    EDIT: After posting my review, John Clay reached out to me personally to discuss the additional repairs I had done to my car after the repairs his garage had done. He apologized for my need to go to another mechanic and offered to pay for those additional repair costs. I came in today for that repayment and John Clay came to talk with me personally to apologize again and made everything right. I commend his professionalism and his willingness to make things right. I definitely recommend (and my mom, who lives locally, very well might change her mechanic to Kohn Clay as well). I came to John Clay Automotive over Thanksgiving break while visiting my family (I am currently going to school out of state). My engine light had come on during my drive up to Kentucky and the issue was there were holes in my coolant system and the liquid was pouring all over my car. I needed to get new hoses and a completely new system, in general, to fix the issue. They also needed to clean the space to make sure no damage was done. I spent a little over 1k, which I felt was fair for the amount of work they had to do. However, when I returned to school, I had no heat and my engine light briefly came on again. I went to a local mechanic and the issue was the new hose John Clay Automotive put into my car was not properly secured and the liquid was, once more, spilling everywhere. I had to spend another $200+ to have everything flushed out and cleaned again to fix the simple issue of the new hose not being properly secured/installed by John Clay Automotive. I understand it was the holiday season, however, I made the people I was speaking to at John Clay aware that I would be traveling for 10 hours and I was given a car that had not been given proper attention. I should have been wary when I retrieved my car from John Clay and they had not noticed my tail and break lights were out. I gave the excuse that the issues they were dealing with were at the front of the car and that is where their focus was. However, with the issue of the hose, I wonder if the person/people working on my car just didn’t go over my car thoroughly enough. This was not my usual mechanic, as they were closed during the break, but I will not be coming to John Clay Automotive again.

    I am a returning customer to John Clay Automotive, and have no intentions of ever seeking out another mechanic. The staff here are always very friendly, knowledgeable, and fair in all aspects. Both times my vehicle has needed serviced, the work has always been completed in a timely manner. I have no complaints, only praises of my experiences at John Clay Automotive!
