I would NOT go here, this guy is a crook charge me 400 for a diagnostic that I didn't ask for nor did he inform me he was doing nor did he actually do it! Now he refuse to release my car to me after having TWO MONTHS with no work done! more

He’ll charm you, cut your brakes, charge you storage fees and become hostile for questioning is integrity. The only people worse then the owner are the ones post false positive reviews. It’s been six years since he screwed me and I still think about him. more

Great family business! more

My sons paid for his car repairs after waiting six months for repairs. Charlie said it was stored in a garage and made us wait an entire day. When we finally went to his shop we waited over an hour because our car was blocked in the garage by another car that had locked brakes.y son told Charlie we had been waiting all day and he wanted to see the car . Charlie gave us an address and hung up saying he couldn't wait the 3 minutes it would take us to get there after he had made us wait all day. We found the car blocked in the driveway of a residential property Charlie owns. We called the Lakewood police and they came out to question the tenant but told us we would have to file a civil suit to get our own car back even after we showed them all of our paid paperwork. They also advised us that Charlie is known for this type of activity . DO NOT take your car there unless you want to hire a lawyer to get it back! Beware and believe all the negative reviews they are all true. Just call the Lakewood police for yourself . more

I wish I had read all of the terrible reviews about him before! Charlie is a crook with no morals! He had my car for THREE months for a problem that other shops said is a 5 day job. He never answered my phone calls, and when he DID answer, he had some "new" problem that was wrong and tacked $500 onto the total. I was finally fed up and went to Calanni to get my vehicle. No other mechanics will touch my vehicle after he has. I eventually had to get the lakewood police involved because Charlie wouldn't even tell me what I owed to get my car out of his shop. He cursed at me and called me a deadbeat and said that I just didnt want to pay for the repairs. With the help of the police, Charlie finally let me see my bill, for 800!!! He had also forged my signature onto the bill saying that I was satisfied with all work done. I am now opening a civil claim to get my car back and prosecuting him for forgery. Lakewood police said that they've been trying to close his shop for over TEN YEARS more

Do not take your vehicle to Calanni for repairs!!! Calanni Enterprises has an F rating with the BBB for good reasons. Ask yourself when you go in there why is he holding so many cars? It isn't because he is such a great mechanic like I thought. Calanni did not fix my car properly. When I tried to pick up my car he refused to let me even start my car! I had to call the Lakewood Police before I could even make sure the car was running! After paying for a new water pump, radiator repair and flush and fill the car overheated on the way home. Call the Lakewood Police dept and ask them about Calanni. The attorney general has 24 complaints against Calanni Enterprises and is taking action against him. This is directly from the BBB website.

It's simple!! Do not take your car here for service! He is a rip-off artist. And on top of that not professional at all. I should have looked for comments BEFORE I went there, but never thought about it. Jan Lakewood, OH more

We've had the (not pleasure) of taking our car on a couple of occasions to Calanni Auto Service on Madison Avenue. Charlie is an unusual breed of mechanic - allowing someone to bring in their parts they want to use on their car and just pay for the service to install them. Charlie has serviced our car on several occasions. THe quality of work is very good. The price of repairs is comparable. We do have a couple of 'complaints'. If Charlie isn't in the shop, you can't pick up your car or find out about the status of your car. There are employees there but they can't help us? Another issue is the amount of time they have your car while doing repairs. more
