Been there 3x to get work done and it s the only shop in or around Athens county I feel I can trust. Given they do have a waiting list at times. That s due to return clients I assume that won t go anywhere else. They will fix only what is needed and necessary to make your car safe and reliable. I thought my transmission was going bad today and it was just a bad line; they fixed it within 2 hours for way cheaper than expected.(not everyone s situation is the same). Previously they ve fixed front ends on vehicles and found that loud noises from my vehicle were just minor, and nothing to worry about. I could go on forever about this place. If you want what s best for your vehicle and pocket though, go to Clowes Auto.

I have to be honest here. I called in for a price quote for transmission cooler lines and I had to order the part from ford OEM, no aftermarket part would do. I informed the lady I spoke with and she replied by saying the mechanic usually doesn't let you bring, your own parts. So he quoted me at 360 plus tax, just for labor. Now I know for a fact with parts and labor it's a 200 to 240 job max. Maybe it's because I don't know the mechanic and he doesn't know me. It's just frustrating sometimes when all you're looking for is an honest person. At the end of the day, take it or leave it. I'm just going to leave it.

Our grandson is a student at Ohio University and he was having issues with his car. We are over 200 miles away and the only help that we could provide was to locate a reliable shop. Clowes' was able to get his car in within a week and what we had thought was going to cost over $200 was a simple fix that was less than $50. This shop is honest and reliable!

I don't ever write reviews but after my experience with Clowes I was compelled to write one. They changed a motor out on my 2009 Sienna. They were absolute professionals at their job. On time, reasonable, no surprises. They answered all my questions and even did some extra work at a very fair price. If you are anywhere close to their location I would suggest going to them. I drove the van back to Arizona without a hitch. Thank you Clowes.

My husband and I have brought our vehicles to clowes auto on 3 different occasions. We make an appointment, take vehicle in and usually before we get home they have called with an estimate. They are very fast and reasonably priced. We will continue o use them.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Auto A/C recharge, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuningServices: Steering & suspension repair, Auto A/C recharge, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning

Clowes totally saved my bacon. I was arriving from Columbus, and as I pulled onto State Street, my oil light came on. I stopped at Speedway and saw the underside of my car was covered in oil.I walked across the street to Clowes, and they were able to look at my car immediately. They determined my oil line had a hole in it, and they were able to do a quick repair so I could make it back home.They had me back on the road 45 minutes and only wanted to charge me $20. I tipped them generously for fixing my car.Thank you so much!

The way it used to be! Always top-notch service, honest, fair price, and highly-skilled. I didn't think this level of all-around auto expertise still existed. I have a finicky classic car and wouldn't go anywhere else. This is how a successful business becomes a success. Heavily booked - and worth the wait 100%Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Over the years I have had several vehicles here for various repairs. They do what is necessary - but refrain from doing extraneous services which could needlessly jack up the bill. They are fair, honest and stand by their work. I highly recommend Clowes. They have never steered me wrong! = (but they are so good, they are usually booked solid)Services: Engine repair, Transmission repair, Brakes, Wiper blade installation

I've taken my car here about 5 times in the last two years and they have never disappointed. Incredible prices, very quick, and very friendly. They really care about their customers which isn't something you can say about a lot of auto shops in this town.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Fixed my car so fast I was almost suspicious of the repair quality. A squirrel had chewed my ignition wires and I was expecting a lengthy and expensive repair. However it was fixed the very next day and with a very reasonable price. It's been about two weeks since the repair and the car still runs fine. Definitely coming back here if I have any future car problems in Athens.Services: Electrical repair, Electrical

I drove all the way from Virginia to have Kenny work on my Traverse. He does excellent work and I will continue to bring my vehicles here to have him repair and maintain them. It is really great to have someone you can trust working on your vehicle.

I stopped in the other day with brake issues. They were able to squeeze me in that day. After figuring out that no one had a part they needed they asked if I could leave my car overnight. When Kenny heard that I would be walking home (I live in town) he rode with me back to my house and drove my car back to the shop. The next morning around 9am, my car was fixed and once again Kenny offered to come and pick me up so I would not have to walk in the snow and cold. I doubt that this is something they can aways do but it just shows you that you are dealing with good people. So between the good work, good prices and good people we will be taking our business to them from now on.Service: Brakes

Really FAST, I had an appointment four days ago for installing aftermarket headers and test pipes. They took only about 5 hours to install it for $486. Meanwhile, other shops said its ganna need at least 3 days and another one said 8 hours for a thousand and something!! Not mentioning that I asked them to put new wheels nuts too and they did in that 5 hours period.Thank you guys.

This place was very solid, customer service was great some real standup individuals, I had a lifetime warranty on some parts that I purchased last year that I was able to take back and get replacements, saved me a lot money. Im going to start coming here for all of my vehicle needs. I highly recommend them. Not to mention they got me in and out and I had the rest of my day to run my errands. I wanna say Thanks to the team, greatly appreciate you guys.

In this day and age when you have to take your vehicle to a dealership or a tire shop to get some minor repair these people can do it all, the prices are fair, the work is excellent and there s a good reason that they are now so busy that it s hard to get an appointment, think about it!
