Needed U-joints and motor/ transmission mounts done asap, and they had it done within 3 business days. My 20 year old nugget rides like a peach now. Highly recommend.
I broke down on my PCS move from Texas to North Dakota about five miles from this gentleman's shop. The staff are professional and courteous and he worked long hours to diagnose and repair a real snafu of a problem. After a week of work, he refused to bill me for the full hours, and my car has literally never run better. I blame Kia and the dealer for giving me a faulty part, but my engine is both quieter and more fuel efficient since I received my vehicle from them just a few days ago.
Shout-out to Mike, man. He's a real one. Some of the best work ethic in the game, a deep knowledge of not just what problems are but how to fix them right with the tools available, and some of the friendliest service I've ever gotten. Semper Fi.
I had a blowout near Mike's shop. I went in and they put on my spare. They didn't want to charge me anything but I paid him and said to pass it on if he didn't want it.
Super nice, friendly and so very helpful. Told me where to go to get a replacement tire. Wish I lived closer!
Mike's provided me with very prompt, professional, friendly, & thorough service when my son's truck engine overheated on I35 when traveling to Stillwater over the weekend. We had the truck towed to his shop on Monday morning and Mike immediately began the diagnosis process. Bottom line w/o a longer story: a bad radiator cap was the culprit! Being from out of state, I was worried about who I could trust to work on my vehicle (we've all heard of horror stories). I was VERY impressed with their ability, honesty, thoroughness, pricing, and their friendliness! I am SO glad I found Mike's! If I lived near Paoli, I would take all my vehicles to him! If you need service anywhere near Paoli, call Mike's! Thank you for taking care of us, Mike! Semper Fi!
Oklahoma City technicians told me that my Catalytic Converter was going out and wanted $2,200 to fix it. I took my car here and he took the time to properly assess the situation. He read the emission readings and determined that my car was reading the E10 fuel I was putting in incorrectly. I did two fuel treatments and only put in no ethanol, highest quality fuel that they suggested and my light never came back on.
It’s difficult to find someone who cares and isn’t just out to make money. The people here are good at what they do and incredibly professional. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
When I asked who was the best pro mechanic in Garvin County everyone told me to call Mike. i am glad they did!
I needed to figure out how to install a premium aftermarket alternator in my 2016 Tacoma to support a 90A constant draw charging system I installed in my travel trailer for lithium house batteries. I found the alternator that was advertised to be a "bolt-in OEM fitment part". It wasn't.
First I took it to the Toyota dealer in Norman. They were very helpful (and did not charge me for the attempt - though I offered to pay), but they could not get it to fit. So, I tried it myself. Not happening. in desperation, I asked my local friends who they would trust to do it properly. They all told me to take it to Mike. Turns out, I should have taken it to him in the first place.
Even before he quoted me a price, he researched the part to get an idea of the scope of the job. Then he got me in within a few days. Sure enough, it didn't fit. The post and one-wire connector were not in the same place as the OEM alternator and would not clear the truck frame or AC compressor. He could have given up there and I could not have blamed him. Instead, he documented the precise fitment issue, sent me photos of the modifications that would need to be made, and participated in a phone call with me to the OEM who agreed to do them.
Then Mike got right to the install as soon as the alternator was returned to him and he had it ready and thoroughly tested when I picked it up the next day. Outstanding! I knew he had put a lot more work into this job than he could have foreseen and I offered to pay him more for his efforts. But he wouldn't take it.
Well. If he won't take my money he can have my gratitude and whatever good comes from this review - because I am going to post it everywhere.
Thank you Mike and Payton! It was a real pleasure to do business with you.
We had an exceptional experience with Mike. We were on a long road trip and needed to have our car inspected. He got us in right away with no wait, and did a thorough job at a very reasonable price. He went above to search for the problem we had. Mike is a skilled and honest mechanic and I would recommend his shop for any of your auto repair needs! Thanks Mike!
