Review №1

I had some work done at Automotive Techniques in the past and the quality of work was as expected but the wait times and responsivness have been pretty poor. Recently, a couple of times they didnt even return my phone calls. For the last service I quoted, the price was the same as I eventually paid at the dealer with the difference that the dealer completed the job within three days and Automotive Techniques quoted a two-week wait. I wont be going back.

My wife took her car here on a recommendation. When we dropped the car off we were greeted by a friendly smile by one of the technicians, Dave.He was honest and very detailed with the information he gave us before we dropped the car off for service..He gave us some great nuggets of information on our vehicle that proved to be not only helpful but true money savers.They were able to take care of our car quickly, which was an oil change and the issue we had with acceleration problems.This is an auto repair place that you definitely want to add to your personal list of places to visit for your car. We are completely pleased with the service we received

I have been going to Automotive Techniques for years. Extremely honest and capable. The best repair and maintenance service for European cars in Michigan. And they are extremely honest. Whatever they recommend, you can be sure you are getting great advice and great service. Jeff, Dave and their team are the best.

Great product knowledge and capability to diagnose and repair in reasonable amount of time and cost.Very trustworthy with long history of service in the region.

I called about bringing in a used car for an inspection and was able to get in immediately. The team spent about an hour with the car and were able to identify a few small issues (even though it was “inspected” by the dealership) which I was able to use for negotiating a good price. Overall I was assured it was a good car despite the few minor flaws. So far so good! Thanks David!

Great place as an alternative to the dealer, very honest pricing and good quality work. Dave is always very helpful and his estimates are very good. Definitely my go to place for my Audis. They do wheel balancing at better tolerance than the tire stores and also have a nice alignment machine. If you actually care about the details of your cars servicing, this is the place to come to.

Real car guys indeed. Jeff is fantastic. They have been my Porsche mechanics for many years now and I have never been let down. From simple annual inspections and oil changes to pulling the engine and transmission, replacing my clutch and much more! I wouldnt trust my 30 year old 911 to anyone else.

Automotive Techniques has done extensive work on my BMW 650i Gran Coupe, and my Jeep Wrangler. From cosmetic accessories, to maintenance and installing aftermarket performance parts. Let me just say that Dave(manager), Jeff(owner), and the rest of their crew have always gone above and beyond to make every job successful and Tom make me happy. I highly recommend them to anyone in the area who wants a professional job done right, and timely. 5 stars! Check them out!!

Incredible Porsche knowledge, coupled with a real interest in sharing the passion and fun of these cars; Jeff Jones and his team are simply the finest independent service shop in Michigan. Their work is incredible and, most important, you can trust them. Jeff has rebuilt my 911 engine, done corner balance and suspension work, etc. His prices are fair and he cares about you, his customers. Working with these guys is a fantastic experience. It doesnt get any better than this.

Automotive Techniques took care of me when my car broke down, getting me back on the road safely. They went over and above to make that happen for which I will always be grateful.

I have been taking my cars here for years. The service techs are the best in the business and the owner Jeff is hands down the nicest guy in the industry. Dave the service writer is as helpful as they come. I can’t say enough nice things about them. Highly recommended!

Review №21

Brought my Macan Turbo for an oil change for the first time, heard that they focus on Porsche vehicles. I requested 0W40 oil but the receipt says 5W40 after the service. I called back and left a message to Dave but never heard back. I called back again few days later, Dave said that 0W40 oil was used and argued that 5W40 is better. I just wanted to know the type of oil is installed because it can affect the performance and winter condition. I had to schedule this oil change service a month ahead and they charged $120 on labor. I think they may be good for their existing customers only.

They break all the stereotypes for mechanics. The owner, Jeff, is there everyday and genuinely wants the best for each customer and their car. They will not to sell you something you dont need or would be in the best interest for your car. I got my car back and it was vacuumed and washed. What other repair shop will do that?!?!Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Review №24

I had Automotive Techniques perform a PPI on an 87 Porsche 944 that I was purchasing from out of state. Despite being booked for weeks in advance, they managed to slip the car in within a week. They even fixed a vacuum leak while they were at it!An associate of mine who restores old Porsches as a hobby looked over the report and was impressed by their thoroughness. All in all, I am very pleased with my decision to use Automotive Techniques.

When i walked in with my Porsche 930 and saw the younger looking guy at the counter i thought to myself Oh no, what kinda shop did i come to. After Dave introduced himself and we did the paperwork for an oil change he took me around back to look at some other projects he had in the bays. I saw Porsches from top to bottom. Everything about this place and the employees screamed Real Car Guys. Dave and i went outside to go over the car and when i started it he asked me about a ticking noise he heard and i responded with Its been there since before you were born. He asked when the last time i had a valve adjustment was and went in to grab Jeff the owner. Jeff and Dave came out and both sold me on a valve adjustment.When i picked the car up it was freshly hand washed and i could tell Dave made sure there were no grease stains on my carpet like i expected there to be. I Instantly started it up and heard NOTHING. No more tick! After 15+ YEARS! I finally can say, after going to the normal independant shops like Munks and Gilsons that i have found My Mechanic. Dave and the whole crew at Automotive Techniques were great. The shop was extremely clean, especially for being so busy. The work so far is excellent. They can expect many more visits from me.

At 5pm on a Friday a radiator hose on my Mitsubishi Spyder burst while driving down Grand River. I had pulled into the nearest parking lot to call for a tow truck when a young man, Dave Dehnke, drove up, popped the hood and diagnosed the problem. He told me to call down the street to OReillys and have them deliver the part, then had me drive around to the back of the building. Turns out Id broken down right in front of Automotive Techniques. OReillys delivered the part within a 1/2 hr which gave me time to take a look at some of the amazing cars in the shop and talk with the guys working on them. When the part was delivered Dave fixed it immediately and I was on my way. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place offering honest, quality service by people who go above and beyond to help.
