“Knowledgeable, hardworking, honest mechanics. My previous mechanic advised me to get a new car when my 250K car had issues shifting. I guess they didn’t want to fix it any longer so I looked for a new place. Chris let me know he loves fixing cars. One of his greatest joys in life is to have a customer say “wow” after he fixes their car.
Well, I’m saying WOW. The dashboard lights warning lights that have been on for years and my previous mechanic couldn’t get to turn off are finally fixed. I have had a few things replaced at AP Car Care. My car is working better than it has in years.
Take your car to Chris, he’ll be honest and do a great job.”
“I was having trouble with the braking system and took it into the shop. Turned out that the master cylinder was in need of replacement. It was under warranty from November 2024. They replaced the part and did not charge for labor. It was a pleasant surprise for them to admit it needed repair and not have a balance to pay off. I highly recommend their services.”
“First of all, I’m only giving five stars because I can’t give more.
For anyone looking for a good mechanic shop—especially if you own a European vehicle—hear me out and then decide if Allen Park Auto Shop is the right place for you and your car.
I’m from Florida, and my Mercedes Sprinter 2500 diesel van broke down while I was on the road. The AC compressor failed, which caused the serpentine belt to come loose. That ended up destroying the radiator fan, damaging part of the electrical harness, and affecting some of the pulleys. In other words, the perfect situation for a repair shop to have you completely at their mercy. After all, when your alternator isn’t working, the vehicle can’t even be driven—it can only be towed from one shop to another. So wherever you stop is usually where you’re stuck.
When I arrived, I mainly spoke with two gentlemen: Mr. Smoke and Mr. “Q.” To be honest, the only thing on my mind was wondering how much they were going to rip me off.
But I was completely wrong.
Not only did they charge me a very fair price, they also went above and beyond in ways I didn’t expect.
You might wonder how a shop can go above and beyond on what sounds like a relatively straightforward repair. Well, remember that my van is a Mercedes. Anyone who owns one knows that parts for these vehicles are often hard to find and extremely expensive, even aftermarket.
Several of the parts I needed weren’t available locally. Mr. Smoke spent hours tracking them down, making sure he found the best prices so I wouldn’t spend more money than necessary.
On top of that, they rushed the repair because they knew I was stranded in Allen Park and paying for a place to stay every day. The last part arrived on Wednesday, almost at closing time, and they still decided to finish the job that same evening so I could get back on the road and not lose another week financially.
That level of consideration and honesty is rare.
If you’re looking for reliable, honest mechanics who actually care about helping their customers, Allen Park Auto Shop is the place to go.
And if this review didn’t convince you… well, I’m sorry for your loss.”
“Our service Is #1 downriver. We have been here for 47 years since. 1977. We encourage anyone who has a problem with us or out work to let us know in person so we can make it right..”
“Finally found a mechanic I can trust! I took my car in and the experience was seamless from start to finish. The team was professional, the pricing was fair and they didn't try to upsell me on things I didn't need. It’s a relief to find an honest shop—I’ll definitely be back for my future service needs.”
“A few months ago, my daughter got into a car accident that crumpled up her hood and her bumper. My husband looked around for a place close by that allowed payment plans since we or she did not make a lot of money. Doug not only worked with her on a payment plan, but he worked very hard to make sure that he was able to get flawless parts to replace the necessary parts on her vehicle. Every time she came in to make a payment, he updated her on how much he was working for her to make her car like new again, and constantly reassured her that he was in her corner. He was even able to find the parts in the exact color of her vehicle which ended up saving her a 2 thousand dollars. Today we were able to pick up her vehicle and there was no disappointment. My daughter was never so excited than to see her beautiful car restored like new! Thank you so much to Doug and the staff who have been very friendly and accommodating. They did everything they could to make sure they helped my daughter out and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to get body work done on their vehicle!”

“I came here after I had gone to the dealership for new brakes. Firestone quoted me for all around brakes for less than the dealership for just front axle. Customer service was top tier. Connor was very professional and respectful, and I could tell all around a great guy. Definitely recommend this shop. I'll be coming back for any future car maintenance!”
“Quick turnaround and didn't make me feel dumb for not knowing what kind of oil we out in our cars, lol. Seems well-priced, although I admit to not knowing much about it.”
