Oil change service near Centerville, OH

Here is the story, my daughter lives two hours away from me (her DAD) I have been in business for 30 years but have been an auto and Harley Davidson mechanic and body man for 40 years. my daughter has been there when I worked on cars and motorcycles. Custom cars, Harley, race cars and just regular vehicles. I taught her a lot about what I do. She is very smart about a lot of things, but you try your hardest to make her look stupid. Yes her ABS light was on. when she said she pulled the fuse for the ABS you tried to tell her how unsafe it was and what made her think it was a good idea to do that. She tried to explain to you that when you are having trouble with the peddle either getting hard or going to far down on ABS, unplug it or pull the fuse, until you can get the censers fixed it will just be like a regular brake. You know they had regular cars and trucks back in the day, and I and my daughter know how to drive with out ABS.I know you were just trying to make more money, NOT COOL! Also you told her she had a tire out of balance. Now I want to know how you knew that if you did not drive it.? The only why to tell is to drive it to see if there is a shake, or put the wheel on the balancer. Or do you have some new tool I don"t know about.I don't do business that way I have always been honest with my customers and have never tried to sell them things they did not need or want, or make them feel dumb. She came in for a $21.95 oil change and paid 136.00. even with you balancing 4 tires that at most would be $10.00 a tire and one air filter does not come to $139.00 with a $59.00 discount off the labor. She will drive to my shop and I will do all the work on her truck. She will never be back there. If I had more time and money, I would put a shop over in Springfield and do it right. I am very ashamed to know there are still Mechanics out there that treat people the way your shop does.

This is a two-man shop with Scott mainly up front and Sandy mainly in the back. I have found the two to be very honest and straightforward. Given a small independent shop, they perform routine maintenance as well as manage to track down automotive gremlins. And if the gremlins recur, they are very fair about redoing and rectifying. Rates are more than fair. And NO gouging. No free loaners, but will work with Enterprise rental for reasonable price, if necessary. I have been using this shop for several years for cars including: 1995 Saab, 2005 VW Passat GLX, 2012 Volvo XC70 (still under warranty, but little things), 2015 Volvo V60 T6 (also still under warranty, but little things also including intermediate oil change between recommended 10K gratis change at dealer). Though reluctantly, they will work on USA domestic marques with a bit of pleading or coercion. Recommended......Velocitoro
