This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Southwest Truck & Auto Electric in Wyoming, MI earns an exceptional 99/100. Reviews highlight expert, no‑nonsense service, fair pricing, and quick turnarounds (often same day) on starters/alternators, including rare or obsolete units. Staff professionalism and customer service are consistently praised, with helpful phone guidance. Some inventory is on hand, but this is more a rebuild shop than a junkyard; little is said about yard organization or broad inventory variety. Finding parts is usually easy because they rebuild or match what you bring.
Call this gentleman on the phone and I’m pretty educated, but he helped me out without hesitation. Didn’t try to sell me on anything. Told me what my problem was great people.
Alternator on my wife's 08 Jeep laredo started making a crazy noise, and the prices to replace it are ridiculous. Took it here and hrs later, she's back on the road. Thank g_d that tracy is still around. He really knows his stuff. Give him your business. It is so worth it.
This is one of grand rapids hidden gems when it comes to automotive, istead of blowing hundreds of dollars in new part (starters alternators) you can have them rebuilt better then the reman stuff at the big box stores , Tracy the owner is a very knowledgeable Guy and very friendly and helpful
fortunate to have found this place with such a cool owner. needed a high output L mount cs130 (if you know, you know) and he built me one without a problem. picked it up the next day. willing to spread some knowledge too, overall great experience. dont hesitate to spend your money with tracy.
Tracy talked to me over the phone to help with my vehicle. It was something they didn’t do at the shop but he gave his time to listen and give me a direction.
Five stars for politeness and customs care.
I was looking for an original replacement alternator for my classic Mustang. They happened to have the exact rebuilt Motorcraft alternator in stock. They can also rebuild your existing alternator for much less than a cheap reman and turn it around in a very short time.
The service was great and prices are extremely reasonable.
Glad I found this place!!! Will definitely be back if need to. Sending people your way and spreading the word on how satisfied I was with my visit and repair!!!
This establishment has been around since Wyoming, MI has been a city, Tracy the owner rebuilt an obsolete motorcycle starter for me, pretty much from a box of obsolete parts they've been collecting over the years. If you want your rebuild done with true precision and quality, bring it to Tracy, pricing is excellent, he will rebuild your part and with better quality parts far less than the big box stores, the warranties in place are great, but you will not have a need to use that my friend. The company takes pride and injects passion into their work.
Thanks again, Southwest truck and auto!
Awesome needed a starter for riding lawnmower couldn’t find anything in town for less than 150$ brought my starter to Tracey. And he put new parts on the old one . One day later fixed 35$ out the door. Been there forever and hope he continues masterful job.
Tracy has saved me lots of money over the years, and when you have a very him rebuild you original equipment it will be with good internal parts unlike all the garbage you get from all the parts stores now a days. and its cheaper than the parts stores, I'd recommend him t o anyone.
Been going here for over 20 years for starters and alternators. I won't buy the chinese stuff from the local chains. It is a small shop and nothing fancy, but worth going out of the way for.
Love these guys, my dad went there for as long as I can remember. Now I go there for my alternator or starter needs. My son is the next generation customer. Shop doesn't look like much but I dont go there for a vacation, I go there because they know what they're doing
Very pleased with the work, he worked fast and got my alternator working the way it should have been. I'll return here anytime I need a rebuild. Oh, and he has two cool cats as well.
Tracy has saved me a ton of money over the years I have utilized his service. He is very knowledgeable in his field, one thing you get here you don't get from autozoo/boneyard is price of mind. Thank you Tracy!
