Quick, easy, affordable oil change; used to pay more than double at a place in Byron Center. Nice staff, the woman at the desk is always super nice and welcoming.

Westside is run by people who know what they’re doing and are willing to help people for fair prices. They will spend the time explaining what they should do to your car and why. I have never had them lie to me or make anything up. I felt very valued and will go back to them many times again.

Awesome service. Brian made sure to call me + keep me involved today as they serviced my vehicle. I haven't even picked up my car yet and already know I will be recommending them to my family and friends.

The starter went out on the Jeep and the crew here made a pretty bad day go ok. The Woman at the desk is a sweetheart and polite. She answered all my questions. The repair took a little bit longer than they said but not much. My only complaint was that I had to tow it in.
Great work guys keep it up.

I recently did some serious damage to my car and took it to Westside. They got it in, in less than 3 days and fixed everything perfectly.
I got a new suspension, struts, and an alignment for a low cost compared to other places. They called me with exactly what was wrong and gave me a great quote. They helped out even when I had to come in late to get my car due to my work schedule.
This was my second time using their services. I will continue to do so. Thanks Westside!

Two year ago now they sold me a bmw. Right off the bat I started having problems. Now it is completely useless because of all of the salt that had rusted out the bottom. My mechanic now said it should've never been sold. That's not the only problem people I know have had here. They seem trustworthy at first but hindsight is 20:20.

Update: Sorry Westside, but for as friendly as you guys were. I had someone else come, and see if you guys let her get a rental over the weekend and you did. Then gave an over-priced value for repairs on my car, and it never was inspected. Knowing I worked at a Car place, I have ins on parts, pricing, and etc. And you guys over-charged. The parts were $200 and less, Labor was $2500. During a COVID pandemic. And I was referred. They was even shocked about the loaner vehicle situation and pricing. You in fact were not the cheapest in town and lied about loaner vehicles and never inspected my car

I had been a customer of the owner of Westside Garage before he moved on Walker. I thought I had built a relationship with them. I had great service until I bought a vehicle from them. I bought a vehicle about 2 years ago and from the start I had issues with the vehicle. About a week after I purchased the vehicle the transmission went out. Thankfully it was under warranty with Bob's Transmission who honored the warranty. Next I steering problem, oil leak problem which never was repaired correctly. Radiator problems which they didn't honor. I ended up going to another mechanic. Because I was calling

Fantastic shop! I relocated to Grand Rapids over 10yrs ago and was in need of a mechanic. I was referred here and haven't gone anywhere since! I've taken all my of my personal vehicles, work vehicles, girlfriend's vehicles and referred friends who are now also regular customers. Their service here is amazing to say the least. A coworker's truck died unexpectedly on the job site one day. He gave Westside a call and they had a truck out on the job-site that afternoon to pick up his vehicle. They had it back to him the next day, fixed. He couldn't stop going on about how

I would never patronize this establishment after what I encountered. They have no respect for the American Flag. There is a completely torn and tattered Flag hanging out by their sign. I called and gave them them heads up and an opportunity to take it down, which they assured me they would... I drive by 2 hours later and it is still up. I'm sure they've had plenty of time to change their sign with their specials but have clearly neglected the American Flag. Don't expect business from me, my family, or friends. I also just received a call from the owner telling me all they do for

First, just to get it out of the way, West Side Garage pays for their reviews. Their receipt states "Receive a 10% discount for leaving a positive review on google or yelp". I'm sure not every single review was bought, but people ought to know this fact. Now my experience: I had my vehicle in for overheating issues/coolant leak and accompanied stalling problems. I informed them of all known issues, but apparently they only had the time or effort to replace a single radiator hose for $70 !! and made sure to tell me it came with no guarantee. They did not even give a glance to the

They always get me in fast and the work gets done in a timely manner. They got to the root of my car troubles instead of just treating the symptoms. And they worked with me on making it affordable. My whole family goes here whenever something needs fixing.

I brought two vehicles here and strongly felt the proprietor was shamelessly trying to up-sell and gouge me, exaggerating problems that were either non-existent or grossly overstated. One mark of an honest mechanic is they recite what problems they've found with your vehicle, but then tell you what you need to get fixed immediately versus what can wait. Dave Parm made every single item seem like it was critical that it was fixed right now on several things that were allegedly leaking, yet my driveway is bone dry. I also had the dealership later verify there were no leaks because I began

Ignition switch went out. Dave comped me a tow to get my vehicle there. Very prompt service. Constant communication. Repairs completed same day. It's hard to find a good mechanic. I will be bringing all my vehicles here from now on. Thanks Westside!
