“Our engine light came on and the car started running rough. We arrived at our appointment at 9 am. Mike explained the steps they would take to diagnose the problem. Everette worked on our car, came in and explained what was wrong and showed us the engine when he was done. Mike & Everette are the best! We were on our way home within an hour. We are happy that our problem is solved. You can’t ask for more knowledgeable mechanics or nicer people. Sandy”

“I drive an older cargo van which started a leak which I knew was power steering. I appreciated that they were able to inspect it within the hour I had left it with them. While with them I also wanted the exhaust checked out. Their were a couple repairs they were able to complete rather than try to sell new exhaust system to me. That impressed me the most. Fix what needs fixed rather than pushing for expensive full replacement orders. The cost was much less than I expected and have experienced in the past. Nice way to run a business and definitely will return the next time I need work done.”

“First time using their service and I must admit I was very surprised to see the attention to detail as I watched the mechanic service my vehicle - NO shortcuts. He treated my vehicle like it was his own and I mentioned that to him when the service was completed. I will return to this hidden gem in the future. ”

“Let me start by thanking the tow driver Josh. He told me about Gahanna Tuffy. I agreed to give them a try. After spending $$$$ at another auto repair shop. They told me to go see a dealer. The other place said it was an engine problem. Well lo and behold it wasn’t that at all. Tuffy went above and beyond to make sure my car was fixed and more importantly they fixed it CORRECTLY! Thank you Mike for helping me when I was freaking out. They could have easily up sold me, but they were so honest it was amazing. They have a new life time customer. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. ”

“I have had my car serviced here for over 3 years now, and have never had an issue. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. It took a while to find a place that didn’t make me feel I was being taken advantage of being a single female, but I have never once felt that way. Mike up front is wonderful, and all the mechanics are to the point and honest. Can not recommend this place enough!! ”

“Excellent service! I have had great experiences with this Tuffy. Mike is absolutely wonderful!!!! Other service places have given me wrong information or extremely high estimates when it comes to my vehicle. I went to Tuffy after receiving info and they have always been honest and upfront. Estimates are always lower, info is accurate and usually not what “the other guy” stated was wrong with my vehicle. Will never go anywhere else again. I bring my car here and my teenage daughter’s car. ”

“I was told by my dealer that my rear breaks were in need of replacement. I was lead to believe the replacement was needed prior to winter. Between cost and the young age of the car, I felt a second opion was in order. My mother, a long time Tuffy customer, suggested I take my SUV here. This was my first experience here. I was extremely impressed with their kindness, honesty and professionalism. For this reason I will be back. Upon the free brake inspection, I was told my brakes were not in any apparent danger at this time. Further, I was told of the longevity that my brakes could still sustain. I plan to go back to them once the brakes do need replaced. Thanks to Mike Gordon for your help and honesty. It was appreciated. ”

“With a busy schedule I do not usually take time to write these however it is worth the read. I have been using Tuffy for about 2 years, the service that Mike and his team deliver is amazing. Regardless of the issue they work hard to always make it right and complete the job in professional and prompt manner. To make it even better they are friendly and work to accommodate your needs even while simply waiting. They go above and beyond and provide outstanding service and show the utmost level of respect for our community's small businesses, and first responders. I will never take my car anywhere else for it's service! I did not realize the scope of repairs they can do and when you need more than an oil change or tires they did a great job at that too! Please take the time to visit Tuffy of Gahanna! You wont regret it!!”

“I went in for a power steering problem and was given a very fair and detailed explanation of the issue, as well as possible solutions that I had available to me. After deciding to postpone the repair the owner expressed a total understanding and only asked that if I ever need a repair in the future that I allow him to work for my business at that time. Something I surely will do. I am a tough critic with high expectations. These guys meet them. I have found my mechanic. ”

“I needed a couple of bulbs replaced so I pulled into Tuffy without having an appointment. I asked them if they would have time to replace the bulbs. I fully expected them to say no because they were completely full but without hesitation they said they had time to complete the repair. Within 5 minutes they were working on the repair and about 5 minutes after that I was on my way. I was impressed! I've been going to the Gahanna location for many years now and I've never been disappointed. Thanks Mike for the wonderful service!!”

“I've only gone here two times, several months apart and first, the Manager Mike greets you every time with a nice smile...just feels good to walk into a place of business and get a welcoming smile. He immediately asks, how he can help. I found them because they participated in a Groupon deal...which is nice because not all Tuffy locations participate. So, anyway I highly recommend giving them the opportunity to assist you in your car service needs. ”

“I took my van in to Tuffy because it was veering to the left. I was referred by the place I take the van to for other issues. I wasn't thrilled with taking there because it used to not be very good. As soon as I gave Mike, the owner or manager, the name of my normal place, the first thing he said was, "They're good people over there." I thought that was refreshing! They did the front end alignment but the van was still veering to the left so Mike gave me some options of what they could do. They rotated the tires to see if that fixed the problem. As I was sitting waiting for my van to be done, another customer came in for a problem with her brakes. Tuffy could not find anything wrong with them. I thought to myself, Wow! A place who doesn't just say, yeah, this, this & this is wrong with the brakes & we have to fix them for an exorbitant about of money. If my normal place can't fix something on my van, I will for sure bring it back to Tuffy!!”

“I came to Tuffy after I found a Groupon for an oil change. The Gahanna location was closest to me. I made my appointment online. I think I requested an appointment on a Monday or Tuesday and they were scheduling on the upcoming Friday or Saturday so not too long to get an appointment. Drop off was easy. They didn't give me any issue ab accepting the Groupon. My appointment was at 3pm. I was done right about 4pm. I was just waiting for them to tell me I need this that and this (making my bill very expensive. There was no such issue. I ended up paying an extra 4.50$ which was fine with me. Usually whenever I have anything done to my vehicle I'm given a laundry list of things that "need" done. I was so happy there was no pressure to do any additional services. I would and will definitely go back to Tuffy the Gahanna location. Thank you guys! ”

“I've been going to this Tuffy for ten years. There was a rough period there where the customer service was awful and I thought about going elsewhere. But last year I met Mike and he has turned things around! I had to have lots of brake work done and he let me go into the garage and showed me the under parts of my car (never seen before) and explained everything. I thought that was awesome. Then, I went to Panera to eat and it was raining and he insisted on walking over to get me and handed me an umbrella! Wow, now that's customer service!!”
