Luke's Auto Service
Having moved to the Columbus area 2 years ago, and needing a reputable service / repair facility, I looked online and inquired of friends. Luke's kept rising to the top. My car is a 2016 and doesn't need repairs at this time but I need a trustworthy shop for oil changes, tire rotation etc. I brought my 2016 Buick Encore to Luke's on 12/04/2020 and found the work to be first class. In addition to the O.C. & Rotation, they also claimed to do a multi point inspection of essential areas. At checkout, Josh informed me that my battery (rated @ 525 CCA - cold cranking amps) was only producing 320 CCA - which would result in a non-starting morning sometime this winter. He also said my coolant level was down a small amount - no leaks, and they topped that off pro- bono. Thanks to Josh & the mechanic who serviced my vehicle, just today I replaced the battery with an Interstate rated @ 630 CCA. Luke's / Josh didn't try to sell me a battery but just informed me of the issue. Thanks to them, I feel confident that I'll not experience the dreaded 'click' of the ignition when the mercury dips low enough for 320 CCA to not do it's job. I've found my maintenance / repair shop here in Columbus and will recommend these folks to all my family / friends that are looking for honest / reputable workmanship. Prior to bringing my vehicle to Luke's, I'd noticed on several (cool morning) occasions that my ignition was sluggish in turning over the engine and even failed (initially) to start a couple of times. I suspected something amiss but didn't think a 4 year old battery could be the culprit, having had 12 years battery longevity from my former vehicle - a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500. You never know - trust the experts and you won't go wrong. I'm thankful that I needed an oil change / tire rotation at this time - heading into winter.
