I didn’t get work done, but I pulled in with the drive shaft hanging from the bottom of my suv. Gary, the service manager, couldn’t help me with short staffing but was able to link me up with someone who could. Sometimes just a little help goes a long way when you need to get back on the road after a long morning. I can’t say anything about the work of the shop but I can say I truly appreciated the assistance, professionalism and willingness just to help me out.
Clintonville Automotive has been servicing my Mercedes for the past 5+ years! They are great techs and provide a good value for excellent car care!!!
This is the only mechanic I'll take my car to. As a young woman who honestly knows nothing about cars, I've felt taken advantage of at my fair share of mechanics. This is not one of those places. I've come here twice for major repairs, and both times they've done minor stuff for free (topping off my oil, rotating my tires, etc.) as well as being very transparent about the cost and reasoning behind the cost of everything, and explaining everything very clearly without being condescending, in spite of the fact that, as noted, I know nothing about cars. The first repair happened during a busy work week for me, so my dad was more in touch with the mechanic than I was, and he was very impressed that he was called when the price was $10 more than what he was quoted. I have no doubt that the people here know what they're doing, care about it, and I trust them with my car. I cannot recommend this place enough!
These guys are great. Excellent communicators, speedy but careful work, and competitive pricing. They also fit me in prior to a vacation! They have a great app that allows you to track the work they're doing. I'm thankful!
Hands down the best experience at a mechanic that I’ve ever had. The staff here is SO wonderful!!! They were transparent and honest about the recommended repairs and gave full estimates in advance. This is the only mechanic I’ve been to that has taken the time to explain/teach me what issues they found and how the repairs will remedy the problem (without being rude or condescending to a woman who clearly doesn’t know much about engines lol). Will be taking my car here for everything in the future and recommending to all my friends. Thank you so much for the work you do!
