S&H Auto Repair

Check out this 5 star Google Reviews review by Holly Reed:
I am a UA student who is not from the Akron area and usually go to a mechanic when I visit my parents at home. When my car started making a terrible noise (like I was riding a rollercoaster up a big hill) I panicked, thinking the wheel bearing had gone loose. I went to the closest auto repair shop to UA's main campus, afraid that if I went to far my wheel would fall off. I went to S&H Auto Repair a little worried about going to a new car mechanic, but this shop now has a new customer for life. An aluminum sheet underneath my car had fallen down and was sitting on the axle, making a terrible noise. The guys at S&H took it out and fixed my car for FREE since it was such a small, simple issue. They didn't try to sell me parts I didn't need, diagnosed the issue quickly, and were just very nice people overall. 100% would recommend this shop to anyone in the Akron area.
