There’s a huge appeal to buying a used car from a private party seller. Bypass the dealership, the hidden fees, the markups, the hassle, and save yourself some money in the process. But what’s the risk? Have you found a deal or a dud?

Don’t you hate it when potholes sneak up on you? There is a lot of money being spent on vehicle damage due to potholes. Do you know what parts of your car could receive the most damage?

Manual transmissions require far less maintenance than automatics. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need a fluid check from time to time. Here’s what you should know about checking and adding fluid to your manual transmission, from Westerville Automotive in Westerville, OH.

I brought my 1999 Mazda Miata to Westerville Automotive Uptown for a brake job. Brad, Chris and the team did a great job at a fair price. While they we inspecting my brakes, they noticed dry rot on my tires (the tread was still good because I don't drive it much). They replaced my tires and saved me from a possible disaster in the future! I highly recommend Westerville Automotive Uptown for all your auto repair needs!!

By now, the numbers are clear; seat belts save lives. But just wearing one isn’t enough - it needs to be working properly to actually keep you safe. Here’s what you need to know about the seat belts in your car, truck, or SUV, from Westerville Automotive in Westerville, OH.

Bad Radiator Image

Since the first automobiles, there have been radiators. Every liquid-cooled engine on the road has, and has always needed, a radiator; without it, the engine would overheat in no time, causing catastrophic engine failure. While the efficiency of radiators, the materials they’re made out of, and the shape and size of them have changed over time, radiators haven’t actually changed much over the last century or so. At Westerville Automotive we know that even though radiators generally last a long time, they do occasionally fail. When your radiator is malfunctioning you can trust our technicians to repair yours and get you back on the road. 

If you drive a Mercedes, Porsche, Subaru, BMW, Jaguar, or other performance and luxury vehicle, you’re a person who appreciates the value of quality. At Westerville Automotive, we share that appreciation - that’s why we specialize in quality cars and take pride in quality work.

My buddy boots had told me about the guys over at Westerville Automotive. I bought my wife a 2007 Ford Explorer. I took it over to them and they did a full blown tune up and then some. They are really great people to work with. I can't recommend them enough. AWESOME
