What clients say about All Hours Auto Repair, LLC in Birch Run (MI)
I cannot recommend this place enough! Jim is a LIFESAVER and really knows his stuff. He stayed open late to help me with a nail in my tire when I was an hour away from home and desperate for help. He was extremely friendly and provided amazing service and also took some additional time to educate me. I’ll absolutely make it a point to revisit his shop in the future for all other services. Truly grateful for the kindness and professionalism.
Best shop around. I literally drive from Bay city just to have them work on my stuff. Fast, reliable, excellent service, excellent parts and super friendly.
Took my jeep in for a front end alignment, and to put new tires on.. well $1,000 later for some other repairs including radiator cause mine was leaking and an electric cooling fan installed. Which I had a clutch fan so my brother said that electric fan wasn’t needed. I never had an issue with my car over heating til I got it back from the shop. My head gasket blew not even 2 days later. Shop owner said best he could do was a motor swap cause he don’t fix head gaskets. But I’d be paying full price for it. Other mechanics I’ve talked to said the fans worked against each other which caused my car to over heat and blow the head gaskets.
Al’s Autoshop was very honest and fast. I got an oil change and the place didn’t put all of the bolts and my cover came off. Al put the cover back on no charge. Being a woman he could have easily taken advantage of me but he didn’t. I recommend him to anyone in the area
Great place for your emergency needs. I was on vacation and needed somewhat emergency service. Jim squeezed me into his busy schedule the same day. He was well equipped and more than qualified for what I needed. He took care of me very quickly and at a very fair price. Highly recommend him.
Brought my car in for a ac recharge not trying to spend alot and I let him know that. He flushed the system couldn't get the ac to work and said it was the expansion valve so he got my permission to fix that part for an additional 150. That's still didn't fix it but he didn't let me know that and took it upon himself to order additional parts bringing my cost of 189.99 to almost $900. And then when I questioned the fact that he did that without taking to me and getting my permission to quadruple my original agreed upon price he made it firm that it had to be paid before the vehicle was picked up and wehn i told him to.take the part off he was very rude and angry and cut me off when I was trying to talk and hung up on me. When they finally finished taking the parts off they never even told me it was finished and when i licked up the car it smelled like it had been hotboxed with weed and cigarettes. I would be very careful using this place they seem very petty I wouldn't be surprised if I find damage where they were working to spite me. Even tho all I wanted was a phone call before you start adding hundreds to my bill. Very poor service and only 1 guy and the dog were nice to deal with. Glad I paid 300 for a part to be replaced that was fine but he insisted on "fixing" to still be at square 1.
I was going to do the rear brakes on my vehicle but due to an electronic parking break, I was not able to do them at home. I had the parts but no way to get them installed. I called around and no shop was willing to use parts I had already bought. I called Jim and he had no problem using the parts I already had and knew exactly the trouble I ran into with the parking brake. I took it in at 9:30 and it was done by 12:30 on the same day. Price was also very reasonable. I really appreciate them getting me out of a pinch.
We were on vacation and only in the area for a few days. We were towing a travel trailer and the steering was unstable. I ordered suspension assist bump stops, had them shipped to All Around, and they squeezed it into the schedule while we waited in comfortable chairs in the lobby. Great service, friendly owner.
Jim was a godsend when my vehicle broke down 3 hours from home. He worked hard to round up parts and get us back on the road as fast as possible. He is super accommodating and very fair pricing. Mike even did drop off and pick up to the hotel. Super guys 👍👍 Thank you so much.
I was in birch run (about 80 miles from home) when my tie rod snapped. I had it towed here based on their high rating & I am very happy that I did. I had a small list of things wrong with my breaks, tires & front end that they fixed for me for a seriously great price. I wish they were in my area so I could recommend them to my family and friends.
They are the only mechanic I trust with my car. Been with them for years and will stay with them. Jim is very reasonable and honest, he will tell you what your car needs, not what he can charge you for.
My husband and I live in Minnesota, but we’re in Birch Run this last week, where my vehicle locked up on me and left us in a position where we had to find a shop to have it towed to. Luckily for us, we found this shop and Jim took take of us 100% He made sure to take care of the issue and was more than fair. We made it back home! Which was the ultimate goal!! If you are looking for an auto repair shop that is not out to screw you over… get your vehicle to Jim at All Hours Repair!!!
My family & I were on the kids spring break out of town when our alternator decided to go out. Jim took care of us and got our car fixed and on the road in less than 2 hours. I don’t remember the name of the mechanic that worked on our car, thank you! Def recommend this shop to anyone. So glad we came across this shop when we were over an hour away from home.
So very happy! Jim and Mike not only fixed my jeep faster than expected, but went above and beyond to help us out when we were in a jam and I’m so grateful. Price was very reasonable and would definitely recommend this shop!
Three times now with 3 different vehicles I received an honest assessment and very reasonable rates. Jim was recommended by other local businesses. Almost don't want to tell anyone about this place since I anticipate him getting very busy very soon.
Helpful, friendly, and competent. I am grateful for the quick service that allowed me to finish a road trip safely. And the adorable Rottweiler puppy is a cherry on top!
Great service! I had to travel north 3 hours to return home. Very worried about me and my 2 children and my car breaking down due to loud rattling in the front while driving on the freeway. I called Jim and explained my situation. I was able to come in late morning and back on the road that afternoon.
Great place and mechanic!
These guys were great. While driving from another state I had a car issue. They had my car in, out and me back on the road fast. If I lived in the area I'd definitely use their service again. Thank you!
I had a wheel bearing go out while I was traveling from Detroit to Petoskey and they were first on the list that road service gave me. I had my truck towed there and within 10 minutes they had it up on the lift and wrenching away. All said and done I was in and out of there in an hour and a half!
Best mechanic I have found in years. Very straight forward, gets the job desired done and at an excellent price. All with a warranty. Jim and the team went above and beyond for my family and we are forever grateful. The only mechanic I trust to work on my car anymore. Thank you guys!! This is the shop you want, honest good working men here.
Jim was excellent, kept me informed while doing the trouble shooting. He pinpointed the problem and was able to fix the issue promptly. Very honest and helpful. Definitely earned a loyal customer.
When my van broke down at the first of my vacation, I was pretty upset. Staying in Birch Run, as a Visitor, and being from Canada, I did not know who to turn to. I went into Advanced Auto Parts, and they gave me his business card. I took my van in, they took it in right away, and found out it was the alternator. Jim Took me back to the hotel, and picked me up the next day when it was done. His team went above what they had charged me, and fixed not only the one issue, but other issues as well. All the time not giving me a hard time, when I called in twice. I paid a good price, and he got me on the road again. Know when I am back in Birch Run again, I will get an oil change from him. He works with everyone, and tells the truth, and helps everyone out. I am so glad I met him. Only downside, I wish he was closer to me, as I would want to get all my repairs through him.
My family and I were on our way up north last week when we all of a sudden heard that our exhaust was super loud! We got off the exit at Birch Run and we didn't know what to do! We were already over an hour away from home and still had 4 hours drive to our destination. I was panicking when we stopped at one spot and they couldn't help us because something had broke and needed to be welded on our exhaust system. This shop recommended All Hours Auto Repair so we went there with our prayers! They looked at our truck right away after telling them about our problems. He knew what it was right away and said he could fix it within an hour for only 150$! We were so happy! We thought that we were going to get scammed because we needed done so quick and we're expecting to have to pay up to 500$. I am very happy with this shop they saved out trip and saved us lots of money! Any other shop might have scammed us because we were not from there and had to get it fixed ASAP. I love this place it may even be worth the trip for me to drive an hour there next time I need maintenance! Thank you Mike at All Hours Auto
