Ralph's Automotive & Repair

Good old family shop

Just took my car in as my father was at a loss for how to fix it. They had my car less then a week and got it back to pretty much old, just a much more sensative break. They were really nice and had no problem letting me ""test"" drive my car before paying and leaving. They also made sure to take my stereo face off to protect it from theft, very appreciated. Best of all they did not try to over charge for the service. The bill was actually a lot lower then I planned for. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to them.

I've been taking vehicles of our family's and referring other family and friends to Ralph's Automotive for 34 years. I've never had any problem with anything they have done. My children now live in Cincinnati and Columbus and I have each of them drive their vehicles back to Ralph's when they need service. As a father, there is a high level of trust I have in Ralph's to work on vehicles my children will be driving. I'd take 34 years of positives over one questionable negative.

The business was open & mechanics were working. The car had an intermitent no start. While we had it, the car never acted up, after 12 days we did give up. We apologized several times about theft of CD player & called the Vandalia Police Depart. for them, which is public record. We have signs posted ""not responsible for stolen property in cars left with us"". I have 1 question, is it...

My family has been using ONLY Ralph's Automotive & Repair for as long as I can remember. My father, who was once Mayor of Vandalia, swore by Ralph's for his honesty and excellent service and repair. My Grandfather also only used Ralph's and he was one tough customer. We love Ralph's. The Lakin Family.
