What Our Customers Are Saying

Undercar Services, near Kalamazoo, MI

First time customer: My 2012 Jeep Liberty had a single piece muffler / tailpipe / resonator assembly. Dealer quoted an astronomical price to replace this whole assembly. R & T simply removed and replaced the bad muffler for a very reasonable cost (and timely). Diffidently will return in the future!

Leroy R.

R&T is a great shop. We have taken both our higher-mileage vehicles here for over 3 years now and have no complaints. Their prices are VERY reasonable especially compared to car dealerships' service departments. And, there have been several occasions in which their mechanics have gone "above and beyond" in helping us to get our vehicles out the door and back on the road so that we can keep other commitments. Call early for your appointment, though, because they are always busy!
