I recently had my 2021 Alfa Romeo serviced at Revive Auto Repair to replace my brake pads/rotors, wiper blades, and for an oil change. The service here was top-tier! Nick was very thorough and honest when providing his recommendations. He didn't try to upsell me on a repair that my car didn't need. They also provided a clear estimate for the repairs, the quote from my dealership was more than double what they quoted me!!! The work was completed on time and within the quoted price. The shop even gave me a detailed explanation of what was done and washed the car for me! I highly recommend Revive Auto Repair for anyone needing auto repair services. They were excellent! read more

Revive Auto Repair will now be our family's FIRST choice for any of our auto care needs! My car ('15 RAV4, with about 92k miles) is pretty well maintained, but it started making a very subtle clacking sound ( which I thought scary and sounds expensive). I booked an appointment online ( which was smooth and easy), and was prepared to spend an exorbitant amount of money. Because that is just what I expect when going to an auto repair shop or dealership service center. When my husband and I arrived, the mechanic (I wish I would have gotten his name) at the front desk was very welcoming and friendly. He really listened to understand as I explained my car issue. He immediately knew what could be wrong with my car, took my keys, and asked us to give him about 5-10 minutes. After about 5-7 minutes, he pulled my car around to the front. Hands me my keys, and told me I was all good. My husband asked, "What do we owe you?" He said "nothing!" I was in complete shock! I have never had an experience where I walked away from a car repair shop or dealership without paying something, even for a very minor fix. This seemly small interaction, spoke volumes for us. They just gained customers for life, not just because he didn't attempt to overcharge us, but because he really listened, was honest, and knowledgeable about the simple fix. Absolutely 10/10, would recommend! read more

So this was our third time going to this place. Let me correct, my husband had gone to it before. When i went in today (wed) after i called Monday. At first the guy at window (while he was on phone ) said "you will have to drop the car for whole day. " then he finished his call. Repeated same thing and then said @whats wrong with the car?" I told him. He goes "is it doi g it today?" I said "no". i informed him i am by myself , my husband was not in town...back n forth....he said ok let me look. Literally he was back in 3 mins by my watch and said "your car smells like a dead mouse, i cant drive it. My eyes are watering." His eyes looked fine to me. Then, he yelled at my kid for bouncing on sofa (sitting) before giving me a chance to tell my son to not do it. Or asking me to tell my son to stop. (He could see him, i could not because i was kindda sideways to the couch). Then He says "if u remove your mask, you can smell it." I wore mask inside the store, never in my car. I told him if u don't want to service , don't find excuses. Then he says "when your husband returns, have him bring the car." I said "no thanks. We are not coming to get insulted again." So don't go to this shop if you are a woman. The guy saw me and he did not bother listening. Pretty much insulted me and my son. I would love to see their defense on this. How low will they go ? Very sexist. Condescending guys in there ! I would say maybe racist too, even though i never like to use this word. **** I am editing this in response to owner's reply. ***** Somehow yelp does not allow response to business reply. (Or i cannot figure it out). For the business owner: you have ZERO right to yell at my child. You should have informed me since my back was to him. If i would not hv corrected his behavior, then u have right to yell! You call it kind ? I call it RUDE ! Show the video ........i dare ya and let people decide if it was "kind". There was no customer inside. There were 2 guys at the door......OUTSIDE ! They walked in as i walked out. No one said you are lying. At least i never did. But if u r guilty, be my guest ! Good bye to your prejudiced business.! You have lost a working mom's business. Good luck read more

Part 2 of 2. After checking the electrical systems with the code scanner to find all of the control panels & ecm communicating, indicating no damage, and that there was never any water present within the engine my ability to do further diagnostics was limited at that point. On a Sunday morning I found a mechanic and related my situation. Before having the Audi delivered to his facility met with him to more fully detail the 5 month odyssey of dealing with Nick & Revive's scam job. In appraising the positive commitment & integrity of this mechanic, I had the Audi delivered to his facility. Within 10 minutes of the Audi's arrival, the new mechanic had an engine cover removed to show me exactly where the problem was located & how it would be corrected. After examining the rest of the Audi, he rendered an opinion that the Audi was not damaged in any flood or water damage, but was the result of a well documented & litigated manufactured part defect. This wordy saga was necessary to show that in all probability Nick & Revive never performed any sort of inspection or diagnosisics on the Audi throughout the entirety of the 5 months they held it hostage. That Nick & Revive blatantly lied, deceived, cajoled & misrepresented the status of the car in order to intentionally perpetrate a fraud someone who is a senior citizen! When I refused to submit to Nick & Revive extreme pressure to relinquish the Audi to him as a financial nightmare, he immediately retaliated by calling the Troy Police Department to report the Audi was abandoned on his property to demand that they immediately tow it to their impound lot. The only conclusion that can be made is that Nick & hie Revive Auto Repair use deceptive business practices against their hapless customers, that Nick & Revive intentionally distorts, misrepresents, inflates & conceals the true status of customers' vehicles to unlawfully extort & defraud their customers & that Nick & Revive will use unethical, unscrupulous & immoral tactics to cheat their customers. If you analyze the reviews appearing on Yelp it is curious to see how Nick & Revive scam & rip-off their customers who leave a 1 star review, or a few left glowing 5 star reviews. There is an interesting void of anything in between the 2 extremes! And it should be pointed out that it is relatively easy for an unscrupulous scammer & con man like Nick & his Revive alter ego to falsify some positive reviews in a feeble attempt to counter the real disastrous reviews left by the customers that he & Revive scammed! It will be interesting to do the forensic analysis on the few positive reviews to determine just who & why they took the effort to concoct lies for Nick & his corrupt Revive Auto Repair sham company!!! Stay away from this piece of scamming garbage!!! read more

I went to this shop twice, once in 2014is, and once in 2019. I needed and oil change and an AC recharge. Walking in the front door, immediately met with attitude from the taller Arabic guy. I ask him about the oil that would be used attitude!!! I asked about how the recharge will help my AC and how fast attitude!!! I really don't mind waiting on oil changes, but after about two and half hours, I had to ask what was taking so long. Wonder what happened? GOT ATTITUDE?!! Just take your cash to a respectable shop where they respect their customers. read more

Honest repair shop, Nick & his crew are hands down the best. They were able to beat people price. They were able get my BMW in for a complete suspension service and hands down I am happy they were able to get me in for my service all in the same day.i made my appointment in person drive from Dearborn cause there where highly recommended from the Dealership & from parts company. Check them out they work on all crazy high end and regular cars. They have my business thank you guys. read more

I went in for an oil change and brought my dog with me. My dog is sick, but I cleaned up after him the best I could. When I went to pay for my service, the employees accused me of lying about cleaning up, cursed at me, and wouldn't give me my keys until I went out and cleaned up again. Then the owner lectured me like a child. It was humiliating. I have since posted a review to their Facebook and the staff has continued to harass me in the comments for lying. This is the first and last time I will use this mechanic and I will be telling everyone I know not to go there either. Truly horrible service. The oil change was fine. Edit: The owner has now commented on this page, once again accusing me of lying, and once again lecturing me like a child. Need I say more? The BBB will be hearing from me. read more

Now weeks after the repair, a simple car window motor, the window is not functioning properly and I am going to be forced to have to talk to them again to try to get them to fix their mistake, which I can guarantee Nick will say it wasn't him even though he's been the only person in my door since owning the car. Wish me luck. read more

I came here to get my oil changed and a tire rotation using a Groupon. I didn't know you had to have an appointment but they squeezed me in within a couple days anyway. The service was quick and easy and the employees were very friendly. I would recommend this service to anyone in the area! Make sure to make an appointment if you want scheduled service. read more

Second time here and Revive is the best! The first time they fixed my car same day and the second time they fixed my problem and replaced my car key battery within minutes. I called like 5 times in one day to inquire and they were so patient! Great customer service. I hope to never have a car issue again but if I do I know who to call. read more

I had my Malibu checked by Nick (the owner) for "check engine light on." After the ODB scanning, Nick said that I needed a new timing chain and told me the cost was $1600. That's steep. Nick didn't show me the error code and I was skeptical about how one can tell that the timing chain was loose although he said that the timing was over the event. I then went to O'rielly auto parts and the staff did a free ODB scanning and told me the Camshaft Position Actuators were bad and the cost was $100 for both actuators, with lifetime warranty. After replacing them, the check engine light was off. So, Nick was either dishonest or not knowing cars very well. read more

Revive Auto has amazing customer service! Nick quoted us a great deal to fix a problem on our vehicle. We'll definitely use Revive again!

The staff is not helping and very rude, this happened twice with me because of low price I drove half an hour to the shop after taking appointment one week ago, and after I reached there guy first said you have to wait for 2 to 3 hours, which was also ok for me, but looks like he did not even wanted me there, He after said, go somewhere else I don't have time, come after two days, ....... given the situation I understood there may be work load but this is not the way to treat customer, specially after one of his staff member gave me appointment on that day. if you gave appointment at list try to keep it. otherwise what is the meaning? I was so disappointed, would not recommend it. not worth your time.. read more

Writing this because the only reason I came here was because all of the good reviews I saw. They must all be friends of the workers or something because my experience was very unpleasant. I was in and out of this shop(ubers $$) for nearly 2 weeks due to a noise my car was making. Paid just under $1,000 for them to fix all of the other "problems" my car had, sound was still there. Owner made me feel like I was stupid trying to explain everything to me. I will never come back here it was painful. Car did finally leave this shop quiet though. read more

Nick's service is excellent and at a fair price. He is thorough and explained how things worked with my brakes in a way that makes sense to me. Easy to understand the work to be done. He diagnosed an issue another shop left me with and completed my brake repair in a fast affordable timeframe, with improved performance options that were reasonably priced. I will be returning again for my maintenance or repairs and I see no reason not to expect the same level of service. I place my confidence and trust in the work to be done honestly and fair. read more

I needed my Brakes and Rotors replaced. They slid me in for the next day and got the job done. Highly recommend.

I had a groupon for this shop for a oil change and a tire rotation, the tech gave me back my car without the tire rotation and did not tell me untill I asked, Then I got the deer in the headlight deal then he reschedule me for another date. That was unsettling to me so I called and talked to the manager and he was one of the worst Individual to deal with DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! read more

My A/C went out in my minivan and summer was almost over..but this heat continues so I knew I needed to have it fixed. I actually found Revive on Yelp..they had great review and it was in my area so I went in without even calling first. Both Alberto & Nick were helpful, down to earth and their customer service was fantastic!! Very refreshing. They squeezed me right in to recharge my A/C. It was fast service and great quality at very reasonable price too. Thank you Revive..my van feels great!!!! read more

Since moving here from California, I have definitely had a difficult time finding a reliable and affordable mechanic. Since I am Vietnamese, I even tried to reach out for a mechanic who speaks in my native tongue only to be quoted with exorbitant prices even higher than the dealerships! Called around to dozens of places who want to charge me 25 dollars for an oil change just for labor alone with me providing my own oil and filter. With this said, I think Nick (who is the owner and mechanic I think) is a really stand up guy who quotes you up front (at least with oil changes anyway). It is really hard to find a mechanic who isn't trying to rip you off. He does an oil change with a synthetic blend for 23.99 which is an awesome price. I have also seen this special numerous times on groupon for 17.99. In my case, I bring in my own oil and filter and he does it for 10.00 dollars flat just for labor. Although this is the normal price in California, I think that indeed is an impossible price to find in metro Detroit. If anyone can prove me otherwise please send me a PM! The only negative about this place is it is always packed and difficult to schedule an appointment because this guy is so darn busy. I guess it's because he's honest and that's a rare trait seen in mechanics nowadays. So if you have a lot of work to be done, I do not recommend trying to "walk in" cause that most likely won't work out very well, so call ahead for an appointment. Good luck! read more

What can I say ? I'm so appreciative of Nick and his staff going the extra mile, and the conversation to establish a client base relationship. I've had unacceptable experiences from car dealerships which leaves me on the radar for integrity, care, honesty and most of all peace of mind. A car is important to our livelihood and must be in the right hands. I've been here three times for my oil change and it occurs that they care more for my car by notch up then I do. Thank You revive auto for your greatness. read more

Terrible service. Told me my 20 year old car required synthetic oil and argued with me about it when I said it never had before. They refused to do a regular oil change. Talked me into a $59 synthetic change but when I got home and checked my manual I discovered that I indeed could use either. I called them when I got home to tell them they were mistaken and the guy insisted he was right and used foul language with me (F word). Scammed me out of an extra $42 which hurts because I am a senior on a fixed low income. I will never take my car there again and I suggest you not either. Liars and cheats. read more

non professionalism with limited capability to work on old cars. came it to fix for severval things, work with poor quality y not comittes to deliver it on time. He replaced caburator which was supposed to be new but was damaged and sild it as nrw. they also, replaced the radiator with new version, it got damaged while working and does not accept responsibility. Had to take it to a new shop. the cheap sometimes is more expensive unfortunatelly had a very bad experience and not recommend hin at all. read more

They are not honest! I will never go back. Get quote and check the price especially the parts. They charged me $300 for exhaust muffler ($460 with labor). Shouldn't be more than $100! read more

I gave Revive Auto Repair a try for the first time yesterday and had a great experience, and will most certainly return the next time I need my car serviced. I scheduled an appointment for four new tires, a battery terminal cleaning, and to have a heating problem corrected. I dropped the car off with the owner, Nick, at 8am. He walked me through some tire options, told me I most likely needed an alignment, and what they'd do related to the battery and heating problem. I headed off to work and a couple hours later I received a call from Nick and he explained that my front brake pads and rotors were on their last legs and offered a special price to get them replaced. We discussed the price (very reasonable considering the materials and all the work being performed) and I gave him the OK to proceed. My car was ready around 2 or 3pm, and I picked it up around 4pm. I could not believe how well the car was driving. My vehicle is a 2008 Nissan Xterra, but it was driving like it was brand new again. Before paying and driving off, I actually had a very nice conversation with Nick. It became very clear that he's running a customer satisfaction focused business first, and an auto shop second. I'll definitely be back! read more

Called to schedule an oil change since they require an appointment for the most basic of services. Was told "next week Wednesday, first come- first serve". That is in 9 days, but I was looking to get this 10 minute service completed in the next day or two. When clarified, the guy on the phone was very rude and said he didn't have time till next Wednesday. With their appointments and unfriendly demeanor, I would hate to get any complex repairs done here jeez.. Not to mention "first come-first serve" is not an appointment in the first place! read more

I have had multiple services here on my Jeep Wrangler. I had an excellent experience. I had the transmission replaced on one visit and on another I had the rear main seal replaced, differentials flushed, and also the transfer case flushed. The mechanics here are extremely knowledgeable, up front, and honest. The last visit I had, they were able to get me in and out in a timely manner and went above and beyond to ensure I could get my daily driver back on the road. I would not hesitate to recommend this place or bring my vehicles here. read more

I would definitely come here again! I came to get my headlights cleaned because they were so dirty my lights looked dim. Kasim made sure my car was washed and even replaced my bulb for $15! It saved me a trip to the shop that I had to make tomorrow. The service is awesome! read more

Who doesn't dread having to take their car in for repairs, and worry about being overcharged-- or worse, have the shop find imaginary things wrong with your car that cost a fortune? I just started working in Birmingham, and was looking for a reputable shop in Oakland County to take my Jeep for a tune up and maintenance repairs. Based on Yelp reviews, I went online and made an appointment with Revive. Almost immediately received a phone call from Nick, who set up an appointment for me, and quoted an estimate for my repairs. Revive not only did what they said that they were going to do, but they did MORE than I expected for the price. Revive completed maintenance that the dealer should have been completing when I was taking the Jeep in for oil changes over the past 2 years. They completed the Repairs in a timely way, and gave me an accurate ETA on when I could expect to pick up the car. My car feels like it runs better than it did when it was new. I got a very fair price for good, timely work from a friendly, reliable shop. I will be recommending Revive to anyone who asks, and will be a long time, repeat customer. read more

First time here , for oil change. Read a lot good reviews. My experience was great professionals working hard , going the extra distance... Put my 1996 4Runner on a lift.!! to give good thorough check that alone says alot. Semi synthetic Castrol oil. $23.99. check all the fluids and everything else can't beat that. The owner Nick and his crew are outstanding ,definitely be coming back ! read more

One day while driving our old station wagon to move some belongings, the emergency brake would not release. It was Saturday morning and it was an emergency. Driving down Maple, I saw that Revive was open so we pulled in and expected the worst. We were happily surprised when the problem was fixed within five minutes. When we asked how much the charge was, Nick just said, "remember to bring your car back here when you need service". Since that time, Revive has been our repair shop. Nick has performed great work and it is always at a fair price. Revive is a great shop. (And the car wash next door was really great too! New equipment and friendly staff.) read more

My car needed a lot of suspension work and the dealership quoted me $3,000. After researching other mechanics (online), I contacted Nick and he quoted a price that was a bit less than what the dealership wanted...so I took it in. He had the car for about four days. When I got it back the wheels hissed, when I turned, for about two days and the interior of my car was dirty with oil. I didn't mind cleaning the car because of the great price...and like I mentioned, the hissing disappeared. Then after about three weeks, I kept hearing a clunking sound from the back when I made left turns as well as a high pitched moaning sound from under the hood. I took the car back. Nick inspected the car and said that everything looked good. He suspected that the clunking sound was coming from the spare tire mount. As for the high pitched moaning noise...it was the alternator! :-( The reason the I am giving this business four stars is because I think that Nick is actually a reasonable and honest mechanic. The missing star is for the oil that I had to clean up after spending almost 2K. If I could...I would have given him another .5 star because he thought that I asked him to change my oil but he didn't charge me when I brought it to his attention. Overall, I think that this is a good place to bring your car. Finding a reputable mechanic these days is difficult and I think that I found one. I will, however, update my post if I run into any problems with the work that he performed. Fingers crossed. (4.5 stars) read more

When you want something to last, you take care of it. When you take care of it, you take it to someone who cares. Took my wife's car here for an issue, and Nick efficiently diagnosed it, promptly repaired it, and at a fair price. Nick is very honest and knowledgeable and it shows. The place is unassuming from the outside, but they are definitely doing good work in here. In a time where it's hard to trust someone when they could take advantage of you, it's relieving to know that there is a place like this. read more

Revive auto has the best mechanics I've ever dealt with. Usually when I come in I deal with the owner nick, but this time around he was not in. His workers take care of you the same way he would. Great hospitality. They're great at making everything work and keeping cost low. I recommend all my friends to come here. Best shop in town! read more

The 'owner' screamed at me because I wanted to use my Groupon and he said I needed an appt to use Groupon for oil change. I showed him the coupon where it states its recommended but not necessary and he got extremely angry and started yelling at me!!! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Fantastic customer service and extremely skilled technicians. Nick and his staff are conscientious, honest and reliable. Work is top quality, and repairs are done right the first time. Their prices are fair and they never push you to purchase a service that you don't need. Will definitely revisit the shop if I require any future auto repairs. read more

Dishonest. And incompetent. Had my car towed in with what was probably a leak in the clutch hydraulics. They told me I needed a new clutch. Maybe, although I hadn't previously had any clutch problems. Then they said I also needed a new transmission. Maybe, although I hadn't previously had any transmission problems. They said they found a really good deal on a salvage transmission--$900. Two weeks and $2600 later I had my car back, but it didn't feel right. They bled the system again and assured me it was fine. So I went on my long-planned vacation trip. Got to Montana and the car broke down. Shop there said "you need a new transmission." Turns out Revive didn't actually replace the transmission--they just contracted with a transmission shop to replace the transmission housing, and when they put the old transmission parts back inside, they screwed it up. There were needle bearings loose inside the housing. The Montana shop also quoted $900 for a transmission--but that was actually a transmission, and they actually installed it correctly. Of course, I was out the $2600, plus another $1900 in Montana, plus hotel, rental car, and loss of my vacation. read more

I purchased the Synthetic Blend Oil Change , Tire Rotation and Vehicle Inspection on line. The guy who checked me in charged me additional for an oil filter, disposal fees and taxes on top of what I paid on the website. Once the oil was changed he didn't want to rotate the tires. I insisted that they be rotated. He had oil changer pull my car to another building to do the tires rotation. They did not ask for the key for the wheel locks. When I got my car back once the tires were rotated the driver's seat was broken and the car made a strange loud humming sound when I left. I wasn't sure what the sound was. After a few days of driving with the humming noise, I had the vehicle inspected at another facility. Two of the wheel bearing hubs on my car were damaged by the way the tires were taken off for the rotation. The cost to repair the damage on the wheel bearings was $775.00. I haven't had the seat repaired as of yet. While the oil changer was destroying my vehicle, the guy up at the desk was checking other customers in. I could hear him saying that owner's manuals and engineers were all full of s..it, since everyone no matter what type of car they drive should use premium gasoline for better gasoline mileage. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND STAYING FAR AWAY FROM REVIVE AUTO REPAIR. read more

Superb service great people 100% positive and stress free environment. Highly recommended auto repair shop here in Michigan. Don't hesitate to come here VERIFIED! read more

Great & fast service! I just walked in to get an oil change- I was way overdue- they serviced me right away and they were closing soon so I'm glad they accommodated me. Also offered their Groupon rate since I was a new customer! Great service read more

I took my car into my regular shop, and when I got it back it had more problems than when I took it in, so I decided it was time to find another shop. First I read Yelp's reviews of auto repair shops in my area. Most of the reviews for Revive Auto Repair are favorable to highly favorable. My review will be the same. There are a couple of bad reviews here. Everyone has bad days, but I can't imagine Nick yelling at a customer, as someone here says he did, even on his worst day. Neither can I imagine Nick refusing to honor a GroupOn, as someone else here says he did. There's a form on Revive's website that you can use to schedule an appointment, and on that form there's a place to list a GroupOn, so obviously Nick honors GroupOns. Maybe I was treated well because I went to Revive's website first and filled out their form to schedule an appointment and describe my problem before I brought my car in, so they were prepared for me. I'm glad I did, because their website says Revive belongs to Michigan's Low Income Auto Repair Program. I'm a retiree, living on Social Security, so I filled out the application form for that program as well. When I arrived the next day, Nick told me it takes two weeks for someone to be approved for the low income program. I said I didn't feel safe driving my car for another two weeks, so Nick said he would do the repairs anyway, at the low income discount price. While I was waiting, I got into a conversation with another customer. He said he owns a Volkswagen Passat (Nick does a lot of Volkswagen work) and he drives all the way from Richmond to have Nick work on his car. He sounded like a commercial for Revive, and for Nick. My car was ready in an hour, just as Nick promised, and it runs better now than it has in a long time. I wish I had gone to Revive sooner. read more
