We were very fortunate to find Kurt's. Thank God!!!
My girlfriend heard a bad squealing coming from the left front tire (which turned into a horrible grinding), and she should have pulled over and called a tow, but she drove on it for 40 more miles, and really jacked it up bad.
As the boyfriend, I was charged with finding a good and honest mechanic in her new city of Highland, Michigan (the pressure was on) [my girlfriend was freaking out].
I researched for 3 hours all over the internet (and Yelp of course). Every place had both good and bad reviews, but Kurt's seemed to have way more good ones, and what I read, led me to call them.
I spoke to Karen, the receptionist, who was very helpful, kind, reassuring, and surprisingly knowledgeable & informative concerning mechanical issues.
They were very busy, but it only took one day for them to get the truck looked at, and give us the estimate. And only one more day to get the extensive work done (CV Axle Shaft, Wheel Hub Assembly, Brake Rotors & Pads, etc).
The invoice was simple, detailed, and verifiable. And based on the cost for parts, the total charge could not have been any less. I was pleasantly shocked at how reasonable it was.
I wasn't available to drive her in to get her truck, so Kurt's sent a guy to pick her up. Nice.
I'M NOT DONE!!!
The next day, the truck was running like a champ, but the front headlights were not working. I called to let them know, and they said bring it in. They checked it out within 15 minutes. Both bulbs were out (ostensibly broken during the aforementioned very rough and ill-advised 40 mile drive on broken equipment). O'Reilly's Auto Parts was across the street; we got the bulbs, and Kurt had them put in (no easy task on a Chevy Avalanche) for NO CHARGE!
Very Honest, Very Friendly, Very Good & Quick Work, Definitely Recommending.
Finding a loyal mechanic is one of the most important things: Mission Accomplished.
P.S. I'm posting this same review on Google Reviews, because Kurt's deserves it. read more
