Ruark & Sons Automotive in
Sunbury (OH)

Love this shop for the skill, experience, and honesty I get with every visit. This time they were able to fix an AC with a bearing going out and helped us weigh the cost benefits between remanufactured or new parts based on the overall condition of the truck and our expectations for it. The prices are more than fair with much better customer service, service times and communication than other shops I've used. Highly recommend

Fast and friendly, same day service. Honest responses about the wheel bearings and the starter ignition. They test drove my 2009 Pontiac Vibe after repair. I’ll be seeing them again!

Ruark and Sons have worked on my cars for five years. Not only did they have excellent diagnostic skills, but I’ve also talked to them advice on Selling a vehicle or to continue to put more money into repairs. When I have had to wait on my car for an oil change, it’s always done within an hour.

Best Auto place in Columbus! I fully trust them in what ever they say I need! They do not try to "sell" you repairs. They treat you like family. Thank you for take such great care of us!!

Had them check my truck’s cooling system. Easy communication with them, faster turnaround than I expected! Jason was fantastic to talk with. Jason gave me few easy things that should be done on my truck due to mileage and an engine code I said I would knock them out when I change my oil next but they knocked one out for me. Easy peasy 10 out of 5 stars would recommend!!!

Brought car in for maintenance on TMS and oil change. Fixed … car was ready within 3 hours. These guys are the nicest ever and so honest. Definitely will be using their services in the future!

The best part of Ruarks is you can trust what they say. Finding a repair shop that is honest and not just out to gouge you for money is hard to find these days. Their work is quality. We have been customers of theirs for a long time and will continue to be.

Had a great experience! Was able to drop off and pick up my car after hours with ease. Service was amazing and very affordable.

Been using them for many years. They are great to work with. Honest, professional, kind with fast turnaround. Only great things to say!

Best of the best! Always excellent customer service, going above and beyond the call of duty. They are always honest about what work really needs done. They keep my old Honda going!

Ruark and Sons is amazing! Communication is always excellent, they are honest and trustworthy. I had an issue with my brakes and I was able to drop my car off because I was going out of town. They addressed the issue before anticipated and I was able to get my car. Awesome service!

I always feel confident that my Toy 4-Runner is in good hands. Alex and Joe are honest and will give me “pros vs cons” and “what I’d do…”. I recommend them all the time for reliable auto maintenance and repair.

Ruark & Sons did another amazing job servicing my car. I had it towed on Wednesday to their shop and they were able to get a new starter installed, my oil changed and tires rotated the next day! They exceeded my expectations as always! Thank you Joe, Alex and Jason for superior customer care. Thanks to your other outstanding employees as well. Your dad should be very proud of raising two fine men with great work ethic and quality care of their business and customers.

Ruark and Sons always provides stellar services to our car when attentions are needed. The recently visit exemplifies their professionalism and friendliness. Not only they helped fix the issue with my Honda pilot I brought to them, but also identified several more severe ones that I need to take actions immediately. Both their staffs, Joe and Jason, showed me in great details of such issues and recommended a body shop for me to reach out for repair. I have used their services for multiple years and am always pleased with it.

I have always went there with my cars and my car Honda 2024 was making a noise from the steering rack they told me. Instead of being one of the other auto shops tbh told me it should be covered under my Honda warranty this place will give you the best results they are honest which is super hard to find. I appreciate everything they do for all my cars and now I don’t have to spend 6000$ on this part because it is covered under the warranty!

I have been taking my (320k) car to Ruark and Sons every 7500 miles for over 250k miles. They've kept the engine running in excellent condition, well after the manual's maintenance schedule expired. I have every bit of confidence that if I continue to let them execute their automotive wizardry my odo will roll over 400k and I think it's a very real possibility that I can hit 500,000. But what I really like about this shop and what I tell others who ask is: they won't do unnecessary work. Several times Aex has literally talked me out of spending money at the shop by saying something like 'we'll do that for you if you want us to, but you don't need it and it's a lot to spend on a car with 300,000 miles.' They've loaned me vehicles, made recommendations for what car to buy my son, multiple times have given rides to work or back home in their personal vehicles when I've dropped my car off, Jason asks about my dog every time i come in, once they even stayed open after hours on valentines day so Tommy could repair a bad tire and made sure Id make it to my date on time. As Sunbury grows I think it's awesome that Ruark and Son's still has that 'small town feel.' I believe they are really good people and their service is wholly unmatched.

I have been taking my vehicles to Ruark and Sons for over a decade. They are honest, reliable and trustworthy. They help me keep my older vehicles on the road, and the price is always reasonable. I highly recommend this shop.

Ruark & Sons Automotive always does a great job! They are very knowledgeable and take the time to explain what needs to be done and why. They are honest and very fair with pricing. I highly recommend them!

We just moved to Ohio a couple years ago and it was stressful looking for an automotive repair shop that we could trust. Ruark & Sons was highly recommended by some friends, and now, we highly recommend them too. Fair, honest, trustworthy.

I had a tire issue that needed to fixed in a hurry. They were very considerate in my situation. I have been having car services completed there for at least 10 years and the people there are very nice. I strongly recommend this garage for excellent auto service

Been dealing with Ruark and Sons since I retired 11 years ago. They have always treated me right and this repair went above what they needed to do. They replaced my brakes three years ago, and they had been pulsating when I went to stop. When they checked out what was wrong, they found the pads still within specks, but was causing the problem. They checked on the warranty, which was out of manufacture and decided to give me the parts for their cost. It is great dealing with a mom and pop business that takes care of their customers. Thank you Alex, Joe and Jason!

Ruark & Sons is the only mechanic we use. Their honesty and candidness about any car issues we’ve ever had has always been beyond trustworthy. They are the best!

I’ve been bringing my car to Ruark & Sons for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. The entire team is honest, knowledgeable, and dependable — qualities that are hard to find these days. They take the time to explain what’s going on, never try to upsell unnecessary work, and always get the job done right the first time. Whether it’s routine maintenance or a tricky repair, I know my car is in great hands. It’s a relief to have a mechanic I can truly trust. I highly recommend Ruark & Sons to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality auto service!

The team at Ruark’s is A+! We’ve used them for many years and have never had a bad experience. They are knowledgeable, honest, kind and have their customers best interest at heart. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ruark and Sons for all your vehicle needs!

Ruark always goes above and beyond!! They take great care of their customers and ensure the work completed is done correctly. The employees are very friendly and are masters at their trade. This shop is dependable and trustworthy. We are blessed to have them in Sunbury.

Great experience at Ruark. I just needed a screw removed from a tire. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and work was quick and affordable. We’ll call again next time we need an automotive repair.

This is a very trustworthy operation. We were quoted 1250.00 on an oil pan for our Lincoln and when we paid they said they found a cheaper one. They saved us 200.00. If we took it to the dealer they quoted us 2000.00!! Love these guys!!
