I have taken all of my family vehicles to Mark and Joel at Westerville Auto for over 5 years. The Uptown location is closer to my house, but myself and my family have been treated so well at the Westerville Rd location, so we do not stray! I know enough about cars to be dangerous, but this is why I trust these guys with our vehicles. 1/21/21 I drop off a Civic for an oil change and to likely change the tire pressure monitor which has been on since I purchased the vehicle. If it has to be changed, I was told it could be as much as $180. I give them the go-ahead to proceed and get a call from Joel telling me that the tire pressure was just a few psi too high.....WHAT PLACE DOES THIS!?!?!? They could have easily made an additional $180 off of me that day, but the honesty is what's right.....and that's what keeps me coming back. Thanks, Mark and Joel!

At Westerville Automotive in Westerville, OH, we know how important proper oil changes and diagnostics are to keep your truck on the road, for hundreds of thousands of miles. Here’s what you need to know:

Unless you are confident in your abilities as an automotive mechanic, there is really only one rule when purchasing a flood-damaged vehicle: don’t do it. Unfortunately, sometimes sellers aren’t particularly straight-forward with their used cars. Many will try to hide the fact that it’s been damaged by floodwaters at all or try to convince potential buyers that the car is in fact fine. “It has gone months with no issues” or “technically it is flood-damaged but” are two red flags, and while it isn’t impossible for a flood car to be fine, it’s altogether a good idea to stay away.
