 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I’ve been a customer of Mike’s for years.  One car is 26 years old and the other is 12 so they must be doing something right.

I've been burnt by other companies.  But they are honest. Tell me everything i need b4 they do anything.  They go above and beyond.  This is the only place I will have my car worked on. They're all very kind and friendly.

They just repaired my transmission lines by fabricating them, themselves. That says a lot about the effort they are willing to put in. As a car girl, myself i know those lines can be a royal pain! These guys are very honest and trustworthy. They don't treat me like a dummy being a woman as other places have tried to do to me in the past. They are very efficient and fair. I feel very confident with my vehicle in their hands. I will not go anywhere else for future work that may need to be done. I highly recommend them, always! Thank you to the wonderful team for getting my baby fixed timely! Appreciate all of you and the quality work you do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Mike’s Auto is the only place I’ll bring my vehicle. I can’t recommend them enough! Colby was amazing. Not only did he save me nearly $15,000, but he also arranged and paid for Lyfts to and from my house without charging me a single cent. I recently brought my car in because the RPMs were spiking on the highway, and I also needed an oil change. They paid for a Lyft to take me home while they inspected the vehicle. After diagnosing the issue, Colby informed me that my powertrain was still under warranty and explained that the dealership would fix the problem and even perform the oil change at no cost. They easily could have completed the oil change I originally requested and charged me for it, but instead they were completely honest and pointed me in the right direction. Even though they didn’t charge me for anything, Colby still arranged and paid for another Lyft to bring me back to the shop. Their customer service is outstanding, and they’re truly an honest business that puts their customers first. If you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic, Mike’s Auto is the place to go.
