Auto Repair for Livonia, MI
Livonia customers generally find us the same way: a dealership quote that made them want a second opinion on a job worth several thousand dollars.
On those, the diagnosis is the whole thing. A transmission that is genuinely finished and a transmission with a failed solenoid feel identical from the driver's seat and differ enormously in price. Same with a timing chain versus an engine, or a converter versus the sensor that made the converter code appear. We test to find out which one it is, then quote what we found.
You get the reasoning in writing, and you approve the number before anything happens.

- Independent pricing on dealer-level work
- Engine, timing, transmission and electrical diagnosis all happen in house. Nothing gets subcontracted and marked up on the way through, which is where a lot of the gap between an independent and a dealership quote comes from.
- Bring the paperwork
- If another shop has already quoted the job, bring the estimate. Going through it line by line is the fastest way to find out whether you are being quoted for the actual fault or for a list of everything the scan tool mentioned.
