I had my vehicle towed to Bayliss Auto Shop and told them I suspected the timing chain has failed, but I'm no mechanic. Troy Engel said he would inspect the vehicle and let me know what was going on. He would never contact me. I always had to try to contact him to get an update. I finally did get in touch with him and he confirmed the timing chain did fail and it resulted in blowing the heads. He gave me a verbal quote of 2,500 dollars and estimated it would take them 6 weeks to complete the break down and rebuild of the engine. I asked him if I would be better off just buying a new engine and he told me no it will be cheaper rebuilding the engine thats in vehicle. So I agreed to have repairs done. After contacting him numerous times throughout the next 6 weeks "he never contacted me once with updates" . It was finally done and he told me the bill was 2900 . When I went to pick the car up I started it and the exhaust was super loud, and that wasn't the case when he got the vehicle. He told me it would be another 100 dollars to fix the exhaust he messed up and I would need to bring the car back in a couple days for the repair. So I paid the entire bill took the car home let it sit took it back a couple days later to have exhaust fixed. So I paid him a total of 3,000 dollars. The day after I picked the vehicle up it stalled out on the freeway just like initally did the first time. So I had the car towed back to his shop " Bayliss Auto" . I called him the next day and he informed me that my car needed a new engine. So after paying $3,000 for repairs I'm back at square 1. He then tells me he couldn't get me an engine. And I would need to find one myself. So long story short if I could give this company 0 stars I would. I ended up picking my car up in pieces and Bayliss kept the freshly rebuilt heads. I had to pay another shop 3,000 dollars to do what should have been done the first time. Troy Engel was very rude to me throughout the whole proccess he had my car for over 2 months. So please if your reading this do not take your car to this shop. You will be taken advantage of when your in a very vulnerable position . I don't see how this company is still in business. I will definitely be taking legal recourse against Bayliss Auto as they have vilolated many codes of the michigan motor vehicle service and repair act.

For a few months after the purchase of my auto, I took it to the dealer for maintenance. However, I found them to be a little pricey. My neighbor told me of Mac's auto and said he was very satisfied. I started taking my car to Mac's ever since 2010 for about 4 years, and I've been super satisfied since. Also the owner and all his employees are very nice.

We spoke about my experience & he remained very professional. I was impressed that he reached out and eliminated my worry. I will definitely return as they are a reputable business who clearly values their clientele.
