The guy I dealt with was nice but the price was high and seemed to have more issues after they looked at it

Great customer service and friendly! I'm 3 hours out of town and they were able to get me in for a used car inspection before buying a car! Very thorough and upfront with the vehicle condition. Would highly recommend them for your vehicle's service.

Amazing service! Was able to be squeezed in early in the morning for an inspection. Showed my video of the noise coming from my vehicle. Mechanic checked twice and nothing that was immediate problems or any at all. He could've been dishonest and gave me an imaginary issue with my vehicle, and taken advantage of specially with the video I showed. But I wasn't and I also wasn't charged for the inspection either! It's very rare nowadays to find a HONEST, trustworthy repair shop. Thank you men for all that you do!

I took my 1973 Mach 1 to Ernies. What started as a blown head gasket turned into a new engine and headers. While it was there we sent my Fmx transmission to his specialist. Bill, the owner, worked on it himself in between his normal customers needs. It was a big job ND he did gret! My baby is back and better than ever. I plan on taking my autos there in the future

Local repair shop, been around a long time. Will ONLY do NEEDED repairs, not just to "make money". Honest, dependable. Too many "customers" treat them badly (like using their second set of keys to drive away without paying).

We were on a family vacation and on our way home when the alternator decided it was going to go out. Luckily we were close to our hotel when this happened. The next morning I started calling several places hoping to find someone to fix this and get us back in the road. The owner of the shop said to come right in and he would do whatever he could to get us back on the road. I cannot thank the owner for his ability to get us in without an appointment and able to get back home. If you are in the Columbus Ohio area this is the place to go.

Our family has been going to Ernies for years, and all I can say is terrible customer service. Great mechanics very thorough and experienced. But customer service is part of the process also.

Too expensive, I don't think the mechanic price labor according to other mechanic prices, It seems that he prices according to how hard it's goin to be for him. Especially if he hasn't worked on your car type often. I have a friend who is currently utilizing these services. And almost everyday something else is wrong with the car since she got it back. I don't know if it there fault I just don't think they are really fixing her car. And I don't think they know exactly what is wrong with it. Be careful

I've been coming here for years. It was recommended to me by some who has came for years as well. In fact, her dad started coming here when Ernie was the owner. It's now owned by his son Bill. I have never felt him being dishonest with me and the prices are exceptional for honest work. Bill will go out of his way to save you money while other mechanics will just start replacing parts that don't need it. I'll continue to use Ernies automotive for many years to come.

I have not been in this place of business for years now. I will say this about this establishment. Owner is the most honest man I have ever dealt with in his business I would highly recommend Ernies. Truly this place is built from Refferal great work and won't over charge or play games if your vehicle doesn't need it he won't say it does. Thank you Ernies for always being up front and honest company. Wish there where many more like you.
