What clients say about UNITED AUTO REPAIR & ELECTRIC in Detroit (MI)
Amazing place very smart people highly intelligent brought my car here I had a lot of electrical issues and Sam is the man over there. Wow when I say wow wow he fixed my car and saved me over $3000 in repairs A+ to this place.
These mechanics do their job and some. They’ll test drive your vehicle and will determine the issue from that alone. They’ll work with you and will make sure your vehicle will be back in action in no time!
Let me tell you…. I’m somewhat of a google review critic, I know that usually something with 4.0 stars means it is absolutely horrible… but keep in mind this is an honest place and they aren’t having all their friends and family or paying some shady service for fake reviews… Ive been going here for about 6 years now… This is my go to shop! they do good work quick and for the best prices… so that’s where I will always go. Honest reasonable people just trying to do honest work. Can’t ask for more now days. Id recommend to anybody!
I'm not gonna lie, my transaction here started rough. A long wait for a scrap part that stretched out entirely too long.
But Sam really came through and made it up to me in the end. Appreciate you dawg.
Been to this location multiple times, they are well respected people, have great service, great manners, and also help reason with the price. Overall amazing mechanics.
I've been going here for years, and yet to have a problem with my vehicles. I always ask for Moe, but if he's not there, his Brothers are!! They are good ? and Considerate!???
I was quoted 600$ for a change in my timing belt. After I went to another place and they told me the issue wasn’t the timing belt it was actually my right tire and it was a simple 45$ fix. I even double checked the issue wasn’t my timing belt by going to a third mechanic. If you want to get ripped off blindly, they are always available after a 45 min wait.
The best mechanic in Michigan I have ever been to. They have really good prices and were very generous people. I would highly recommend coming here if I had any more problems with my car.
Charged me $360 and my car would not even make it around the corner from the shop. They lied about what was actually wrong with the vehicle to try to get as much money out of me as possible. They found little stuff wrong with the car and made it seem like a big deal while neglecting the real problems with the car. I went to another shop after this one and come to find out all I needed was a battery replacement to get the car to run properly but this shop tried to say that I need a new $3,000 engine. Makes no sense at all. I finally got my car running properly elsewhere, but overall I wasted money with these guys. Not a trustworthy mechanic!
Reply: Thank you. You proved my point. You charged me $360 for a so called “TEMPORARY FIX,” which is definitely unheard of, and my car did not even make it off of the block without going out. Did not fix the problem. The car was still inoperable after leaving your shop. Needed to take it to another shop and spend MORE MONEY to ACTUALLY FIX the issue.
