My name is Bill Griffin. I am the owner and an ASE master certified technician of Griffin's Auto Clinic. I am extending a personal invitation to come and experience what quality auto service is at our repair facility. At Griffin's its not about just the cars, its about the customer. My staff and I understand that in these trying times that the last thing you want to have happen is a costly repair. That is why we make sure that your vehicle is in tip-top shape and that you are informed of everything that is going on with your vehicle and that you have a solid game plan as to how to address the issues in a matter of importance. We call this our repair blueprint. It allows you to fix the immediate concerns and decide in the future what to fix as money and time allows. There are no pressure sales here. Just good old fashioned honest business practices. There are two things I look to achieve here. Good customer relationships and quality repairs fixed right the first time. Come to Griffin's and become a part of our automotive repair family. Because that is what you are to us and how you will be treated every time you are with us. Thank you for visiting our site on Angie's List. I hope to hear from you soon. Award winning. Additional contact name - Bill Griffin. Additional fax - (248) 888-9408.

I was having issues with a component in my engine that was making a lot of noise. They told me that they could replace the part for about $800, but let me know that there wasn’t anything functionally wrong with the part and advised that I didn’t need to work done. They were nice throughout the process and I let them do a fluid flush for me.
Description of Work: Overall check and fluid flush.

During the course of the past several months there was an unexplainable squealing sound coming from the engine compartment and I could not figure it out. I called Griffin Family Auto which I found on Angie's List and whom I used before. He asked for us to drop the car off that evening. The next morning he was able to locate the problem, called me to inform me of the problem and asked me if I wanted the problem fixed. I said yes and he was able to repair what was a belt which needed to be replaced. Griffin is efficient, gives you the accurate assessment, gets the job done without 'gouging' me. First class service. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: Identified unknown noise from engine compartment and fixed the situation promptly and cost effectively. Quick turnaround to boot.

A friend recommended another auto service provider but they couldn't accommodate during the holiday so I went for the next best thing, Angie's List. Found Griffiths and was not disappointed. We thought my son's car needed brakes but upon inspection Bill said that they could wait until spring. During inspection they did find other things that needed attention today and other items that could wait. They repaired what was needed and he printed for each item a service quote with timing and what order he suggests they be done so we keep the car on the road. Bill's time and effort was truly appreciated. I've been using a certain GM dealership for years but found today I like this better.

We were looking for a new mechanic and found Griffin's on Angie's list. We have a Cadillac SRX and wanted to find a mechanic who would know how to work on a car that has a lot of components to deal with. Scott Hanlon took my wife's phone calls and handled the dropping off and picking up car. He was knowledgeable and professional and answered all of her questions. When we dropped off the car, we already knew some of things that had to be fixed and when Scott called they were honest about what needed to be repaired and what could wait. We feel their labor costs were fair due to the amount of work that was involved in replacing the valve cover gasket and the rear differential seals. We will definitely recommend Griffin's Neighborhood Auto.

It went well as always. This last service was striaght forward and routine. My current and previous vehicles had major challenges that Griffin's determined the root cause and solved problem in a timely manner. Griffin's has the best pricing and has offerred less expensive options, where applicable, compared to other auto service/repair businesses.

transmission repair

My car was stalled on my way back from getting a new transmission estimate in Canton. I found out about a week ago the transmission was failing and needed to be addressed soon. With the estimates I got from several repair shops, I felt very frustrated with how expensive transmission work is! I called Griffin's which seemed to offer a more competitive quote and decided to give them a try! They asked me to drop the car off at their parking lot. Bill and Scott there were very helpful and honest, they stick with their estimate and time line. When I got my car back, it ran like new, and I couldn't be happier with the repair work they did! I am glad I found a great and reliable auto repair shop in the neighborhood that I can trust and go back to!
Description of Work: Put on rebuilt transmission plus labor costs.

Went to Griffin's based on the positive rating on Angie's list and we weren't disappointed. We just bought a used 2002 Corolla with a known oil leak. The quickly located the problem and even did follow up to be sure that was the only leak. Let us know that our serpentine belt was cracking and gave us the option to fix it or wait. We chose to replace it. The exhaust leak was something they could fix with some welding. It took longer than they had planned but they gave us the reasons why and I felt confident that their attention to detail and the desire to fix it right the first time was worth the wait. As they were fixing the original issue they discovered some rusted out bolts and needed the time to replace those as well. The original estimate was actually higher than the final cost, so needless to say we will be returning to Griffin's Auto and will recommend it to others.

Went in thinking brakes needed replacing because of a bad noise on our 2013 Saturn Ion. After the free inspection, they noted the brakes were fine and it was the right front bearing that had gone bad. So we had them both replaced.

Chose this place based on Angie's List recommendations. Was not disappointed one bit. Dropped my car off on my way to a 2-day vacation to get the AC recharged, the brakes replaced and the rotors possibly milled as well. Mike gave me his card, took my info and said he'd call with the estimates, which he did. He told me I still had about half my brake pads left, but it was the rotors that were making the noise (very honest). He gave me estimates with/without replacing brakes, didn't try to sell me but gave me honest answers to my questions. Price was much lower than I expected. He also noticed my oil change sticker showed I was overdue for an oil change. For $30, I said why not? I so glad I didn't take it to the dealer. They always overcharge. I finally found a place I can trust and will use them from now on.
Thank you (Member name removed) for the review. It was our pleasure to service your vehicle while you enjoyed some down time. call us whenever you need us...

After a very poor review that I had written relating to service conducted at Griffens. I was personally contacted by the owner and after talking to him at great length, I told him I would bring my car back again thus giving them another opportunity to earn my business. I was very impressed that the owner took the time to call and speak with me at such length. He told me that he would credit all money that I had paid fixing my previous issue should I return and that protocols would be instituted so the issue that happened to me wouldn't happen in the future. When I brought my truck in the air-conditioning was not working and this required a flush and recharge. Griffens went above and beyond fixing the issue as promised crediting my previous repairs to the bill. They also stored my truck for a week as I was out of town on business. I further learned that Griffens is part of a national alliance of auto mechanics and if I had only called them earlier about my other issue they could have gotten me in with any number of auto mechanics anywhere in the country. Bottom line my problems could have been mostly averted if I would have communicated a little better. I still remember the initial mistake but after all that great customer service the memory is fading fast. In the end Griffens is a true place where they put the customer first and practice first rate customer service. Thanks Griffens

They were horrible. My husband was driving the car long distance and called me and said that they didn't do the brakes right because there was a funny sound. He took it to a place in Virginia and when they took off the tire to look at the brake the entire brake pad fell off when they touched it. They never bolted the brake pads back on the car. My husband could've died in an auto accident because of what they didn't do, so it was just very bad. They seemed nice and everything, but the fact is they didn't do a good job. They put our lives in danger for their lack of competency on fixing the car.
