A+!!!! Outstanding throughout!Replacing the DPF differential pressure sensor did the trick. Running like a top. Engine check light off. The unnamed dealership in town said it could not be fixed...and Stadium Auto made the correct diagnosis and fixed it.Superb communication throughout the entire process. I'm never taking my 2007 MB 320 CDI anywhere else... even for an oil change!Services: Auto exhaust system repair

Expensive parts and labor costs, I paid the price of the original genuine parts but received low-quality parts. I can understand 90 dollars air filter labor cost + 35 dollars part is necessary to make money in business. But do not put a deformed air filter on my car. Finally, I replaced it by myself, and the oil was not fully filled. Afterwards, I had to add the engine oil by myself. Overall, the cost-effectiveness is too low, so go to the dealer is better.

I had a great experience at Stadium Auto. The final bill was much less than the estimate! How often does that happen? Almost never. They also finished the work in two days. Staff were polite, friendly and informative. They saved the damaged parts to show me. I would highly recommend them to others.Service: Auto A/C replacement

On a road trip through Michigan our brake caliper locked. We got towed to Stadium Auto Service that evening and were treated very well the next day. Jim was very easy to talk to and knowledgeable! Within an hour of opening they had diagnosed our problem, quoted me a fair price, and even provided pictures and descriptions of the issue. Our car was fixed by 4:00pm. Thank you Stadium Auto Service!Service: Brakes

Beware of these sharks who claim to be experts in import cars, but do not have the expertise to diagnose. My daughter took her BMW 535xi 2008 for a transmission fault message diagnosis (limp mode). They sent us their diagnosis report showing the need to have the transmission oil pan and oil replaced for $1,400, with the possibility of having to replace the transmission if the problem is not solved. I, the parent living in Illinois, called and discussed the matter with Jim, who said they have to go through this first step of replacing the oil pan and oil; I hesitantly agreed, as I am far away and did not wish to have the car towed to Illinois to my mechanic who specializes in European cars. And my daughter needed the car, and so I approved the job for $1400. Then, I watched the YouTube on the replacement of the oil pan and oil, and I was shocked how straightforward and small a job this was, about 11/2 hour max; $100 oil and $150 oil pan. So I dropped my jaw knowing that I just approved a $1,400 job. I called my mechanic, and he told me it was a $500 job. So, I figured I needed an unbiased party and got two other estimates, and also researched national cost for this job, which turned out to be $400-$600. This was a far cry from $1,400 Stadium Auto quoted me. Being busy at work, and my daughter graduating in 10 days, I figured I will stick with my decision and let Stadium auto finish the job. They got back with me and reported that the transmission oil pan did not show any metal shavings, which meant that the transmission mechanical parts are intact. However, they said they still got the same diagnostic code, which meant something else is causing the problem, and that they had to send the diagnostic code to SOMEONE somewhere to figure out what was wrong with the transmission ( I thought they were the experts as they boast, and they just charged me $1,400, and their guess did not pan out). Fast forward, they got back with me saying they WERE TOLD that there is a valve inside the transmission that they needed to check for malfunction; guess what! they asked for an additional $900 to drain the transmission oil, remove the oil pan and check the valve! Now maybe I am wrong, but would you not think that they should have checked the valve once they had the oil pan off the first time!!! Now they want another $900, and there is no guarantee that the valve is the faulty component. They figured I am stuck and under their mercy being in Illinois, and my daughter without a car in Ann Arbor, and so another chance to make another quick $900 on top of the highway robbery of $1400 for a $500 job. And they told me if it were not the valve then a new transmission for $10K, and a used one would not do!!!! contrary to every other mechanic's opinion. When I refused to take their bait for $900, Jim, the soft spoken cool guy, said he will prepare my bill, and it will ~$1,200!! Wow he actually gave me a $200 discount. This is like someone stealing your wallet full of cash and goodies, and giving you back $200 out of sympathy. I read a few reviews on you Jim, and yes you are not only sharks, but also without experience or knowhow. When my daughter went to pick up the car, they would not let her test it thinking she might drive off without paying!! Wow...that says a lot. Jim: we are not like you; we do not steal peoples' hard earned money, and of course this money she paid you today was not all hard earned by you; half of it was stolen. Remember Jim, you tried to steer me into replacing the transmission for $10K from the get go before knowing what the problem was. And you jumped into looking for a transmission. Does that not give you away!!You know that it does not cost more than $5K for transmission replacement, and yes you can install a used good condition one, but $10K sounds a lot better to you. Good luck, and now we know. I am having my car towed to my hometown and repaired by people who are not greedy sharks like you.

I love the transparency and they really do feel honest about the work that they do. Is there anything else you really want out of your mechanic? I was having trouble with overheating and I sent in my car for a check up for their service. They send a list of everything they check the status of what they think it is in a green yellow red format and they also include pictures of everything they've done. I also love that they have a texting service so if you find that more convenient for communication really works out, very friendly and very patient. I'm definitely coming back here again.

I can't say enough about how awesome this team is! My car had standing water under the carpet of the passenger side cabin, soaking all of the foam and creating risk in the subfloor electrical electrical system. They had to pull out the seat and the carpet to make sure we could dry the car properly. They were creative, friendly and efficient - They worked out a great solution that I could afford. They have won my trust and all of my future business. I highly recommend them! I wish I found them years ago.

I had to get my steering fixed after a few months in the snow. I love the comprehensive report that they give on all the repairs on the car. They were fairly priced and were able to answer my questions. My car was fixed in a day!

I was looking for a place to get my vehicle serviced versus the dealer. I decided on this place after reading reviews. It is a small shop located in Ann Arbor. I texted and set up an appointment. I needed an oil change and to have a button fixed. Upon arrival I was greeted quickly and waited for my vehicle. They finished my vehicle quickly at a reasonable price. I wanted some light bulbs changed out to LED and they weren't sure that they did that. The staff was friendly and courteous. I will use this location in the future.
