"They did some work on my equinox back in December!! They did an incredible job especially with dealing with all of our (my father’s) random requests and add on’s!! Planning on taking my car back for more help. They were overly kind and so helpful. There is a reason why there is not a single bad review!"

"The 2 gentlemen i talked to yesterday (I belive one was named james) were very helpful. Each test drove my truck to figure out what my issue was. I was traveling into cleves from cleveland and they got me in as soon as I got to their shop. They didnt rush they took their time and were VERY helpful."

"I recently took my 2016 Honda Odyssey that has 182,000 miles on it to be fixed @ Driven Automotive after being told by another mechanic that it was shot and I should try to sell it. After having it worked on by Dennis it is like a new van!! No joke- I could not be happier with the work and the price!"
