After going various places during the many years I've owned an automobile I have finally found my ideal service center. Service is always friendly, prices are reasonable and I always feel as if the best job possible has been done on my vehicle. They are always willing to answer questions and they back up their work. I would suggest anyone take their car to this business

I did not make an appointment but needed service quickly. They were truly accommodating and efficient. Awesome customer service is rare in this day and time. I will make sure to bring my car to them in the future.

Stopped at Tuffy to have my brakes checked. During inspection they found that I needed the axle on the drivers side replaced and it was in pretty bad shape. Had the work done & my car rides like a dream. Funny thing is that I had my car into the dealership for an oil change and tire rotation a couple of weeks prior and they never said a word. Pretty scary, as something could have happened on the highway had this not been found. Thank you George and the wonderful staff at Tuffy.

I stopped in to get an oil change. Upon inspection they discovered that I needed a wheel bearing and stabilizer arm replaced. I had the work done and my car rides 100% better. George and his staff were very cordial and did great work. Thank you!

This was the first time I went to tuffy and I am very pleased with the service I received. I made my appointment with Mike and he was very friendly and extremely helpful! He took his time and went the extra miles to look up parts on my car. I called and got an appointment for my time frame and very quickly. I really appreciate making an appointment and them actually taking me at that time. I will definitely be back.

I have been going to Amherst Tuffy for years and am still amazed and so appreciative of the service. George takes the time to explain my options and shows me what I need for my vehicle and why. I always trust the advice that I am given and feel like he gives me the best deal and looks for ways to save me money. Everyone there seems to have the same friendly and helpful attitude!

Very accommodating when my son from Wilmington, Ohio stopped by unannounced with an exhaust issue. Staff was able to take care of the issue temporarily at my request, which allowed my son to get back to his hometown in order to get the bigger problem taken care of. Would highly recommend!

I was packing up my truck to go out of town for the weekend and noticed a screw lodged in my rear tire. I was short on time but it needed fixed ASAP. The guys at Tuffy Amherst got me in and out in about 20 minutes. Great service!

On the way to drop my daughter off at college our tire blew out on the freeway and ruined the wheel as well. We couldn't have been luckier to end up at Tuffy's in Amherst. They went over and above to help us quickly and retrieve parts all the way from Mentor. Extremely friendly service. Definitely Ohio's best.

We have been taking our family cars in to Tuffy for service and tires for more than 2 years. Have had everything done from new tires to air conditioning. George, Arran and the entire staff are most helpful and courteous. Work is done as promised, correctly and at the price that was discussed. Plan on keep going back to Tuffy Amherst for a long time to come!
