Had them mount a new set of tires I brought in. Talked with the technician while he was checking things out, very helpful. Job was done quickly and professionally. Ill be going back for more work.

I called them to find out how much an oil change would cost for my 2014 Ford Focus. I was shocked when they told me because of full synthetic oil the price would be about $65 to $70. I truly was not expecting to hear any amount that high after all it did not even cost that much to get the oil changed on my Lexus.

Chris was so nice and informative. I have a hybrid and even though he couldnt fix my car he made me feel confident that he really was looking out for my best interest when he suggested that I take my car to a dealership that could. I would recommend taking your car there if youre in need of repairs.

I was in need of a vehicle inspection during a period that reputable auto shops were swamped due to employee shortages. Hudson Automotive Service, like everyone else, was unable to help me that day, but unlike everyone else, was able to provide service the next day. They were professional and ahead of schedule. I gladly paid more for services provided during the current industry demand.

TL;DR- Good mechanics, fair pricing, quick, and honest.Went to them for A/C compressor replacement, frayed belt, oil change, and a tune-up, all in one trip. Dropped it off Thursday evening and picked it up Tuesday afternoon. Conducted daily checks (except weekends) for updates, they were courteous and professional when I called. During check out Chris allowed me to leave my car in their front lot so I could come back after they closed to pick it up. They also contacted me after closing saying they had accidentally charged me an additional $25 for the A/C core and I could come back tomorrow for a refund if I wanted. After talking to him about another option, I decided store credit would be enough since I will be using them again. Overall great experience and I didnt feel lingering doubt afterwards.

Chris and his crew are dependable and honest mechanics that we have used for over 20 years. We have referred many friends and family to him and will continue to do so.

Called to check on my friends car as it was in their shop for 4 days and they wouldnt return her calls. When I called I was met with hostility. They said it would be done shortly then just hung up on me. Come to find out they didnt even work on it the whole time and were lying. We went with Webers Automotive a million times better than this place. Go to Webers if you need something done not these liars.

I brought my car in to get an oil change and to get my gas gauge fixed. They kept giving me the run-around about when my car would be done. They lied and kept saying it was almost done when it wasnt. Everytime I called they always said they would call me and never would. Very rude on the phone.It turned out my fuel pump needed replaced and then they replaced it with another bad fuel pump so they put back my old one in. All that aggravation in my car sitting there in the shop for 2 days all for nothing.Im going somewhere else from now on.

Always greeted with a smile and genuine concern for your needs. Service is always quick and reasonable. I have never had to return to correct any errors because there arent any! I would highly recommend Hudsons Automotive Service to anyone with car repair needs or even simple auto maintenance! Big city service with a small town atmosphere! They treat you like youre part of the family! Id give them 10 stars if it were an option!

Review №16

One of the best automotive shops in the greater Dayton area. If they tell you something needs to be fixed believe it because they are honest they are ethical and they use the least expensive way of repairing the problem. Ive gotten my whole family to use this service and I will continue to do so

Got my car towed there and as soon as I got there they were able to check it out, gave me a call back letting me know what needed done & the price. They told me it would be about 3 hours of work & that they would give me a call letting me know if that was all that needed done to fix my car. I was able to pick it up the same day it was brought in. I didn’t meet anyone other than the owner and woman at the front desk but both were extremely nice & it was great service! Highly recommend them!

I love Chris and his son because they explain things and also treat loyal customers well. They replaced my brake lights (I had bought bulbs) no charge: as a Lyft driver, I really appreciate this!

Definitely will be going back with any other issues I have with my car. It popped a hole on my way to work and was completely flat by the time the tow came. Rather than taking the easy route to up-sell like a bunch of other repair shops will do, they were honest and saw it only needed plugged, and went ahead and did that. Just straight forward, honest, and good work.

Have been using Hudsons Automotive now for a couple of years. Great service, friendly staff, and most importantly i fully trust them to look out for my best interest. Extremely reasonable prices and reliable care. Many thanks to Chris and his staff for always being there. I wont go anywhere else!

Hudsons did an amazing job on my Volvo! They noticed that a wire to a sensor on the ABS system was broken, and instead of having me replace the whole sensor they fixed the wire for a fraction of the price. Very happy with my first service; will be back again!

Been going to Hudsons for years they always do a good job faster then expected. The best thing is they are honest and only do the necessary repairs or maintenance. Even have great deals on tires. I highly recommend Hudsons.

Very nice friendly place. I like to talk to Lisa when I go there, shes like a family friend who makes you feel right at home.Chris always tells you what your vehicle needs and if you dont have the money to get what need to be done he lets you know how much it will cost. He is the only one I will let work on my car. Very professional.

Chris and the employees are great. I’m a single female and I am treated with respect and never have they tried to rip me off like some others. I feel extremely safe after my car has been serviced at Hudson’s Automotive. I go out of my way to have my car serviced by the gang at Hudson’s!

Ive been bringing my vehicles to Chris / Hudson Automotive for 15+ years. Ive been owning and maintaining vehicles for over 30 yrs. I can truthfully say he is the most honest mechanic Ive dealt with. He answers all my questions, provides solutions and fixes my vehicle. Thats all I ask and want. Ive referred all that ask to him, because an honest and fair mechanic is difficult to find.

My boy told me this place hit his car while he had it in for an oil change and they are being a real pain when it comes to how the repair gets done. So one star because word spreads fast today.

Chris and his team are great! I have had the absolute worst service ever here in Dayton, Ohio when it comes to mechanics!! Chris and his team changed that! He and his team were the absolute best mechanic experience that I have ever had! HONEST! AFFORDABLE! And they go ABOVE AND BEYOND! They offered to pick me and drop me off! They remembered my name every time I came in! And to top it off they even put a little gas in my car! I never take the time to leave reviews on anything but I 100% recommend Hudson’s Automotive!

Chris and his crew is so helpful! They let you know right off the back, of what you need to do and how they can fix it. They make sure to let you know when your next oil change is due. A very friendly staff. I only trust them with my car I know that he(my car) is in perfect hands.

Review №42

Ive had family and friends go here for years and always heard good things. Sadly, I brought my car in for a brake inspection and a faulty brake hose was incorrectly diagnosed as a parking brake issue. Luckily I looked more into the issue myself instead of paying out $500 for the parking brake replacement. Chris was really nice and Im sure it was an honest mistake. Im not sure if Ill bring my car back or not in the future though.

I took my car in for an oil change and new tires. One of their mechanics backed into my car with another car. My door needs replaced and I have to drive around with a giant dent in my passenger door for who knows how long. All lights worked when I dropped off the car but when I picked it up a tail light bulb was out. The car is in worse shape when I picked it up than it was when I dropped it off.

Took my car in for some tires. They told me I needed new rotors and gave me a giant price to replace them. I just put new break pads and rotors on my vehicle a few months ago so watch out. They will try to sell you things you do not need.

Review №56

I visited a fast food restaurant, and the large drink I got was huge, and too big for my drink holder. I spilled it all over my gear shift. I called around and noone would even talk to me about the problem. Someone told me to call Hudsons. The guys at Hudsons Automotive cleaned it out and I was able to drive it. After a couple of weeks, it started sticking again, because, lets face it. That was syrup in there. They went in a second time and cleaned out the part that was hiding. The next year, I had them find me a used engine and bought myself about three more years on my car. They really know what they are doing there. That Nissan had about 230,000 miles on it before I sold it.

Took my 2002 Saturn SL in for an engine light on 7/7/2014. Ive waited a month to make sure everything was working. It is. Hudsons installed a new engine control and so far so good. My cars gas milage has increased from 25 to 30 mpg for normal driving. Not only am I happy with the work, but the cost and time were both great.

Review №63

Left car at shop for 4k worth of repairs,got it back and two days later I see a crack coming up from where they were working,and they refused to pay for the repairs even though its definitely something theyve done. You can see the damage to the screw and a little bit of the damage to the plastic dowel and then at the end of the scratch a perfect impact in the glass from the tool. Why would I break my own window? I just spent 4k fixing the car and theyve now lost my business over a 200 dollar window that they shouldve replaced no questions asked...***update*** my windshield now leaks extremely bad and chris ignored my attempts to reach out to him publicly in an attempt to receive proper service. I dont get how I could spend so much money and be treated so unfairly and for you to brush it off like I dont know what Im talking about. Ive been around ASE certified mechanics my entire life. I think I would know who broke my windshield, if my balljoints have been replaced or not and I can also tell you didnt replace the lower trailing arms like you claim in the invoice.
