New to the Port Clinton area. After dropping the car off I was taken back to my residence which I wasn't expecting and had prepared to walk. The service was completed in a timely fashion, and the car was then returned to my home. Costumer service alone was worth the 5 stars. Will definitely be using their services again.

In 1949, in the small, quaint, local community of Port Clinton, Ohio, on the coast of Lake Erie, fresh out of the Naval Air Corp and World War II, Jack Smith was faced with going into the insurance business or opening a mobile gas station. He chose the latter of the two, beginning what is now Port Clinton Auto Repair.
They identified the problem quickly and fixed it right away. Our trip could begin the next day as planned, with a safe vehicle and a wife's peace of mind. I would highly recommend Port Clinton Auto Repair. They were professional, got me in right away, and fixed my exhaust issue reasonably and quickly.
Your vehicle's alternator serves a dual purpose: it supplies power to components while the engine is running, and it charges the battery when the engine is off. If your dashboard battery light comes on, or if you hear squealing or often need to jump your battery, the likely solution is an alternator repair or replacement.
Your vehicle's air conditioning is a function of both comfort and safety, cooling you down in hot weather and clearing the windows on cold, wet days. The system works hard all year round, and only the most capable hands will secure its long-range integrity. If you're "losing your cool" behind the wheel, it's probably time for auto A/C repairs.
For all the miles you drive around Ottawa County, no doubt you know your car or truck very well- well enough to recognize when something's not quite right. From there it's time for auto diagnostics to pinpoint the cause of the problem, and only the highest levels of knowledge and experience will determine the most effective solution.

They were able to fit my service in with very minimal notice, adapting there business needs to accommodate my schedule and my needs for brakes on my truck. Everyone was super friendly and professional keeping me updated and even offering me a ride home if I could not find one. I Would highly recommend their business to others, it is nice to see their personal pride in their business and it reflects on the service they provided.

Lisa and Kim took care of all our Jeep needs. Our family bought a third car for our 18 year old son a 2006 Jeep Larado that had been only driven on the island. Turns out this car had more problems than we knew about it. Kim provided excellent service with-all of the jeep repairs. They went out of their way to meet me at various places when future problems arose with this car. They are great!!! They went above and beyond their means to provide excellent service for our third family car
. Sincerely Laura and Jim Coviello

My check engine light came on and of course it was not covered under the warranty at the dealership. Kim and his crew took the time to properly diagnose my vehicle and saved me almost $1000 on repairs compared to the dealership “computer” quote.
If I could give them 10 stars I would!

Brought in my 88 caprice hearse after I noticed that the exhaust was getting a little loud. They identified the issue and had a new muffler on same day. A great staff as well!

Couldn't ask for better! Friendly, timely, professional, and affordable. Great experience having 4 tires installed, 4-wheel alignment, and full inspection. I waited while the car was serviced and brought back to the bay to inspect the work that was done. My service tech was Jonathon and he did an awesome job. He even spotted a missing piece, luckily nothing that would leave me stranded, and put on a replacement for me. Kim and Lisa were great to chat with and really love their business and their employees. I will tell everyone I can about how great of a job Port Clinton Auto Repair did on my 2010
