I took my vehicle there to do a specific task because I thought I knew what the problem was. They did that and it did not fix it -- it was a very minor repair. They did not charge me for that after they realized it was not fixing the problem. They showed me what I actually needed to do.
Description of Work: I am using Merlin for auto service. I was last there when they replaced an outer tie rod on my vehicle.

Description of Work: I stopped for an oil change and service was very fast. They even gave me a print out of other issues I knew I had with my car. The best part was they didn't pressure me by saying I'd have to fix it right away.

The owner upgraded to Continental tires instead of the General tires, so I paid extra for the upgrade. Michael Decker, the owner of Merlin, honored the tire lifetime warranty even though I wasn't perfect on tire rotation and alignments. Brakes are all new with new tires. The brakes were installed professionally as were the tires. It drives like a new car. I have gone to Merlin since it opened and have developed a strong trust with both Mike Decker and Luke. I would highly recommend going there for car repair.
Description of Work: Replaced rotors and brake pads for 1999 S320 Mercedes. Parts were provided by owner (me). They also put on a new set of tires under the lifetime warranty.

Once again, the technicians at Merlin did an outstanding job. My wife and I have been going there for years and the guys at the shop always take the best care of us and our cars. They have pretty much done everything on out cars from replacing light bulbs to repairing engines to replacing tires to changing windshield wipers. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this shop or the guys that work there. Won't take my car anywhere else!
Description of Work: They replaced warrantied hub bearing.

We went to this shop to have our car inspected and to get a quote..we were told to leave our van there overnight and that they would have the inspection done by morning which they did not. They called us later that day and told us it would cost $250, so went went some place else and ended up only paying $130.

Response from Merlin 200,000 Miles Shop - Kenosha
Our manager looked up this name in our computer system. Merlin Kenosha has no record of this person coming into our shop for work. We are also closed on Sundays, which this customer has listed as the date of service. We believe this person did not come to the Merlin in Kenosha.

I go to this shop for several years with different cars. Prices are reasonable and staff is friendly. I did oil change and filter replacement for many times and service is quick. From major services they replaced my Acura's front brake pads and resurfaced rotors. I felt difference immediately. Price was significantly cheaper that at dealer place. I'm considering and other breaking job there withing next few weeks.Only once when I sent my wife there with her mini-van for simple oil/filter change for some reason they talked her in into using synthetic oil that was ~twice more expensive and unnecessary.
Description of Work: Oil/filter change, break pad replacement, rotors resurfacing.

After looking up this customer in our computer system, we notice that he has come in for various services after this comment was made. As we at Merlins strive for 100% customer satisfaction, we are assuming this customer was satisfied with how we handled his issue with his heater. We stand by our work, and if any customer has an issue with work performed, we are more than happy to recheck our installation/repair to make sure the customer is 100% satisfied.

They were very courteous, and also showed me issues that may come up soon and suggested what would need to be done. They were very reasonable in price. I would definitely go back again if i need some work done.
Description of Work: My engine light came on and i took it in to find out the issue. I had a issue with either the coolant temperature sensor or a defective thermostat. I had a coolant flush done, also had the thermostat replaced.

Super, service was fast and and professional. Potential items that will needs servicing soon were also mentioned. I truly believe their goal is my goal and that is to have a car hit 200,000 miles just as their advertising states.
