Traveled to area from out of town when my brakes started making horrible noise. Went into AAA Auto Repair. Although they were very busy, John was very accommodating and got my car fixed same day so we could continue on our way. All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They put in quality ceramic brakes at a good price and offered to back up their work and products if I have any issues what so ever. I cannot thank John enough. Highly recommend this shop.

The guys who work here are really nice and helpful. This place actually gives old fashioned service. They are honest, and upfront about costs and very reasonable for what they charge for repairs. I always recommend John Larrata and his business when people have car problems.

I moved to Michigan a couple of years ago, and only recently was able to afford to do work on my vehicle. I have found the local shop to fix what I need fixed. Honest, fair, and quick are words that describe that shop.They fixed my AC, replacing my compressor and recharging my system. Its good to have AC again after 4-5 years of no AC. Quick test to see where the leak was at before deciding replacing the compressor was the best solution (definitely my decision). This was the original suggestion by Ford 4 years ago (it was Friendly Ford in Roselle, IL, not Siemans in Bridgman)...but I was not impressed with the level of information I got from them. John answered all my questions and kept me informed about the repairs. Cost to do all this (everything mentioned in this review) was less than what Ford was going to charge me for just replacing the compressor 4 years ago.They fixed my corroded transmission cooler lines, which I attempted to patch when they started leaking. I expected those would require complete replacement of the lines, as Ford would no doubt do if I asked them instead. They replaced the affected sections of the lines and saved me a good chunk of change. Im sure they got a good laugh off the patch I applied.On basically the morning of the day I would get my truck back, I asked them to see if they could remove the rusty running boards on my truck. This was not something I asked them to do originally. They said no problem, and even offered to cut them from the truck if they couldnt unbolt them (the bolts were very rusty). They got them unbolted and there was no real delay in when truck was available for pickup. Very much improved the look of my truck...as they were a real eyesore. Thanks guys!Also got my transmission fluid and power steering fluid topped off while it was there. Its good to have power steering again.Im just overall very happy with the money I spent with them. He doesnt want me to sink too much money into my 19 year old truck. However, its not looking like Ill be switching vehicles any time soon, so Ill be bringing more business to them in the future. Definitely have some more stuff to fix.

I took my car to them thinking i had a transmission issue..I left it with them.was expecting it would be there some hours..by time i made it back home John was calling telling me i can come get it..when i got there he popped my hood and put car in gear mashed the gas..showed me something completely different..It was the motor mount.not transmission..so i took the car back to were i purchased it.They half did the job..I would like to thank John cause he didnt even charge me..i would choose AAA AUTO REPAIR ANYTIME ESPECIALLY compared to these bootleg mechanics i been introduced to..When i need a job done to my car again..Most definitely gonna call AAA..Thank you John..GOD BLESS YOU!

Extremely helpful owner. Very willing to help me. However, I wasnt able to get back to his place of business earlier. Hope I will be able to when I am over that way again. I would recommend calling ahead to get your needs met.

Our reviews are GENUINE and from our customers personal experience at AAA auto repair, we dont have to offer a discount for a customer to leave a 5 star review on Google.

What happend to me today with these people was just great!! The most honest people that I ever deal with Period I was told by other mechanic that wheelbearing hub need to be replaced on my GMC a few days ago by the way he Could not do nothing??? So I call these people yesterday to do that and they told me to bring in over today I did and my truck do not need any wheelbearing replaced in the first place and 2nd these people fix the problem at not cost. For my surprise the problem was make from the same mechanic that told me wheelbearing need to be replaced a year ago?? Did you get it people? My point its these people Could replaced the parts and charge me for something that I dont Even need it..and they were so honest to me and explain me the issue and fix it..I just wonder why his shop its always empty?? And why so many people had problem with him? All I can do its continue praying for you and your family.. God bless AAA Auto Repair owners and made them prosper spiritual that its more important and economic.

I was recommended to AAA after getting a week-long runaround from Brookfield, directly across the street. I brought my truck in Wednesday morning, and it was fixed, and ready for me by Thursday afternoon! The quote came in almost exactly where I expected it to, and at LESS THAN HALF of the dealer across the street! These guys catered to my needs, and made everything incredibly convenient. I would highly recommend AAA for anybody whos searching for a good, honest mechanic. I will definitely be back, and am excited to share the good word with anyone whos having auto issues.

He wont try to cheat you out of money or price gouge you on anything. Way more affordable than any other place in town! And he always squeezes me in, even if I call him last minute. Highly recommend!

By far the MOST honest mechanic I’ve found locally! John saved me HUNDREDS of dollars on a simple brake job and sway bar link. He was able to beat competitors prices by nearly $1000 for the same job!I will definitely be back for all the automotive needs and highly recommend John and his crew to anyone who needs work.I was able to walk in and have my entire job completed in about an hour.I’m very very happy with my experience.

John was incredible! We broke down the day before a holiday weekend and he stayed past closing just to make sure we were helped above and beyond what he needed to do. The level of service was beyond anything I would have imagined and I can only say that I was lucky enough to break down in the area. Despite not being from Benton Harbor, I will be going out of my way in order to take my vehicle to this place again just to know that I am getting professional, high quality and personal care from an amazing business. Appreciate the help

If you want personal attention, great prices, and expert advise and repairs, this is the only place to go. I have successfully followed John and his seasoned mechanics for years through four vehicles! I currently have 220,000 miles on my Ford Edge and I owe that to their great work on my car! I recently took my vehicle in to the new location at AAA and nothing has changed in my expectations and results. Best of all, John never repairs anything without discussing with me first and he is such an honest person. He will tell you if he thinks everything is fine! If you want that old fashioned service and relationship with your mechanic, look no further. He earns your trust and keeps it.

John takes care of our HVAC Companys Fleet - He makes sure there is personal attention to every detail on our fleet, as safety is very important! Incredibly reasonable pricing, personal attention, and very honest - our company, employees families, and my own family will not consider another mechanic - there is no comparison to his attention to detail! Thank you!

Personal,, fast, professional service!! You get to talk directly wth the owner and mechanics. Not some service manager that doesn’t have a clue what’s going on with your vehicle. Affordable pricing and John the owner is up front and honest . He will not try to up-sell you on Services’s you do not need.

John Laratta is the most honest mechanic I have gone too. I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring convertible (this car is not easy to work on). I was referred to John by another friend who said he has done great work. My car had a misfire and an oil leak. When I dropped my car off, I get a phone call a few hours later laying out everything that they have done to diagnose it and wanted to let me know 1st, and how much it was going to cost. For the amount of work they put in, I was very very pleased with repair bill! I would recommend this to anyone who reads this or needs a repair. I would not go to any other place then aaa auto repair in Benton harbor, MI. The highest standard and quality in the area!
