Brought car in to get small oil leak repaired. Broke a ball joint which they charged me over $100 and said hey, sometimes that happens but went from a small leak to a large on and this is what I paid $500 for???? And now they wont stand behind it to make it right. Stay far away from this place, worst service ever!!

Very impressed with transparency and speed of service. Scott told me they were booked out about a week, but I could drop my car off and if they had time earlier theyd get to it.Dropped my car off in the morning, it was diagnosed be noon, and then fixed before close. I came overstate how impressed I am with the combination of candor and flexibility.

Scott and his team are absolutely amazing. They won’t try to sell you unneeded services and give you a great price for the work they do. Highly recommend you check them out!

Car over heated and I stopped to see if I could get some water for the blown radiator. Not very helpful. Guy said they dont work on BMWs until he saw how easily the radiator is accessed. He didnt know I know about car mechanics and blamed the radiator issue on the age of the car (1997 though I keep it well maintained. I had to call AAA and have it towed to another shop.

This is far and away the best automotive service center I have ever been to. Honest, reliable and they go the extra mile for their customers. They are extremely knowledgeable and the work is always 100% done properly. My family and I will never go anywhere else. Thank you C.A.R.S.!

They were fantastic. A little difficult to get in the first time I called but then when I called back they made it a point to get me on the schedule. We did two oil changes within a few days and service was excellent both visits. Waiting area was very clean and kid friendly which was very nice with having to bring a 2 year old in to. They did a great job!

I really like this place. I was taking my car to another shop for the last couple of years. Recently ran into some issues with my Buick and was recommended a whole new engine at my last shop. Scott took a look at it and found 5 new codes not found at the last shop and was able to have it fixed in two days for way less than the cost of a new engine. Also recently had my tires rotates and breaks done there. Nothing but great things to say about their work and care.

I echo everything that has been said already. Scott is great, super friendly and knowledgeable and everyone there really cares about their customers. I have been bringing my vehicles here for repairs for the last 3 years and each time has been a great experience. I have had simple things like oil changes and brakes done, and complex things like a brand new transmission installed. Great honest service with a good price which means a great value!

I honestly cant believe Ive never left a review for CARS yet?! My family and I have been bringing our vehicles to CARS for years and years. It is the only place we bring our vehicles to get work done actually. They are honest friendly people who do great quality work at a great price! It just doesnt get any better than that. They are 100% trustworthy and wont suggest you do anything that doesnt NEED to be done. They arent pushy, and they understand circumstances and work with people! I would recommend CARS to anyone who wants to get quality work done, at a reasonable price, without repairing anything extra that your vehicle doesnt need! Also, I want to give a shout-out to Scott as well! We have talked to him everytime we call or come in. He obviously loves his job and enjoys helping people!

Scott and the rest of the team at C.A.R.S. are amazing. There is no other automotive shop I trust more than this one. The service they provide is beyond 5 star and they are always up-front and honest.

Once again, we received great service for our vehicles. I just had a new set of tires put on my wifes van (great tires) and an emergency repair on my van with an issue that happened the day before the 4th! They were quite busy, had reduced staff, and still managed to get my van repaired and ready to go by the time I got back from vacation today. All with my 100% confidence that the repair was done right the first time.Hats off to Scott (the service manager) and all at CARS.

Hands down the best auto repair facility in the area. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I feel comfortable bringing my vehicle there knowing it will be repaired properly and I wont be overcharged. I would recommend C.A.R.S to anyone looking for reliable mechanic. Plus Kelly in the office is awesome and the office dog is super cute.

I took my car here, as my step-daughter was so happy with the service. I went there, they were very friendly and helpful. They checked out by car and gave me an estimate, no charge. I decided to take my car in and I called and was able to get right in. They are fast getting you in, very friendly and have very fair pricing. I would recommend CARS to anyone I know who needs car services.

I started going here when I lived down the street, and I still go here despite the fact that I now live about a half hour away. It is more than worth the trip every time. Here I have found that you will get fast and excellent service from people who are passionate and reliable on what they do, all at a good price. They earn and deserve your business. I highly recommend you give em a try.

Review №26

Great work, great price! I stopped in on a Monday, got appt for next day, my car was fixed the same day! It was an engine/emissions system failure and I had no idea what was wrong. They ordered the part, replaced it and was done within hours! Awesome!

Review №27

Fair honest prices, FAST service (especially last minute before a long weekend), and very friendly staff. My girlfriend was very happy. Some places tend to talk customers or leave them in the dark. They kept her informed and she was in and out in about an hour. Great job guys keep it up!

Review №28

Fast, friendly and very knowledgeable. Unlike most auto repair places, I dont feel like Im getting bent over when I bring my car here. They always do a great job explaining the issues and telling me what needs to be fixed and what should be fixed but can wait, and I love that! I would recommend them any day!

Review №29

Big shout out to C.A.R.S.. My truck was voted to carry out a road trip with some folks and this required a substantial amount of work to be done. With a last minute phone call they got my vehicle in the week before the trip and took care of a list of things ranging from new breaks to a new exhaust manifold. Through the whole process Scott kept me informed with everything. Quality at its finest.

We use CARS Auto Repair to service our 8 trucks. The team at CARS is tentative and have a high level of customer service. They earned our trust over the last 5 years and will not hesitate to continue to use them as we need.When my wife or daughter have any issues with their cars, I can feel comfortable sending them into CARS knowing they will not be taken advantage of.Thanks CARS.Robert FreemanAbove Roofing

Review №31

Been a customer at CARS for about 9 years and I wouldnt even think about going anywhere else. I never have to wonder if a quote or recommendation is dishonest. They go out of their way to make sure you are getting the best price. I know I can rely on them to give me an honest opinion. They have always been up front regarding whether a repair is urgent or can wait awhile. From oil changes to hefty repairs I always feel I am getting the best service!

Ive lived in West Michigan my whole life and have never been able to find an auto mechanic that I trust. C.A.R.S. Auto is the first one I really like! Its a shame other places arent as honest and straightforward as these guys! Will always be my recommendation for auto work when asked! Thanks guys!

Review №35

Quite simply the most professional and trusted mechanics Ive ever dealt with. We have taken our vehicles to C.A.R.S. Auto Repair Service for close to five years and they have kept our aging cars running like new and in great repair without breaking the bank.A local dealer offered us a great deal on a suspension repair about a year ago and we declined and took the vehicle to C.A.R.S. Not only did they perform the repairs for substantially less than the dealers amazing discounted price they found additional items that the dealer had missed and fixed them too - still well under budget.I can not recommend them highly enough!UPDATE: We have taken both our vehicles back for service over the last year (this is normal for us as we drive well used, older vehicles) and CARS continues to be fantastic!

Review №36

Cars auto is a fantastic place to work with. They have serviced both my wifes car and my car. Staff is very friendly and helpful and will answer any questions you have. They also got back to us right away when we dropped a car off before hours for service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Review №37

I went to a shop close to me and they could not fix my car. My son recommended CARS. They told me how long to fix and estimate of cost for the repair. Both came in lower. Very friendly courteous service. Im a happy camper...actually I dont like camping, but I am happy.

Review №38

Consistently the most affordable oil change price while still maintaining a high level of quality. They communicate really well in discussing various options for repair. What I mean is, I drive a junker and it undoubtedly has many problems. They focus on the major problems while not trying to strong arm me into fixing the minors ones. Trustworthy and honest.

Review №40

Cars is always helpful.They get to my car quickly and explain to me what needs to be fixed and why.They do their best to not any unnecessary fixes but only what is needed and let me decide if there is more I want to fix instead of telling me to fix it all. I appreciate that!

Review №41

I have been taking my cars to this service for almost 12 years. I have never been dissatisfied. Today they fixed the air conditioning on my truck while I waited and the charge was less than $100 when I was expecting to be charged a few hundred. They are my repair shop as long as they are in business and as long as I own a vehicle.

Denny at CARS is a kind, honest, trustworthy and an extremely competent mechanic and owner. He only employs staff members who have embodied these principles, as well. If you use CARS for service of your autos you will never regret doing so! They will take care of you and you will be more than satisfied!!!!!!

Review №43

Recently took both of our vehicles into C.A.R.S.; one for a general overview after purchasing used and the other for major transmission work. Each time CARS did a great job of inspecting the vehicle, being honest about the current problems, helping to find the smartest cheapest solution, and getting the work done properly and promptly. They are a stand up shop! It is nice to have found a place I feel so comfortable with.

Review №44

I absolutely LOVE this place. My blazer needs a lot of work done and I dont trust anyone else to fix it. I have gone here multiple times even though there are multiple places that are closer to where I live. They are very honest and give you a fair price for the work. When I didnt have the money to fix my vehicle they helped me get a credit card that is only for them so I could pay for it. I have gone there about 5 times in the past couple years and every time I leave completely satisfied. Never have any problems!!

Review №45

Came in to get an estimate which only took about 15 minutes and then was told a very reasonable fix and price. Last time I got an estimate on my car at another place the estimate seemed way too expensive and they wanted to fix more than it needed. So far I am very happy with C.A.R.S.-Brianna Tuttle

Review №46

When it comes to your vehicles, having a repair shop that you can trust is extremely important. The gang at C.A.R.S. have always been upfront, honest, thourough, quick, and friendly. Stuff is gonna break on your vehicle. When my stuff breaks, I actually look forward to dropping it off at C.A.R.S. because I know itll get fixed right. Customer service is a lost art at most places. Find it again at C.A.R S.

Even though I live in Ada (and it is a bit of a hike), I always bring my car in to this facility for service. They offer honest opinions, estimates, and dont try to jack up the prices like other locations. Highly recommended.

I recently moved into the Jenison community and I have always believed in supporting local businesses. I needed some work done on one of my vehicles and decided to take it to CARS. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. Moreover, they did an excellent job on my vehicle repair and charged me a fair price. I am glad that CARS makes it easy for me to keep my longstanding belief that supporting your local businesses is one of the foundational pieces of having a thriving community.

Review №50

They were very straight forward about the work that needed to be done, their experience with such work, and how soon it would be done. They were very close with their estimate, even with the extensive work that needed to be achieved. They found a rebate on the brake pads we needed, and were kind enough to provide the form and a copy of the invoice to send with it. We expect to continue to be very happy with the outcome of their work.

Review №51

C.A.R.S. has come through for myself and my kids vehicles many times. Replacing radiators, brake jobs, tie rods, manifolds, and routine maintenance. They are very accommodating with quick turn around and attention to my needs. Always willing to answer the specific questions and offer alternatives to the repairs in question. I would recommend them always!

Review №52

I had my minivan repaired yesterday. Thankfully, I was able to get an appointment very quickly. Customer service was top notch. Phone calls were returned promptly. They only repaired what we approved and charged exactly what they quoted on the phone. CARS also provided a list of things we should think about repairing soon to keep it mechanically running well. We had two new tires and rear shocks repaired and the van is now running smoothly and ready for more road trips.

Review №53

Got our Mercury Mountaineer repaired and new tires put on. The price was fair and I really appreciated the price break on labor I was given due to the amount of work that was being done. I was also offered another price break on labor for some future work that needs to be done. Excellent service, friendly, HONEST!!!!

Review №54

Wonderful business!! Took my car in convinced it had a transmission problem. They could have easily quoted me for a transmission overhaul or a new transmission and Id have never known. However, they diagnosed a completely different problem (that will cost me FAR LESS to repair). They not only encouraged me to get other opinions if I was uncertain, they offered to give me the exact information that their quote was based on so I could be sure I was comparing apples to apples! These folks are down-to-earth, honest and very customer friendly!

I started going to C.A.R.S. because of a coupon I received. They have since become the only place I take our five cars to. They are always courteous to me.

I took my car in and they looked at my issues and gave me a written estimate first time there, knowing I was not sure where I was going to get my car fixed at, that I was just checking out quotes. Their pricing is fair and they got my car right in. They were extremely friendly, helpful and it was a positive atmosphere. I would recommend them to anyone who I come across with car repair issues.

CARS has been our go to for auto repair ever since we moved to Grandville. They are willing to explain the details and very helpful at resolving any issues.

We have taken our vehicles to CARS for several years now, and what I appreciate most is that they are so honest. We had a repair done, and within 3 months the car was making the same noises in the same area again. We brought it back and upon a quick inspection, CARS said the part they had used to replace the issue the first time had gone bad and they repaired it again for us for free! Kelly is so helpful and so friendly, she has literally become a friend of mine as I have had to wait for oil changes etc 😜Scott and Denny are awesome! They have squeezed me into their tight schedule more than once, and I trust their judgement very much! Thank you CARS!

Review №78

After a recommendation from a friend I finally took my car here. The guy called me within 30 minutes of dropping my car off to tell me the problem and asking what I wanted to get fixed. Im a women so he explained everything so simple anyone could get it, and b/c Im on a tight budget he told me what NEEDS to get fixed and what I could wait a few months before getting fixed. (which you never get from any autoshop) So after a few hours of work, I had my car back and couldnt be happier. Friendly service and great, honest people to work with. I am truly happy and will make this my new body shop.

Review №80

So I recently started a new job in Jenison (very close to Cars) didnt think nothing of it, until I had car troubles... So I stopped in and they were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and receptive to my situation. I have two vehicles well over 200,000 miles and like to take care of them myself. However I cant do everything and this is where Cars has came into play. Like I stated they were very helpful in resolving my issue (and only my 1 issue, as trust me, my car has more than the 1). But the honest, upfront type of conversation that seems impossible to get these days is still live and well at CARS. Overall, if you have an issue, please do yourself a favor, and at least, go talk to them. Pricing is fare (much less that the dealership) and their schedule accommodated mine very well (They drove me to work in my car and drove my car back to the shop, fixed it and came back to my work. Doesnt get better). To make a long story longer, take your problems to CARS, theyll get you solutions. Thanks CARS, Justin Hanna.

Review №81

Theyve always taken good care of my wife and my cars. Theyre honest in their repairs and assessments, do good work, happy to help, friendly..everything you need in a local mechanic. Once I had a car that was overheating. I didnt have time to mess with it so I dropped it off at CARS. A few hours later Scott called and said it was a loose radiator hose (doh!) and charged me about a half hour labor and the cost of replacement coolant. Could have told me any number of things and overcharged and I would have never known. Id recommend them to anyone.

My daughter is in Allendale going to GVSU and her brakes started acting up. I called C.A.R.S. Auto Repair because of the great reviews I found and I am so glad I did! Not only did they get to her car (even though they were incredibly busy) 5 days earlier than they thought they could, but it was completed within 24 hours! The price was very reasonable. I feel like my daughter has family at C.A.R.S. and they will keep her safe on the road!

So i got breaks from CARS auto about a year ago. About 6 months after i noticed a vibration in the steering wheel. Took the car in, they looked at it, replaced break pads at no charge and took care of the vibration. About 6 months later the vibration was back. They replaced rotors, break pads with a different brand completely free a year after i got the original breaks. These guys stand behind their parts and labor! great service, i highly recommend them.
