7 businesses in Urbana have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 6 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 60 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.

Ohio has no safety inspection. Cars registered in Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit counties need an E-Check emissions test for registration renewal, for gas and diesel vehicles 6 to 26 years old and hybrids 7 to 26 years old. In September 2026 the governor told Ohio EPA to start ending E-Check, but testing continues until U.S. EPA approves. Details are on the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency site. Customers have the right to an estimate when repairs will cost more than $50. The bill cannot go more than 10 percent over the estimate without the customer's approval, and the shop must return replaced parts unless they go back under a warranty or rebuild deal. Read the rule.
