Ted Burgin Auto Service

Ted Burgin! My station wagon’s savior. When I lived in Cincinnati, this garage, and the wonderful family behind it, was always my go-​to in terms of repair and maintenance. I’ve since moved out of town, and miss them dearly.
First off, I drive an older vehicle — a 1994 Chevy Caprice wagon with a V8 LT1 engine. I know my car WELL, and expect my mechanics to respect that fact. Ted was always wonderful in this department — he had no problem with explaining what needed to happen with my vehicle, invited me into the garage to observe and learn about the repairs, and was a huge advocate in terms of preventive care and maintenance. He took an older wagon that had sat idle for well over a year, and tuned it up into a beast of a machine. Wonderful work, every single time.
This is truly a family business, manned by Ted, his son Jason, grandson Nick and wife, Grace. On top of their professional work and character, the family always made me feel completely at home during my visits to the garage. As it was a decent distance (about 10 minutes on the highway) from my house, I’d often stay in the office while the repairs took place — it was a warm environment, always a laugh or good life story to be shared. I honestly miss those visits!
For domestic vehicle repair/​maintenance in the greater Cincinnati area, you can’t do better than Ted Burgin. Stop at the UDF down the block beforehand for a malt while you chill out in the office — you can’t do wrong for good company, and better car care.
