What a gem! We are so thankful for Michael and his friends/staff. We broke down on I80 and our roadside assistance dispatched a Saturday tow that never arrived. Michael arrived, brought an extra car for passengers, and took the time on Saturday to problem solve and fixed our car. He saved us!
Truly a gift and reconfirmed our belief in the kindness of strangers. Also big shout out to Bud, the local motorcyclist who took the time to stop and check on us. Then followed up and found us at Michael’s garage to make sure we were ok.
Don't come here if your a woman alone. I visited this shop for a simple coolant leak, they said it was a thermostat issue, or so I was told. The mechanics kept “huddling” like they were planning a baseball game, glancing at me like they were deciding what to say next. It didn’t feel honest.
I was quoted over $380 to “maybe” fix the issue but only after replacing the thermostat just to investigate further. Huge red flag.
Took it elsewhere for a second opinion, and guess what? The thermostat was fine. The real issue was something else entirely, verified with photos and a real explanation.
I don’t recommend this shop, especially for women who aren’t bringing a man with them. It felt uncomfortable, like they were hoping I wouldn’t know better.
I left and saved myself hundreds. Trust your gut.
We are from Michigan and our car broke down in Pennsylvania. Mike"s garage drove 45 minutes to to fix our car. We were parked at a truck. Thanks to Mike we made it back to Michigan the same day.
Had a car break down, they were contacted, and not too long after they were hauling it to the garage. It was fixed within weeks, that's as far as the good goes
Their communication is absolutely terrible. It started with communication every few days almost always initiated by me during the time they had the car. Afterwards was even less. I pay for full coverage which includes towing, however my insurance needed an invoice or receipt to reimburse me for the tow. It's almost a month and a half later and still absolutely nothing. I've messaged, my fiance messaged repeatedly every few days, they respond back with "I'm out of slips" "will let you know"
I've learned that they will never let you know
I'm counting it as a loss. Will never be back to this garage. It would've been cheaper to pull off the driveshaft, get a car dolly and borrow someone's truck and get it to my usual mechanic who actually communicates with me. And go ahead and say "but they were busy"...
When I picked up my car there were 4 guys sitting at the counter laughing and joking around and there was no car in the garage getting worked on, so yeah "busy"
This man saved me on New Year’s Eve! I went somewhere else and they said it was gonna be crazy expensive and that I would have to tow to the nearest dealership which was 150+ miles away. I call him for a tow and he asks me about my car and says he can fix it. He was at my car in less than an hour, knew what was wrong immediately, and went to get the parts and fixed it so fast. I was on the road and home by new years! Reasonable prices, even with the holiday, and I asked him a million questions about my car, and now it runs better than the day I bought it used. Best mechanic experience I have ever had. If you’re thinking about who to go to, drive however long it takes (if your car can make it) to this man and his crew. They’ll get you squared away. I don’t even have the right words to express my gratitude for this man and his business. Thank you, Michael and crew, for excellent service.
Beyond my expectations & highly recommend!!!
Tysm for your kind support during a difficult situation for me!
First time and hopefully last time, I need a tow truck! lol
But, will definitely use your expertise if any future vehicle issues!
Again, thank you!!
Car wouldn’t start on a Saturday. Michael took care by Sunday in a very timely and affordable manner. I was only in town for the weekend, so he really helped me avoid a crisis. Highly recommend.
If this allowed me to do 10 stars I would!!! We had lost a tire on our camper on Interstate 80 after numerous calls and nobody wanting to help or charge us $2500 Michael’s garage came and got us back on our way. Thank you gentlemen for the outstanding service!!!!!!
I had went to walmart auto center in clearfield and got new tires. Upon leaving walmart it was making a clunking noise and walmart said I had a broken axle. Immediately upon leaving i called Michael's and asked if he was open. He came in on a Sunday afternoon and diagnosed it within minutes. It turned out to be a wheel weight that walmart had installed that was rubbing on my emergency break cable. He had it fixed and I was on the road in no time. I highly recommend Michael for any shop needs.
I travled from nj to clearfeild to visit family for holidays. I ran into car trouble and are 5 hours away from home. Mike drove out to me to help me did not charge me anything for coming out and gave me honest and great help. I would tell anyone to go to this place very freindly and great guy!!!
Michael spent literally all day trying to get my truck and driver off of the side of the highway and rolling again. Drove over 150 miles to pick up a part that was needed and helped us get to our next delivery on time. A++
When AAA failed me, these guys saved the day. They towed us where we needed to go, and it was reasonably priced. We needed them 2 days in a row AND needed to be picked up from our hotel, then taken to the nearby Ford dealership, and they were very accommodating. It did take a little longer than expected to be picked up, but after the crazy day we had, we dealt with it. Definitely recommend if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere and need a 24-hour tow.
My buddy and I were on a road trip and had blown a coolant hose leaving us stranded on the highway. Michaels came up on a google search and a call later came to the rescue.
They gave us a tow to the shop and found a replacement part for us and got us back on the road in the same day! Honest and great crew they got. I enjoyed every moment with them!
You can trust they’ll be sure to get you back on the road! They sure did for us!
These guys saved me big-time after I hit a deer and needed a lift and a tow in the middle of the night. They even went out of their way to find a decent motel for me to stay at for the rest of the night!
They went out of their way to help me out and absolutely deserve 5 stars. Kudos to Michaels Garage and Towing!
Apparently he has another business Angie's list gave me his garage number he set up to come fix my thermostat at my house at noon today he was a no call no show. I tried calling him to see what was going on several times but no answer so I got fed up and decided to go to the garage to see what was going on and when I pulled up he hopped on the motorcycle he was fixing and drove off
Man does great work. Definitely taking to him when something goes wrong. Found problems I didn't even knew were going on and managed to get it fixed within my budget
Let another shop in the area change my transmission fluid and he did it completely wrong. I thought my transmission was done, but I came here and now it’s running good as new. great shop and good prices!
Mike had always done amazing work on my cars. He's even found a few things that were wrong that other mechanics couldn't figure out. He knows what he's doing and reasonably priced compared to other garages.
This garage is not to bad. Except here’s the issue. I went to have my car fixed, it had an oil leak. well, they completely destroyed my alternator in the process. and when i got my car back, it was covered in scratches and dirt. the interior was also painted a different color. i don’t really know why to do now
I took my vehicle to this garage when I needed my transfer case replaced. He fixed it quickly and efficiently. I haven't had a problem with it since and it has been over 3 years now.
