Comment: Ralph, the auto mechanic who worked on my truck, was extremely professional on the phone and when installing the necessary parts I needed to get me back safely on the road. In addition, he found a way fit me in to do the work immediately! Thank you so much!!

Comment: Over the years I have worked with many automobile repair facilities and must say this is one of the BEST! Until today have never used Lentz Auto Repair and I must say Ken has been absolutely AWESOME to work with. My daughter attends Grand Valley State University and had some heating issues with her car...this place rocks! Ken worked with her and was relentless in finding out what was wrong...thank you Ken and staff! We have a new go to car repair facility in Grand Rapids to use.

Comment: Lentz is my go-to car shop. Ken, the owner, is always extremely kind and provides very fair prices. I took my car to a random oil change place and they said I needed a new oil pan and it would be ~$1,000. I took it to Ken, who I trust, and he confirmed I needed a new oil pan. He completed it in a timely manner and it was only $770. GREAT GUY!!!

Comment: This is my main mechanic. I go to this shop for everything! Theyve always been very honest and upfront with prices and I havent once felt like Id been ripped off. I recently had a windshield wiper issue they had worked on previously and they managed to resolve it again free of charge. Very happy with this shop.

Comment: My Son dropped his entire exhaust system on Monday night. We went to drop the car off, and Lentz on Mich was already closed. I looked in and saw someone cleaning up and knocked on the door. Brian Small, the manager, opens up and let us drop the parts in the garage instead of leaving them outside. He was very friendly, and even thou it was late, he really made us feel important. The car was fixed the next afternoon, on price and on time. Thanks Brian.

Comment: Excellent customer service! Went in to get my Ford Escape checked out due to the engine overheating and Brian, the manager, explained to me exactly what he believed to be the problem and also looked into some additional issues I was concerned about. Super friendly and they dont talk down to you like other repair shops I have been too. Although they werent able to fix the problem in-house due to it being a Ford specific issue that can only be fixed at a dealership, they didnt even charge me for running the diagnostics tests. Ive been charged over $100 in the past just to have someone look at the car and tell me something I already know is wrong with it. Will definitely be taking my vehicle here for any future maintenance.

Comment: I recommend them to anyone. Good service, great customer service. Close to our house so can walk after a drop off. Been going for several years and always happy with price. Plus never waited more than 1 or 2 days to get vehicle back. My oldest has used them and she has been happy as well. Thank you, Lentz, for several years of satisfied service.

Comment: These days, its hard to find reasonable car servicing that doesnt put you in the poor house. I recently went to Lentz to have my leaking oil pan replaced and girded myself to pay a lot. Previously, I had been quoted at a competitor $400 just for the pan alone! Lentz replaced the pan and gave the car an oil change (with new filter) all for just under $500 - which included labor!Brian and the technicians there are super knowledgeable and always give it to you straight :)

Comment: Last Saturday was my 2nd service @ Lentz Michigan Street in 1 1/2 years with my 7 year old Nissan. I couldnt be more comfortable recommending a service garage. Manager Brian is easy to work with, communicates well particularly with estimates. He doesnt engage in upsell or oversell. Their work has been dependable and the pricing seems fair. I trust them.

Comment: Came in on a Sat morning with hopes that I could get someone to take a look at my car. Normally, I head to my dealership in the Lansing area for repairs, but I was worried because my maintenance light turned on. I walked in and met Brian, the manager, and he gladly said he was able to help me! Great customer service and friendly staff. So happy I could find a great auto repair shop that I can trust so close to where I live now!

Comment: After having costly front end repairs to my jeep at another repair shop, something was really wrong. I stopped in and was greeted by Brian, the manager. What a great guy, a true asset to Lentz, and to myself. Apparently the shop that overcharged me did not tighten new parts they installed. Without hesitation, they quickly tightened everything up. They also checked to make sure nothing was damaged. Needless to say, this is my new place for car repairs. Thank you Brian and Lentz.

Comment: Ive taken my 2007 Pathfinder here several times as its close to work. Everytime Ive been satisfied with the cost and the work but didnt think anything special of it. Last week I took my car in as I was told by the 10 minute oil change place that my oil sending unit needed repair as it was leaking. So off for repair it went. Fortunately it didnt end up needing any work - seems to have been a much easier fix and after some cleaning all was well. Im writing this as its not often you take your car in and they call to tell you it in fact doesnt need repair. For all the bad reputations auto repair places have I was very pleasantly surprised that they did not perform unneeded work and in fact that didnt even charge for the clean up work they had done. Will definitely be back for the next inevitable repair as well as will recommend to anyone who asks!

Comment: I brought my truck in for an oil change and inspection. Brian looked over my car and found a small problem that had been overlooked at the dealership in the past. Because it was under warranty he said I should take it there to have it looked over. When I did the dealership scoffed at the idea they could have missed something, but due to my persistence, they looked it over. Sure enough the exact problem he told me about was there and they had to repair it. They asked me how I found this issue and I told them that my mechanic found it. No question, if I need work, I would rather have Brian and the guys at Lentz look at it than anyone else. They do a great job, try dont over charge (considering he told me it was under warranty and to go get it fixed for free) and I would use them again in a heartbeat!

Comment: Wanted to express my appreciation for the great service we were given during a pre-vehicle inspection for a 2009 Chrysler Aspen on 10/23/2015. Brian and team pointed out all issues and things to take into consideration prior to purchasing the vehicle which helped with the purchase price negotiation. Service was prompt and very professional!

Comment: Ive been taking my car here since the Saturn/Suburban dealership shut down and I could no longer get my Saturn serviced there. Brian, the manager, is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Every time Ive called them Ive been able to get my car in that day, if not almost immediately after getting off the phone with them. Several times Ive taken it in for things that turned out to be small and he ended up not even charging me for them. He said Thats one of the perks of being manager--I can make decisions like that. :-) Another nice thing about their location is that the Grand Coney is right across the street so you can go grab a bite to eat or something to drink while youre waiting if you cant leave while your car is being worked on. And the best thing is that theyre only .2 miles from our house :-) Thank you Brian and crew for being there when people really need you.

Comment: Was having problems with my brakes on my car. Took my car to Lentz on Michigan street and the manager Brian and the guys were very friendly. They wrote me an estimate for the work that needed to be done and took me out to show me the problems that my car had. after looking at my car i could tell that it was unsafe to drive! They fixed my brakes in a timely fashion for a very reasonable price. I even called around to check there prices and they were one of the lowest. After leaving my brakes were 100% better!! those guys are great and i will always return. I also learned that they do full service repairs on almost every thing on the vehicle. I recommend Lentz for anybody that wants there vehicle fixed right the first time!!!!

Comment: I found their work high quality, and they were very honest and fair - safety was their first concern for the vehicle, and they did things right, and did not cut corners. They were very fair and laid out exactly what the vehicle need. I would highly recommend Lentz Automotive.
