Every time I take my car there they are fast and they are both professional and helpful. What I like most about him is that the prices of fear some prices are much better I was pleasantly surprised. I take my car there often and will continue to do so. -Linda

This review is for Auto Center of Canton which I presume is the new name for this shop. I drove my 2000 Volvo S80 to get it diagnosed because the engine kept missing even after new parts were replaced. This took place on October 16th of 2019 and all I've been getting about this problem is the runaround from a mechanic named Rich. Initially I was told that the engine may need to be replaced with a price tag of $2700.00. I went out to the shop to put half of the deposit for the engine and then was told that the engine was fine, but it was the engine control module that was in need of repairs. Instead of Rich contacting me of the status of the module, I've had to keep calling and then Rich never calls back when he says. It's been over a month of waiting and this is unacceptable as my wife needs to be cared for and taken to her oncologist for cancer treatments at U of M hospital. At this point and right now, I want my car back with the original module and my $500.00 since nothing but waste time has been done. I caution anyone considering this place for repairs as they are just monkeying around and wasting people's time and money.

I contacted Troy Engel who is supossed to run this shop, I took my vehicle to him to have it repaired. I had my vehicle towed to Bayliss Auto Shop and told them I suspected the timing chain has failed, but I'm no mechanic. Troy Engel said he would inspect the vehicle and let me know what was going on. He would never contact me. I always had to try to contact him to get an update. I finally did get in touch with him and he confirmed the timing chain did fail and it resulted in blowing the heads. He gave me a verbal quote of 2,500 dollars and estimated it would take them 6 weeks to complete the break down and rebuild of the engine. I asked him if I would be better off just buying a new engine and he told me no it will be cheaper rebuilding the engine thats in vehicle. So I agreed to have repairs done. After contacting him numerous times throughout the next 6 weeks "he never contacted me once with updates" . It was finally done and he told me the bill was 2900 . When I went to pick the car up I started it and the exhaust was super loud, and that wasn't the case when he got the vehicle. He told me it would be another 100 dollars to fix the exhaust he messed up and I would need to bring the car back in a couple days for the repair. So I paid the entire bill took the car home let it sit took it back a couple days later to have exhaust fixed. So I paid him a total of 3,000 dollars. The day after I picked the vehicle up it stalled out on the freeway just like initally did the first time. So I had the car towed back to his shop " Bayliss Auto" . I called him the next day and he informed me that my car needed a new engine. So after paying $3,000 for repairs I'm back at square 1. He then tells me he couldn't get me an engine. And I would need to find one myself. So long story short if I could give this company 0 stars I would. I ended up picking my car up in pieces and Bayliss kept the freshly rebuilt heads. I had to pay another shop 3,000 dollars to do what should have been done the first time. Troy Engel was very rude to me throughout the whole proccess he had my car for over 2 months. So please if your reading this do not take your car to this shop. You will be taken advantage of when your in a very vulnerable position . I don't see how this company is still in business. I will definitely be taking legal recourse against Bayliss Auto as they have vilolated many codes of the michigan motor vehicle service and repair act.

these guys are great. they kept me informed on the progress and had it done when they said it would be, with no additional price increases. their honest and they get it done when they say they will. thanks kevin and crew.

Great Place for Complete Auto Repair

Took my car to GLA at the referral of a close friend because my brakes lost all power. I had known for about two months that I had a small leak in my front passenger side brake line, being the son of a former mechanic I had bought parts and planned on doing the work myself. However, weather and timing were not on my side. Took my car in and Matt and John took a look at it and found that my master cylinder had also went bad. They replaced the cylinder and found that I was right about the leak in the front passenger line, however Matt was pretty sure that the increased pressure from the new cylinder caused the leak. They replaced the line as well and now my car stops better than when I bought it. They did it at a reasonable price too, because I know that the same job at a dealership could have been $900-1000. I'll definitely be seeing them in the future.
