2nd time I used these guys, went to another shop near my work and was told I needed 4 new catalytic converters. Had Auto-Lab 5 Mile review my car and I only needed 1, replaced quickly and price was great. Thank-you!

Ive brought our cars here for a oil change / tire rotation at least 7-8 times over the past 3+ years. I always make an appointment upfront and they never disappoint - in the garage within 5 minutes of arriving, and out in 45 minutes or less. As far as I can see, this shops price (for both services) is always the best within a 5 mile radius from my office. I highly recommend using this facility.

Jim and Jeff are fantastic. Service was fast, affordable and most importantly done professionally. I will be bringing any car issues to them without hesitation going forward. A+

I have had many oil changes and tire rotations at Auto-Lab and everyone has been a great. I drop it off and they are very accurate on their time when its completed. Never had a problem and I like their coupons.

Over priced shop. Wanted to chage my lower oil pan gasket on a SUV. its literally about a 30min job taking your time, quoted $250. Oh and I had all my own parts. Crazy. The dealership was 1/2 this price.

I took my car to Autolab to have the front brakes and rotors done. They did an excellent job. Wonderful place and great people. Not enough stars to give in my book when it comes to finding an auto shop you can actually trust to do right by their customers and don’t try to overcharge.

I had improper repair done by a neighbor..almost ruined the rear end of my jeep. Took it into auto lab as a 911 ..they were on it fast . Also kept contact w me regarding damage and repairs. My car was fixed within a couple hours. And the price was very affordable. Auto-Lab is my new go to for my auto. ABSOLUTELY !

I recently brought my 09 Ford Fusion to Auto Lab due to issues with the serpentine belt and insert pulley. I was very happy with the customer service and work done on my vehicle. The employees at Auto Lab were very clear and concise when describing what needed to be fixed on my car. Overall, my car was fixed in 1-day at a fair rate and I was extremely satisfied!

I was referred by AAA to this shop. I hadnt been there before, but if AAA recommended them I thought it should be reputable. It absolutely was. Repairs were finished in a timely manner, at a fair price, and were explained thoroughly. They have earned my trust and my business. I will definitely return.

Review №24

Received this shops coupon, thus, tried call and made a Saturday appointment for brake service prior to stopping by at the shop. However on Saturday, the front desk guy said he did not find any record of the appointment and suggested to make a new appointment and come back later.One week after, came back again for brake service. The work was done just ok...nothing good or bad. But dealing with the front desk guy is the biggest pain and worst customer service ever. He is just a rude and unprofessional guy who should not sit there.Wont come back again and do not recommend this shop.

Review №25

This is the best auto repair shop Ive ever been to. They are very honest and fairly priced. They wont try to sell you something you dont need or slip random charges into your bill just to pad their pocket. Theyve earned my business and my trust! I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

What an amazing job they did. Jim is great! He informed me of everything that I needed done to make my car run like new. I got my vehicle back and I am impressed my baby run like new again. Thank you for all the help and I will highly recommend this shop to any and everyone. :)

I have to admit, I was drawn in for the first time to Auto Lab because it was close and because of the great reviews. I typically do my own repairs, but it was bitter cold that week and could not work in my garage. They did a great job, above and beyond what I expected. I would highly recommend Auto Lab to anyone needing courteous service, professional quality and a fair price.Keep up the great work, Auto Lab.

This place is quick, efficient and affordable. However, one day I came in and had an oil change take 2 hours. The owners comped the oil change! I did not even complain or put up a fight. Auto-lab is wonderful and will continue to have our loyalty! A great business.

Review №31

Auto Lab is our go-to place for oil changes and automotive repairs. My wife and I have been taking our vehicles here for a few years and have never had bad service. The staff is extremely friendly and they are right on time when you set up appointments! My wifes vehicle needed some repairs and the parts needed to be ordered, so it was going to take a couple days to complete. Auto Lab was able to give us a vehicle loaner to use locally, so that we were not restricted to only one vehicle, for a family of 4. I highly recommend Auto Lab to family and friends frequently.

Auto-Lab of Livonia is an excellent place to take your vehicle for any type of service. I take my two cars there for everything and have never had a bad experience. My wife feels very comfortable going there too. The customer service is awesome and there is never a feeling of service being done that is not needed.Thank you Auto-Lab from a lifelong customer.Steve & Tracey S., Livonia, MI

Review №38

Two strikes with this place. There will not be a third. Bait and switch is atrocious. My aunts car needed a spark plug. They charged her almost $2000 for other repairs they said were needed. Ok, I wasnt there so she paid it. They changed starter and fly wheel. Ever since her remote start hasnt worked. Gave them one more chance for brake pads change. They said $50, I said ok. Called me later and said it was going to be $1100. Never doing business with this shop and I recommend you dont either. Especially if youre not car savvy as they certainly will take advantage.

Review №39

First time using them. Starting off, I Phoned them. Was quickly able to schedule a same day appointment. Brought my car in for service check and was able to drive my car away 1 1/2 hours latter, completely repaired. Price for repair was extremely reasonable and they stand behind all their work. Great to have them in the neighborhood.

Review №40

Used them a couple times but...I think they got me good!I went to them with a hanging parking brake but they didnt discover the problem until they convinced me the problem was due to me needing all new brakes and rotors over $1000 and to top it off the brakes they replaced they had installed less than 3000 miles before. TO FIX THE REAL PROBLEM THEY DISABLED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES.(((Are they dishonest or just incompetent)))

Review №41

I not only enjoyed my time spent at Auto-Lab, they were kind enough to loan me a car for $1.00. Who does that today??? The last time I took my car to the dealership, it cost close to $300 for a car! The work done was definitely to my expectations, and now I will never take my car anywhere else.Good Going Auto-Lab Livonia!

I am more than pleased with the service I received. They picked my car up at work, took it back to their shop to replace my tires, and brought the car back to me at work. They even ran it through a car wash! Jim and Bob were friendly and professional and made me feel confident that their recommendations were honest. I will definitely use them in the future and would recommend them to others looking for auto repairs.

Review №45

This place is great! My experience was nothing but pleasant. They not just did the typical telling you what needs repairs, but took me out to the garage and actually showed me the issue with my car. Then found an alternative repair to fix the issue that was more affordable and in my budget. Roger, the mechanic was knowledgeable and fixed up my car and the problem was completely gone! They even dropped me off at work while my car was being repaired so I didnt have to walk. I HIGHLY recommend this place!

Review №50

Absolutely disgusted and dissatisfied with the horrible service out of this place. My battery and alternator for a 2009 Ford Focus needed to be replaced, so I had my vehicle towed to one of their locations because it wouldnt start up, even when jumped. For my battery and alternator to be replaced, I was expecting to get my vehicle back within 1-2 days, and paying somewhere around $750. On the day Im expecting the call to come get my car, I get a call from them now saying theres another issue with the vehicle regarding the Fusebox, and that it needed a new one, so the job was going to take another 2 days before I can get my car back. 2 days later, I get a call from Auto-Lab saying that they dont have the right parts to fix the Fusebox, so Im gonna have to keep my vehicle there all weekend long and wait until Monday (today). Today I got a call saying everything is complete and my vehicle is now ready to pick up, and once I got my vehicle and brought it home, I discovered that virtually half of the features in my car dont power up now, and at one point I took the keys out of the car to turn it off, and the vehicle continued to run and something began to burn. I had to pay over $870 in total for the worst service and jobs ever done. My car was on their property for 12 days for a job that shouldve been done within a couple of days, and now I have to take my vehicle back in somewhere else to get looked at because its almost undriveable. If I can help anyone save some money, time, and trouble, please do not use auto-lab for anything.

I’ll start this off saying Auto Lab is definitely one of my top picks for repair shops. Going to have your car fixed can be a hassle especially if you’re a woman but not here with these guys. The owner Jim is amazing and I couldn’t ask for someone that is more sincere and take pride in their business and his customer satisfaction. Good service was given here from the owner with clear communication I can’t express enough how valuable this is to me. Taniya D.

Jeff and the team at Auto Lab are great. I have had vehicles serviced multiple times and they are always professional and friendly. I am able to get inspections fast with a range of repair options that best fit my schedule and more importantly my budget. As a bonus they are honest and dont try to sell me repairs I dont need.

Review №54

Took it in for a misfire on my cylinder 5 and they wanted me to revert my car stock to even look at it. (Only had a tune which I could put stock and a cold air intake) they wanted to nickel and dime me through testing and diagnosis even though I knew what was wrong. Took it to another shop and got it fixed in 3 days for 241$ and its all fixed now.

I had my brakes repaired at the Livonia Auto Lab. Jim was very professional and imformative. He picked up my car from my job and delivered it back to me before my shift ended. When there was a slight adjustment needed, he handed my over to the tech who promptly handled it. Jim later called me a couple of times to ensure that I was satisfied with their work.I can say that I am very satisfied with the work and the price. I highly recommend taking your vehicle to Auto Lab Livonia. thanks guys!!

Mark and Jeff have always been kind, cordial and helpful. They have always advised me of discounts, safety concerns as they apply to my vehicles. The only reason I did not give them a 5 is that a 5 means they are perfect. Nobody is perfect. No matter how good we are there is always room for improvement

Auto Lab Livonia is Fantastic!! Super Friendly, Knowledgeable Staff. As a Female in her mid-20s with minimal experience in vehicle repair I felt at ease taking my vehicle into Auto Lab. I took my car in in the early afternoon and had my heat fixed, belt repaired, and oil changed well before the shop closed. I would recommend Auto Lab Livonia to anyone and I will be taking my vehicle here for future repairs. :)

After years of looking for a full service mechanic, who would not take advantage or use scare tactics to recommend unnecessary work, I think I finally found one- Livonias AutoLab.Starting with my first oil change on a car I no longer own and now with my new car, the folks here have always done great work.Their multi-point inspections are in-depth and plainly worded.They also provide very detailed and plainly worded estimates on any future work that I may need.I think I found a winner here.

Brought my Honda in for oil change and tire rotation. I felt a shimmy when braking after the work was done. Fortanetly I got home safely to find out that 3 out of 6 lug nuts were only hand tight! Once I tightened them the shimmy was gone. Could have been a freak thing, but enter at your own risk.

I cannot begin to express my deepest thanks to the staff at Auto Lab Livonia!! Their level of customer service and care FAR exceed my expectations and went above and beyond your typical auto repair shop. Despite an incoming snow storm, the staff was willing to stay open late and help diagnose why my car was having trouble starting in this extreme cold weather. They were upfront and honest with me, making me feel comfortable and informed about my decisions. I appreciate this business and their honest, caring, and trusting business ethic. I plan to continue visiting Auto Lab Livonia for my future car needs!! Thank you so much for taking care of me and my car!!

Review №77

I was advised to go here by my mother. I dropped my car off at 8 am for a diagnosis and received notice at 4:30 pm. They said my car had an internal head gasket leak. They then said they were uncomfortable with replacing the head gasket because of the mileage. I informed them I had had the engine replaced before buying the car and the mileage didnt reflect that. They then continued to insist that they were uncomfortable working on the car without replacing the engine. They then quoted me $3600 for the job. I asked when I could pick up my car. I ended up paying them $52 just to look at it. What amazes me is that they are advised on Christian radio and I feel as if they were trying to cheat me. I am a young black woman and I was shocked they would even suggest something so ludicrous as to replace the engine because they didnt like the idea I didnt get my engine from them. They are swindlers and cheats.

I had a flat tire this morning and had Autolab Livonia repaired it. They did the job promptly and courteously. They also checked the rest of the tires and aired them properly. From in to out was 25 minutes. Write a review (no obligation to be a good review) and they give a free oil change.

Review №89

The worst. They overfilled my oil, 6 quarts when it takes 5 max. and drained my coolant telling me I had leaks in both. After a simple oil change my oil leaked due to the fact they overfilled it and then drained the coolant (after I filled the coolant myself have NEVER had a leak). This did not only happen once (I chalked it up to rookies, summer help) I called them to complain. I took it in again (convenient location) in the fall and it happened again! They also clearly wrote 6 quart oil under the hood in marker when the manual regarding my car clearly states 4.5 quarts! Again the coolant was drained. Lost my business and I advise if you are a single woman have a male friend take it in. They will and do take advantage of you.

Both my husband and I go here with our cars. Mine especially is really falling apart - it is a 2000 Buick that I have abused and driven across the country twice. This place has always been honest, upfront. Prices are very fair for the work they do, and they will always try to minimize the cost if possible. They are pretty quick to get things done. If you need a bunch of stuff done and need a loaner car, they have those too. We drive from Novi to here, out of our way, because they are some of the best of Detroit.

So glad I heard about AutoLab Livonia. They go above and beyond for customer service. And take the time to thoroughly examine your car needs and repairs. They were the only auto repair shop that suggested a repair when the wheel guards and mud flaps on my car where damaged. Everyone else fixed them with zip ties. I dont have to cringe when they give me an estimate because I know they are fair and honest!You really need to take your car(s) to Auto Lab if you want honest, friendly, and fair service. Been taking my car there when I worked in Livonia. Even though I no longer work in the area, I still make the drive to AutoLab Livonia. Jeff and Mark are great! Always can expect great service from both the front desk and the guys working on the cars.

I first heard of Auto Lab on WMUZ 103.5fm, while driving. I trust the stations recommendations because of the values they live by and their business relationships. As with other services we tried, Auto Lab has lived up to the compliments advertised on the air. Their credentials are really good, but they also exhibit great customer service.Dan
