What clients say about Locke Automotive LLC in Malta (OH)
Bought a used truck from Carter about a month and a half ago, everything worked great but when the first snow hit the 4x4 did not want to engage so I shot him a quick message to ask if he would mind scanning it for codes so I would have an idea where to start and not only was he more than willing to help he got me in quick, diagnosed the problem provided a part number and even a time when I could bring it if I wanted some help putting the part in...well I had my Tuesday and Thursday mixed up and ended up showing up on the wrong day and he still made time for it and got me in and out. This was a used truck and was as is he didn't have to take a look at anything but that's not how they do business, if you need mechanic work done or you see a used on their lot that you like do not hesitate they will not hide anything any issues they know of will be told up front. There isn't many around like this anymore. 11/10

A little over a year I took my work vehicle to Zanesville, to have a “ colorful dash fixed. They changed the rear axels and said it was fixed. I had to wait almost 6 months to retrieved it, got to S & S and low behold it lite up again. I drove it, got weary being a mail carrier, no service, houses far and between. I came across another Jeep, purchased it. As time went by, Locke Automotive was on my route. I got a couple chances to talk to the mechanics, Carter and thought about whether to give another mechanic a chance or hang it up. As time went by I noticed more activity going on, Carter was putting everything in this business and hired respectful employees. I took a chance, dropped it off. Carter kept me informed with every step that was being done. Within a few weeks it was fixed, I drove it home, no lights! I would highly recommend Locke Automotive to anyone who has an issue with their vehicle.
Took an Equinox with high mileage to Carter to fix some fuel delivery issues. I was able to get it scheduled in less than a week and he contacted me after his initial diagnosis explaining the issues. He was very thorough and involved me in the decision making process to make the necessary repairs. I highly recommend Locke Automotive for your vehicle repairs.
Never been disappointed when going through him. Price is reasonable more than reasonable in my opinion. Would definitely recommend if you need any work done.
“Hands down the best shop I’ve been to. Carter really came through when I needed help and did an excellent job. I’ll definitely be coming back to him for any future car issues.”
Ive always went to carter for all of my car issues and today i traded in my old car and he helped me make a deal on a new car he had and i am 150% satisfied with my new car. If u have any issues from work needing done to a different vehicle, locke automotive is the place to go!
I had a great experience with Locke Automotive! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and kept me updated every step of the way. The communication was clear and efficient, which made the entire process smooth. They also worked fast—my car was towed around 1:30 PM on Thursday and was ready by mid-afternoon on Friday. It was a quick turnaround, and I really appreciated how they got everything done so promptly. Highly recommend Locke Automotive for their excellent service and quick, reliable work!
Carter was able to get my jeep assessed and diagnosed, and back on the road in no time for me! It’s running great, again thanks to Locke’s Automotive 😊 Thank you!!
Carter is knowledgeable and excellent to work with. I had an electrical problem with my car and he identified the issue and fixed it. Give him a call if you need a mechanic!
I was having a problem with my van starting and it wasn’t the battery. Locke Automotive found the issue and fixed it for a super reasonable price! He also fixed my sliding door issue!! It’s so nice to have a reliable mechanic in our community!!
Carter was quick to get my oil change finished! He allowed me to drop it off the night before and it was finished when I got home from work. Such a reasonable price. Will definitely be using this small business from now on.
I see good things and hear good things I personally haven’t had any work done yet but I sure will … and this is coming from another bussiness man !!!! Keep it up mannn
My experience with Locke Automotive was awesome!! Carter was easy to deal with and the service was fast and reasonably priced. I will use them for all my future mechanical repairs.
First off, Sold my new daily to me, a beautiful F250 powerstroke that still runs and drives like brand new, He also saved me over 1k in work on my “racecar” when the local drive thru oil change business used an impact on my drain plug and subsequently caused me to round off my drain plug bolt. Last but not least most recently, did a transmission job for my gf’s ford fiesta and took the liberty of diagnosing any other problems we might have with the car, and was WAY cheaper than the dealership would’ve charged. Dealership wanted over 8k for all the work and parts, Locke only cost a quarter of that, and the car runs like brand new now! Couldn’t suggest a better mechanic to take your vehicles to!
I was able to get an appointment quickly, the communication throughout the repair was excellent and I got my vehicle back sooner than expected at a reasonable price.
I hit a deer while visiting my sister in Ohio and while inspecting my vehicle I noticed the serpentine belt was frayed. I called several different places only to have no one call me back or flat out flake on me. Then I called locke automotive and Carter had me bring my vehicle right in right away not only did he fix the problem in a very prompt matter he was very kind and professional. And all around nice guy. His shop was immaculate and he had a very nice office that was inviting. He kept in contact with me the whole time and kept me up to date on everything that was going on as well as keeping the price very fair. I was blessed to be able to have Carter fix my car He's a very smart businessman and I would absolutely bring my vehicle back there I highly recommend you bringing your car there for any repairs This was such a great experience I'm so thankful for a locke automotive and for Carter! If I could give more stars I would.
Dropped truck off Saturday morning to get heater core replaced. He called me Sunday and told me it was done. This young man was fast and efficient. Highly recommend him.
I take all my vehicles to Locke Automotive, reasonable labor rates and Honest work. He takes the time to listen and fixes what’s wrong! I would give 6 stars if that was an option
