Auto repair service near Burton, OH

Powertrain Automotive was established June 11, 2007. This family owned and operated repair facility is located at 28910 Euclid Avenue in Wickliffe, Ohio. After twenty three years in the same location, retiring owner Steve Combaj sold his repair facility known as Universal Mechanic to lead technician David Kozlowski. It was then that the name was changed and Powertrain Automotive was born. David is an ASE Certified Technician with over twenty years experience in the mechanical repair field. It took years of planning and a lot of hard work to make this automotive repair facility a reality. Better yet there is a lot more to come! Our biggest goals are turning out a quality repair job as well as customer satisfaction.

I have bought three cars at Carena Motors and am a satisfied customer. The staff are very customer oriented and want to make sure you are satisfied. The prices are good and if you can't find the exact car you want they will find it for you. I plan to go back in the Spring. I am still driving my first car I bought there a 1999 Miata. I also have two Hondas from Carena

Very professional and honest! Price paid was lower than price quoted.....they were able to save me money. Who does that???

Paid $460 some dollars to have my coolant system checked and "fixed". Drove 5 miles down the road only to have antifreeze spewing out all over. Bought more antifreeze and filled and drive my car to another care repair shop. Paid to have the thermostat housing replaced and MORE antifreeze put in. 3 weeks ago Jimyz's agreed to refund the cost of antifreeze and a pressure check. Called 3 times since the only to be told "the check is in the mail". May need an attorney for this one as I am on a fixed income and this whole experience has been a nightmare!

by Kevin 12/15/2011 Bad Attitude, Poor Service, and they almost killed me. 1. Bought 4 new tires. Not only did they put the wrong tires on, they tightened the lug nuts bolts too tight and 3 for the 5 snapped off the front right before I discovered the problem after just getting off the highway at speeds of 65 mph. They did repair the lug nuts bolts, but claims it was not their fault, that "someone else tightened them". No one had touched the tires after their work. 2. Bought another set of tires and had a front end alignment. Upon returning and complaining about the front end pulling to the left this taking one of their "tech" with me on a road test to show them what it was doing, they claimed it was "to the specks of the Chevy. One the next visit a week later. the "tech" claimed it was do to the crown in the road and not their work. It would pull to the left even when the road slanted higher to the left, not to mention he passed huge amount of gas in my truck , as a F--- You, before handing me my keys back to drive away. It still pulled to the left. I had to take it to the dealer to get it alined. When speaking to the owner, he claims their work is fine and that we should not do any more business. I said "Happy NOT to do business with a shop that I have had nothing but problems with".

This guy Bruce the owner is a scam artist I took my car there to be repaired because it wasn’t running right he charge me 400 Dollars to repair rebuild the carburetor apparently that wasn’t it when he told me my car was running fine I came and it wouldn’t start we went back-and-forth with this for a couple weeks the same thing he would not return my money at all and the last time I pick my car up and brought it home it will not start as of To this day He will not refund my money or anything mechanics was really nice it’s a parent he don’t care about his customers nor his staff My car is in the garage and won’t start

Bubba’s is a SCAM and they prey upon vulnerable seniors and women. My 67 year old mother took her car for diagnostic tests and to have an evaluation. They provided NO paperwork but told her that the problem was the catalytic converter. She paid $450+ to have it repaired. As soon as she drove off, there was a terrible sound and horrible fumes that were not previously present. She immediately returned the vehicle and they told her that she had to pay $800-$1000 to repair an issue with her rear end that was not an issue during her initial assessment. The new problem that occurred is parallel to the recent repair and was no coincidence according to multiple mechanics. They directed her to not even drive on the highway which she had done for YEARS prior to bringing her vehicle to them. When I called on her behalf, I was given the run around and after catching them in numerous, obviously misleading statements, I was forced to pursue other avenues. The only solution the manager James offered was for me to get proof from another dealership that they were the direct cause. This is ludicrous. I plan to pursue this unethical, illegal, conduct to the fullest extent of the law! BEWARE of this place and take your vehicle elsewhere! Please contact The Ohio Attorney General, City of Bedford Department of Commerce, Better Business Bureau, and every investigative reporter and social media outlet if you have had a similar experience. I certainly plan too. At minimum, they should’ve issued a refund. They also did not return her original parts. Enough is enough! This is SAD and beyond unacceptable. SHAME ON YOU BUBBA’S!!!!!!!!

Wonderful shop! Great people! Reasonable prices! Excellent work!
