    It pains me to have to write this review, but I feel I would be remiss if I do not…read more I have been bringing my car to Jack's since 2017, with mostly positive experience. Aside from their archaic bookkeeping and scheduling method, these past few years of service have left me questioning. Let me start with the most recent issue. I brought my 2005 vehicle in for maintenance November 2024 and ended up with a considerable degree of rear tire/breaks/lines work amounting to almost $900. This past Wednesday (March 5, 2025), while driving to the east side of Michigan for a visit, I was almost to my destination when I heard a loud bang or pop and thought I lost a piece of my car; followed by loud piercing whistle and then the smell of burning rubber. I slowed and eased over off the road to find a flat rear passenger tire. Towed to Belle Tire to find out the entire back frame was rusted through. It jutted out and caused a rubbing against the tire, which finally blew. The gentleman who inspected the tire couldn't believe the outcome wasn't worse. When I mentioned the work back in November, he was shocked the condition of the frame did not alarm anyone and said they (Belle) could not, with good conscious, replace the tire to let me drive off when the outcome could be so very dangerous and not end well. Wouldn't you think that this degree of corrosion would have been noticeable back in November? Sadly, I will not be returning to Jack's for service on any future vehicles.

    Honorable prices, honest work, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them. I've taken trucks, cars,…read moreand vans here over the past three years. I've never been disappointed. Also, I saw the mechanic from my old work place here one day getting something fixed. That's sayin something.

    Usually only going out of my way to write positive reviews, but my experience at this Big Ray's…read morelocation today was terrible. While they are efficient and seemingly easy to deal with - I was hit with the charge for the service above basic this morning without being asked if it was what I wanted. It was not what I wanted, and it was unnecessary. I told the men working that this was not the service I wanted, why they would assume something above the basic service without asking, and that what they did was shady and didn't settle well with me. They had nothing to say. Needless to say, I won't be going back, because this is highly unprofessional, and I wanted to warn others in the event they get taken advantage of as well. What a letdown for a place that reviews so well (on google and facebook), and has treated me fairly in the past.

    This was seriously the worst "mechanic" shop I have ever been to. I went in for a simple oil change…read morewith my new to me Toyota Camry and when I drove away my car sounded like a diesel Volkswagen Jetta. By the time I got out of work the shop was closed so I went to a different mechanic which pointed out my air filter was put in the incorrect way and I was also missing the bolts that went to the casing around the filter. This was making my car misfire and my sensors go crazy!!! I went back to the oil change shop the following morning to ask for my money back since they completely messed up my car and they told me they wouldn't do that for me and they admitted that their phone there was inoperable and that corporate never answers their phone so there is nobody at this business helping with customer service. DO NOT GO HERE!!! Unless you want to deal with a headache also!
