To all other Columbus/Downtown residents please be aware of Mid City Auto Service located at 1179 Jaeger St. They make you sign blank paperwork prior to giving you an estimate. I was stupid and signed it when they told me I was authorizing a "road test". When you return to inquire about the estimate the produce the paperwork with your signature authorizing all of the charges! After an hour and almost calling the Columbus police, they finally released my vehicle for $80.00. This is a scam! Beware!

Yeah, you know I've been scratching my head as to how in the hell I signed a blank work order...

...and now that I think of it, there were a bunch of carbon copies underneath the original page that I signed. I'm thinking there was a dummy front page and my signature was super-imposed on the corresponding pages...

Wow, how the heck do these people stay in business?

Neighbor, where is your shop at??? It wasn't for my Rover, it was for the F250... Screw that place! Tell your friends.

put a word into the BBB, that's what I always do.


why? The BBB is there for the BUSINESS not the consumer... all they do to the business is call and ask a few questions.
