I brought my car in for an inspection and was told an oil change was needed for the car to fix an issue. After not asking for the oil and having it already done I was charged for the expense.
I have the utmost praise and respect for Fogles. The service and treatment I get here is so far beyond any other automotive service I have ever used! Dmitriy (the owner) is incredibly competent and honest, and is very knowledgeable about any make of car. He has always called me promptly with really reasonable estimates, and usually has the car finished before I expect it to be. He has a customer for life with me.
Replaced the starter on my son’s Honda Civic and I can’t say enough about how great my experience was. Fast, fair, friendly and clearly knows what he’s doing.Got the car fixed in less than 24 hours and even gave it a once over and let us know what to keep an eye on.This will be our shop for future repairs on his car and once our warranties are up for our newer vehicles.Highly recommend!!!
Been going there for places.Truly trust to work I get done thereEspecially after being ripped off at other places.
Professional, quality, affordable service.
Always friendly, honest service.
I have been bringing all the cars in my household for about 5 years now. Dmitriy is legitimately the only mechanic I have ever met that Id trust to work on our vehicles! He is thorough and detailed, and up front about costs! Weve brought at least 7 cars from my family alone over the years, plus several friends and neighbors have gone with him as well. I cant say enough good things about his shop and service!(I only took this long to review because I thought I already had.)
I have gone to Dmitriy, the owner, for 5 years now...amazing service...i live near by...he has done tire repairs...wheel alignments...exhaust work...brake work...anything and every thing...you name it he has done it...great work always...very quick...meets his deadlines and is early most often...very trustworthy...
Very Honest Mechanic!!!!!!!!!...I had a problem with my vehicle...told my freind about it...he referred me to this guy...Dmitiry Greenberg...I called him and told him of my issues...after about 20 minutes of talking with him on the phone and describing my symptoms...he stated that it sounds like total engine failure and that i should not have the vehicle towed to his shop but to the dealership...he stated that he had had experience with my vehicle...2011 hyndai sonata ...he knows of a recall on my vehicle and just to have them take care of it as itis possible covered under warranty...sure enough...he was right...now i have a free care rental from the hyundai dealership on morse rd and i will be getting a brand new engine...free of charge to me...this is because of dmitiry...he stood nothing to gain by telling me this but used 20 minutes of his time to help me out of a very bad situation...Very Honest Mechanic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fogle’s Auto Service on 161 is absolutely the best car repair/service provider that I have encountered. I am a proud customer of Fogle’s and Dmitri for four years now. Dmitri has always been fair, reasonable, helpful, and just a genuinely kind person in my every interaction with him. I highly recommend Fogle’s Auto Service. You will be impressed, as I always am. Thank you, Dmitri!
Highly recommend! Excellent service. He went out of his way to help us and saved us money as well. Trustworthy and great at what he does!
Dimitriy has provided service to my familys vehicles now for 12 years. He has been creative and always communicates issues that may or are pending. He has saved us a few thousand dollars over the years by managing the service that is actually required to meet or actual need as opposed to what we ask for.He always details out so anyone can understand so they make informed decisions. His honesty is very refreshing. His overall knowledge is exceptional and allows him to be such a trusted expert in the automotive field. My wife and I highly recommend Fogles to anyone that has an automotive repair need or question.Sincerely,Kurt B.
For years, my Dad has talked about Dmitri and the outstanding, reliable service he provides at Fogles Auto Service. This August, I was able to experience this firsthand. While visiting my family in Columbus, my tire pressure light came on. Unfortunately, it turned out to be more than just a flat tire. Being from the East coast, my metal tire valve caps had corroded on to two of my valve stems. My Dad consulted with Dmitri who offered a can of miracle spray and the directions on how to use it. Upon trying Dmitris suggestion, we promptly broke a valve stem. Oops. (It worked on the other stem!) The AAA tech that came to put on my spare told us that it was going to cost an arm and a leg to replace the valve stem. Great. We called Dmitri. Not only was his price quote a FRACTION of what the dealership would charge, he had it done in one day (time was of the essence because we were heading back to Maryland) and, without being asked, Dmitri replaced all five of my metal valve caps with plastic ones. I appreciate Dmitris honesty, efficiency and overall good business. Wish we had an auto repair service like his out here in Maryland. Thank you, Dmitri!
Took my 02 Camry for major repairs. Cant be more happy about the cost and quality of work. As all the other reviewers mentioned, Dimitri is very honest and upfront. He walked me through the list of repairs and itemized cost before starting the work. There was no sales pitch or scare tactic. He explained the reason for repairs and asked me for the items that I would like to get done. Highly recommended!!
I have had my first experience at Fogle’s as of 10/4/19. My mustang gt had a bad throw out bearing which caused some issues with my clutch. Dimitry was quick to diagnose, and very helpful and knowledgeable. He will go above and beyond to make sure youre car is fixed properly and will be honest with you. As of 10/8/19 the vehicle was fixed and the clutch down right works better than it ever has! He knows his stuff and will explain exactly what is causing the issue and willingly answers any questions. The car has a design flaw causing the Bearing to make noise even when brand new, I brought it back this morning at 8am and by 1pm dimitry had custom fabricated a spring to stop the noise. I was informed why the noise was there and why the spring fixes the noise. I’ve never had a good experience with a mechanic shop until now. Thank you dimirty and Fogle’s. Five star experience
We have been taking our cars to Fogles for several years. Demitry is normally very busy, but he manages to fit us in. He is very familiar with our cars, and only makes suggestions about repairs when he believes they are needed. He uses quality parts, and explains what he is doing before he makes the repairs. He also is very knowledgeable about tires and tire repair/replacement. We recommend him highly.
It is somewhat rare to find auto repair shop that is this good and HONORABLE. Most places make the need for repair seem dire and push to get the job. This place took tome to diagnose the problem with my car [free] and suggest the repair without pressure.They mentioned the problem was not a critical fix and I could do it or wait. I am going ahead with the repair, because of Demetris honesty and integrity. Fogles has worked on my car for years, from basic maintenance to major work. I would highly recommend them to anyone, for any car, and any work needed. Oh, did I mention they have very good prices? Excellent work and good prices!Thank you,Pastor GregYour Church Christian Fellowship
This man is a genius he also explains things so person understands
I have been to many shops in Columbus and this is the only place I will take all of our cars. Always does a great job and explains the details of the service. Great service and quick turn around if needed. They use quality parts that last. I won’t go anywhere else.
Dimitri is extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He assisted in referring me to another reliable mechanic to replace my transmission (no problems since!) and gave me a bottle of fluid for free when my car was running extremely low in the winter. I will definitely be going back!
I have been a loyal customer with Fogles Automotive for going on ten years now. My first appointment at Fogles concerned a supposed engine problem that according to Good Year would cost $1500.00. After a brief investigation, the owner, Dimitri informed me that the problem was nothing more than a couple of loose bolts that connected the engine to the frame of the car. The cost for the fix ended up being less than a $100, Ive been a loyal customer ever since. The staff at Fogles are knowledgeable, fair, friendly and above all honest. The last trait mentioned there, honesty is hard to come by these days, particularly when it comes to most auto mechanics. I recommend visiting Fogles to all of my friends and family. If your in the market for a reliable auto mechanic and not in the business of being cheated or mislead, then take my advice and give Fogles a shot. I guarantee you wont be disappointed.
Reasonably priced service. I had 3 of my cars serviced there,from basic brake service to more complex engine work, the job was done very well. Mikhail and Dmitry know what they are doing, and compare to other shops the parts they are using are more high quality, so they last longer. I would recommend Fogles service to my friends and family. Great guys and great service. Honest and dependable.
I have always appreciated how honest and simply Dmitriy explains my car issues. I feel pricing is more than fair for the extra care and small things he fixes that he finds while working on other issues. I always recommend Fogles to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy mechanic and will keep going there as long as I live in Columbus!
My family have been going to Fogles Automotive for more than 10 years and can not imagine taking our cars anywhere else for service. Every time is another great experience. Quick diagnosis, competitive pricing, exceptional follow through, excellent service! Dima does great work, on- time, at more than reasonable price! We would not hesitate to recommend him.
This autoshop is so amazing, they take their time explaining things to you. Multiple members of my family have been taking their vehicles here for over ten years now. Dmitriy, the owner is brilliant! Your car will be handled with utmost care as if you are a family, because in Fogle’s you are treated as such. And they try there best to get the job done in a timely manner. But they can take as much time as needed because you know it will be done correctly. You dont find good, loyal service around here anymore. But you will always find it here, very respectful, honest, and always going above and beyond, and take care of the problem. Prices are very affordable and that goes a long way these days. They will explain all the work that is getting done to your vehicle: things that need to be done right away, things that could be taken care of later, as well as things that don’t need to be done at all. Keep up the amazing work. I appreciate your company and the things you do.
Honest and knowledgeable! Having 4 cars, we are in constant need of repairs. Dimitri has been able to take care of us from working on a rear differential to doing a heater core flush. He has found alternate ways to repair things which dealers have told us would cost us hundreds (like repairing a wire instead of the entire read window defroster). He does not rip you off or trick you into unnecessary, costly repairs. As you can tell, everyone knows him by his first name! Very personable and professional. He is upfront about the repairs, cost, and time involved. I highly recommend Fogles Auto Service.
The only mechanic that I trust to do the best and most honest work. I recommend Fogle’s to everyone! THE BEST!!!!
I can not say how much we appreciate Dmitriy. We have taken our MB ML320 there several times and ALWAYS reliable dependable service at a fair price. Not only great service but a trustworthy person as well!! Highly recommend
My husband and I have been going to Fogles Automotive for the last 17 years. Whenever we have had any issues with any of our cars we have always gone to Fogles for excellent, superior and fair service. We have gone to other places for service and then went to Fogles to find that the other shops created work that was not needed. Since Dimitri has been there as a shop worker, and now owner, we have relied on his awesome expertise in the automotive field. We have have become good friends with him and have always referred his shop to other people.
I have been coming to Fogles Automotive for a couple of years now, and I couldnt be happier with the service they have provided me. Dimitri is a good, honest mechanic. He has always done exceptional work for me, and in a timely manner. About a year ago he replaced an incorrectly installed air intake on my engine, and my car now gets around 3-5 miles more per gallon of gas. Just recently he replaced my power steering belt, changed my oil, and drained my transmission fluid, and all for a very reasonable price! My 14 year old car now drives like it is brand new again! If any problems come up in the future, I wont hesitate to take it to Dimitri!
Honest & Female Friendly. We have been taking our cars here for 15 years. We have never been up sold or decieved. When my wife brings her car in she gets the same answers that I get. Dimitriy has always been a stand up guy and a wealth of automotive knowledge. We love having him in the neighborhood. My wife now makes him cookies.
I am extremely happy with the service at Fogle’s. Dmitriy is friendly and knowledgeable. I walk away knowing my repairs have been done correctly and completely. This shop is highly recommended to all my friends and neighbors.
I will definitely vouch for this shop.Theyre good at auto repair. Theyve been honest and reliable with me and my family. Plus, the prices are very reasonable (better than most). I didnt know anyone when we moved here 3 years ago, but I am glad we met Demitri. Fogles is the best shop Ive experienced in Columbus (having tried 3 other places that were all most expensive).
I have used Fogles for repairs on several occasions. Dmitriy takes the time to explain in detail the work that needs to be done before starting the work. The work is done correctly the first time and on schedule. I feel very lucky to have found a mechanic I can count on every time. I have recommended Fogles to several of my friends and family and they too have had excellent results.
Beware took them 3 days to figure out my daughters car needed a gas cap charged her 300 bucks to tell her she needed a 12.99 part and 287.01 for their troubles.. Not a very happy mom I feel she was taken total advantage of not to mention Midas was gone charge her 1000 and all she needed was a gas cap...
I absolutely recommend Fogle’s Auto Service. Dmitry is an incredibly knowledgeable mechanic who will take the time to thoughtfully diagnose problems with your car. My husband and I both drive old cars (‘99 Honda and ‘05 Toyota), and Dmitry has taken his time with each to give us honest feedback concerning diagnostics. And his repair work is fairly priced and impeccable. Take your car there!!
Dimitri will fix your car right. Honest mechanic. Any time I need help, he is upfront and keeps me informed as the repair is made. Keeps my cars on the road.
As someone who has owned a number of older vehicles over the years, which obviously required ongoing service and maintenance, I can say with absolute certainty that Fogles Automotive is the perfect auto repair center. There are two basic reasons; 1) Their high level of technical knowledge about cars, and 2) Their impeccable honesty & integrity. I got to the point where I wouldnt do anything with my cars until hearing what Dmitriy had to say about it. Absolutely fantastic! Thank you.
I took my car base on googles positive reviews. I must say Dmitriy is one of the honest mechanics I came across in Columbus area. He gave me honest proposal with very reasonable offer. Next time if I needed a repair, its nice to know where to take my car. I highly recommend his shop!
I strongly recommend taking your car to Fogle Automotive if you want the job doneright the first time. I knew Carl when he was alive over 30 years ago and now thatDimitri is owner I find that service at Fogle Automotive has not changed. I havetaken my 98 Toyota to this shop twice for major repairs and I have over 130thousand miles and my car runs very good. Ladies if you want the best service inColumbus this is the place to go. I have peace of mind, I dont have to break thebank and if I have questions or dont understand something Dimitri is more than happy to explain it and will refer me to my car manual for clarification. As i havesaid before if you want the job done right the first time go to Fogles AutomotiveService.
I just started having my car serviced at Fogles Automotive, and I could not be happier. I discovered them based on all of the other great reviews that I found on the Web. I had taken my car to a national chain to have the brakes replaced. After spending >$1300 on brakes, rotors, and a wheel bearing, my breaks were making terrible noises. I also needed tires; therefore, I visited Fogles. They were very helpful, honest, and quick with the repairs. They replaced the tires cheaper than the national chains, and they gave me advice on how to get the issue with my breaks resolved. The information that they gave me allowed me to go back to the national chain and have my breaks repaired without allowing them to take additional advantage of me. I was able to talk to them with expert knowledge, showing them that I would know if they tried to overcharge me again.I strongly recommend Fogles automotive!
We have had excellent quality service on all our vehicles for the past 6 years or more at Fogles Auto. We know the work is done right when we get our cars serviced at Fogles, thats why we wouldnt consider going anywhere else! At Fogles, they are knowledgeable, professional, and timely, couldnt ask for better service.
Id driven from home in NC to S. OH on business through the snow and rain. I was tired and I drove over a snow-covered median. AAA towed me to my hotel in Columbus OH. I googled and on the web found Fogles which was near my motel. The next morning I spoke to Dmitryi, and nursed the car to his garage. He was able to test drive the car right away and told me it was not safe to drive any more -- two bent wheels. He told me how much the repair would be, and ordered the wheels from Cincinnati to be brought in. He did the repair, and its held just fine for the past month -- no problems. (I drive 3000 + miles/month.) I got on my way again. He also ferried me to and fro from my motel while the car was in the shop. Dmitryi at all times was honest and very polite. He does good work, and hed be my full time mechanic if I lived in Columbus. Ill go to him again if I have car trouble in Columbus!
Demitre is the best, always advices with the best option and is honest.
Fogles Automotive provided the best service I have ever had in Columbus. My RSX needed a new transmission, and the Fogles Automotive team did an excellent job with the installation at a very fair price. The owner, Dmitriy, is very nice and offers a very good price for his excellent work. I would recommend Fogles to anyone in central Ohio!
Fogles Automotive service has always done a great job on my cars and I have been using them for several years. Honest and knowledgeable mechanic who never does un needed repairs. The owner also takes his time to explain what is wrong with your vehicle before any service is done. They have always gone above other repair shops in there service and I feel like they really care about timely proper vehicle repair with no short cuts.
There may not be a more honest person in the service business than Dmitri. I took my daughters car to Firestone to have it checked out because of a funny noise. They found over $800 worth of repairs that were needed including new tires (which were 65K mile tires purchased from Firestone and only had 26K miles on them). They also wouldnt do anything about the tires other than give me a minimal discount on a new set. So, I took my car to Fogles at the recommendation of my nephew and Dmitri verified the tire issue but, ruled out anything else as being necessary which cut the repair in half.Ive since brought a couple cars in for service including my own for some brake work. His guys inspected it and pointed out a minor issue causing some noise but, also that my brakes were fine overall and that nothing needed to be replaced. He did all this and then didnt charge me at all for looking it over in the first place. He also got it done by the end of the day even though I didnt bring it in until mid-afternoon (with his lot full of cars).Bottom line, I wont be taking my cars anywhere else for service, ever.
Dmitriy is an awesome mechanic, I take my car to him anytime something is wrong. He explains everything in-depth and always fixes the issue, as well as giving warnings and advice on potential problems down the line.
I’ve been to Fogle’s many times and i’ve only experienced great service, honesty, and a low pressure customer experience. i am now a grateful customer who will continue to return because of the intelligence and eclectic knowledge of the staff and owner.
I am usually pretty hesitant to review a mechanic until after I have been working with them for a good amount of time but I have been bringing my vehicles to Fogles for about four years now so I think it is safe to say that I have found a mechanic that I feel like I can trust. I feel like Dmitriy has been honest and up front with me regarding all of my vehicle repairs ranging from an 88 Jeep Wrangler to an 03 Accord with a few oddballs sprinkled in between. He takes the time to explain all of the vehicles issues to me so I have an understanding of exactly what is being done and I appreciate that.The thing that really stands out to me is that when I have and issue with a vehicle and bring it to Fogles for repair, it is diagnosed properly the first time, the correct repair is made, and I have never had that same issue come up again so I know it is getting done right the first time every time.If you are tired of dealing with the chain shops and getting nickel and dimed by mechanics who just dont seem to know what they are doing then I would strongly recommend taking your vehicle Fogles.
Always good honest knowledgeable work provided. Better than fair pricing. Dmitriy is always courteous even though he is always busy. Our neighbors reccomended him & we are so grateful. We reccomend Dmitriy at Fogles to everyone now. An honest mechanic does exist! I have always been treated the same as my husband - respectfully! You wont get talked down to here if you are a woman or not knowledgeable about auto repairs. I highly reccomend Fogles!
MY NAME IS MARK AND IM WITH DISCOUNT AUTO GLASS.I TAKE ALL MY WORK TRUCKS AND CARS THERE. ITS HARD TO FIND HONEST GUYS LIKE THEM. ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL,KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!!
Dmitriy is top notch. He is always very helpful and values repeat customers. He knows VWs better than any mechanic in Columbus, including VW dealerships. Very flexible and honest.
I have been taking my van, my wifes car, and our daughters car to Fogles for over a decade now. They deliver honest, quality repairs, on time, every time. I highly recommend Fogles.
FOGLES IS AN HONEST AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS. How do I know? My Odysseys A/C died with an Ohio Summer approaching. The dealer said it was the compressor and quoted a price. I called Dimitri whose quote was over 10% less, but he needed to make sure that was the real problem. Fogles correctly diagnosed it as a bad compressor clutch, fixed it, and saved me $600! Dimitri could have told me the dealer was right, fixed only the clutch, and put that $600 in HIS pocket. I wouldnt have known. Join all these five star Google reviewers and TRUST your car to FOGLES.
I love fogles will continue goin here. Demetri is kind considerate and extremely informative and intelligent. He also.checks up on me. I thought my transmission was going out and now my car goes into gear withing ten seconds, thank u!
Dmitriy is the best mechanic in Columbus. If you need someone to work on your car, stop looking and call Fogles. I originally came here based on a friends recommendation. Dmitriy had rebuilt part of his engine, and 40k miles later, it was still going strong. Luckily, I havent had any major issues with my vehicle, but Dmitriy has done a great job keeping my car in top shape. He does things the right way, uses high quality parts at cost and charges a fair rate for labor. I cant recommend this place highly enough!
There is no better team of mechanics than Fogles, not just in Columbus, but I have yet to find a better one anywhere Ive lived. My SO and I drive older cars with a lot of miles on them (a 98 and 03, both over 140k miles), and I credit still being able to drive it to Dimitriy and his team at Fogles. He is the only mechanic I have ever had that I feel like I can drop off the keys with him and say It doesnt feel right, please tell me why. Hes honest, he has a lot of integrity, and his prices are more than fair. I have recommended him to several people, and no one has ever been disappointed.Sadly, I moved away, and I couldnt take my favorite mechanic with me. But even after moving, I called him with a question and he took the time to help me. He really is the best there is!
Excellent job!Thank you.
Thanks to Dmitriy, Fogels Automotive, for making the necessary repairs to my 240 Volvo. It runs great. I was impressed not only with the professionalism of Dimitris customer service, but the thorough assessment and diagnosis of my car problems. I appreciate the guidance and the order of priority recommended by Dimitri in completing the repairs. Five stars :) Karen Y. Kennedy aka Kandi Kennedy.
Fogle has been my go through mechanic ever since we were introduced. His honesty and trustworthiness is UN matched in todays world. One example was when my Toyota truck was hesitating and dragging and a major dealership insisted I replace the whole engine at a cost of $11,000.00. They were obviously out of their mind. I called Demetre and brought my car to Fogle. A few hour latter, a spark plug was replaced and my car has been performing like a charm. Its almost two years now and this old car has required nothing else but regular oil change.I will recommend Fogle for all my car repair and I encourage you to do so.Charles C. Njoku, MD
MY WIFE AND I HAVE USED FOGLES AUTOMOTIVE ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS AND FIND DIMITRIY TO BE ONE OF THE BEST, IF NOT THE BEST MECHANICS WE HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. WE HAVE HAD TUNE UPS, SUSPENSION WORK, TIMING BELT CHANGED ON OUR HONDA, OTHER MINOR PROBLEMS DIAGNOSED AND HAVE COMPLETE TRUST IN DIMITRIYBASED ON THE RESULTS WE HAVE SEEN. HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS AND IS HONEST. GOODMECHANICS OF HIS CALIBER ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. I DO NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANY AUTOMOTIVE NEED. HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!
Used Fogles and would deff use them agin. Talked to Dimitri and its hard to find an Honest Mechanic anymore but I get that from him...Would reccommend to anyone.....
I walked in and simply asked for a belt replacement and was told no time at all (not even a future date is available) and then staired blankly at me. In and out and never to return or even suggest this place to anyone
Great,,it was a timely repair. price is competitive.
These guys have saved me a bunch of money! They always fix it right the first time!
Quick service
He is the best in Ohio
