Wow. Damon's saved us. We had a leak in our tire, on a road trip. . They fixed it very quickly and we were back on the road. And they were a delight to talk to. read more

This place has been closed for years. Was good, but no car service here now. It is a wine bar.

Good service!Knowledgeable staff... Fair pricing too. I definitely recommend them whether you are just visiting or live here full-time. read more

Dimensions is an honest and extremely good service..priced appropriately and friendly service

These are truly good people. We were on a road trip from out of state when my car started making noise. I found the nearest shop and hoped they would be able to take a look so I could continue on. Even though they were very busy and I know it made their day harder, they still checked my car. They were friendly and took care of what I needed right on the spot. They did not have to do that for me, but they did, and I am truly grateful. I highly recommend supporting this business. read more

They helped us with our Jeep and really knew their stuff, all while being friendly and easy to talk to. If I lived nearby, this would be my first choice for any repairs. I'd recommend them over any other shop in the area without hesitation. read more

I can't say enough good things about Damon Automotive! On my way to Northern Michigan from Chicago, my check engine light started blinking on my Wrangler just past Mile Marker 1. I pulled over around Mile 12, searched for a nearby repair shop, and found Damon--just two miles away with amazing reviews. And let me tell you, those reviews are well-earned! I pulled in, stressed and unsure if anyone would be able to help that day. Brian and Kayla greeted me with patience and understanding, and despite their busy schedule, they found time to check out my car. Not only did they diagnose the issue quickly, but they also got the part, made the repair, and had me back on the road in just two hours. Everyone I encountered was kind, honest, and incredibly down-to-earth. They even let me hang out in their lobby with my two dogs! The space was clean, welcoming, and decorated with fun automotive memorabilia. The bathroom was spotless too--which is always a plus when you're traveling. Thanks to Damon Automotive, my car is running perfectly, and I made it to my destination the same day. I'll be recommending them to everyone I know, especially those passing through or staying in the Sawyer area. Truly a gem of a shop! read more

Friendly and very helpful. I've been very happy with the service and pricing. Need some help in an emergency call Damon Automotive.

Incredible service on last minute notice. Highly recommend, will go back if needed. Thank you Damon team!

On a summer Sunday afternoon (during Mercury retrograde) I drove from Chicago to Harbert to visit old friends and intended to return home. After we drove to Galien and back for lunch, I pulled into their driveway, turned off the ignition, and moments later, when I went to restart the car, it was completely dead. Nothing. I called roadside assistance for a jump, but oddly enough, the battery tested fine. And yet, the car wouldn't start. My mood shifted suddenly from optimism to ominous anticipation. Was it the starter? Alternator? Then, an odd alert said to check the transmission, which sank me into grieving the loss of my 12-year-old Fiat 500. So, I stayed overnight, called for a tow first thing Monday morning, and hoped against hope it wasn't the end. I called Damon with a heads-up, and Kayla was patient and professional on the phone with distraught needy me. I understood they couldn't promise when it might be done. I was coming out of the blue into a busy shop with many repairs in progress and appointments for maintenance. I decided to leave it and rent a car, as I expected the worst and had to be back in Chicago. But right before I was about to get on the tollway, Kayla called to tell me they had diagnosed and fixed the car!! Underpromise and overdeliver! It was running just fine! So, I turned right around, drove back, and paid for the car, returned the rental, and made it back in time! The thick braided earthing strap beneath the battery had frayed and disintegrated, so the contact was broken, wreaking havoc. Brilliant diagnostics. Damon Automotive replaced it in a snap, and the price was right! Everyone in the shop was kind and straightforward. The customer service was gracious. I wish I could clone Damon Automotive closer to home! Bob and his team ROCK. read more

Super friendly and honest shop - also very timely. This is the place to go in the area

My 2007 Honda Pilot left front tire area started making loud scraping sound. I called Damon (Bob) at 9:30 8nbthe morning and the car was fixed by 2pm. Excellent service and very fair pricing! I would recommend Damon without any hesitation! read more

Always a great "go to" service guy. From a flat to a major problem, this guy is honest. hard to find these days. Highly recommend. read more

Best auto repair shop in Southwest Michigan. Bob is a straight talker and explains all of the necessary fixes and pricing for each.

We had a flat tire while on vacation. They got us in right away and had us our way in an hour.

This place is a lifesaver -- my husband and I moved into the area three years ago and Bob, his wife, and his son have kept our [kinda] crappy cars running well through our encounters with winter and MDOT roads. Highly recommend! read more

These guys are awesome! Got my car stuck in a sand Dune being stupid. Bent my stabilizer bar being pulled out by some guy in the parking lot. Damon Automotive fixed my damage for me speedy quick and got me back on the road to finish my girls weekend. Super nice guy, put a lot of heart into his work . He didn't over charge me because I was from out of town, his fees were reasonable. The weekend would have been ruined if not for him. :) read more

An honest mechanic is not that hard to find - you just have get to Damon Automotive on Red Arrow in Sawyer, about 90 minutes from Chicago. Bob and his guys are well skilled at modern cars - but they've taken care of my vintage Land Cruiser for the past several years and I couldn't be happier. Recently, I failed to know how to engage my choke and expected it would need to be replaced. Upon description - Bob told me what the problem was (me) and showed me how to solve it. While it is reasonable to assume that what he did was the right thing - finding someone to do it and not stick you with a bill is something altogether different. I've paid for other services - but letting me off the hook for my ignorance was appreciated above all other things. read more

Good guy that won't choke your wallet. I am a local and highly recommend him. Would not hesitate taking any car too him.

Wow great service! I was traveling down the highway when I had an unforeseen failure of one of my rear brakes. Hard grinding told me that I couldn't drive any further and I made my way off the highway and somehow found this place. I am glad that I did! I explained my plight to Bob Damon of the Damon Automotive Professional Car Clinic at 12514 Red arrow Hwy. I considered my situation dire since I was not a local resident and I was hours from home with a truck I couldn't drive. He had the perfect chance to rake me over the coals or just tell me to go someplace else. He made me a priority repair, at a price that was better than anything I am use to. I wish I lived closer and could bring all of my vehicle repairs here. Professional, quality service. Thanks again! read more

This place was great! My boyfriend and I are headed to Ludington on a fishing trip and had the alternator go out on his F-150 and managed to coast the truck off the highway. Nice family, very professional, accommodating and fast. Back on our way! Thanks, guys!! read more

Damon Automotive in Sawyer Mi is the best discovery I have ever landed upon. The first time I went there three years ago, not only did they fit my car in quickly, but the price was remarkable, and Bob the owner is incredibly knowledge and so so kind. Since that time, everyone in our family, and all my friends, have had their car serviced there. Whether it be my 2008 Volvo wagon with 180,000 miles, our 2015 or 2019 BMW, or our Kias', Bob has fixed them all! And he does it with a smile every time. So don't miss out in this great find of an automotive service repair shop! read more

We have an old jeep wagoneer (WOO!) and an old mail truck so we've been to Damon Automotive more than once. We tried a lot of places in the area and Bob is by far the guy we trust the most. He does a great job and he knows his shit. When it comes to things I don't know much about (like cars and websites) it's invaluable to find people you can trust. He gives us the straight answers on what needs to be done right away and what can wait. Good people with integrity and that's hard to find in the industry. read more

Absolutely the nicest people here! Driving from Chicago to Detroit my car broke down at 10pm in Sawyer, MI, I was able to get a tow to Damons auto and left my car there overnight with a note and had to stay at a nearby motel. They were able to fix my car the next morning and even picked me up from the motel. Highly recommend!!! Good people. read more

Had quite a bit of work done on my truck there this past month. Very fast service and very thorough about going over everything that was needed. I will be going back and I highly recommend Damon's automotive repair shop. read more

Excellent local business! I've gone here three or four times now. Bob is the best. Alway ready to serve and get the job done right. I highly recommend him for your car repair needs. He's done great work on both my Subaru Forester and Toyota Prius. read more

Always a satisfied customer. Have been taking my cars to Bob Damon for over 15 years now and have never had any complaints about the service I've received. Most recently a warning light came on while I was using my car (which I need in order to complete my workday). Not only did Damon Automotive take my car when I was able to drop it off but offered me a loaner so I could complete my work! Multiple repairs on multiple vehicles and still a happy loyal customer. read more

For starters I dropped by mid day to ask about all the lights that kept appearing on my dash. I expected that Bob would give me an appointment to come back for a check up but instead he took the time to diagnose the problem right there. He checked a few things under the hood then hooked my car up to the computer. He spent a good 30 minutes on this even though I could tell he was busy at the time. I dropped my car off a few days later for the repairs, he ran me back home, had my car fixed within 24 hours and again picked me up at my house. He also gave my car a once over and let me know what needed to be repaired, and what I needed to keep an eye on. I expected the total cost to be more than it was. I have to say that I am completely satisfied and relieved that I have found a mechanic who will get all my future business. read more

An honest mechanic who does good work. All my dealings with Bob Damon have been excellent. He is attentive to his customers, his prices are reasonable and he does good work. read more

Bob Damon, owner of Damon Automotive, bailed me out on my recent trip through Michigan. After towing my vehicle due to complete transmission failure to his shop, he analyzed the situation and diagnosed that it would need a transmission replacement. I had to leave the vehicle there and without hesitation, Bob drove me 15 miles to the nearest car rental agency. His helpfulness and honesty was far beyond what I normally receive from any auto repair shop. Without his generous help, I would have been completely stranded and my plans to celebrate my 40th wedding anniversary with my wife would have been completely ruined. Thank you again, Bob! Continued success in your business! read more

Just took my car in today. We are visiting from Chicago and the car started stuttering when we were on the off ramp. Made it to our hotel. Took the car in after checking in. The stuttering went away. It the check engine light remained on. Took it to this shop for peace of mind. He was on his way out but was kind enough to check my car. Looks like I should have a tune up but can wait until we return home. No charge! Such nice people! read more

i just took my car here last night. I was stranded in a snow storm on the side of the road just outside Sawyer due to a failed alternator (as a result of a faulty install job done at my local dealership the week prior). AAA towed me to the nearest repair shop, which so happened to be Damon Automotive. I have never been so impressed with the level of efficiency and customer service at any other car repair place. They were able to examine my car first thing in the morning and kept me updated at the top of each hour to let me know how things were progressing and to assure me of their knowledge and care for my vehicle. After diagnosing the problem, the owner even drove all the way out to the hotel I was staying at to pick me up (due to my lack of transportation). Amazing service, extremely knowledgable technicians, and incredibly sweet people. They made a horrible situation more positive than I could have imagined. read more
