Detroit Auto Clinic is the only mechanic I have gone to since moving to Cleveland and I am impressed each time. Not only is the location very convenient with working downtown, but Josh is always so kind, honest, communicative and completes the repairs very quickly for a very good price. I highly recommend Detroit Auto Clinic and wont be going anywhere else as long as Im in the area.

After the dealership recommended repairs totaling more than the value of the car, I brought my mother-in-laws car here. They not only did the necessary repairs quickly (same day turnaround for complete exhaust replacement) and for far less, they also showed that the dealership had blatantly lied with some of their recommendations. Will definitely be back when we need more work done.

I absolutely love this business. Josh is the best. I cant see myself taking my car to any other auto shop. Detroit Auto Clinic for life.

Fast service. Honest. Very fair pricing.(I thought)Edit: Car was brought in for air conditioning.Had it recently recharged somewhere else and it didnt last.Told Detroit there was a leak in the system somewhere.They checked, couldnt find the leak.Recharged the system, added a dye.Charged $80.Guaranteed it for a year.Brought it back in a few weeks, same issue.Was told that they found the leak, and the hose is discontinued.So am out $80 with no AC.If they couldve found the hose the first time I brought it in, and told me it was discontinued....Id still have no AC...but Id have my $80.In short it cost me almost $100 for them to tell me they couldnt fix what I brought it in for.Earth. Gotta love it.

Josh was very communicative and knowledgeable. He was up front with his prices and did not push for extra costs. I had not had the funds for my o2 sensor repair so he let me know the urgency of getting them replaced and what to expect. A much better experience that the Firestone I was previously going to where they added on costs and took a long time without addressing anything. I’ll be coming back!

I finally found my mechanics. They know what they are doing, and more than that, they are honest. I am more than happy to refer them to my friends and family :)

I was very impressed with Detroit Auto Clinic! I had my front brakes/rotors replaced and felt well taken care of even though they were busy. I definitely recommend them for quality work, fair price, good communication, honest and friendly service!

First time going here and it was a great experience. Josh was the man. Fixed my exhaust and did an oil change for a great price, but more importantly, he noticed a future muffler issue I was going to face and since the muffler was back ordered by six weeks, he ordered it on his own dime just so it’s in stock if I ever needed it. Thats how you win business for life.

Very satisfied with our first experience for brakes and drive shaft repairs on our 2004 Lexus RX. Josh was great to work with and gave us a fair and reasonable price for repairs. Car was ready right in time to drive to Boston and it was smooth sailing all the way! Happy and grateful!

Josh got me in quickly, worked around my schedule, and got my car back to me fast. He was upfront about suspected issues, fixed it, and I was charged accordingly and reasonably. I even received a follow-up text which was appreciated. I will likely be returning for any future car needs.

This place is a hidden gem. My car is an 06 escape and always has problems here and there but Josh and company continue to keep her alive. Best place in all of Cleveland. Id trust them with any car.

Review №18

When I brought the car in I was told it might take a couple of days (that was probably worse case scenario). Next thing I know it was done the same day. I brought it in the morning around 9am, and it was done the same day by 5:00 - 5:30pm. Quick, quality work. I would definitely recommend Detroit Auto Clinic & Muffler to family, friends, and associates.

Review №19

I was having a loud creaking sound and took it in. Ended up being the control arm. They fixed it and had it done by the end of the day and did not overcharge me. It’s running great and I have peace of mind that my car is safe. We take both of our cars here bc we can always count on quality work.

I’ve been going to Detroit Auto Clinic since I moved to the neighborhood. Gilbert and Josh have both been very helpful and thorough - and they always answer whatever questions I have and make the different options for various issues and repairs really clear. I really appreciate how prompt, reliable and communicative they both are - and I love having a locally owned and run shop I can trust.

Review №23

Josh and the team at Detroit Auto clinic were amazing! Despite not wanting to guarantee that my repairs would be done same day Josh clearly worked diligently to return my vehicle to me before he closed up on Saturday. If you drive a Volkswagen, I highly recommend Detroit Auto Clinic as Josh is incredibly knowledgeable and will do amazing work.

Review №24

Brought my car in because I knew something was wrong. Josh was very knowledgeable and found that the issue was a coolant leak that had gone undetected for over a year. Very reasonably price and speedy service. Going to recommend this shop to all of my friends from this point forward. Very kind and great customer service!

Review №25

I had never gotten my car serviced in Cleveland before so I looked online and found the Detroit Auto Clinic. I called Josh and was able to bring my car in the next day. I was having some issues with my car shaking, so I suspected that it was bad brakes but was unsure. I asked Josh if he could do a full check up on my car. I got a really nice breakdown, including pictures and videos, that listed everything in need of maintenance. The outcome was that my suspension parts and brakes needed replacement. Josh is a very professional and knowledgeable mechanic. I think he did a really great job on my car and it’s running smoother than it has in the last 6months! I would recommend this auto clinic to any friends and family in the area! If anything ever happens to my car again, I know that I would take it there!

This place exceeded my expectations of a mechanic shop. Very professional, always communicate with me about details of vehicle status. Prices were reasonable for my budget. Highly recommended. It can be hard getting good work done but this is the place to come! Josh is very professional. He really appreciate veterans. I had my time and chains go out on my VW passast my car rides great without any problems.

Had a great experience with Josh. My exhaust had broken in several spots and I needed new pipes bent, a new muffler, and new flanges. I stopped by and was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. The work looks good and the price was even better. They even contacted me a few days after to make sure I was happy with the work. I will absolutely be using Detroit Auto Clinic in the future.

I brought it in my ‘03 Odyssey for a bearing noise and a good look-over. Josh gave me prices up front. They found 2 bad bearings and a leak in my fuel line. Work was done in a day and they even gave me a better price on a part in stock. Great job and service

Review №36

My family has used Detroit Auto clinic for 7 yrs now. In that time we started with Gilbert taking care of my family safety with our vehicles. Now Josh is taking care of us and my families safety. Their prices are spot on or below the average every time. Never have they tried to give reasons to fix somethibg that wasnt broke and have actaully not charged us before for a minor fix. If you need great service and fairness then Detroit Auto Clinic is your place.

I had AAA tow my car here as one of my brake lines had rotted and my brakes did not work at all, scary! It turns out all 9 of my brake lines needed to be replaced. They got the job done quickly and my car is good as new! I highly recommend this mechanic.

Josh was excellent. He spent a lot of time with me walking me through tire options and pricing. I felt like he cared and wasn’t trying to get the most money he could out of me, which is what I’ve experienced before at other places. They replaced all four of my tires and changed my oil within just a few hours. Very satisfied and will definitely be returning!

Gilbert, Josh, and all the other guys at Detroit Auto Clinic are great at what they do! Down to earth, professional, helpful, no nonsense, reasonable and quick. They have helped me with work on at least my last three vehicles. After my mechanic brother got sick and later passed, Gilbert stepped up and kept my vehicle on the road and safe! In the last 4 or 5 years I have not hesitated to send all my co workers and others to his shop for work. I highly recommend them!!!

Even though this looks like a hole in the wall kind of place, I was thoroughly impressed with their work, speed, and price. I usually don’t trust mechanics, as they always try and fix every little thing that doesn’t need fixing, but Josh showed me what I need to fix right now and what can wait a while which I really appreciated. One of the best mechanics I’ve been to. Would highly recommend!

I have been taking my cars to Gilbert and Josh for almost 8 years. Their service and most of all their repair prices are incredible. I save almost half of what the dealer charges. This is a no frills place in the greatest sense. I usually Uber over to Gypsy Coffee at 65th and Detroit or my fav place, Brewnuts to wait. Cost of Ubering doesn’t matter because Detroit’s prices are so incredibly low. No loaner cars. Then they just call or text me when car is ready and I Uber back and marvel at how much less they are than the Dealer or other shops! Thanks, guys!!!

Its a good sign when the mechanic drives the same car as you! Took my 1989 Volvo 240 here a few weeks ago because of a pretty bad vibration at highway speeds. Josh and Gilbert were super quick with a diagnosis and fix and I had my car back the next day. They were friendly, easy to talk to, and were super helpful with advice on repairs I was doing myself and pointed me towards some rad community resources for parts and help. Absolutely going here again next time I touch something I shouldnt on the car and need help from people who actually know what theyre doing.

I had a terrible flat tire that shredded. I called Josh at Detroit Auto Clinic and he was so helpful and put me at ease immediately. He ordered my new tire and had me up and running again in no time. Then, he followed up with me a few days later to be sure all was well with the work performed. You just cant beat that kind of attention. Pam Dayner, Detroit Shoreway resident for 25 years.

Iv been having a difficult time with my heat in my car this year. After taking it to a mechanic closer to me, I was quoted about 1200$ to get it all working. Replacing things that didn’t need to be replaced. So instead I called around and found this place. Josh was great. He found exactly what was wrong with my heat, fixed it for basically nothing and walked me through every step, and telling me the price point the whole way. I felt like he was honest with me, and wasn’t trying to get me to spend more money than needed. He was honest with what was the issue on my car instead of throwing his hands up in the air and saying “let’s replace everything!”. He saved me a lot of money and I was grateful for all his help!

I’m a satisfied customer as long as the service is done correctly and completed when I’m told it will be done. Detroit Auto Clinic provided a great experience having repairs completed on my vehicle.

Review №75

A few years ago (I think 2017), my car was needing to be jumped every time to start. I took it to a place that said I needed a new transmission that would cost 1k+. I took it somewhere else to get a 2nd opinion and they said the same thing. Luckily, my friend with a dad who teaches auto tech advised me to get a 3rd opinion, so I went to Detroit Auto Clinic. They told me all I needed was a new battery, which ended up saving me over $500. Car has worked fine ever since, which Im so grateful for because I dont know how I would have been able to afford a new transmission back then! Also, at that time, they had a female mechanic who was the one who ended up giving me the less expensive diagnosis--I thought it was super cool to see female mechanic representation! Idk if she still works there, but I hope so! Now, 4 years later, I am planning to come back here in the spring to repair my A/C :)

I found this place because of a google review a year is so back. Very friendly, affordable but also honest!! They diagnose your car and call you with details before they work on things. One of the first things I was impressed about; (before COVID) they drove in the car with me to hear the sound before they looked under the hood. Something super old school that mattered to me. Check them out!

The reviews dont reflect this business. Its dishonest business. Took a 4runner into a Toyota dealership and got a list of parts that were worn out and needed to be replaced along with some fluids. Took it to Detroit auto clinic for inspection and they said nothing was wrong and just took the inspection money. Just another poorly ran low end mechanic shop.

Ive taken my vehicle here since I can remember, now living several hours away I still take my car here because they charge fair prices and the mechanics are very knowledgeable. I wont take my car to the generic big name shops anymore after discovering Detroit Auto Clinic, simply due to the honesty of the workers and they are upfront with you on what you actually need rather then most places try to upsell you on everything. The owner once sat in my car with me to see what was wrong with my E-brake, and free of charge he resolved the problem that same day. Genuine honesty is why I keep coming back.Would highly recommend
