town. Passed this shop several times and had never stopped in. Needed some engine work done on my 96 Mustang GT. Explained the problem and was told they could take care of it. They completed the work in a timely manner and kept in contact with me the whole time the vehicle was there. The staff is very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and professional. Would recommend this shop to any car person that wants quality work done. All my cars will be going here for any repairs.

I have taken my car here a few different times for different issues. They have been exceptional every time. The staff is friendly and knowledgable and they are very open and transparent with cost and what is going on with your car. They have provided pictures of the damaged items/areas before they were replaced and the part removed from my car when I went to pick it up. The clear straitforward unambiguity is incredible and as someone who has been burnt by mechanics in the past taking advantage of my ignorance, The Shop is a welcome relief for a good autoshop.

Had a vehicle brought to The Shop for a pre-purchase inspection. Steven was fantastic in working with me on scheduling and the inspection was exactly what I needed. He went through what he found and gave me the information I needed to make a decision. Used vehicles are never perfect, but having a mechanic you can trust help you understand both the current condition as well as what you can expect in terms of repairs down the road is super valuable. I will continue to bring my business here. Highly recommend.

Steven was down to earth and very helpful. I didn’t feel like I was being taken advantage of and I felt heard when I explained the weird sound I was hearing coming from my car. Their pricing was much cheaper than Meinike plus this is a local business. The Shop was able to assess and repair my car within 24 hours (serpentine belt replacement, oil change, gasket replacement, spark plug replacement). The inside of my car was not dirty nor did it smell of oil like some of the other shops I’ve used in the past. Also, I realized when I got home that I had left my backpack in the backseat the whole time that had personal information and my laptop inside and nothing was disturbed or missing. The Shop and Steven were friendly, efficient, and trustworthy. Definitely will be going back for future car repair needs. Heard of this business via word of mouth and I plan to spread the word too. Great experience!

I have family members who have had excellent experiences with The Shop, so that's where I took my car after it broke down. Steven called me every day with detailed updates to what he was finding and what it would cost. He was kind and friendly, I felt informed and confident that my car was in good hands, and I feel the price I paid was extremely fair. Best of all, my car drives beautifully (and safely) again. I will absolutely be returning next time my car needs work.

I had my Honda civic serviced there and was taken care of so quickly! Tires were going bad and they replaced all four, did an alignment and replaced a wheel bearing that was much needed. My car drives so smoothly now and is much quieter. Also their prices are honest. I would visit here again and refer anyone to The Shop for their car needs! Thank you

I bought my car used a year and a half ago, and it has been nothing but trouble. I’ve taken it to multiple places for various repairs. I brought it to The Shop initially for a transmission leak, but they identified and addressed other issues I had been dealing with. They communicated with me throughout the process and got my car running better than it did when I first bought it. I’ll be bringing my car here from now on!

I cannot say enough about how fantastic The Shop is! They are not only a great auto shop, but one with integrity. Steven and Jacob were so amazing. I went in to have my wheel barring replaced. I told them about my experience at Meineke and that they just did the brakes... Jacob found that the brake job I just had done by Meineke (Don't ever go there for anything!) reused old hardware and was missing pieces, and that a tire was missing a lug nut because they stripped the bolt! Jacob was so nice and fixed all of Meineke's mistakes for free, made sure to show me what the bad parts looked like compared to the new ones, AND without me asking, took pics of the awful job Meineke did (along with notes) so that I could make formal complaints to the company. To top it off, they gave me an amazing deal on the wheel barring replacement! They 100% have my business from here on out. Thank you for making sure my car was taken care of and safe to drive 🚗👨‍🔧💙

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Shop after experiencing persistent issues with my vehicle that other shops could not resolve. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor that immediately put me at ease. The staff at The Shop especially Jacob were not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the diagnostic process they would undertake to identify the problem. Unlike other places where I felt rushed or dismissed, here I felt valued as a customer. After a comprehensive inspection, they quickly diagnosed the issue that had stumped other mechanics. It was clear that their expertise was top-notch. They provided me with a detailed explanation of what needed to be done, along with transparent pricing that was very reasonable considering the quality of service provided. What impressed me most was their efficiency. They completed the repairs in a timely manner without compromising on quality. I left feeling confident in my vehicle’s performance, which is something I hadn’t felt in quite some time. if you’re looking for a mechanic who combines friendliness with exceptional skill, look no further than The Shop. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of automotive repair services. They truly go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction! Thank you all so much!

Had my Highlander in to do an oil change after attempting myself. Turns out the last place I had it had tightened the oil filter to a Herculean level. Luckily the guys there were able to remove it without damaging the filter housing which was amazing. I have found my new permanent home for auto repair.

Steven (The owner) was recommended to me by a friend for a tune up and eval on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma. I could not have asked for better service and transparency from Steven and his crew. They went ahead and gave me a run down on the price for the services my truck needed before pulling the trigger on the repairs, and educated me along the process. The entire process was smooth, honest, and quite efficient. Had everything taken care of within a day, and I told them they could take their time with my truck. I will only be taking my truck to this shop from here on out.
