APAR Services in
Ashland (OH)

They were supper helpful and found the issue right away. Even with ordering certain parts, I had my car back within two days.

Everyone is always friendly and helpful. Waiting area is very clean and organized. Doesn't take long to get appt. They know what they are doing.

APAR is the most honest shop i know with best rates in town. Quality work that they back up 100%.

Was on a time crunch. Needed a battery urgently, called them and they replaced my battery and did my oil change immediately. Then gave me photos of and quotes on another mechanical issue they saw. 100% recommend!

Got a flat tire super close to here called them, took it to them they got my car in right away and fixed the tire for a good price and they were very friendly and talked to me about the options

This place is amazing I went somewhere else and told them exactly what needed to be done but they wanted to charge me $4k this place dis what I said and it was a little over $700. Will keep going here now

On a Thursday night in the middle of November, I was on I-71 driving back to my home in Kansas City from New Jersey when I started getting a shimmy in the front end of my Volvo S40 . I pulled off at truck rest stop but couldn't find anything obvious wrong, but due to the shaking in my steering wheel, I had to drive on the shoulder for a about 4 miles with the flashers on and finally made it off at the Ashland exit. After checking into a hotel, I looked up local repair shops on my laptop and decided that Apar looked like the best bet. It didn't hurt that I was able to make an appointment with them online for the next morning. At the shop the next morning, I spoke with Roy and he said he would call me and let me know what they found. After a few hours he called and said that I would need new CV joints and control arms and he quoted me a price of about $2K, which I found fair after looking it up online. My car is a 2005, so it probably was due for new CV joints anyway! Later in the afternoon, when I picked up the car, I found out that they had to go all the way to Cleveland to pick up the parts, which I really appreciated-- especially on a Friday. The total charges ended up being $200.00 less than what Roy had originally quoted. He also made a point of showing me the parts they replaced and I was able to get back on the road by 3:00 pm. The guys at Apar really did me a solid by getting the parts so quickly and fixing it the same day. My hat is off to them. Thanks, guys! I would hightly recommend this shop based on the way I was treated, their professionalism, and how they went out of their way to help me-- even though I was from out of town and would probably not be a return customer. I also enjoyed hanging out in Ashland for the day, which is a very nice historic Ohio small town. They have a great public library, and the brew pub in town is awesome. Go Ohio!

They got me in quickly and got me a diagnosis for my car.

The guys at APAR we amazing! After taking our vehicle to two other shops with no success APAR quickly diagnosed the problem and had our vehicle ready to go in just a couple days. They kept me up to date throughout everything and pricing was very reasonable! Highly recommend them for anyone needing work done.

I hardly ever leave reviews but feel I needed to this time. We took my car in for a diagnosis after it had trouble starting and the check engine light was on. We did not ok any repairs to be done and nobody reached out for 4 hours after we dropped it off. We ended up getting a call saying that it was a leak in the fuel line and they did the repairs. Nobody asked us if we wanted it done or even an estimate of how much it would cost. They just took it upon themselves to go ahead and do the work and charge us. I'm curious to what would've happened if we didn't have the money to cover it. If you take your vehicle here, make sure they give you an estimate before you end up with a charge you may not be able to cover. We were lucky it wasn't something more expensive. I don't like talking bad about a business but this was handled poorly and they did nothing to make it right. Edit: it's actually way worse than I thought. Not only did they force repairs without asking, the lights that they cleared were back on within 24 hours. The scanner shows 3 codes for emissions leaks, the same reason it was brought in initially. So the problem wasn't fixed and we were charged over 200 dollars for them to clean corrosion on the battery terminal and now the car is in the same condition it was before we brought it in. This is the absolute scammiest experience I've ever had with auto repair. From them deciding to repair it on their own to them not actually even really fixing anything and then still charging us, I highly recommend going anywhere else where they'll actually communicate with you and fix the problem. I have pictures of the same codes coming back on in less than a day and I wish we would've complained more when picking the car up. An absolute waste of time and money that I'm sure they won't make right. Unless your friends with them, save yourself some hassle and just go somewhere, literally anywhere else. The customer service and work performed is subpar and you'd have a better experience just driving your car into a lake.

Great service and fast too! They were able to take care of my brakes and get me back on the road in the same day.

I've been going to Roy and Gary at APAR for the better part of 10 years and they've always treated me well. Reliable service and fair prices...these are two things you need in any good shop.

Got charged for an alignment but the only thing the guy did was center my steering wheel, he put the pieces on the wheels to do an alignment and never did the alignment, had to take vehicle to another shop the next day to get aligned.i will not recommend this place.

Bets mechanic i’ve ever had!!! As a young women i’ve seen plenty of scammers out there and shady shops, but this one is perfect! They are very reasonably priced and honest people! They offered me a ride home after I dropped off my car, which was extremely helpful. Their website is super easy to use & book an appointment and i was able to get in quickly, HIGHLY recommend this shop!

Big shout out they are real deal my car serviced and few days left me stranded Roy and Gary said they would make it right they did more than that I highly recommend them they are the good people we all remember but can't find anymore

APAR is top notch. I was having issues with my vehicle overheating and needed it addressed quickly. They scheduled me in within a few days over a busy holiday weekend and had my vehicle back to me the same day. The employees were polite, efficient and the cost were reasonable. The payment transaction was convenient as you can pay online and pickup can be done after hours at your convenience.

Satisfied customer! APAR has given us good service, timely attention, and reasonable prices. They are great to deal with and follow-up to be sure you are happy working with them. Much appreciated!

From the first call to the followups, every conversation was professional, and very friendly! The quote was spot on. The service was top notch and well priced. Thanks for the work guys!

Very nice people. And very trustworthy I will be taking my car here from now on! I thought my tie rods were bad and the 2 gentlemen that did my car were very nice and very honest they could have told me it was both my tie rods and ball joints if they wanted to but it was only the ball joints and they were very honest and pretty decently priced. If you ever need anything done I highly recommend this place! Thank you APAR!!

These guys are absolutely amazing. They will help you any way they can, they don't sugar coat anything in what's wrong with your vehicle. They go above abs beyond for their customers. I won't go to any other shop but them.

Wonderful service! Scheduling was easy. This year I had regular maintenance, and requested that a noise coming from the front was checked. I was notified when the problem was found and the repairs needed. They found a problem that my previous repair service had not found, and hadn't really listened to my description. The repairs found what could have been a serious safety problem. I am very satisfied with the service at APAR!

I've continued the family tradition of bringing my car here for everything since i got my license. They're the best. Honest, accommodating, trustworthy. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. I appreciate all their hardwork.

Do not go here. My truck's fuel pump stopped working so I had it towed to this shop. I told them I had been having problems with my gas gauge not working and that I think the fuel pump went out. They charged me 600 bucks to fix a corroded wire on my fuel pump and to replace my fuel filter. They called me and said the truck was ready. They didn't replace the fuel pump and the gas gauge still did not work. Ended up going to another place to replace the fuel pump.

I was visiting in town and I'm not sure I would have made it back home without them! I was in and out with 3 major repairs from being hit, they were thorough in fixing everything that needed fixing and had a payment plan option and they were oh so friendly and kind to my daughter and I, like they've known us their whole lives and treated my 5 year old like family! Explained everything in terms I (someone that doesn't know cars) would understand, gave me solid advice and knowledge for the future and even checked in and spoke after I was home with referrals in my area-though I would (if the car scenario worked in the favor) wait and drive to them again to work on my car! My local family now has new mechanics as well! Thanks guys! Great and speedy work!

Great service! My air conditioner works beautifully! I've had many people recommend APAR to me, and I'm pleased with their service and the employees are great! Just had some more work done on my Mazda. The service is great here and I highly recommend APAR.

Great job on our daughter’s car. It drives tight now and we know it was fixed right. Roy and Josh are great to work with and it’s nice to know we can trust them.

My experiences here have always been positive, no matter the problem I take to them. Skilled and Honest shop, very helpful, And have always had me on my way in no time. They are very busy! Because they are good at what they do.
