While their appointments were scheduled out to Wednesday they said, bring it by and let us take a look.

Employees friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond. You will not be disappointed.

Do not go to this place; unless you don't have a problem with Dale Stroebel giving any information…read moreabout your vehicle to Car-fax or other agencies. I went there to have an unusual noise checked out. I felt that paying him, $90, for his time and effort was a good decision. As it turns out.....NOT a good decision at all! He diagnosed the noise as the flywheel between the engine and transmission needing to be replaced. In addition, he also listed his needed repairs that were unrelated to my concern. They were axles, steering linkage and suspension parts, and an oil change. He gave an estimate of $3,086 for the cited repairs and I just had the oil changed 1 month ago. I was not told that he would be publicizing my vehicle's VIN and the cited repairs online for anyone (including car dealers) with access to Car-fax to see. When you go to trade in your car or truck after Dale Stroebel gives you an estimate, even if he does not do any work on your car, this information will be published! He told me this after the fact, and after I had visited a car dealership. There was no up front disclosure regarding his use of the information that he gleaned by inspecting my car.

They said they guess they might be able to look at it and criticized me for bringing it all the way to Bay City for only blinker and brake lights because I live in Tuscola County, even though I stated that I needed to come into Bay City for an appointment and my son's class this evening. Geez I'm sorry I didn't realize you cared where you got your business from. I wouldn't recommend them at all. They might be allegedly good with cars but if I can't call or speak to them without getting talked down to like I'm a child I'll take my business elsewhere. Thanks but no thanks.

I made an appointment 7 days prior for a tire changeover from winter to summer tires (I wish I could've done it sooner). A couple of days before my appointment, I called and asked if they could add-on an electrical problem with a headlight and change the headlight and they said yes. I brought my car in a 1/2 hour early. They kept it for over 6 hours before Dennis telephoned me to say they didn't get to work on it because of working on cars from yesterday... really? He apologized and said they could start on it first thing Monday morning. I picked up my car and tires and told Dennis I was very disappointed in being treated this way and I asked if all their customers were treated this way - especially since I made the appointment 7 days prior. Dennis said well, they did have "other" cars to work on... how smug of him. Were the "other" cars on the schedule prior to mine... how ridiculous. This was so disrespectful to me that now, I will not disrespect myself by returning to Hampton Auto Repair to give them my business. It was just a few months ago that I spent over $1,000 there and was a regular customer, but no more. By the way, if I performed My job in this manner there would be consequences. Lacking in customer service. I do not blame the mechanics. By Kathryn Cristoforo, Bay City, MI

I will say they are honest, but they cant fix it right the first time. I had to take my car back 3 times for the same problem. Not great when you spend $1200 only go start it in their parking lot and its still broke. They made it right, but it took 3 tries. I decided to give them another shot when I had trouble for a different issue a year later since they were so nice and tried hard to make it right, but once again, they couldn't fix the issue. I will never bring another vehicle here ever again. Also, they tell everyone to leave their car off at 8am and they get to it when they get to it. I brought my car in a 4pm the night before and at noon the next day it still hadn't moved. No reason I should have to leave my car there all day for a simple 2 hour brake job.
