I had called them and made an appointment to get my front brakes done. The day of the appointment I…read moredropped off the car and went to work. When they called they said both front and rear needed replacement, which I suspected, but I told them I only wanted the front done because I couldn't afford both and the front are more important. I picked up the car after the shop was closed and discovered they had completely disregarded what I had asked them to do and replaced the rear brakes. I called to complain and the manager told me they did what they thought was more important and what I asked for didn't matter. Never again.

I was involved in a collision in January and was referred to Olsen's because they supposedly…read moreoffered loaner vehicles. My car became undrivable before their loaner was available, so I had to bring it in early. At drop-off, I spoke with Mary Jean, who agreed over the phone that I could pay the repair balance in installments since I needed to use my savings to purchase a temporary beater car. Based on that agreement, I went ahead and bought an inexpensive vehicle and waited for the repairs. Once the work was completed, the entire agreement was suddenly denied. I was then contacted by Deb, who immediately began pressuring me to either pay the full balance upfront or sell my car to them at an extremely low and unrealistic price. When I refused, she informed me they would start charging $100 per month just to keep my repaired vehicle on the lot--something never disclosed in advance. She repeatedly referenced a supposed "normal" rate of $100 per day as if it were a threat, even though none of this was part of the original conversation with Mary Jean. The behavior felt strategic and manipulative, designed to corner me into selling them my car. When I arrived with the $2,000 I had borrowed from a friend, the visible shock on Deb's face said everything--she clearly expected I'd have no choice but to give in. The entire situation made me feel like they were taking advantage of someone they assumed couldn't push back. The store manager refused to speak with me by phone and insisted on email only, adding to the frustration. Throughout the ordeal, I received dismissive remarks, including being told I "couldn't be trusted" to pay--even though their last-minute changes were the only reason the situation escalated. I genuinely cannot understand how a business operates this way and stays open. Between the shifting terms, undisclosed fees, pressure tactics, and lack of basic professionalism, this was one of the worst experiences I've had with any repair shop. I would strongly advise others to avoid Olsen's entirely.

New Garfield Auto performed a complete brake job on our van…read more1.5 years ago (21,000 miles). They replaced calipers with rebuilt ones (why not replace with new calipers??)in which one caliper failed and caused premature wear on the pads and rotors. The pads were worn down to the metal forcing us to need another complete brake job on the rear brakes again (in 21,000 miles). They also did not properly run the brake lines or bleed them correctly. We attempted to work with Garfield Auto to come to a resolution but they were not interested in helping us. Very poor customer service and poor workmanship. I highly advise avoiding this Auto service center.

My wife took our Jeep Commander in for some front end work recently. They did do a good job on the…read morerepairs and it was relatively inexpensive, but it was their putting everything back together that has me extremely t'd off right now. When the tires were put back on the lug nuts were tightened down so tight that they were nearly impossible to get off. Actually, one is so stripped I'm going to have to take it to A DIFFERENT SHOP to get removed. They obviously used the air ratchet to torque the bolts down. How do I know this, because I'm a 215lb adult male who had to stand on the freaking lug wrench and bounce to get them to turn ever so slightly. I shouldn't have to stand on the freaking lug wrench and bounce to get them to turn, I should simply be able to use arm muscle and body weight alone to remove the lug nut. What if my wife were had a flat in the middle of a no-cell reception area and had to remove the tire herself? She wouldn't have been able to that's for damned sure, and she should be able. Over tightening lug nuts can strip bolts, weaken the threads which can cause the wheel to come loose or off, or warp the brake rotor causing brake failure. All of which I'm sure Garfield Auto Center knows, but I mean we were a customer right, maybe what they do know they think that we don't know, maybe they think we will take our vehicle in for them to fix when this happens. I won't. My wife won't, again. And I'm hoping this review will cause you to think before you go to them. Maybe I should give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was a new guy working on the Jeep, maybe they were in a hurry to get to lunch or end their day and just used the air gun. Well, maybe my wife was taking my children to Grand Rapids for the day and lost a tire on US131 doing 75MPH. My families safety is more important than their excuse. I won't be back, and I won't recommend them to my friends, family, coworkers, or even my worst enemies.

As…read morea first-time customer, I was hoping to get a general idea of the cost for the repair, including an estimate for parts and labor. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't very welcoming. I was told they don't provide quotes unless the vehicle is in the shop by appointment. When I explained that my Jeep was already there, I was still met with a dismissive response. I also asked for a rough estimate on the cost of the parts and was told they couldn't provide any information, only that labor was around $150 per hour. I completely understand that every repair is different and that an exact quote may require an inspection. My disappointment wasn't with their policy, it was with the way I was treated. The interaction felt abrupt, unfriendly, and lacking the customer service I would expect from a business trying to earn a new customer's trust. A little kindness and professionalism go a long way. Even if the answer couldn't change, a more courteous approach would have left a much better impression.

We were on our way back home to Chicago from a short stay in Traverse City when our Honda Odyssey's…read morebattery light/warning came on. We took our vehicle to the nearest auto repair and they confirmed it was an issue with the alternator and at the current rate, we wouldn't make it back home without repairing it. Although helpful, they unfortunately could not service our vehicle due to being short staffed. Knowing this was an alternator issue we called several other auto repair businesses (including a Honda dealership) and no one had any availability until the following week; it was currently Wednesday. Losing hope and already thinking of alternative ways to get home we called Traverse City Public Service Garage (TCPSG) and they luckily had someone available to re-diagnose and potentially service our vehicle (it was about 1pm at this time). Upon arrival they were able to verify the issue, order the faulty part from one of their local suppliers, have it delivered, and installed it in about 4 hours or so. While there was an element of luck that came into play (available mechanic, supplier with the part, time of day, etc.), the service we received was both friendly and fair all things considered. The good folks at TCPSG got our vehicle back up and running and we ultimately got back home later that evening safely and in one piece. From me and my family, thank you Traverse City Public Service Garage for your hospitality and quality service.
