The air conditioner in my Honda was not working properly. It hadn't been for over a year. I took it to my local Honda dealership twice and each time they were dismissive. Someone recommended Michael & Co. I drove 30 miles to have them troubleshoot the problem. Michael & Co went above and beyond. They injected dye into the system to check if there were any leaks. They noticed the filter was clogged and the dealership had overfilled the freon. Once they unclogged the system, my air conditioning was working at optimal levels. I finally have cool air! My dogs are very happy!

I had a quote from a dealer for $1000, from another shop for $500 - both complete rip offs. I ended up calling Michael & Co and asking if I could pick up the part myself and if they could install and just charge me labor. They were very helpful, honest and fair. They had everything done in an hour and it saved me a ton of money!

Ugh I'm so disappointed. I went in last week for an oil change, when asked if I wanted anything else checked I asked to please check my tire pressure since the alert kept coming up on and off and they agreed to check that out. I get there to pick up my car, I leave, and then I get a call from them that they left my hood open. Truly disappointed by the lack of attention to detail, not a huge issue but it is careless.
Then the next day, my low tire pressure alert goes off, they didn't check my tire pressure like I had asked and like they said they would. These issues just seem a careless on their end and they shouldn't agree to check something out in regards to my car if they won't do it. Update: I appreciate Chris reaching out after my review, acknowledging the mistakes and willing to make things right.
