I became a part of the Tuffy Familia last spring. I knew exactly what was wrong with my truck and all symptoms revealed a possible a/c compressor needed replaced. My friend that diagnosed it was an Certified mechanic. He made a practice never to work on friends or family vehicles personally. However, he did refer me to go to Tuffy on Leona Street. He assured me that they will diagnose the problem and was 100% certain they would come up with the solution and not say I needed an a/c compressor which is an expensive repair. I made my appointment with "Jesse" and dropped off my truck that evening. About an hour later Jesse called and said they are not certain if it was my compressor. However, he did suggest that it will take more troubleshooting and quoted me the hourly rate. He was very professional and understood my concerns. I approved his recommendations. The next morning Jessie called with estimate and let me talk to his tech "Cliff". Cliff explained exactly what was wrong and indicated I had a corroded wire from the relay to the actual clutch on the compressor causing it not to activate the compressor. I approved the repairs and they only charged me for the wire, labor and diagnostics. They even assured me I had enough refrigerant in the system and it has been working beautifully ever since. I can only imagine what other places would say and charge me for something I didnt need all over a corroded wire !! I recommended Tuffy to my neighbor and he has all of his repairs preformed there as well !! You can stop by there any time and Jesse and the entire staff are always ready to help!! I feel like family there !! They offer fresh coffee and have an amazing waiting room with a leather couch and large television to pass the time..... THANK YOU TUFFY FAMILIA !!

Good work is not cheap, Cheap work is not good!!. The guys at Tuffy Elyria have always done good work for me and my Company. We have experienced nothing but professional workmanship for over 20 years. Prices are fair and reasonable. More importantly, they get the repair done promptly. Recently Jessie came to my shop to look and quote a custom exhaust system on a special truck restoration we doing. We took the truck in, MIchael performed the custom work. Dual exhausts, custom bending, chrome tips, etc. Excellent Job! And the final bill was less than we anticipated. I would recommend Elden Lattea and his Professional Staff to anyone. You can trust they wont rip you off and they"ll do it right. Thanks Guys!

Im generally not a fan of these types of auto lube places (I do most of my car maintenance/repair myself) but when I was stranded on I-80 near Elyria, OH, I had to take my car to this location. They were really busy but once they knew I was in a jam they made the effort to squeeze me in. Jesse (guy at the front desk) and Andrew (mechanic) took a good look at my car and were able to quickly diagnose a minor problem with my radiator. Given my situation they really could have taken me for a lot of money, but instead they showed me what was wrong, topped off my fluids, and didnt charge me anything. A+ for these guys for being friendly and honest!!!

THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING! my car started sounding like a small aircraft and I thought my muffler was going to fall off on my way to work. They let me pop in early in the morning and they checked out the problem and gave me options. Being a single woman, these guys are better than rent a husband. They didnt treat me like I didnt know anything and they didnt try to take advantage of the situation. They fixed my problem and I was off to work within the hour. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends, because ladies, you can trust these guys!!!

I cannot tell you all the experiences, because we have four cars, and I have four kids that I sometimes assist with Car repairs. We almost always take the cars to this Tuffy location. TRUST and Confidence in these people is suppier to any other Car repair shop I have ever seen. They always do excellent work at what I believe are the fairest prices, and even consider special situations when someone is in need. They also will do some custom exhaust with you, and we never have to go back for anything they had recently done.

Great mechanics and great family!! My wipers and the buttons for my radio behind the steering wheel stopped working. I called and was told to bring it in the next day ASAP! The mechanic checked for easy fixes like the fuses for free! My luck it was not an easy fix. They ordered the part and fixed it the same day! This place is not just some oil change garage! They do sooo much and with a real smile. You will wish you were part of the family when you visit Tuffy on Leona St. in Elyria Ohio!

Not recommended if you are female or look like you know little to nothing about your vehicle!!! Nearly 20 yesterday ago, I brought husbands truck in to get a price on muffler pipe repair/replacement. After they "checked" it, gave me the estimate, I left to go pick husband up about 30 minutes away. The entire muffler system, the muffler and the pipes my husband wanted replaced ALL fell off. Dont know if theyre still like this as weve never been back to that shop.

The service here is more than delightful!! We were visiting from out of town and our muffler needed to be replaced. We called and was seen right away. He even waited for us to take family pictures (reunion) and we were out of there in less than 20 minutes!!! The mechanic, I cant think of his name, was awesome!!! My kid was grumpy and he gave him donut sticks to calm him down, which worked!!! I wished I could give them 100 stars!!!!

Just want to say THANK YOU guys! I went from IL to NJ when something happened with my power steering. These guys found problem in 5 minutes, gave me estimate on change parts, but said if I dont want to repair the car immediately they wouldnt force me to do it. After that they used temporary solution, said that I can continue and enjoy my trip. And didnt take any penny for this. Thank you!

Its hard to find an honest mechanic anymore, Tuffy on Leona is always honest and fair with me. Their prices are very competitive. They are always willing to help me out in a jam. I always forget to schedule oil changes, I just walk in and they take me. They are very acomidating and willing to do backflips for the customers. Bottom line I would higly recomend anyone to Tuffy on Leona!

I have used this location for many years. They are always up front and helpful in explaining what repairs are needed, which are the most important, and suggesting possible solutions. Always impressed with their friendliness and professionalism. I continue to use this location because of these reasons and will recommend them to others.

Simply stated: Exceptional professionalism, fast turnaround and unquestionable integrity. I continue to bring my business to them for over 10 years now, even though I have moved relatively far away;it is very rare today to find a team, such as this one, that I have complete trust in and they have never let me down.
