Brought our Ranger in for a tune up.. wires, plugs, etc. The truck's performance greatly improved! They seem to have a friendly, and straight forward staff. No marketing add-ons Will use Sylvester's again. Their price for the tune-up was reasonable and fair. We have a happy truck!

08/28/2023

Very pleased with our recent service! As a BW parent with a new first year student on campus having a car problem, it would seem that there would be headaches on the horizon. However, as soon as I call Sylvester's and explained our situation, they could not bave been more understanding and accommodating. Once we got the vehicle to them, they were communicative, solutions-focused, timely and well-priced. I was pleased to have recieved Sylvester's as a recommendation for a local garage, and glad to know they're there for us should we need them again. Thank you!

Sylvester's was recommended to me by a family member who has gone to them for over 30 years. They were friendly and efficient, called me with an estimate of what I needed and said something I thought I needed could wait. I was very pleased with the work and will certainly return.

I've been going to Sylvester's since 2007 and have never had anything but honest, detailed, thorough work done there. I appreciate that I have a place I can take my car that will get the work it needs done and not more, at least not without my approval. Couldn't recommend more.



reviewicon
11/30/2022

Had to get the entire shifter in my car replaced on short notice during a road trip, these people were amazing! Did such a quick and stress free repair efficiently and didn't over charge. Very kind and honest business will use them again next time I'm in the area.



reviewicon
05/25/2022

I took my 2012 Ford Fusion because the car was riding low. They diagnosed it with a broken spring and had it back to me within a day. I was so impressed that they took the time to look over some other things that I hadn't asked for and they suggested that I consider getting new brakes and tires. They didn't try to sell them to me on the spot!! They actually told me I could get through the summer safely. I have been to many car repair shops with this vehicle and others and I have never, ever had such great customer service. Prices were very reasonable, by the way! Hope not to see them soon, but I will return when I need further repair.

My daughter brought her car in for a long needed inspection. We interacted with Chris who was very professional and honest. They uncovered that the rear brake bolt had broke, and saved her from a potentially bad accident! The price was very fair, and the mechanic didn't attempt to sell us any updates that we didn't need. I highly recommend Sylvesters based on their quality and friendly interaction.



reviewicon
04/06/2021

Sylvester's is an honest and helpful company. They have assisted and researched the issues with my son's truck. Even though they are busy, they always go out of their way to help. We cannot say enough about this company. Thank you for everything!

Chris at Sylvester's Auto is seriously the nicest guy in the auto repair business, bar none. The Mr. Rogers of mechanics. We will always come back here for the professional service and absolutely stellar customer service.



reviewicon
05/19/2020

100% recommend. I had taken my car my Ford dealer for them to look it over and they tried to tell me that parts of my car needed to be replaced or else if I drove over a pot hole and it broke the back of my car wouldn't be supported and that it would cost $400 to replace it. I took it to Sylvesters to get a quote on the same procedure and they informed me that the part was working perfectly! I can't believe that the dealer was trying to scam me but I'm glad that I took it to Sylvesters before paying that $400. My family has been going to them for over my entire life and I will continue to do the same



reviewicon

11/15/2019

I needed some work done urgently. They ordered the part right away and scheduled me the day after it was received. It was found I needed another part during the repair and though it was not available new anywhere that day (the bumper and grill were removed for the initial repair and needed to be off for the additional part as well), he called around and found a used part so that the work could be completed the same day. This saved me a lot of money in labor as they would have needed to take the bumper and grill off the car again. Chris was very friendly and knowlegeable and explained things in a way that I was able to understand. I will be very comfortable going back for future needs.

reviewicon

Would highly recommend! Chris was awesome and very helpful! I had an issues with my transmission light coming on. He took a look at it and got back to me and said that he would suggest going to a transmission shop. Unfortunately, my father passed away that very same day and he offered to take my car to the nearest transmission shop since I had my hands full with things. It was honestly the nicest thing a business has ever done for me. I will definitely go back! Thank you Chris!



reviewicon

I called Sylvester's for replacement/repair of all 4 brakes, pads etc..after I got an estimate costing several hundred dollars more than that from a National auto service center. Sylvester's installed new brakes etc. Within a quick time frame and were very professional. I believe in keeping work local anyway .. Sylvester's is wonderful!!!!!

My entertainment center (with clock, bluetooth, etc.) went out a few weeks ago and I tried everything to fix it without having to get an expensive replacement. The only thing I couldn't do was unplug the battery because it was set too far back for me to reach it safely, and a couple other places I called said that they'd check it out but I would need to pay them $100+ to look at it and that I would most likely need to order a new center. I called Sylvester's and explained that I was pretty sure it just needed unplugged and plugged back in again, and they said they could absolutely help with that, free of charge. I was in and out in 20 minutes and it's working perfectly! It was such an easy fix and I was deeply appreciative that they didn't try to pull the wool over my eyes and charge me needlessly. Thank you!

reviewicon
01/02/2019

Took my car here once for a new starter. I asked if he could figure out why the AC didn't blow any air. He looked at it for a while. Didn't figure it out. He called to ask if I wanted him to keep looking it not, knowing I needed the car back on a particular day. I really appreciated the care put in. I don't remember the particular technician's name.

The best auto shop I have ever come by. Honest, fast, reliable work, and they even give BW students with their ID a discount! You will have no desire to try out other auto shops after you have been taken care of by Sylvester's. Also some of the friendliest people I have meant.

Dear new potential customer, I have used Sylvester's Auto for my repair shop over many years. I highly recommend this business. These mechanics are excellent, very responsive to my requests. I am completely confident in their mechanical work. This is an excellent choice for any driver who wants to take good care of their vehicle and lives anywhere near Berea, Ohio.



reviewicon
04/25/2018

Chris and Rich are two of the most honest men in the auto repair industry. Seriously, I trust them and don't even get a quote when I bring in my trucks. I have been taken before, and know all the auto jargon, but they do the right thing every time. I won't beat a dead horse, but you gotta try them out. My favorite part is when Chris tells me what's wrong with my vehicle, he almost seems sad. Honestly doesn't even begin to explain it.



reviewicon

Good people are hard to find..at Sylvester's, you will find good service and good people running it !!

I wish I lived here so I could always take my cars here but sadly I live in NC. I'll be sending my boyfriend here before he leaves to go back to NC to. Thank you again !
