Called about a horrible rattling my car started and they fit me in the next day! Very appreciative for that and got lucky it was a straightforward fix.
After the dealership recommended repairs totaling more than the value of the car, I brought my mother-in-laws car here. They not only did the necessary repairs quickly (same day turnaround for complete exhaust replacement) and for far less, they also showed that the dealership had blatantly lied with some of their recommendations. Will definitely be back when we need more work done.
Detroit Auto Clinic is the only mechanic I have gone to since moving to Cleveland and I am impressed each time. Not only is the location very convenient with working downtown, but Josh is always so kind, honest, communicative and completes the repairs very quickly for a very good price. I highly recommend Detroit Auto Clinic and wont be going anywhere else as long as Im in the area.
I’ve been going to Detroit Auto Clinic for years. Josh and Gil are great. Always prompt service. I definitely recommend them.
They replaced my battery and alternator and it was a very quick service! Josh was super nice and patient the entire time. My car runs great and I haven’t seen any problems since. Will definitely be going back if I have any future car problems:)
Josh was a pleasure to talk with and can tell he knows his stuff. He got my car in immediately and it was fixed and ready to go within 24 hours. Excellent service, I will only be taking my car here for service from now on.
I was very impressed with Detroit Auto Clinic! I had my front brakes/rotors replaced and felt well taken care of even though they were busy. I definitely recommend them for quality work, fair price, good communication, honest and friendly service!
Very satisfied with our first experience for brakes and drive shaft repairs on our 2004 Lexus RX. Josh was great to work with and gave us a fair and reasonable price for repairs. Car was ready right in time to drive to Boston and it was smooth sailing all the way! Happy and grateful!
Great customer service! Job was done in a timely manner. Go there for all our auto repairs.
Best customer service out there but most importantly, their work and punctuality are top notch!! Prices are extremely fair... Remember anywhere you go, you will get what you pay for!! Detroit Auto Clinic have worked on 3 of my cars: 2008 Grand Marquis, 2006 Audi A6 Avant Off-road Wagon and 2015 Ford Taurus, so dont matter if they are domestic or foreign... They know what they doing!!
Josh and the team at Detroit Auto clinic were amazing! Despite not wanting to guarantee that my repairs would be done same day Josh clearly worked diligently to return my vehicle to me before he closed up on Saturday. If you drive a Volkswagen, I highly recommend Detroit Auto Clinic as Josh is incredibly knowledgeable and will do amazing work.
This place exceeded my expectations of a mechanic shop. Very professional, always communicate with me about details of vehicle status. Prices were reasonable for my budget. Highly recommended. It can be hard getting good work done but this is the place to come! Josh is very professional. He really appreciate veterans. I had my time and chains go out on my VW passast my car rides great without any problems.
Had a great experience with Josh. My exhaust had broken in several spots and I needed new pipes bent, a new muffler, and new flanges. I stopped by and was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. The work looks good and the price was even better. They even contacted me a few days after to make sure I was happy with the work. I will absolutely be using Detroit Auto Clinic in the future.
I had never gotten my car serviced in Cleveland before so I looked online and found the Detroit Auto Clinic. I called Josh and was able to bring my car in the next day. I was having some issues with my car shaking, so I suspected that it was bad brakes but was unsure. I asked Josh if he could do a full check up on my car. I got a really nice breakdown, including pictures and videos, that listed everything in need of maintenance. The outcome was that my suspension parts and brakes needed replacement. Josh is a very professional and knowledgeable mechanic. I think he did a really great job on my car and it’s running smoother than it has in the last 6months! I would recommend this auto clinic to any friends and family in the area! If anything ever happens to my car again, I know that I would take it there!
Work was done sooner than given date. Work was awesome. Owner was professional and needed help. Would recommend if wanting body work at great price.
I was having a loud creaking sound and took it in. Ended up being the control arm. They fixed it and had it done by the end of the day and did not overcharge me. It’s running great and I have peace of mind that my car is safe. We take both of our cars here bc we can always count on quality work.
Josh and the folks at Detroit Auto Clinic were great! Great customer care, quality service and repairs with competitive pricing. Left satisfied and feeling I wasn’t gouged for unnecessary repairs. Cars running quiet and smooth, definitely will be a return customer.
First time going here and it was a great experience. Josh was the man. Fixed my exhaust and did an oil change for a great price, but more importantly, he noticed a future muffler issue I was going to face and since the muffler was back ordered by six weeks, he ordered it on his own dime just so it’s in stock if I ever needed it. Thats how you win business for life.
Got my rotors and brake pads replaced by Josh and his team. My car is running great and the price was very reasonable. Will definitely be returning for future maintenance. Thank you again!
Inhad no heat and needed in on a Saturday, Josh took my car in that morning and fixed it right up. I highly recommend them.
Josh was great to work with. They got my car right in and got repair work done in a timely fashion. The prices are fair and they do good quality work. He even checked on me afterward to make sure everything was going well. Excellent customer service!
Fast service. Honest. Very fair pricing.(I thought)Edit: Car was brought in for air conditioning.Had it recently recharged somewhere else and it didnt last.Told Detroit there was a leak in the system somewhere.They checked, couldnt find the leak.Recharged the system, added a dye.Charged $80.Guaranteed it for a year.Brought it back in a few weeks, same issue.Was told that they found the leak, and the hose is discontinued.So am out $80 with no AC.If they couldve found the hose the first time I brought it in, and told me it was discontinued....Id still have no AC...but Id have my $80.In short it cost me almost $100 for them to tell me they couldnt fix what I brought it in for.Earth. Gotta love it.
Josh was very communicative and knowledgeable. He was up front with his prices and did not push for extra costs. I had not had the funds for my o2 sensor repair so he let me know the urgency of getting them replaced and what to expect. A much better experience that the Firestone I was previously going to where they added on costs and took a long time without addressing anything. I’ll be coming back!
I brought it in my ‘03 Odyssey for a bearing noise and a good look-over. Josh gave me prices up front. They found 2 bad bearings and a leak in my fuel line. Work was done in a day and they even gave me a better price on a part in stock. Great job and service
Josh and his team are great to work with and very professional. They worked on my ABS light as well as my brakes and each time the services were handled reasonably and affordably. Would recommend 10/10
Josh got me in quickly, worked around my schedule, and got my car back to me fast. He was upfront about suspected issues, fixed it, and I was charged accordingly and reasonably. I even received a follow-up text which was appreciated. I will likely be returning for any future car needs.
Josh was excellent. He spent a lot of time with me walking me through tire options and pricing. I felt like he cared and wasn’t trying to get the most money he could out of me, which is what I’ve experienced before at other places. They replaced all four of my tires and changed my oil within just a few hours. Very satisfied and will definitely be returning!
Brought my car in because I knew something was wrong. Josh was very knowledgeable and found that the issue was a coolant leak that had gone undetected for over a year. Very reasonably price and speedy service. Going to recommend this shop to all of my friends from this point forward. Very kind and great customer service!
Gilbert, Josh, and all the other guys at Detroit Auto Clinic are great at what they do! Down to earth, professional, helpful, no nonsense, reasonable and quick. They have helped me with work on at least my last three vehicles. After my mechanic brother got sick and later passed, Gilbert stepped up and kept my vehicle on the road and safe! In the last 4 or 5 years I have not hesitated to send all my co workers and others to his shop for work. I highly recommend them!!!
I had AAA tow my car here as one of my brake lines had rotted and my brakes did not work at all, scary! It turns out all 9 of my brake lines needed to be replaced. They got the job done quickly and my car is good as new! I highly recommend this mechanic.
Always very professional and great communication at Detroit Auto Clinic. I have been going to them for over a year and have always been more than pleased with the work. And the pricing is always fair.
When I brought the car in I was told it might take a couple of days (that was probably worse case scenario). Next thing I know it was done the same day. I brought it in the morning around 9am , and it was done the same day by 5:00 - 5:30pm. Quick , quality work. I would definitely recommend Detroit Auto Clinic & Muffler to family , friends , and associates.
My family has used Detroit Auto clinic for 7 yrs now. In that time we started with Gilbert taking care of my family safety with our vehicles. Now Josh is taking care of us and my families safety. Their prices are spot on or below the average every time. Never have they tried to give reasons to fix somethibg that wasnt broke and have actaully not charged us before for a minor fix. If you need great service and fairness then Detroit Auto Clinic is your place.
I’ve been going to Detroit Auto Clinic since I moved to the neighborhood. Gilbert and Josh have both been very helpful and thorough - and they always answer whatever questions I have and make the different options for various issues and repairs really clear. I really appreciate how prompt, reliable and communicative they both are - and I love having a locally owned and run shop I can trust.
Gilbert and his team always do an excellent job. They do an excellent and thorough job, with a quick turnaround time and very reasonable pricing. I have a higher mileage car (about 200k miles) and have brought it in for simple repairs and checkups, to more complex issues, and have always had a positive and impressive experience. If you’re on the fence about going to Detroit Auto Clinic for car service, I would absolutely recommended giving them a call.
Very happy with the repairs to my car. Josh was also very friendly and accommodating to my schedule. He hung out with me and my dog for a few minutes at drop off. Very welcoming environment.
This was my first experience with Detroit Auto Clinic, and they came highly recommended from other friends.I will no longer take my vehicles anywhere else then Detroit Auto Clinic.From dropping off my vehicle, to picking it up after repairs, I received professional, courteous and efficient service from Josh.
I’m a satisfied customer as long as the service is done correctly and completed when I’m told it will be done. Detroit Auto Clinic provided a great experience having repairs completed on my vehicle. Scheduling was easy and readily available, friendly service, and didn’t break the bank. Most importantly the issue was resolved. Will not hesitate to call again for future needs.
Its a good sign when the mechanic drives the same car as you! Took my 1989 Volvo 240 here a few weeks ago because of a pretty bad vibration at highway speeds. Josh and Gilbert were super quick with a diagnosis and fix and I had my car back the next day. They were friendly, easy to talk to, and were super helpful with advice on repairs I was doing myself and pointed me towards some rad community resources for parts and help. Absolutely going here again next time I touch something I shouldnt on the car and need help from people who actually know what theyre doing.
Ive taken my vehicle here since I can remember, now living several hours away I still take my car here because they charge fair prices and the mechanics are very knowledgeable. I wont take my car to the generic big name shops anymore after discovering Detroit Auto Clinic, simply due to the honesty of the workers and they are upfront with you on what you actually need rather then most places try to upsell you on everything. The owner once sat in my car with me to see what was wrong with my E-brake, and free of charge he resolved the problem that same day. Genuine honesty is why I keep coming back.Would highly recommend
Josh was great! Friendly, straightforward, quick service, and affordable.
Having major car repair is a stressful experience for anyone, but Josh and his team helped relieve the stress and did a great job through the entire process. They helped me talk through my options and then completed the work in a timely manner and reasonable price. Will do business here again.
Fantastic service excellent pricing knowledgeable staff, highly recommend for big or little repairs!
A few years ago (I think 2017), my car was needing to be jumped every time to start. I took it to a place that said I needed a new transmission that would cost 1k+. I took it somewhere else to get a 2nd opinion and they said the same thing. Luckily, my friend with a dad who teaches auto tech advised me to get a 3rd opinion, so I went to Detroit Auto Clinic. They told me all I needed was a new battery, which ended up saving me over $500. Car has worked fine ever since, which Im so grateful for because I dont know how I would have been able to afford a new transmission back then! Also, at that time, they had a female mechanic who was the one who ended up giving me the less expensive diagnosis--I thought it was super cool to see female mechanic representation! Idk if she still works there, but I hope so! Now, 4 years later, I am planning to come back here in the spring to repair my A/C :)
I have been taking my cars to Gilbert and Josh for almost 8 years. Their service and most of all their repair prices are incredible. I save almost half of what the dealer charges. This is a no frills place in the greatest sense. I usually Uber over to Gypsy Coffee at 65th and Detroit or my fav place, Brewnuts to wait. Cost of Ubering doesn’t matter because Detroit’s prices are so incredibly low. No loaner cars. Then they just call or text me when car is ready and I Uber back and marvel at how much less they are than the Dealer or other shops! Thanks, guys!!!
Josh at Detroit Auto Clinic is the man. He diagnosed and repaired my car quickly and was able to work within my budget. I have used DAC for bigger and smaller jobs and have always received excellent service at a competitive price.
Had muffler, catalytic converter replaced and he fixed the battery light which was an issue with an alternator. And he got it done pretty quick.
Ive been getting my car repairs here for a few years. Ive called around for services I need and DAC prices are always lower. Took my mothers car to them because the service she needed was almost $300 less than her regular mechanic. They do quality work and I never had to wait more than a few hours. Other shops have tried to take advantage but I never felt that way with Gilbert and his staff. Now I dont even bother getting estimates from other shops I go right to DAC. Quality work, prompt service, no frills or BS!
Iv been having a difficult time with my heat in my car this year. After taking it to a mechanic closer to me, I was quoted about 1200$ to get it all working. Replacing things that didn’t need to be replaced. So instead I called around and found this place. Josh was great. He found exactly what was wrong with my heat, fixed it for basically nothing and walked me through every step, and telling me the price point the whole way. I felt like he was honest with me, and wasn’t trying to get me to spend more money than needed. He was honest with what was the issue on my car instead of throwing his hands up in the air and saying “let’s replace everything!”. He saved me a lot of money and I was grateful for all his help!
I’ve had many years of experience with various auto repair shops. Detroit Auto Clinic far exceeded the status quo. I worked specifically with Josh, who was professional, courteous, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated the quality, timeliness and affordability of their work and service so much that I took my other car in for them to have a look at it as well.I would highly recommend Detroit Auto Clinic to anyone in need of a fair, proficient, friendly car repair shop!
Took my car in to get one thing fixed, as usual multiple other things were wrong with my car. Josh was incredible and walked me through each detail breaking down the price. I called other auto shops to compare pricing and Detroit Auto Clinic had the best prices! Not only that but the customer service was spectacular! I highly recommend this auto shop for good prices, quick fix & great customer service. Thanks again!
The folks here are very communicative and friendly. I got a quick response to my question using Facebook chat and was able to get my car in quickly for an inspection. Prices for my new brake pads and rotors and new battery were reasonable and the work was done quickly.I had hesitated to find a new go to mechanic after The Lusty Wrench closed, but I think Ive found my cars new Primary Care Provider.
I had a terrible flat tire that shredded. I called Josh at Detroit Auto Clinic and he was so helpful and put me at ease immediately. He ordered my new tire and had me up and running again in no time. Then, he followed up with me a few days later to be sure all was well with the work performed. You just cant beat that kind of attention. Pam Dayner, Detroit Shoreway resident for 25 years.
This guy is great. The price on the work was significantly cheaper than anywhere else I called, AND the car feels great. I got my front struts done. This is definitely my new go-to.
If anyone have issues with their car, I highly recommend Detroit Auto Clinic. Gilbert and his workers a great job of keeping you updated on whats going on. They give you fair and honest pricing, and will even recommend what you should take care of first. They care about your safety as well. They redid the brake lines on my Blazer and replace the u-joint. My truck drives great now. If you have issues give Gilbert a call!
This place is a hidden gem. My car is an 06 escape and always has problems here and there but Josh and company continue to keep her alive. Best place in all of Cleveland. Id trust them with any car.
Josh and team were awesome to work with! Got me in right away and completed all my work without any issues. Made sure I got the best new tires for the price and now my car is winter ready and reliable again! Thanks!
These guys are great! I have been meaning to write a review since way back in January, but I am the worst. I needed new tires for a Mazda(so expensive always) and they found a great price for me and looked at a couple of other odd things that were going on with my car and gave me some good advice as to what to deal with first. I was worried about the overall cost and I did a finance deal with them which made it far less stressful. I have spotty credit and still was approved, so there is hope for you if you need a bigger job done. I will definitely be back for maintenance soon. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable, I am so glad to know that they are in my neighborhood. Check them out!
I’ve been using Detroit Auto Clinic for years! They are very dependable and affordable. They always make me feel valued as a customer. They work pretty quickly too. Give this place a try—you won’t be disappointed!
Josh is friendly and helpful, will work around your schedule and get you driving again quickly. Top notch work that you can count on. They even offer financing if you need it. I wouldnt take my car anywhere else!
As a person who usually tries to work on my own vehicle for cost and piece of mind (knowing it got done right); I would definitely suggest detroit auto clinic. They are fairly priced and did god quality work on time. Very trustworthy and reliable.
I have been a satisfied customer for years. Gilbert and his team have treated me honestly and have performed reliable work on my vehicles.I recently had to call AAA to tow my car to the shop. The AAA technicians—who have experience with all the shops around town—made it a point to tell me how highly they think of Detroit Auto Clinic because they do quality work at fair prices. I couldn’t agree more!
Gilbert, Josh and the rest of the staff are very personable and do great work. Brought my car in because it was making loud grinding noises and they were able to fix and give back to me same day at a reasonable price. Will definitely continue doing business with them.
Josh is great! Hes professional, thorough, and an all around nice person! I went because of all the great google reviews and was not disappointed!
I absolutely love this business. Josh is the best. I cant see myself taking my car to any other auto shop. Detroit Auto Clinic for life.
The best in town! They are knowledgeable and professional. Prices are reasonable and quality is excellent. I have been bringing my car here regularly for years and have never had a bad experience. In fact, this is the only shop I know of where they actually will talk you out of repairs that are unnecessary or not cost effective. There is a reason Detroit Auto is top-rated on Angies list! I recommend this shop to all my friends and they, too, are very satisfied.
Ive been going to Detroit Auto Clinic for almost ten years. Gilbert and his team have built a lot of trust over that time, consistently offering helpful and practical advice, often offering lower cost solutions than I had envisioned. They do great work quickly, and my twelve-year-old car is still running like new.
I found this place because of a google review a year is so back. Very friendly, affordable but also honest!! They diagnose your car and call you with details before they work on things. One of the first things I was impressed about; (before COVID) they drove in the car with me to hear the sound before they looked under the hood. Something super old school that mattered to me. Check them out!
They were able to squeeze me in last minute. Amazing customer service! Called me to update me on what was going on and to let me know when my vehicle was finished! Very friendly and you couldn’t beat the price
Even though this looks like a hole in the wall kind of place, I was thoroughly impressed with their work, speed, and price. I usually don’t trust mechanics, as they always try and fix every little thing that doesn’t need fixing, but Josh showed me what I need to fix right now and what can wait a while which I really appreciated. One of the best mechanics I’ve been to. Would highly recommend!
These guys are hands down the best! They go above and beyond. I had an emergency issue with my brakes and they were able to see me the same day and even went as far as getting me a ride at the end of the day so I can pickup my car in time to have it for work the next day. On top of all that, they gave me a great deal! A shop I can trust.
I’ve gotten my car repaired here 3 times they were always quick to check out my car. And the prices were very reasonable. They even took my back into the shop to show me exactly what they were going to do.
Never have I had an easier and upfront experience at any other repair shop. First time being here where it will certainly not be my last. Josh was awesome and got my car back to health fast. I honestly thought it was going to be a whole day job (hole in my exhaust pipe which needed to be welded). I dropped it off at 8:30AM where I got a text at 11:00AM stating it was completed. Did a great job! Definitely will be back in the future.
My prior mechanic shop of thirty years closed and I was referred to Detroit Auto Clinic by a downtown electrical auto system specialist. I could not have been happier with the prompt replacement of my original battery on my 2016 Ford Focus and the overall check on my battery/starter/alternator system. Cold and wet this past weekend and the car sat outside, but started and ran like new on Monday morning thanks to Detroit Auto Clinic’s prompt, courteous, and thorough service for a very fair price. I am a grateful new customer and will go back there for any future needs on either of our two cars.
The reviews dont reflect this business. Its dishonest business. Took a 4runner into a Toyota dealership and got a list of parts that were worn out and needed to be replaced along with some fluids. Took it to Detroit auto clinic for inspection and they said nothing was wrong and just took the inspection money. Just another poorly ran low end mechanic shop.
I am so thankful to have discovered Detroit Auto Clinic! They are beyond accommodating of last-minute issues, very communicative and offer realistic, reasonable solutions. They will not sugar-coat bad news, if it comes to that. I especially appreciate their dynamite follow-up care. Theyre so helpful and understanding!
Pandemic insanity, brakes on vehicle failing fast, no one has openings for weeks (as in more than 14 days) but Detroit Auto is there for you. Fast efficient, reliable...and most importantly, your neighbor, right there where you live. If that is not enough to convince you that your neighbor is the guy to call instead of some chain in the burbs, how about the experience of working with a nice guy. Still not enough? How about a guy who will check everything out but not for purpose of selling you what you dont need? Lets review: fast, reliable, pro work + your neighbor located right where you are + nice guy + trustworthy = Detroit Auto.
Gilbert is a very sincere and honest guy. He inspected my car and even dropped the fee for me to keep me as a happy customer. Later he performed a very speedy wheel alignment. His workers are also very professional. Last summer he fixed my AC and he did a wonderful job. Over all they are very helpful and with good attitude. I highly recommend this place.
Josh is the man. He has incredible knowledge of German cars and his passion shows. Much better than the dealership in value and service.
I have been taking all of our cars to Detroit Auto Clinic for at least 10 years now. They are always professional and knowledgeable. I feel their prices are very fair, and Gil is just a really nice guy.
Detroit Auto Clinic is my go-to for anything for my car. Gilbert always is able to help fix my old Mazda, and the price is always reasonable. Hes a friendly guy, and Im happy to have found his garage in Cleveland. Highly recommended.
Went there yesterday too find out how much a wheel Alignment would cost, surprisingly cheaper then any other place I’ve called. When I bought the car at the beginning of March I knew I needed a wheel alignment i just didn’t have the money right then and there. Long story short , when I went there yesterday the guy told me he had like 2 cars ahead of me I didn’t get mad or anything it’s understandable, he asked me if I wanted too leave my car and come back and get it? I told him I can’t because I don’t have a ride home and I have my daughter with me. He then said I could schedule an appointment for tomorrow I said okay how’s 2:30pm? He said that’s fine see you tomorrow!. Came up the next day at the scheduled time , he explained too me that they inspect the cars before going about the work that the customer wants done just in case there’s anything else wrong that us customers didn’t know about. Before he proceeded he told me I had bad rear shocks and there was a gap between my steering wheel that’s why my car kept pulling bad too the right. He asked me if I wanted him too stop now ? Or if I wanted him too proceed with the alignment?. I told him too proceed. The job didn’t take too long , took about an hour- an hour and a half like he said it would. Test drove the car , came in with the keys and said “ your all done”. Got in the car hoping it didn’t get worse then what it already was because I’ve had bad experiences before. Don’t know what else he did , but my car felt like it was sitting up a little higher, it was actually driving smooth ! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH ! Not too mention there customer service was great!
I got my transmission cooler lines replaced. We found out thats not where the leak was coming frim he replaced the condenser and voila! Problem fixed. He also took the liberty to do an oil change and replaced a bad headlight free of charge. Go to detroit auto clinic!!!
Detroit Auto Clinic is where I have taken all my cars for years now. My extended family also gooes to Detroit Auto Clinic. Gilberto, the owner is truly awesome when it comes to identifying issues and fixing the problem. I drive about 35 to 40 minutes to Detroit Auto Clinic as opposed to any local auto shops because I get great service every single time and my car issues are truly fixed without having to come back for the same problem over and over again. He is very honest and does not try to sell me services that arent needed unlike other places. I am really happy I found a great place to get my cars fixed and maintained. I would highly recommend Detroit Auto Clinic.
I had paid for a thorough assessment of my 2004 Honda Civic’s needs at the dealership but balked at the prices. Detroit Auto Clinic made the same assessments but for half and sometimes less than half the price. I’ve had them address three different vehicle issues and each time they have been friendly, communicative, inexpensive, and done solid work. I will definitely keep coming back here.
Amazing service! Dropped my car off at 8:30am and had all four breaks changed by 3:30pm. Do be dumb, go to Detroit auto clinic!
Great place! Honest, fair, and competent. Great prices and they tell you what is going on every step of the way. I had my car at a big name place that couldnt even figure out what was wrong after 7 hours, here they diagnosed it and fixed in less time! I will go back again!
Detroit auto clinic has been taking care of my aging cars for several years. The team is skilled and honest. I’ve never had issues with anything they have fixed. They’ve never pushed any un-needed services on me. They are everything I look for in a mechanic shop and I am fortunate to have such a great shop nearby.
I have had nothing but exceptional service from Josh and the team at Detriot Auto. They have worked on my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan’s axels, struts, and cooling systems. With the thumbs up from Josh I put near 8,000 miles from Cleveland to New Mexico to Utah and back without the slightest hiccup. I was impressed by his upfront attitude, ability to communicate the vehicles malfunction with a Luddite(me), and their willingness to take on projects with grace that other garages seemed to groan at. They seem unwilling to put a car back on the road without confidence of safety, and keen foresight of future complications. They are Very friendly too. I recommend Detriot Auto, to all.High quality work with accurate estimates of both time and cost. Each time returning the car before projected timelines.
Josh was great! Professional, honest, had car ready when promised. Saved me money too! Will take my car to him in the future for any needed repairs. Thank you Josh!
Always friendly and courteous! Have done a great job every time I’ve gone there! Feel good about using a local business that remembers me and my car and does great work at a decent price!
Josh has been great taking care of my older car so she can stay on the road! Detroit Auto was recommended by a friend and I would pass that recommendation on.
Detroit Auto Clinic has been great! Between my car (Toyota Yaris) and my partner’s (Kia Soul) we have repaired our cars here three times. Back and front brakes on the Soul, and back brakes, front brakes and new tires in the Yaris.The prices have been INCREDIBLY reasonable, the service has been friendly, and the repairs were made extremely quickly. We will keep bringing our cars back! Honest and affordable work! Gilbert and the team are great. Thank you!!
The Detroit Auto Clinic is the best auto shop I have ever been to, hands down. The owner knows me by name, remembers my and my wifes cars and all the work hes done on them off the top of his head and is always super friendly. I ran into him at the Home Depot on 117th and he recognized me and asked how my car was doing! More importantly, the quality of work is excellent, the prices are amazing, they frequently finish below their initial estimate (both money and time). He also helped me out personally by loosening an oil pan screw which was on wicked tight - for free! I cant recommend the Detroit Auto Clinic highly enough!
I dont know where to start.. These people are awesome. Been to three mechanics in the past month. Came to them and they fix the problem. Josh you rock..... Im a true believer, you get what you pay for. This will be my auto stop for now on. So if you have a problem with your vehicle, I recommend the Detroit Auto Clinic...Also Gilbert as well. Again Thank you for taking the time to address my vehicle issues.
Stopped at a couple places and nobody was open on a Saturday afternoon with my loud noisy Muffler. They got me in around noon and had me out of there by 2. Showed me where the previous repairs were done improperly (cheaply) and how they will fix it so it will last. Thanks for taking care of my problem and staying a little past closing time to finish it.
They only did about half the services requested, air conditioner is still working sporadically, and no indication of whether they checked my brakes. Wind shield fluid dispensers still clogged. save the time and go somewhere else.
Had my Jeep in to the local Jeep dealership for routine maintenance check. The transfer case had issues and needed replaced. The dealership was trying to pressure me into leaving the vehicle with them and doing service there. Their cost estimate was in excess of $3,000. Detroit Auto Clinic diagnosed the exact issue, replacing the necessary parts while repairing others. All in, it was half the cost. I would highly recommend DAC.
Gilbert and his team are amazing! There was actually a day I called when they weren’t open, so I planned on leaving a voicemail message. However, Gilbert picked up the phone on his day off! We chatted about issues with the vehicle in question and made plans to bring it in the next day. They never try to trick you into buying things you don’t need. They will only charge you for what needs to be fixed. I will never take my car anywhere else!
I always come to Gilbert and Josh at Detroit Auto Clinic. They always get my car repaired in a timely manner.
I’m really grateful to have found Detroit Auto Clinic. I’m a repeat customer because of their fair pricing, quick service, great communication, and quality work.
Very good experience here, everyone was very polite and I had same day service with no problems after my car was fixed. It was a pretty fair price, and it was worth it for the security of a completely fixed car. There were also no additional fees after they fixed what I asked.
I went back to Detroit Auto Clinic because of the excellent service I received the first time. The second visit went the same way. I recommend this business to anyone in need of quality auto care.
I’ve been going to Detroit for a while and I’ve always gotten great service at a fair price. These guys run circles around big corporate shops that charge a fortune and have less skilled labor. I pass 4 to 5 other mechanics to get my Car serviced at Detroit.
Diagnosed the loud humming noise coming from my car, got me in right away and now it’s running great!
Had a great first experience with the Detroit Auto Clinic, with a car that needed a good amount of work. They were very friendly and helpful, and communicated the issues and the work they were doing well.
Proficient and trustworthy. Thats what comes to mind when referring to Gilbert and Detroit Auto Clinic. They keep our older Civic humming. Helped check out a car we were buying and now keep that one humming, too. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
Detroit Auto Clinic is the first auto shop that has my full trust. The mechanics at DAC are amazing - they are so nice, highly responsive, and always do an incredible job. DAC is also highly competitive in their pricing and they never push services that arent needed. I highly recommend DAC to anyone who needs any sort of car repair, big or small.
Went here for the first time after my regular place hadnt been able to fix my check engine light and rough idling & inconsistent throttle. Took it here without mentioning that or saying what the other guys had tried, and they figured it out on the first try (injector seals if you were curious) and gave me a reasonable estimate for the work. And the guy texted me the next day to make sure everything was still good! Its not as close as my previous place, but Ill be going here next time; theyve won my trust.
As a woman you always have to watch out for auto shops over charging for service. With Detroit Auto Clinic I always get fare, reasonable pricing and they always do an amazing job the first time around. I would recommend them to all of my friends and family.
Gilbert has been my mechanic for years. Ive had purchased used cars over the years, and thanks to Detroit Auto clinic, when it came time to either trade, or sell my vehicles, I was able to do so without a problem. His (Gilbert) knowledge of automobiles is uncanny, also the best by far. Whatever problem I had with my car(s), hes was able to repair. He could give u a quote, and be within the ball park. Hes honest and fair, again, uncanny, especially for a mechanic. A great person in general, as well as, an excellent mechanic. I would highly recommend Detroit Auto clinic.
Have been using Detroit Auto Clinic for a few years, they are reliable, fair and quick to complete work. They have been honest and assisted when my battery died by sending out a truck to jump my battery so I could get the car in to the shop. They are not far from where I live, so I often walk home and wait for the estimate.
My husband and I have both brought our vehicles here multiple times and have never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly, professional and reliable. The prices are affordable too!
The guys here were very nice and got me in quickly without an appointment. They fixed my heat for much less than what I was quoted anywhere else. Very impressed!
The best mechanic around. I bought a Mazda truck and took it straight to the Auto Clinic. They gave me a diagnostic for only 54$ (which is super cheap) and gave me a complete list of everything wrong with the truck the next day! Needless to say I was sold a lemon that had been rigged up and was “this truck is unsafe to drive!” You better believe I got my money back for the truck too!! The Auto Clinic was fast, friendly, efficient, detailed, and just an all around pleasant experience. I’m taking every vehicle there from now on! Lol
I received an oil change from one of those big chain tire places and they told me my rear breaks were really bad, which I had kind of noticed myself. They quoted me a price to fix it and I said I wanted to look around. I found this place because it is right down the street from my house and I am so happy! The gentleman who helped me was so nice and patient and didnt try to make me feel like a dumb girl (that has happened to me before at the big chain places). Also they fixed it for a lot less than I was quoted elsewhere! I will certainly go here again anytime I need work done on my car and would recommend it to anyone!
Replaced my brakes. Quick, professional and great price. Very happy with my experience. They were nice to my dog too.
Great experience working with the folks at Detroit Auto Clinic. Fair price, good communication, and quick turnaround. I will be back when I need something done again.
Detroit Auto clinic has been my mechanic for over 8 years. Wonderful service and very knowledgeable. Would strongly suggest!
Gilbert quickly identified the issue (broken strut) with our car. The repair was completed at a very reasonable rate, and we were able to pick up the car the following day. Very satisfied with service.
Great service from a local neighborhood shop! Went in to get a few things looked at, they gave me an honest diagnostic and options on what I wanted to make a priority! Not to mention a fast turnaround time!! Would highly recommend!! #SupportLocal
Gilbert is an honest, reasonable, reliable machanic and a pleasure to work with. You never have to feel like you are being taken advantage of and thats because they value and respect their customers. So glad that Ive found Detroit Auto Clinic for my car repair needs!
I take my VW Jetta and Honda CR-V here for my regular service and when things go wrong. These guys know a lot about cars, they’re reasonable, and I trust Gilbert. That last part is important. You can trust this place.
I moved to Cleveland 3 years ago with my 99 Subaru Outback. I came from Colorado where there were plenty of mechanics that know how to work on old Subarus, but I struggled to find anyone knowledgeable in Cleveland. I went to three different shops for various issues all with varying degrees of success before I found the Detroit Auto Clinic. Gilbert has worked on my car three different times, essentially fixing everything the other shops couldnt do right the first time. He is extremely knowledgeable, and always quotes a fair price well below what I was quoted at other shops. I will not go to anyone else as long as Im in Cleveland. 10/10 would recommend.
I have been out of town for the week, and while I was out of town, my wife had some trouble with her windshield wiper linkage kit and had to get her wipers repaired. You can purchase a wiper linkage kit for less than 60 dollars basically anywhere. But because my wife does not know much about cars, she was completely taken advantage of. They charged her180 for the lets and 50 for the labor, which is WAY above retail and fair market value on both accounts. Moral of the story, dont trust these guys, they will absolutely take advantage of you if they have the opportunity. Zero business ethics.
Quick turnaround, great estimate, got me in fast for my alternator--definitely recommend, thanks Gilbert!Update October 2021: friendly, quick response/turnaround! Thanks Josh!
Car was consuming engine oil: he changed gasket thinking it will fix the problem but it didntCar alignment was off according to him: aligned the wheels and the car would still drag to the left. I got a flat tire and because 2 of the bolts were cross threaded by Detroit auto clinic they broke off while I was trying to replace the tire. Ended up going to a tire shop nearby to get it fixedScheduled an appointment: when I went there the guy said we dont have time can you come tomorrow.Went again the next day: the car running light was not working. He broke the socket and now the indicator stopped working as well. He said he doesnt have time and doesnt have the part and that I have to come some other dayAC not working, went to Detroit auto clinic: broke radiator fan attachment and didnt put the caps on on the AC linesThe list goes on...Such a major disappointment. Went there because of good reviews. Tried it multiple times. But such a fail.
Excellent, fast service. Dealer quoted me either 125 or 250 to change a headlight bulb. He, the toyota dealer, somehow couldnt determine the correct bulb. A friend recommended Gilbert at the Detroit Auto Clinic. I showed up, Gilbert went and confirmed part price and gave an installed quote of 75.00 - awesome. I will go back for future service. Decent guys over there. Solid.
Ive been going to Gilbert for a while now. Hes a super honest and affable guy, and doesnt beat around the bush. Prices here have always been super fair, and its always been easy and fast to get things scheduled and the work completed. I wouldnt go anywhere else on the west side at this point.
Great customer service had my Volvo in and out with my problem solved... Stayed honest and also did a follow up on me days later to make sure I was satisfied I highly recommend Detroit Auto Clinic
I needed front and back brakes. They did a great job and beat the dealership by $150.I have gone to these guys for a few years and have never had a problem.
Gilbert of Detroit Auto Clinic was recommended to me by a friend. She told me her family had been using Gilbert for years. And while she lived in Westlake, she still kept coming to DAC. So when my late model BMW needed some work, I figured what the hell? A BMW dealer would charge me an arm and a leg.Sure enough Gilbert had me up and running in 4 hours. Then, when my ignition switch went Gilbert had the car ready as promised the next day.You can’t beat reliability and a fair price and a place that you can trust. That’s why I’ll keep coming back and recommend DAC and Gilbert.
I finally found my mechanics. They know what they are doing, and more than that, they are honest. I am more than happy to refer them to my friends and family :)
I was serviced by one of the owners. He was very polite and was able to identify the issue very quickly and replace the part immediately. I plan to continue using this mechanic for continued services.
Ive taken may vehicle in twice now, both visits I received fast service and a fair price. Not much more you can ask for in an auto shop.
I had to give them a star, I wouldnt gave them no star this company is a bad mechanic place, they messed up my car. They had removed my gas tank and put the wrong wires connected in the wrong place, and the seat belts was underneath the seats, I had to go to an different mechanic company to fix it, if someone was smoking in the back everybody in the car would of died. This is a backyard mechanic company dont go to this company, if you can go to an different company do that. I had take this company to court, and they didnt give me my whole money, they only give me $100 dollars, I paid them $235 dollars, a zero dollars job sad. Also, dont let the 4.5 stars fool you, I thought this was a good company by looking at the stars and comments.
Ive taken my car here repeatedly in the past several years, and I wouldnt go anywhere else. Im always surprised at how low the quote is, and how quickly they can fit me in and get my car repaired. Friendly, helpful, and fair.
Always professional, prompt, and they truly have the best customer service Ive experienced from an auto shop. You immediately feel like family. At least I do.
I was tired of getting the run-around from multiple mechanics and then I found Gilbert at Detroit Auto Clinic. Awesome and friendly guy that is very professional and customer oriented. He not only helped fix my problem, he also helped a little other problem for free. Customer for life. Thanks Gilbert.
Best auto shop on the west side. Been everywhere and this is the spot. Fast, affordable, and most thorough work on my car to date.
Been going there for years! Gilbert will tell you if a repair/maintenance is necessary..Quick acess to quality parts that stand the test of time.Hell keep good records of your car/s service history & parts for future reference..There are very few services .issues ..challenges he cannot solve...As close to full service as you can get.Save yourself alot headaches from the slew of amatuers out there & give this place a shot!!
The whole team here has been nothing but supportive, honest, and fair. Thats 100% what I look for in anyone who looks after my cars. Fast service with great customer relations, Id recommend them to anyone.
Josh and all the guys are super friendly and down to earth. Prices are way better than anyone else around. Amazing folks here. Dedicated and professional on-time service.
These guys took care of my Fiat and repaired all that needed to be fixed in a fast and affordable way. Highly recommend them.
Excellent shop! Very quick and reliable repairs. I’ll definitely use them again for future repairs and maintenance.
Gilberts great! They do a great job and are very honest and fair. I am grateful to have found Detroit Auto Clinic!
Detroit Auto Clinic has been great to me with high quality work, fair pricing, and transparent and accurate price estimates.
These guys are very easy to work with and did a great job on my car. I needed 4 new tires and 4 new brakes, and they hooked me up!
Great owner and employees that will give you some of the cheapest prices and work with you to help figure out any of your car problems. Good organization that does great work. Id recommend them any day!
I live out of state and I was interested in buying a vehicle in Cleveland. Tim performed a pre purchase inspection for me detailing all of the areas of concern, answered my questions even on his day off, and charged me half the price of the other mechanics.
The guys here were very nice they made sure they explained everything they were doing, gave me options and, kept me updated . Got everything done quickly and I was very happy with the work & felt the price was fair . I would definitely recommend!
Great service: got my car in and out same-day for an oil change and brake repair.
They gave fair prices and quick work. They were honest about things I had them check into and found a few problems that fixed other issues I hadnt brought up. They called for prices before they did anything extra with estimates.
Gilbert at Detroit auto clinic can offer you real help, for foreign and domestic car repairs. Cleveland is lucky to have an auto repair team with this much knowledge under one roof, right here in our back yard. You can trust them get you back on the road. Thanks Gilbert, for all your help and insight, and great customer service. -- Steve J.
Quality service, and reasonable prices. Ive taken my last 3 cars to Gilberts shop over the years and Ive always been well taken care of.
Detroit auto is always very quick and affordable!!! The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend them!!!!
DETROIT CLINIC REPAIRS YOUR CAR BETTER AND CHEAPER THAN ANYONE ELSELike most people in Cleveland, I have been to many mechanics over and over again to fix ONE problem. By chance I discovered Detroit Auto Clinic down the street from my home - and they specialize in ONE STOP REPAIRING.Not all Mechanics/Car Repair companies are created equal - True, but then there is GILBERT C. Owner/Master Mechanic of DETROIT AUTO CLINIC. His business is unlike ANY business in town, because he cares about YOU and YOUR CAR/TRUCK. He not only repairs what you ask him to do, but like a good Auto Doctor that he is - he gets to and fixes the root of the problem - the first time.PRICING -- Detroit Auto Clinic cares about making you a customer for life, not making you broke for life.. Gil finds the best part at the best price.
Detroit Auto Clinic gave new life to my old car at a bargain price. I always have and always will recommend them.
The shield underneath my car got ripped off by some ice, I brought my car in without making an appointment, my car was all fixed up within 15 minutes, price seemed fair as well.
Josh and his crew are great!! I trust them with my car and with charging me an appropriate amount.
Brought my impala here to get checked out since I bought it as is and didnt want surprises down the line. Gilbert was very informative and explained things to me about my car in PLAIN ENGLISH! And since I didnt have a lot of money he gave me a good idea of what things needed to get taken care of now, and what things I could put off til later. Ive been back twice
Have been 100% satisfied on each of my visits. Customer service is excellent, wait time is minimal and automotive work completed perfect!
A good mechanic is like a good doctor,hard to come by.But I lucked out and found the best. You have a customer for life,and thank you for taking care of me
I always use Detroit Auto Clinic for my auto needs. They are fast and take care of everything for a good price!
This place is awesome. I’m making them my primary car care physicians. Honest and great prices. I’d fight a dude if they talked smack about Gilbert and his crew.
Theyve done a good job with my vehicle, always felt good driving off of their lot. Fixed my screeching tires and fixed a leak when my car was being flooded.
They were very communicative and responsive, professional, and fixed a difficult problem with my hood on short notice
This place is amazing! Great mechanics, not looking to nickel and dime you or fix things that are unnecessary just to make a buck! Very reasonable prices and honest service!
They were punctual with job timeline to make sure I got to work on time. Their analyses were accurate and got the problem corrected. Very happy with job done, would highly recommend!!!
I came in with a suspension problem. Detroit Auto replaced both struts on our Cadillac Escalade ESV. As a fleet operator, time is very important for us when scheduling repairs. Steven and Gilbert were on time starting the job and early finishing up. Cadi rides like a new car now. Thank you
Amazing, friendly and quick service! I will definitely be going back to them with all of my car repair needs in the future.
Gilbert got me in on short notice when I needed a new tire. He was friendly, professional and easy to work with.
Gilbert and his staff are very nice people they take good care of you no complaints about the prices of fixing things Ive been there a few times for my car and hes taking care of it every time hes a man to go to if you have car problems guaranteed you will not be disappointed
Detroit Auto is awesome because they are fast and efficient at a reasonable price.I get estimates from Midas before I go to Detroit auto but always end up at Detroit auto because they are a lot cheaper.
Was not expecting to take and receive my car fixed in the same day!! Fair price.
Friendly, honest, and quick... Ive taken vehicles here for years. Gil and his team are awesome, I highly recommend to anyone needing car repairs.
Very personable.Replaced my O2 sensor on my 99 Camry on last minute notice.
Gilbert really took care of my situation. He had great customer service and got my vehicle back to me within 24 hours.
Josh is the best! Highly recommend.
Josh was friendly and got me in for some much needed work on my truck with no appointment. My truck is driving great.
I am new to this side of town and looked up mechanics on google and I found this place! I am glad I did! They did quality work for a fair value.
Super friendly service and my car was worked on in a timely manner.
These guys got my broken control arm fixed up with an alignment on the same day. No hassle. Close to where I live. Will be back soon. 👍🏼
Fair and reasonably priced repair. Dont let the neighborhood keep you from expert auto repair. Your car will be safe overnight
Service was incredible—communicated every step of the way and they were super flexible with my schedule! I can’t recommend them enough!
Great experience all around. Friendly, honest, and got me back on the road quick. Will definitely be back in the future if my van needs some work. Thanks, Gilbert. 👍
They perform all the work on my cars.Take my cars no where other than Deteoit auto clinic!! Both of them!
Replaced valve stems quickly and called me inmediately when an issue came up during repair.
They do really good work they found the issue with my car and had it fixed within a couple hours

2022-01-11My girlfriend and I are new to the area so we needed a local mechanic. Detroit Auto Clinic had great reviews and it is really close to home so we gave it a try. Going to a new mechanic can be scary, but they made us feel comfortable and were very knowledgeable. They were quick to get both our vehicles in and serviced which was great. Josh is really down to earth and easy to talk to. He didn’t try to sell us on unnecessary repairs like some shops do. We’ve both had our cars in a couple times in the past year and each time we were very satisfied. Even when my girlfriend’s catalytic converter was stolen and we had to wait for an insurance adjuster to look at the damage, josh stayed in communication til everything was taken care of. We are grateful for this shop and will continue to use as our go to mechanic.

2022-02-18I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to take my car to Detroit Auto Clinic! I will be taking my car there for any future repairs. Josh was super communicative - fixed my brakes for a very reasonable price and within a short time period. Car is running smoothly, brakes feel great. Thanks so much, Josh!

2022-02-18Josh is one of the best! Took my car here after things went down hill following a visit to another local shop. Josh worked up my car quickly and was straight forward with me regarding the issue. I really liked that he was able to explain exactly how the issue was causing the problems I was experiencing. Really demonstrated his knowledge. He fixed what needed fixing and didn’t try to find 100 other things to charge me for. Got a fair price and will definitely be back here if any future problems arise.

2022-03-01I have come here on two separate occasions. First for an alignment, and second for a new power steering pump. Both times, Detroit Auto Clinic was professional and efficient. Both services took only a couple hours, and were priced well compared to competitors. Overall, I would return to Detroit Auto Clinic if I needed car service again in the future.

2022-05-01Jan 2022, I sent my car here to get front wheel bearings, and front end work and brakes. Because its dead of winter and cant fix it in The snow. .I got 5 star treatment. I drive 150 miles. Round trip to work and need reliable transportation. My boss owns a repair shop in Youngstown and they were cheaper. I been driving the car a few months and its awesome. Getting ready to take my other vehicles there. Its an old school shop with old building and no waiting.They did me right. Thanks

2022-04-19These guys were awesome! My vehicle broke down on me with no warning the evening before. I call first thing in the morning and ask Josh if he can get me in and that it was a work vehicle that I needed as soon as possible. He referred a towing company to me and I had it told by 10:00 a.m. they got on a vehicle almost immediately. And by 6:00 p.m. told me I could pick it up in the morning. It was a vacuum leak that was really tricky to locate, but no problem for these guys have me up and going the next day thank you very much guys much appreciated! Definitely these guys got my business in the future they can get my pieces of s*** running sound once again!!

2022-03-08Install a new clutch for 2011 Dodge Caliber w/ manual transmissionMerely excellence at a fair price!It is with great pleasure that I pass along my most recent experience w/ Detroit Auto Clinic & Josh my mechanic.Monday morning, I called Josh because my Caliber suddenly began running poorly. Following his advice, the car was towed to the shop and he called about 3pm: the existing clutch was bad while giving me the to-the-penny repair quote.Approximately 24 hours later Tuesday afternoon, Josh was handing me the car key while saying:I knew you had an important appointment at Cleveland Clinic tpmorrow morning. So I pushed really hard to get the clutch replaced...to get the job done for you today.WOW! AMAZING INDEED!

2022-02-22Smart, honest, and kind. Needed a major engine service on 4.7L Toyota engine (timing belt and water pump). Got a parts and labor quote and scheduled in. Ended up needing an extra part and would be worth replacing sooner than later(15 year old oem radiator)Glad I got my service done here with Josh and crew. Dont forget to tip/bring your mechanic some snacks and beverages..
