Originally quoted me around 600 to 700 bucks over the phone. I was ok with the quote so no biggie. They got my truck in, it was diagnosed as what we thought it was when we talked on the phone.

A huge shout out to this locally owned business!!

I have 39 years of engine building experience. Used their shop before to bore/balance a…read morestreet/strip motor and their workmanship was pretty good. Most recently though (July 2023) I dropped off a 1967 numbers matching 383 super commando block with heads and almost 3k in rotating assembly parts (F steel crank, Icon F pistons and Eagle H-beam rods). Didn't bother the shop because I know good work can take time. Two weeks in I get a call that my cylinder heads are cleaned and ready for me to port them before valves and hardened seats are installed. Gave them $400 cash, which is way more than the cleaning/mag check was worth, towards total bill since I was taking the heads out of shop for a short time. The owner of the engine wanted higher compression so I returned a different pair of heads to the shop for the same treatment. When I did, I was informed that the numbers matching/virgin block had to be sleeved (Machinist error) and I wouldn't be charged for the service?! A Mopar 383 can be bored.080 over with no problems more if sonic checked. I was only boring this motor.040 over. They should have never sleeved the block without first contacting me. Purchasing new pistons would not have been an obstacle. The final boring of the sleeve was also poorly machined as the ridge at the base of the sleeve disappeared on one side of the bore. Kept my cool, told them thanks for being honest and left. Returned two days later with two more 383 virgin blocks and told them that the machinist that ruined the first block (Owner's son) wasn't to touch these two. We unloaded them on a cart at the shop door. Returned 5 days later and my blocks were still on the cart next to the shop door untouched. Told them that I was taking all of my parts out of their shop and that the block they ruined was theirs to keep. Left the crankshaft because work had been started on it. You can use a re-sleeved motor but, not for the purpose that I was building it. Got back to my shop and inspected the cylinder heads and found that only five of the valves had been replaced. No matter how well you clean them, old valves will have carbon pitting. Didn't receive a call on the crank for 3 weeks so I called and when I did It just so happened to be ready that day. When I got to their shop I wanted to see the work order for the cylinder heads and the tech that did them (the owner's other son). The work order said 16 new valves and a work total of $848.00. When I told him that he did not replace all 16 valves, he bald face lied and said that he did. I told him that he had just lied to me and that he had no integrity. He became clearly upset. When I told him how long I've been building engines and that he only replaced five valves (the exact number of his deception) his expression became blank and he was lost for words. He then couldn't remember which heads they were and wanted to see them. He was "pretty sure" he replaced them all ect. ect. Either you did or you didn't simple as that. They tried to charge me for my old vales. Told them that their shop had just earned all the free advertising I could give them, paid for the crank work, not the heads and told them I didn't need a receipt because we are Done. Use this shop at your own risk

The dealerships have let me down and I won't return to them for any reason. The pricing is very fair for the work that they do.

Mason Street Garage is a local auto shop tucked away off Fuller on the NE side of Grand Rapids…read more It's really close to my house and I'd heard the name before, so when I started having car trouble I gave them a call. The guy who answered the phone, Rick, was super friendly and very polite. He told me I could have my car towed that day and they'd try to take a look at it, but it was a Friday so he wasn't sure if they'd get to it. Totally fine. He gave me the number of a tow company that they work with that picked up my car. I didn't hear anything by the end of the day Friday, so I figured they weren't able to get to it. On Monday I got a call from Rick who gave me the bad news... pretty expensive repair but I had already figured that out from Googling. He said he'd order the parts and hopefully get them yet that day. I didn't hear anything back by the end of the day, so I figured they weren't able to get to it. Ha! Then I got a call on Tuesday afternoon saying my car was ready. Luckily my boyfriend and I work together so I wasn't needing a car while it was being worked on. Rick was again super friendly and polite when I picked up my car and everything is running smoothly again. He even followed up with me a couple days later via text to see if everything was still going okay. The lack of communication I experienced the first couple of days might stress some people out, but I wasn't too worried. I will be going to Mason Street Garage for all maintenance from now on. It's really nice to support a local business that cares about their customers and provides friendly service during what can be stressful situations.

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.

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!
