My son moved to Kentwood about a year ago, so he's still new to the area. He needed some work done on his car, after looking around we found Dykstra's Auto to say less that was the best thing he done.

Update: Mitch runs a tight ship at the Kentwood location. Same day service for a scheduled oil change. And he even stayed a couple minutes after closing so I could collect my vehicle since I had to walk to the location.

Friendly. Thorough. Reasonably priced. They provide images of the issues they recommend tending to. 4/11/24 - in the Fall of 2023, they replaced my struts.

Ford Ranger was leaking transmission fluid. The guys did a full inspection, brought other issues to light I was not aware of. Some unforeseen circumstances occurred during my repairs, but they did not let that impact my estimated cost! Great shop with great integrity!
