Bring your own parts or let us source them. Either way, you get the same fair labor rate and the same person looking you in the eye when they explain what's wrong.

Real reviews from real Detroit drivers.

Great price
"Couldn't be happier. Car refused to start and transmission oil temp was the only error, leaving me stranded. Sam put me in touch with a great tow truck driver, got the car in the same day, and figured out it was the starter — not the transmission."

Fair & honest
"I've been coming here multiple times and always have a great experience. Sometimes I bring my own parts to save money, and other times they order them for me — either way, everything is priced reasonably compared to other mechanics."

Same day
"Walked in for a tire, walked out an hour later with a full safety check on the house. This is what a neighborhood shop is supposed to feel like."
