Just took my vehicle to Bauer, formerly Meekhof, for tire repair and after deciding to leave…read morebecause a tire quote seemed exceptionally high, they wanted me to sign a refusal-of-service waiver, which I refused to do. The younger man at the counter threatened to keep my vehicle if I didn't sign it. That threat, Bauer, is not only asinine, it's legally called "an unlawful detention of property." A repair shop CANNOT hold a vehicle simply because someone refuses to sign a refusal-of-service or liability waiver. Good thing you relented. You'd have a lawsuit on your hands right now. By the way, I just got the two Pirelli tires you attempted to overcharge me on for $200 less than your outrageous quote, including all installation costs. You tried to take advantage of a woman new to GR and in need of the repair of a flat tire. But you messed with the wrong woman. Go elsewhere, people!

I've never really had a great experience when it comes to mechanics or auto repair shops, because I…read morefeel like I'm going in completely blind and uneducated, just hoping that the team doesn't take advantage of my naivete. However, Meekhof has always been super friendly. I've had to vist them twice in the last couple of months due to an issue in my car and they fixed it pretty quickly. They provide a shuttle service within a certain area but I didn't use it. Their hours are pretty convenient (early mornings at least) and if you can't make it before close, they can give you a call and let you pay over the phone and leave your key in a secure area to pick up your car if needed. While no one ever wants to go to an auto repair shop unexpectedly, the guys at Meekhof took care of me and explained it to the best of my ability to understand. Prices were definitely fair - I got a couple quotes from local dealerships and they beat the price by a couple hundred dollars! Definitely plan on keeping these guys as my local repair shop.

I have a Toyota Rav-4 Hybrid and am relieved to know that the mechanics understand and are experts on these types of vehicles. I no longer have to take a gamble on an inexperienced auto-service or pay the high prices at a dealership where you cant be sure you're going to get proper Hybrid maintenance anyway. I also appreciate that the owners are trying to fight the big car companies for the right to repair. I'm tired of being squeezed for every cent I have when I already bought the product.

It is never "fun" to take a car in for service and face the prospect of significant and/or expensive repairs (especially with a car that has 200,000 miles on it!), being without a vehicle and making decisions about what "needs" to be done now versus what can be done later. Everyone I worked with was pleasant, professional, and not only did they listen to my concerns, but they also gave solid, common sense, recommendations about how best to proceed. In addition, the fact they were able to provide me with a loaner vehicle was extremely helpful as I had a number of things to do that required transportation and I was able to accomplish all of them without any difficulty. I filled up the loaner's gas tank and got it washed which, as always seems to be the case, probably explained the 6" of snow fall that evening. The repairs resolved my issues, and it was a pleasure working with everyone at Ervine's. Perhaps the most meaningful thing I can say is that I will return to Ervine's to deal with some of the remaining issues that were identified.

While waiting in the customer service area the owner Johnny told me " that he was having a problem getting my car to heat up'', so he let it run . After some time the repair was made the car was pulled out (and paid for) where upon I immediately pointed out a loud groaning in the engine accompanied by loud valve tapping. Johnny said perhaps it had been that way and I had not noticed? Since my need for a vehicle was imperative taking care on my conically ill son I had no urge nor extra money to go back to the repair facility to be told ''so sad to bad'' it has been 2 weeks of listening to it, which became to much, and I went back today. Expecting nothing, I was not disappointed, they pulled the car in, huddled around it and shortly after which I was told '' it was internal. and not his problem''. I told him ''Johnny. you know very well that it did not sound like this when I brought it in''? All he said was ''it was internal and not his problem'' Before I took it in I went to another repair facility which told me that ''more than likely the car was left unattended and over heated to the extent that it warped a valve and was not detrimental, yet unlikely to fix it self'' I would like to complain to warn others to be very very careful.
