Truly appreciate for replacing my battery


Nov 16, 2024

I will never go to a different mechanic. Not only did Gene do excellent work, he was very straight forward, and he saved me thousands over what the dealership wanted to charge. Not to mention the historic building his business is in is incredibly cool

Great service garage. Always only installing parts and doing the jobs that are needed. Excellent honest business and an asset to the neighborhood


Nov 07, 2024

Super helpful local shop and very friendly owner! They did a pretty significant repair for a very fair price and got my car back to me quickly. Definitely will be back for future needs.


Aug 07, 2024

Give them your patience and your vehicle and you.wont be dissapointed. Went in for what would usually be a "buy a new car" repair and they fixed it for a very fair price.


Jun 07, 2024

Great mechanic. Very knowledgeable. Would recommend


Apr 07, 2024

Great, honest, hard working and knowledgeable mechanic. I have been going for years, and wouldn't recommend anywhere else. Fair pricing too.


Mar 07, 2024

Friendly, helpful, and affordable. I will go back when I need service!


Mar 07, 2024

They got me right in on a Saturday to fix my water pump so I can get to work. They fixed it in 3 hours. I couldn't find anywhere else to go and they got me back on the road!


Dec 07, 2023

Best mechanic I've ever been to


Dec 07, 2023

I would like to say thank you Mark at Gene Marathons you were amazing at fixing up my car the price was good the work was done in a amount of time that u said .and I will be telling everyone that I know to come to you trust me


Dec 07, 2023

Excellent price. They really care about fixing the problem and being transparent with the customer.


Dec 07, 2023

Got me in right away because of a broken tail light. They were very kind! I'm new to the Cleveland area, and I will definitely go back if I have any other car troubles!


Dec 07, 2023

It is true what people are saying in other reviews. Mark is the best mechanic you will find. He knows more than any 5 mechanics and is honest, fair and unassuming.


Dec 07, 2023

Mark is a kind, honest, and reliable mechanic. He gave me a big discount when I brought my car over to fix its catalytic converter after hearing the story (the previous mechanic overcharged and did a shoddy job) and even offered to give me a ride back while it was getting fixed! He is the best car mechanic I’ve met. If you’re deciding between this shop or other shops in the area, hands down choose this one.


Dec 07, 2023

Mark is the most honest and reasonably priced mechanic I have ever been to. When I brought my car in, he listed all of the repairs in order of importance and cost and helped me understand what was a priority for safety and overall longevity of my car. My car is now running like new and I couldn’t be happier with my experience!


Dec 07, 2023

Speedy and fairly priced service! Staff were helpful and friendly.


Dec 07, 2022

Been bringing my cars here for about 10 years now. Mark’s a car guru. sometimes depending on what your fix is, you’ll have your car back the same day.


Dec 07, 2022

Gene was very helpful, accommodating me last minute


Dec 07, 2022

Great place, really friendly and helpful


Dec 07, 2022

I would reccomend this place without a second thought! The lead mechanic is so experienced and friendly. He talks to the point and he explains the matters in a clear manner which is a good thing. The first time I visited here, it was winter and I am new to snow covered roads and the lead Mechanic (I believe his name is Mark, please forgive me if I am wrong 🙂) even gave me great tips and a kind of crash course on how to drive on snow and how to get practice on snow! As long as I live in Cleveland Heights, he will be my primary mechanic! Edit: Availing their services for 3 years now and it's getting better!

Mark is a magician


Dec 07, 2022

Mark is truly and clearly the best mechanic that you will ever work with. He is straightforward, reliable, and honest to the core. He has performed miracles on my car and gone above and beyond every time I have worked with him. He does not overcharge (in the slightest) and wants to only fix what needs to be fixed. When I move away from Cleveland, I will have to have my car shipped to him!


Dec 07, 2022

Nice people; good work; reasonable price And this building is so esthetic!


Dec 07, 2021

Amazing service! He went out of his way to secure the unique part that my car needed and the price was still very affordable.


Dec 07, 2021

I was referred to this mechanic by a friend. While the building is unorthodox, the work was great. After getting a second opinion here I saved $1,600. Conrad did not have the part for my vehicle and he had it in stock and installed it the same day. I have found my new mechanic.


Dec 07, 2021

I've taken several of my cars to Gene's over the years and I've always walked away satisfied and feeling like I was treated extremely fairly, all while their prices beat every other shop in the area!


Dec 07, 2021

Came in with battery issues. Gene was very upfront that it was a simple case of just tightening the bolts on top. He didn't charge me at all. I appreciate this type of honesty. Would recommend him to someone else, as he was also recommended to me for his reliability and honesty.


Dec 07, 2021

Had my truck for a month, just terrible service and professionalism I wouldn’t advise this place to anyone


Dec 07, 2021

The battery in my vehicle was virtually dead and I was unable to jump it. One of the mechanics literally drove to where I lived (I'm about 2 blocks away so it was convenient), jumped it, took it to the garage and they installed a new battery for me. Truly grateful to this place 🙏🏾
