Great service already scheduled my next appointment. Super clean well organized and I loved the email/text communication. Plus I got a free ride home and back while they did the work.

I came in to have some general maintenance done - the easy stuff was done properly as far as I can tell although Im not sure how much to trust it (AC Fix, Differential Fluid Change, and Fuel Filter Change - there might be a related whine coming from the rear diff now, but I cant say conclusively). I also knew ahead of time that I had an issue with my right front Engine Mount and I asked them to take a look. They told me I had a suspension issue or tire rubbing... which I knew was not the issue as I had already checked this. I went elsewhere to get work done and had the engine mount replaced which fixed the issue. This makes it harder to trust their work was done properly, when I had come in, correctly told them the issue with my vehicle, and they did not recognize it and instead recommend alternative work. Pretty expensive for some easy maintenance jobs I would do myself with a lift. Ive gone elsewhere for more work on my vehicle and will continue to go elsewhere. Im disappointed, because I expected this place to be better than most considering their reputation and experience with euro vehicles.

Fair price, punctual and attentive, work done accurately, and the chariot was washed upon completion. From beginning to end, a seamless experience and I WILL be back! Highly recommend ArborMotion to all my Euro-centric driving friends!

My husband and I were on a road trip to the east coast from Grand Rapids, and during torrential downpours just outside of AA, the windshield wiper on our BMW became stuck in the upright position. We frantically searched for German car specialist and with a hope and prayer pulled into ArborMotion. Despite being fully backed up with jobs, two guys were willing to have a peek and were able to quickly fix our issue. Ten minutes later we were on our way. They saved our bacon and we will not forget it!

I can not say enough good things about Arbor Motion. They were honest about the issues with my car and straight forward about the cost of repairs and they were very helpful suggesting options to pay for repairs. Sebastian and the staff were courteous and the mechanics are knowledgeable in what they do. I would highly recommend taking your car there if you want the truth about your car and good honest service.

Came to them to fix an axle seal leak and they didnt try to sell me on anything else and they let me choose any additional work I wanted done. They were quick, transparent and the costs were fair. They even washed my car when I came to pick it up!

The folks at Arbormotion know the European cars. They have a very slick interface for obtaining service and can handle the in process authorizations with ease. Better service here than at any dealership I have ever had. If you have a MINI Cooper in A2, then this is where your service should be done.

The service experience is exceptional at Arbor Motion. We have had our cars serviced there for over 15 years. The service technicians are top notch. Never been pressured to rush a recommended preventive maintenance service. I trust that my vehicles are provided with the best professional services to keep them at their best level of performance.

Great place to do business with. They perform quality work, on time and at a fair price. They even provide free loaners in some cases, they are older cars but you cant complain about a free loaner.

I have been taking my cars to ArborMotion for at least 10 years and they have consistently offered excellent and knowledgeable customer and mechanical service. They have never recommended service that I didnt need and have gone out of their way to save me money. I completely trust their advice and work and recommend them without reservation.

Review №21

Arbormotion does top quality work, communicates really transparently about each decision point, and seems to be really fair and honest with customers. I had my car towed to their shop unannounced after having accidentally put regular gas into a diesel car. Despite being booked weeks out, they began working on my vehicle, and it’s somewhat rare problem, almost immediately. It ended up taking a month for them to work through the issues, but mostly because I hadn’t scheduled ahead, plus they had to research the correct fix, and I told them it was my second car and I wasn’t in a hurry. Bringing this problem to Arbormotion was a great decision, and my 2004 Golf TDI is running as well or maybe even a little better than it has in years. I’ll never bring my cars to a dealer again, Arbormotion is great!

I trust my vehicle to Arbor Motion. My recent experience was as flawless as my previous service appointments. The facility is spotless, the staff professional, qualified diligent technicians and top notch equipment. I am very satisfied with the work performed and the overall experience.

Re
Review №24

Never get to talk to tech who works on car to find out how it faired in the process. Everything is electronic so when you get the bill thats more like a guy telling you without a printed invoice what it costs. Supposedly work on Lexus vehicles but notified me after having the car from 0800 through 1530 that they didnt have the part needed to open the transmission case for the drain and fill. They probably did all the work as described, but no way to really tell. Also, theyve never heard of filling out the vehicle maintenance log. Seems pretty basic mechanic stuff to fill out the log that belongs to the vehicle. Very disappointed in this shop.

Review №27

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They communicated with me well both in person and over the phone about what issues my car had. I was able to ask questions without feeling like they just wanted to get me out the door.Their site is easily navigated. Using the site to see what diagnosis had been made and being able to approve the repairs online was easy and convenient. All the costs were laid out in an easy to understand manner and i was able to get exactly what i needed done without feeling like i was being overcharged.They got the parts needed for the repair faster than i could have by ordering the parts on my own, and at a similar cost. Time to repair was minimal once they got the parts in. They had my vehicle ready to go in les than a day after they installed the new parts.

First time here and giving it the highest rating. Working with this company is a breath of fresh air for car service. I feel confident taking my used Volvo here and will return. Explained details of what to fix and what not to fix (as it didn’t need it) gave detailed report of car. I feel they want to keep my car going as long as I do and have a vested interest in my car. Not just my money! Great place!

The Arbormotion team was able to accommodate getting my E350 into their shop for a failing battery and A3 service interval, same day. They practiced safe pandemic drop-off and pick-up and exceeded my expectations of having the car ready at the end of the day. Sebastian and team do an outstanding job and I highly recommend them!

ArborMotion is setting an extremely high standard for auto service. I am impressed with their commitment to diagnose problems and provide feedback to the customer in specific and understandable terms. Most importantly ArborMotion does not give the customer any sense that they are trying to find excuses to charge you for more than is necessary. First class customer service on more than one occasion.

I started to have my 2012 Mercedes GL450 serviced by Arbormotion February of 2020. They have been able to service my cars every need since. I initially had repairs completed at Mercedes Benz of Ann Arbor & it felt as though I was being taken advantage of for similar repairs & maintenance to my vehicle. Im now spending significant less on service with Arbormotion & it feels great to have a trustworthy, friendly & professional auto repair service company take care of my vehicle. Theyre the best I know of in this area to service foreign base brands. Its been an awesome experience!

I took my Mini Countryman in to get the tires rotated, and see if Arbor Motion could figure out why the check engine light was on. This proved to take more time than originally scheduled, so I had the pleasure of driving a loaner car called Ernie for a few days:)My car is now fixed and the check engine light is off and she is running like a dream.I will be taking my Mini back to Arbor Motion when service is due.

Purchased new wheels and tires on Tire Rack and chose ArborMotion to have them installed and balanced. I dropped the car off the night before, and put my key in the secure lockbox with no worries of it being taken from the outside. I received a phone confirmation that my appointment was the next day as well. Then, on the day of the service they sent a confirmation email saying my car had been received. The service was done within 3 hours and the pickup process was just as smooth. Very professional service and would highly recommend!

I have been using ArborMotion for the 3 years that I have owned this Volvo. They know Volvos inside and out. They are taking the COVID precautions very seriously and are almost no-contact, having set up shields around the entrance to the shop. I felt safe working with them. I drive up from Toledo just for an oil change from them. It may be a little more expensive and a drive but it is worth it. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and customer orientated. As long as I own a Volvo I will be taking it to ArborMotion.

I had 40,000 mile maintenance on my 2018 Prius done at ArborMotion recently. This was not my first visit. I originally came to AM looking for an alternative to Dunning Toyota, which was awful. I received courteous and efficient service. The Bosch connection gave me confidence. I highly recommend this business. I have since recommended AM to my son, who has a Mazda. He was also very satisfied.

Arbor motion figured out something major going on with my 2018 SUV that the dealership couldnt figure out. They basically rebuilt the rear differential due to damage from having 2 different size tires that were put on my vehicle without my knowledge. They really listened to me and put all the pieces together to figure out what was wrong and repaired my SUV.

Arbor Motion has treated me and my cars so well over the past decade! They always give me clear, detailed information and provide their recommendations without ever being pushy.

They arent the cheapest place in town, but their service keeps my car running safety and sustainably, saving me money in the long run.

Review №80

I have only been there twice. Each time the customer service was great. Especially for a mechanic shop; no offense. Granted, my quote for repair was outrageous but what do expect when the car is a 2005? I only brought that up because I never once felt that were trying to nickle and dime me. They went through each and every quote, why is was that much, if its worth it to fix, if its a safety issue ...etc.(they emailed me through a handy portal mind you). Seriously. Everything they said over the phone supported exactly what I was feeling while driving the car. Why some things went and away and came back after previous repairs.Everything made sense and like I said, its a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid with a failing battery and failing transmission. Its time to get a new ride.

I pulled to have them look at a missing light bulb. Chuck, the man who waited on me, had me immediately pull into the bay. He examined the problem, and promptly fixed it. I was very pleased with the courteous service and the little time it took to get my problem fixed. So, I made an appointment to get an oil change and learned Id receive a $25 coupon as a new customer.

I could type quite a bit, but for brevity sake, I will say that they have excellent mechanics that work on my SUV and car.. And the service office personnel have been topnotch. I have a 2008 Porsche Cayenne that has almost 200,000 miles. My SUV is a road warrior. I use it for business, vacations, and everyday use. There have been a number of mechanical issues this year. I feel when there is an issue I can trust them to fix it the right way with integrity. I trust them to fix my vehicle at a fair price. As, a customer that is all you can ask.

I use Arbor Motion for all my automotive service needs. They treat my Volvo likes it was their own. All service is explained, and you never feel like they are trying to scam you into service you dont need. You can speak with a service advisor or your technician for clarification of the condition of your vehicle. Ease of communication in person, or via email makes for a very professional service from a great local business.I would recommend Arbor Motion to anyone.

Arbor Motion is one of only two places where I get my BMW serviced. They are very knowledgeable, courteous, and do outstanding work.

Review №97

I was referred to Arbor Motion by a colleague at work. Up until then I had been using Belle Tire for repairs and maintenance on my 2002 5 series BMW. I knew immediately that it would be a quality experience. Drew and Jason took a consultative approach, discussed various options with me and offered flexible alternatives on OEM parts. The technicians did an amazing job replacing my front struts and lower control arms. Since my first visit Ive had the car back for two minor repairs and Arbor Motions renowned detailing service. I cant imagine taking my vehicle anywhere else. I would highly recommend Arbor Motion to anyone but specifically to owners of European Luxury Sport Cars or Sedans and Japanese Luxury models. They have an excellent relationship with part suppliers and there techs are typically master certified on the particular models they specialize in (Volvo, BMW, Lexus, Porsche). Scheduling, shuttle service and on time completion of the work quoted are just a few of the attributes that encouraged me to write this review and recommend this business. Arbor Motion. 5 stars.

Arbor Motion completed a servicing of my BMW X3 yesterday and the work was excellent. But what really topped off my good experience is the work they had to do to obtain reimbursement on my behalf from a third party warranty service provider. Thanks Bobby. I recommend Arbor Motion highly.

Review №99

I called to ask for a quote on replacing a specific part and the man on the phone obviously didnt want to give me one. I said I understood that it could be more if they found other issues along the way and just wanted to to get a basic idea, but that didnt help. Finally I asked if it was unusual to ask for a quote and he said that it was. I asked if I should just call a different shop and he said that would be good and hung up on me. I suspect other reviewers are correct when they complain of high labor costs.

Ive been going to Arbor Motion for years. Although I now live an hour away, I still bring them my A6 for fast, thorough, and honest work. As a female whos not mechanically savvy, I never doubt their recommendations and many times Ill ask for a service and am told its not needed yet. Arbor Motion will continue to have my business.
