It's my daughter. Repairs were made in a timely matter/same day. I will follow up with my daughter as to how the vehicle is performing. I know costs of everything has gone up and I haven't paid to have brakes replaced in nearly 10 years but ouch. My bad as I didn't compare other shops prices as the vehicle is a Mazda and not everybody works on these. Waiting room: 8. Counter staff: 10. Pricing: ?. Quality of work: Will find out soon.

I created an account just to write this review. I recently have had some bad experiences with…read morevarious mechanics in different cities and wondered what the reviews looked like for my old mechanic in my home town. I saw there was only 1 and felt I should add my experiences. My family has been taking our cars here for almost 30 years. Extremely reliable and honest service. Fast, fair prices, straight talk and no upsells or unnecessary work. They find what's wrong, fix it, and nothing more. What else can you ask for? We have had numerous quick repairs done at no cost and some extensive diagnosis work done for very little or free. I personally have lived in various cities and been to countless mechanics with numerous cars and have not yet found a repair shop as reliable as Woodwards. When someone asks me if I know a good mechanic in my current city I say "No, but let me tell you about my mechanic in Kalamazoo"

I am also a longstanding (15+ years) of Woodwards and this shop is clearly not Woodwards. I don't…read morethink they'll last more than a year or 2. Received an estimate of $12, 000 and got the work done for less than $2,000. They are not reliable or trustworthy. This is a shop that I would never return to.

Shoemaker's looked at the report then upon further inspection (cleaned under the car, then attempted to drive it around so they can see whether it would leak) found that there was actually no leak at all! They are very thorough in their care for the car and took the time to explain everything to me, they saved me from having to pay for an expensive and unnecessary service I would have had at Toyota. They are incredibly friendly and courteous even offering to drive me home after they found out i was planning on walking in -9 degree weather. I will be back and Shoemaker's will be my go to mechanic.

Tom was patient with us, understood her need to get her car back quickly. Unfortunately there was an issue with a part and it had to be rebuilt - he did this under the warranty and again was patient and kept in communication with us. He even kept at his shop while we were on vacation after it was done to keep it safe. I'd highly recommend Tom and Superior to anyone in the area needing transmission work.

I had mixed emotions about this place at first but I came to realize it was because the person who…read morewas there and willing to help me was from another city and just happened to be in town helping his GM. My mom's vehicle overheated and it happened a few feet from AAMCO. It was a Sunday so they weren't open but someone was there so it all seemed like devine intervention. The guy who was willing to bend over backwards to help me was named MOSES and he was from Holland. He assured me that it would be taken care of and they would be fair. He located the issue and said it just needed a hose replaced for the coolant overflow tank. Simple procedure but he left. I got the quote afterwards and they said $411 to replace the hose. Which is CRAZY. I called around and EVERY other place said they would charge around $100-$150 to replace it I just had to buy the part. Unfortunately my parents are old school and wanted to just have it done where it was as opposed to going the cheaper route. They finished the job in less than an hour and were ready for me to come pick it up. When I got there I was told that I would need to jumpstart it because the battery was no good and needed to be replaced. Only thing was there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with the battery before it was left at this company. I was told it would need a jump every time I start it because the battery was just no good. So now the vehicle needs something else done that wasn't even an issue before they got the truck. They thought we would just have them fix that also but since I KNEW they had sabotaged the battery I took it elsewhere. They take advantage of a person when you're down and out and in need of a helping hand. They have no problem overcharging and will destroy something in your vehicle to provide more work for themselves, which shows absence of morals. Moses was AWESOME, but he doesn't work there, he is from Holland. Would not recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a FAIR deal!!

One time, they over filled my oil, leaked on my garage floor, so they had to redo the oil change. They made it right so I returned.

Today I was charged $30 more for the same oil change as 3 months ago. I was told 'they used to charge too little'. Well I used to be a loyal customer but loyalty does not matter at this location.

They say a fool and his money are soon parted. Not at Muffler Man…read more I've been to this Muffler Man location a few times with two vehicles over the last half-decade or so. I need an auto shop I can trust because I'm not enough of a gear-head to answer my own questions. Twice recently I've walked in talking like any crooked mechanic's ideal chump customer: no idea what's wrong, but ready to pay to fix it. Example 1: A year ago I brought my trusty old rust-bucket of a car in for a noisy exhaust. Nobody would've blamed them for simply doing the work I asked, but they did even better. They started with an inspection of the vehicle, and found a number of issues more serious than a mere noise problem. After checking with me, they started tallying up an estimate. Their official diagnosis: they *could* do a couple thousand dollars of repairs for me, but said I'd be wiser to save that money and put it toward buying a new car. Charge: $0. Example 2: Monday I hit a whopper of a pot-hole in my aforementioned new car. It blew out my tire, and bottomed-out my vehicle enough to dent the bumper. After getting the tire fixed the car felt fine, but I brought it to Muffler Man for an inspection, just to be sure the impact didn't cause any trouble. Their official diagnosis: no problems, nothing to fix. Charge: $0. I genuinely believe the folks who operate and run this shop would rather have a reputation for honesty than to have ill-gotten money. That's better than value -- that's values. That's why Muffler Man is my mechanic.
