Ernie's Automotive Service Inc

Probably the only honest mechanic in Columbus. I had a severe oil leak in my car after an oil change at a local quick oil change shop. The manager of the oil change place claimed that my car was old and that it wasn’t their fault. I initially took my car to a different shop for a diagnostic, and that shop claimed the oil cooler was broken, and quoted me $3700 to fix it. I was floored by this, because the online quote from the same shop was $500-650. After they refused to budge, I found Ernie’s who gave me a far more reasonable quote for the same repair. I had my car towed there, and got a call from Ernie’s almost immediately. Imagine my surprise when Ernie’s said that whoever had changed my oil had left the o ring off, and that’s why it was leaking oil. The first shop had missed this obvious issue, and proceeded to quote me an exorbitant amount for a repair my car didn’t need. Ernie’s fixed it and I picked my car up the same day. I have had no other problems. Total repair was $16. Unfortunately for Ernie’s they now have a customer for life. :) Save your time and come here first.

Chris was honest and politely up front with me about my car situation. Ernie's Automotive sought to fix the problem the least expensively way first.

Had to edit my review. I took my car to have an issue resolved. Ran fine but the same issue popped up a couple months later. Bummer. They did not fix the problem obviously.

This place is very trustworthy and efficient! Nate was great with fixing my car and the service was very fast. My go-to mechanic from now on!
