Jennifer K. – Garden City Resident

“Three generations of family excellence! After a bad experience at another shop, I was referred to Best Auto Electric by my neighbor. They explained my brake issue clearly in terms I could understand, showed me the worn brake pads and rotors, and completed the work same-day at a fair price. Six months later, I had a minor issue covered by their warranty – they honored it immediately with no hassle. This is the only auto repair shop I’ll trust in Metro Detroit. My whole family brings their cars here now.”

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Yes – we provide an industry-leading 24-month or 24,000-mile warranty on parts and labor, whichever comes first. This is one of the best warranties in the automotive industry. Our warranty is honored at over 5,000 NAPA AutoCare locations nationwide, so you’re covered even if you’re traveling. The warranty covers both the parts we install and the labor to install them. There are no hidden exclusions – if there’s a problem with our work or the parts we installed, we’ll make it right at no cost to you.

Can you provide same-day service?

Yes! 85% of our repairs are completed same-day with an average wait time under 3 hours. We understand your vehicle is essential to your daily life, so we prioritize quick turnaround times. For more extensive repairs that can’t be completed same-day, we offer free loaner vehicles so you can keep your schedule. We also offer early morning drop-off (as early as 7:30 AM) and evening pickup (until 7:00 PM by appointment) for your convenience.

What are your hours of operation?

Do you work on all car brands?

Yes! We service all makes and models including domestic (Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, RAM), Asian (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti), European (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Mini), luxury brands, and electric vehicles. Our ASE Master Certified technicians receive ongoing training on all modern automotive systems including the latest hybrid and EV technology. Whether you drive a brand new Tesla Model Y or a classic 1970s muscle car, we have the expertise and equipment to service it properly.

How much do repairs typically cost?

We provide free written estimates before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Here are some typical price ranges:

* Oil changes: $35-$85 depending on vehicle type and oil
* Brake service: $150-$400 per axle (pads and rotors)
* Battery replacement: $120-$300 for standard vehicles
* Alternator replacement: $350-$650 installed
* Diagnostic fee: $89.95 (waived if you proceed with repairs)

We offer financing options through multiple providers for larger repairs. We also offer a price-match guarantee – if you have a written estimate from another licensed repair facility for the exact same service, we’ll match or beat it.

Are you BBB accredited?

Yes! We maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and have been accredited since 2003. We’ve had zero unresolved complaints in the last 5 years. Your satisfaction is our guarantee. We’re also proud members of NAPA AutoCare, ASE (Automotive Service Excellence), and the Michigan Auto Repair Association. These affiliations hold us to high ethical and professional standards.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, we provide free written estimates for all repairs. Bring your vehicle in and we’ll perform a comprehensive inspection and provide you with a detailed estimate that includes parts, labor, and any applicable shop fees. The estimate is yours to keep with no obligation. Our diagnostic fee is $89.95 if you need us to troubleshoot a specific problem, but this fee is waived if you decide to proceed with the recommended repairs.

Can I wait while my car is being serviced?

Absolutely! We have a comfortable waiting area with free Wi-Fi, complimentary coffee and refreshments, and a TV. The waiting area is climate-controlled and clean. For longer repairs, we offer free loaner vehicles so you don’t have to wait. We can also provide shuttle service within a 5-mile radius if you prefer to wait at home or work.

Do you provide shuttle service or loaner cars?

Yes! We offer free loaner vehicles for repairs that will take more than a few hours. Loaner vehicles are subject to availability and require a valid driver’s license and insurance. We also provide free shuttle service within a 5-mile radius of our shop (covering most of Redford Township, parts of Livonia, Detroit, and surrounding areas). Just let us know when you drop off your vehicle, and we’ll arrange transportation.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express), debit cards, and checks. We also offer financing options through Synchrony Car Care, Snap Finance, and other providers for repairs over $200. Financing is subject to credit approval. Ask us about our financing options when you get your estimate.

Do you inspect vehicles before purchase?

Yes! We provide comprehensive pre-purchase inspections for used vehicles. For $149.95, we’ll perform a thorough 150-point inspection covering engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, electrical systems, and more. We’ll provide you with a detailed written report including photos of any problem areas. This service has saved our customers thousands of dollars by identifying issues before they buy. Pre-purchase inspections typically take 1-2 hours and can be scheduled same-day or next-day.

What makes you different from dealerships?

We offer several advantages over dealerships: (1) Lower labor rates – typically 30-40% less than dealer service departments, (2) More personalized service – you’ll talk directly with the technician working on your car, (3) No pressure upselling – we only recommend what’s truly necessary, (4) Better warranty – our 24/24K warranty often exceeds dealer warranties, (5) Faster service – same-day completion on most repairs, (6) Convenient location with free parking. Plus, having your vehicle serviced here won’t void your manufacturer’s warranty – we use OEM or better quality parts and follow all factory service procedures.

Will servicing my car here void my warranty?

No! Federal law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) protects your right to have your vehicle serviced wherever you choose. As long as proper maintenance is performed according to the manufacturer’s schedule, your factory warranty remains valid. We use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or equivalent quality parts, and we maintain detailed service records. We’ll even email you a copy of your service records to keep for warranty purposes.

Do you perform state inspections or emissions testing?

Michigan does not require periodic vehicle safety inspections or emissions testing for most passenger vehicles. However, we do offer comprehensive vehicle safety inspections if you’re buying or selling a vehicle, or if you just want peace of mind about your vehicle’s condition. Our 150-point inspection covers all major systems and only costs $149.95. If you need emissions testing for out-of-state registration, we can refer you to certified testing facilities.

Can you fix my check engine light?

Yes! Check engine light diagnosis is one of our specialties. We use professional-grade diagnostic scan tools that can read all vehicle systems and provide detailed fault codes. We don’t just clear the light – we diagnose the root cause and fix it properly. Our diagnostic fee is $89.95, which includes a comprehensive scan of all computer systems and a written report of what we find. This fee is waived if you proceed with recommended repairs. Common causes include oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, mass airflow sensors, and EVAP system issues.

Do you offer fleet services for businesses?

Yes! We service many local business fleets including delivery vehicles, service trucks, company cars, and more. We offer fleet pricing, priority scheduling, detailed service records for each vehicle, and invoicing options. We can also set up preventive maintenance schedules to keep your fleet running efficiently and minimize downtime. We service fleets from 3 vehicles to 50+ vehicles. Contact us at (313) 543-3737 to discuss your fleet service needs.

What if I need parts that you don’t have in stock?

We maintain an extensive parts inventory for common repairs, but if we need a special part, we have relationships with multiple suppliers throughout Metro Detroit. In most cases, we can get parts same-day or next-day. For rare or specialty parts, it may take 2-3 business days. We’ll always let you know the timeline before starting work. We primarily use NAPA parts backed by their nationwide warranty, but we can also source OEM parts from dealerships when needed.

Can you work on modified or performance vehicles?

Yes! We have experience working on modified and performance vehicles including aftermarket turbo systems, superchargers, suspension modifications, performance exhaust, and ECU tuning. We can also perform routine maintenance and repairs on modified vehicles. However, we cannot perform emissions testing on vehicles with emissions equipment removed. If you have a custom or modified vehicle, call us to discuss your specific needs.

Do you rebuild engines or transmissions?

Yes, we perform both in-house engine rebuilds and transmission rebuilds. Engine rebuilds typically take 3-7 days depending on parts availability and the extent of work needed. We’ll provide a detailed estimate before beginning work. We also work with reputable remanufacturers if you prefer a factory-rebuilt unit. All engine and transmission work comes with our 24-month/24,000-mile warranty.

What should I do if my car breaks down?

If you’re broken down in the Metro Detroit area, call us at (313) 543-3737. We work with several local towing companies and can arrange towing to our shop. Towing costs vary by distance but typically range from $75-$150 within Metro Detroit. If you have AAA or other roadside assistance, you can have them tow your vehicle directly to our shop at 26612 7 Mile Road, Redford Township, MI 48240. We’ll diagnose the problem and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

Do you work on classic or antique cars?

Yes! We love working on classic and antique vehicles. Our senior technicians have decades of experience with older vehicles and carbureted engines. We can perform routine maintenance, troubleshooting, electrical work, brake service, and more. For specialty restoration work or hard-to-find parts, we work with several classic car specialists in the area. Call us to discuss your classic vehicle’s needs.

How often should I service my vehicle?

Most vehicles need an oil change every 5,000-7,500 miles (or every 6 months, whichever comes first). We recommend a comprehensive inspection every 10,000-15,000 miles. However, service intervals vary by vehicle, driving conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. When you bring your vehicle in, we’ll review your owner’s manual and create a custom maintenance schedule. We’ll also send you service reminders by email or text if you opt in.

Can you diagnose strange noises or smells?

Absolutely! Strange noises and smells are often early warning signs of problems. Common issues include: (1) Squealing noises – often brake wear indicators or belt problems, (2) Grinding noises – typically worn brakes or transmission issues, (3) Clicking noises – often CV joint problems, (4) Burning smell – could be clutch, brakes, or electrical issues, (5) Sweet smell – usually coolant leak, (6) Rotten egg smell – typically catalytic converter issues. Bring your vehicle in and our experienced technicians will diagnose the problem quickly.

Do you honor competitors’ coupons?

We don’t automatically honor competitors’ coupons, but we do offer competitive pricing and a price-match guarantee. If you have a written estimate from another licensed, insured repair facility for identical service using comparable parts, we’ll match or beat their price. We also offer our own special promotions throughout the year – check our website or call for current offers. Sign up for our email list to receive exclusive discounts.
