Speedometer repair service near Pontiac, MI

Family Owned and operated. Best brakes in the state of Michigan

Went in for 4 ignition coils, my 2006 Passat was shuddering. After a test drive and diagnostic, Nick, the owner, said I only needed 1. I asked him to check my spark plugs, they needed replacing. I also think that I got to the bottom of a concern that I've had for a while. I visited Revive Auto Repair based on the 5 star reviews. I'll return based on my visit. The experience was fantastic. Nick is a calm, respectful, mechanic who is fair with his pricing and knows his Volkswagens.

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.

I still can't get over how smoothly my car is running! Thank you for the great service, hospitality, and explaining things in an understandable way. I usually dread taking my car into anywhere for service but I feel like I now have a trusted place to visit when needed. The process was quick and thorough and everyone I interacted with was pleasant. Thanks Justin and team!

I was given a verbal estimate of the costs to fix and the estimate was correct. They promptly went to work on the vehicle. I am always pleased with the amount of effort these guys put out in order to resolve the source of my problem. See you agin soon.
