Cost for the service was reasonable. I was traveling thru town and needed a quick tranny filter change. Dropped car off at 8:30am, told them I needed it back early afternoon. When I called them at 4:00 to follow up was told they were still waiting on the filter so I told them there was one in the trunk and then they started the work. I arrived at 5:30 and still had to wait till 6 till they finished. I did not feel particularly positive about the experience, but the cost as I said before was reasonable. So I'm happy about not needing to return there again since I don't live in the area.

Horrible service, backyard mechanics at their "finest". Will never visit this place again. Had exhaust work done to my car and instead of putting the actual pipe in they connected 10 different 2 inch pipes. I had to take my car somewhere else after two weeks because the exhaust was leaking again and it cost me additional money because of all of the exhaust tape. Great work Not...

Very kind and straightforward gentlemen. Helped me to diagnose the problem with my car and gave me authentic advice how to actually fix my problem elsewhere, instead of just trying to make money by keeping my business there. Definitely will be returning here in the future for any mechanical problem! Great shop and great people.

Great experience. My transmission went out on me 30 miles north of town. Absher found an inexpensive flatbed tow for me and they were there quick. The estimates I received around town for a transmission rebuild were 40% higher than Absher's quote. No brainer there - they did an excellent job with a quick turnaround. That was over a year ago and my SUV still shifts smooth as new.

Absher Automotive did an outstanding job replacing my brakes. From getting my car in all they way to making sure everything was done right. This is the place to go if you need trusted mechanics to do a good and thorough job.

I went around and priced out seven different auto shops, these guys were the best price. We had an issue with my brakes, they were manufactured wrong no fault of the shops. They replaced them completely for free. They are honest. I would recommend this shop, and that is rare for me to do that

Went for break work on my suburban. Reasonable price for the job I needed done. Over the phone I was told an oil CHANGE would be $25 with my services. I allowed them to do it. The next day I had NO oil in my truck. The manager said they never dropped the oil because of my oil plug (which is differentthen a normal plug but fine), but he never called me about it. I would have had them just put a new plug on it. Then they still charged me for the "oil change." The manager said they just put a new filter on it and topped it off. So, he thought it was okay to have a customer think they got an oil change when they didn't. No comunication with me. This is speculation: I don't think they were honest about what happened. I think they forgot to put oil in the truck, and then made excuses saying it was leaking already when I was not loosing oil profusely before. Update: After driving my truck 200 miles I have had no noticable oil loss. There is no way I lost 5qts in 40 miles that day. This shop didn't put oil in my truck and lied about it.

Absolutely the best service I've received at an automotive shop. They are fair and tell you exactly what us needed to get your car back on the road safely. Great bunch of guys working there. Thanks so much Tim, Ron and the mechanics that slaved over my daughters car.

I love this garage! Tim the owner is a pleasure to deal with. They do good work in a timely fashion. My only complaint is poor communication caused them to once replace headlight bulbs that I had already replaced and I had to pay for them again and it only temporarily fixed the problem. That's only one bad experience in probably 8 visits though.

Absher has taken good care of me and my car. Their quotes have been significantly less than all the other shops I've called.... I can't thank them enough for their honesty and kindness

I had a great experience here with my rear windshield replacement and repair of the glass hatch release button that was not working. I ended up saving money for both jobs and they explained things well.

I had to bring my car in, due to it not running properly and in limp mode. I dropped it off around 10am, not expecting it to be done same day, 5p comes & they call saying its ready to go. Super Quick, Great pricing too. Will definitely be taking my car there for all future needs.

I have a review of Absher Automotive that is quite negative. My mother and I share a vehicle, we are both older and disabled. We don't have a lot of money between us, and we was trusting that they were not going to cheat us. Our car was overheating with every drive. We couldn't get to doctor appointments, stores, or anywhere. We took our vehicle to Absher in mid July. They looked it over in a day, called me and said they had a list of all the problems that would fix the overheating and keep it up to date. The total was a bit over 1,700. My mother and I split the cost, and told them to repair it. They had it completed in about two days, and we were very hopeful and excited to have our car back. My mom and son went to the shop to pick it up. The man working, I believe it was Tim, told my mother that this car was now in great shape and we wouldn't have any problems with it, that it had a lot of years left. She asked about the radiator and he said there would be no more problems with overheating. The car came home. I called Tim and asked again about the overheating and safety of the car, as I am 43 with severe arthritis and I had to drive a 2 hour trip to Mansfield Ohio the weekend after it was 'repaired'. He said I would be safe, and would have no problems. I was alone, and I drove to Mansfield. It did good for most of the trip, but when I stopped at my motel in Mansfield to check in, then left to do my business, it began to overheat. I had the absolute worst time trying to get back and forth as I needed too. It wouldn't hold water or antifreeze for enough time for me to do anything. I had to get this broken car home, I didn't know what to do. I live in Dayton, this is a 2 hour drive. So I tried to drive down the highway a bit, add more water and go a bit farther. It was horrible, I was pulling to the side of the highway alone, scared, and unsure. I finally had to flag down a policeman that was driving on the highway and he helped me leave the car on the road, and took me to a close gas station. I called my mom, and we called Allstate, our insurance, we were given a referral for a tow truck. The tow truck came around 2 hours later, took me and the car back to Dayton, and it costs us $600 out of pocket. I took the car back to Absher the next day, they looked at it, and told us it needed a water pump. They never mentioned that the first time. it was looked at. They quoted me nearly another 4,000. We have had to give up on our vehicle. We maxed our credit cards to fix this situation, we still owe $3000 on our car. So we have nothing now. I wish I had never, ever trusted Abshers with my car. I feel like I just handed them almost 2000 for absolutely nothing. It put us in a huge hole that we can't get out of. I feel like they charged us for basic maintenance without fixing the concern. I am just beyond frustrated to be in this situation. I highly doubt they would have let their wives drive alone 2 hours away in a car that wasn't safe. I am mostly mad because they pretty much promised that it was good to go. Just be careful. I had to say something publicly, I'm just so upset. I can't set up doctor appointments or anything at this point. I am sure I am just wasting my time, but I can't let this go. I will be writing the BBB next.

They inspected my s-10 truck and gave me an honest estimate and then did all the repairs. I'm very satisfied.

If this weren't for the review alone, I wouldn't even give it a one star. JUST DO NOT COME HERE. It is the worst location to take your automobile in for repairs. The fact that there are more positive reviews does not imply that the auto repair is of sufficient quality for the other customers who read the evaluations and attempt to seek assistance for their vehicles. When your car still has problems, they will want to send someone to check it out or feel it when the car is truly producing noise. They will charge you for the problem while guaranteeing that it is the only item that has to be fixed. What happens if your car starts to make noise the moment you drive up to their location, after they've closed, on the weekend, or even before? Is there a way to have the individual sit in your car and listen to the noise? What happens if the noise stops at the same moment? (And in the end, they refuse to watch videos, listen to the audio in the video, or even just glance at it) Despite all of this, they still charged you the first time, ensuring that the issue was resolved. And even if you were fortunate enough to demonstrate to the mechanic what the issue was, where the noise was coming from, or what the problem was, they will still demand payment for some imaginary other problem. How is that any different from the identical problem that arose when you first came in for assistance?
