Quick and friendly service. Only complaint is that their method of repair seems to always cascade into finding some new thing to fix. Budgeted out a certain amount for repairs based on previous conversations and in the course of doing that repair more issues were found which ended up blowing my budget out of the water.

By having a Saab a foreign vehicle makes it hard to trust or even find good quality service. This was my second time using Mechanic one I’ve always gotten excellent service both with the Mechanic and the service desk

Excellent communication and service. Repairs needed clearly explained with photos and repairs completed at a reasonable price. They even picked up my vehicle, preformed the repair and returned it to my driveway! Great experience.

Great team here. Every time we have come we have felt taken care of. I have never gotten the vibe that they are looking to take advantage or sell me something I do not need, and they offer fair prices. Really a great shop. I’ll be back.

I went in for an oil change at Mechanic One and I was very happy with the service they provided. It was easy and fast. Great customer service. Thank you Mechanic One. You’ve earned yourself a new customer.

If you are looking for a great mechanic. This is the place to go! They are very professional as well as knowledgeable. Everything they said would happen step by step did. You can’t go wrong if your vehicle is broken.

Originally I provided a review that was 5* after a positive experience with Mechanic One. I am editing that review after the post-script. Mechanic One replaced a few parts in the vehicle including my transmission. They gave me the wrong model transmission... It failed within 1,000 miles and I had to get it re-replaced after my engine started overheating on I-96 at 7am. Mechanic One charged 33% more their competitor who had to fix their mistake. I will not be using Mechanic One in the future as they will cost you much more in the long run.

Great work from Mechanic One! Ty was very informative. They got all of the work I needed done within 2 days. Now I can ship my son's car to school knowing that it is in good working condition.

Professional. Been going there for several years and always friendly. Able to drop off and pick up with shuttle service which also helped a lot. Clear pics and explanation about my issue and what needed to be done. Would recommend.

Based on other reviews, I took my 2010 Mercedes to Mechanic One to diagnose a problem. They always have one bay available to diagnose cars which I think is great. No appointment needed. In about 30 minutes I had a detailed quote with pictures of what was causing the issue. This was better than any other explanation I’ve ever had, even at a Mercedes dealership. I scheduled the service for another day and the work was completed promptly and priced fairly. Andrew had already earned a five star review from me just for the customer service and detail!ed diagnosis of the issue with my vehicle. The work was done in a timely fashion and I’m extremely pleased.

I had an excellent experience with the Mechanic Auto Repair team! They were fast, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process. Another shop had told me my thermostat was bad, but instead of just going off that, the team here did a full diagnostic check. They quickly identified that the real issue was low fluids — no unnecessary repairs, no upselling, just honest and thorough work. Their prices were very reasonable, and everyone I interacted with was incredibly helpful. The front desk staff were truly amazing — friendly, professional, and willing to answer all of my questions. After this visit, I can confidently say I’ve found my new shop when things go wrong. Highly recommend!

I’m a senior woman who needs to trust the car repair people I use, I had my first issue with an engine light, Mechanic One fixed that at no cost because it was easily found and an easy fix. My next visit was for maintenance as my epace Jag is now 6 years old and over 50k miles no longer under warranty with the dealer, during the maintenance inspection Mechanic One found a leak of oil which had oil stain all over the undercarriage, they had to clean it to find where the leak was coming from. That repair was essential and I was happy it was found and taken care of, they did that plus many maintenance items on the list. My goal is to keep my Jag in good repair to avoid having to buy another car in the near future. Cars are so expensive now. I feel confident with Mechanic One, each area had a picture taken showing what and why it needed to be done. I appreciated that so much. I found the front desk easy to explain my issues to and good understanding for what I needed. The mechanics I spoke with were knowledgeable and explained what would happen well. I give them 5 stars. Thank You Mechanic One.

This was my second time visiting Mechanic One for an oil change. Both times I was impressed by the professionalism displayed by the workers. Their lobby was comfortable, with free coffee and snacks - nice touch! They were very transparent about everything, showing me pictures and videos of my car as they made their recommendations…no heavy sell! I accepted one additional service (which I know I needed) and passed on another (they said was not required, but recommended.) I was in and out in 30 minutes. I highly recommend and willl use them again!!

I had a great experience with my mechanic. The service was done on time, and I really appreciated the honesty in explaining what needed to be fixed without trying to upsell anything unnecessary. The price was fair, and the quality of the work was excellent. I’m grateful to finally have a mechanic I can trust. Highly recommend!

Mechanic one was great, friendly staff. I came in on a Thursday to get a free inspection, which was very thorough and showed me pictures. They were able to give me a good deal and fixed my front brakes the next day.

I have had 2 oil changes in the 3 months, one on my vehicle and one on my daughter's in law vehicle. Both were done quickly and professionally. I plan on coming back. Service was very efficient and friendly.

I am relatively new to the Metro Detroit area, and finding a non-dealer shop to service and maintain my Subaru Outback was important to me. I used a car maintenance and service website tailored exclusively for Subaru's, and Mechanic One was the highest rated shop. I had a short list of known maintenance and repairs to be done, so I called in advance in the morning. I was surprised they accepted walk-ins. I told them I'd be stopping by after noon. Fortunately half the work could be completed, but parts weren't available to complete all the work on the same day. On the first day, all four breaks and rotors were replaced, and the cooling system was pressure tested - no leaks! On the second day, front stabilizer bars were installed and the car alignment was done and verified. The cooling system was completely flushed, and refilled. Master Mechanic, Andrew worked on my car both times. He had me come into the service bay to explain and show me what work needed to be completed. Andrew showed me some damage to one stabilizer bar joint, and explained that the broken joint sleeve that contains grease would leak all the lubricant out. I opted to replace both front stabilizer bars. I really appreciate how Mechanic One treats me like an adult with their communication. I explained what I thought my car needed. Andrew listened, and then assessed my car. Tay presented me with an itemized list, with projected pricing. I then discussed my options with Andrew and Tay, and created a prioritized list for the two days. All work is complete, and I've had a few days of worry free performance. Unless something unexpectedly goes sideways, I think I've found my new, non-dealer Subaru repair and maintenance team. And there's a new short list of manufacturer recommended scheduled maintenance. My schedule allowed me to sit and wait for all repairs and maintenance to be completed. The waiting area is fine, with complementary variety of chips, granola bars, fruit jelly candy packs, and decent coffee flavors and blends. I would gladly recommend Mechanic One to friends and family!

The staff were very friendly and gave me rides back and forth out of their range. I have been struggling financially re: taking care of my Mom with Alzheimers and some health issues. I shared these hardships with Mechanic One. They said they were giving me lots of discounts on my exhaust. My mechanic put it up on the lift after i got the car back. He showed me what they did, and told me they did not really give me any discounts. I am used to my current and past mechanic calling me with one estimate. I got several calls in one day with estimate after estimate of new findings. My car is a 2011 RAV 4. It has over 190, 000 miles on it. It's driven cross country twice. I've had the rear diff and rear axle seals worked on several times until my current mechanic said...it really can't be fixed. Just keep topping off the fluid. Mechanic One told me it was leaking severely and needed to be addressed. I told them that was old hat. The day I got the multiple calls for" new findings" I was on and off the phone with Adult Protective Services, doctors office, advocate re: my Mom. I had to remove her from an AL from Bloomfield MI. It was a very stressful time. Each phone call I got from Mechanic One added more stress to my plate. I finally said: " Please just do the job I brought the car in for ,the exhaust, and I'll take my car back to my regular mechanic who I trust. I'm leary of returning to Mechanic One. A lot of young mechanics are taught to bring the price up and then offer all the " discounts " so it feels like they are helping me out. I will say they were very nice and polite. I just don't trust them other than that. I'm staying with my shop. Unfortunately for me my car's exhaust fell off close to Canton, and my mechanic did not have an exhaust technician at that time.

Where do I begin. These guys are fantastic!!! I trusted Mechanic One based on reviews, so it wouldn't be right if I didn't leave one. I drive from Grosse Pointe Park to Canton for their services, if you know, you know!!! I have a Mercedes and have been looking for a place other than the dealership. The dealership wanted to charge me $250 to diagnose EACH issue I had. What happen to the day $250 would cover a test of the entire car. Well Mechanic One will not charge you to find out what is wrong with your car!!! This was such a relief! They dealt with my warranty company directly on my behalf. They did not take "no" as an answer the first time around for at least one of the repairs. Some repairs just weren't covered. The technicians that worked on my car each time I had to take it to them has done a great job as well. I had control arm bushings fixed, tie rods, struts, oil change, brake fluid flush and a new heat blower. I haven't had any issues with the work that has been done. So far so good. I dealt with Joseph, Andrew and Ty. All three gentlemen were very professional. They will take you to the back, to show you what they have found. If you are not there, they will send you photo's keeping you informed the entire time. I think I have found my forever, Mechanic's!! Don't hesitate to give them a call if you are having issues. They specialize in foreign cars. They are reasonably priced! Much cheaper than the dealership! Look no further. Do yourself a favor and take your car to them!!! NOW ;)
