They advertise as being a 10-Minute Oil Change, but Chris and Tyler were extremely efficient and completely serviced my car and changed the oil in even less time than that. My wife and I live in Cross Village and always use this location if we need an oil change and are in Petoskey or the area. The service is always great, but the service provided today by Chris and Tyler was exceptional. In addition to potential customers, I hope the owner of this oil change facility reads this review and give them the pat on the back they deserve.

A nice young man explains the oil differences and pricing. So, I ask if they have a combo package of oil change/car wash. "Sir, I'm washing your car for free with today's service!" Within 10-15 minutes he's taking my payment and handing me an exiting packet. Car is clean, check engine light gone, this will score major points with Mrs. E!!!! An hour later I pick her up from work...she didn't notice a thing. Oh well, not only did I get a much needed oil change, my fluids were topped off, they inspected filters, tested the signals and lights, checked tire pressure and washed the car for under $100 (including tip). We'll be back! 11/23

Bill's Standard Auto Repair was already closed, but we parked in the lot, dropped our keys into the key drop-off box with a note, and then called the next morning.

They're located next to an auto parts shop, so they're able to get pieces pretty quickly too. They were really nice in person and are only a few minutes outside of downtown Petoskey. I'd definitely recommend them!

I will avoid going here again at all costs. I went for an oil change and reminded the techs that my…read morecar took 6 quarts of oil. They assured me they knew and would add the proper amount of oil. I was charged for the extra oil, which was fine because it was needed. I asked the tech, Daniel, if my engine looked like it was burning or leaking any oil. He stated "no" my engine looked good. HOWEVER, with 51% of my oil life not used, my oil light came on. I was back in the Chicagoland area and went to my regular dealer. When they checked my car it had less than 2 quarts of oil left in it. I again had the engine checked and there were NO signs of it leaking or burning oil. When I came back to Charlevoix I spoke with Daniel again. He said my car is known for burning oil. I pointed out the only time it happens is when I need to go to a quick oil change place like his. He looked at my receipts and saw the other place used the same type of oil as they did. When I asked if my regular dearer used magic oil, he did not have a response other than my car must be burning oil despite no one including him being able to see it. I have owned this car for four years and this is only the second time it has been low on oil, and both times I needed to get the oil changed at a quick oil change location. There was no offer to correct the mistake or to credit a future service. Needless to say I will never go back here again and would not recommend it to anyone, especially people from out of town.

They don't just do tires and brakes - we've had their help for a variety of car troubles. Eric is the type of owner who still answers the phone and is in the shop almost every day. He'll tell you when something's beyond his scope instead of getting every last cent out of you. They have a very normal policy for a non-franchise, locally owned business, of not installing brand new tires that are purchased elsewhere. They are happy to install used tires, but as one would expect, are not going to enable someone buying tires at a discount place and then using their services. This is posted on a sign on their door and their staff is upfront about it as well. If other reviewers were told this on a phone call, it sounds like Royal was as upfront as they could be. Certainly nothing deserving a one-star review. I trust them with anything, and took the time to update my review because that other review guy ticked me off with his pettiness, lol.
