    Do yourself a favor and don't use this shop! Terrible communication and unqualified to do repair they were doing.

    Southside Automotive - Invoice for my truck

    Southside Automotive

    Wow. Let me first start by saying I am a college aged girl with zero knowledge of cars. Literally…read moreevery place I've EVER been to I've felt as though the shop didn't value me as a customer EXCEPT THIS PLACE. Service was INCREDIBLE. I was nervous taking my 1978 truck anywhere, especially since it was running pretty bad. I had no clue what was wrong and after I ran it bone dry on gas (yes, i know) it wouldn't start. Shout out to marquette detailing as they towed it to south side's shop. I got a call the SAME DAY saying they looked at it and it just needed A LOT of tune ups. IT WAS READY LATER THAT DAY. Literally where else?!?! I know stuff like this depends on the issue, part availability etc but holy cow was I excited. I attached a picture of my invoice for anyone who is curious! The total was $656.88 Although obviously expensive and hurt my wallet, as soon as I started my truck, shifted into drive, and stepped on the gas, I knew they fixed the issues. My truck struggled going up hills (hard to drive in MQT) but now it runs SO SMOOTH. They also have an after hours pick up spot for your keys and it was very convenient, as I worked late that day. From the moment I stepped on the gas I knew they fixed it. A special thank you to Jerry Spruitenburg (service advisor) for making me feel like a valued customer and treating me so kindly, as well as the best tech around, M Codd (sorry I don't know your first name), for using your mechanical magic on my old Ford! It literally feels like a brand new truck!!! South side was truly the best place I've ever been. THANK YOU

    We were camping in the UP, 8hr from home and our alternator went out. Our battery died and Jerry…read morewas THE ONLY one to hold an emergency spot for us in a 20mile radius of Marquette that same day (everywhere else wouldn't help us for over a week). He ordered the part and the mechanic Marshall got us in and out in no time and did thorough testing. Thanks to them we made it home and it was a great price!

    A passing stranger honked at me & waved back at my 5th wheel trailer as he passed me. I pulled…read moreover & saw smoke coming out of the rear axle's driver's-side bearings. The bearings were destroyed on that left-side rear wheel. I was four hours from home, returning from a camping trip, and had no idea who to call for advice. The nearest town was Crystal Falls, MI. Google gave me a few different businesses who sold bearings, and I picked Old School Repair first just because I liked the name. It turns out I could not have made a better choice. Ron listened to my problem, asked a few questions, then told me I could limp into town on three trailer tires instead of all four. Fortunately I was only a couple of miles away! As I removed the wheel I saw it was hanging on the axle instead of riding on the bearings. Driving on it further would have ruined the spindle, necessitating a new axle. I pulled into the lot at Old School Repair and saw a "Closed" sign on the door, but it was noon; I figured the shop keeper had gone for lunch. I was right. It wasn't long before he returned with his take-out food boxes in hand. We greeted, discussed some options, and I left him to his lunch while I ate out in the camper. After lunch he already had a friend visiting, just to chat. They talked barbecue recipes and a big grilling event coming up. Eventually Ron got around to my trailer. I had a positive impression of his shop. Things were clean, everything was orderly, tools were properly put away, the floor swept, no clutter. Spare parts & projects already underway were correctly shelved out of the way, but clearly available as need presented. After looking my trailer's hub & axle spindle & bearings over, he had me move it tight up against his garage door so it would be in the shade on this hot/muggy day, and be up on the garage floor's concrete apron. He had a tough time removing the old bearings' races; they seemed welded on. But he had the skills and the right tools to get them off--a dent puller for the front race, and a rotary cutting wheel for the rear one when it wouldn't move with the dent puller. His close inspection determined the spindle wasn't so badly damaged it needed to be replaced. During the afternoon more of his friends or family showed up, and other friends and customers called on the phone. Ron made time for them all, as a one-man shop in a small town must do. I didn't begrudge him the time. I have patience, had no set schedule, and even had been mentally prepared to leave my camper if he couldn't get at it for a few weeks. It was obvious he's that busy. Ron had lots to talk about with me, as he got the hub off, pulled the necessary parts out of inventory (THAT was handy!), pounded out the old bearing parts from the wheel hub, and replaced them all. I was there for five hours, but 2 1/2 hours were Ron spending time with friends & family who'd stop by to chat, and with lunch, and with a pair of former customers that had much gratitude to him for saving them on a previous auto repair adventure--they even had two bottles of wine or liquor for him, since they were that happy he was able to help them with no appointment, had the parts in stock, and could do the work. I can relate first hand to their experiences. He taught me a lot about many things as he worked on my axle & bearings. About racing, running a shop with just one person (he had just hired a second mechanic that day, who was busy moving there from Illinois), about diesel engines and additives, snowmobiles, and of course, axles & bearings & lubricating them. He only charged me labor for the 2 1/2 hours he actually worked on my trailer. Between that and the parts & materials, I drove away from a potentially disastrous event, one which could have taken weeks or even months to schedule & repair at an RV shop, and I paid $310. He got me in without an appointment, accurately diagnosed the issue, had the right parts in hand, did the work with skill and care, and saved the day for me. Ron and Old School Repair were the right tool for the job, and I count myself lucky he was there, willing to help a stranger in need. Thank you, Ron.

    They took my car in for a headlight replacement, then explained I needed a new assembly and…read moreverbally quoted me a new one on the phone, I asked if I could purchase my own and bring it in. They said I could but said they would check their second-hand supplier. They called back and said they could get me a used one for $117 dollars. I asked them to order that part and we scheduled for a week later. They call me the day before my next appointment to say that they never ordered the part because they didn't know if I wanted it. I say no problem, and we reschedule for another week out. I get my car in the next week and they call me midday to explain that they can't align the headlights because the older headlight assembly is too oxidized, but they have a lens restoring system they trust and could use it then align the headlights. I reply that I'd like them to do it if it can be done today, but if not, that's okay and I'll pick the car up either way. At the end of the day they call to explain that they couldn't get it done, but I could schedule another time for them to finish it. When I arrive to pick up the car they give me an invoice with 2 concerning things: 1) A $350 headlight assembly billed because "that's the one they bought." 2)$110 dollars for a headlight alignment that never happened. I was able to let the shop manager hear the voicemail where they quoted me $117 dollars for the assembly. After that and a 5-10 minute conversation between their mechanic and shop manager, she offered me $140 dollar refund...still $90 more than their original quote for the assembly. They said they would do the alignment free of charge in the future, but left it on the bill for $110. I asked if she felt that they were obligated to the original quote for the assembly. She said no because that's not the one they bought and explained that their guy was "just learning the ropes." Overpriced, under experienced labor and poor communication on pricing. I want to keep my business at a locally-owned shop, but these guys are making it too difficult and too expensive. UPDATE: The shop manager contacted me over the weekend to apologize, make a plan for finishing the job and adjusting the pricing. Thanks for doing the right thing LeMoine's!
