As an update to my earlier review I received a phone call directly from the owner. Once we had the…read moreopportunity to finally connect (mostly my fault due to travel), he expressed his concern for the situation and was very interested to hear about my experience. He was able to offer some further explanation and wanted to express that there was miscommunication about the type of battery and the options that could have been offered that had not been previously discussed. He listened carefully to my explanation of the events and offered solutions to correct the situation in a suitable manner which was greatly appreciated. He approached it professionally and with genuine concern, and with that, I believe it is the right thing to do to on my end to recognize his efforts and update my earlier comments. I appreciate the perseverance in reaching out to me in addition to his willingness to turn a bad situation into a fair and equitable solution. Much appreciated!

People in town told us that this was THE place to get our Subaru's oil leak looked at. We'd bought…read morethe car with already 130,000 miles on it, and already losing oil, but it was getting worse. We were a little discouraged when no one answered the phone when we called, but got smart and drove not up to the small entrance in the mini-mall off Front Street, but up behind it via Hampton and the parking lots behind the Women's Center. There we found a busy shop and staff happy to make an appointment to look at the car. We later learned that sometimes the phone does get answered, but not to worry when it does not. We made the right choice. The estimate was more than reasonable for the amount of work involved and the work was done promptly and well. No one tried to bamboozle us or mislead us into getting work that was not necessary. This isn't a fancy place, but it's an honest one, run by hard-working people who know what they're doing. Highly recommended.

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 thought bringing a foreign car to the rugged north - with no dealership in sight - was a dicey decision, but the folks at Ideal have taken care of everything that our precious VW Beetle needs. I feel that we are treated very well and we receive expert care here. As a woman, I'm giving extra kudos for the Ideal staff, because they make me feel heard and respected. I am an old school motor head, having wrenched on cars with Dad decades ago. Sadly, so many shops and dealerships have acted as if I didn't know a dipstick from a torque wrench. The folks at Ideal put me at ease right away and make me feel very confident with their estimates and opinions. While I never hope to have car trouble, I hope that I can always limp to Ideal to get things fixed!!
