I had a fabulous first visit and will be returning for all future repairs/maintenance! My car was starting sluggishly and had a vibration when braking. I called Mike's and they were able to get me in the following day. My service advisor, Lou, was very friendly and informative. He explained everything going on with my car and answered every question I had. They found play in my Tie Rods which is a huge safety issue but I had no idea as the play develops slowly and I was used to driving with the loose feeling. As the repairs were going to take a few days, Lou coordinated a Lyft ride for me to the shop so I could pick up one of their loaner cars. I appreciated this immensely as it allowed me to go to work/meetings without interruption. When I picked up my car, the steering wheel and my brake pedal are nice and firm, they feel like brand new! Thank you all for your kindness and dedicated work. See you next time!Posted on Google

My A/C started blowing warm air and Honda quoted me $3800 to repair the condenser, A/C lines, O-rings, and recharge. I spoke to Trent and he advised me to bring my Honda Pilot in for him to asses and he was honest and thorough. Come to find out the A/C lines were fine and I was able to get my A/C fixed for $1500 and a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty thanks to Mike's Auto Repair. Will definitely be coming back for all my future repairs, great staff and service!Posted on Google

Whenever I call for an appointment for an oil change they were always there to serve us. If I needed a ride home I was able to get a ride home. I wouldn't go to any other auto mechanic then Mike's Auto.Posted on Google

I went for an emission test. It was a walk in, only 30 minutes before closing, and yet they helped me with a smile. Service was fast and professional. Very clean place, even their bathroom was spotless!Posted on 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.
