I needed my AC compressor replaced. I checked around and Van Meters was close to my house and was recommended by many locals. The work took two days and when I got it back the AC was blowing cold air from the minute I turned it on. Service was professional and from my end the work was done correctly. The price for the work was comparable to other places I checked. They also made me an extra key, free of charge. Staff is also friendly. I will be recommending them to my friends for auto service in the future.

Wanted to update my review because I left some thing out. Recap, My AC repair was done correctly and air is ice cold. I wanted to add they update my inspection stick (which was due in 2 months) without asking and no change. I was very surprised by that and grateful. They have excellent service. I would recommend them to anyone.

Here at Van Meter Auto Repair in Mantua we often do diagnostics and sometimes the problem is obvious after hooking the car up to the computer and reading the codes. However, sometimes it isn't obvious during a test drive or after hooking it up to all those computer programs! You know there is a problem and a Check Engine Light is on with the fleet customer telling you the car has been having issues starting and the light has been going off and on depending on several factors. No pattern, no simple answer but the problem becomes obvious when you start following the "threads of the issue" thanks to all that ASE Technician training.

Whatever type of truck you run in your fleet, they all have a driveshaft that connects the transmission to the differential, transferring power to the wheels.
