Matt has been working on my cars for 6 years. He is the only person I trust. He is so honest every time. And does a job well done. Highly recommend.

10/10 experience here! I was feeling a lot of anxiety over having to potentially uber or rent a car because of a broken wheel control arm. They went above and beyond to get my car done before I had to work. They also went out and bought the Nissan part they needed to fix my car. If I ever have problems with my car again I know where I am going!

One call auto really helped me out!!! I brought my car to them and they had figured out what was wrong in about an hour and had the job finished the same day. They also worked with me on the bill and made it work for me! I really appreciate the work they did and most importantly they don’t treat you like a customer, it was more like a good friend helping you out! I’ll be back for sure!

I brought my car in for brake work, and Matt and his team were exceptionally open and honest about the work that I needed done, as well as the cost for the work. Additionally, the cost for the work was very fairly priced, and significantly lower than other mechanic shops in the Columbus area. Furthermore, they are very kind and personable people who take time to get to know their customers, which is something I really appreciate. Finally, I have a family member who is currently learning to drive, and they very kindly gave me five traffic cones that they didn't need to help her practice the maneuverability test. I can say with confidence that this is an awesome family business, and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs work done on their car.

Changed my brake pad and calipers for my Lexus RX. The price was better compared to other places, and the owner is very friendly.
