“The process was simple and straightforward. I dropped off my keys in the designated box in the short-term parking lobby and they took it from there. When I returned five days later, I received a text with the box number and code to retrieve my keys along with the location of my car in short-term parking. My car has never looked better. The exterior and interior were spotless. Anything I had left in the car was bagged and securely stowed in the trunk. I couldn’t have expected any better service. And I saved money on parking! I highly recommend the service and will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Extremely happy with the service at Riverbend Body Shop. They were very professional, communication throughout the process was excellent. They assisted with the claim and rental vehicle. Top notch all around!!”
“Knowledgeable, value customers and your business. Trustworthy. Was quoted $3,600 on a timing belt issue from Honda dealership and Ervines fixed it for $400. What more can I say.”
“I work for a local car dealership and this is my go-to place for hitches. Great service and very knowledgeable people! And their turnaround time is super fast! 10/10 recommend!”
“I received three estimates on my car, the reason I chose Rodenhouse was how kind, friendly, and knowledgeable they were- plus the pricing was very fair and my car was done in less than 3 days. I highly recommend them for body shop work.”
“I’ve always recommended Russ’s Service Garage to friends and family—not just because I designed their website and help with their social media—but because they continue to earn that praise, time and time again.
Today was another great example: two other shops worked on my car recently, but only Russ’s caught that the sway bar link nuts were loose—something that was causing a lot of noise every time I hit a bump. They diagnosed it quickly, explained everything clearly, and had it fixed fast.
What I appreciate most is how knowledgeable, fair, and affordable they are. They don’t upsell, they don’t guess, and if your car needs more TLC, they’ll even give you a helpful “Honey-Do List” of things to watch or plan for.
This garage has been in the same Grand Rapids location since 1928, and they’ve earned their reputation. I wouldn’t keep bragging about them if they didn’t back it up with real-deal service.

I always brag about Russ’s Service Garage—not just because I designed their website and handle their social media—but because they consistently earn that praise.
Today sealed the deal again: two other shops had worked on my car, but only Russ’s caught that the sway bar link nuts were loose—the cause of all that clunky noise every time I hit a bump.
They diagnosed it fast, fixed it right, and—as always—treated me fairly.
They’re knowledgeable, honest, and affordable, and if your car needs a little extra love, they’ll even give you a “Honey-Do List” to help plan ahead.
This crew has been wrenching in Grand Rapids since 1928 and still crushes it.
Friendly, certified, neighborhood mechanics in the big blue building? Yes, please.
They keep my car running smoother than my coffee machine.
10/10 would bump over a pothole again just to hear… nothing.

“Beth Dykhouse is our goto when getting a new car. Fast service. On our 5th or 6th car from her. No wonder she's always a top sales person. The best service.”
“Outstanding service and guidance from Steve, Matt, and the team at Legacy! We had some overdue engine services for our Honda Pilot and the guys gave us a clear, fair assessment of what we needed at a competitive price - we called some other shops to confirm. They also discovered our battery was nearly dead, which was causing other issues. Best of all, they were able to get everything diagnosed and fixed the same day so we didn't have to go without a vehicle. Our car is running great and we're reassured by their 3 year/36,000 mile parts/service guarantee. Thanks, Legacy!”
“Time for routine mileage check, but it was also time for tires. Corrin (? spelling) took great care, got us in and out, same day, and a loaner, too. Thank you❗️”
“Absolutely outstanding customer service at kool, I worked with Presley, he got me in my dream truck and the process was unbelievably smooth. Really awesome guy, and the rest of the staff was inviting as well!”
“I had a really great experience working with Koenes, specifically Ben Redick. I got in a fender bender that ended up being more involved than I originally thought. It's a stressful experience to deal with having your car repaired but Ben was prompt with communication and gave me a lot of info during the process. I would definitely recommend Koenes if you need repairs.”
“Had to take my 2018 Dodge Journey in for an alignment and brake repair. Was very happy with the attention and promptness of their service. Would recommend their service to anyone. Thank you Meineke staff!!!”
“Got oil change & they did inspection needed a couple things. I said would talk to wife & get back with them. Came back next morning told them would do brakes & tires. Asked about availability & they got me in that day. Even gave me a ride back home because would take most of day for repairs. Had good experience with them through the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone. I will be back in the future for oil change & any other repairs might need”
“Aleman Auto Repair did a fantastic job with my car door replacement. The dealership quote was 3 times more expensive than Aleman, and had 6 week wait. Aleman replaced my door within 2 days - amazing!”
“We have been going to Housekamp's Auto Services for years! We are very satisfied with how they handle our vehicles and are very grateful their services are always priced reasonably.”
“Only place in town able to source and replace the whole rear axle + brake shoe system quickly after an accident, took care of any issues I had. Honest, fair, and hardworking guys.”
“I am new to the area. someone hit my car on a parking lot leaving a huge dent on the drivers side door and bumper . After first taking my car to a Volvo recommended body shop who gave me an outrageous estimate, I found Jose Morales whose estimate was more in line with the repair needing to be done. My car looks like new. I can’t say enough about this body shop. I highly recommend Jose and his team”
“I drive a 2011 Impala that had bad front end damage. These guys are the best. I picked my car up and it looked like brand new and was sparkling clean inside and out. I highly recommend Car Center .”
“Very professional, outstanding service. Took the car in for exhaust y pipe, then added change the rotors and pads, and had front end noise, wheel bearing.
They did an outstanding job, I drive truck, they even delivered it so the girlfriend wouldn't have to ride bike..
Highly recommended, thank you Rick and Jeff”

“They worked on my son's car, after he was rear-ended. They were professional and able to get the job done quickly. One part isn't available, backorder, but the car could be driven until the part comes in. Worked seamlessly with insurance.”
“had an excellent experience. The staff was incredibly professional and efficient. They completed the oil change in under 15 minutes, and I didn’t even have to leave my car! The technicians were knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything they were doing. They also performed a quick inspection of my vehicle, which was a nice bonus. Overall, I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a quick and reliable oil change service.”
“Our car broke down in the middle of a 3 hour trip. Christian Brothers in Plainfield Michigan was the nearest repair shop. Professional, fast, and reasonably priced, they had us back on the road in thirty minutes. My wife and I are very thankful.”
“I recently contacted Real Pro Auto and was impressed by how polite and professional the staff were. They took the time to answer all of my questions about booking an appointment and seemed very knowledgeable about their services. You can tell they know what they’re doing and take pride in their work.
That said, I did get the sense that—like many other repair shops—the business is heavily focused on maximizing revenue. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re looking for a more customer-first, budget-conscious experience.
Overall, Real Pro Auto comes across as a competent, courteous, and professional team. If you value expertise and clear communication, they’re worth checking out.”
“Mason street garage was very PROFESSIONAL, HONEST AND FRIENDLY!!
I came to them for a 2nd opinion on my car. They gave me answers without hesitation, guided me in the right direction and answered all my questions.
I will definitely being doing all my future repairs through them.”
“True customer service and professionalism!
When I stopped by to inquire about a touch up paint job on my car and how much it would set me back, I had no idea that the service I would receive would totally blow me away. Jay looked at my car and asked me a few questions, then went into the shop and returned with a buffer and some compound, wheeled out the area where the damage was and then asked me how it looked. Totally amazed by his knowledge and lack of mine, I said that looks great, how much do I owe you. He said that I owed him nothing and that he was happy that he could help. These people are honest professionals and worth checking out. Our experience may differ but I'm certain you will be pleased by stopping by and letting the guys have a look. Ron F.”
“Locally owned, properly staffed (at least 4 different people working on my car), efficient, knowledgeable employees, and you could just tell they cared about giving you great service. Hands down the best oil change experience I’ve ever had. Spread the word about this place and support local businesses!!!”
“I took a vehicle in for a pre- purchase inspection. Unfortunately, the vehicle had some issues that were beyond what I was willing to take on. I appreciated the very honest report and guidance. If I'm ever in the GR area again, Ill definitely come back to ridgeview for their opinion.”
“O'Neill'S Body Shop did a GREAT job repairing my Van and in a very quick and timely matter. Owner Scott and staff are very attentive and professional in handling my repair issues. Also, have gone to O'Neill's Body Shop for many years. Best in our area!”
“I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. These dudes were amazing. They were completely honest and up front and didn't try to upcharge me at all. Last time I went to penzoil and they insisted I needed full synthetic and it was so expensive for no reason. Performance plus didn't lie to me about that and it was so much more affordable for me. I also needed 5 new bulbs in my top brake light and they gave me a huge discount for that as well. They prioritize customer service over money which is rare these days. I've been trying to find a good place in the GR area for oil changes but could never find a good trustworthy place. I will be back and plan to go here for all future oil changes. I highly recommend them especially if you're a female that doesn't know much about cars. You won't get scammed like a lot of other places. They're good trustworthy people.”
“Chris Schutz was a pleasure to work with and helped me get a vehicle. He was very understanding and did everything he could to help me get back on the road. I will definitely come back when it's time to purchase another vehicle. Thank you again for everything Chris Schutz”
