I went in for an exhaust concern, loud noise coming from underneath my Ford Edge. Came back with a diagnosis and estimate of almost $800, needless to say I didnt go with the repair went to a local nationwide muffler shop who checked it for free, instead of the $67 diagnosis charge from the Farmington Garage. They confirmed the same issue as the Farmington Garage but did the work for $200 out the door. Do the math, significant savings. The fellas seem to be cool but get a second opinion if you think your estimate is too high, I am glad I did. Times are tough to be overpaying for service nowadays.

Oh my GOODNESS…!!!!!! Being a female business owner in a male-dominated construction world, I know when I am being sold a bill of goods… Not the case whatsoever with Farmington garage! They were amazing from the minute I walked in explained everything in great detail told me to take my time and think about it, Toni literally was amazing and held my hand through the entire process of fixing my work truck that was also my baby! Could not ask for a better experience L was amazing, and Brian, the technician who masterfully brought my truck back to life, I am forever indebted! Fantastic fantastic fantastic experience!

Farmington Garage is busy and busy for a reason. Their techs take pictures of their inspections and then you can see them online and approve what you want. They are not pushy and they are super professional. I dropped some coin on repairs but I know they were done right. Worth the money spent!

I went there because I got a nail in my tire. The business is within walking distance from my home, and although they were very busy, Tony said he would take care of it, no problem, he just needed a few minutes. They plugged my tire, at no charge, within a few minutes. Thank you very much for the wonderful customer service!

I have had them work on my classic cars since they opened this location. Fair prices. They do it right the 1st time. There is never any surprises or add ONS. Professional and they get er done. Brought my car in today, late afternoon. They took care of me on the spot. The best. Highly recommend their services.

I found out about this place through an online tire shop that I purchased new tires from. This auto shop gives amazing service and all the employees are very friendly. They went above and beyond removing my wheel locks from my car even though I lost my key for them. I will for sure be back for future services. Also the lobby is clean, comfy, and have several snacks.

They provide solid service, but arent truly telling you everything. When they do brakes they have made the decision to not turn the rotors. (Resurfacing) They have made the decision as a company to only replace the rotors along with pads. This is fine of of course, but rotors in most cases can last for about three sets of pads. So inflated prices over time when Resurfacing everytime they do the brakes would be much better option. Most dealerships with still turn rotors for a much smaller fee so long as they are still in spec.

Quick and professional service. I will bring my car back there for service when it needs it. there was a small miscommunication with the price, but it was still a fair cost for the repair.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience with Farmington Garage was. I bought my car through CarMax, and this is a partnered garage so I picked them based off all the great reviews. Al was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING: friendly, kind, patient and helpful as I dealt with a bunch of NONSENSE surrounding my CarMax warranty (never use CarMax btw). He diagnosed the problem with my engine, explained it all to me, and kept my car for as long as I needed as I battled with CarMax. He even discouraged me from doing what they were telling me to do (authorize an engine teardown with no guarantee of coverage) so I wouldn’t be stuck with the fee. He went above and beyond trying to help me and I cannot thank him enough!!

Took my car in because it was making an odd rattling noise which I suspected might have been the heat shield. They looked at it right away and it was indeed the heat shield. They tightened it for me and when I asked for the charge, it was complimentary! While I dont expect free repairs the next I go there, I will definitely be going back. Nice, honest shop, not too mention a clean comfortable waiting area!

I tried to get a simple fix for my car (I.e. 2 tires, an oil change, and an annual inspection), and it was going to cost over $800 to do so. The prices were not reasonable. I won’t be returning.

Farmington Garage is an auto gem in downtown Farmington. The manager Al treated me and other customers with extraordinary hospitality. The amount of detail given about my vehicle was amazing plus, I was stuck with a dealership bill. If I could give this garage more stars, I would.If youre having vehicle issues, run over to Farmington Garage and your issues will be rectified.

I have had a lot of work done at FG and have always received quality services. I was most recently impressed when they made quick work of a problem that had many on the auto forums stumped. They charged me much much less than I was anticipating. It is nice to have access to highly skilled mechanics that are right down the street.

Review №26

I have used this shop 3 times now, most recently for an Annual Vehicle Inspection. They were extremely thorough and laid out exactly what was wrong, explaining what needed to be fixed soon, what could wait and what could be ignored which I greatly appreciated considering that my BMW came back with almost $8k in needed repairs/maintenance. They also make sure to provide pictures of any visible issues so I can see the location of the issue and the extent of the damage/wear. Every time I have come in, their team has been professional, quick to finish whatever work I needed done, and extremely helpful. They also have a clean and comfortable waiting room that even has free soda and coffee for all their customers.

I took my 2018 Jeep to Farmington Garage with the engine light on, I was charged $309 just for diagnostics! Upon further research I discovered the fair price for this service is $100 - $125 !Update: The shop responded appropriately to my concerns, demonstrating they valued my input and refunded me the overcharge.

My 2015 Honda Civic coupe runs better than when I drove it off the lot 2 years ago. They even showed me the parts and explained why the brakes and rotors on all four tires had to be done. Amazing staff that goes above and beyond to deliver, and they give the facts to you straight. Added bonus that they wash your car and wipe down the interior! Awesome service. 👍🏻

I went it to get pricing for brakes that I was told needed replacing by the dealer. I was called within an hour and told the brakes were fine. There was a $60 inspection fee that they then waived and called it a second opinion.I went in after reading their positive reviews and am more than happy to add one myselfI’ve never been in a cleaner auto service center with immediate professional assistance upon walking in the centerIf you need to stay for service it is in the middle of downtown Farmington with plenty of restaurants and shops to keep you busyI will be back for all of our auto needsThank you for your honesty and not taking advantage of what I thought was needed when I walked in.

Ive been to many garages in the area, but the Farmington Garage is definitely the best place to go! The mechanics are constantly working on newer cars all the way to cars from the Baby Boomer era. An auto mechanic shop that someone can trust a 30+ year old classic car to be worked on is a shop worth going to!I highly recommend them as they keep you informed about your vehicles status and are professional every step of the way. Thanks to Tony for helping me out!

These guys are solid, reliable, and up front with everything. Yes they charge for diagnostic, but other shops Ive been to have just hidden those charges in the repair prices. As a single mom on a budget, having confidence that the repairs were done right the first time and came with a good warranty was important to me. These guys delivered that. BONUS-washed my car and vacuumed up the mess from my lil guy in the back! Thank you Tony and Al for the great service and actually caring about me! Ill be back when I need you guys again.

I decided to do some elective maintenance on my Ford Escape in preparation for two big upcoming trips. I wanted ease of mind to make sure everything was in good shape and ready to go! I believe the pricing was fair to do an all around 360 check. I was given a loaner car which I totally didn’t expect and was nice since I didn’t want to sit in the waiting room for hours when I live down the street! I worked with Al the majority of the time and he was very nice and professional! When I was waiting for my diagnosis, I was sent a text message with my results and either had to decline or approve services/parts...which I thought was very modern and cool! When I was called to pickup my Escape they noticed one more thing and took care of that and explained (and waived!!) an alignment fee! I will definitely be back and it really helps that they are down the street! Side note: when I was waiting in the waiting room with my son, he was happy there were snacks!! Haha and I was happy it’s clean, modern and not smoky or trashy like most car places. Thank you Farmington Garage!!

Review №74

I want to give a fair and accurate account of my expexrience with The Farmington Garage, which I will from here on simply refer to as TFG. I challenge TPG to contradict the following description of my experience.I initially took my 2012 BMW 535i to FMG just to have the battery changed. I then decided to have some additional maintenance done on the car which was simply to have the diagnosed for any issue and get is 100K mile maintenance completed. After spending almost $1,500 on the car for this service, which primarily consisted of changing spark plugs and filters, I received the car back and immediately got a “DriveTrain” error at a low speed. I had to return the car to FMG the next day and, upon further evaluation by TFG, I was told that an error code that came up during the initial diagnosis that TPG had not evaluated. I was told that had that the issue was related to a hose that connected to the engine and would cost me an additional $180 to repair. After getting the car back for the 3rd time and still having the same issue, I had return vehicle FMG. I was then told that a new error code pointed to a failed turbo booster and that the cost to repair it was ~$6,000 and would cost $8,000 if BMW performed the repair.My experience with FMG is extremely troubling because prior to taking my vehicle to FMG, I had no problems other than the battery failing after over 3 years. In fact, I had recently drove my vehicle to and from Texas, over 2000 miles, and had no issues even after pushing the vehicle pretty hard during both trips. Additionally, after returning from Texas, I drove the car at least 200 miles a week in Michigan had no issues. I am a pretty aggressive driver so if this problem existing prior to me taking the car to TFG, I would have noticed it and informed TPG of the problem.The entire experience with TFG has been a nightmare. I cannot begin to relay how much anxiety I have experienced. The service I asked TFG to perform was relatively simple and to walk away with a much more serious problem is very troubling. Therefore, I would NOT recommend anyone take a foreign vehicle to TFG and, in my opinion, TFG should stick with American made cars. I do realize that this is a very harsh assessment of TFG, but I assure everyone who reads this review that it is very accurate and deserving.

Went to the Farmington garage for the first time quite by accident. (Had a flat tire just outside their shop.) I was warmly welcomed and felt immediately at ease. Al and the rest of the crew went well and above the call of duty dealing with my insurance company making numerous phone calls so I would not have an unexpected out of pocket expense as the tire was under warrenty. Rarely have I ever experienced this level of customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend their services. Five star service without a doubt!

Brought my 2012 Buick Enclave with 105,000 miles into Farmington Garage for the first time. Worked with Tony. Shared with him I thought I had issues with brakes and power steering. Sold me on Approximately $100 to inspect the entire car And let me know if there would be any other issues I should be prepared for down the road. Would up replacing front brake pads and rotors and power steering pump in the timing and at the cost he had estimated. He provided me with a summary of other items which I will likely do myself like air filter and plugs. It was Totally unexpected and nice that they washed the car and put armor all on the tires Think they also vacuumed the floor in the front. Received a follow up call from Bethany to insure everything was good. I’d bring my car back next time it needs repair.

I do NOT recommend. I’ve seen a review saying that it looks more like a fancy salon inside than an auto shop and that’s exactly what I thought when I first stepped in. This place tried to tell me that I needed a completely new engine and tires when my car has 40,000 miles on it. They wanted to charge me $6700 on a new engine. I took it somewhere else and the fix was under $1000. Just wow. Be very careful!

Review №95

I had a recent experience going to check what caused severe brake pulsation in my 328ix Drive with Farmington garage. First, team over there is good.Issue was that my rotors had to be replaced. It was shocking as I had replaced a new set of premium rotors (which Budget brakes claimed !) 30000 miles back / 2.5 yrs back (Warranty is 24000 miles). Farmington garage claimed that it was done by Budget brakes which is acquired by the former company (thats my understanding). I am not an aggressive driver by any means and primary reason was quality of rotorsI was just out of the warranty period by couple of months. There was certainly false word of mouth from Budget brakes with safety critical component . My point is that Livonia garage should own some sort of responsibility on safety critical components. From my view, this could have been discounted price on new set of rotors. Unfortunately I had only 5% discount which was letting me down. From my view, I clearly see the customer safety ethics are not considered !

This is an excellent mechanic. The prices are very reasonable. My car requires full synthetic oil, and they’re cheaper than most places. The work quality is excellent too.

They’re honest, trustworthy, and genuinely care about quality customer service. I highly recommend them.
