Tyler Automotive

Took my car here today expecting to have front and rear brakes replaced. Other places I’ve been would have automatically done that but Tony said only the back brakes needed replaced. Very refreshing to deal with an honest business. Not one just trying to cheat.
Tyler’s was highly recommended to me and I will also highly recommend.

Great place and great people! Took my car there for the first time today to try somewhere new because I always felt like I was getting ripped off at another place. I work right across the street from them, so I dropped it off before work and had my car back less than 3 hours later. Took in my car because my drivers side mirror was being held up by duct tape. The mirror itself no longer moved like side mirrors do because the electrical no longer works. I just told them I wanted it reattached, didn’t want it replaced because my car has those fancy defrost mirrors and they cost a fortune to replace. Never once did I feel pressured to buy a whole new mirror. They did exactly what I wanted, put some screws in it to make it stay put. After dealing with my other repair shop, I was expecting them to say $ 75 or up, nope! $ 30 later, my mirror is perfect and I am am happy customer, will definitely be returning for future repairs.

Tony Tyler and the entire staff at Tyler Automotive are great people. I have been taking my car here for about a year after I realized I was getting ripped off at my previous repair shop. I have never had anything short of a great experience at this family run shop.
They are efficient and quick, even when I’m an idiot and knock my right side mirror off. Not only did they get me the best price possible on a replacement, but they also were able to get me in that day to get the mirror replaced. I can tell they really look out for loyal customers. The price is right for an oil change too, and the wait is never too long.
As far as I’m concerned, this is the only place I will be taking my cars for as long as I am in Indy.

Tony Tyler and his team are the best in town. Our family has been taking cars there (Hondas, Nissans, Toyotas, Oldsmobiles, etc) for well over 20 years. Tony will never overcharge you, as a matter of fact, it almost seems like he is undercharging! One time we thought we needed a tune up, but he ended up calling us to tell us — nope, your care did not need one, and we paid for the oil change only. Pleasant, honest, kind, funny, caring people — you just can’t do better than Tony Tyler Automotive.

I really like them a lot. I’ve been taking my vehicle here for about 5 years and they are always honest and reasonable. I recommended them to a friend and he has been taking all three of his vehicles to them also. A couple of days ago he thanked me a lot for the referral and said he thought they were terrific. I have never had a bad experience with them and their pricing always seems reasonable.

Want to get ripped off? Go here!
Smooth talkers but terrible service, charged me $ 60 for a simple coolant change, this led to a busted radiator in 5 days.
I took my 2001 Honda Civic to Tyler, who gave me a bill for $ 400, and called the following day giving a false problem saying that the repair would cost me $ 1500 for a car worth $ 3200.
I was so stressed that I could not sleep the whole night so took the car the following day to NorthEast Auto service who fixed the radiator for under $ 275 and that too in a single day.
I wouldnt not recommend Tyler Auto to any one! Please do not go there.

Took my smooth running (but old) vehicle for a new water pump. Came back with an unpleasant engine vibration which they denied to accept responsibility. Avoid at all cost!

Best, most honest mechanics in Indy. Tony is the best and his team of technicians are great. I can’t say enough about the team at Tyler Automotive.

I’m surprised Tyler Automotive hasn’t got a ton of Unilocal comments. This place is fantastic. They owner has a degree from MIT in automotive science and they don’t pick your pocket. My husband went in with «my brakes need work, maybe it’s more than brakes» this left him open to them saying «yup, you need brakes and this and this» but they didn’t. He just needed the brakes, they just repaired the brakes and we were on our way the same day! If you can spare your vehicle, just leave it and they’ll do the work quickly when they have time. If you need an appointment, it’s weeks down the road for these guys.
I want to note that the price for the work was great too. No more than the place down the road that wanted to do quite a bit of extra unnecessary work on my daughter’s car the week before. I’m really glad we found Tyler’s!
11÷19÷12: Ok, a year later, I’ve down graded them from 5 stars to 3 stars. Partly because the guy in charge needs to develop some customer service skills. I have questions because I’m not a mechanic, I’m not stupid, I’m not accusing you of anything, I’m trying to understand my car. I still think overall the abilities of the mechanics are fine. I just don’t want to deal with the attitude so I’m going to «explore my options».

Looking for a local automotive repair shop that is actually HONEST and won’t rip you off? This is a great spot. My wife and I take both our cars here and have never been disappointed. They’ve always done an exceptional job of explaining what the problem was, why it needed to be fixed and how much it would cost. They’ve also told me on several occasions that I didn’t need certain repairs at that time, instead of most other repair shops who would tell you that you need something fixed when you really don’t.
Schedule your appointment early. Chances are it will take a week before they can get you in (apparently lots of other people trust Tyler Auto as well). Once you drop off your car, they’ll usually have it done that day.
Prices are very reasonable.
