The old service manage Vince worked with my father years before and was honest as the day was long…read more I never knew he worked with my father until I told him my father was a mechanic for almost 50 years and I told Vince where he worked. He retired. I do most all of my own vehicle work, but on occasion I used to go to Real Pro Auto in Wyoming. I had my truck in there the last time I went to Real Pro Auto in Wyoming. Before my truck was off the lift I asked the mechanic and service manager if they could give me a price on the exhaust manifold getting replaced, and only the exhaust manifold, I could do all the other work myself. The service manager and the mechanic immediately told me they would have to replace my whole exhaust system, and it would probably be over $3,000. I knew better, and I knew they were just trying to up-sell me. I always laugh when any shop gives me a list of things that need repair, and I know 80%-90% of those things have just been done or are not bad enough for me to worry about yet. After they told me that they would need to replace the whole exhaust system, I asked them "Why would I need to have the other exhaust manifold replaced, it isn't leaking, and why would you have to replace the whole exhaust system and not just what I was asking you to do?" The both said that they would only replace the exhaust manifold if I agreed to replace every single exhaust piece. I know the talk from service managers, and mechanics, I grew up knowing many because of my father. They give the customer a big list on what needs to be done, or things they think up, even if they don't ask for it, then hope the customer is dumb on vehicle repairs and believes that everything needs to be done ASAP in their shop. I was so pissed they wouldn't budge at just fixing what I wanted fixed, and leaving the rest for me to fix. It wouldn't be a safety issue, it wasn't a request to get rid of the Catalytic Converters, (Which I know is illegal for them to do). I could buy OEM parts to replace my whole exhaust myself for under $675 if I wanted to. In there defense I know I would need to figure in the cost of the hours of the mechanic if I agreed to have them do it. But $2,325 of mechanic hours, and $675 or less for parts??????? I don't think so. I will just say this, I met the owner John many years ago, and he seemed like a nice guy. However, I truly think he hired the wrong people after Vince left. Maybe John gives the service managers a bonus if they bring in more money than his other locations, who knows, seems like it though. Maybe John should look at reviews before and after Vince left and compare them. I would bet he will see the reviews hit the floor after Vince left. After my last visit at Real Pro Auto in Wyoming I got an automated text by John on my other vehicle needing something in regards to work. How would he know? They seen the other vehicle 1.5 years before, and never after that. Then I got an automated text another month saying it was John, (I knew it was a automated text), and that one asked me why I haven't been there in a while. I almost replied, however I know he can't be at all three locations all the time and probably has no idea what goes on during most of the day in all locations, so I ignored that text instead of complaining. Now I am warning people, Real Pro Auto when it was smaller with one location was great, now they are bad in my opinion.

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.

Prior to going to Ronda, for years I have/had been taking my car to a different shop (national…read morechain you're all familiar with). It felt like with each year the prices at this national chain I used to go were not just becoming higher, but more dishonest. The work was getting sloppier, timetables got drawn out, the communication sloppy, and the know-how was slipping. Fast forward to present day and I needed some MAJOR work done on my car. The kind of work that is 1/2 a down payment for some folks. I just didn't trust that national chain to work on my car anymore and the quote they gave me was ridiculous. So I shopped around and came across awesome reviews for Ronda on Breton. Let me tell you... the reviews, as good as they are, don't do this place justice. 1. Very fair pricing. Honest brokers! 2. AMAZING work. My car has not driven this well in about 4 years. 3. Expeditious. Despite having to order a part on the spot, they were still able to get the work done in a tight timeframe and same day. 4. Very communicative. Was in contact with them twice during the day and given updates (my thanks to Jacob). I'll be taking my car here from now on. My only gripe is that I waited this long to take it to Ronda to begin with. Excellent place. Trust them. They will take care of you.

They took the time to explain everything without pushing unnecessary repairs--something that's hard to find in an auto shop! The service was fast, and my car runs like new. Fair pricing, honest mechanics, and great customer service--this is my go-to shop from now on. If you're looking for a reliable auto shop in Grand Rapids, this is the place!

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!

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 don't like leaving negative reviews, and I tried hard to avoid doing so here--but I'm sharing…read morethis in case it helps someone deciding where to take their vehicle, especially for anything more complicated than a basic exhaust job. What went well: They did help me choose a setup that met my expectations for sound. From a "parts selection" standpoint, I got what I asked for. The problem: I'm now paying a second shop to do the job I originally came here for: The whole reason I brought my vehicle in was for the exhaust to be tucked up properly and routed cleanly. Instead, the installation was left hanging significantly lower than it should, it wasn't aligned evenly, and the overall workmanship looked rushed and sloppy. At this point, I'm having to pay another shop to correct the fitment and complete the objective I came here for in the first place--which is frustrating and avoidable. That concern also turned into a safety issue: when I drove to another shop afterward, my wife followed behind me and called asking me to pull over because the exhaust was swaying so noticeably while driving. I tried to give them a chance to correct it I went back in good faith to let them make it right. I tried to explain the issue and work with Lyndsey, but I got nowhere and didn't feel my concerns were being taken seriously. Let alone heard. Second opinion confirmed the issue immediately: I took the vehicle to another shop. They got it up on the lift, immediately understood what I was pointing out, and even commented on the poor workmanship. Bottom line If you only need something simple and you're not picky about fitment, maybe you'll have a different experience--but based on what I received and how the follow-up was handled, I would not trust this location. I have two identical vehicles. One has a standard Y-pipe, and the other (serviced at plainfield) has a more "aggressive" rumble box. Both are otherwise stock. Originally, the serviced vehicle sat at roughly 4" from the body at the center exhaust. Just as the completely stock vehicle pictured does. When I removed the mufflers from the sportier vehicle, the pipe dropped significantly. Lyndsay and her tech are claiming the nearly 8" it's currently hanging is "stock," which doesn't align with OEM. Again, I brought this in to have it brought back up and new hardware welded in. They simply welded in some hardware and called it a day. This was an incredibly disappointing experience.

Great people and great service. They were able to get me in and fix my car within a few hours! I…read moredefinitely recommend going here!
