Plugged my tire Tuesday, great service and friendy employees.
Very honest about what is necessary for repair. The work they perform is always high quality.
It was a smooth experience would recommend If you have time to spare.
I took my vehicle in today to have a coolant leak looked at (dripping antifreeze). I dropped it off at 1130 and by 230 Sam called me to pick it up. It ended up being a very simple fix - they tightened a hose and topped off my coolant. Sam did not charge me one cent for this. He could have easily charged me a partial hour for labor (pressure check the radiator and adjusting the hose) and to top off the coolant - which I would have been very happy to pay for. Sam runs a very honest shop and is not out to nickle and dime his customers to death. Will recommend this shop and will definitely return for any other maintenance needs I have.
Sam and his team do awesome work! They have helped me out of several tough situations with my car. Turnaround time is always speedy and their fees have been excellent. Will be taking my vehicles to them for all future repairs!
I am new to the Eastside. Looking for a family garage to fix my vehicle. Read allot of reviews and decided to give them a shot. Sam and his team are very professional and friendly. I had front end done a few months ago and no problems. Sam explained what was wrong and showed me everything that was replaced. Its nice to have confidence in your mechanics. Great people awesome job.
Its service slow as hell they had my car for about 6 weeks
Took my Focus ST here to have my winter tires put on and have them replace all four rotors and pads. Was able to bring my own parts which is awesome, and got a great price. Install was fast and professional and the new breaks feel great. Ill definitely be coming back for any work that I may need done in the future. Thanks for being awesome, you guys are great!
Absolutely thrilled with the service and professional interactions here. We moved my daughter to Detroit and needed an oil change. Selected Mack based on review here. They recommended additional work (needed on a 20-year old vehicle) and their price was very fair. They avoided doing another item that we authorized but said wasnt needed.Its good to run across an auto shop like this when a dad like me has a daughter 800 miles away. Thank you for the outstanding and honest service!
Great people, really helpful with our vehicle service.
This is a great repair shop! Sam and the guys (Mike and Daryl?) perform excellent work. Very honest. I have gone there for at least 6 years and recommended them to my friends.
Wonderful! Sam and his staff are knowledgeable, friendly and pleasure to deal with. Every time I’ve brought in my car, I know that repairs will be done correctly and in a timely fashion. Professionals that make it a goal to keep their customers happy. I trust them with my vehicle and their knowledge. I will not take my car anywhere else!
Sam is the best! Our van broke down on a Saturday afternoon and Sam was able to get us in right away, diagnose the issue, and fix it quickly. He is honest and fair and will do quality work.
The owner is a very decent man and pleasant to deal with!
I wont bring my car anywhere else. I live in Sterling Heights and coming to Sam and his crew is worth the drive for me. Hes honest, gives a great price, and has a fast turnaround. My car needed all four struts and he told me to have just the front done and eventually come back to have the rear ones. When I did a few weeks ago, Mike noticed I needed to replace my front passenger tire, and Matt discovered after I had left the front driver tire needed to be replaced, as well. When I came back the next day, thinking I could go somewhere close to replace them, Sam said I may need to come back on Monday because that would be when the tires would come because he needed to order them. He managed to get them that same day (ready in less than 30 minutes!) so Mike immediately took my car to Mack 2 (on Mack and Fisher) and Matt replaced my tires. I had my car back in the lot in less than an hour and Sam gave me a great, fair price. What I especially love about coming here is his lot is always full, everyone is always busy, but they always take the time to listen to your concerns, answer any questions you may have, take a look at the problem on the spot, and Sam never hesitates to make the time to do the necessary repairs. I always call him or Matt ahead of time so they know I need to come in, or I just stop by real quick if Im in the area, but regardless of how much work they have to do, it is never too much to where they cant get you in and back on the road. Sam was also a Godsend when it came to my last car when I needed a/c work and urgently needed to replace my starter, giving great prices that no other shop would had given me. I always went to Matt because he does amazing, honest work, but I couldnt had possibly done it without Sam. I recommend him and his mechanics to just about everybody. Everybody at both shops are so friendly, respectful, and personable that you cant help but feel at ease while there.
I had read all the excellent reviews before taking my car to Mack Auto Center and they certainly didn’t disappoint; they are professional, honest and reasonable. The service was shockingly timely and the charges were even a little lower than the low end of my online research for the service I needed. I will be taking my vehicle there for any and all future repair needs.
My husband and I just found this shop and we will never go anywhere else. Sam is honest and does great work. I highly recommend coming here
Had an air suspension problem which was promptly and accurately diagnosed, and repair options provided with their pros and cons. Through check done for other potential problems, which were also accurately diagnosed and corrected. All repair costs were very competitive. Sam and Derrick were both very easy, honest and forthcoming to work with. Would highly recommend to anyone with auto problems.
Very happy with service and timing. Had a serious issue and Sam was honest about problem and even showed me a video of it. Highly recommend.
Mack auto center is the best hands down!! Great pricing and very helpful and knowledgeable staff!! I took my truck in for brakes and Sam made sure I was done in less then 4 hours. I needed my truck the next day and Sam was more then happy to accommodate me. He waited for me to pick it up past his closing hours!! Awesome place, I highly highly recommend Mack Auto Center for all your auto needs!
Very nice. I brought my car in for the brakes and power steering. They quoted me for the brake repair and the power steering. I decided to have the brakes done and to wait on the power steering. I brought the car in a little before noon I believe, and got a call that afternoon because the car was ready. The cost was lower than I expected, and the car drives great! I will definitely be going back for the power steering.
The owner really believes in going above and beyond to do right by his customers. Exhibits a level of service that is difficult to find in businesses today. I needed to get two cars repaired and he helped coordinate trading out the cars while waiting on parts so my wife and I had minimal time with only one car. Easily cut a week off of our overall service time. Will not be going anywhere else as long as I live here!
Had to have more work done, but they did a good job and it cost less than the estimated price (bonus)!Great auto shop. Very honest with fair prices. They go the extra mile to make the customers happy. I would recommend them to anyone.Sam is great!
Been here before, and the guys were fair, honest and did great work. Had a new job. Came right out and said someone else could probably do it cheaper and faster. Hows that for an honest auto repair mechanic!
My Car drives like new thanks to Mack Auto Center
Have taken my trucks and tires to this shop for years and have always had an excellent experience. Knowledgeable and helpful staff, extremely fair prices, and excellent work make this my go to place for anything auto. Thanks guys!
I would give Mack Auto Center, and Sam and Dereck a hundred stars if I could!!!! Today my car did not turn on (and I had my young child inside, sick). Sam came immediately, turned it on. Drove to his Center and in 5 min I was ready to go.. He also offered cookies, candies, water, lemonade to my son to help him feel better. This is not the first time I’ve been there, but every time I need my car to be fixed I have no dubs this is the best place in my area. Sam always comes with affordable prices, Dereck does an excellent job, and I know my car is in good hands.
I Called Sam Yesterday about an issue I had with my car. I was calling around to find a better price then the dealership. Not only did he beat their price, he got my car in the very next morning at 8am ( the dealership couldnt get me in for 2 weeks) & out very quickly.I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for friendly help, reliable and fast service and solid pricing.Thank you again Sam for the quality service
It is hard to find an honest and fair mechanic but look no further than Sam and his staff at Mack Auto Center! This is my second time patronizing this company and once again I’m satisfied with the results. I love that he gives you a full inspection but isn’t pushy about getting the work done. If you want the job done properly and quickly, Mack Auto Center is number one in my book.
I have had nothing but positive experiences at Mack Auto Center! Sam and his team go above and beyond to make sure that your car is running well and provide honest, excellent service. You can tell they really care about their work and their customers and want to make sure your car is as safe as possible! They always squeeze me in to get my car checked at the last minute and are very fair with pricing! Sam has even taken me home when I had to unexpectedly leave my car in the shop and didn’t have a ride and he has also taught me about my car so if I move out of the area, I will be able to make informed decisions regarding auto work in the future! I highly recommend this shop!
So glad to have found an auto shop I could trust in my neighbourhood! They did a great job with my car, very honest people. They picked me up from my home so I wouldnt have to call a cab to pick up my car! Very happy with their service!
Ive used Mack Auto Center for several years. The service was great. Sam is very professional. Hell assess your vehicles issues and give you a very fair repair estimate. Hell recommend what must get fixed and what can wait. His repair costs were always very fair and reasonable. He works with you to make sure all part warranties are taken into account. I never felt that I overpaid. I had two vehicles that had 130k and 168k miles. I definitely recommend Mack Auto Center.
A few weeks back when my SUV battery had died due to extreme cold weather, Sam sent one of his assistants to jump start my vehicle in my driveway. I took the vehicle into their shop and the battery was replaced promptly the next day (had to be ordered). Sams assistant drove me back home and picked me up the next day to get my vehicle. Top notch service. I recommend their service to anyone.
Excellent work. Repaired my seat belt, wire harness and control module in my car. Many parts had to be removed to access the broken parts. The owners always try to meet my goal and price. The Mack Auto Center team are amazing. Thank you for taking care of the vehicle issues.
Sam and crew are great! So glad to have such a trustworthy place to bring my old car. Repairs are always affordable and done right the first time. Highly recommend!
Excellent work. Repaired my air conditioner in my car. Many panels had to be removed to access the part that was broken. These guys did it all. And they repaired one of the vents that was punched in and cleaned out the inside so the air was clean again.
The guys do a great job. They went above and beyond to help me in fixing my car. They saved me time and money. I recommend them to everyone who asks about a place to fix their car. The work they did on my daughters car was so wonderful. They are truly honest and go out of their way to save you money.
These guys are awesome! I dont know what I would do without them! Trustworthy and fair prices!
Ive been taking my car to Sam for years (even before this Auto Center was open). He and his staff always provide great customer service, great explanations of what needs to be done and transparent fair pricing. He also has an oil change shop on the east side of Mack (close to Fisher) and a now a new full auto repair shop across the street on the west side of Mack (formerly Mike on Mack). Highly recommend!
We moved to the area last year and needed to find a mechanic. We found Sam and couldnt be happier! He is fair, trust worthy, and knowledgeable. He takes the time to educate his customers on the issue the car is having, what he will do and why. Our car is running smoothly thanks to mack auto center!
I was last there on Monday, July 16, 2018. My service with them has always been top notch. The prices are very reasonable; and wait time is not long at all. They are trustworthy, reliable and dependable.
So glad to have found an auto shop I could trust in my neighbourhood! They did a great job with my car, very honest people. I had several problems with my heating and air system and they worked with me to get it fixed and did a great job. Very happy with their service!
On Thanksgiving holiday from Chicago in our Chrysler Town and Country. Check Engine light came on Thursday night. The local Chrysler dealer wouldnt look at it until Monday. Tried the Mack Auto Center and had it diagnosed and repaired for a reasonable price in all of two hours Friday. Sam at Mack explained everything and we are on the road again! Thank you Sam and crew!
Sam is the man! I’ve brought my both my cars here multiple times and they always give me a good price and great service. I will continue to keep coming here for all my repairs.
Sam and his guys are amazing and honest! They are also Super helpful and they get the job done the right way in a fast manner! The owner cares about his customers and want to make sure you are satisfied!
I went to several different mechanics before choosing Mack Auto Center. Sam is an honest man and he did an excellent job repairing my Lincoln. His prices are competitive and he is forthright with everything start to finish. Would definitely recommend this shop.
Quality service that is done at a reasonable price. I have two vehicles with over 200,000 miles and Mack Auto Center does a great job keeping them on the road. Sam, the owner, is honest and does a good job of explaining the details of what is required for each repair. Located on Mack, just North of Vernier. They are also open until 6 pm on Saturday!
The owner Sam is one of the most honest people you will meet and all the people that work there are very friendly! Every time I bring my car into him it’s fixed very fast and most times he goes above and beyond at his own expense! they are best price on repairs I have found! We won’t take any of our cars anywhere else!
I came to Mack Auto Center after a very scary estimate at another shop. Sam immediately made me feel comfortable and explained how he could help. He prioritized the safety hazards and provided me with a price that I could work with as a student. I knew he was providing me with reliable parts at a lower cost than any of the other shops in the area. My vehicle was in significantly better shape within two business days. We went through the parts that had been in my vehicle and he explained what was wrong with each one. Furthermore, the price we discussed was the exact price that I paid, not a cent more. All of his shops-including Matthew at the Mack Lube Center-are helpful and extremely trustworthy.
Everything has been great. They are knowledgeable and honest. The prices are fair and best of all the work is done well and on time. I think one of the parts they just replaced on my car, might be failing already, but I am confident when I talk to Sam, he will make it right. What are you going to do, after market parts do not always work even if you get the best. I will update my review if anything changes, but so far I have been extremely pleased (outside of the fact it sucks paying to get your car fixed) with the 3 times I have used their services. I will be sure to update my review if anything changes on my next visit.
Best Auto Repair shop in Grosse Pointe. They do good work, they are very helpful and I didn’t have any problems atleast. I would recommend Sam to anyone!Cody Keys
Our family is on a very tight budget at the moment. I really appreciate Sams help in fixing my van at a reasonable cost. Thank you so much.
Sam the owner is extremely honest, fair, and humble. I will recommend this shop to anyone that brings up cars and/work needed on cars. Sam is the man and get the job done Quickly, and accurate the first time. Ill definitely be back!
We are always treated like family. They come in at or under the quoted price every time. The workmanship is excellent. We would recommend the Mack Auto Center to anyone looking for a mechanic.
Very nice people. They had someone come jump my wifes car which had a failed battery. My wife went right to the shop and they were able to change her battery in no time. Will be back.
Great experience, had an exhaust leak and they fixed it in one day. Amazing service would recommend and go again
AWESOME service, wonderful people & amazing deal!! Sam rescued me at 4PM on a Saturday when my brakes went suddenly. They scrambled to get the parts and stayed open late to fix my car. I am so impressed and thankful for a business like this. They have a customer for life now.
Had my Jeep serviced here, was completely dead, tried all the YouTube fixes but the work was above my pay grade, called at 10:30 AM told them the issue that I was having...towed at 11:30, had my car back and on the road by 4:30...fair price, nice people that work there....would recommend, and will be using them again in the future
I was very pleased being a first time customer. I have an older car that was overheating. They diagnosed the problem quickly. The work was done quickly and for a fair price. This place has earned my business.
I dropped my car off at 9 a.m., by noon it had new brake pads and an oil change at a reasonable price. Best of all is they have always been knowledgeable and honest, and an honest mechanic that you can trust is worth his weight in gold.
Feel so relieved after my car was taken care of and the advise Sam provided, very trustworthy! Sam, Mike, Michael, Milton and the guys at the Lube Shop are professional, and so very nice! This was an awesome experience! Thank you!
Sam and his guys are awesome. Fair, honest, and efficient. Highly recommend!
Always a quick accurate diagnosis with repairs done at a fair price
The mechanic Matthew admitted to putting the wrong part in my car resulting in a blown head gasket. The owners refused to give me a refund on the work, the estimated cost to fix the damage is around $1600. This is after spending a total of $2100 in repairs with them already. Avoid using this company. In my opinion, nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, its how you handle those mistakes is what matters most. They were given the opportunity to fix the problem but they refused. I guess the money is more important than their reputation.
Great service. They try to get to the root of problem at a reasonable cost and help out the customer. Friendly staff who explain what they are doing before doing it and very knowledgeable.
If you need auto work please see sam!! Hes honest and fair. He will have your vehicle back to you in no time. My car wouldnt start in my driveway . I called Sam and sent one of his guys out to jump my car and bring it in to his shop. He put a new battery in and I was back at home in less than a hour.
Every time i come here with my car, they instantly make time to fix it! They treat me like family. Great people and great service
I traveled an hour and 20 minutes to buy a car from him. I trusted it was in good shape with all the good reviews he got. I paid way more than what this vehicle is worth. Im a single mother of 2 and gave him all I had hoping that i wouldnt have to put anymore money into it. Turns out Ive had to replace the struts, it needs new tires all around, it needs a new axle, and now the heat doesnt work. Me and my children get to freeze when were in the car now. These are all pretty expensive repairs that i cannot afford! Once again being a young female has caused me to get screwed over again. 😭😭😭
Sam is the most honest repair person I have ever met
Brought my car in without warning, needed my fuel pump replaced. Sam got the part in a hurry and the repair was done the next day. Great timely service, at a fair price.
They were very nice and friendly. They got the job done and did a good job. I would recommend them to a lot of people.
Sam was nice enough to help a young 22 year old girl out with her flat tire. I called Sam and he was willing to stay late and plug the tire for the girl then wouldnt even take any money for it. Thank you Sam for paying it forward.
Sam and his crew have been incredibly helpful this past year with everything from bubbled tires to dead batteries to cracked windshields! As a young woman with no knowledge of cars I was afraid of getting screwed over, but I trust Sam to help me make the right choices to keep my car running without spending more than I can afford. I wouldnt take my car anywhere else!
My parents got a flat tire, and were despetately looking for a quick and reasonably-priced repair. This shop fixed it for them and wouldn’t take a penny! Wow! Our whole family will be bringing our cars there for service! Thanks for showing that kind of goodwill.
I trust Sam and his crew more than my own dealership! Excellent service, great turnaround time and awesome price!
These men stayed an hour over their closing time to help me in need when I needed same-day repair on my car. Provided flexible payment options, and did it all with a smile and patience. I suggest anyone who lives in the Grosse Pointe Woods area to get their cars repaired here.
I have been going to Sammy for a few years and have never had better service from anyone. Recently, he warrantied significant damage to my vehicle due to pot holes. He always prioritizes my issue and walks me through any problems. He recently fixed my headlights for free. I always appreciate being treated like family, and I would recommend him to anyone.
Sam & Co. have kept my old car on the road and saved me money along the way. Highly recommended.
Fast service, good price, great knowledge, friendly people.
So I took my car in and told them cylinder 5 was misfiring on my Buick, thanks to my handy OBD tool. The mechanic told me no, its a random misfire on all cylinders, and he was 100 percent sure changing the spark plugs and wires would fix it. I was relieved! After changing them, it had exactly the same problem. Then, the owner tells me if I sign the car over to him, he wouldnt charge me! What a deal. I admire theyre money-making skills, but I certainly cant recommend them.
Went to them twice so far. Both times Ive got friendly service, a fair price, and professional service done in the time frame given. Yes, I would recommend them.
Great guys to work with! Got it fixed right the first time at very reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone who asked.
I trust Sam with my car completely...just had a battery completely die-Sam helped me out immediately. Good work and good prices.
I would never recommend this place to anyone.
Took great care of me and hadMy car fixed by 3pm on a Saturday. My Honda CRV rides So much smoother! THanksFellas!
Quick and efficient. The guys that work there are very detailed and take pride in their work.
Very very very very good work always the guys do sam is very very sweet and nice love them and the awesome work that they do ☺☺☺☺☺
Trustworthy, good value and fast turnaround!
I cannot express enough how much these guys have saved my car and me. Sam is smart, personable and friendly, so are the mechanics Mike and Derik. When mentioning to my mom how great they are and them wanting me to see the old parts and how bad they were, then new parts installed to even picking me up and dropping me off at home because its my only car, she said They love what they do! She nailed it and because of that and more, I know they are the best mechanics and Sams the best owner in the area. Will be telling everyone I know about them. Some, seeing my old car and that I am still driving it are surprised. Me, I am just elated. I have my car back. Thank you guys, will see you soon for the oil change and fluid checks. UPDATE: First, I guess I never posted this as public, which was over a year ago, so I posted it a bit ago.I am glad I have the opportunity to revise this. I still take my car there, they are still as adamant about their work, as they always have been, and stand by it. They are extremely patient with me, when sometimes I just show up out of the blue! Mike and Derik always say Hi Patty while working in the bays. That is why I have to update, because it gets better! In Nov. of this past year, I had some repair done, finding an alternator issue in addition to the repair I went in for, I asked Sam if I could make payments toward the whole bill, because I am on a fixed income. He was happy to agree to that. Due to some health issues over the winter and some personal family issues, I had only made only one payment. We had talked back and forth during that time, Sam saying to not worry and pay him when I could. Who does that now a days? Finally, I went in at the end of APRIL! I told Sam I wanted to pay towards the invoice, he asked me how much, I got my checkbook out to see and told him an amount. Having other bills during the winter, I was happy he was gracious enough to still extend the payments. He then told me, this is your balance....He had printed out the invoice, with my first payment deducted and then attached a receipt to it that had a zero balance and written on it Paid in Full by Sam. With tears in my eyes, I could not have been more relieved and feeling blessed. Sam asked if they were happy tears, I said of course. If you take your car in, know that you will get a fair price on the excellent quality of work they perform. My car is old, it has needed some major repairs and some maintenance on it, each and every time the price has been unbelievably fair and as a repeat customer, Sam goes out of his way to find the best price on parts for his customers. Every time I go in there, I hear Sam, Mike or Derik, treating their customers with the utmost respect. That is hard to find these days.
I got off work to a flat tire, Sam stayed open to patch it, patched it immediately, and was so nice. Didnt charge me. Deniably replaceing my tired later there!
I came in from Grand Rapids to see a Tigers game. Didnt think anyone would be able to look at my overheating problem. He fit me in. The new radiator they put in cost less than my refurbished one from 6 years ago! Thanks guys.
Had an emergency repair, Sam took care of it for me, Great Service! Recommend!
Best shop and service in town and done very quickly and for a very good price will not take my car anywhere but here great service
They put a timing belt kit in my Honda pilot and then put the wrong thermostat in my vehicle and now both of head gaskets are blown and they wont fix it . They dont even call you back and give you a update on your vehicle . I had to call them so many times an ask them whats going on with my vehicle. I will never ever take my vehicles back there again.
Took my car in for an alternator and the price was more than fair and they treated me like family. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Friendly owner, good prices and fast work !!
Sam and his staff are so accommodating. If I ever have a problem with one of my vehicles I go straight to Sam.
Thanks Sam!! AMAZING turn around time!
These guys are awesome, fair price, knowledgeable and honest! Everything you can ask for in a mechanic!
John Dixon is on of the best mechanic there
