He had done my front brakes on my car & said my tie rods needed to be done. I asked him if he could…read moredo that, he said yes but I'll need an alignment after, which is no biggie, but yeah, I'd like to get that done too soon. Then he left for a month, funeral or something, which is understandable. Then he texts me about a month later asking if I needed anything else done, which I said yeah, the tie rods would be great. He has me order the parts & then sets up a day to come over. Ok cool I'm thinking, I get everything planned out, parts are delivered, I let him know & he says he'll be by in 3 days after 6pm. An hour before he's supposed to be there he texts that his daughter is sick & he is starting to feel sick too & he will get a hold of me when he figures out his schedule. 3 days goes by with nothing, I text him finally to find out what's going on & that I'm probably going to have to find a real mechanic to do the work & he says he won't be able to work on my car because life overwhelmed him this past week/weekend. So, now I have a box of parts from Rock Auto that I think I need on my car, but not sure.

D&W used to service transmissions for a small mechanic shop I worked at in Leelanau county, so I've seen them do over 40 transmissions in my short time as a mechanic. We never had a problem with any of their work! Not a single tranny, and I'd be willing to bet that's the norm for Wayne and the D&W crew. So now, when the trans in my plow truck finally had had enough, I confidently took it to D&W. Wayne took me for a diagnostic cruise in my truck so he could explain what was happening and what would have to be done for repairs. It's great that he took the time to help me understand how and why! I do most repairs on my vehicles, but transmissions are over my head, can't thank you enough D&W!!

We were camping at Ludington State Park when our truck started leaking transmission fluid and…read moreneeded repair. We found Mick's and are so glad we did! They were upfront about costs, showed us pictures of the problem through their app, and worked hard to get it fixed before we had to leave. What really stood out was Mike giving us a ride back to our camper and even dropping our truck off when it was done--that was a huge stress relief since we had no other transportation. They provided great service, and if we ever need service again in the Ludington area, we'd definitely go back to them.

These guys are by far the best auto repair place in mid Michigan area ! I've taken two trucks to…read morethem and had major repairs done. One had 4wd problems & one shop here in Harrison was quoting $1000 before they even started. These did a complete exam & charged me less than $100 to fix a simple repair. The other truck was a different story, I just had a truck rebuilt & had spent big money from front to back rebuilds. The rear diff was going bad & I knew it was gonna cost me. Looked around & was getting prices around $2000 and that was on putting a used one in from a junkyard. Took it to these guys & got the whole thing rebuilt for less than a grand. Also my rebuilt engine was springing all kinds of leaks including a rear main seal . The place I had the work done was in the Detroit area. Knowing they didn't do a great job the first time & already taking it back twice, I called Lake to see what they could do. As always, he took great care of me , actually replaced almost every gasket in the engine & fixed it right the first time. I work in an auto parts store, so I deal with shops everyday. One thing I can tell you, if you can find a good shop that isn't looking to over charge you, your lucky. Not only do they guys charge a better than fair rate, their work is top notch . That's the reason I felt compelled to leave this review, not only to give these guys their due but to help people find a good repair place . Can't say how lucky I was to find them !!!!!

WARNING: DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS!!! DO NOT BUY CARS FROM DOUG AT…read moreMCLAIN!! DO NOT TRUST DOUG OR MCCLAIN's!! DOUG IS NOT HONEST NOR FRIENDLY!! YOUR REPAIRS WILL ONLY LAST A SHORT TIME!! YOU WILL BE BACK!! (From experience!) Fall 2023: Car transmission disconnected from engine and van ceased to move. Car acted like it was in neutral... Had car towed first to another local mechanic. He said most likely transmission was out. Then had car towed from that town to McClains (60 miles). Car sat for over a week in McClain's lot without being looked at. When Doug (owner) was asked how long it will be to look at the car, he was irritated, dismissive, and acted like I was "bothering" him (as a customer). Doug and crew finally examined the car and said the problem was internal and would cost $3000.00 - 4000.00. We could only sell the car for much less (under$1000) because the repairs (according to Doug!) would be more than the value of the car. "Sold it to a backyard mechanic. He found a "transaxle disconnect" problem (replaced a short time ago by another mechanic) and said the transmission was just fine. Our loss! ANGRY!!! BEWARE!!!"

Pretty rude and unresponsive. After getting their diagnosis,…read moreI called and left 3 voicemails with questions and ultimately decided to take it to another shop for a second opinion. When I showed up to pick it up, the owner gave me a lot of attitude over the phone and acted like he was totally unaware of my messages. I don't know why they have a voicemail if they don't check it. They then charged me for their diagnosis, which it sounds like was just driving the car for a few minutes.
