The staff and owner are extremely nice and accommodating. The shop is VERY clean! Thanks so much for knowing how to treat your customers. I wish more businesses would take a page out of your book! I rarely give 5 stars on reviews, but Goddard Auto Repair deserves it!

The prices are reasonable. I just had my state inspection done here. They passed my car and gave me honest, helpful feedback on upcoming maintenance. Thanks so much guys!!

I cant express enough how amazing this place is. My family and I are returning costumers and they treat us like family. Great work and better prices. These guys are amazing!

Eddie and his team were able to get me in right and had my car fixed within a couple of hours. They charged me a very fair price on parts/labor and provided excellent customer service. If you’re looking for a trustworthy auto repair shop (which we all know is hard to find), look no further.

Took my car for no start and battery drain problem 13 weeks later and 900 bill battery still dead every morning although they did get car to start Owner is polite although he complained about time he spent on it.13 weeks is a long time to wait and car not fixed. Do not take your car here for electrical problems.

If I could have gave it a zero I would.After spending $1,700I they still have not fixed the problem. They seem to have no clue what there doing. They changed my timing chain and I dont think it needed to be done.took back changed the throttle body another300 dollors, still doing samething. Total Incompetence,They should be sued for that s***

The Best auto repair shop in the state of Michigan

Honest, reliable and straight forward. Reasonable prices for services and you get name brand parts not recycle/off beat brands.

My new auto shop. Got me in and out on good Friday for a break job. Give Doug a call. Thank you Doug. I highly recommend.

The owner of the shop his name is Doug really text real good care of his customers and very reasonable

Food was so good...Me n my two kids love crab...

I took my car into their shop for a headlight wire short, took them 5 inconvenient days just to diagnose the issue and replaced a $10 headlight socket. After they raised my initial price 2 times once without ever consulting me. 5 days, $300 dollars, & a migraine later. I have a headlight that works again. Horrible customer service, extremely rude & inconvenient. If you require any of these values, look no further than this back water shop.

Honest, Friendly, you can expect timely and great work.

I will only use him from now on.

Love these guys. They have always taken care of the problems reasonably priced too.

Once again outstanding service and the price was quite fair! Highly recommended!

Doug and his crew does amazing job wouldnt trust anyone else with my cars.

Doug is amazing! He will always be honest about whats wrong with your car and even if he thinks its worth fixing. Hell never try to sell you something just to make a buck. And when your car is fixed you know its actually fixed. My husbands Grandma has been going here pretty much since they opened and we never take our cars anywhere else even if we know hes busy and cant get to it right away. I honestly would go without a car for a week before taking it somewhere else.

Finance manager was the best abs made my purchase worry free. And my salesman was very patient.

Work was done great but wish they would of communicated better. My vehicle was there for a week a half.

Any type of car repair is expensive. Unless you have the knowledge and time to fix it yourself, dont complain about price when you take it to a shop. Doug spent a lot of time on customer service. He kept great communications on every step of my cars problems, quoting prices on parts and labor. Showed me what was fixed, showed me the parts removed etc. The money I spent at this shop was well spent. I would take any of my vehicles here again, and feel confident that if there are any issues with the work I had done, they would be helpful in solving it.

Always fair and quality service

Called this place last week about a small problem with the car. Person on the phone was honest and let me know it would probably be Monday before they could get to it. So I made an appointment for monday, first thing, instead.Showed up early, and was welcomed as soon as I hit the door.Work only took a couple of hours and I am so pleased with how nice everyone is. I also got to meet a great doggo! Would recommend this place 100%. Will do business with them again in the future

If you need QUALITY, HONEST, AND GREAT WORK this is the place to go! Doug is a great guy and works with you the best he can. He is a VERY HONEST man and that is very rare now days. This is the only place I take my cars to get worked on and I never have the same problem twice because its fixed right the first time. Go there for your next repair, you wont regret it.

So my dad took his car to Goddard Auto whenever he had issues with it. Well when he got a new car he gave me his old one. About a month after I had it the back breaks went and needed to be replaced. I called my dad and asked him what to do. He told me to call Doug and take it in to them. I figured my car would be gone for days and that it would be super expensive but I was surprised that it was not at all. It was reasonable price wise and they only had my car for a few hours. I was impressed. Well the next day my car was making a terrible sound and so I called Doug and told him what it was doing, he said it sounded like one of the calipers was faulty. I told him I did not feel safe driving it out to him as it was dark and I have 2 small children. He told me no problem, not only did he send a tow truck to get it, but fixed it and I never had an issue with it after that. They are just a wonderful company and good people in general. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Doug and his crew have been working on my and my familys cars for years now, and when I lived in Ohio Id still drive up for maintenance - that says a lot! He is very honest and I totally trust his opinion. You know he isnt just trying to upsell you and hes never done a shoddy job on repairs. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love the people here and the service they provide. Everyone is so knowledgeable and genuine, definitely make you feel like family. ♥️

Family owned and operated, great place to go. Highly recommend them to everyone.If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Do yourself a favor and go here for all of your automobile repairs. Family owned and operated, and Dougs dog Banner is awesome!!!

I moved to the area last year and Ive come to Goddard Auto Repair twice since my move. Both times I have been treated with respect and amazing service. The staff is super friendly and they were quick with getting my car back to me.

Honest service, clean facility, fair pricing. Good family owned local business.

I learned about Goddard through word of mouth and began trusting them with a lemon car I unfortunately made the mistake of purchasing. When your knowledge of cars is limited, you turn to a mechanic to fill in the gaps to ensure you dont end up stranded and remain safe. Doug does a decent job with some basic repairs but when it comes to the more intricate repairs... be prepared to be frustrated with him. He charged me $100 for an engine diagnosis that he never actually diagnosed (no refund was offered). Often times you find yourself waiting for repairs much longer than you feel you should have to and often their excuse was they were busy. For a while I accepted their excuses (when I shouldnt have) until this happened. I took my car to him after my wheels had difficulty moving anytime I accelerated after it had been idle. After days waiting (and many inconveniences getting to work) he claimed it was the fuel pump. He later changed his diagnosis to it being wiring connected to the pump instead. He eventually gave my car back to me with a few fixings done and several hundred spent in the process. Within 5 minutes of leaving his lot my vehicle experienced the exact same issues I addressed to him. Before I could even turn back around, I was soon left stranded. I had the car towed back to him and had to wait ONCE AGAIN for yet another diagnosis. He called me back days later to inform me that the issue was the transmission. He wanted to charge me $2100 (parts + labor). His reasoning: he did not know how to replace the transmission and needed extra time while he read over an instruction manual. I suggested a discount for the inconvenience, he refused. I then took it to a transmission shop but not before he charged me $100 for a tow truck I should never have had to purchase to begin with (if he did the job right the first time). The transmission shop I took it to charged me only $1300 (nearly half of what Doug wanted to charge) and they got the job done within the day the part arrived at their place. Since then, I now get most of my work done at Elite Kar Care. They get repairs done within the deadlines you request from them and they give you a list of your cars issues without asking, free of charge. Skip Goddard and his training manual and head over to Elite Kar Care, you wont be disappointed!

Have been going to this place for almost 20 years. Very trusted & respectable owner & workers.

After dealing with GAR for 10 years, this is the only place I trust to do my auto repairs. I wont even go anywhere else for a simple oil change anymore. Since I always drive older cars, I need a lot of repairs. Ive found Doug always goes out of his way to try to get me the best price possible and the work is always done right the first time. Just once in all these years I had one complaint and they immediately made it right by getting my car back in and making other repairs at no cost to me. If you like getting lied to and raked over the coals on repairs, by all means, go somewhere else. But if you like your mechanic to be honest, up front, and knowledgeable, go to Goddard. There is a reason their lot is always full!

Owner is wonderful and honest about your repairs. Will not try to sell you on something you dont need done. Good prices too.

Doug and his team have always treated us good.

Ridiculously high prices did not get any work done there!!!

I have known Chuck since I was 22 and that has been over 45 years.He and his son, Doug, have been the most honest and reliable peopleI know in the auto business. If ever you need help just call them.Sincerely, Sandi from Michigan

I mean a girl at a shop we are talking high prices lol but Doug never steered me wrong he never cared about the money cause he gets the money no matter what.. he has helped me and to me as a woman i feel like i can trust him like hey tell me whats wrong ..lol .. good guy by far best around ..thanks doug .. you have helped me and my family so much .. u will never know

HONEST GOOD WORK

Goddard Auto Repair is the absolute best auto repair shop Downriver. I took my 1999 Olds Aurora to them because the dealer couldnt get it right. They repaired it first time and saved me over $1000, If you need your car repaired I highly recommend that you only go see Chuck and Doug over at Goddard Auto Repair.

Too busy to help when I was actually broke down across the street

The owner, Doug is mannerable, friendly, and reasonable and fair!, in pricing!!!

They have worked on my whole familys cars and do excellent work and has never scamed me my jeep is in there now for a new engine would recommend this shop to anyone

Reliable mechanic, owner provides honest communication with Customer but pricey repairs.

I honestly dont take my vehicles anywhere else but here. Theyre honest and have always taken good care of me and my vehicles!

Best car repair shop in Taylor!!! The owner is my neighbor and he is the BEST MECHANIC & FRIENDLY, FAST SERVICE EVERYTIME!!!!!

Been going here almost exclusively for years, they are honest and very capable. In my estimation, you cant go wrong with them

My father broke down on his way home to Mt Clemens from my home Kalamazoo on at Vinning Road on 94, Sunday night. AAA towed the first 5 miles for free, we wanted to keep the cost down so I looked for shops in the area of where his car was. Goddard was 9 miles away so I had it towed there, so glad I did, Today is Wednesday and hes already getting his car back, and he cant say enough good things about the owners, while neither of us are from the area, I will always recommend this shop to people who are.

Great, honest service!

Always ready to help.

The time on here says they open at 7 a.m along with the time on the voicemail. Went out of my way to go here because of the time they open and when i arrive at 7:30 the doors locked and they are closed.

Excellent

Nice place the guys know there stuff

Trust worthy staff.

Only one that repairs my vehicles.

They do a good job.

Excellent work excellent service

Their prices are way too high quoted me 800To install a transmission all other shops were quoting me around $550 labor...

Outstanding service and quality workmanship

Gives one price and then raises it
