I have had both mine and my husband s car repaired here and I will be taking mine back soon for maintenance that Fonzie pointed out needed doing soon. Can you find cheaper? Maybe. Do you want cheaper? I find Fonzie to be reasonably priced. More importantly: his work is impeccable, he is super thorough, he is a superb communicator and TRUSTWORTHY! Are you a woman afraid to get your car fixed because you ve been taken advantage of in the past? Please. PLEASE! Go see Fonzie. He and his wife are wonderful people. The work is done quickly. He communicates everything so you can understand what you need and what he s doing and how much it will be. 10 STARS My husband is so happy with his repaired car, we are keeping it a few more years.

I had to fix my shuttle bus. Needed a wheel alignment. So I had a appointment at 10AMI WALKED IN at 9:30AM. the gentleman took my bus and was fixing the problems. I walked in the waiting room. I was like this is super cool. Digital cable. And iPhone chargers. And comfortable seats. And fresh coffee. And fresh donuts. And cold water in a mini fridge. Kicking back and in 45min my bus was good to go. Had to give it 5 stars. O and bye the way the staff was polite in every way. So I give it a

Best find in years. I use them for my business, personal, and refer to family and friends. Everyone says the same thing. Honest fair and very clear communication about what you re vehicle needs are. It s a great feeling to have confidence in your mechanic when you rely so much on your vehicles. They re the best.

I've had both my truck and my wife's car serviced here multiple times and highly recommend them! I always feel that Fonzie is very honest with me and looking out for me rather than trying to upsell me on something unnecessary. Fonzie & Lilia are super nice people and they always greet me with a smile. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic that does good work and is run by great people that are a pleasure to work with, this is the place to go. This is definitely my go to shop for auto repairs and service.Services: Auto brake repair, Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Auto maintenance, Auto brake replacement

A friend told me about Fonzie after I had shared my story with him about three different mechanics who had ripped me off. I spent thousands of unecessary cash. Fonzie is great. He's honest and does a great job. The lady at the desk is super nice too! Finally after nine years of living in the mid-cities area I found my mechanic.Services: Wiper blade installation, Auto brake replacement, Oil changeServices: Wiper blade installation, Auto brake replacement, Oil change

I first went to Mike's several years ago to have my brakes replaced. Fonzie was honest and trustworthy and replaced my brakes at a fair price. He has since done a few other repairs to a couple of my vehicles. He was even able to repair something that the manufacturer of my vehicle couldn't even find. I will recommend Fonzie every time to anyone needing help. His wife is also very helpful, and they are both very friendly and respectful.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Brakes

I took my wife s car to Fonzie because the brakes were starting to wear out. He fixed the brakes for a reasonable price and provided timely service.He mentioned after the brake job that the pinion seal in the rear differential needed to be replaced therefore we took it back in and let them do the work.However once my wife drove off the lot, there was a crunching and whistling noise coming from the bottom of the car. He test drove it with us and said if it doesn t go away then bring it back and we ll probably have to get more work done.Few days went by and it became worse. So I called and he quoted me at $1,800-$2,000 to repair/replace rear differential.At that point I received a second opinion and they said that a mechanic should not just change the pinion seal without checking for other issues because a bad pinion seal is a good indicator that there s something else wrong.Therefore I had another shop fix everything wrong with the rear differential for about $700 and they said that whoever replaced the pinion seal did not tighten everything back up correctly which could have caused a lot more issues with the car.In conclusion, I recommend Mike s for brake/alignment repairs and other routine maintenance but not for other repairs.

I was in desperate search for help on my car and an issue I was having. Though I didn t make it to this shop, the owner (I m assuming) sat on the phone and explained everything to me and told me to bring it in and what that would entail. I called a few days ago and the service was amazing. The BEST amongst the many numbers I called. The person on the other end remained, honest, respectful, empathetic and compassionate the entire call. Definitely recommend for Fort Worth area. If I needed to go to anyone in Fort Worth? I d stick to this guy here!!!

Fonzie is an excellent, trustworthy, reasonably priced mechanic. He has worked on both of our 10-year old cars a few times (minor and major repairs) and we have been nothing but pleased with his work. His wife runs the front desk. They are both friendly, honest, and customer service oriented. I highly recommend them!

So I took my car to get a belt replacement and, he asked for 140$ I said go ahead. Then saying the diagnosis would be 110$ I said go ahead and do that as well so I can see what s wrong with the car. Then calls me back and saying the alternator is broken I asked how much he said 850$ for the new alternator. I told him no then he said still charging me for the diagnostic but didn t give me any codes he said he did a look diagnostics and still going to charge me 110$ didn t even do nothing but looked at my car

We love Fonzie and his wife, Lily! So friendly and honest. Fonzie will make recommendations, but never uses pressure or sales tactics. They work to get you the best price that he can offer. We will always take our vehicles to them. I have only ever had one issue with my car that he wasn't able to take care of but he knew exactly who could and was able to get me in touch with the right person that was the cheapest pricing in the area. Mike's Brake and Alignment is amazing, the best and most trustworthy customer experience my husband and I have ever had with any mechanic. Even if their shop is slightly out of your way to get there, it is totally worth it to get this level of customer care.

Took my vehicle in for brakes and alignment, everything works great now! Fonzie also found a broken motor mount, and replaced. This stopped a vibration that no one else had been able to find. Will be taking my vehicles here from now on. Great communication, reasonable prices.

Having my truck serviced here was a wonderful experience. Fonzie is up front with the cost of the repair, and I received frequent updates on the status of my truck's repairs. Additionally, Fonzie called a few days after the repair to see how the repairs were holding up. If I have a problem with any of my vehicles while I'm in Fort Worth, I will definitely be returning.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

Walked in, ol' boy was a bit quick to jump to my suspension being trashed but no harm done I'd have asked the same questions in his shoes since it's vital to know for a proper alignment. Great service and I can't say I didn't watch from outside. Thoroughly enjoyed how meticulous and careful I saw him being throughout the entire process. Very impressed with Fonzie and I will for sure be back to Mike's for more service. Almost forgot to add this is on a freshly 6 inch lifted f150 King ranch with over sized tires, something most shops in this town have told me they won't touch, yet Fonzie didn't say no. He took his time and was very meticulous in assuring that it was done right and even rechecked it after to be sure. Definitely highly recommended for sure.

Had a great experience! Honest hardworking people who you can trust. Was greeted with a smile and a kind welcome from Lilia the office receptionist. Lilia confirmed every repair Fonzie would be performing on my car then offered me a beverage while I waited. Fonzie introduced himself and also offered confirmation of the repairs he was going to perform. The repairs went great and sooner than estimated they called to let me know my vehicle was ready for pick up. Price was exactly as they had quoted and I was not hassled to spend more money. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Fonzie provides exceptional customer service & does exceptional work. He is very honest and upfront about what needs to be done immediately and what work can wait. He has always provided me with quotes prior to performing any work and does not pressure or try to scare you into making decisions. It's very refreshing to find somebody like Fonzie and I recommend him to anybody.

We were looking for a fair and good mechanic and we are happy we found this place. The owner is a very honest mechanic and is truly an expert in what he does. He won t try to sell you repairs that you don t need, and gets the ones that you need done in a timely manner with a good price.

Came there for A/C service & ended up paying 150 for literally NOTHING. My A/C still blowing like a hot dryer. I even asked the tech why isn t the job completed if it s an A/C issue since I paid for A/C service? & he replied because it s an A/C problem & needs a diagnostics . Then I asked does the brakes have something to do w the A/C. He replied no then I asked what about the radiator? He replied no, then I what about the door panels? He replied no. Then I asked then why does it need a diagnostics? He went to patronizing me lol. Long story short, don t go there if you value your money & don t want to be scammed. The tech/owner name was Fonzie, more like ponzie to me lol.Services: Auto A/C recharge, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning

DO NOT GO HERE! I went here to get a state inspection only. He rejected my inspection due to the rear brakes being "metal to metal". He then proceeded to quote me $368 dollars saying the parts were $100 a piece and $140 for labor. I laugh on my way to auto zone to change my brakes for only $61. THESE PEOPLE WILL OVER CHARGE YOU IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS!!! RUN PEOPLE RUN!!

I was told $89 for the alignment on the phone but when I got there he told me it could be up to 2hrs in labor time Because it s a classic truck and the alignment is more involved, which I knew. So i approved the 2 hrs and told him that if it goes over 2 hrs to let me know. Well I go to pick it up and surprise they charged me 2.5hrs, not 2hrs like i approved. I asked him about it and he just wanted to fight with me about it so I paid the bill and left. I m driving my truck home to find that even after a $243 bill, my steering wheel isn t even center. I won t be back!
