Engine Replacement

Thank you Larry! For the great outstanding hassle free service that Michigan Motor Exchange provided to our company. You did everything that you said you do and more. I admit that I was a little skeptical at first about taking the route of a remanufactured motor over a new vehicle due to the poor service and broken promises that many service providers give today. However Larry you did right by us. Not only did we get 1 reman but we got 2 which saved us a lot of money as opposed to the route of brand new vehicles. They look good they run great and we're saving a lot of cash on insurance. Thanks again, Tony

Engine replacement

I had bought an engine from Michigan Motor Exchange 7 years ago and since resold my vehicle to a family member. Then my daughter recently blew up her engine right before leaving for college. The first place I thought of was Michigan Motor Exchange. I took it in and they replaced the engine in her Cavalier. They were professional and very reasonable. Now I feel good sending her off to college with a dependable vehicle and warranty too.

Engine Replacement

After improperly winterizing my 1996 Baja last fall my motor cracked. I took it into Michigan Motor Exchange for an engine replacement. They were a. The most reasonably priced for the job. and b. They had it done in time for our annual lake party. I would definitely recommend them for boats as well as cars. They were very professional but mostly just helpful when I had questions or concerns. A+

Engine replaced

I never expected to be replacing an engine at this point and time in my life. But this truck has literally saved my life more than once. So I was suffering anxiety issues worry-ing about if I had done the right thing, and a few various other issues. The guys at your Westland store, have put EVERY worry about my truck at rest. I have an F-150, 2004, I bought brand new in 2003. I couldn't part with her just because I wore the engine out. I changed the oil at 200 miles, and the guys that did the oil change were sooooo impressed, they took my business cards for your stores! THANK YOU MICHIGAN MOTOR EXCHANGE!!!!, for keeping my family safer in this world of slightly untalented drivers! SORRY, but I drive different machines and equipment professionally, so THANK YOU for letting me keep my "peace-of-mind!" I would be very proud to be a reference for you guys, and "THANK YOU VETS!" A hard hug coming to you all! Bless you, and angels all around your wonderful company! A forever grateful friend!, Mary

Motor Replaced

If you are looking for a trustworthy location to have your motor replaced, look no further. Three years ago I had Michigan Motor Exchange replace the motor in my 2003 Montana. The motor developed a problem, and with only 3 days left on the three year warranty I expected to have a small battle on my hands. But they took the car with no hesitation. A short 10 days later I had the vehicle back with the problem fixed. If I had only one word to described MME, it would be "HONORABLE". This is one of the only times that a facility has honored their warranty without question or hesitation. Thanks again Larry. Once again, it's not me that you took care of, it was my entire family.

Replaced Engine

In the summer of 2010 both I and my father’s boat engines went bad. My 1973 inboard blew a head gasket and began arcing between 2 cylinders which then caused the cylinder head to crack and began dumping water into the crankcase. My father’s boat had a hydraulic valve lifter go bad (froze and stopped rotating) which then caused the camshaft to wear and pushed metal shavings throughout the engine and you know what happens after that. Took both boats to Michigan Motor Ex in Waterford Mich. We received excellent service from a very courteous staff, the work was done on pretty much within the time frame and they also tried to save me some money off the original estimate by reusing some original parts. I declined that offer since the boat is already there, and instructed them to just put on all new parts. They also repaired a leaking transmission seal for me free of charge. Afterwards I had a few questions regarding the maintenance of the rebuilt engines, they politely and patiently answered my questions. We were very satisfied with the service.

Engine replacement

I took my 2004 Durango into Michigan Motor Exchange two months ago and had them replace my engine. My experience with them was very positive from the start. They were very thorough in explaining everything that needed to be done and told me at that time I might need some additional parts after diagnosing the problem. They called me to ok everything and explained that these were preventative maintenance items. It has been two months now and I have 1200 miles on the engine and everything is running smoothly. I did have a check engine light come on so called them immediately and went back in to have them check it out. It ended up being nothing and they cleared the code for me. I would highly recommend Michigan Motor Exchange and I would not hesitate to go back to them for future business.

Engine rebuilt

I had my 2000 Escalade motor rebuilt, dropped the vehicle off 2-5-2013 and picked it up 2-11-2013. They went out of there way to give me a ride home. In addition to the rebuild they installed extras such as (belts, hoses, rotor, wires) preparing the car for the next 100,000 miles. I could not be happier for the service I rec'd from everyone involved, from the front guy at the counter to the one that gave me a ride home. Everyone was friendly and professional.If you need work done and want to be comfortable knowing it is taken care of, have it done at Michigan Motor Exchange. Thanks for the excellent service that was provided.

Engine replacement

I happen to run into Michigan Motor Exchange at the Autorama and was talking with them about my engine that I had rebuilt a few years back. It was a 97 Ford F-150 4.2 V6 with 80,000 miles on the original engine. I told them how with over 280,000 miles on it the vehicle still runs great and pretty much runs like the day I picked it up. I am more than happy with the service from Michigan Motor Exchange so when they asked me to post a review for them I had no problem. Would definitely recommend this company.

Replaced Engine Delivered as Promised

We decided to go to MME with our daughters car when she had timing chain issues that destroyed her motor. We went to the Westland shop and they made us feel extremely comfortable with our decision even with the cost. We told them we needed them to do a "bang up" job on the car as she was a college student commuting.The assured me they would deliver and that we would be extremely happy with our choice. So far, the car runs like NEW and I am very happy with the choice we made. A big Thank You goes out to the guys at MME for delivering as promised.

Engine Replacment

It has always been a pleasure dealing with Michigan Motor Exchange . This is not the first time I have worked with them and it won't be my last. They gave me in detail all the things they were going to do ahead of time and everything happened as described. My motor ran like a top right off the bat. They were always very personable and went the extra mile for me.
