What costs the most to repair on a car?

Car repair costs vary widely based on the extent of damage and the specific components affected. However, typically, the most expensive repairs relate to the engine and transmission. These parts are fundamental for the vehicle's operation and often involve a complex repair. The average cost can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Regular maintenance and careful driving can help prevent such costly repairs.

Should I shop around for car repairs?

You can get multiple quotes to compare maintenance services and prices but keep in mind that "cheap" doesn't always equal "quality". Affordable automotive maintenance should always consider the true cost of a repair, not only the cheapest rate for a one-time job.

Are your services cost-effective?

Is it better to go to a local mechanic or dealership?

Local auto repair shops provide better service overall than a dealership, and set their own policies and procedures instead of having them set by a far-away corporate office. You'll also find that local shops tend to have a higher percentage of experienced technicians vs. dealers, who often have a few skilled technicians and many lower-skilled employees doing the bulk of the work. Give our team a call if you have any additional questions. You'll find that we're honest and reliable.

Do mechanics have to be licensed in Michigan?

Yes, mechanics must have a State of Michigan Mechanic License. All of our auto technicians hold state certification.
