Mallek Service, Inc.

This place is the best. My family usually brings our cars to them. They were busy a few weeks back so we had to bring the car to a different spot up the road. Got a quote for the work that seemed really expensive, so I got the car back and brought it to Mallek for a second opinion even though it meant waiting a few days to get in. Worth the wait! Less than half the cost of the other place! Over $1000 in savings. Thank you for your honest work!

It's like having a good family friend who happens to be a mechanic. The folks at Mallek Service have a very well earned reputation for being a great auto shop with rock solid ethics. They've always done great repairs for a really competitive price. We won't take our cars anywhere else.

Thanks to John Mendler and his fine staff for keeping my vehicles and business running. I must be a 35 or 40 year customer. I don't know what I'd do without this fine place. If you ever find an auto repair/gas station as honest, fair priced, and capable as this place, hold on with all you got!

John (proprietor and mechanic) and Dan (mechanic) are great! Very honest! Dan will often help out and not even charge. When the nearby car dealership service tells us some big expensive repair is needed, Dan will come up with free alternatives. I am very impressed. (My only fear in writing a good review is that if they become too popular, I will eventually have to wait for service :-) ). It is so worthwhile to have a place you can trust!!! I now often go in without doing any price comparisons because I know I will be treated right! Thank you guys!

Stopped in to get some help removing an old license plate. The kind folks at Mallek found a way to get the old, stripped screw out and installed my new plate for me. I tried to pay but they offered the service for free. I'm impressed and will be back!

I have worked on cars as a hobby for 40 years. My oldest car is 90 years old. I was recommended to Malek's 35 years ago by someone who got their Corvair worked on there. I have used and recommended this shop ever since for any make, model or year of car, domestic or foreign. There is no better service in the area. If they don't perform a specialized repair, they send you to other local speciality shops that THEY trust. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GET YOUR CAR REPAIRED OR SERVICED. THANK YOU MALEK'S SERVICE!

If you are of a certain age (like me), you remember when the corner gas station was the trusted place to take your car for service. You knew the mechanics by name and they knew your car's ideosyncracies. Mallek's is that place. We had heard of Mallek's but we took our cars to the dealer for service. We had the dealer fix an ignition problem, and week later got stranded downtown, double parked, unable to start the car--or take the key out of the ignition. The tow truck driver wanted to know where we wanted to take our car, and since we felt the dealer had made our prior problem worse, we asked for a recommendation. The driver gave all sorts of disclaimers about not steering business (his tow truck was from another shop across town), but said if it were HIS car, he'd take it to Malleks. We did, and we have been fans ever since. I can think of three or four times I've come in to Mallek's with what I thought would be a $100 repair, only to have John or Ron tell us it was fixed--and there was no charge. I've brought a battery in mid-winter, and they've turned it around in a few hours with a smile & a "thank you for thinking of us," and again, only a nominal charge if any. I had an ancient Subaru that had work done on it by a tribe of backyard mechanics. Rather than get in over their heads on somebody else's major screw up, they sent me to the best Subaru mechanic around, where my 'bu was put right. What I guess I'm saying is, Mallek's Service is all about trust. It takes a little while sometimes to get an appointment, because Ann Arbor's "little secret" is really not so much a secret. These guys do good work.

They have been taking care of my family's cars for over 20 years now. It's hard to find great, honest mechanics but they do exist. You will be treated like a family member and you will never be advised to do anything unnecessary. It's the only place in town that still has free air by the way, shame on everybody else. John, Ron the rest of the crew can often be seen helping the elderly get gas and they will even help you check your tires and oil if you like. I really can't say enough good things about the people and the business. Don't waste your time and money going anywhere else.

Mallek is there for the customer, polite, available, knowledgeable, and efficient.
I am grateful for what he did today for me and my car taking me on the spot for my problem even checking the tire pressure when I told him I had a low pressure tire.

Fantastic service on such a small issue. I couldn't get a pair of posts on my hydraulics removed from my trunk lid due to lack of a complete tool set. The guys at Mallek knocked it out in 5 minutes where I thought I was sunk. Great service, great attitudes, and just like the Terminator, I'll be back.

I have been going to Mallecks for 30 years and they are the best. They often have done things like put my hub cap on or even start a battery going with no charge- friendly and highly competent and their prices beat beat any dealer's by a mile!

A friend of mine had a car that wouldn’t start at intermittent times. She took it to a dealership and they charged her $150 to fix it. She still had the problem so she called the dealership and they told her they were sure they knew what the problem was and it would only cost an additional few hundred $’s. She was suspicious, so she took her car to Mallek’s for a second opinion. Mallek’s found the problem and fixed it for less than $20. She never had the problem again.

Her story sold me and I have been taking my vehicles to Mallek’s for over 20 years. I absolutely agree with the first reviewer “Honest, competent work …”. Mallek’s forte is American made vehicles. They will do what they can for your European and Asian made vehicles; such as oil and spark plug changes, tune-ups. They are popular and busy so you will need to call and schedule a few days ahead.

Be sure to tell John, Ron, Ross, Alan, and Danny that Robin says Hi.

The guys at Mallek have been repairing cars in my family since I was little. They are the only people I trust with my car and the only people I get my gas from. Jon and his crew are the best in the business :)

Really good service, they just opened up Saturday service, which is great for people who work during the week. The technicians explains everything and is timely in getting parts ordered and replaced. Very professional and unpretentious. Highly recommended local business.

A classic neighborhood gas station friendly and great service. The only gas station I know where you could stand at the cash register in the little office to pay cash for the gas you just pumped and watch a hummingbird sample the flowers outside the window.

Took my 97 Toyota Land Cruiser here for brakes and rotors and a few other things and they did and great job at a honest price. I would highly recommend this place

Friendly staff, convenient location. One of the oldest businesses in town. I have been buying gas here for over three decades. They provide full service for seniors and the disabled.

The only shop I'll take my car too! They're the best. Dan especially always remembers my car 🤣

My car just runs like a "$upertopp" when the pros at Malleks are done ! Always impressed n low prices too!😊..

Real mechanics who are always telling me what I DON'T need instead of trying to soak my bank account. An oasis of what Ann Arbor used to be like.
