I've been taking my vehicles here for years and every single time I leave knowing I was given the best deal around for quality work. Above all, these guys are honest. It's the only place I know of where they actually take the time to listen, explain, and find the best option for your situation. I trust what they tell me and have never been let down. It's good to see someone carrying on the tradition of integrity in West Michigan. Just a really good, down to earth shop.

I was once told by a dealer's service department where I bought the car that my car needed brakes and it was unsafe to drive home. This didn't sit well given the car's mileage so I took the car to Spaanstra Bros. They showed me that my brakes were well within the safe operating level. Ten thousand miles later, I had the brakes done and they were still good although getting close to needing replacement. Of the repairs and service I've had done here over the years, they may not be the least expensive, but I feel I'm receiving value as a result of their competence and honesty. Highly recommended.

Spaanstra Brothers is nothing flashy, but they're easy to work with and fair with the quote. I hope I don't need car repairs anytime soon, but if I do, I'll take my car there. Don't expect to just drive up and get service, they're a small shop and if they're busy, they'll tell you. (That's okay by me, it means they they're busy because they're good! Also, I've had that bad experience where a place takes your car and takes way longer than they say they would, this place will be honest up front.) Note: It's super easy to get Spaanstra Brothers confused with Veenstra's Garage, which is just down the road across the street.

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.

They have 'saved the day' countless times and gotten our vehicles back on the road within hours of them breaking down. It can be a gamble buying used vehicles but having Charvat's in our corner gives us a peace of mind because they are honest and more than fair in pricing. They've also looked over vehicles before we purchased them to give us their opinion if it's a good buy or not. I cannot gush enough about how much I appreciate these guys! On top of the great work they do, Craig is the nicest guy I've ever met. I moved out of state for awhile (which I was nervous to do because I was taking my older Jeep and wouldn't have them around) and he came across my file so he decided to call me and ask how the drive was and see how I was doing. Seriously- the nicest!
