My daughters car broke down and we are on the other side of the state. All the other places wouldn t even look at her car for a week! Called Mikes and he said they were booked but he d get her car looked at as soon as he could. Had it fixed in less than 24 hours!! I couldn t believe it! Such a nice guy, easy to work with and reasonably priced. This is the only place we will be going from now on. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience. Great communication. Honest. We had very serious situation with our car, and they made the absolute best of it. My daughter goes to WMU and knows nothing about cars. We decided to have her go here because they were close to her apartment. They worked with me over the phone and explained everything they were doing. Now she's driving her car again! I wish they were in Grand Rapids and I would take my own vehicles there every time.

This is the best shop I ve been to in the Kalamazoo area! I had an issue with a stud stuck on my spare tire. I called and showed up 30 minutes before they closed and Cody was able to help and get me out the door in just a few minutes! Great place with great customer service. I ll be back and recommending to others.

I could not say enough positive things about my years of experience at Michael's. The competent staff goes above and beyond expectations , sharing information, trouble-shooting future problems, and maintaining customer trust and confidence. They are truly committed to keeping customers safe on the road, and they demonstrate this by consistent reliable, honest service. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you, Michael's.

Our son came home one night and reported the brakes on our Buick were failing. My wife and I took the Buick and our Scion to Michael's and left the Buick in their lot. Next morning I called and explained we had three jobs and only two cars, could they work us in. Even though they were fully booked, they got our car in and repaired before noon at a fair price. Excellent work, exemplary service. I highly recommend Michael's.

I highly recommend Michaels. My son s car broke down on a Sunday. We are from the Holland area and we didn t have a clue who to take it too in the Kalamazoo area. We read the reviews and thought we d take a chance. The reviews were right, by 9 am Monday morning I received a call from Mike. His car was diagnosed (Ignition Module) and will be done by noon. I was very impressed with the whole experience! Tx again Mike!! Services: Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

Michael was very honest in regards to my brakes, which I thought for sure had to be bad. I was fully prepared to have the brakes and other things replaced as needed, but was told they are actually still in good shape at this time. He also fixed this embarrassing rattling noise from under my car. Thank you for being honest about my brakes and car. I have been here with other vehicles in the past and have always been satisfied. I recommend Michael to all my friends in the area. He is an honest man who also happens to fix cars. I will continue use Michael for future repairs.Service: Brakes

I am in Kalamazoo for work, and my blower went out on my older model car. Michael s was highly recommended by some friends. I am so thankful they were able to fit me in a few days before Christmas. They were upfront, honest and affordable.I had several issues that needed repair, and they were able to do it all in one day.So very thankful.

Went to this place after reading all the reviews from other customers. And it is true what they all say, excellent and honest auto repair shop. The prices are reasonable and affordable, and they won t try to cheat you or make you feel like your car is in danger to repair unnecessary things (which has happened to me in other auto repair shops). I haven t driven my car in a while cos my battery and alternator were dead and after replacing them at Michael s, they noticed that my brakes have built up rust and wasn t functioning well. They told me about it, and said after a few times of driving the rust might drop off, which was exactly what happened and now my brakes are fine. A week later, my check engine light came on and I was told that I can come to get it checked anytime and after checking, I was told that it s not a big deal and I can still safely drive around but they can fix whatever it is if I would like to and I scheduled an appointment.Some other auto repair shops would have charged me an arm and a leg to repair everything and try to change/fix unnecessary things just to make money of out it. So I definitely recommend Michael s to anyone.Wish I found this place much earlier but I am glad i found it now and will be my go-to place for vehicle issues.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Battery

Awesome service. The bolt for the contol arm mount in my daughter's Toyota Matrix ripped right out. None of the big box auto places were willing to fix it. Michael's was able to remove the control arm, weld up the frame rail to make it stronger than factory, and get my new control arm installed. I think the price was outstanding for the amount and quality of work done and I know I'll never have to worry about that control arm for the remaining life of the car.

Husband and I came from New Orleans because of Hurricane Ida. On our way up, we noticed that we were overdue for an oil change. And then, our battery died. Michael's came highly recommended so we called for an appointment. Service was friendly and thorough. Probably won't ever have a reason to return but we're so glad we found out about this place!

Honestly, can't say enough about this place! Mike, the owner, went above and beyond trying to figure out what was draining my son's battery. If you want an honest, hardworking and reasonable priced mechanic, this is the place!

Edit: tried to see if they could help me figure out a recurring misfire issue. After replacing cat converter, plugs, o2 sensors and bringing it back because my diagnostic was telling me I had evap issues, they (incompletely) installed the new purge valve based on the reading. Unfortunately the issue was never fixed until I was recommended a different mechanic who figured out immediately it was my PCM module, which corrected everything.I liked the mechanic but was being nickel and dimed.Straight to the point. Good with most communication. Fixed my issues about three days and recommended other maintenance that will need to be done in the future, but didn't pressure me to do it through him.Easy going.His hourly wage is a bit more expensive than what Im used to paying, but he fixed my car promptly when I couldn't get in anywhere else and needed my vehicle.
