Holly & Saginaw, MI Auto Repair

New to town.... wanted to keep my dollar local. 2008 Yukon Denali rear breaks after market... ceramic pads.... $477.98 they were kind enough for 15 dollars to replace an air filter that 200 miles previous Penzoil did... Called Patsi Lou ( who i reconed would be the highest price in the area ) service.... 340.00 for the same work ( no air filter .... it wasnt needed ) $472 if i wanted Genuine GM.. After checking part status Armstead would match the genuine gm price . Welcome to the neighborhood. A $ 177.00 difference in quote cost them thousands of dollars of future repairs. BTW anyone know an Honest mechanic in Holly ? UPDATE>>>>>> a week later went to a Holly Mechanic on Saginaw road..... the 472 .00 dollar breaks that Armstead quoted cost me 269.00 out the door. a 250 dollar transmission filter quote cost amazingly 125 american dollars. still didnt need an air filter. beware. Told them i was new to town ...... Must of been keyword for take advantage of. Good to know who the lousy neighbors are

Just had them give our 99 Grand Am the once over before sending our son back to college across the state with it. Very thorough and professional, ready to differentiate between safety issues, reliability concerns, and inconveniences that aren't so important with over 240,000 miles on it. I sleep a lot easier knowing it's well-maintained!

Great service, always done on time, and they are so flexible! They are totally a great business to work with. No questions asked.

The company is both caring and efficient. I can count ont them to use the latest certified processes and equipment. John and Belinda are vested in taking care of their customers and having a long-term business relationship with them. They do not take short cuts and maintain impeccable records concenrning your car care with them. The are great, by far!

Armstead Automotive. A great place to service all your Automotive needs! Everyone is very knowledgable, and they get the job done fast! I would recommend them to everyone! Two thumbs up! Thanks Armstead's!

Armstead has always been a great place to take my vehicles. The vehicles are dropped off in the morning and picked up later in the day. The turn around time is awesome. They even stayed 2 hours late one night to get me back on the road so I could get up north. This is service you will not find anywhere else.

I've been going to Armstead Automotive for 4 years now and have had nothing but excellent experiences. The technicians are knowledgable, the service writers are helpful and the management is just excellent. I'd recommend them to literally anyone.

I cannot say enough about John Armstead and his team of professionals!!! I own a 2003 Silverado Crew with a Duramax diesel. Last summer I wore out another set of tires towing my fifth wheel trailer, all under a 1000 miles. Being frustrated with misleading information from other repair facilities in my area, I called John at Armstead on a Saturday where he was more than willing to hear me vent. John recommended that I bring my truck and my fifth wheel trailer into his shop so he could look at the complete rig. So Monday I was on his door step, with truck and trailer. John and his son, Ben jumped right into action. They advised me of so many things that were improperly setup on my truck, that it's a wonder I could even keep the truck on the road, let alone keep tires on it. John instructed Ben to check the truck out for any worn parts. He then looked at me and advised me that I am going to need a airbag system to offset some of the trailer weight and to keep the nose of the truck down. A short while later Ben called and advised me that the front end was completely out of specifications and he would need the air bag system installed before he could properly align my truck, both with the trailer and without... that's right, with the trailer hooked to my truck! The next day the air bags had been installed and Ben begun the front end alignment, both the truck itself and with the trailer. Once done, Ben walked me through what air pressure I should have in the air bags with and without the trailer. He further explained that it will keep my caster, camber and toe inline with the settings he set during the alignment. I have since put more than 5000 miles on my truck and the tires look like the day I purchased them, a far cry from the 1000 miles I got out of the last set before they were ruined. To add, the truck rides and drives so much better! I can't thank Ben enough! I highly recommend John and his team at every chance I get. I look forward to having them service my truck and any new truck I purchase in the future. Sincerely, Mark Lozen Swartz Creek, MI
