The first time i used them they were great. This last time not so much. There was work that i had asked to be done and they said they did the work, I know I paid for the work. Later I figured out that they didnt do the work. I called them on it and they said they would make it right just bring it in and they would redo the work. (Oil change & Tire rotation) So I made an appointment. Had to cancel that appointment and then reschedule and again they said just bring it in and they would make it right. I just received a call from them saying I had to pay for services to be performed again that I had already paid for. No thank you, do yourself a favor, find another mechanic.Update--- They called and are willing to make it right. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and try them again.
Excellent work on my car, good prices and friendly employees!
North Wells Service Center is the only place I trust for car repairs. I have been utilizing their services for over 25 years and have never been disappointed or unhappy with their service. Mitch and the entire North Wells Service team are awesome. They are friendly, courteous and explain everything very thoroughly in terms that are understandable to us non-mechanical individuals. They will even try to save you money by suggesting things you can do yourself to fix an issue before you bring it in for service. Being a single female, it is comforting knowing I can trust a service center to be honest and not take advantage of a repair situation I am not familiar with.
Was repaired a day early great service. The “Check Engine Light” was putting out O2 Sensor codes (two of the sensors) but they said sensors were fine the trucks computer needed updated was all. Honest place because they could have easily charge me for new sensors and labor because I told them earlier that I scanned the truck myself and there were O2 Sensor fault codes.
Very competent auto mechanics. Friendly helpful service. Only downside, theyre so good they cant hardly keep up. You might have to wait a bit for them to get you scheduled.
Just a awesome staff very friendly and excellent customer service
Mike & the staff at North Wells did such a great job. They were professional and friendly and got the job done quickly and efficiently. Excellent communication & fair prices, as well. Thank you!
Had a noise coming from my LF brakes. They could have charged me for a complete brake job but they simply removed the 2 small trapped stones and my problem went away. Integrity like this is why I have used NWSC for years and recommend Mitch and team very highly.
I got this bushing replaced 6 months ago. Long story short, I took my Malibu to Goodyear Auto Service, and they could not do my alignment due to a bad bushing. Well, I made Goodyear show me exactly what needed to be done. They showed me, and I needed a new bushing.I am leaving town in 2 days (Monday the 31st) and driving 1,500 miles. Mitch and his crew will not be in the office until Wednesday (the 2nd).I had two options.Wait it out and MAYBE get it done for free, but be in the hole $400 because I would be 2 days late to my destination.My other option was to do it myself and risk the warranty.Verdict.I cannot afford to lose 2 days of driving to my destination. Thank you OReilly Auto Parts for getting me a new bushing. Thank you to John and Evan for replacing my bushing.I am not sure what North Wells Center did to new bushing, but it looks like someone took a tool to get the new bushing back in place. We used a mallet...
Amazing expierience when they worked on my Buick Regal. It was dying on the way to drop the car off and with 1 day of turnaround I was back on the road after my turbo charger went out. These guys saved my car and saved me money while they did it. Will be back for all future repairs!
Everyone likes Johns helpful honesty. Always kind.Afforadable
They are very good people and will work with you. They also have a reeard system when you get your vehicle fix there you get a reward card towards anything you need done in the future
Have been using North Wells since we moved to Ft. Wayne ten years ago and only have excellent things to say. Fair prices, friendly staff, and honest service professionals. Highly recommend!
Very friendly customer service and knowledgeable staff. They Diagnosed issues with with my car and made the necessary repairs at a great price.
Very nice staff. They could have charged me for work that needed done but could be done more cost effective. I thank them for being honest and helpful.
Ask for the owner hes a human wikipedia of knowledge, minus the politics.
I had a radiator hose blow while driving in Fort Wayne on July 3rd. Picked a car repair place, based off of reviews, to have the towing company take my vehicle. However, that place and several other places were closed due to the holiday. Anyways I ended up at North Wells Service Center and they were able to get me in quickly, confirm that the radiator hose had a leak, replace the hose, flush remaining coolant, and fill it with antifreeze all in under an hour. They were priced fairly for the labor and parts.Ill likely never need a repair in Fort Wayne again, but if I do I am going to take it here first.
Were very polite. I brought in a car that I had bought and started having problems with it no more than a week after purchasing and the dealer refused to do anything. So I started looking around to get the car checked out and landed on North Wells Service Center. They were able to get my car in the next day, checked it out and called me with what they found wrong with it, and after giving the go ahead they did the repairs and were able to do everything the same day and the estimate was spot on for the final cost. Very impressed with the work done and how quickly they were able to get my car in and get it fixed.
My brother actually talked to Mike and set everything up. It was painless. He did some AC work for me. I was glad y have my car back the same day. Mike really kept his word. Hard to find these days. And with that being said. Thank you for fixing my ride for my son and I.
Highly Recomend to anyone!! Very friendly staff, they were honest and were able to explain the work that needed to be done. They were able to work around my schedule to fix my car.
My experience with them was great. I have a few more appointments with them, and have every intention of bringing my car back to them. Excellent service. The guys in the shop no exactly what they are doing. Its like a family atmosphere. I would never take my car anywhere but here. Thanks guys for the good work you have done so far. I am very appreciative.
I have never felt more comfortable at a car repair place. Mitch And his crew were so nice and took care of me so well. Both times I went the price was under what they quoted me and you just feel like family. Keep up the great work! You have a customer for life.
Very nice people and they always let you know whats going on and find a fair price.
Friendly owner. Nice shop
I brought my truck in to be diagnosed. I needed a leaking oil seal fixed and I had a wobble that I wasnt sure of. After calling and being told they could get me in the same day. I brought the truck in first thing in the morning. When I dropped it off, they said that they would call me with an estimate. I hadnt heard anything back from them by 12:30 the following day. So I called them. I was told that they didnt even have a chance to get the estimate for the repairs yet and that it was their fault. They called back about an hour later. They said that the wobble was being caused by front rotors and back brakes. However, because they wanted over 400 dollars to fix that, we decided to do that ourselves. I advised them to go ahead and fix the oil seal. I assumed that since they had it for 2 days, they would have it done that day. I didnt receive a call until the following day. (Were on day 3 now.) After, picking it up and replacing the brakes and rotors that they charged me $44 to diagnose, the wobble is still there. The oil seal is leaking worse now than when I brought it in. I wont be bringing any vehicles here in the future.
I received responsible satisfying . services
I was very impressed with North Wells Service Center. They didnt use high pressure tactics to get me to buy more than I needed, the prices were fair, everyone was friendly and helpful, and they got the job finished with quality and timeliness. I am also impressed they offer a rewards program that actually has real benefits. I am a very satisfied customer and would recommend this shop to any family or friends.
I will NEVER take my car anywhere else in Fort Wayne!! Its SO COMFORTING to know that a single female can take her car in to be serviced, and NOT be taken advantage of!!! Thank you again North Wells for keeping my vehicle up and running in tip top shape!! Your professionalism is appreciated, as are your smiles!!!
Seems like a good place with honest people.We had one poor experience. I asked for an evaluation for 2 lights. I made an appointment and left my car for the day. At the end of the day, they had still not even looked at the car. This was very frustrating.From their quote, it seems they use quality parts, which mean they are about twice what we could get them online. But they were willing to install our purchased parts (without warranty) which we appreciated.
I have known Mitch for about 20 years. When I worked for him, I discovered that he was a man of integrity. His mechanics are professionals in every sense of the word. Not only does Mitch diagnose your vehicle, but tells you which repairs are priority and which can wait. He guarantees his work and has a 100% HAPPINESS policy. Well done, Mitch! I would recommend North Wells to everyone I know. Oh, wait, I have! :D
I am so grateful that my friend told me about these guys! They are amazing. First off all, they are extremely professional and personable. Even the mechanics respectfully greeted me in passing, with a genuine smile and pleasant Hello.I had my vehicle to two other mechanics, who replaced things I never approved, and still never fixed the problem I was having. I took my car to North Wells Service Center, and to my surprise, they did everything they could to save me money, including setting my appointment around manufacturers rebates. They also fixed ONLY what I asked them to, and when they found the problem, they told me what it was, and how much it would cost to repair it before they touched it!To my pleasant surprise, they diagnosed the problem accurately, and I can finally feel comfortable driving my vehicle again! If you want honest, professional, timely, excellent service, this is the place to go!!!!!! I encourage ALL single women to take your vehicles here for repair. These are guys that will be honest with you!
You car is no longer covered by a warranty and you wonder where you can take your car to get honest and reliable maintenance done....well...North Wells service center is your answer.The owner, Mitch, is very honest, friendly, and straightforward about any work the needs to be done. Their rates are fair and they have a great rewards program that helps to keep the costs down for future visits. They will do their best to shuttle you to work if needed. I have been bringing my Honda Fit to Mitch for the past 3 years and have been very pleased! Give him a call today!
Theyre helpful and nice mechanics
We found out about NWSC via a friend and are thankful. When we got new cars and they ended up being Priuses, our former mechanic was out of their element and, for a while, we were stuck with paying dealership mechanics and their $150 just to drive in their shop fees. From our first scheduled routine maintenance trips to NWSC, we knew we were in good hands, getting a print up of what items were taken care of as well as a prioritized list of things which would eventually need to be taken care of. Now I make sure to recommend NWSC if anyone needs vehicular work.
My visit to North Wells was very pleasing and beneficial. We have been going to North Wells for nearly 28 years now and find the service very good. Mitch and his mechanics always know what they are doing and preform the work as quickly and accurately as is humanly possible. We recommend them to any one needing auto work.
Without sharing too many details, just want to say these folks are always kind and helpful to this handicapped senior on a tight budget. They go above and beyond to make sure I’m safe and well taken care of. You can certainly trust these fine people.
Been coming here for years. Always good and trustworthy service. Highly recommend.
Outstanding customer service, reasonable prices and no trying to sell me on a repair I didn’t need. I’ll be returning to North Wells Service Center whenever my vehicle needs service. So grateful to have found a reliable mechanic that I can trust!
This is the most trustworthy shop in town. Everyone is great to work with and they go above and beyond to make sure that youre happy. I take all of my vehicles here and I refer everyone I know to them. I could not be more happy with their service.
Well I took my car to Midas because they were closed on Saturday and the brakes were acting weird it was the brake booster Midas told me I needed new brake pads and rotors as well it would be 963.23 to fix it so Monday I brought my car here and they are so honest the front brakes were 70% left and the rotors were new WOW I understand why customers can’t trust auto shops but here at north wells service they were honest it only cost me 415.32 unbelievable Midas would try a trick like that
Nice guys. Knowledge. Quick on service. Im a new customer and great experience.
Needed to have my particulate filter cleaned. Paid 200 dollars to have my service lights turned off and they told me that they were working on my car when I saw it sitting in the same parking spot for hours and they insulted me because of the car I drive. At the end of it they said the filter was too dirty to clean and to either buy a new car or wait until it gets worse and pay them $3500. Never coming here again
I will always take my vehicles here. The folks at North Wells are always honest, courteous, and try to find a way to get repairs done quickly and inexpensively while maintaining a high level of quality.They do all the legwork to be the liaison between you and your warranty company, leaving you with no worries.Look, nobody likes taking their car in to be fixed, but they make the process as painless as possible, and I wont do my business anywhere else.Dont believe me? Look at all the 5 star ratings and call me a liar.
Very professional. Courteous. And conscientious.
Very professional and helpful! One of the mechanics rode in my car with me to help identify the problem instead of just hooking it up to a diagnostic machine. He communicated what they were going to do to service my car and then shuttled me to and from the garage.
I was certain my cars front-end was broken and that I was in for thousands of dollars in repairs. Turns out, the power steering belt had jumped. I paid one hour of the mechanics time. This is the second time this shop *could* have made a lot of money off of me and I wouldnt have been the wiser. Integrity like this is so rare and so redeeming in these times. A sincere Thank you to everyone at North Wells Service Center.
Got a quote for a 01 Escort. All I need is a tune-up, but insisted on $28.29 diagnostic too. Ill accept that, but had to push to get estimate before taking it in. $199.27 includes $50 labor, but not diagnostic?? So its $227.56 for a tune-up on a 4 cylinder? AutoZone has parts for around $50. This garage must use gold plated parts. RIP OFFS!!!
An honest shop. Have been there a few times for tires and alignments. Very fair pricing and I have never had to wait long for the work to be done.
We used North Wells Service Center for work on our 2005 Chevy Colorado Service truck and they were extremely informative and polite throughout the entire process. The pricing was below what we expected and we will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you for your help and I would recommend them to anyone.
Absolutely love North Wells Service Center. Always friendly and knowledgeable. Mitch is FANTASTIC! Great rewards program!
The service performed by North Wells was first rate and timely. I asked that besides the Road-Ready service, they check out why the ABS light was on. When I picked up the car, I was told why the light was on and what needed to be done to correct the problem. I liked that they were honest with me and did not try to force a repair that was not mandatory. I trust North Wells with all my automotive repair needs.
North Wells Service Center has the makings of a local mom-and-pop feeling mechanic. Although there are some administrative shortcomings, they are a hard-working, honest, genuine team. They get the job done at a great price, with a grateful attitude, and genuine care for your experience. These, I would argue, are the important qualities of a mechanic.
Very affordable full service vehicle repair and friendly staff to boot!!
My car needed suspension work. After looking online, I decided to take it to North Wells Service Center. Im glad I did. They fixed it in less than a day, for less than I had been quoted elsewhere. And they did a safety inspection on the rest of the car while they had it in the shop. Top notch service all the way around!
Long story short, had a costly repair. Spoke with Mitch and explained my situation and options. He and his crew got it done with minimal stress! I could NOT find a better shop to trust my vehicles with! Mitch is ALWAYS there, ALWAYS willing to help, and ALWAYS about quality of service to the customer! He proudly stands behind and guarantees ANY work his crew does, and THATS why I will continue to rely on him!
Came here for a maintenance visit and theyve a long term customer in me. They explained me the problem and made sure I dont pay more than I needed to.Mitch was very kind and helpful to talk to. He even gave me a ride to and from work.Totally recommend this place!
Great customers service. Trustworthy and helpful!
My car was done quickly for a good price. I will be back!
They took great care of my truck, all while saving me money! Thanks guys! The quick turnaround was awesome!
Took my truck in for a plugged heater core. Not only did they get it opened up, but found a few other problems with the heating and cooling system. Excellent job! Very satisfied!
If you are looking for a place that is honest and does great work I would highly recommend North Wells Service Center .
Trustworthy and affordable! I can now keep my car longer because of their affordable service and knowledgeable technicians! I truly found a treasure in Fort Wayne!
Great service! Mitch is really friendly and his workers are all honest, friendly and do great work! They are helpful and describe what needs to be done to your car. You get discounts too!
I brought my diesel truck in for a transmission oil change; they ended up changing the engine oil, and doing a flush on my Allison... yes they flushed an Allison (FYI anyone who knows anything about Allisons will tell you thats one of the worst things you can do to it). A few months later Im towing my sisters stuff for a move to Texas in a 24 car hauler, and my transmission throws P0741, overheats, with the torque converter clutch all but disintegrating in Texarkana (the guy who replaced it removed chunks from the lines).So here I am after thousands spent for a dealer new Allison 1000 telling everyone: do not bring your Duramax to this shop. They also charged me for the oil change I didnt request, after being told I wouldnt be charged for it... pretty sure they flush transmissions to charge for more labor than a drain & fill; all to save me $15 for a spin-on filter...
I needed to have my brakes done and had these folks replace them for me. Excellent service and very timely in getting things done. Very professional...Only thing I wish is that they had an easier place to get in and out of but the quality of service and expertise make up for that.
Staff is very friendly. Service is done right the first time. Will let you know what needs done and what can wait.
Honest and quick service. Didnt try to upsell me or con me into repairs I didnt need but honestly noted what I need in the future. First time customer but I think they have a customer for life.
Best service center Ive ever went to and they have a rewards program!
The staff was very helpful knowledgeable and was done at a reasonable price way sooner than promised. I am very pleased and have been recommending them to everyone
Great service for our company.On time as needed at a fair price.We will be bringing our fleet of trucks to North Wells Service Center from now on.Jeff ZolnikAccount ManagerRose Pest Solutions3702 North Wells St.Ft.Wayne,In.46808
Excellent customer service. Honest employees who wont try to rip you off.
We always receive prompt service and quality work from North Wells Service Center. We have four vehicles and really appreciate the email reminders as well as the detailed records that they keep on each vehicle. Thank you for all that you do!!
They do a fantastic job on ones car repairs. Honest and fair and they dont make any unnecessary repairs.
We took our cars to North Wells for about 5 years. We felt like they were honest and helpful...until this last situation. It still makes me upset and disappointed.My van has been making a loud squealing sound for a while now, so we took it in to check it out. They told us we needed to replace the alternator. We jumped the gun and had them replace it. It was over $500. Afterwards we realized we shouldve asked around. The sound did not go away and we were told by others that it couldve been any of 3-5 different problems and they shouldnt have gone straight to the most expensive possible solution.They then tried to replace a belt but it didnt take care of the squealing, so then they were going to do something else that wouldve cost over a couple hundred dollars. At this point we felt like they were just fishing around and really had no idea what was wrong.At this point I went in to request that they refund some of the cost for the alternator since it obviously wasnt a problem. This is when it gets ridiculous.The man I spoke to proceeded to tell me that the alternator did fix the sound but now there was a new sound. I explained to him it was my vehicle that I drove and the sound was no different but he insisted it was a different sound, it just sounds the same. 😠He then wanted us to spend more money to fix another possible solution for this new sound. Suffice it to say we will never go back.They have lost our business and any possible referrals we would have given them.
Like that they test first and repair only what needs to be replaced. Notified me first on what they were going to do since is was more than my approved amount.Mitch has a new customer. I will be back for further needs. Thanks Mitch and crew for a job well done.
I always get great service from North Wells! Very knowledgeable staff and friendly service. They even offer coupons, which I love!
I have taken my vehicle to North Wells Service Station a few timesto have work completed. The staff are always freindly. The prices are as reasonable as I have gotten anywhere and the work is top notch. North Wells will always be the first place I call to have work completed on my vehicle.
Always does a great job.
Busted a balljoint passing though FT Wayne. It was froze in place so i couldnt fix it in a parking lot. I called them and they charged me a decent price to do all 4, had the truck done ahead of time. Im an ASE certified mechanic myself and can easily tell when someone is trying to rip you off. These guys are not at all like that. Honest and their mechanics know what they are doing. Id go here again if it wasnt 500 miles from my house.
This in the 2nd time Ive used North Wells Service Center in the last three years, and I have to say, I do like working with them. I drove over to NWSC yesterday. One of their techs took a ride with me and diagnosed the problem. They called me today, confirmed the problem, provided me a quote, and answered all my questions.Very professional. Very informative. The type of small business you love working with!
Great reliable and friendly service. Definitely recommend!
Very professional and friendly. Service is pricey, but they do an excellent job and stand behind their work.
Always a good experience. Slightly more than other places but worth it for peace of mind.
I was driving along about 3 weeks ago in pouring sheets of rain. My vehicle (2001 Hyundai Sonata GLS) suddenly started sputtering and lurched forward. Check engine light came on, extreme loss of power. Pulled to the side, couldnt find anything wrong. Was going to be 3 hours until I could get a tow, so I said forget it and drove it 7 miles home. Had it towed to Michael Tire in Columbia City, where they took two whole days to tell me there wasnt anything wrong with it. Charged me 98$ to diagnose Nothing wrong. Got into my vehicle, and the check engine light is still on. Went back inside, waited another 5 minutes, and pushed the issue. According to them THAT go around the code was for a random misfire and should have been cleared. My car was fine to drive.When I pushed a little harder (i.e. got loud in front of other customers) it was revealed that my car was too old, and foreign to be able to test any further. It was suggested I take it to a dealer. Ive been driving it around since then, and since its fine to drive have noticed I have loss of power and lost approximately 8mpg fuel economy (120 mile loss per tank). ___________________________________________________________________________________Frustrated, I began searching for a reputable service shop, and found this one via google. With 13 (at the time of this post) 5 star google reviews, I figured it was well worth a shot.North Wells Service Center received the above information via their online contact form around 9pm one night, and responded by 8am the very next day, assuring me that my car was neither too told nor too foreign. Kind and friendly staff, willing to listen, laugh, and honestly let me blow off a little steam.I scheduled an appt for a diagnostic this morning, and they offered me free shuttle service back to my home ( across Fort Wayne). Within 2 hours THEY had called ME with a quote that was + $250 less than what Michael Tire had quoted me. That quote also included the parts and labor not only to fix my engine issue, but to get my windshield washer mechanism working, and fix the headlight Ive been putting off. Every person I have talked to has been knowledgeable and friendly. They took the time to explain each repair and the costs / labor associated with it. I felt comfortable at the end of the conversation, knowing that my problem is finally going to be solved, at a fair price.I am thankful to have found my way to North Wells Service Center and hope to be a loyal customer for many years to come!
They did a great job at a fair price in a timely manner. Well be back next time we need them.
I have been a customer of North Wells Service Center for over 20 years. Why? Because they do the job right.I highly recommend them- and have for a very long time!
Genuine service with fair pricing compared to the local competition.
