A dead starter on Monday and no paycheck until Thursday? Not a problem!It has honestly been the most pleasant car troubles Ive had in my life. They even fixed up an exhaust rumble that Id just learned to deal with. Timely and understanding service is one thing, but great prices too? It was a pleasure to do business with them.

Great communication, didnt try to over sell! They held true to their schedule, and more than fair pricing. Jim, Craig and crew are ol school honest mechanics, Ive done business with for 25+ years!!! Thank guys.

Ive been taking my cars here for more than 10 years. Always reliable, always honest. I would definitely recommend them.

My Dad had his vehicles serviced there and I worked there for a few years. Jim Charvat is a good guy. It will be a loss to the industry and the local community when he stops wrenching.

Love this place. They have always given me a fair price and always do great work.

Very kind trustworthy staff. Im always able to get my car in and out in a reasonable time frame as well. :)

A local, friendly car shop that provides an array of maintenance to many vehicle models. I’ve taken both of my cars over the past 5 years and have always received prompt, honest service. They are affordable and fair with pricing compared to the high markup shops. I trust them- they have even covered and repaired things complementary when it was the result of prior work they had done that did not last as long as it should have.

I love this place I will keep going back they are so amazing!

Craig and his staff had the car up and looked at within 20 minutes of me dropping it off. Similar to a past experience I had with Charvats, Craig was honest with me, referring me to a place that could complete the work for a much cheaper price since the referral could replace the resonator instead of having to replace the whole exhaust system.Ive only had good experiences with Craig and Charvats!

Ive take my car there three times. All three times the service has been quality and prompt, Craig has been very honest and up front, and the price has been very reasonable. Today he talked with me on the phone and recommended taking it to a different type of place - only an honest business turns down potential customers in the interest of trying to serve their customers. I have nothing but good to say about Charvats.

These guys are great! Craig is very friendly and easy to work with, has good communication and always makes sure to give me accurate estimates before they go ahead with making repairs. Most of the time they have same day turn-around, depending on the repair and parts needed of course.

This is THE place to get your vehicle fixed for the lowest cost. For over twenty years Mr. Charvat and his team have always taken care of our domestic and foreign vehicles for the lowest cost in the least amount of time. Believe me, they know how to pinch a penny, which is what I want when it comes to keeping a vehicle on the road. Great Job Guys! 👍

Best mechanic shop in Grand Rapids. They have always been able to fix any problem I have within the day and truly care about their customers. Will be a life long customer. Jim & Craig & Chris do AMAZING work. You will not be disappointed with the work they do. They do not try to up sell you like the dealership does. They tell you what you need done and they fix it.

Most shops just want your money! They want to help! They are always fair and honest, letting you know what can wait or how to get the job done for less! Ive gone to them for 10 years and every single time Ive had to go to someone else because its an issue beyond what they can do, I always feel like Im being screwed and treated like a $ sign! The best shop in GR hands down!

Jim Charvat and the people working at his shop are the real deal -- honest, hard working, and they can fix pretty much any mechanical issue with any make or model vehicle. He kept my old Jeep running well past its prime, and he even takes care of our Mercedes from time to time, partnering with other shops in town in the rare case he doesnt have the specialized parts or equipment. Pricing is always fair, and when Craig answers the phone, makes our appointment, or takes our keys we know were going to get good advice and service. They really need to get a website. :) Highly recommended.

Great service everytime..

These guys are cut from the Old School.Honest, work with Integrity and even Try to Save You Money!!

They told me the best option was to scrap my vehicle. Then magically, the day my vehicle was going to be scrapped (by a person Charvats recommended me), the battery was stolen from my car! What a weird coincidence.

Great staff and service. Fair pricing, and repairs last over the long haul.

Long time customer. You won’t find a more honest group of mechanics who know what they are doing and talking about and who really work their tails off at what they do best!

This company has always been helpful and reasonable. I feel completely comfortable and confident bringing my car here for repairs.

Absolutely love this place. These guys are geniuses under the hood and my wife and I take both of our cars here. If you like overpaying and dealing with horrible customer service, dont come here. They just replaced my headlight for free!! A+

Extremely good service at fair prices.

Charvats is one of the most honest repair shops in Grand Rapids. They always do a great job.

I trust these guys with my life! They are as honest as they come and the best car repair shop Ive ever experienced.

Good honest people who do a great job on our cars!

The service I receive here is always above and beyond my expectations.

Good work , reliable, good prices

Great service!
