Mike is always helpful by telling you what exactly is wrong. He will even tell you that the mechanic you went to before him was incorrect and will save you about $300. Been going to him ever since and will continue until one of us moves. Mike you are amazing!!!

Michael is the most honest mechanic I know. If he doesn't do a particular type of vehicle repair he will say so. If he does, you can count on the work to be done properly and at a reasonable price.

i've gone here twice for quick fixes on my car (securing something loose under my car and checking my tires) and michael has always fit me in and never charged me. he's friendly, efficient, and good at what he does!

Honest and very well priced. Always communicates his findings with a lot of detail. Can take a long time to get your car in, but it's well worth the wait.

Honesty Knowledge & Integrity pretty much says it all. Both Micheal & Kelly have been nothing but professional & informative. Highly recommend the Automotive Shop 👍

Found my new mechanic for sure. Very friendly, fair prices, and I much appreciated him getting me in asap for a last minute oil change!

Very honest shop to work with!

If you're looking for the type of mechanic that will diagnose the problem, explain the issue, fix it, and charge fairly, Michael's Automotive is the place to go! They're friendly, fast, and fair! Will return for all of my future car repairs!

I moved here relatively recently and was anxious to find a good mechanic like the one I had in my hometown. Mike is great! I had to book ahead a little ways, but it was worth the wait for the quality, speed, and cost of service. I know where I'm going for my future repair needs!

Great place. Warm family like.


Mar 07, 2024

Just got my older car back with work on the rear suspension and and oil change - and Michael's wife Kelly came and got me so I could get my repaired car - wonderful people, good service, reasonable prices, and convenient location. I will be using this repair shop again and again.

30 year business with great mechanics. A very pleasant place for all your auto needs.


Feb 07, 2024

Absolutely top notch business. Great quality work, service, and prices and 100% genuine. Will be taking all my vehicles here from now on!


Feb 07, 2024

Bought tire and it won't hold air. Right now I have a flat tire that won't even air up with fix a flat


Feb 07, 2024

Everytime I need something done I go to him. Honest and very reasonable. Has been a family mechanic for 2 generations of us


Feb 07, 2024

Excellent Service! Michael's Automotive mechanics are honest and trustworthy! They have fixed my vehicles for over twenty years. Never had a problem or issue with any of my auto repairs. They will communicate with you up front as to what needs to be fixed right away or if something may need repaired soon. Highly recommend this place for auto repairs and oil changes!

Excellent shop. Owner honest and helpful!


Feb 07, 2024

Great customer service, great service!


Feb 07, 2024

Great price on a pre-purchase inspection, saved me from overpaying on a used car. Super honest and detailed about the state of the car, what might come up down the line, and whether the asking price was fair.


Feb 07, 2024

He's the best shop on the in Indy, bar none!


Feb 07, 2024

Honest. Good guy. Find another auto repair shop with this high of a rating.


Feb 07, 2024

I've been going to the same dealership on the east side of Indy for several years. Sometimes I get great service and Sometimes I don't. My last trip they pretty much told me my car had A LOT of miles on it and I should probably be thinking about trading it in. In this economy...no way. I started going to another dealership on the north side of Indy. I got great service and never once did they say anything about my high mileage vehicle. I don't want to make that drive up north just to have my car serviced. I went to my trusty friend, Google, and found Michael's Automotive. He schedules appointments and doesn't overbook for more work than he can handle. He explains things so anyone can understand. His pricing is fair and doesn't have all the mark up the "stealer"ships do. This is a family owned business that has been around for a while so it's not a here today gone tomorrow shop. I'm confident if you start taking your vehicle here you may never go anywhere else; it might take a while to get on the schedule but don't let that deter you. Top notch mechanic and excellent customer service.

Love Michael's.. he's the best. Honest, hard working, great place to go.


Feb 07, 2024

Mike and his team are great. Mike himself is very explanatory and straightforward, which I appreciate. He did a whole round of fixes on my older car. I would just recommend making an appointment way in advance. Because he is so popular on this side of town, his books are almost always jam packed. I trust him with all my car needs.


Feb 07, 2024

Mike is one of those small town mechanics you hear about on TV sitcoms. He does the job right, goes above and beyond. He has worked on my mom's vehicles and mine when I don't have time to either fix it myself or it's too much work for me to complete in a reasonable amount of time. I'd recommend him for anyone needing a trustworthy mechanic. Thanks Mike can always count on you!


Feb 07, 2024

Quick, personable, didn't gouge me and got my beater back on the road. I know where I'm going if anything else needs repaired.


Feb 07, 2024

You rarely find gems like Mike anymore. This is a fantastic place to take your vehicle, you won’t be overcharged or bs’d about what is it isn’t happening. Just an all around good experience every single time.


Feb 07, 2024

Stopped into Michael’s today because I remembered hearing about this shop word of mouth from the neighborhood. The experience I had with them was wonderful! I needed my tires aired up and originally had made an appt at the east side Pep Boys location, but no one showed up so I left. I explained what happened at Michael’s and they were fast at helping me air up my tires and at no charge. Very welcoming atmosphere too, if I need other things tuned up or fixed on my car I’ll be visiting again!


Feb 07, 2023

Great independent shop. Skilled mechanics. Good prices and most importantly they don't recommend unnecessary work done on the car. Highly recommended.


Feb 07, 2023

I will never visit another auto mechanic before checking with Michael’s Automotive. Michael is a true professional and cares about the local community. He fixed the AC/Heater blower in my truck, explained the issue, and was much more affordable than similar services I have had in the past with other shops. Thank you!


Feb 07, 2023

Michael was honest, communicative, and thorough servicing my 2006 Ford Ranger. Price was very reasonable and work was done quickly. I will be back for service anytime I need it. Thank you!


Feb 07, 2023

Traveling from out of town and was in need of an oil change. I stopped to see if they would be able to fit me in. Michael was extremely polite and worked with me on getting my car serviced. He was honest and fair. I am in and out of Indy often, and will definitely return here for any future automobile needs!


Feb 07, 2023

We LOVE Michael's Automotive!! They are the nicest, most honest people and we always support local businesses!
