My hood release was damaged after going to this service station and I am having to repair it right now. I am furious with the service received, not only could they not do the repair I needed but they damaged my car, wasting my time.***********Reply to owner:It is true that I don’t have definitive proof that you damaged my car, but I do know the following:On August 4:- Your team discovered the damage.- You and your team did not inform me that the hood release was discovered as damaged .August 10:- I discovered the damage and returned to your shop- You confirmed that the hood release was discovered damaged.- You advised me to go to a body shop to get it released and then come back.The problem I have is the following:- Letting me leave your shop with a hood release that was broken and not informing me of this that day. I need to trust that the service shop I use will fully inform me of the condition of my vehicle.- Advising me to go to a body shop to release the hood shows the lack of ability or willingness to solve the issue. If I were to get it released at a body shop, I would then have the issue of getting the vehicle back to your shop without it being securely held down.My solution:- I found a service shop to fix the issue.- I left this post since I received a survey request via email.- Not sure why you are negatively describing my 2001 S4 Avant, it has been a great car for me and I wish to keep it on the road as long as possible. Same with my 2017 Audi Q7 and my 56 Ford Victoria.All of the above are facts. Maybe you didn’t damage my car, I don’t have the proof either way, but the above experience is disappointing.
Very convenient diagnosis notification by email. No pressure to do everything. Got it fixed within 12 hours of drop off. Will be using again.
I needed cv boot and possibly axel replacement. I called around for many different quotes. They were so kind and very informative right off the bat. I asked uneducated and educated questions about the service, the cost, the timing, the parts and many more.They were patient, knowledgeable, and very thorough with their explanations and did not judge me, as a woman, asking uneducated questions about the service.I dropped my car off when it was time for my appointment and they assured me that my car would be ready the same day. It was! And even better yet, the price was fair and lower than everyone else’s. Other’s told me they had to include other things in the service in order to preform the service that I needed. Dykstra’s explained to me that they will not perform any service that does not need to be.I 100% will be back to Dykstra‘s if the need ever presents itself again.
Always happy to work with Dykstras. The staff with whom Ive interacted are extremely welcoming, professional, friendly and take time to explain recommendations and also answer questions (especially grateful since I dont know a ton about all the mechanics of cars). I also appreciate that the recommendations they make are ones they have done/used on their personal vehicles...gives a little more credibility and weight in decisions we make for our vehicle. They also work to make sure we get our best deal. Happy to recommend Dykstras Auto.
Brad is very professional and knowledgeable, they replaced my engine and did a great job kept me informed on what was going on with no pressure applied. I had a loaner to use which made the experience even better.
Service was great. Service rep/ mechanic was so friendly and explain what was wrong with my car. What it took to repair it. It was done in a timely manner.Once again I was very impress with the service I received. So happy they were recommend to me.
I used this company once 5 years ago to repair a flat tire I had. I was actually happy with the tire replacement and speed at which they did it. When I went in, I mentioned two other specific issues that I wanted to know if they could fix.When I got a call, they had done a full inspection of the vehicle for $100 and highlighted $3,000 worth of things needing fixed. It was a beater car, this was not what I asked.I told them that I had not asked them to do this, and had to argue for hours with staff and managers about it. Eventually they did opt not to charge me for the inspection.Since that time, I have received e-mails, phone calls, and text messages from this company about oil change services, brake services, and other random advertisements. It has been over 15 separate advertisements. Every single time i try and OPT OUT of being contacted in this manner, and yet its still 5 years later and Im still getting messages from them.I will never use this shop again.Edit: theyve just claimed their opt out system isnt working. Thats 5 years of me telling them to stop spamming me, opting out, and unsubscribing. Quite the system failure over 5 years. Wonder how long it will take them to get your car right.
I had new shock n struts installed and an alignment. They did end up becoming faulty and they performed warranty fixes on the parts and I could not be happier. They care about their customers and they do good work. Will definitely keep going for repairs that I cannot perform myself.
Great communication and made sure they used the right parts to save me money!
They were kind and I could tell they were honest people not trying to scam! Help me understand things that were wrong and fixed! Will be going back here- great service!
Great and comfortable staff easy to talk too about problems and very helpful with solving the problems five stars 🌟 For them
Had these guys do a PPI for a car Im a few hundreds miles away from. Very reasonable fee, and checked car out in GREAT detail. Strongly recommend.
Weve been in the USA for four years so far and we had our best car mechanic experience with Dykstra Auto. Thank you
Great staff. Very friendly, honest and professional. They do great work every time I go there.
Charged me over $200 for a diagnostic to say there waserosion a front fuse block, Fox Motors fixed it for $250. Never got any kind of written information or anyting. I would not likely go to this place again or suggest it to anyone else
Came in with a dragging heat shield after a snowstorm, that was just picking up snow and was going to eventually just snap off. Not being from the area, I lucked into finding this shop near our hotel, timing worked out and they got me fixed up and back on the road within half an hour! Saved my wife and I’s trip. Eternally grateful! Thank you guys so much!
Excellent customer service. We appreciate the photo documentation and clear explanation on work suggested and accomplished. This is our trusted auto repair center.
Very good service. Very promptly got me in for my repairs since it was my work truck. Highly recommend to anyone.
Highly recommend this shop. Ive been a customer for many years under multiple shop managers and they consistently deliver excellent customer service. Some things I always love are their ability to have honest conversations about the condition and safety of a vehicle, as well as the level of effort they put in to find quality, affordable parts for any repair needed. That, combined with top notch customer care treating their customers like they would a friend or family member makes for a shop worth sticking with in my mind. Ive been recommending them to everyone I know for years and plan to continue doing so.
Im completely satisfied with the brake job I had done I should have followed my first mind and what to them sooner instead of trying to save a buck with someone else
We have been using Dykstra services for 3 years now. They were a family recommendation but quickly won us over with their customer service and knowledge base.The online diagnostics sharing they provide along with detailed inspection notes, recommendations, and urgent needs make maintaining a car much easier to an average person like me.**We have been customers of both the Kentwood and Airport locations. The service between both is seamless, we had zero hiccups and it felt like we had been using the Airport location the entire time. That is a testament to the service and care they provide. I forgot to even mention that this review involves two teams at two locations both excelling![EDIT] - Updated to reflect two locations.
My experience has been very satisfying. They are fair, reliable and provide excellent service.
This is a company you want to do business with! They go above and beyond in every way
Friendly and professional staff. Quick and affordable service.
After years of poor service at my dealership, I had finally had enough after my last oil change. I brought my car to Dykstra’s for new brakes (and other things that were found on inspection that were missed by my dealership) and was blown away by how professional, honest, and accommodating they were. I don’t think I’ll ever bring my car anywhere else.
They always do a great job!
Friendly, kind, honest, have a shuttle. What more could you ask for from a mechanic?
Very fair and honest place to get work done.
Was disappointed that they didnt get to it when I thought they were going to so it was very late completed and their pricing is higher than others in the same area. I was happy with the effort to get the work completed and they were friendly.
Dykstra Auto Service at the airport has been my go-to place for repairs, maintenance and advice for 7 or 8 years!
As always, the work is done very quickly by friendly staff.
Dykstra’s Auto is great. Shop manager is very helpful and their mechanics do good work. They also have a great shuttle service. Would recommend them to anyone needing a mechanic.
These guys are great. Called in the morning because I had car problems. I got there they didn’t know what I was talking about, well I had called the wrong place but they got me in checked out my car. I was having a very bad week but they took care of everything for me, gave me a loaner car. I will definitely go back to them again.
I came early and they took my vehicle back right away. And then they completed the job 10 minutes before they had said it would be done! Her facility and waiting area is pristine and clean. Love the coffee and the sitting area.
Dykstras Auto has the best customer service, whether its over the phone or in person. They give you their full attention and make sure all your questions are answered. After each visit, they send a Conditions Report via email with a full work up on what was done on the vehicle. I highly recommend this place and plan to continue taking my vehicle there in the future.
Good communication. Quick work.
Excellent and accurate service. I recommend.
Love these guys. Honest and straight forward. They did an oil change, and actually told me to wait on my brakes. I really appreciated that rather than selling me today, they invested in our relationship and long term work. I’ve been in 3 times so far and will continue. Thanks guys
Best shop Ive ever been too! Due to the Corona I never had any face to face interaction but they were very professional and had a lot of communication with me. Even took pictures of all my issues with descriptions. I will be going back.
They did a fabulous job! Went in for a front end alignment best price I found around great location Speedy service!
Courteous and honest
I was treating thoughtfully kindly and with understanding. Although the analysis of the problems on my vehicle were far more Expensive than I would have thought. They were understanding and helpful. I have used in the past and have had a great experience. I would rather recommend them.
Dykstra is the only place I take my vehicles for service! Always patient to listen to problems & explains possible reasons for issues in an easy to understand way. You will not be disappointed.Took my vehicle in for repairs last week, during Covid-19. They had hands-free drop off. Once problem was diagnosed, they called me. Payment was made over the phone. The car was completely disinfected with spray & wiped down completely when I picked it up. Consistently great service, why go anywhere else? Call them today!
Good, common-sense technicians. These guys wont run up the bill chasing down potential problems that likely dont exist. They try the logical solution first, instead of padding labor costs unnecessarily. Thats refreshing!
Took a look at my car and informed me about price on the same day as walk in. Was fixed next day without any issues. Priced was reasonable for my 05 BMW. Excellent service would I would recommend
I have been bringing my vehicles to Dykstras for more than a decade now. They always treat me right, never trying to sell me services I don’t need. I appreciate the honesty and integrity with which they conduct their business. I never bring my cars anywhere else!
I appreciated the thorough inspection & not selling something I didnt need. Also the pricing was fair.Bruce Cheadle
Always quality work and outstanding customer service
Awesome professional mechanics that go above and beyond. Integrity, honesty and transparency.
Paid 40 some dollars for them to look at my vehicle to tell me that they didnt know what was wrong with it so I ended up taking it to the dealership and they fixed it and applied my warranty
Great service. Best auto repair shop ever. Staff is friendly, communicative and professional. I’ve recommended Dykstra Auto to friends and family.
Helpful, knowledgeable and kind staff. Great place to get your car fixed. Withhold definitely recommend
How do I even start. The service and workers here are so nice! We went in because the belly pan of our car was dragging on the ground and we didnt know what to do. We called ahead of time and Nick answered and was super accommodating about appointment times since we got out of work after their hours. When we got there they quickly took a look at the car and fixed it on the spot. They didnt charge us anything for it. Definitely a place we will return to if we need future car fixes.
Dykstras Auto Service provides the best of service with friendly and helpful staff. They provide a detailed report and consult before fixing anything. Their Fix N Fly program is an added bonus for the Patterson location and provides convenient shuttle service while your car is being fixed while you are on a business trip or vacation.
We had an emergency come up at the airport parking lot and they squeeze us in before the end of the day so I didnt have to make an extra trip back. I cant express how happy I was that that was able to work out saving me time and money.
I have had many family members cars repaired by this location of Dykstras Auto numerous times, and each time has been just as great as the last. The staff is courteous and helpful beyond expectations. Their prices are fair and they really go the extra mile to make sure youre satisfied. The work has been great as well, and they seem to be very thorough.Its also worth noting that many of my co-workers frequently have their vehicles repaired by the same location and have nothing but great things to say as well.
Not one to usually write reviews, but this one takes the cake. Not happy at all with the service I received from Dykstras. I had my car worked on a month ago by them and everything they “fixed” I have since had to have redone. They forgot to do a portion of the repair and had to go back a week later for them to take care of it. It was at that time that they told me when, not if, the check engine light came back on, everything they had done would need to be redone... It is safe to say I will not be bringing any of my future business to them and will tell anyone to avoid them as well. Wish there was an option for negative stars.
Ive been bringing cars to Dykstras for years and have never regretted that decision. Nick and all the staff are beyond helpful and always explain things in a way that make it easy to understand. Recently, after a big repair, they sent me a Starbucks gift card in the mail as a thank you for my business - thats the extra mile they always go. I would recommend Dykstras to anyone!
Very pleasant experience, everyone I spoke to was very knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions I had.Follow-up was also great, very helpful and answered questions about an unrelated problem that I was able to just fix myself.Great service from beginning to end and the best price I found after contacting several places.
Matthew & Nick are amazing....as is the service. Most noteworthy is the honesty of the business. This is an important factor for any customer service oriented business. Furthermore, they establish proper relationships with their clientele. Dykstras care about their customer-base and pricing is quite reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone who desires honesty & trust in a type of business setting that is normally not so.
We have a mature fleet of 4 vehicles. Nick and Matt have been thorough and resourceful in solving even the toughest problems with them. They are very good at explaining what needs to be done and never try to sell us more than what is necessary. We are very happy to have found Dykstras after moving here from the east coast and Nick and Matt are more than a match for the excellent mechanic we had out there. Whoever hired these men knew what they were doing!
Very nice people and willing to do what needs to be done to get you back on the road.Would recommend them to all who need a good repair shop.
Its a great comfort to go to a shop where you are absolutely sure your OLD car will be respected, wont be tampered with, will get top quality oil and parts, and paying whatever they ask for feels just right. Dykstras awesome! I just wish they were open Saturdays. That would drive up the awesomeness 1000rpm!
Great work and professional service, thanks for the pickup at the airport!
I regularly used their Hudsonville location for two years because they were right near my work. I could drop off my car and walk to work, so it was very convenient. They have always been very honest and open. They tell you what the issue is before fixing it. If they are not sure what the issue is, they will not just fix things to figure it out to get your money. If they fix something that does not fix the issue, they will take it back and look more into it right away at no charge. They always make sure to schedule you so you never have to go without a vehicle, either by fixing yours that same day or by getting you a loaner car. They have always been amazing to me and their customer service is incredible.I have since switched jobs so they were no longer used for convenience. When I started having issues with my car one day a few months later, I learned of their other office in Kentwood which is where I am at regularly. I stopped by on the day before new years and they willingly took my car in and got it fixed that same day, even though they were booked out an entire week. For how incredible their services are, they are prices are very good. They will continue to be my go-to place if I have car issues. I highly recommend them.
Unfortunately for the kind people at Dykstras my service experience was not a good one. I had taken the car in for a grinding noise in the front. After assuring me it was the tires and $400 later I got the car back with the exact same noise. So I took it back in. This time they said it must be the front wheel bearings -- so another $600. When I picked the car up and drove it way it was making a different scraping sound (worse than before and easily noticed by my 16 yr old daughter). Sure enough they did not put the heat shields on correctly. What amazed me is that on 2 different occasions they gave the car back claiming it was fixed while clearly not driving it to be sure. I am not a car guy. I need to trust that my mechanic can do the job and is doing what they say they are. In this instance Dykstras did not.
Awesome job. Great service and customer service. Been going to them for years. Reliable and truthful when things need to be doneHIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Great honest service each and every time I come here. Having car problems can be stressful, but the crew here does a great job at diagnosing, explaining the issue, then resolving it. The free loaner cars is a huge bonus!
Awesome service!
Ive been using Dykstras for eight years and have never been disappointed. Their service is fast and reliable. I love the way they explain what needs to be done and why in a way that an average person can understand. They have helped me many times to prioritize repairs so that I can budget and plan. Theyve always tried to provide me with a loaner when possible. A couple of times Ive shopped around to see if the work could be done cheaper elsewhere and Ive always found Dykstras at least few hundred dollars cheaper than the next quote. Highly recommended.
Love you guys always. Won’t take our vehicles anywhere else!
They will definitely be my go to mechanics from now on.
They were so helpful, on time, and overall it was a great experience!
Always a great job done by Brad and the entire Dyktras team. They keep our small fleet of 5 vehicles, and my personal vehicle on the road, and always have a quick turn around. Thanks again!
Was told by a client to take my car to Dykstras and they are awesome! Very Helpful!
Prompt service and sent a very detailed list of everything that was inspected. Highly recommend.
Air conditioning in our van is working after capping off the rear evaporator. Everyone were a pleasure to work with.
These guys are the best. I had called right before they closed to ask if they could help me change my brake light out, as I was having issues taking off the bracket holding my light in place. They told me to bring it in and they took care of me free of charge. Excellent customer service!
Very friendly and extremely helpful. The service is supreme. They inspect and fix only what I ask for or can afford. Great place. Highly recommend!
Weve been going to Dykstras Auto for years and always have a fantastic experience. Friendly, personal service. Knowledgeable and professional staff. Quick turnaround. Clean, pleasant waiting area. We wont take our vehicles anywhere else!
Dykstras auto has been the choice place for our vehicles, friends vehicles, and family vehicles. Every time we have vehicle work done, we always receive a detailed description of the issue, cost to repair, time to repair and parts costs. They also provided us with multiple choices depending on what we want to spend. Never have we had an issue with our repairs that they werent helpful in either making it right or fixing at no cost. We always have good experiences.
I highly recommend Dykstras Auto to ANYONE! Amazing customer service, fantastic rates, and an entire team that works with integrity and honesty. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. If you are looking for a place to bring your vehicle for any type of repair or routine maintenance - choose Dykstras Auto!
They did a pre-purchase inspection for me.
Great visit as always!
Very friendly and they do great work! I was bummed I needed repairs on my car but they were exceptionally open and transparent about the whole process and what was needed as well as extra recommendations. Their service was quick and done with high quality.
Had the AC fixed in vehicle, super fast!
These folks were professional and fixed our car at a price that was very competitive. I will definitely have them do future repairs.
Great place to work and repair your car
Excellent service and courteous personnel. Ill definitely take our vehicles back to Dykstras in the future.
Friendly quick and quality. Had a good first experience. They helped fit me in on a busy schedule.
Very nice clean place...respectful workers and they got me back riding good.
Excellent staff and quick service; all very helpful and honest about repairs and estimates. My family and I will definitely be coming back in the future!
This is place was recommended by a coworker. And didnt a great job also the loaner car was free. Will not hesitate to use them if I need any repairs
HIGHLY recommended! We have worked with Dykstras through the years and have been more than satisfied with both the customer service and the final product they supply as a business. If you are looking for someone who cares more for their customers then the number of invoices they produce in a week, than Dykstras is the place for you. Their service writers and mechanics both work together to make the best decisions to keep your vehicle on the road and functioning smoothly. Check this place out. You will not be disappointed!!
Best customer service of any shop in GR! My wife and I dont know a ton about cars and they took the time to explain stuff to us on our level.
Nick and Matt are always great to work with and incredibly helpful. Always upfront and honest with you, and gets work done on time. Great group of folks.
Great customer service, kept me up to date on my car in a timely manner. Definitely check this place out if you need a car repair.
They completed a very detailed used car inspection for us before we bought it. Great service, price and detail.
Dykstra’s has always provided me with excellent service, information, and recommendations. When one particularly challenging issue required several frustrating visits to the shop, the team and management at Dykstra’s did everything they could to “make it right”.
Gave done with Dykstras for years -- love them. Best service center weve ever worked with.
