I tried filling out a customer support form with them online and then also filled out a parts request form complete with part number. They never got back to me in any way. But then I found ToyoTechs and everything changed. I filled out a service request form on their website in the evening and was contacted immediately the next morning via voicemail and email. Long story short. Blane at the front desk hooked me up with my bolts for a great price and also in record time. He even called their parts distributor to make sure I would receive them before the weekend, which I did. It really showed me how much these guys care about their customers because they went above and beyond for such a small sale .

I just purchased a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas on May16, 2026 from a dealership in Nunica, MI after…read moredriving it home back to Kalamazoo I noticed fluid leaking I thought it was from the radiator because the fluid was clear, 10 days later the check engine light came on saying check my oil level during these ten days I started hearing the brakes squeal. On May 21, 2026, I called Master Mechanics because they specialize in Volkswagen and other European vehicles. They couldn't get it in that day I had to wait until May 27, 2026, because they were booked up and Memorial Day was coming on May 26, 2026, that's when the check engine light came on. I paid 39.95 for them to check out my oil leak issue and I paid 39.95 for them to check out why my brakes was squealing when braking. Well, they said my brakes look fine and that the noise was coming come the belt tensioner. After leaving the shop my brakes were still squealing here and there by the time I get almost home the brakes are squealing more. Well, I had to go into the hospital for a procedure on my heart in two days. I said I will deal with this after my procedure and so I did I called them back and was told to bring it in for a recheck, well the mechanic comes to me outside where I was seating saying it's your brake pads and asks me to get in the vehicle with him while drives so I can show him what I hear while driving so off we go, he says to me I wasn't the mechanic who worked on your vehicle the first time I tell him that the other mechanics said the brakes were fine, so he hears what I was telling him about the brakes squeal noise he says yeah it's definitely your brake pads so we get back to the shop he says to me let me check it out some more so we don't have any more misdiagnose- miscommunications so he takes the vehicle out again with another mechanic in the vehicle with him they get back pull it in the garage, finally he brings the vehicle out and park it I walk over to him, so he's saying he wrote some notes and the men at the counter will be with me shortly eventually I get up to the counter and they guy at the counter says we looked back from when you first brought your vehicle in and we couldn't see the brakes! But it looks like the dealership changed the brake pads but used cheaper ones but yeah it's your brakes pad and we need to scuff your rotors, so I'm livid but I can't afford to get upset or stressed because of my heart failure so know he says and yeah you got another leak going on in the housing area around the oil filter, I paid 493.00 for the belt tensioner that had nothing to do with the squealing noise coming from the brakes because I googled this after I started hearing the squealing noise come back, the fact that I was told they couldn't see my brake issue the first time is insane when they specialize in my brand of vehicle!! I want a refund for that belt tensioner, my trust is out the door with this establishment, not to mention I brought my land rover to them back in the summer of 2024 about some issues I was having with it at that time they were informative and said I needed a new engine and they didn't want to put work into it and charge me for anything because the engine was failing already, which I kind of figured that because my timing chain was making a loud noise at the time. This experience was very irritating; they didn't offer any compensation on their lack concerning my brakes and charging me for something that was not the issue. This is not professionalism at all.

I was nine years old back then and he was eight years old I think (that was way back in 1978). We were neighbors for over 15 years. I don't let anyone else work on my car except Lowder's because I know and trust the owner, Bob, and I know that he will ALWAYS do right by me. He hasn't ever tried to pull a fast one on me (or any of my family or friends) like other mechanics do; he does what's actually needed or what I've asked to be done (IF it's legal of course but NOT if it's something illegal like putting a muffler on a vehicle that doesn't have a catalytic converter on it (or other stuff like that), because that's quite illegal!). He does the right thing, he always has that I know of and I've never heard anyone taking bad about him, EVER --- not even in high school. He's just and simply a great and honest man; and you can trust him. Oh! He WON'T give you some triple the price estimate and try to rip you off either, he's not like that at all. I refer people to go to him at Lowder's Automotive every single time someone is talking about having vehicle problems or the need of a good honest mechanic. He runs the office and front counter now and doesn't get under the cars anymore because he has some great people working for him there. He WON'T put up with a dishonest mechanic working in his shop either. I fully know that he would give them the boot too if they ever tried something like that! They work on lots of types of vehicles there and they're certified & licensed. And you can see the legal certifications and licenses posted there if you'd like to. He is an awesome person to know too. Talk with him awhile if you're wanting to know more about him and his business, I'm sure that he will fill you in on anything that you will need to know. He's been working on cars since we were kids. Oh, and BTW, he is still about Mopar too. Js. I'm a Chevy man myself but I don't hold the fact that he's into Mopar against him. LoL! So if you're into Dodge vehicles, especially big trucks, just bring that up and you're sure to have a nice conversation with him. Tell him that you read this on Yelp and that his old friend and neighbor Todd sent you. I hope that this helps your in your decision making. You simply can't go wrong with Lowder's at your service.

Just thought I'd update everyone since I posted a review a few years back. It is still a one star…read moreand has not changed, especially considering I never went back. AVOID THIS SHOP at all costs, quite literally a scummy fishy shop. Lets start at the beginning, I had brought my car to LV Auto Service Center for a transmission diagnosis since the transmission had been having some shutters and slipping going on. In the first week of my vehicle being there it was actually good service, they did their standard diagnosis for over $200 and told me that my air intake had come loose causing some issues with the motor getting to much air and they had fixed that issue. Now this is where the shit show starts... They then had me reschedule for a "transmission rebuild" and I say rebuild lightly. They also at this time told me that the repairs would cost around $4000 for the full repairs and had me put a down payment of $2000. Mind you they had quoted me for a transmission build without even properly diagnosing the vehicle. At this time I was not aware they did not know exactly what the issue was, they did not make me aware of them not checking either, now this is suspicious because they charged me a diagnosis but then didn't mention what exactly was wrong with the vehicles transmission, just vaguely stated as a "transmission rebuild". Now from here it continues to get worse, I'm honestly angry I didn't take legal action against this shop. I unfortunately do not own the vehicle they worked on anymore but they are the reason I had to sell it. Okay, anyways, I bring the vehicle back to the shop for the "transmission rebuild" and I had great feelings about it, they assured me that the vehicle would be hopefully wrapped up within 2 weeks and they'll get started on it right away. I dropped it off that day with hope but then that was immediately squashed when I called back a week later to get an update. No answer to the first call, second call I get a hold of somebody. They tell me they have not started on the vehicle and weren't sure if it needed to be rebuilt. Why the absolute hell would this shop charge me a $2000 prepay fee for a transmission rebuild that they hadn't even get properly diagnosed. Obviously, I was furious I told them they needed to start on it ASAP since they had said it was going to be done within two weeks and I needed the vehicle for daily driving, so yeah this whole time they held my car hostage I was struggling to figure out how to get a mode of transportation. After I spoke to them on the phone they said they would test drive it and give me a call back. I waited and waited for that call, it never came. I had to call them every single time I needed an update, never once got a call from them, I call them back and they tell me the vehicle is not slipping and is driving fine, excuse me? You're telling me I just prepaid $2000 for a transmission rebuild that I didn't need? Yeah no not happening, I told them they needed to drop the pan, check fluid, and to do a transmission flush if needed and MAKE SURE there is no metal shavings in the transmission fluid. They check the pan, find metal shavings! Who could've guessed, I was right there was something wrong with my vehicle. By this point they've had the vehicle for almost 2 weeks now with me having to ASK them to properly diagnose my vehicle, to get some sort of actual answer on what could be going on, its almost like they didn't know what they were doing and couldn't admit it. My guess is they didn't know what they were doing, especially cause a few months go by of complete radio silence from LV Auto Service Center. At this point I had already purchased another mode of transportation, due to them holding my car and not working on it. I give them a call some months later to get an update on the car, no update "still working on it" they said. 6-7 months go by, I have to call every single week for them to tell me anything about the status of my vehicle and turns out they had shipped it to another transmission to shop to work on it, without my knowledge. This guy was extremely rude and unprofessional, and eventually was tired of my calling for updates and then eventually washed his hands of the vehicle and sent it back to LV Auto Service Center. I call LV Auto Service Center after they receive the vehicle and they tell me they are not sure if it is fixed or not but it "drove fine" and then charged me the rest. I was absolutely astonished by this, but at this point the car was running fine. The transmission was no longer slipping and I had thought it was over there, but no I was very wrong. I drove that car for 2 months before the transmission had went out again, bring it back since its still under warranty. They refuse to work on the vehicle and said they couldn't get parts, even though they had claimed they would be able to repair the vehicle for me in the first place, they held my vehicle for 10-12 months. I picked the car up and sold it immediately, F.U

8/12/26 - Update So I have an update on my review. After my…read morereview I left, I got a phone call from Ziegler wanting to know how they can fix this with me. I said that in order to fix it I would need to be reimbursed $500 that I know had to spend out of my pocket to fix something that they lied about fixing and saying it costed them $2000 to fix when I purchased this car. I was told that could be doable and that someone would reach out and guess what??? Ghosted again!! I would not ever recommend Harold Ziegler to anyone. Bad business Harold Ziegler. Shame on you!! "This is the first review left a couple weeks or more ago" last year I bought a car 2020 Nissan Murano from Jacob Sweeney. Jacob Sweeney was the only good part of my experience. There was an issue that when I got home to Grand Rapids, from purchasing the car, the passenger side corner bumper panel was popped out almost like the bumper came unsnapped. Long story short, Jacob had me come back to have them repair this as I just bought it and same day this happened just driving home. All fixed picked it up and no more than drove home and it was popped again. I had to return not once but 2 more times with this same issue and being told that they fixed it when it fact Trey did not fix it at all. I was told that the last time they had it for over a week as they said a new bumper and parts being ordered from Nissan to replace bumper and clips. I was told that zeigler paid a repair shop that they use over $2000 to repair this. Now here I am a year later with an issue that cause my front bumper to be moved to repair something unrelated and come to find out, that all they did was glue everything. Now I am paying a different company $500 out of my pocket to fix this the right way and not just glue it and lie to me saying they put all new parts to repair it. When I reached out to the manager David Gould at zeigler this is what I was told " We spent over $1700 fixing that car over a "clip. " They had the whole front end off that car. They put it back the best absolutely they could and we are no longer gonna participate in the repair of this unit. One clip turned into almost $2000 on our end and we're not coming out of pocket with any more money. I do understand your frustration, however it was fix the best that they can do. We're going to have to move on and pass on this. This is my final decision, I told Jacob Sweeney that that was my final time taking that up there to get it fixed. And then I'm not participating any more Goodwill monies on this vehicle." I said how can he not be mad at the company they claim that they paid $2000 to not fix but to just glue instead and lie saying they fixed it. If I would have known this repair was not being done correctly I would have chisen to actually not purchase this car and bring my business else where but they kept me by telling me that they would fix this correctly. Now I have to pay $500 out of my pocket for a repair that they claimed to have fixed. David Gould has not responded to any more of my emails since. Terrible way to do business and shame on you Zeigler with lying about a repair to the point of saying they ordered new clips and bumper from Nissan and it cost them $2000 when there is not a single clip put in and only glue. I have pictures of all the missing clip holes with glue everywhere. I have all communication with zeigler through this whole process and I'm mortified that a dealership would do a customer like this. I am paying a lot of money for this car and now having to come out of pocket for something they lied to me saying it war fixed. I wish I could post the pictures of it all here. Don't go to Harold zeigler fire in Plainwell. They are liars and will take advantage of a customer in a heart beat. My salesman Jacob Sweeney was the only good out of my experience.
