They had to repair rear hatch/damage to the hinges, also diagnosed why I was having such trouble putting the hatch up and down in addition to the hinges, fixed that, and had it done very quickly. They washed the car and cleaned it! The RAV4 definitely looks better than when I left it! So happy with them and would highly recommend. My sister also had work done after she hit a deer and she was so impressed that she referred me to Tate's. I would go there again if needed in a hot minute.

I was involved in a collision in January and was referred to Olsen's because they supposedly…read moreoffered loaner vehicles. My car became undrivable before their loaner was available, so I had to bring it in early. At drop-off, I spoke with Mary Jean, who agreed over the phone that I could pay the repair balance in installments since I needed to use my savings to purchase a temporary beater car. Based on that agreement, I went ahead and bought an inexpensive vehicle and waited for the repairs. Once the work was completed, the entire agreement was suddenly denied. I was then contacted by Deb, who immediately began pressuring me to either pay the full balance upfront or sell my car to them at an extremely low and unrealistic price. When I refused, she informed me they would start charging $100 per month just to keep my repaired vehicle on the lot--something never disclosed in advance. She repeatedly referenced a supposed "normal" rate of $100 per day as if it were a threat, even though none of this was part of the original conversation with Mary Jean. The behavior felt strategic and manipulative, designed to corner me into selling them my car. When I arrived with the $2,000 I had borrowed from a friend, the visible shock on Deb's face said everything--she clearly expected I'd have no choice but to give in. The entire situation made me feel like they were taking advantage of someone they assumed couldn't push back. The store manager refused to speak with me by phone and insisted on email only, adding to the frustration. Throughout the ordeal, I received dismissive remarks, including being told I "couldn't be trusted" to pay--even though their last-minute changes were the only reason the situation escalated. I genuinely cannot understand how a business operates this way and stays open. Between the shifting terms, undisclosed fees, pressure tactics, and lack of basic professionalism, this was one of the worst experiences I've had with any repair shop. I would strongly advise others to avoid Olsen's entirely.

Both times I've taken our cars here they have fixed the problem, given clear communication about what work they will be doing and how much it is going to cost, and they have had the car ready when they said it would be done both times. It's hard to find an honest auto mechanic sometimes, but the guys at A1 Auto are good ones.

BUYER BEWARE: Redmond Automotive is not transparent about when and for how much they will charge…read moreyour credit card and that they do not offer refunds. Upon making an appointment over the phone with this auto-shop to install an electrified hitch on our 2015 SUV (for which this part is readily available) they asked for our credit card info in advance of bringing our vehicle in for service. We gave it to them, assuming that we would be consulted before any charges were applied to our card. We were wrong in that assumption. After talking with a car savvy friend we learned that the quote Redmond Automotive offered was entirely too high, "that's highway robbery!", our friend said, and so we called to cancel our appointment. Said appointment was over one week away from the time our cancelation. When we spoke with a representative re: our need to cancel this appointment, we were told that we would be reimbursed for all charges to our credit card. After four days passed and our card had not yet been refunded, we called again to check on the reimbursement. At that point we were told that they do not offer refunds and that the charges would stick. NOTE: Redmond Automotive charged our credit card for the FULL QUOTE for work that was NEVER done. The part had merely been ordered. NO work had been done, they didn't even have our car. Yet they charged us for the LABOR (never happened) and the part. In trying to come to terms over this egregious charge in person with the owner of Redmond Automotive , we were verbally insulted and our requests for a full refund were denied. We were left paying 3x what we know the part costs at Advanced Auto. 3 times! Gross. We ended up paying for this over-priced part, needless to say, we will never return to this business. We hope this review spares you any trouble as well.

I recently had work done at Redmond Auto. I initially chose them because they have free loaner cars…read more(the struggle of having transportation while getting car repairs done is real!). I was completely satisfied with the work done. We figured out that the same parts were replaced a year earlier at another facility after an auto accident. I won't mention the name of that facility, but they also charged my insurance company for service they didn't do. Not to mention the suspension parts failure a year later could have ended up in a dangerous situation. John and his team had me back up and running. Fast forward 2 weeks later, I managed to get a screw stuck in my tire. Terrible time of year (Nov) to try to get a tire repair done. After calling several tire shops, who were booked out weeks, I attempted to call the service dept of the dealership where I purchased my car AND the tires. After having to call back twice and told that they couldn't get me in for a month or so (for a 10 min tire repair) I decided to give Redmonds a call. John said to bring it in right away and they would take a look at it. About 10 min after arriving I was patched up and back on the road. No charge. Moral of the story - honest work and good customer service go a long way! Redmond will get my business for any future repairs (or tire purchase!). The big fancy dealership who can't be bothered to accommodate a 10 min tire repair, not so much. They lost any future sales for a car, tires or service. Redmond Auto for the win!

D&W used to service transmissions for a small mechanic shop I worked at in Leelanau county, so I've seen them do over 40 transmissions in my short time as a mechanic. We never had a problem with any of their work! Not a single tranny, and I'd be willing to bet that's the norm for Wayne and the D&W crew. So now, when the trans in my plow truck finally had had enough, I confidently took it to D&W. Wayne took me for a diagnostic cruise in my truck so he could explain what was happening and what would have to be done for repairs. It's great that he took the time to help me understand how and why! I do most repairs on my vehicles, but transmissions are over my head, can't thank you enough D&W!!
