Went in to get my heat shield and rest of car checked after making an appt and was pleasantly served and assisted. Walked in, he knew exactly who I was based off seeing my car and had me in and out in under 20 minutes. Super kind and helpful and explained what the issue was in simple terms. Thank you for your service and if I have any other car questions and or concerns I will be coming here.

Let me start by saying stop here for repairs. I call and setup an appointment for my daughter to have o2 sensors replaced. He quoted me a price that was morn than fair. My daughter stopped in and was out rather quick. I called to see what he charged my card and it was half of what was quotedHe stated it was easy so I slashed the price. Kevin is a honest and fair man.

Needed to find a new and honest auto repair business and pretty sure this is it.Had a high recommendation for Louie's.No nonsense. Brought the car in, they called with diagnosis of brake problem and fixed it after my okay. They ordered the parts and I picked it up the next day. No problems after. Prices reasonable.Last business who had replaced my brakes, had brakes noisily squeaking after the job. I went back more than once with only excuses.Had none of that to deal with at Louie's and will definitely go back for future work. It's alway worth the 40 minute drive if able to trust your auto mechanic.Thanks guys!!

Found this place cause I was looking for a smaller local garage that would do work with customer supplied parts, I was so happy I did. The quote was right where it should be, scheduling was a breeze and the work was done on time and correctly. I've been back a few more times and they never fail to impress with there communication and work.

First time patron on the recommendation of a coworker. Very satisfied with the service and work done to replace my shocks. They called me prior to starting work to let me know my options. And it was done quickly. I will definitely be taking my vehicles there for future repairs!Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair

These guys were amazing! I would give them 10 stars if it were allowed. They got my car in and got it repaired in no time. They replaced my catalytic converter for a third of the cost of the dealership. My encore now runs like a dream and I couldn t be happier with the work. These men are honest and reliable. If you have any repairs that need to be made please please please support your local business and take it here. I will not be taking my vehicle anywhere else for any additional repairs. However hopefully those repairs will not be needed. Thank you again for all you do!

Tried out Louie's after having a poor experience elsewhere. Took my car in for some issues with the brakes. Problem was diagnosed and explained with enough detail to make sense. A couple other issues were also diagnosed, which I also had repaired. Work was done quickly and at a reasonable price. Would absolutely recommend, and will 100% be returning should my car need additional service.

The team at Louie's has always been fantastic. I've taken multiple vehicles to them in the past couple of years and have always had honest, great experiences. I have never left feeling like they took advantage of an extra sale or item that wasn't necessary. I would definitely recommend and will continue to use.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Oil changeServices: Air & cabin filter replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Oil change

Took my vehicle to Louie's for a second opinion after a local dealership told me I needed a complete brake job. Dropped the vehicle off after hours, was called promptly the next morning, and was relieved to hear that I only needed front brake pads. The reviews for this place are accurate - these guys are honest, professional, timely, and do exceptional work! I don't think I will go anywhere else after such a genuinely great experience with Louie's auto service. They are the best in Howell!Service: Brakes

I'm so impressed by the efficiency of this place! They took my car back before I even left the parking lot, called less than an hour later with a diagnosis and price estimate, and about an hour after that for my car to be finished. Less than 2 hours after drop-off, I had paid over the phone and was able to get my car after hours. And they didn't charge me an arm and a leg! Jeff was knowledgeable and kept me informed, and I will definitely be back for future car needs. Thank you again!!

Brought my 1998 Ram in for some custom exhaust, had a set of headers installed and they did a great job! The price was really cheap for the amount of pain these dodges can bring! These guys are awesome and I will be bringing my truck back for sure to get more custom work done! Would recommend them to anyone who needs car repairs!Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

First class service with friendly knowledgeable staff;got my car in on time,did the fix, after thoroughly explaining process to me,finished ahead of schedule and was less than what they originally quoted. Nice to find an honest shop with fair prices;will definitely go to them for future repairs.

I was on my way home early in the morning after dropping kids off to school and my ball joint went loose, luckily Louie s was right there for me to pull in. I was there stranded with my baby, and they got my car fixed in 40 minutes and gave me an affordable fair price instead of taking advantage because I needed a repair right away. It was greatly appreciated, they seem to be a good honest company and they saved my day!

They are an honest shop. I thought my truck needed brakes all the way around. They could have just done it and I would have never known the difference. Instead they checked them and told me the fronts still had about 60% left. They only did the rears. Nice to have honest people out there. I will use them again! Thanks Jeff and Kevin.

Louie's is everything that an Automotive Service is supposed to be. All the staff that I've had the pleasure of doing business with are fair, honest, and do not waste your time. I just had service done on my 2016 Mustang GT. He swapped out the stock exhaust for a Magnaflow Catback that I got online. He did an excellent job; the fit looks professional and there has been zero issues for me so far. The price was extremely fair. He did all of this in only a couple of hours! Amazing.The mechanic I worked with also went above and beyond. Made sure that I was satisfied with every aspect of my new exhaust.Blown away by this place.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Called up to Louie s right before they closed about just quickly fixing a bolt in my car and they fixed it lightning fast. I had ordered the wrong parts for my car and they found the correct part for me and got me out of there within 30 min. Excellent service, really nice guys, prices you can t beat and now they ve got a customer for life!

Very impressed!! I've taken my car to a few auto shops/dealerships already this year and none ot them were as fast, and reasonable as Louies! I had my car towed to another place Monday morning, took them till Tuesday evening to tell me that he couldn't/wouldn't fix my broken wheel bearing. Took it to Louies Weds morning and they had it fixed within a few hours and it was almost $100 cheaper! Its nice to have a realiable shop so close to home.
