There are car mechanics here who do their job well. Quick diagnosis, quality parts, and they do a great job. Nice to meet Mike. He is a kind and understanding person. The prices here are also affordable, there is no extra cost. They solve problems of my cars. It is an easy place to reach in terms of location. I advise here.

Took my daughter in laws 2018 equinox to get repaired for no brakes on Jan 3. Mike told me it was an air pump that's connected to the cam shaft. It was going to cost me $750 to fix the problem. The next day he called me on the phone and told me both cam shafts are damaged, the timing chain is damaged, it skipped timing, the vacuum pump is damaged and now it's going to cost $1800. On Jan 6, his son called me and told me that he's going to save me some money and it's now $1555. I personally think that Mike Service is a rip-off. He should've told me from the get-go,'I don't know what's the problem. I have to look into it first.'

Everyone here was very helpful and nice. I needed to take off security torxs on my license plate covers and I had already gone to five other places and no one else had the tool required, but Mike s did! They took off my license plate covers and put on my new plates free of charge! Very professional and efficient. Will be coming back and sending my friends and family here for anything car wise. Thank you Mike s!

First few weeks transmission running great I was told 100% warranties 1 year or 12 thousand miles whichever comes first then after 2000 miles transmission failed and Mike Sr. And Junior told me I have to pay $292 for fluids and transmission after reprogramming. It already cost me $400 to tow from where I was. When I went to pick up my van there s a grinding noise from both sides sounds like axle but no vibrations. I returned it back and nothing was done. Mike Junior told me they checked everything but couldn t find anything but he himself can hear the noise and stated you need to pick up your van fix or not fix. Careful everyone that s all I m saying . Bottom line I brought my Van to another shop and wallah it was my axle and bearing not properly installed so it cost me another $700 .Service: Transmission

I 100% highly recommend Mike's Service Center for your vehicle services. I have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata and needed my vehicle serviced. Mike charged me half the price that I received from another mechanic. The car now drives with no noise and has helped me tremendously. He's very honest, only charges you for what you need and is very experienced. I will be coming to Mike for all my car needs. Thank you!

Highly recommend to anyone who needs a professional, honest mechanic who charges very fair prices. Mike knew exactly what was causing the clicking sound when I turned the wheel just by listening to it ... a faulty rack and pinion. He kindly gave me a ride home and within a few hours had the car fixed. Not only that but Mike showed me the rack and pinion that had been removed and explained what was wrong with it. The car now steers like new and no more clicking noises. Very rare to find such an ethical and talented mechanic. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

STAY AWAY! Brought my Chevy here for one issue left with several more issues . They took more than two grand from me and my car is worst than when I first brought it in . On top of that they kept trying to keep charging me more every time, I deeply regret doing business with them never again , do yourself a favor stay away from these kinda mechanics rude and ripoff .

I have bad experience on customer service with timing of inspection. They know what they do, but they have to be more customer oriented. I ve been there twice and I m think I m not gonna come back again

I purchased a car for my nephew, who lives in Pennsylvania to get back and forth from school although I know it was an older car with higher mileage, I repeatedly questioned the cars dependability and was given their word. There s nothing wrong with the car it is perfect mechanically and safe condition, two days later, when my nephew first went to start the car after delivering it, it would not start. It will not come out of park. I called and was completely brushed off. They (Mike Jr.)told me I need to go get a mechanic to look at it they are not going to do anything about it And that is worded nicely compared to the conversation! this had just happened maybe June 22 or 23rd I believe I purchased this car I have yet to hear anything back so here is my negative feedback I do hope they do the right thing and someone a little more in charge contacts me with some resolve. Perhaps then I will change my Feedback.

Due to unforeseen event at work,Ineeded someone to fix my car real quick so I can get to my new job. I didn t know what was going on my engine light came on. I went to different car shops and tried to charge me an arm in a leg to fix my car. I m top of that I had oil leaking everywhere. Most of these shops were charging me a lot . I came up Mike s auto body shop. Not only did they fit her what was going on with my car they didn t charge me a lot I supposed to do with other ripped off car shops. And also fixing my car.

Excellent service! I had car trouble while I was traveling in the area on business. Mike s was recommended to me by a local, and he was able to perform free diagnostics for me that day. Quick repair, fair price, excellent customer service! Really appreciated this.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

been going to them for years straight from when I arrived from Brooklyn, very trusted mechanics with expertise on cars to match. Whenever I had an issue , they were always getting me back the road without breaking the bank. In all of Essex county I trust these guys the most!!! Definitely come here for all your auto needs, most trusted best prices.

Keep your receipt and get a second opinion. Well trained monkeys would do a more reliable work. I brought my car here for an issue that wasnt severe (minor oil leak on valve cover) Mikes service center turned the oil leak into a fountaim three days later and got me stranded The repair facility I towed it to said They had no idea what the hell they were doing

Nice shop to get basic service and regular maintenance on your vehicle. If you don't know what is wrong with your vehicle use caution Owner is knowledgeable and can be a little pricey if you aren't knowledgeable. But usually does fix issues you complain about. Same owner has been here for long time so I guess he is standing behind his work .

Mike gives good customer service and I don't feel like I'm being ripped off. Last time I went I thought my brakes may have a problem but when he checked my car he said there were no issues(He didn't try to charge me for something that wasn't a problem). They also work quickly, they always finish working on my car so I can pick it up the same day I drop it off.

Mike and his son are excellent, honest, gentlemen, and do their job with extra care and timely manner. I am his costumer for about 4 years. Every time when I purchase a new car, he checks and completes all maintenance required almost half of the price of the market. I am very happy with them, and definitely recommend anyone

I was referred to Mike s Service Center. I came in with an overheated engine. Mike took care of my issue quickly and efficiently. Not only was the service great, but the price for parts and labor were unbeatable. Quality work and affordable prices. You can t get better anywhere else! I highly recommend Mike s for anybody looking for a good mechanic!!

I went to service for lower control arm change. After getting my vehicle out of service, I noticed that the oil came from the front wheels. When I examined it, I saw that the right and left cv axle caves exploded. It was solid when I left it to the service. I met with the service representative. He stated that they may have damaged by replacing the part. and said that if I bring it in time, they can look. I brought my car. He said he had to change the CV axle and it cost me $ 400. whereas they asked me $ 400 even though they damaged my part. I definitely do not recommend.

I have consistently brought my vehicle to this repair shop over the past few years and over time I have noticed how much money I have lost to this criminal. I did not have much knowledge in the beginning about the car's mechanics but as time went on I started to learn more and more. He has consistently been charging me for things that did not have to be fixed and added things that said needed to be fixed on the car which I would not know for sure but either way that is not the point. Recently I had just bought to get my car fixed because the car would not start I told him it might be a starter then he proceeds to tell me that the message that was appearing on my car said "check charging system" which I know for a fact it did not say that. It in fact said "check starting system". He then tells me that its an alternator problem. But I almost know for a fact that its not but either way I tell him just fix the starter and out of my unsureness I told him to fix the alternator too since that's what he said needed to be fixed. On the next day he said the car is ready I go to pick it up give him the payment and head to my car. Finally I attempt to start the car and the car will not start and it says "check starting system" and does not say "check charging system". I call him over he puts the car in neutral and starts my car. I am in complete shock and disgusted. Please don't let this man continue to do this kind of business. I have been a victim for years and have just realized it now. This is criminal.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

Direct, clean and genuine.These are people who honestly empathize and work hard for the vehicle at hand. Borderline surgical and precise in what they do, as they work to a fine degree of excellence. They ve done everything and beyond for the care of the service and efforts.The environment is chill, confident and positively fluent in their craft. Exactly the key aspects you d want, if not need, in any service imaginable.10/10 would recommend!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Oil change

Went in to have car looked at. Owner told me he was in a rush and didn't have the time. Looked at the car and gave me an estimate. I went to Midas by me and turns out he wasn't even close to diagnosing the right problem. They fixed my car for $60. Runs better than before. Wouldn't recommend this place.

I ve been going to Mike over 25 years. He used to be pretty honest but he s been increasingly doing upsale and suspect practices the last few years. Had an issue with a motor mount. Told me alternator had to be replaced as well. Seemed a bit questionable but I ve used him so long didn t question it much. Next day after picking up had another issue with loud noise coming from the car. Brought it back and was told it was the wheel bearing. I said ok I ll bring it in a few days. My wife kept driving the car for a week and 4 out of 5 LUG NUTS fell off the tire on its own. I knew it was foul play as there was no reason to touch the tire for previous repair. Brought it back and he made several more excuses saying it was rust and his guys couldn t have done it which tells me he knew. My family could have been seriously injured if that tire fell off while driving!

It is better to buy parts and give them for replacement and stay with your car while replacing. He did not install genuine quality struts (replaced 6months ago, 3 months I didn t even drive) in my car. He gives warranty of 12 months. Now I can t take my car to him from California to get them checked and replaced.
