Went to whites automotive to have some parts fixed on my vehicle and I was greatly blessed by all the professional and courteous office staff, the parts that had to be replaced where safety issues and took some time to repair as I expected, I was there when they opened and repairs where done in timely manner by (Zach) he worked with a smile, needless to say I gave him little bit extra, while the work was being done Harold (the owner) kept us updated and laughing.The price was great!!!!Employees outstanding!!!Service with a smile!!!!Great job everyone!!!! Thumbs up!!!
Rented a car from them and regret it! Their cars are all unsafe they only fix the outside the engines are horrible and they over charge you. I paid for my mileage and they still penalized me for doing right
Always a great experience,the staff are always helpful and on point
Very very very pleased with everybody at this place! Such friendly and knowledgeable people who honestly care about the business they put out. Harold really knows his cars and Robert is such a nice guy! The ladies at the front desk are awesome too! Id recommend these guys to anyone!! Very happy with my services.Brand new steering column and four new tires! 👍🏻
Courteous service, very detailed oriented. Definitely happy with overall service and cost.
9-24-2019Called to make appointment for oil changeNo appointments: 1st come 1st servedROUGH estimate of $45 (varies by vehicle/year/make/model)Arrived approximately 2:35pm. Bays were full, several customers ahead of me in waiting area. I was pleasantly greeted by Amy (Good eye contact, How can we help you today? I replied I would like to get the oil changed on my daughters car.). Amy promptly checked me in; Amy entered my name, contact info, vehicle info, and I handed over car key.I took a seat in the waiting area. (clean, well lit, good ventilation, decent air conditioning, ample space/not crowded)While I waited I had opportunity to observe.-- Busy location.-- Phone rang steadily and was quickly answered by office ladies. (some calls for fifty cent rent a car, some for auto service)-- Auto parts and supplies dropped off steadily by several different suppliers.-- Customers checked out efficiently and steadily.-- Other customers dropped off vehicles for service/repairs.-- Customer dropped off payment/deposit on vehicle in lot for sale.Waited maybe 10 minutes, then car was pulled into bay by Jeremy. After a few minutes Robert came out to let me know how much the oil change would be ($45); he said if they noticed anything else needed to be done theyd let me know. I said that would be fine. They proceeded with oil change.Finished by 4:02 pm -- car pulled out of bay by Jeremy. No other work needed. 4:05 pm Checked out efficiently and cheerfully by Erica. Paid 48.46 with tax. Very reasonable.It was a bit tricky exiting from location (busy multi-direction traffic light intersection). I opted for right turn onto Wynnton and had no difficulty.Overall very good experience. I will go back for next oil change, for sure.Call first with questions, directions, hours.
You can always trust these guys to be honest and fair..I will continue to rake my vehicle there for repair if needed..staff is outstanding..thank you ..
Fair, understanding folks. Grateful to have a local reliable auto shop
They do not know how to do a tire alignment. Worst service in town, I do not recommend.
Ladies be careful! My needed a starter, and she had a coolant leak. They the starter on, but couldnt find the Leak. Then they call her she needed a timing belt. SMH...I put a timing belt on there a little over year ago. Timing belts are changed every 60,000 miles. Thats five years with regular driving. Get second opinion!!!!
I won’t do business with this place for the sole fact the radio advertisements are extremely annoying and play car horns loudly. What is the point of that?
Cant argue with RESULTS.i came in a month or so before this anticipated road trip, with a rough idle, lean engine code, lifter tick and a few other issues. They diagnosed the issues piece by piece and Ryan kept me updated on the prognosis which I really appreciated. Since I do work on the Jeep myself as well I always REALLY appreciate a thorough explanation and person-to-person discussion about what the mechanics are up to. The engine sounds FANTASTIC and this baby drove like it was brand new... through the woods, plains, deserts, and mountains. I absolutely couldnt have done this trip without the SUPERIOR service from Whites Automotive. THANKS SO MUCH!
I have been a customer twice so far Robert the tech saw us both times found him to be very professional and his honesty goes without saying,he has not only been very informative but has made my husband and I feel comfortable with the info he has given us we are seniors and disabled so we need to be safe on the road,we also found the front desk to be very professional only complaint is the restroom could use a little care, a little paint and a New trash can is needed. Thanks too all the staff for the great job.D
They might not be the cheapest, but if you want peace of mind when it comes to car repair, you cant do better. Friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and efficient.
They are honest and reliable, been going to them for years
Do not go to this place do not go to this place its a rip off guy told me 40 dollars for a tire stem went to another place that did for 5 buck do not go here do not go here
I just left there. I didn’t get the name of the guy that helped me but he was very Informative and patient with me asking question after question. I didn’t get any work done due to not being able to pay for any risky damages that could occur but in the end they cut me a break on the inspection fee. Which literally made my day because I’m not working at the moment. Anyways thanks guys for being patient and nice.
Fast service and recommendation.
We were driving to Columbus from South Florida. Our power steering was sounding horrible. I wondered if I should take it to the Honda dealer but I knew it was going to cost big $$$. My son-in-law suggested Whites as many on post have had positive experiences with this shop. As soon as I brought it there Harold White, the owner, diagnosed the problem just by telling him the symptoms of the problem. Instead of a possible huge bill at Honda they charged 50 bucks. They are amazingly honest. They could have charged me much much more. Great great place
They did a good job. They fixed what I went in for.
Fair and honest!! They Always call for approval BEFORE they start the work. The staff is Very professional and they provide great service.
Great for repairs not so great on rental cars
Great service and fair prices!
Excellent service Amy an the office staff are awesome. You cant beat their prices.
THEY WILL CHARGE YOU DEALER RATES!!! AND THEY ARE NOT THE BEST. PLEASE TAKE YOUR CAR ANYWHERE ELSE.
Glad I found out about Whites from my map search! Needed brakes and rear rotors badly, but Im on a strict budget. The guys and girls at Whites are amazing! The cost of replacement was less than I expected and they were upfront about costs. They even got me in and out on a Saturday! Theyve earned my business from this experience. Well done!
Terrible experience went out of town and left my car with them to fix my taillights, change my coil packs and spark plugs while out of town the mechanic called and said it was ready and all was fixed and the price was 140 Im thinking great get back get the car and my gf tells me its driving worse I check under the hood nothing has been changed we take it back a different mechanic took it charged by the hour unlike the first 2 hours and 200 later theyve found no source to my broken taillight but came across what it could be and it would cost around 500 extra to fix they was constantly bringing up problems unrelated to what I wanted fixed and had what seemed to be pre rehearsed excuses of why they couldnt fix what I wanted down right awful
Me and my wife spent over 800 on a new water pump and tiers the job was good but after we got home we Noticed that one of the hubcap covers was missing we called them and they tried to tell us that it was not there responsibility that someone could’ve possibly stole one single hubcap off of the tire And then they also told us after we drive the car out of the Business anything that falls off after three days is not there problem If they put it back right it would of not fell off and instead of Taking responsibility The Technicians argued with my wife and my Father-in-law . Will not be back .
Good people here
Always excellent service. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Im sure they are very good at what they do, but they misdiagnosed my Mazda 3 issue as a fuel pump replacement. I was reassured in person, and then over the phone that the tests were all done and the fuel pump was found faulty. Since that is covered under the power train warranty, I drove to Macon dealership (not one in Columbus) to have it checked out. The dealership found (after the SAME testing) that it was the fuel rail, NOT covered. So, Im out $1200 for the fix.I spent $170 with Whites to have the test run, which should have included testing the fuel rail electronically (I read the service manual). I dont think that was ever done. I paid for a test that was not adequately performed or completed. If the issue had been properly diagnosed I would have saved a few hundred bucks—not only with the test itself, but with my driving to Macon, having to rent a car for the weekend, and paying dealership prices. Not too pleased. Wont be back.
The whole staff is respectful & do their jobs very well!!! Thank you Amy, Erica, Carly, & Robert
Appears to be a bunch of crooks running this place. Trying to sell things I know wasnt needed.
Excellent service...professional and polite employees with fair prices
It is nice to know they can fix problems that dealerships cannot. True experts.
These guys are shady AFI go in for and oil change and then the next days breaks. Then the very next day my check engine comes on with two more lights and I check my oil dipstick no oil? And then I go to have it rectified and they say that theyll have to charge me to diagnose my car i opt out cause i dont want these cats touching my car anymore then they have and my car worked perfectly fine before they got their claws into it. Dont go here theyre crooks
I called about several things I needed replaced on my 67 GMC C15. After all the parts I named off they said i needed less than half of what i asked. They were literally the most honest shop I have ever dealt with. They will go above and beyond and look for parts in different shops, warehouses, websites etc. I have never been more impressed with a shop which I why I give them 5 stars .
Tire fix on the spot!!
Awesome customer service, great cars & the best prices in town. Very happy I found Whites Automotive! I definitely will return and make sure to spread the word. Thank you for a great experience.
When I took my car in to get repairs the service was wonderful.. They got me out as quickly as possible. The staff was wonderful. Nice environment. I highly recommend this shop I will return...
Ask for Ryan! He is great at explaining things in an easily understandable way for people who arent very knowledgeable about cars, such as myself. They are very thorough and reasonable. Everyone is so friendly and happy to assist you no matter how big or small the job. I highly recommend them for any work you need done on your vehicle!
They Were Quick and Efficient. Thanks for Your Help.
Typical mechanic shop price hustlers. over charging for routine procedures using excessive words to describe simple procedures. 20 minute job takes2 hours to justify the $200 price gouge... including the technicians knowledge and years of experience as an itemized expenditure
Very reasonable rates and friendly staff.
You know those sleazy, scumbag mechanics you see in TV shows and movies that try to rip their customers off. Well, you wish you were dealing with those kind of mechanics after dealing the so-called automotive mechanical experts at Whites Automotive Center.Took my 2007 Mazda 3 down due to a service engine light and automatic transmission issue. Spent up to $700 on it, they kept my car for up to 2 weeks, barely called me, the only communication I had was when I called them to get a status check and it was the same message over and over Were looking at it. and when I picked it up my car the issue was not fixed. AT ALL. When I explained this to them. Did I get any compensation, nope, none at all. Was told that the best they would be willing to do is a free diagnostic to see what causing the issue but, Im still required to come out of pocket to pay for any additional repairs, parts and labor to fix the issue. Then what was the $700 I paid Whites for. For them to sit around with thumbs up their butts and blow smoke up my ass.Avoid giving these guys your money and time. All they care about is taking your money, very poor customer service skills, I doubt they have any automotive skills to work on current model vehicles. All I can say is that Ive had nothing but frustration when dealing with these guys and I will not recommend them to anyone. Avoid, please, please do not see these guys for your vehicle repairs and needs. You can go elsewhere and get better.
The staff was awesome and took the time to explain the issue with my vehicle to me.
Ryan & The entire STAFF are so professional & genuinely care about their service and your vehicle.
Always accommodating and work hard to make deadlines with having cars ready as promised.
Good service!!
Great and fast service. Had to get a tire plugged and they took care of it in 15 minutes. Originally told the price would be $18, but after doing the job it ended up costing $12.
Super friendly and helpful staff. Great selection and quality of inventory too. Prices cant be be beat if youre not driving too far.
Great service, great price. Fixed my broken brake switch in just a couple hours and only charged $28. Cant beat the quick and affordable service. Thanks!
This is my go to shop. They are always so professional, and they are able to get my car in and out in a timely fashion! I have never had any complaints! Also, the technicians are quite pleasing to the eye, which is just an added bonus!
This is the place to go to if you need to rent a car the people there are very friendly I had my rental car for a month and I enjoyed it I want to say too the ladies in the office keep up the good work
I brought my 05 Tahoe here for a skip, talked to Ryan when I dropped it off they got it in before I left, wound up needing a couple coils and a tune up, they finished the job before lunch for a decent price. Definitely will be returning.
Great experience! I took my 84 Datsun there and they took the time to figure out the issues and make the right repairs. Im very pleased and would definitely recommend them.
Honest environment. Dedicated to fixing your car the right way. Not giving you a band-aid and telling you what you want to hear.
Excellent diagnostics, great service, fair pricing. We take all of our cars to them for service.
I ended up bringing my car in to get an oil change the other day. Well, turns out I had a nail in my tire, as well. I would never have found this out if not for the technician’s effectiveness in making sure my car was up to par. This will be my go to shop from now on!
Whites automotive replaced my heater coil on my vehicle and I came by during the process and realize the extensive repair that they really had to do and could not believe it was able to be taken care of so quickly. The price was very reasonable and service was very friendly I would recommend them to all my friends and family.
Great ! No complaints
Got ripped off from a repair. 400 dollars for me to get my serpentine belt and harmonic balancer replaced. They saw the out of state tags and the need for a repair instantly and definitely took advantage.
I have been coming to Whites for years. I can only say good things about them. Mostly oil and fluid changes. However they have done other things. Once I had a head gasket changed out and it failed for some reason. I returned to the garage and it was replaced free of charge no questions asked.
They have the best customer service!
Great People that Work & Care for your needs
I only use Whites now for all of my repairs and maintenance because of there fast and friendly service at reasonable price
Great service, inexpensive, great amount of experience. Trustworthy.
I paid for repairs to my stepsons 2008 Impala at this shop. I was told that two actuators in the heater system were bad and replacing them would cost around $365 and change. I had them do the work--they did, after picking up the car, on the way home my stepson reported that the same clicking noise was coming from the dash when he turned the heat on full. We called and took it back the next morning...and JR called and told me that his mechanic said a THIRD actuator was bad and it would cost an additional $600 to fix that.In my opinion, this was a sloppy diagnosis and repair on the part of the mechanic; the repair job was only 75% completed. IF yet another actuator were really bad, the least this business could do is offer to fix it, labor free.
I take all of my cars here for repairs and maintenance. I’ve never once had an issue myself because they go out of the way for customer satisfaction
Best mechanics in town with fantastic prices and fast service. No reason to ever go anywhere else.
Had my van towed here which cost me 100 dollars. Showed up at 7:30 a.m. and gave them a $150 deposit and was told that it would cover the diagnostic ($80) and go towards repairs. Never got any phone calls; had to call them periodically throughout the day to check up on my van and was told very little had been done with it. Came back in person at 5 p.m. and was told that Id have to pay an additional $80 diagnostic fee for them to keep looking at it. Asked for a full diagnostic report and my van back and they didnt even have a diagnostic report. Was confronted by the owner and he attempted to intimidate me into allowing them to take more of my money, and very confusingly attempted to explain why they were taking my $150 for a inconsequential day of diagnostics. Settled on getting $50 back and my van back with no problems determined and nothing repaired. Do not trust yall.
Big thumbs up to the management and staff..service was done in a timely manner and done right...not overpriced,very affordable.
Best place to get your car repairs.
Quick service, Friendly and reasonably priced ask for Ryan!
Beautiful, an unbelievable place to see!
I paid to have my ac diagnosed. After paying for this service I was told that my compressor was shot and that the dye was spraying out of it. I was quoted around $800 to fix it. I cant remember the exact amount because it was lumped in with quotes on a few other repairs. So I contemplated doing to the repair myself and got under my truck to investigate and gauge the difficulty. When I got under my truck, I didnt see any uv dye. Odd. So I went and purchased a can of dye and put my go lpro under my hood pointed at the compressor. No dye... hmm.... So I kept looking. My condenser had a small leak it. I spent $58 on a condenser and less than an hour to change it. Ac is cold as ice. Compressor working perfectly.Whites automotive told me my compressor was shot and quoted me a price to replace it.
Very polite and WILL tell u the truth no matter what the case is. The truth will set you free!
Always a job well done and friendly service
Ask for JR .. great people very nice ..
Quick and friendly
My wife (Beverly) and I have been customers for years but lately the new front desk staff has been extremely rude to my wife and I . I really like the work JR does but if this keeps up Im going to have to find a new place to take my trucks and wifes car . I recently ask for a top off service with a good car wash and the young man that washes cars was arguing with the front desk girl . Its all too much, just leave that personal stuff at home .JR please do something about this its getting out of hand its every time I come up there . Hope things change and soon!
Felt like they genuinely looked over my car, I have a 2005 Cherokee, I try to keep it up, White’s told me what was priority and what could wait unlike other places that pressured me or neglected to tell me at all, definitely making it my new car place. Thanks!
Did not hAve sufficient cars for rental
Great service
Michael was having a bad day. Always courteous and professional.
These guys are amazing!
Fixed car cheap
Over charged for things I didnt even need.
Only shop that could fix my Jaguar.
Ask for JR great service!!
Excellent customer service
Waited too long for help
Great staff
Great prices. Professional staff. Easy going service. They get exactly what you need done without any of the other tedious irritations that you get from trying to rent a car anywhere else. Straight to the point and get the job done. I recommend whites to my family and friends every chance I get and will continue to.
Great, trusting service. Only issue is they Dont do appointments so if you drop off your car theres no guarantee when they can get to it.
