Great product knowledge and capability to diagnose and repair in reasonable amount of time and cost. Very trustworthy with long history of service in the region. Porsche enthusiasts will always recommend Automotive Techniques for your service needs. Schedule your maintenance early, especial for Spring/Summer work.

There's a lot of mechanics who are just parts replacers. I've had my fair share of bad experiences with mechanics who will just throw parts at the car charging you parts and labour till the problem is fixed. This wasn't the case with Automotive Techniques. They were able to accurately diagnose my car and accommodate me into their schedule. They communicated well and quickly. I'm usually weary of trusting mechanics due to past experiences, but I will definitely be using Autmotive Techniques again. Seems they are usually busy though so maybe adding to the roster of skilled technicians would give more people the opportunity to benefit from them :)

Automotive Techniques is a real hometown garage! Jeff and his staff are honest and fair. They are also big car enthusiasts so every time I go there Jeff shows me some interesting vehicle. I’ve been using Automotive Techniques for years and have no problem recommending my friends and family do the same. Well worth a visit!

Automotive Techniques has done extensive work on my BMW 650i Gran Coupe, and my Jeep Wrangler. From cosmetic accessories, to maintenance and installing aftermarket performance parts. Let me just say that Dave(manager), Jeff(owner), and the rest of their crew have always gone above and beyond to make every job successful and Tom make me happy. I highly recommend them to anyone in the area who wants a professional job done right, and timely. 5 stars! Check them out!!

I called about bringing in a used car for an inspection and was able to get in immediately. The team spent about an hour with the car and were able to identify a few small issues (even though it was “inspected” by the dealership) which I was able to use for negotiating a good price. Overall I was assured it was a good car despite the few minor flaws. So far so good! Thanks David!

I have been going to Automotive Techniques for years. Extremely honest and capable. The best repair and maintenance service for European cars in Michigan. And they are extremely honest. Whatever they recommend, you can be sure you are getting great advice and great service. Jeff, Dave and their team are the best.

I have been taking my cars here for years. The service techs are the best in the business and the owner Jeff is hands down the nicest guy in the industry. Dave the service writer is as helpful as they come. I can’t say enough nice things about them. Highly recommended!

Real car guys indeed. Jeff is fantastic. They have been my Porsche mechanics for many years now and I have never been let down. From simple annual inspections and oil changes to pulling the engine and transmission, replacing my clutch and much more! I wouldn't trust my 30 year old 911 to anyone else.

Great place as an alternative to the dealer, very honest pricing and good quality work. Dave is always very helpful and his estimates are very good. Definitely my go to place for my Audis. They do wheel balancing at better tolerance than the tire stores and also have a nice alignment machine. If you actually care about the details of your car's servicing, this is the place to come to.

My wife took her car here on a recommendation. When we dropped the car off we were greeted by a friendly smile by one of the technicians, Dave. He was honest and very detailed with the information he gave us before we dropped the car off for service.. He gave us some great nuggets of information on our vehicle that proved to be not only helpful but true money savers. They were able to take care of our car quickly, which was an oil change and the issue we had with acceleration problems. This is an auto repair place that you definitely want to add to your personal list of places to visit for your car. We are completely pleased with the service we received

I have a 1977 Porsche. Scoured through many recommendations and shops finally choosing to try this one. Best decision I could have made. All you have todo is drop the car off, let them know what is needed ,have some patience and they will take it from there. Prices are fair, work is solid, communication is good. This is my shop from now on.

The best place to take your Porsche (I had a 2013 Porsche Diesel)... really the best local shop you can trust! The team is honest, easy to work with, you'll feel comfortable asking questions, transparent pricing, quick service.

It's my opinion that this shop is not trustworthy. I brought my car here on recommendation from a close friend. I needed annual service, spark plugs, and a serpentine belt. It took several weeks just to get an appointment and they took almost a month to complete these simple repairs. When I picked up the vehicle I didn't make it 2 miles from the shop and the car overheated. Turns out the serpentine belt was not installed correctly and the car overheated. Almost 4 months later I received an email from Dave the manager stating my car was ready and that he had forgotten about it. The icing on the cake is they billed me $400 to fix their mistake. Check their reviews on other sites it appears that have a track record of incompetence and poor service.

David the manager took care of my vehicle and SAVED ME A TON! A turbo hose that the BMW dealership wanted to charge me outrageously for, David had replaced for a FRACTION of the cost and QUICKLY! He was very honest and communicated through the whole process. The invoice was even less then the estimate, because the part cost less then expected, you just don't find integrity like that now a days! You do NOT have to accept the dealerships inflated costs in order to receive EXCELLENT customer service and good, even BETTER auto repair service on your vehicle, from people who know European Vehicles! They have earned my business and I highly recommend Automotive Techniques. THANK-YOU again David & staff for all your help!

Call them made an appointment. Brought The Porsche in for service. Had a radiator leak. They recommended other services. Had a check engine light on. Told them to repair whatever the engine light was and all the extras that they say needed repair. Received the car back totally fixed with all the other added extras. Remind you the radiator cost was more expensive than the dealer. Check engine light was still on. the interior Of the car had oil all over the carpet or grease. The seats had some sticky residue on them on the driver side. Tried to clean it. I called them and they said bring it back in. After spending nearly $3000 i’m not sure what all the extra was. Car was dirty and engine light was still on. Call them to make another appointment to bring it back and they said it would be a couple of weeks. I took the car in and had the carpet cleaned and the seats. $420 cost. Ended up taking the car to another Mechanic shop and fix the car correctly. No more engine light on. Will never go back to this place again.

I want to extend my highest praise to Jeff and staff. My 1976 Porsche had an issue that was identified in Illinois. I routinely took my 1976 Porsche to Automotive Techniques, but now I live in Illinois. We were delighted with the service we received. They stand behind their work and handled the situation professionally and courtously. My car is running beautifully. Jeff has an appreciation for classic and vintage autos.

Had them do a stage 2 on my 2015 911 turbo. Exhaust, intercoolers, cpu upgrade and intake. Did a perfect job at a great price!! They also did shocks and breaks on my Autobiography Range Rover for half the price of the dealership. Dave was great to work with!!
