What clients say about Goodwin's General Auto in Skandia (MI)
Really honest, and helpful. Gave us the time to test and diagnose out car as we were passing through. Found an issue our local shop had missed and saved us time and money. Really grateful!
We were on vacation in Marquette when our radiator cracked. We were referred to Goodwin’s. Bob came out promptly and towed us on a Saturday after the 4th of July. He was able to repair the car the next day so we could drive back home to Minnesota. Fair price and incredible service! Do not hesitate to give them a call if you are in need. Thanks Bob!
Goodwins was honest, kind, and fair. They did great work on my truck and gave an honest review about a new vehicle I purchased. During repair my truck was hit by another vehicle, and Goodwins took full responsibility and repaired the truck to the best of their abilities. I will absolutely return to Goodwins for future service and can recommend them with confidence. Solid and trustworthy folks.
Amazing staff and the dogs are so sweet....fixed my van fast and did it right the first time. Great place to go to get work done on your car/truck. Price was doable and didn't have to go back to fix it again. The only issue was that they didn't give back parts replaced.
Absolute top notch service by seasoned skilled mechanics. They know their Fords very well and did a superb job changing the exhaust manifolds on my super duty. I can and have done most of my automotive repair work for most of my life because I want to save money and more so because I don’t want to pay shops that may not do a thorough good job. After having Goodwins service my truck, I’ve decided I’m hanging up any major repair work on my own and gladly taking it to them to do.
Old school, friendly, knowledgeable and best of all Honest. These shops & people are very hard to come by. They have me as a loyal customer from now on.
Stopped in to ask a mechanic a few quick questions about my newly purchased truck. Was greeted by a super friendly employee who had the Bob the owner/mechanic speak to me. We went over my questions and concerns and he took the truck for a ride with me for further diagnosis. Bob was very knowledgeable and very willing to listen and offer his thoughts and insight. Overall a great experience, they live up to their reputation and any future work on this Ford will be done by them.
Got my car stuck while on vacation in the UP. I don't recall the gentleman's name who came out with a tow truck to pull me out. However, he was very friendly and helpful. If I was a local, I would go to this shop all the time now. Great, friendly service!
We found ourselves stranded when our car would not start. Across the parking lot, the Goodwin's truck was loading a car that had been in an accident. I walked accross and talked to the driver. He came and looked at my car and thought it needed to be towed. He offered to take us home, drop off the accident car and then come back and get out car. He saved our day and we greatly appreciate the help we got.
Thank You Goodwin's!!!

Gosh!!!! Where to start. Goodwin's is absolutely one of the best companies I have ever dealt with! They are a small, family owned company, and that was so incredibly comforting right from the start!
My wife, and I own a small, family owned limousine company in southern Wisconsin, and I was up in Marquette picking up a regular client that we have. I had driven past Goodwin's many of times, and have thought that if needed it would be a shop that I could use. Well, this past week, I was forced to do just that. While transporting "Tommy", an autistic client that I have, my stretch limousine just stalled, and would not start again. After being referred to Goodwin's by a passerby, I remembered seeing it, and knew that they were the one's that I was needing to call.
With the cold, and snowy, weather, I was more concerned about "Tommy" then anything. I knew that I needed to get him off the road, and into somewhere warm. So, when I called Goodwin's, and Laurie answered the phone, I got a sense of kindness right from the start. She put Bob on the phone, and I explained what was happening with the car, and that I needed a tow for a stretch limousine. Bob's first concern was, also, getting us off of the road, and into a warm vehicle. When he arrived with his wrecker, I got out and briefly explained to him about "Tommy". The kindness that Bob, Laurie, and Bill showed him was beyond no other!!! I truly believe that they are were Godsent in a very stressful situation!!
It turned out that my stretch limousine needed a new fuel pump, fuel filter, and control box. Goodwin's entire staff dropped EVERYTHING to fix my limousine so that we could continue on to Skokie, Illinois to drop off "Tommy".
I don't know what else to say, but Thank you..... Thank you SOOOO much!!!! I would certainly recommend Goodwin's to anyone in need of good, honest automotive service!!!! I know that I would absolutely use them again if needed!!!
God bless you all!!

Absolutely amazing service and kind place. They were as honest and knowledgeable as they were friendly. I have never been so impressed with service I have recieved and would recommend them to anyone.
We were pulled out of the snow today. A very polite, courteous man and his son drove back and dug my car out. Not being from the UP, I didn't realize I would get stuck so easy. I was treated with respect and his son was amazing. Thank you for the help! I would recommend this towing service to anyone that needs help.
My car needed towing from a ditch on a cold and slippery morning, the truck from Goodwin's arrived promptly, the service was efficient and the price was as fair as I might have wished. I am honored to recommend Goodwin's for whatever ails your vehicle, in fair weather or foul, whether on the road - or twenty feet off of it.
I went to Goodwin's Auto when my Ford F-150 was having electrical issues, Bob Goodwin the Owner, was the nicest guy you'll ever meet.. He took the time to answer my questions and concerns. I left my truck their for repair and the very next morning Bob called with the Cause. He had the truck fixed the same day!.. I previously took the truck to the Ford Dealership where i got the run around on what the issue was and nobody could fix it but still wanted to charge me for trying.. Not the case with Goodwin's Auto.. The repair was 45.00 and its fixed for good now! You guys are the best.. You've earned a customer for life.
