I suppose as long as I have lived in Kalamazoo, auto owners in Parchment have, for their auto…read morerepairs, mostly gone to the Parchment Service Center on Riverview or Wisser's Townline Service on East G Avenue. The family of my childhood went to the latter. Before Wisser's expanded, he had gas pumps, so we bought our gas and got our car repairs there. Now, with more than double the bays, Wisser's is where my mother still gets her cars serviced. Rick and Jill own and run the repair shop. Rick's father, Dick, was the face of the business when I was a young driver, and I was conflicted about him. An excellent auto mechanic, he presented as a no nonsense man of few words, so I was scared to death of him. Rick is his equal as a mechanic and much less taciturn. His wife, Jill, handles the books. (As a side note, as of today's date, there are 4 earlier reviews that Yelp's algorithm has seen to exclude - see below - and they are worth reading.)

Jill and Rick are so friendly and you feel at ease with them instantly. Rick fixed my Mazda's power steering pump and spark plugs. He went on a test drive with me after the work was completed and adjusted a few things and topped off the oil for free. I was about to walk out of the store with my purse still laying on the ground and one of his employees stopped me and asked "hey miss is that your purse?" Wow! Just wow!!! These guys are so awesome, thanks a million! Take your car to them!!!

He gave him 2 options for appointments, specifically either Monday or Tuesday of the following week. When he was finished, I asked for an appointment, and he flipped through his appointment book and said there would not be an appointment available for months and months. This was curious as the customer before me got 2 options of appointments for the next week. I wonder if the difference was race based. I was able to get an appointment at another shop and do not recommend this place if you are not a white person.

Bunch of scam artists. If your repair will be cheap they'll lie and say there's no need for a…read morerepair so that it gets worse and they make more money later. I brought in my car for new break pads. They "inspected" and said the pads are fine even though they're squealing. Two months later it's getting worse and worse and I bring it back in and they go "oh yea the pads and rotors are shot". In case you don't know cars there's NO WAY that good pads go bad and ruin rotors in 2 months. Next I brought in my other vehicle because I could tell the hub assembly needed to be replaced. They said they didn't hear any popping (which is BS because it was as loud as a .22 being shot every time you turn in reverse) and their inspection showed no issues. A few weeks later I take it to a new mechanic because it's getting worse FAST and the hub assembly and now tie rod is shot. Don't take your car here no matter how desperate you are because they'll lie so they can make more money later.

I have been using Parchment Service Center as my exclusive maintenance shop for the past 11 years,…read moreand I can say that they have always gone above and beyond to take good care of me and my family. I have always felt like they have gone the extra mile to ensure that things are cared for efficiently and effectively. I know that they have have fit me in when they were already tightly scheduled, and I have never had a repair wherein something was left undone. Their pricing is competitive for both parts and labor, and it feels good knowing that my money is going to people who share this community with me. On the few occasions where they have been unable to book me promptly -- which have been rare, but stand as a testament to the quality of their work and the enthusiasm of their clientele -- they have made a point of letting me know exactly who they would trust with the work if I need it done in a hurry. Even so, except in one case where it was an emergency, I told them I was willing to wait the additional week or more to get my car in with them because of the bond of trust they had built. I was really surprised to realize that I had never left them a Yelp review, and thought I should rectify that today. Legitimately the best shop I have ever worked with, and only the shop run in the small town I grew up in has ever come close to this level of personalized quality and service. We are looking to move to a location closer to my work, and one of the things my wife asked me about moving was, "... we can still take our cars to Parchment Service Center if they need work, right?" Of course we can! Unless I move out of state, they've won my loyalty for life.
