Dykstra's Auto - Allendale in
Allendale (MI)

I'm not gonna lie they did it cheap but it was also a cheap job they glued my solenoid for my turbo in my 2013 ford Taurus sho, when they fixed my timing chain and they also taped my glove box back together after they broke it when I got it fixed for a leak I wish I could give 0 stars cause they absolutely deserve it. I will never return to this bootleg Establishment

Was my first time the only real issue i had was that, the not knowing of what was all wrong. To me with my anxiety felt like it was forever to let me know. But everything was fixed that needed to be ty again for helping me out

They somehow got my last review deleted, but this place tried to scam me for about $400. They overcharged me for a service and tried to make me pay $80 for a “free diagnostic”. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Very nice and knowledgeable They did not try to upsell me on unneeded repairs and let me know exactly what the car may need in the future and the severity and priority of each issue

Took them almost 2 days to do a diagnosis on my car. They initially told me it would be done the same day i dropped it off. Wanted them to look into one thing only about my car. They inspected and diagnosed my entire vehicle. Some of the things were accurate but some were just lies. They wanted to charge outrageous pricing for things that are simple and easy to fix. I would not recommend taking your vehicle here unless your are just completely ignorant on how to replace simple things.

Always have a great experience with Dykstras. Jeremy takes great care of us, communicates well, and gets us back up and running when were down.

I went here for a replacement wheel liner and these guys were very understanding, and helpful for my repair. Real genuine people that will hear out your problems and solve them at a reasonable price.

Jeremy and his team did an excellent job of helping, communicating, and fixing my car in a timely manner! Would recommend to GV students who are looking for car services plus they give a student discount!

I went in for an oil change and by far the best oils change experience I’ve ever had. I spoke with John on the phone and he got me in right away. John and the team were extremely friendly and fun to talk to and got my car done right away when I told them I had to leave for a long drive later that day. The price was at least $40 less than what the charge me at valvoline. I will be coming here from now on! They also had free coffee in the waiting room which was a plus!

My tire was losing air fast and I went in to get it looked at and they took my car in even though they were super busy. They found the issue and fixed it up and were very informative! I will be going back if I ever need to

I just wanted to give a big shout-out to Dykstra's Auto for going above and beyond to help my daughter, a GV student. She brought her car in for the first time today due to a tire leak, and the team was incredibly honest, upfront, and eager to assist—even though no major repairs were needed. As a Dad who has always done his own automotive work I was dreading the day when my daughter would need to find a shop on her own and possibly get taken advantage of. Thank you Dykstra's Auto. One less thing for me to worry about as a Dad. :)

The staff at this location were wonderful! As I was pulling out of the GVSU parking lot, I realized that I had a screw in the bottom of my tire! I brought it in immediately and within 10 minutes the hole was filled and I was back on the road. Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity and swift service!

Just wanted to give a shout of to this shop for always being so helpful with students in the area. My daughter is a GV student and has had to have her vehicle looked several times and they go above and beyond. Always being honest and upfront and willing to help even when there's no repairs needed! Thank you so much for providing for students in the area!

Jeremy and the staff took great care of my daughter when she had to bring her car in for “a noise”. They were very prompt and thorough. Loved that they send a picture of your vehicle being looked at and then send a quote with all the details. Turns out it was her brakes.They went above and beyond to get the parts and finish the job by the end of the day so my daughter could get to work early the next morning. What I thought was going to be a stressful situation being so far away from my daughter, Dykstra made me feel at ease and made it a good first experience for my daughter. I would highly recommend them. Thanks again!!

The staff at dykstra’s auto is friendly and makes it easy to schedule your vehicle. The reports are always easy to understand, and the business is honest!

DO NOT GO HERE EVER. They will try to take advantage of you if they think you don’t know anything about cars. They tried to basically scam me and charge me $800+ for their “tune up package”, and I had to argue with the technician for a few minutes before she reluctantly told me that all I actually needed was new spark plugs (still $300). Not only that, but their diagnosis of the cause was wrong too, and then they gave me another wrong diagnosis after the spark plugs were in. I ended up taking it to the dealership to learn that everything they said was wrong. They blatantly try to take advantage of people who they think don’t know anything about cars.

High quality experience all-around! Corra, at the front, is friendly and responsive, Jeremy was extremely accommodating and informative, and Maverick has my car spinnin' like a top, again. Thanks everyone, I will be recommending and returning!

Had the best experience with fixing my car ever. Besides your problem you'll get a full diagnosis of the car with photos and prices. Everyone is super helpful, accommodating and doing everything so well and fast. Prices are nice. Absolutely recommend this place. I'll be back for sure 😊

They helped me out a great deal. There was too much air in one of my tires and the manager came out to help me without a charge. He was amazing.

Amazing people and very great service! They were very transparent and showed a lot of integrity when it came to my car diagnosis. They do business the right way.

Great group of people! Honest, professional, affordable and willing to talk and answer questions. Highly recommend! Love Cora and Tommy. You are not paying them enough for the service they provide—those two earned by business for you

I took my vehicle to Dykstra’s Auto in hope that they could fix my car that other auto place were not able to pin point the issues without just throwing parts at it. They diagnosed it properly and fixed it in a timely manner. I was very happy with the service from both the front desk as well as the mechanic. The mechanic actually came out to the front desk to explain things and go over what he found and fixed. They also have a program where the mechanic is able to take photos of your vehicle and send them to you via text also with all of the diagnostics that they need to fix, what is all working properly, and what may need attention in the near future. I was very pleased and satisfied as I left there feeling like I didn’t get taken advantage of. I will definitely be utilizing their services again in the future for other work to be done on my vehicle.

I've taken my car here a few times now. They're transparent about any necessary repairs, the cost breakdown and estimated time of completion (and usually finishing sooner than expected). You can pay in-person or over the phone, so you can pick up your vehicle even after business hours if needed.

I'm so thankful for Cora looking at my back tire (while picking up a coworker there) to realize that all of my lugnuts were loose. The car had weaved earlier, and I had an appt set for the next day, but I might not have made it if the wheel came off. They did a great job with my baby, and I felt confident driving off their lot. I never give 5s as every place could always improve. But I also noticed a few days later when trying to listen to the radio, that my antenna was broke. Don't know if it hit the bay area somewhere, but that's what I noticed. I will DEFinitely come back for more work 😀

We had such a great experience here! Our Jeep was quoted at more than $2k at another place. After bringing it to Dykstra’s, it was still more than $2k but their services were cheaper so we were able to get more fixed. They were hugely helpful and understanding the whole time and they even stayed late one day trying to get the car done in time. Cora was super great at explaining everything and even gave us a student discount!! 15% off a $2k bill is quite a lot and so helpful to us when we were trying to figure out how we were gonna afford all the repairs. A nightmare car situation made a little smoother and easier :) Can’t recommend enough!!

The repair shop is very capable from basic oil changes and tire service they've done for me to bigger repairs like brake control modules and transmission service... they can do it all and it has made the last 4 years at grand valley for my daughter a little less stressful knowing there is someone there we can trust when it comes to car repairs. as a parent, I just wanted to say thankyou!

Dishonest and Overpriced – Avoid Dykstra's Auto in Allendale! I took my car to Dykstra's Auto in Allendale two days ago because I had a nail in the tread of my tire. Yes, it was close to the sidewall, but it was still in the tread. Instead of being honest about this, they falsely claimed that the nail wasn't in the tread at all and refused to repair it. That was the first red flag—completely misleading and dishonest. Then, instead of properly explaining the situation, they just tried to sell me on FOUR new tires for $1,300. I told them I would get a second opinion and left, only for them to call me 20 minutes later, still trying to push the sale on me, rather than taking the time to actually explain my options. I took my car to Schneider Tire in Marne, and the difference in service was night and day. They actually removed my tire, brought it inside their shop, and showed me exactly where the nail was and why they couldn’t safely repair it. They explained everything clearly and, unlike Dykstra’s, didn’t try to mislead me into an unnecessary purchase. Instead, they offered a fair price and got me new tires the same day—for $700, nearly half of what Dykstra's quoted me. Dykstra's Auto is clearly preying on college students and anyone they think doesn’t know enough about cars. Their goal isn’t to help customers; it’s to scare them into unnecessary, overpriced repairs. I will never bring my car to Dykstra’s again, and I strongly recommend avoiding them unless you enjoy being lied to and overcharged. If you need honest service, go to Schneider Tire in Marne instead.
