This place is trash. The type of trash you have to discard out your house immediately because of the smell and leak since the bag ripped! Unprofessional.

Beware of their prices!!!!!! They don’t know how to treat a customer within a budget, my experience here was terrible! I paid 500$ for them to tell me I have to spend 2500$ to replace a AC unit in my truck! Absolutely obsurd, I found a place in MI that would do all the work with warranty for just under a 1000$! If your looking to get a lot of work done to your vehicle don’t go here!

I’m sorry Don that you thought our prices were high on your Toyota, but as I explained on your vehicle to get the warranty from the manufacturer you have to replace the AC Condenser as part of the warranty guidelines. I’m sorry that in combination with the complete AC replacement that it was too expensive for your budget, but that would be the only way we could provide the service and warranty that our customers have come to believe in. We hope you have a good trip back to Michigan, and can get your AC repaired cheaper. Thanks for the opportunity to serve you. Sincerely, Brad Brown, Owner

Excellent service. Excellent customer service in record time. They did my inspection as a walk in and got me in and out in just a few minutes when other shops were telling me that i would need to drop my vehicle off and wait several hours for completion. Very satisfied.

B&L Automotive left a lot to be desired. I was originally informed my problem could have been the PCM and that they would have to order one in. However, the problem was later discovered to be the ignition coil and without telling me they decided to go on ahead and changed it. I understand they are mechanics, but I would have preferred if they actually asked my permission because I know how to change it myself and would rather not pay Labor for it which amounted to be over 400 dollars. I also had my car breakdown a week after they did repairs on it before and had to pay 85 dollars in towing fees despite the fee originally going to be covered however, due to me not calling the 1-800 number because I did not know such number existed I had to pay full costs. The only real positive experience would be Liz. She is a no BS type of person and good to talk to. I just was hoping for better communication on the options with my car and of services.

Thanks for your review Alex, and I am sorry that we couldn’t do anything further for you on your repair cost. Just as Liz had explained to you, you have to call your 800 warranty number to have things covered before you have the vehicle towed or repaired. Once these items are already done it bypasses any chance of the warranty company from assisting you with the warranties repairs. This was completely out of our hands, and we wish we could do more to help. Have a great day, and god bless. Sincerely, Brad Brown, Owner

Excellent service. Amazing customer service that doesn't take all day. They did my inspection as a mid day walk in when several other shops told me I would have to drop it off and give them all day. They were super polite and quick.

Highly recommend. Staff very polite and knowledgeable of my vehicle - a 2001 Ford Excursion. Great customer service throughout the process, reasonable prices, and a military discount mean i will be a repeat customer for years to come.

Update: A few months later, had an issue with a DIFFERENT shop (Not these guys) over a item the other shop broke while fixing my car from a hit and run. The other shop said it was not possible to break this thing, even if you took a hard object to it. My first call was to these guys. I asked if I could just ask an expertise question, about whether that could be broken accidentally or by neglect. Without even thinking about price, they gave me a second opinion, saying the guy ...
