Customer Reviews & Stories

I have been going to Magnum Automotive for 10 years. They are fair and have kept my car running well. When the dealer said I needed a $3000.00 repair, Magnum looked more closely and told me I did not need to spend that money. That was 2 years ago and my car is still running well. This business can be trusted.

Great service and very wonderful people to work with! Our car broke down on a trip from North Dakota and Tim got us in and fixed up THAT day so we could head on our way back home. He squeezed us in even when they were busy. Tim was honest about repairs and showed us exactly what was wrong. :)

They provide really great service. I was in a situation where I was stuck and he went out of his way to make sure I got service properly and quickly. He made sure I was taken care of quickly. Good service.

I was going on a road trip to Michigan and brought my vehicle in for an oil change and asked them to look over the vehicle for the trip. They found that my belt tensioner needed to be replaced and also my water pump bearing. They showed me the parts and got the repairs done quickly and I had a worry free trip thanks to Tim and Magnum Automotive.

Inspected the used vehicle I'm considering purchasing free of charge. They took it for a drive, and even put it up on the lift and let me have a look under the car for myself. That's earns them a good mark in my book.

I've been going to Tim since I moved to the area. He has fixed some challenging problems with my car and has also worked on my husband's car. He is very concerned about getting everything fixed the first time. He knows his customers are looking for a fair price and he provides that. He is honest and if I'm in trouble with my car I know I can count on him.

Personal service at its best! Gets the works done right the first time. Honest and reliable work. Reasonable prices too.

Always do my oil changes and regular maintenance here.

I took my vehicle in to get an oil change and asked them to look it over because I was travelling to Upper Michigan in few days. They saw that my belt tensioner and pully needed replacement and were surprised that I was able to drive the vehicle there for oil change. During the repair they also noticed that the water pump bearings were bad. They showed me all the parts so I could see what was wrong. While I wasn't happy about the extra expense for repairs, it beats the costs of being broken down on the road in the middle of nowhere. I trust Tim and Magnum Automotive and thank them for being vigilante and catching the problems so I could have a worry free trip. Top notch all around.

Tim is great! He is honest and trustworthy and has helped me out of jam on many occasions! I recommend him to all my friends and would take my car to no one else (learned that lesson the hard way!). Finding a mechanic you can trust is hard to find and I am so thankful to know Tim! Don't let his gruff tone fool you, he is very caring and a softy on the inside :)

We have been bringing our cars to Magnum for a few years now, and we are very satisfied. They are honest, hard-working, attentive, and fair. I used to go to a fancier place, but I would never go back, as long as Magnum is around. I am personally aware of the moral integrity of the owner, Tim, and would recommend him to anyone.

We have used Magnum Auto for many years. The owner has always been honest and up front regarding cost and time frame of repairs. I highly recommend Magnum Auto!

Car could not be tested by the "clean air team' because something was in he way preventing them from getting a reading. That problem was addressed. Also had a timing belt replaced. This is a big job which was taken care of throughly and at a fair price. I have complete faith in this shop, its owner and his integrity.

My car battery was dead during my trip to Chicago. After waiting 3 hours for a roadside assistance provided by Progressive, my car was driven to Magnum Automotive. I did not know the place but I saw the references in google maps. And I have to say that they were fair with the Tim's business. He was really kind, he checked my car immediately and he showed me the approximate cost. He suspected the alternator was broken and he made a price estimation. After a proper car inspection just a small piece was broken, and although he already order a new alternator, he was fair and he did not replace it, just the metallic piece. Finally, the new repair price was down and I could make my trip the same day. I really appreciate that.

Problems with car? Don't spend your time and money in other shops trying to figure out what's wrong with it. Ask for Timothy, 20 plus years experience in car repair. Saved me a lot of money, strongly recommend
