What clients say about Alderink Automotive LLC. in Clarksville (MI)
I took my car here initially primarily because it is close to my house. But the service I’ve received on all three occasions I’ve been in has been excellent. Even if I move I’ll still take my cars here.
Its hard to find an honest mechanic these days. I completely trust this shop. I love the owner. Hes laid back but also straight to the point. They always find time to look at my truck, they are honest, willing to explain things if i dont understand and the price is fair. I highly recommend this shop.
Do not bring your business to these guys. The first time I tried to have work done on my truck, the mechanic was extremely unprofessional and left my brand new Colorado out in their lot overnight unlocked. I got a hold of the owner who apologized and explained that if I ever were to bring my vehicle in again he would make it up to me. Fast forward to several months later. I'm trying to get work done on another one of our vehicles. I tried to call them and left messages with no response. After a couple weeks of trying to get a hold of them, somebody finally answered the phone and said "stop calling" then hung up the phone. I ended up going in to speak with the owner. Turns out he was the one that answered the phone and hung up on me. When I went in to talk with him he acted like he did not care about what happened over the phone and just kept asking me "what do I need". I can't speak to what kind of work these guys do on vehicles, but I can surely tell you that if you have any issue that needs to be brought up, both the employees and the owner are extremely unprofessional.
Tristen always takes great care of me and makes sure I fully understand what’s going on before any work is done. He consistently goes the extra mile to make sure my car is safe and ready for the road, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the people he helps. I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with my car, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a mechanic who truly cares.
Hand down our favorite go-to auto repair shop. Tristan is honest, helpful, and explains things in an easy to understand way. He always goes above and beyond to be helpful in diagnosing the issue and often providing assistance at no cost. We are blessed to have this shop in Clarksville!
Tristan was incredibly honest and transparent about my cars repairs. Their pricing was very fair and the quality is top notch. I felt completely comfortable knowing my car was in capable hands, and will definitely be returning for all future maintenance needs. Highly recommend!
Took my trailblazer for break problems and he made it worse and couldnt figure out the problem. Took it to someone else and they figured it out and said that what the clarcksvill shop said they tried they did not do at all. I do NOT recommend taking your vehicle here at all!!!!!!!!!
Glad I found Tristan since Randy in Alto retired. Tristan does great work and is gung-ho and eager to help you. Just had a valve-stem replaced, but I'm happy with his git-r-done attitude and willingness to serve. Prices are great as well. Will be taking all my vehicles here.
Highly recommend! We were essentially stranded just off I-96 with a flat tire on our camper, when we found Alderink just down the road in Clarksville. Tristen went above and beyond to help us out, and got us back on the road in no time. We truly can’t thank him enough!
This is a great local place for basic car things (oil change, tires, etc) and other repairs as well. Very reasonably priced and service is quick. I dropped my car off after hours the day before for an oil change. The next morning he called and texted me before 9:00 for pick up. My mom’s vehicle needed a new starter. Shout out to Tristen! He found a gently used starter to save money, installed it and had it ready to go the same day. We love all services here! Highly recommend to anyone!!
I experienced a flat tire and dented wheel on I-96. The tow company suggested Alderink's. I am glad they did. Tristan took very good care of my car and of me. He looked around to try and get the best price he could to replace my wheel, and we had him put all new tires on while he had the car. He gave me a solid estimate and called me when the job was done. I never felt like he was taking advantage of an old lady in a desperate situation. I am very appreciative of the service and care my car and I received at Alderink Automotive. I highly recommend this business. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you Tristan!!!
Great service!
Everywhere else around had long wait times, they were able to squeeze me in the same day. Great price, and spectacular customer service!
Will be back for any auto needs, and will be recommending this business to my friends and family!
I have had such great experiences here! I have needed a tire alignment and an oil change. The owner, Tristen, had always been extremely friendly and knowledgable. I have been to him multiple times now and every time he has helped me a great amount. He explained the process of a tire alignment and gave me a great price with both service! My car drives like brand new. He knows a lot about vehicles and I will be bringing my car here for any needs in the future! Thank you Alderink Automotive!!!
With 31 years' experience at the same Clarksville, MI, downtown corner, it's clear that Proprietor Alan Jackson loves his work! He made a same-day major repair that saved me from a breakdown on a 300-mile trip. He also saved me from a week's wait for an appointment at a nearby car dealership. Best of all, he was friendly and reasonably priced. Thank you Al!
Lugnuts not tightened down when they rotated my tires. One tire almost came off on the highway- snapped 2/5 wheel studs.
They "couldn't find anything wrong" when I told them about my front end clunking, but the very next day another mechanic found my ball joint busted and unsafe to drive on.
I will never trust this shop with another vehicle.
Great service, friendly, helpful staff. They went above and beyond to help us last minute right before they closed. Great deal as well! I highly recomend this place!
Constantly going above and beyond to keep my car on the road, they are never breaking the bank or taking advantage of the fact that i know next to nothing about cars. Greatest group of people, they have given me advice to keep my car on the road a couple more weeks before we could get it in to them. The aren't enough words
Great little place. Had a flat on i96 and stopped to get it patched. They patched it and offered to put it on for me in less than 20 minutes. Beats a 3 hour wait at any big box tire store.
