Powertrain is the most honest auto repair shop I have ever been to. If you need a repair that is covered under warranty and he knows it, he will send you to the dealer instead of making the money himself. He wont try to talk you into a costly repair unless he is absolutely sure it is necessary. If you brought your car to the dealer for service and they messed it up, then take your auto to Powertrain to fix their repairs, he takes detailed pictures of their mistake so you can recover your money. that is why I take my auto to Powertrain in the first place now.

This place is a GEM! In case you are looking for a mechanic, you found one. Dave is a WIZARD with cars! I have never experienced customer service as good as Powertrain Automotive. I have also never before received my vehicle in BETTER condition than when I brought in in. Not once but TWICE! I brought my manual transmission VW to Dave in Nov 2020 for bearings. Not only did he fix it but he corrected the transmission so the shifting was smooth again. No idea how he did that, but it is real! I just brought the same VW to him today for tire repair and not only did he align them all and check them all, but now the temperature problem it had before I brought it in, is GONE! No more temp sensor light coming on for no reason! Oh and I didnt even mention it to him or anyone there. So, is he a wizard with cars? I think he is. If you want a mechanic who really knows cars, will treat you great and does EXCELLENT work, call Dave and go see him for yourself!! Thanks Dave and Alesha!!

Dave at powertrain must live eat and sleep northstars. If you know about them its every mechanics nightmare but not Dave. He made me feel very confident from day 1 that my motor would be done right and Id be able to enjoy. If you have a northstar with the dreaded headgasket issue Dave is absolutely the man. I believe every model vehicle has a whisperer i found 1 with dodge trucks and now I have 1 with dave and cadis. Thanks again for getting me back on the road. My uncle also had his northstar redone there as well.

Absolutely one of the BEST mechanics in Wickliffe Ohio HIGHLY recommended and QUALITY service in all that he does ! 5 stars @ Powertrain Auto thank you

I have had David working on my vehicles for years. He is fair and honest and makes sure that I have a safe car upon leaving his business. I trust him to make sure that my car is fixed right and he has never let me down. David is a very trustworthy and honest mechanic. He is an upstanding member of his community, a great business person and family man. I put Dave and his business in high regard. I have never been disappointed by him or his employees. His business is very easy to get to and if I need to get a ride after dropping my vehicle to him, he is always there and willing to drive me where I need to go.

Quality service, expert knowledge. My car was fixed quickly at a fair rate, couldnt be happier.

Did a great job fixing the head bolts on my deville. Very friendly explained the process very well.

Powertrain Automotive has been working on my cars for several years. I have always received great service and the only time that something came up, Dave asked me to stop in. Within 15 minutes, the problem was corrected and I was on my way. On top of that, their estimates are dead on and very reasonable for the quality of work that you get.They are definitely the place to take take your car, truck or trailer for repairs.

Update to Review..I repeat stay away from this place at all costs..Caused more problems than they solved..Why dont they have positive reviews..other than one they gave themselvesTry Rons Auto..and M&S Auto..Both on west side and worth the drive.. My car runs better than everYears later..car continues to run great..based on quality work...Repeat..stay away from these people..looks like lots of bogus reviews..Friends..Family etc!

Great work, they know their stuff.

I am the service manager of a local crane service company and I depend a great deal on Powertrain keeping my fleet of 13 trucks and 4 cars up and running. this is made difficult due to the fact the trucks are on the road all the time and have very high miles, some over 250,000 miles. But Dave keeps them going and with out his shop these trucks would never get to these types of miles and still be dependable. Because of the quality of his work I also bring my personal cars all the way from Geauga county for repairs.

Dave is very honest and a great mechanic. He can fix all the messes us backyard mechanics make! LOL. Nice guy and family man. I take all my cars to him for repairs.

David is the ideal combination of trustworthy and capable. Highly recommend.

I own a 2005 Pontiac GXP with the Northstar engine. I love the performance but like most Northstars, their are issues. Oil leaks develop and the aluminum block. I went to the computer and researched my options. I then get a call from Jake in Ontario Canada, he manufactures the stud replacement kits. He told me that the best man, in the US, for the job was David at Powertrain Automotive in Wickliffe Oh. I contacted David and knew immediately, he was very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He rebuilt my Northstar and I am very pleased with his work. I highly recommend, Powertrain Automotive for any of your auto repair needs. THANKS DAVID !!!!

If you are looking for a mechanic who is knowledgeable, reliable, honest and fair, then Powertrain Automotive in Wickliffe is where you want to take your vehicle. We are lucky enough to have found David many years ago, and neither I nor my parents would think of taking our car to anyone else now, ever. David treats us like family. He takes good care of our cars, no matter what the problem may be. He can fix anything, and he stands behind his work. I trust his judgement and experience completely. I never, ever have to worry that work is being done unnecessarily-David does not operate his business that way. He keeps our vehicles running smoothly and safely, and even calms me down when I panic over silly things! If you want to have peace of mind when you drop off your car for service, then Powertrain Automotive is the place to go! We really appreciate David, and I believe you will too!
