$46 for them to read my check engine light, $18 to refill my radiator coolant, $22 for some random cap. I knew and told them the reason the check engine light was on cause i have my own computer to do that. It was an issue with my thermostat not taking proper readings. I don't believe they ever bothered trying to identify the problem within the thermostat, rather they just decided to replace the entire thing. I had the same issue fixed about a year ago for 1/3rd of the price somewhere else, because they fixed the thermostat rather than replace it.

Last night I decided to grill out, so I stopped at Newman's Marathon and picked up propane. Newman's is the service station of my childhood sans the rack of red, white, and blue foil-wrapped tires and the table of old guys smoking and gossiping in the waiting area. Gas prices are in line with the discount box stores. Scott the owner is always there and everyone is friendly, helpful and neatly dressed. This time of year, The corn cart is out, 12 ears for $6. And it's the best! (Yeah, got some of that, too!) They also do excellent mechanic work. Best of all, the money I spend there

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
My first choice to stop for gas, I've always had friendly and helpful service here. They still offer a full service pump and free air for your tires which you don't see many other places. I also always go here to fill up my propane tank. Awesome gas station!

I took my vehicle here after being recommended it was a great business. They checked out my car, explained in detail what needed done, and gave me a quote. I agreed and they ordered the necessary parts. I later get a call saying the price was inaccurate, I held my breathe nervously, but they actually were knocking the cost down! They were given the wrong quote on the part and wanted me to be aware. I was very pleasantly surprised and thanked them for their honesty and service! I feel like this is an extremely trustworthy business that really looks out for their customers and community.

Newman's Marathon is the most outstanding gas & automotive service station in not only Bowling Green, OH, but the greater Wood County area as well. Staffed by a dedicated group of mechanics, Newman's offers expert repairs at reasonable prices, gasoline that's frequently cheaper than its competitors, and a host of amenities, such as a full-service pump & the complimentary use of an air compressor to fill up your tires, for customers convenience if they so choose. Truly a service station dedicated to serving your automotive needs & not a glorified convenience store that knows more about candy bars

This is a great gas station. They have gas. What more could you ask for. Staff are nice and they also have a mechanic area where you can take your car if it needs to be fixed.

Had a muffler problem on my 2006 Toyota Corolla. Took it in. They could have easily told me to replace the whole exhaust system and I would have done it. Instead they were honest with me about what makes more sense and recommended the less expensive patch (~$100 vs. ~$500). I then had some sounds that were coming out after the repair. Took it back in, turns out the hitch I had on was rubbing a bit after the metal heated and expanded. They took me seriously when I told them about the noise, and were willing to drive around with me until they heard it too. They fixed the problem with the hitch, no

Would recommend. They seem honest and thorough. Kind of a cool, old style service station with a friendly staff.

I've had more than one different issue fixed here, and each time they have given me a good price and got the work done quickly. The one time they didn't quite tighten something enough and it came loose due to bumps in the road and started making noise, they fixed it no charge. I have always been wary of bad mechanics, but these guys have been totally trustworthy. Don't get your car fixed anywhere else.

Probably one of the most reliable and most trustworthy auto repair companies in all of NW Ohio. I have been bringing my auto(s) here since 1991 and the entire Newman's Marathon crew always take care of me and do it with a high level of customer service and expertise. And - if there is an issue that the team thinks needs looked at by another repair agent (like the dealer), they will help prepare the info to share with this other repair agent so they can be efficient in assisting with the needs of the client.

Basic service (i.e. Oil Change & Tire Rotation / tire repair / check ups) are

I take my van to Newman's for service because I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I will get good, honest care. The owner is local and has an excellent reputation. Their charges are fair and they communicate with you before going ahead with repairs. I recommend them all the time.

I took my car here when I was having some trouble with the brakes. They let me know that there were some other serious issues with the car and, instead of pressuring me to pay them an arm and a leg to fix it and get my car back on the road, they were up front with me and let me know it probably wasn't worthwhile to fix what was essentially a lost cause. They were really friendly and helpful throughout our interactions and I will definitely seek out their services in the future.
