I was visiting yellow Springs for a couple days and heard a weird sound coming from under the hood. Village Auto was able to work me in on short notice for a trip inspection to get back home safely. Very professional folks and can't recommend enough.

I had a great experience here. Took my car in because the brakes started grinding and thankfully the gentleman who worked on my vehicle was able to complete the job that same day. He mentioned he did not want me driving on breaks that were metal to metal. I thought it was very kind that he was looking out for me.Thank you Tyler, you are a very kind person

Had a slow leak from a valve stem went to Village Automotive to see if it could be repaired, it took a day for the supplier to deliver the part, and a few minutes ti replace the trouble making part and we were good to go. The folks there are friendly, professional , and thorough. I highly recommend stopping by if your vehicle needs some attention

This shop is fantastic! I finally found a shop that is trustworthy and professional. I don't switch mechanics easily but they have earned a new customer from me.I ordered a diagnostic for a loud sound coming from the front of my vehicle at high speeds. After bringing the car in, they drove me back to work (in my car) and instantly diagnosed not only the main issue (bad wheel bearing) but also that I might have loose sway bar links based on the other sounds. All this before we got to my workplace 5 mins away. What I appreciated most is that they explained to me WHY that sound was happening and what I could do to diagnose this myself in the future. All without me having to ask!After taking a closer look, they confirmed that diagnosis and fixed it on time and without charging me for the diagnostic. They then showed me the old part and explained how it worked and what went wrong with it. They explained these concepts to me very clearly and again, without me having to ask! My car is running better than it has in months. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a truly professional auto repair experience.Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

I love Tyler and the guys at the shop. Honest working men and great friends. Awesome prices and quick service. Definitely would recommend if you need anything from a tire plugged to a new engine replacement. These guys know it all and can handle it all! 10/10 would recommend

You don't need to go to a dealership. Excellent mechanics. Friendly service.I have taken several different cars to Village over the past few years. Some new. Some over 15 years old. They would always research and give me a good answer on what the cars needed, and the work they did has always held up.

I have all of my regular maintenance done here, and they are always upfront about cost. Their work has always been professional, and in line with fair market pricing. Supporting a locally owned business is always a first choice in my book!

I'm grateful to these folks. After my regular mechanic diagnosed my vehicle with a major repair, I decided to try Village Automotive. They found that the actual issue was relatively minor, and also pointed out a few other things that needed attention if I wanted my box truck to run trouble-free for a while longer. They saved me money and hassle, and they happen to be great people, too. If you're looking for a mechanic to call home, now YOU KNOW where to go. (You're welcome.)

Had a blower motor go out causing no heat on a morning with 0 degree temps. Got me in and part delivered and fixed same day. Gave me a ride back home in the village so I didn't have to wait and picked me up when it was done. Always great service!

HUGE shout out to Village Automotive Service in Yellow Springs!!! I had taken my car to the dealer and was told I needed two tires and probably needed back brakes by the time of my next oil change. I chose to go to Village Automotive and let them know the routine maintenance I needed, what else I was told I needed, as well as my concerns. Turns out all I needed was my routine maintenance! They could have done the extra work, but they contacted me and told me it wasn't necessary at this time. Honesty, integrity, and FANTASTIC service, thank you so much!!!

We have been loyal customers of Village Automotive in Yellow Springs for 15 years! We love them! We've had old and new, Saabs, BMWs and Subarus. We've always received excellent customer service. The folks at Village Auto always tell us the best and cheapest things to do to the older cars and when to cut our losses. They also try to give us options, whenever possible. We always know we can trust Todd & company's advice. My best friend started taking her 2003 Volkswagen Jetta to Village Auto, and she loves them, too! Thanks for the awesome, honest advice & great service! You guys are fantastic!!

I can t overstate how genuine, friendly, and professional the service I received was. They explained everything and were genuinely honest on what was necessary for safety and what could be fixed but wasn t a necessity right now. They answered all my questions and provided quality and timely service. I would recommend to all my friends and family.

In August 2012, my car overheated in Yellow Springs less than a mile away from Village Automotive Service at 1455 Xenia Ave. Village Automotive charged me $100 to do a simple hand pump pressure test to say that the problem could be with my cooling system but would cost $2,100 to properly diagnose and repair. I was then wary of the place, as I figured the repair fee would depend on what was determined to be the problem (there is a cost difference between replacing a gasket and a head cylinder and a repair estimate should reflect that cost difference). I decided to get a second opinion. So Village Automotive billed me $100 for the pressure test in which they had put water in the coolant reservoir and screwed on a hand pump...then squeezed the hand pump. $100 for that? Really? This same pressure test costs $15 at Ralph's Automotive in Vandalia. Village Automotive also annoyingly billed me $7.03 for that water and taxed me on the towing portion of the bill from a third party tow company. My $160.00 bill from Village Automotive was astounding. I had to pay it to get my car. Don't go there. Even if your car breaks down near there!

The only place I take my vehicle to is Village Auto. They are honest and reliable. Let you know pricing and when possible and safe give alternate options to pricey repairs.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

I went in for a transmission fluid change as I thought that was causing issue's I have... Rather than rip me off and do what was not needed he gave me other options of what could be wrong which were quite cheaper... not used to that with auto shops will be taking my car here from now on HONEST AUTO WORK IS HARD TO FIND

I have always had great service here over the last 7 years. I just moved away from YS and am having trouble finding another shop as good as this one, or anywhere close, in the Columbus area. I am tempted at times to drive the hour there for the service.

Paid $500 to get brakes to stop squeaking. Paid $500 to get work done and issue was not resolved. Brought it back and they wanted another $500 to fix the issue that was never resolved in the first place. Terrible service.
