I don't recommend Mike's Affordable Auto Repair. I brought my 2017 Kia Rio in because it was wobbling a little when I hit a bump. I suggested that it "might be a tie rod" issue. I'm not a mechanic, it was only a suggestion.Mike's team of "technicians" replaced the tie rods and the problem persisted. I am certain that they did not test drive the car before or after the fix.It cost me over $800 for something that did not need to be replaced. I brought the car in at 8AM, this was on a Friday, and waited all day for word on the issue.Friday at around 5PM I get a call telling me that hadn't determined what was wrong yet and " It is going to be expensive" and " Do you need it for the weekend?" That was a bizarre call. I brought it back on Monday, they looked at it and told me that I had $2k worth of damage on my suspension.As it turns out, I had a tire issue that was a easy and inexpensive fix.I can't prove it, there seems to be a tiered level of service and it is tiered by an assumption of customers who seem well off and those who are not.Additionally, their "technicians" are not ASE certified and not qualified to diagnose your car correctly or intentionally replace parts that are not broken.I used to trust Mike's, I had a lot of work done at this shop. I can't honestly say that anymore.Use caution with this place, not trustworthy.

Mike's Auto Repair has been a lifesaver. As a mom car safety and reliability is a number one priority to me. These guys go above and beyond, after using other mechanics this is the only place I trust with my family's safety. Communication and explanation of work done is Superior. If you're looking for a reliable hardworking auto shop Mike's affordable is the place to go!!!

I was very impressed with the service I received at Mike's Affordable Auto Repair. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and very knowledgeable. I especially appreciated their candor with the amount of work required for my car and they didn't pressure me to do or fix anything that was out of my budget. I'll definitely be back.

My family and I Just moved into the area, so finding a local mechanic for the general maintenance on my vehicles is always a must. I've been in contact with Mike on Yelp for a few weeks now, but today my oil was finally due. Super easy to schedule and plan, and Mike knew I had to be at work for a specific time, remembered it, so when I got there they got me in and out. Also met Ryan as well, and just like the other reviews say these guys are honest with the operation they are running! I'm always a fan of supporting locally owned businesses. Seems like if you're looking for a straight up honest automotive shop, you can find it here. Thanks for you service I'll see you guys soon

SCAMMERS!!!!! I would not recommend any major work let alone any work at all seemed legit at first and nice but that changed quickly. I believe they were trying to scam because I looked and sounded younger and also had another key fob on my chain probably thinking I have more money. I came in with my dodge charger and they told me it will cost around 460$ to inspect my car to see what's all wrong, also said it can cost more if they start working on it and more problems come up which I was fine with. After finding out it used to be a police charger Ryan kept telling me every time he talked to me on the phone that those cars get ran like shit all the time and usually have a lot of problems which I already knew but was kinda giving me red flags thinking they might try to scam. Dropped it off on a Thursday told me they can't touch it till next week and they would call in a couple days waited over a whole week they didn't call at all they finally told me the problem after I called on a Tuesday over a week after. Told me it would cost around 4500$ to fix and that there could be something else that ends up being bad while working on it, I can't exactly remember what it was but told me multiple times it wouldn't be more then a 1000$ and I kept asking to make sure because I didn't want to possibly pay almost 10 thousand to fix my car what it's almost worth. Ryan said a few times to me that he don't see anything else turning out to be bad but he was just trying to sell me on some work . We agreed on that and I dropped off 3500$ deposit later that day, first thing the next morning there calling me at 8 a.m telling me it could cost 6,7,8,9 thousand dollars the car is way worst then they even thought and never seen a car as beat up as that said the camshaft needs be replaced they don't know exactly how much until the start doing more work, I told them to hold off don't do anything else. They told me to come in to look what's all wrong with the car, so I did and as I'm there the "hemiTechnician" is trying to sell me on that I'm better off just fixing my "low mileage" engine which is around 150k then getting it replaced which could possibly cost me up to 10 grand, which a newer engine with around 50k miles wouldn't even be half of that. After inspecting my car and taking apart my engine they told me I would have to take it out by tow that it's not drivable and I had to sign some paper to make sure I don't sue them and that took them almost a week to come up with and print. While signing the paper the dude Ryan was telling me if we didn't wanna give you ur money back we didn't have too. I got my car towed out of there they found out it was going to another mechanic we're Ryan started pretty much saying only an idiot would do that after paying over 500$ to get my car inspected then take it somewhere else. I took my car somewhere else they had it fully fixed calling in less then 4 days and cost me right under 4000$ total and that was with all the missing parts they said were not there that I probably had to pay for as well that they stole, also said there was nothing wrong with my camshaft!!. The dude who fixed my car also told me my engine cover was not In my trunk where they were supposed to put all my parts. I went and asked them were my engine cover was and they all started looking around acting like they don't know what happened with it and they would call back never did. I waited to see if I had any other problems after fixing to write a review but my car has been running perfect since I got it fixed almost 2 months ago and sounds better then ever. Also ended up paying $550 for inspection which they said would be around 460$ total. Wish I could give ZERO stars!!! Sorry for the long post I could of made this twice as long with all the shady shit they did ..

Mike's Affordable Auto Repair caused $6k in cosmetic damages to my passenger side and back of car. Luckily, my auto insurance company approved my claim and not only covered the damages but is pursuing Mike's Affordable Auto through their subrogation department to recoup the costs. Mike had my car from 5/5 to 6/22. I originally took my car in for a new headlight since my dealership was backed up. They discovered I had a warranty and also needed a new engine due to blown head gaskets. When I picked up my car 7 weeks later I saw what looked like dirt streaks on the back of my car but it wasn't until after work, I started to wash my car and realized a corrosive chemical rusted my chrome and caused rust streaks on side, back and front of car. I immediately texted the photos and left a voice mail assuming that my car was vandalized while at the shop and not with their intent or knowledge. But when I spoke to both Ryan & Mike - their first words were - you brought your car into the shop this way. If you try to sue -you won't win, you don't have proof. T Basically, they intimidated me and yelled & hung up on me. I'm not sure if they even have business insurance because a reputable company would've been more cooperative. Also, my neighbors and postman who see my car daily as I work from home can attest that my car was not damaged prior to taking my car to Mike's Affordable Auto. I've filed complaints with BBB, DOA, DA & hope that no one has to deal with this headache. I'm glad it is now in my rearview mirror and I hope to warn others.

Honest guys but work here is a bit pricey. 750 for 4 86$ tires and only a front tire alignment.

I'm writing this review so people don't make the same mistake I did. I recently purchased a 1998 4runner that is lifted. I called Mikes and told them the details of the vehicle, and what potential issues I saw and asked if they could take an overall look at it and make sure it was good for me to drive. No problem he said. I had a second conversation with Ryan prior to bringing it in and he said not a problem and to bring it in. Here is where it became less than competent service. First day it's there, they send me a picture of the alignment and how it's out of spec. Ryan calls me several hours later, saying "the truck is weird and they can't seem to get it right". So it's stays another day. Friday comes along, they still can't figure things out and call me Friday at 4:30pm to tell me it's worse and the steering wheel is crooked. I leave it with them over the weekend, reluctantly but Ryan promises they'll figure it out. Monday comes, takes all day to get a straight answer from them and the end result is an alignment not properly done and being told me steering rack and pinion has gone bad and it'll cost a grand just for the part. also mind you no testing of the steering rack or inspection was done. I take my truck from them, and still had to pay for an alignment that wasn't actually done properly. I bring it to Hardcore Trucks who within an hour has the alignment in spec and there is zero issues with the steering rack. Not only did they charge me money for an "alignment" and tires being balanced $260 (cause he didn't feel right about the job so he discounted the alignment *eye roll*) , but wasted tons of time! one of his last comments to me was "we don't usually take lifted trucks" and "I'll never try to work on an older 4runner again". I told him it would have been nice to know that they don't usually work on these types of vehicles BEFORE I brought it in, and his response was "you know you just don't know till you know" referring to not being able to service a vehicle properly. I end up giving him shop names of places I discovered (hardcore and Toy house) to refer people like me to so this doesn't happen again. mind blowing. they took a vehicle that was beyond their scope of work and had me waste time and money for no reason, all cause they couldn't just say that's not something we can service. bad business.

I could not recommend Ryan and the team at Mikes Affordable Auto Repair enough. I had the unfortunate luck of receiving a double flat tire, the second of which blew out on the highway close by. AAA was not helpful at all - giving me a 2.5 hour wait time, so I rolled very slowly toward a corporate tire shop and while enroute I passed this shop. When popping into the very busy shop, I explained my situation and asked if they could plug my original flat tire. Ryan immediately inspected the tire and gave it to his team to fix. In less than 15/20 minutes my tire was fixed and back on my car. I could not have asked for a better, honest experience than what I encountered from this group. I am not from the area either - they literally saved me from being stranded! Thank You Team!

I found this place from Google and Yelp. I was looking for an honest, reliable, affordable car mechanic and this place had really good reviews. I called Monday morning at 7:30am when they opened and Mike picked up right away. He gave me an estimate on the phone for a brake flush exchange and it was at a reasonable price so I bought it in. I didn't even have to make an appointment! There is free wifi at the waiting area so I was able to get some work done while my car was serviced. I was told by another place that my terminals had to be replaced but Mike's team was honest and said it looked perfectly fine so I only paid for the brake flush. I'm so glad I found this place! This place indeed lives up to the great reviews. Mike runs this business with integrity and care. He is so friendly too! Highly recommend!
