Chris was honest and politely up front with me about my car situation. Ernie's Automotive sought to fix the problem the least expensively way first.

Went there for AC. Work. They got my AC working at a time. Ly manner, it was exactly what they said it was going to be. They did to find another issue. Presenting me with options for that will definitely be returning to use them again.

I m Lana I recently had my van towed by Ernies they arrive to my home Iin. Less than 20 mins .I was quoted a fair rate and I knew my van was in good hands

Probably the only honest mechanic in Columbus. I had a severe oil leak in my car after an oil change at a local quick oil change shop. The manager of the oil change place claimed that my car was old and that it wasn’t their fault. I initially took my car to a different shop for a diagnostic, and that shop claimed the oil cooler was broken, and quoted me $3700 to fix it. I was floored by this, because the online quote from the same shop was $500-650. After they refused to budge, I found Ernie’s who gave me a far more reasonable quote for the same repair. I had my car towed there, and got a call from Ernie’s almost immediately. Imagine my surprise when Ernie’s said that whoever had changed my oil had left the o ring off, and that’s why it was leaking oil. The first shop had missed this obvious issue, and proceeded to quote me an exorbitant amount for a repair my car didn’t need. Ernie’s fixed it and I picked my car up the same day. I have had no other problems. Total repair was $16. Unfortunately for Ernie’s they now have a customer for life. :) Save your time and come here first.

Veteran took my truck here they had it for 5 hours the veterans service was paying for work they never started working complaining bolts stripped but after taking to other mechanic he removed bolts no problem Ernies made diagnostic remarks without service.You claim your shop doesn't recognize my name I have a invoice to prove what I say and as owner you should check in on your shop e main Street

I've been here twice now. The service is great. Both instances I walked out having paid far less than I expected to. Highly reccomend.


Jan 06, 2024

Been dealing with this place for years. Always honest and above board with their dealings and never have had an issue with them. Would be happy to recommend them.

This is the best group of guys in Columbus, hands down 👍🏾💯

Ernie's did some brake work for us. We have had them do our repairs off and on for 20+ years. The longtime owner recently retired and they have a new owner now. We hope they will stay good like the former owners.


Dec 06, 2023

Ernies does a great jog every time.


Dec 06, 2023

Extremely pleased with the work performed. Nate was so professional and friendly. We have used Ernie’s for many years, and definitely will continue with all service and repairs needed in the future.Will definitely spread the word to everyone we talk to about the quality and excellent service Ernie’s offers.


Dec 06, 2023

I had some brake work done and my slave cylinder to the clutch was going bad they did a very good job and Nate was very professional and honest as they have always been at Ernies. I won't go anywhere else for my Vehicle needs! Great shop!! Thank you guys!!

I took my Hummer H3 to Ernie’s to see if he could replace the fuel door that I purchased online after someone destroyed my original one trying to steal it. Ernie said that the fender had to be removed just to replace the fuel door! I knew he didn’t know what he was talking about. I took it to Malcolm’s garage and he replaced it in less than 20 min, and the fender didn’t have to be removed. Be careful where you take your car, because all mechanics aren’t created equal!!!


Dec 06, 2023

Professional, efficient, timely and thorough. I recommend them for all your car care needs. Nate is a consummate professional with a very laid back easy going demeanor. Kudos


Dec 06, 2023

They treated me a real nice and took real good care of my van and took really good care of my van excellent job


Dec 06, 2023

Very knowledgeable and friendly with flexible service times which makes emergency issues as easy as dropping it off to get in line for next available inspections. Getting back my vehicles fixed to spec is assuring and speaks to the quality services.


Dec 06, 2023

Had my car towed to Ernie's on 12/4/23 because it was leaking coolant due to a bad thermostat. They had it fixed and ready to go in the early afternoon on 12/5/23. The overall cost of the repairs was extremely reasonable. I was very surprised at how fast and cheap they fixed it, especially considering I didn't have an appointment.


Dec 06, 2023

Outstanding service on my 2007 Honda CRV. Easy to schedule the work. Efficient and professional. Looking forward to them fixing any problem I have in the future!
