Ann Arbor Transmission, owner Ron Kern if you ever need trams work. He's a family man and a GREAT person who does an excellent job!

What type of car? I agree with John Sprentall, Japanese auto is the way to go if you have a foreign vehicle. They were not only reasonably priced but when I took my older vehicle there they didn't "overdo" what they needed to do on my car. They gave me a list and helped me decide which items to fix based on my budget and the priorities of the vehicle.

Steve Steeb on Industrial. Reasonable, honest, and does excellent work,

I found a great hair charity located right here in Michigan just south of Detroit, it's called Children With Hair Loss, they take as little as 8 inches. http://www.childrenwithhairloss.us/

My husband Bryan is a mechanic at Main Street Motors on Main and Depot downtown A2. It's a great shop. Obviously I'm biased, but they just received Most Trustworthy shop in the 2013 Current Magazine Reader's Choice, so I'm not alone.:)

Made it to E Lansing. Will follow up on phone calls in the morning to see if it is indeed the transmission or not. Here's the thing about my car. I had her for the past 230,000 miles. Might be time to let her go, but cant stand the thought of having a monthly car payment. Ugh. This day has been the worst of the year.

Ron's garage is fantastic, the Ann Arbor townies love his shop.

So I've heard great things about Malek's on Jackson as well as Japanese auto on main street (if he has a Japanese car).

Quality Auto in Ypsi has worked on to of our cars and I've always been happy with them. They even did a surprise free oil change once. I came by to pick it up and they said "don't worry about it". Made that shitty weekend feel a bit better.

I always go to [Pro Auto Techs](http://www.proautotechs.com). Clear assessments, no upselling. You can talk straight about what repairs are necessary.

Late responding, but I like A2 Auto Center at Packard and Stadium. It doesn't look like much - it's in a Citgo gas station. However, the owner Majed is the only mechanic ever to not automatically treat me like an idiot because I'm a woman. He does good work, his prices are fair, and he's an honest man. I'd highly recommend him and the shop.

Broadway Auto is just great. They fixed out a sensor issue on my Hyundai which another shop in A2 couldn't figure out. They're walkable from campus (esp. hospital) which is why I checked them out in the first place.

I've gone to Auto Tech Center the last couple of times I've needed to take my car in. Don't have anything to complain about and will likely use them again in the future when needed. They seem genuine and randomly sent me a Sweetwaters gift card a couple weeks after my service. http://www.auto-tech.us

We've had good experiences at Ann Arbor Transmission on carpenter. Definitely don't trust Belle. In an estimate they charged us 3 times for brake hardware...which already comes with the brakes.

I moved here about six months ago with an old Volvo. I had a lifelong, reliable and trustworthy Volvo specialist mechanic back home and was nervous to find a new mechanic here that I trusted. Thankfully, I moved very nearby Mallek's on Jackson (right where Huron becomes Jackson at the split of dexter and Jackson) on the west side of town. They've replaced a thermostat, my break pads, and my blinker lamp and I completely trust them. John, the owner is incredibly pleasant and thorough. I fell they are very fair and very honest. They do free estimates too so it's worth calling them. I do recommend calling since sometimes they do have to do appointments since they are a small operation.

I'm a big fan of Ann arbor muffler on jackson, they never overcharge or try to sell you things you don't need

Thank you so much to everyone who gave us recommendations! You guys have no idea how much we appreciate your help! This community is amazing and I'm glad you guys were so willing to give helpful advice!

Bob Graham is a good local mechanic, who doesn't try to up-sell or overcharge.

Ed's Garage in Ypsi. My family has been going there for years.

I actually really love the Midas at Grove/Michigan in Ypsi. They're always so nice, and explain everything they need to do while showing me on my car. Not too expensive, either.

Mr. Tunes in Jackson I know his wife. Stephanie Haney Arver . He did a great job on the graphics on a friends truck. I plan on getting him to wrap my horse trailer

http://www.westonsigns.com/home.php Check with my friend Laurie Brooks Weston located in Webberville to see if she could meet your needs.

Spry Signs on M-60 between Spring Arbor and Concord.

Take it to Main Street Motors. If they still run the same inspection deal they used to, if they inspect it and you buy it, you can put the cost of the inspection over to repairing anything they found. As far as pros & cons? Taking it to a dealer, you run the risk that they play up any problems in the interest of getting you to buy one of their cars instead. (I assume you're not talking about taking it to the same dealer you're thinking of buying it from.) An independent shop theoretically has nothing to gain or lose from the sale.

Nobody better than Steve Steeb on Industrial.

Ron's Garage did a good job finding stuff wrong in my old car. Make an appointment.

Thank you all for your recommendations. I will give Steve Steeb, Rons Garage, Main street motors, and Fawzi's a call tomorrow..choose from one of them. Btw, do you guys know whether they are good for hondas/toyotas? I was looking at yelp, and there was one that popped up: http://www.yelp.com/biz/japanese-auto-professional-service-ltd-ann-arbor. it seems like they deal with japanese cars. Have any of you dealt with them?

When I was looking for my current vehicle, I took all the cars I was looking at to Fawzi's on Stadium. They had a deal where they would do a pre-purchase inspection of a car for a flat rate (I want to say $50, but it's been a few years). They looked at 4 cars for me until I bought one, advised me on why not to buy the first three (ex. found signs of accidents, damaged engine, etc.) and, when it came to the one I bought, pointed out its few flaws and gave me an idea of what I should offer for it.

I don't know much about the history but I like The Session Room. Thank you!

Great food at The Session Room! I, too, am interested in the history of the building.

Ann Arbor machinery before R&B

It was Viking auto for many many years I took my Volvo to be repaired they specialized in Volvo

John Schneider. Gimme a call, hes sittin right here.

Jamie's Lakewood Auto on Jackson is great, repair our families cars:)

I highly recommend Auto Lab Canton South on Michigan Ave. as a starting point for car repairs!
