I only take my car to Sovel's. I have never had to take it back for the same thing. The prices are fair, they don't treat me like a 'dumb girl', and the staff is great!

Sovel’s Auto service was suggested to me by a friend of a friend. Friendly front desk staff, great turn around customer service response via email. They were able to fix the issue regarding my oil filter and the price was fair. I was please with that. Thank you!

I recently took my car to Shovel's Auto Repair in Novi. The service was quick, and I was back on the road in no time. Not only was the service efficient, but the pricing was also very reasonable compared to what you'd expect at a traditional dealership. The team at Shovel's was professional and friendly, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a quality auto repair without breaking the bank, I highly recommend Shovel's Auto Repair in Novi!

Man these guys treated me right. Went from 95% confidence that my truck was completely done for, and at the last minute, they were able to find the problem, which resulted in a $130 repair to get my truck up and running again. Any mechanic could have told me that it would cost $4000 or more to fix my engine, when they did the honest thing and fixed it for almost nothing due to the simple solution. I can't say you won't pay more, but I will say that you can trust these guys whole heartedly!

They were great. They were able to fix the hear liftgate latch of my Jeep Compass quicker and cheaper (1/10th the cost) of the dealership. Other auto repair could not even find the problem. Sovel was really great.

Sovels is one of the best companies out there! My family was referred by a friend, many years ago, and this is the only trusted place we go to. Their team is very responsive, helpful and walks you through everything over the phone. They always call you with their diagnosis before they begin any work, which is fantastic. I wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else.

My husband took his 2016 Jeep there on Saturday 12/14 to have the auxiliary battery replaced, we knew they were busy so we expected it back in about a week. Monday morning, 12/16, we get a call to come pick up - it's ready! You just don't find service like that in today's world! After a previously terrible experience with a different auto repair shop on Grand River in Farmington, we were thrilled y o have such a great experience at Sovels. They have made a lifetime customer of us for their amazing and prompt service! Thank you Sovels!

My family and I have been bringing our cars here for as long as I can remember. The scariest part of car ownership is finding someone to honestly maintain it for you, and someone you can trust to fix it when something inevitably goes wrong. This place is both. A family owned small business who is trustworthy and reasonably priced, they will always be maintaining my car first.

If you need an auto service garage, this is the place! They're constantly busy because they provide great service, do great work, THEY'RE HONEST, and they don't overcharge! Seriously, I trust these people because I've experienced that I can...with brakes, transmission drain and fill, and anything else! They've been honest, and it's inexpensive compared to any other auto service, especially dealerships.

Called up the shop on the suggestion of my usual place that only works on European cars. I had an urgent issue with my Subaru and was on a short schedule. The customer service I received was top notch. They were not able to get me in, in time, yet tried to help as much as possible. In the end their helpful advice led me to a successful end. They've earned my future business. Honest and helpful; everything you need in a mechanic.

Chose to have my son’s car towed to Sovel’s based on reviews. Dropped it off on a Tuesday, was told they would be able to get to it “early next week”. Received a call on Wednesday afternoon that it was diagnosed (bad alternator) and given out the door price. Gave the green light to perform the repair and received a call at 10am Thursday morning that the vehicle was done and ready to be picked up! Can’t say enough great things about the quick, friendly service and the more than fair price! You’ve earned a new life long customer!

We had a clunking sound coming from under our vehicle. Took it to a national chain who said it “probably” was the struts, but it could be more than that, which they wouldn’t know until the struts were replaced. Decided to get a second opinion and took it to Sovel’s (our first time here). Undeterred, they went to great lengths to assess what was actually going on. Ended up being a simple repair – a loose bracket. They tightened things up and all is great again. I commend Sovel’s for their honesty and persistence in working to get to the true cause of the problem. Saved me wasting a lot of $$$ on repairs that weren’t needed.

I had to drop my car off in an emergency on a Saturday. Battery died while driving it. I called and left a message and then made an appointment online, soonest available was a week away so I planned on driving a rental for at least 2 weeks. But, they looked at my car when they opened Monday morning and had the alternator replaced by 2pm!!! Saved me so much grief and money.

Awesome place and awesome people! I blew out my A/C unit (faulty compressor) in March of 2024 and they were beyond helpful in diagnosing the issue and repairing it. I went back to have the timing belts, water pump and tensioners replaced shortly afterwards and once again, amazing help. I would recommend Sovel's to everyone!

We have gone here for years and are happy with the service and pricing. We trust their recommendations and don't feel like we are taken advantage of. Additionally they will work with you on doing reasonable fixes if you have an older car you don't want to spend a lot on
