They did a wonderful repair job on my engine in my SUV. Zach the owner hes very skilled and knowledgeable and took his time to explain to me everything before we started the repair job. I would refer anyone who needs quality work done to go to this shop.

Zac has been nothing short of amazing. Hes worked on multiple cars for my wife and me, and each time has been flawless. Timing and pricing are clearly explained up front, and any issues/changes are quickly and clearly communicated. Its rare to find a mechanic that not only effortlessly knows how to correctly repair your car, but is also honest, trustworthy, and able to clearly communicate everything involved when you bring your car in for service.Zac will continue to be our go-to mechanic for service, and Ive adamantly recommended him to others.

I had major engine work done here, replaced timing chain and all associated components on my truck. The work seems to have been effective, and about $1800 less than Ford wanted. Zac used all ford parts. Im satisfied. I have recommended his shop to others.

Zac runs a great shop. No nonsense. No unnecessary repairs. The best mechanic in town. You can trust the job will get done right.

Zac does good work. He checks your vehicle on site so he can make an accurate diagnosis. He then does the repair work at a very reasonable price. Very honest and customer focused. Would recommend to others.

Zack repaired my Infiniti G35x and my Ducati Monster. He was honest with fair prices. I will be bringing him all my vehicles in the future should they need repair.

Only minor complaint is it took longer than expected. But they were hunting down a bolt for my old car that ford stopped manufacturing. Besides that this place is solid. Fair pricing. Didnt feel like I was being ripped off like I usually do when I go to a mechanic. Buddy of mine recommended me and I am not dissapointed.

Last fall I submerged my Broncos engine/intake, and the engine was trashed by the dirt it managed to pull into the crankcase. Upon calling around to different local shops, I had a good conversation with Zac, and had it towed to Universal Engine Repair. Zac found a quality re-manufactured engine for a good price and swapped out the engine. During that time I received updates and didnt feel like I was bothering anyone when I called with questions (which were answered in detail). All of this for an affordable price. Ive put about 2,000 miles on the new engine so far and have had no issues. No leaks, no stalls, good oil pressure, regular idle, etc. Just recently, I drove a 400 mile round trip with no problems. I had a great experience with Zac and his team- would highly recommend.

This shop is our family mechanic for a while now, for all our vehicles and engines - Dodge Ram, a Mustang convertible, an older Porsche, a delicate 1989 celebrity mercruiser inboard boat and chainsaws, lawn trimmers, etc. - truly universal repair. Zac (the owner) & team is obviously very well educated on engine, body work and boats, on a higher level and curiousity than I experienced from other shops around - explains, diagnoses and detects everything very well, and gets all of them fixed in great quality - incl. import (german) vehicles which many other mechanics around won’t even touch. Since I also had experiences from quite some other shops around Ann Arbor/Ypsi area, I think I can state this place is unbeatable in terms of friendly, on-time, direct communication service and great price/quality ratio - highly recommended!

Review №16

Just sold a car that had an engine swap done at this shop. The person who purchased the vehicle is a lifelong mechanic. After going through the car the gentlemen who purchased it discovered many, many issues with the work done by this shop. Biggest issue was the mechanics bypassing the FITV causing extremely rough starts and stalls once the cold weather hit ultimately leading to me selling the vehicle. This was a very simple gasket that would’ve taken 10 minutes to do properly and not cause the trouble it had. The mechanics installed my flywheel to my clutch kit backwards and blamed me for purchasing the wrong flywheel when in fact he had just attempted installing it improperly. I could go on but no point. After selling this vehicle to a reputable mechanic I realized Universal Engine Repair essentially took on this job without nearly enough knowledge to complete it properly. Would recommend this shop for oil changes etc but take your vehicle elsewhere for major repairs. You get what you pay for.

I needed a small repair quickly - a rear view mirror assembly had been broken. Universal was able to locate a used part for me and get the job done fast and still cost less than half of my previous mechanic! Repair work is done great, pricing was fair, and staff was friendly and helpful

Just when you thought there werent any honest mechanics out there! Zac quickly diagnosed the problem and ordered the needed part. Once the part came in he fixed everything in less than 30 minutes. Pricing was fair and the service was friendly. Would recommend this shop to anyone needing any car repairs done at an affordable price.

The most honest and efficient mechanic Ive ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Zac performs repairs quickly and can explain everything that hes doing and why in great detail. Hes polite, personable, and true to his word. I wont take my car anywhere else.

Review №22

Zac has always gone above and beyond to fit me in, honestly assess my vehicles (never recommends repairs that arent necessary!), and always does it with a smile. His prices are always considerably better than the other shops in the area and after working with him for years I would never go anywhere else. This is the ONLY shop I recommend to friends and family.

Review №23

Initially, I went here just because they were the only mechanic I could find that would test drive my car free of charge. After my experience, I won’t go anywhere else. If you want a mechanic that is affordable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable this is the place to go.Zac has gone above and beyond helping me. When my engine caught fire he towed my car for a very good price and got me more money back from the scrap yard for it than I thought was possible. He even saved stuff under the seats I accidentally left behind AND looked at two vehicles for me before I decided on my next purchase.Not to mention, as a woman I have had numerous bad experiences when dealing with mechanics, but Zac always listens to my concerns and is professional and respectful. I can’t express enough how refreshing that is.I send everyone I know to Universal Engine Repair when they need help with their car. My only regret is not leaving a review sooner, because they deserve it.

Review №24

Just picked up my car from the shop, and I must say that this has been by far the best auto repair/mechanic experience Ive ever had. Not only did Zac complete several complex repairs quickly and efficiently, but he gave me the best quote in town, worked with me to give me a discount, and replaced my tail light bulb and did a couple of other minor repairs for free. He also stayed late to give us the car- well after closing, and then took his time to explain/show us the work. If youre looking for an efficient, fair-priced, and honest mechanic, Zac is your guy.

Fast, cheap, and effective. Ive used this place multiple times and it has gotten to the point that I just refer to UER as The Car Wizard. Theres no better value for your money, and if it cant be fixed here, it cant be fixed anywhere.

Review №29

Once youve taken your vehicle here, you wont want another mechanic near your car. Not only will Zac take time to diagnose your issue, but hell explain exactly whats wrong, teach you about your car, and perform repairs quickly and affordably. The best thing about this shop is honesty - you dont have to worry about being quoted for unnecessary work. Chances are youre researching shops because you need work done, so give Zac a call.
