My experience at Bill's Auto Repair was great! Very good customer service, and the mechanics were thorough and quick.
The people at Bills were very honest and fixed my truck without trying to sell me a bunch of stuff I didn’t need I have been looking for a good mechanic and I feel like I found one thanks guys
Great shop! I was in a bind visiting Cincinnati from Chicago and my AC broke. They found the part, installed within a couple of hours and I was on my way! Quick, efficient, and professional.
Great service and excellent workmanship! The team was professional, honest, and completed the work on time. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend this garage.
When the other shop said I needed a new engine which essentially totaled my car, I took it to Bill‘s for a second opinion. Two days later, Im back on the road with a minor repair. Literally saved me thousands of dollars. At the end of the day, one word, describes Bill’s… trustworthy.
EXTREMELY friendly towing service! They were in no time and was polite and professional. Will be calling again!

Warning about Bill’s Auto Repair & Towing Service I want to share my son’s experience with Bill’s Auto Repair & Towing Service so others know what they may be dealing with. My son was in an automobile accident Friday evening. The police called Bill’s to remove the vehicle from the scene. We have roadside assistance, but I understand that police can require a vehicle to be removed immediately for safety reasons. When Bill’s arrived, the driver said the car was going to their impound lot. My son asked about having it towed elsewhere. He was told that would cost $250 plus mileage, and the driver convinced him it would be cheaper to have the car taken to Bill’s garage, where he was told he could pick it up the next day. What he was not told was that the garage would be closed for the entire weekend. When he was finally able to get the vehicle today, his bill was $328.79, including $25 per day in storage fees while the business was closed. They also initially attempted to charge him an additional $100 in mileage because the tow-truck driver had been pulled away from another job at Kings Toyota and wanted to charge my son for the driver's travel to and from that job. After disputing it, that charge was removed. On top of all of this, they would not accept a credit or debit card. They required payment in cash. My issue isn't that a tow company charged for towing and storage. My issue is how this was handled: my son had just been in an accident, was told taking the vehicle to their garage would be the cheaper option and that he could retrieve it the next day, wasn't told they would be closed all weekend while storage charges accumulated, and then faced an attempted additional $100 mileage charge unrelated to towing his vehicle. I would strongly recommend that anyone dealing with Bill’s Auto Repair & Towing Service get the full towing charge, destination, storage fees, business hours, and payment requirements in writing before allowing them to take your vehicle.
Thank you for sharing your concerns. First and foremost, we are glad your son was not seriously injured in the accident. We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and, more importantly, for the lack of clear communication during an already stressful situation. Your son should have been clearly informed of the towing charges, storage fees, weekend business hours, payment requirements, and exactly when the vehicle would be available for pickup. We understand how being told the vehicle could be retrieved the next day would create frustration when our office was closed for the weekend. The additional mileage charge was reviewed and removed because we agreed that your son should not be responsible for mileage unrelated to transporting his vehicle. While towing and daily storage fees are standard when a vehicle is removed from an accident scene and stored at our facility, those fees should have been thoroughly explained upfront. Our intention was never to take advantage of your son or add further stress to an already difficult experience. We take responsibility for the communication breakdown and are reviewing this situation with our team so future customers receive complete and accurate information before their vehicle is transported. Again, we sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and the frustration this caused. We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly and address any remaining concerns.
Extremely preditory towing service. We were LIED TO MULTIPLE TIMES about what the final price would be, when they would be open, and what we would be charged for! I can't imagine their mechanic services are any different. would NEVER reccomend them to anyone.
Kaya, we take legitimate concerns seriously, but calling a business “predatory” requires more than dissatisfaction with the outcome. Towing charges are based on the services performed, not numbers invented after the fact,and we are happy to review the itemized bill and every conversation associated with your vehicle. As for our mechanical services, criticizing work you have never received is speculation, not experience. We welcome a conversation based on the facts and invite you to contact management directly so we can address any genuine misunderstanding.
The customer service people are friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. They have made valid recommendations, and the online inspection review they forward is very informative. The technicians do excellent work. I'm very satisfied with the service I have received at Bill's.
Thank You Maxwell, we love how the inspections with pictures help with the transparency of what's needed . Thank you for your business.
