History

Established in 2009.

Mike started this business after working for other shops for over 30 years. He wanted more of a Mom and Pop shop where you were treated like family and enjoyed coming into a family atmosphere. Mike aquired a top notch right hand man Joe Cavazos, who he has worked with for over 12 years and asked him to come on board. Joe agreed and completed what was needed for a great start to a solid repair shop. After 2 years, trying to hold things above the mark in a quality shop as it grew, Mike’s wife Kim came on board to take over what began to be overwhelming for Mike to handle. Kim took over the office and paperwork and began to write service. She has become a cornerstone for this operation and works well with customers. She understands what it takes to keep a family operation just that. We will provide a ride. if needed, when you are a local resident.

I have worked in the automotive field for over 30 years. I am a licensed smog test and repair technician. GM trained. I carry an A/​C license for R-​134 and R12 freon. I do computer diagnostics, brake repairs, drivabillity issues, A/​C repairs, check engine lights, timing belts. I also work on Motorhomes. I will work on just about anything! I enjoy what I do in my trade. On a personal note I have been married to my wife and best friend Kim for over 32 years and have 2 awesome children. I would not change my life for anything. I love to take rides on my bike when time allows. I love to BBQ and cook for the family. My favorite get-​away is Lake Tahoe. We are a christian family and belong to Bear Creek Church.

1 star on customer service. They are after your money not keeping customers. When I first went into mikes, I had a check engine light on. I already knew the problem and the code. My plan was to double check code and repair the smog issue. However after they charged me 90 bucks they told me the repair was going to be over 600. My next step was to get assistance from the state. Which I was willing to do for them to finish the job. They neglected to inform me that they don’t do «star» smogs, which is what I needed in the first place. Left paying 90 knowing I was on unemployment for checking the light for which I already knew what was wrong with the engine anyways.
Just because they have knowledge, doesn’t make them prideful money~hungry non customer service skill set. They will service you if you don’t care about good customer service, cuz believe me, I hope there reading this cuz, I would’ve been back even if the credited me 40 buck out of 90. It’s called customer service ! FYI, they moved from a different location cuz they couldn’t afford previous place. What does that tell you?

This morning I woke up planning to spend a few hundred dollars on new brakes or brake pads because I had it in my head that I needed them. I called Mike’s and told the gentleman on the phone the I needed new brakes and asked for a quote. When I told him how many miles I had on my car be instantly said that he didn’t believe they would need them but that he would be happy to do a free brake inspection. I brought my car in an hour later and was helped instantly. I was so sure that, like most places I’ve taken my car to, they would look for any opportunity to get me to spend money, and since I have a 2400 mile drive ahead of me, I’m not in much of a position to argue with a mechanic. To my surprise, this is far from what happened! They eased my concerns regarding my breaks, and even adjusted them a little so I wouldn’t have to push the peddle so hard to break! And they did all this without charging me a dime. So glad I found mechanics that I can trust!

Woah okay take your car here! These people are not ripping anyone off! I will admit that I know nothing about cars but after coming here I know I’ve been majorly ripped off by pep boys. Which is sad on my part. But I highly recommend these peeps, they are honest and have really good rates. I was sad when wheel works left but I am very pleased with who replaced them. Thank you guys!

Service was friendly and efficient. I appreciated how staff kept me informed as work was completed and process of elimination was performed. Bill was kind enough to keep, the reason for my break down, one of my life’s biggest secrets strictly confidential, lol!

It has become harder and harder to find an honest, mechanic in Stockton. Thank the Lord I saw Mike’s ad in the Bear Creek Church magazine! I was more than willing to drive to Lodi if it meant doing business with someone trustworthy. My «old faithful» pickup needed a lot of work done as I had neglected to keep up with servicing for a couple years. Mike had it purring like a kitten in less time than I expected at a very reasonable cost! He even told me I didn’t need new belts and that he just needed to clean up the oil that was all over. Most mechanics try to get you to buy new parts even when not needed. Kim was very friendly and helpful, and gave us a very positive first impression of what we could expect. I’m so glad we found Mike’s Automotive! Now we have a place to service ALL our vehicles!

Mike and Kim are super friendly, trustworthy hard-​working people who care about people, not dollars. Always able to get my vehicle in, no matter what the repair/​problem is! Very affordable. Mike and Kim always take care of me– I wouldn’t take my vehicle any where else. Truly a gem. in a town full of auto hack-​shops. Stop by and see Mike for all your Auto care needs!

Yesterday one of our solution partner’s, Good Dog Bed Bug Detectors, vehicles broke down shortly after completing a K9 inspection of a major account of ours. Her AAA tow truck driver suggested a repair shop that didn’t have very good Unilocal reviews so we did our own search. With the added reference of Dennis Cunnington at Bruce’s tire we took her 2001 GMC Safari to Mike’s. Kim and Mike were very helpful and got a quick diagnosis of a broken fuel pump — we kind of already knew that based on our own diagnosis — and then came up with a estimate that was fair and reasonable. Within four hours Jennifer and the two Bed bug dogs were off on their way home. Amazing!!!

This is my fourth year relying on Mike’s Automotive for servicing both of our old cars, which are reliable, even though aged, courtesy of Mike’s… I did not think his shop could get any better, but their move from the cramped space to a new, expanded facility has make it even more pleasant to have vehicles repaired.
The waiting area is comfortable and hospitable, and the complimentary coffee is first rate. They have added another mechanic, which is appropriate, since business seemed to have increased noticeably. I would recommend this shop to anyone who appreciates courteous, expert, auto service…

Mike, Kim and the Guys are the only place I will take my vehicles (unless I need tires because we all know they don’t sell tires). Not only are they knowledgeable and competitively priced, you can tell they truly care about their customers. Thanks for the great services!

Mike is very patient and knowledgable. His staff is friendly, and provides excellent customer service. If you have a question, they will take the time to explain the problem. He will also give you an honest opinion on how to handle your car problems, not just the most expensive route. We have referred him to other friends and family.

Took my mom here to get her suv checked out after a shop in elk grove told her that she needed spark plugs and was going to charge over 500 dollars. After I had heard the noise she described I automatically knew they were pulling a scam and found this place for her. Right away I knew I had made a great choice, they are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. After popping the hood and hearing the noise he also knew right away it had nothing to do with spark plugs. While checking the engine codes he gave my mom a hard time about buying a Ford, opened and cleaned the throttle body and the noise was gone. They only charged us 20 bucks, these people are great and I will definitely bring my vehicles there for now on.
