We had a great experience at Auto Surgeon. They take the time to talk to you and explain what is necessary and what is not, without any pressure or hard sell. They are extremely professional in all aspects. You receive text notifications and a detailed email report with photos and recommendations in clear language. Such great communication. Cant imagine taking our anywhere else from now on.

Extremely impressed with the courtesy, efficiency, and professionalism of the staff here.Had my car towed in to replace a dead starter. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and clear in communication.Use of email and online reports as well as text makes communication easy, constant, and transparent.My car troubles were diagnosed and completed in less than 24 hours and I would recommend Auto Surgeon to anyone. Already have, in fact!

Bill makes the process of taking your car in super easy. I was able to drop off before he opened and pick up late after they close.Everything that was wrong or needed to be done was very clearly communicated and explained.His customer service is THE BEST around. I moved out of state and ended up having an issue with something. I called Bill to see what could be done, he submitted paper work to Napa on my behalf.Highly recommend you come to Auto Surgeon if you need work done on your vehicles.Thanks for everything Bill.

Dropped off my wifes car to Auto surgeon, ended up not using their services just due to financial issues. But upon coming back to pick up the car bill was very understanding and professional and even took the time to further explain the issue he thought could be plaguing the car. Very knowledgeable and professional. It was great not feeling any high pressure like other shops. Thank you Bill for your professionalism and car knowledge.

I live in South Carolina but my daughter goes to Michigan State and she had been having issues with her vehicle. I began looking for A mechanic near her and I called Auto Surgeon and spoke to Bill. As I told him my dilemma he was very professional and told me he would help me. No unnecessary work done and no extra charges and Bill told me he would talk to my daughter to reassure her what to do if anything happens in the future. I thanked him numerous times for helping us out and for taking the time to explain everything that was wrong with the car. I would recommend them to anyone needing help with their car or truck...

Honest, fair, and quality service. We received updates and photos of the inspection & work. Ive never had such transparency, not even from a dealership. We used to drive to Flint but were so happy to find someone trustworthy & local!

Bill and the staff at Auto Surgeon expertly handled an urgent car repair request, including arranging towing and quickly diagnosing and completing the repair. Our international student is thrilled with the service and Bills thoughtful communications, and says the car is now running better than ever. Auto Surgeon is Highly Recommended!

Bill runs a tight ship and you will not be treated like just another number. He is always fair when it comes to pricing, but most importantly, hes honest to a fault.

Bill and his crew are top notch. I had several issues with my car and they provided me with a thorough break down of what was wrong including pictures of what needed to be repaired. Even better I had the ability to view all of this online. Im certainly not an expert when it comes to car repair and with Bills help I was able to make an educated decision on what to do next. I highly recommend anyone looking for an honest repair shop to head over to Auto Surgeon.

After 10 + years bringing our fleet of 5 family vehicles to Auto Surgeons we continue to be treated very very well. Pricing is fair, service is quick and professional and we often get great free advice and small repairs at very little to no cost. Bill and team has seen several cars were thinking about buying and give a free quick and honest analysis. Love Bill and the whole crew.

Just called this shop to ask if they would put a battery and power steering pump in. The guy told me he didn’t feel like doing it for no particular reason even if we scheduled far off in the future. Unimpressed to say the least. Too good for my money I guess.

Have taken our three(3) vehicles to Bill and crew for several years now. I wouldnt take our cars and truck) anywhere else. Auto Surgeon is an honest, fair, knowledgeable, dependable, and trustworthy shop.And if they cannot fix a problem (only happened once there .My oversized conversion van wouldnt fit) they tell you and recommend someone. Not common these days.I would recommend then to any/everyone.C.K. Manning

These folks are trustworthy and reliable! They also provide great referrals for work you need done that they dont do. We used to live very close by before moving 25 miles away... still totally worth the trip!

Review №19

My car had a resonant vibration at certain speeds. They correctly diagnosed it as the driveshaft and did tests to prove that before committing significant money to the repair. They did the repair and completely fixed the problem. Their prices are reasonable and they keep you informed via texts and emails which makes the most of all of our time. I will be using them in the future.

I have been coming to Auto Surgeon for well over 25 years. For me, there is no better choice. Im not an expert on cars, but I never have to be concerned about exaggerated issues or unnecessary services. They always explain everything fully until I understand the issues and what needs to be done (and I ask A LOT of questions). The repairs are right, or they make it right. I trust them completely, and would refer anyone to them without hesitation.

Review №21

I took my vehicle to Auto Surgeon based on a recommendation from my sister. She shared a few stories about how fair and honest Bill was. The booking process online was super easy, and when I had to reschedule my appointment due to sick children, the person who took my call was helpful and courteous. Bill took the time to ask about maintenance history on my vehicle and the team provided a detailed report indicating required and suggested services, along with a list of items that were ok. Bill was thorough and patient in sharing next steps and nothing felt rushed. Im excited to be a regular and take both of my vehicles there for any future service needs. Thanks, Auto Surgeon!

Review №22

New to East Lansing and was looking for a car shop for my wifes vehicle to fix an issue with the muffler. Bill and his team were very professional and able to get the vehicle done on very short notice and sooner than initially expected. As someone who knows very little about cars, the process was unintimidating and I felt like I could trust that I wouldnt be taken advantage of. Bill also pointed out other issues with the car and gave great, unsolicited advice about how, when, where, and why to fix them in the future.

Review №24

Incredible experiences. Always felt as though my vehicle was in very capable hands. My vehicle was in pretty rough shape when I first brought it in to Auto Surgeon, but they continued to work with me until all was resolved. They were both swift and thorough in their diagnostics and repairs, and they consistently articulated the relevant information to me in a comprehensible manner. As someone that is unfamiliar with auto parts, that was a big deal to me. I also always felt as though I was receiving excellent customer service. I’m sure that repairing my vehicle has been a real pain to deal with, but they never once made me feel like an inconvenience, though, and I greatly appreciated that. I always felt welcomed to come back if/when something would arise. When I came in for second time on a weekday morning, Bill was even so kinda enough to give me a lift to campus. I didn’t have to miss class, so that was an incredibly act in my eyes because it saved me a lot of trouble.If you want the best service, both in repairs and customer relations, Auto Surgeon is where you want to go. For as long as I’m in the area, if I ever have an issue, that’s where I plan to go.

Review №25

This place does excellent work. Two things in particular make it stand out. First, Bill is considerate of budget restrictions. He only does work when its necessary, and he is forthright on whether its necessary. Second, Bill loves to explain what work they do, which helped me learn quite a bit and be a better informed vehicle owner. Highly recommend.

Bill is incredibly friendly and takes the time to explain what is going on and what all the options are. He has gone above and beyond with customer service and has my business for as long as I live in the Greater Lansing area.

Review №27

The best auto-repair shop I have ever been to. They are honest and upfront, admitting when a repair would not make sense financially for you to do before charging you for it. They truly seem more interested in helping the customer out than making money. I am honestly not sure how they can afford to stay in business, besides the simple fact that when they get a customer they get that customer for life. On top of this, their knowledge about cars is off the charts, and when they cant find a problem, or dont know what a problem is, they dont give up until they find it.I am a car guy, and I couldn’t find out the problem with my car, so I took it to the Honda Dealer with hopes that they could solve the problem. When they charged me a arm and a leg and still didn’t fix the issue I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I found Auto Surgeon, who not only found the problem for me, but did it free of charge, calling it a learning experience for them. I was stunned, and at that moment became a customer for life. I might not often need help with my cars but when I do, I turn to Auto Surgeon.

I have been happy to have Auto Surgeons be my mechanics. They are excellent at repair and fair in their costs. They are highly reliable. They helped me with a minor problem this morning in under half an hour. Love em.

Bill & his team have been taking care of my cars for many years. He has been trustworthy and is fair with charges. His explanations about problem areas are conveyed in a way that I can understand. This is particularly appreciated. I dont believe there is a more trustworthy auto surgeon in the state!

First visit. I chose them based on reviews and was very happy. Bill was upfront, helped me prioritize the maintenance and repairs the car needs and I feel that I can turn off the BS detector that goes off when I know I am not getting the full truth...(well turn it from a 10 to a 1-2 ;-) Bill thanks for a good visit.

Both guys I talked to were super easy to talk to. Bill met my level of knowledge (decent, but not an expert) to communicate effectively. Awesome walk through of what they did and explanation of the electrical setup. Pricing was super fair for the quality of work. Probably the best shop experience Ive had.

Review №39

I highly recommend that everyone takes their car to be serviced at auto surgeon. The shop was first recommended by a friend who swore by their honestly, quality of service, and customer service. Needless to say, she was right. Taking your car in to be fixed can be intimidating, especially if you dont know anything about cars (which is me!). Its hard to know if you are getting a good price and if they are being honest with you. Bill and his staff do an excellent job being honest about your vehicles issues, and would never push you to get something done that wasnt necessary. The first time I brought my car to auto surgeon after my vehicle had been diagnosed, Bill showed me a video of exactly what was happening inside my car so I would know what to look out for in the future. Thats great customer service! Bill has done a great job of explaining the issues my car has had, and I feel I have a better understanding if something like that were to ever happen again. I have brought my car to Auto Surgeon several times and always recommend them to friends. Thanks Bill!

My husband has been taking our vehicles to this repair shop for years. They are honest, they are knowledgeable, they are understanding, they are nice, their work quality is great, their prices are fair, they are transparent, their location is centralized, and this is the only place we call when we need something fixed on our vehicles. My in-laws only take there vehicles here as well. Highly recommended!

Review №43

Based on my experience, I submit they ought to call this place The Auto Necromancer. There is no reason my Subaru, and Buick before that, should still be rolling but these amazing people make it happen. I feel well taken care of and their communication is amazing. They wont swindle or upsell you, and will be straight with you about how to get the most out of your car. Straightforward, honest, high quality, efficient auto repair by great people.I even drove here when I lived out of town because a mechanic that inspires this kind of trust and confidence while doing such good work is damn hard to come by.

Any time Ive taken my car(s) to Bill and his crew at Auto Surgeon I have always received excellent service. They always go the extra mile to ensure my car is in perfect working condition.

My family has been taking cars here for about 20 years. Bill tells us exactly what he finds in the car, AND tells us whether he thinks we actually need to fix it. Quick turnaround on repairs. Always checks used cars before we buy. I dont know if we could find a place we trust more!

Their Website is pretty accurate: Dont expect a plush lounge-like atmosphere with free espresso and wifi, thats not what this shop is about. They do, however, do an amazing job at repairing your vehicle at exceptionally reasonable pricing with terrific service.Thus far I have taken two different vehicles here for two separate issues; both of which they have both repaired and done so in a very efficient manner. Their prices are extremely fair and their service is amazing. I brought the second car back to them because of the service I received the first time. I will continue to bring vehicles to them because of the service the second time around. I cannot recommend them enough, and will ensure my friends and family continue to come here.

My Mazda 3 had some noise and I went to two dealers trying to solve the problem, none of them solve that problem and I paid over $1,000. After a year, I relocated to Lansing and find Auto Surgeon on Google. Auto Surgeon helps me solve that problem with $400. Thank you Auto Surgeon. BTW, Bill is a good business man & Skillful technician.

Review №66

I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS. But I wanted to wait a few months to write a review, just so I didnt jinx myself or my car. But Ive never had such a good experience with my car here. I was calling around to different shops for a certain part, and AutoSurgeon had the best price. Not only were they $200-300 cheaper, but they got me in the same day, and even gave me a ride back to work. It was in and out within just a few hours and after 3 years of issues with my car not starting randomly, violently shaking, going into reduced-power mode they were certain it was my throttle body. They switched it out, programmed it and it has been running like a brand new car for over 2 months now.I will be taking my car here with any further issues I have, thanks to Bill and his staff. They were helpful in every way, even emailed me an estimate which I confirmed via email before any repairs were made.They made this simple, smooth, and painless for me. Thanks guys!

Review №69

Just called to ask how much would they charge to fix my throttle position sensor.. resulting from the diagnostic test being done at AutoZone for my check engine light being on.. Only asked for a simple quote on the price they would charge to fix it as I was looking forward to taking my vehicle in to them for repair. The guy told me that since someone else diagnosed my problem, he refuses to do any repair on my vehicle as it is not good business for him. I am lost for words and just cant believe a professional repair shop would decline service to someone because they had their check engine light diagnosed at an auto parts store. He couldve AT LEAST said, Well Ill just have to re-diagnose the problem myself to see if that is the issue. I would have been fine with that even. As having it diagnosed a second time wouldve been okay with me as long as the issue was fixed. VERY bad business and WOULD NOT recommend this repair shop to anyone who is looking for a genuine, proud working, customer friendly repair shop.

Honestly dont know if this shop writes there own reviews?? I find it very hard to belive theyre a 5 star, they are super rude and try to trick you into thinking there are more things wrong with your car even though I had it inspected by 5 other shops, wont let you bring your own part so they can jack the prices higher and I even got screamed at pretty poor customer service if you ask me. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING HERE PERIOD SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE RUDE DISRESPECTFUL SHOP.

Review №72

Once I discovered Bill Belonge and his Auto Surgeon team, I have not taken my vehicle to anyone else. Bill is forthright and honest - he will not encourage you to do something to your vehicle you dont need. With my older vehicle, he has given me very practical advice, while keeping it in great shape.Once I took my car there for something they do not typically do. Bill sent my car to a colleague of theirs that performs that service, and then retrieved it. I only paid for the service that the other mechanics did - no charge at all from Bill for his work in getting my car the work it needed.Another example - my car is 11 years old, but just hit 103,000 miles. When Auto Surgeon replaced the timing belt & water pump for me, they discovered damaged radiator and air conditioning condenser. The car had likely been in minor front end collision before I bought it 8 years ago. They replaced everything, but the belt made noise. Eventually, they had to replace the belt tensioner, too. NO charge! That would not have been part of the normal repair, and there was no reason to replace it until the new equipment revealed the problem. Bill did not charge for the part or the labor! You CANNOT BEAT that kind of service! They have my loyalty because theyve treated me with complete respect. Thanks, Bill and team!
