Had to have an engine replaced, and even though that wasn't fun, they've been great to work with. They kept me informed every step thru the replacement and have followed up since completing the work. Very happy with their service, feel good knowing they'll back up their work.

Last summer my car had issues with the transmission as well as with the AC. At the time my wife had the car in Columbus for work and she was stuck with it in poor condition while I was 5 hours away in Buffalo. Needless to say, that is a recipe for a massive headache.

Luckily after reading several reviews, I made one of the best decisions of my adult life and messaged Campus Auto. To simply look at the car at other dealers was around $75-100 and at Luke's, I was quoted around $135. Campus Auto was very responsive on Yelp and quoted me around $50 if I remember correctly.

Campus Auto was transparent and honest. The mechanic who helped me was very knowledgeable and didn't try to upsell me or pressure me into making any decisions. It's great to know there is a reliable garage so close to Ohio State.

I had been to Campus Auto Service in the past and found them to be honest and forthcoming, So when I took my car to another auto service center and was told that the car needed $5,500 worth of work because there were multiple leaks in the engine. Before junking it we decided to take it to Campus Auto for a second opinion, they said the car needed a new head gasket and they quoted us $2800. Because of them we were able to sell it and reduce our loses. I totally trust them to tell me the truth. Thank you.

I had a weird rattling noise going on with my truck and brought it in to get a diagnostics run on it. They worked on it all day, and eventually couldn't find out what was wrong with it, and they determined it wouldn't cause any problems and double checked everything and didn't charge me a dime! Very helpful staff and very accommodating with my work schedule as well.

Everything you want in an Auto repair shop. Honesty, good communication, exceptional knowledge, and fair prices. They found a refrigerant leak in my AC compressor and replaced it. Andy has experience with hybrid vehicles. 2009 Prius.

Had a brake light failure. Andy diagnosed as a broken wire behind the brake pedal. Very tight space and hard to reach, but he was able to replace the wire and charged me less than the time it took. Extremely satisfied. Campus auto receives my highest recommendation.

I bring all my vehicles here. New and old. Campus auto always has the best price. For example today on my newer truck, the wiper line was broken. And of course it is raining and due for snow. So was worried about getting it fixed in a timely manner. Came in this morning after calling Andy and he said bring on in and I'll take a look. He looks at it with no wait and just starts working on it. He knew what the issue was and got it started. We needed a part but he said maybe 2 hours until he could get it. So now I'm back 2 hours later, Andy has the part and after a short 15 minutes I&apos

I came here because the reviews were very positive, but after my experience I have to think the owners are paying to advertise the good reviews and hide the bad. I took my car here for an estimate on front and rear brakes and rotors. They quoted me $800 dollars. When I called another shop that said anything over $500 is a rip-off, I decided to get my car back. They tried charging me a $40 diagnostic fee just to get my keys back. Stay Away!

Driving my daughter’s car from DC to Denver. Outside of Columbus all the lights started flashing. Went to Campus Auto shortly after they opened. On hearing my problem and my story the gentleman dropped what he was doing and checked out the car. Turned out to be a loose battery connection and he had me on my way in about 10 minutes. It’s good to meet and get help from kind, honest people.

Honest service and great work.

I was looking to get my car service and was glad that Yelp directed me to Campus Auto. I had a couple of issues with my SUV that they were able to find and properly repair. I am pleased with the work they have done and will now be a loyal customer due to the great service they provide. Thanks!

This is my #1 shop in town for anything on my vehicle. They are HONEST! They have good dependable work and I can rely on them anytime something happens to my vehicle. Great customer service and always make me feel like I am the only one while I am in there. Not to mention they will beat any of those prices out there I guarantee. I called so many places for price checks every time and they are always the cheapest. Will never go anywhere else unless I move.

It is a bit weird writing a review on a mechanic since I am usually using Yelp to find my next lunch but Andy has earned it. He is an extremely honest, genuine, and kind individual who will give you the high level of service you deserve.

I have been going to Andy for three years and every time I have gone to him he has given me a fair quote (often below what others quote) and has always finished the job on-time and within budget. If you ask him for something or desire more of an explanation he will take the time to meet your needs.

Best mechanic in the universe as far as I'm concerned. Been here 4 times, once for tire patching, once for tire replacement, once for engine issues and another time for engine issues with my mom's car when it died after she came out to Columbus to visit. Prices are very reasonable and always the same or even less than the estimates they give before starting service.
They managed to fix my mom's car in a day for an incredibly low price, and she managed to make it back to Maryland without missing any work.
My tire patching only cost $30 and the price of my engine inspection was cut

I dread going to the mechanic. What's that George Costanza quote? "Well of course they're trying to screw you! What do you think? That's what they do. They can make up anything; nobody knows! 'Why, well you need a new Johnson rod in here.' Oh, a Johnson rod. Yeah, well better put one of those on!" I'm a consumer with so little information I can't make an informed decision, and so much car maintenance is expensive.

Thankfully, Andy and the staff seem really fair about what they regard as a necessary expense. Our Toyota Corolla '01 had some brake

My problem was a passenger-side window that would roll down, but would not roll back up. As I later found out, in these situations it's either the regular (motor) or a switch that stops working. I live near campus and my car stays parked in an open lot, so it wasn't particularly safe and I was naturally quite worried. The first mechanic I took it to said that he would have to order a new regulator, and that it would come in the next day. I went to Campus Auto for a second opinion. They were friendly, professional, and encouraged me to ask questions. I dropped my car off and walked to

My husband and I were in the middle of a cross-country move when our Honda CRV broke down. We called Andy because of the great reviews on Google and we are so glad we did! The tow truck ran late so we weren't able to get into Andy's shop until 5:30pm (he closed at 6pm that day). Nevertheless, Andy threw the car up, took a look and gave us a VERY fair estimate for a new A/C compressor, serpentine belt, power steering repair, and new brakes on the front. We had to stay overnight and Andy was even kind enough to drop us at our hotel on his way home. I say this not because it's a service

I came in for an oil change and to check up on my breaks & "low coolant" light after a trip. I always dread going to auto service/mechanic places because I feel like I am being sold something or misled.

Campus Auto is not going to provide you top notch aesthetics, but the people here were more than friendly, honest, and I didn't once feel like I was being scared into buying a service.

Oil change, new filter, and coolant topped off. All good to go, and with a spectacular warranty on the services rendered. Stop in and check this place out for yourself. I am glad to support a

I was stranded in Columbus yesterday (FRIDAY) and all of the other shops in the area wanted $1000+ & wouldn't touch my car til Monday. Campus Auto Services not only completed the job on a Friday to get me back home, but did it for less than 1/2 the price of others, at $396. They seriously saved my butt yesterday. Very honest, caring, and reliable & definitely my #1 choice of auto service in Columbus!

Quoting another reviewer..."Fair, honest, reliable"

I came in from out of town to visit my daughter at OSU. When I arrived, she told me her car had developed a rattle in the engine compartment and I was worried that something would break on her drive back to her home in Illinois. I drove the car and confirmed that it did not sound "right." I stopped by Campus Auto on a Tuesday afternoon not expecting anyone to be able to check out the car that late in the day. I just wanted to see if I could trust the place enough to have my daughter bring the car back another day when she
