    • Vehicle Tips

      According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

    • Vehicle Tips

      The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

    • Vehicle Tips

      Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

    • Vehicle Tips

      A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

What our clients say about us?

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

  • Top notch service, Dave and his crew took care of my vehicle in a fast and professional manner. Why take my vehicles any where else.


    -Jason W.

  • Westside Garage is the only place I trust my vehicle with! I can always count on Dave and his employees to efficiently diagnose and fix any issues with my car. Their customer service, knowledge on cars, and honest communication always impresses me!


    -Brianna S.

  • I can't say enough about the service quality at Westside's Ottawa Ave. location. I overheated in rush hour today in downtown GR freeway traffic while moving-potential nightmare. I called and Pam routed me in by phone, Earl was there to greet me, and Joey had me back on the road home in about an hour after repairing a badly ruptured main radiator hose (for a fraction of what a dealership would have charged). I highly recommend to all vehicle owners, especially younger folks looking for a new auto specialist to trust. In 60 years, I've seen many repair places, but none better than Westside/Quality Auto Service Center.


    -Mark B.

  • I am completely out of my element when it comes to anything auto and unfortunately I've had a lot of mechanics take advantage of that. Not the case at West Side Garage. Every single employee I've encountered treats every customer with honesty and respect. I can't recommend them enough! Your car and wallet will thank you for being one of their customers.


    -Kristin B.

  • Didn't know they made mechanics like this any more! It was 3pm. 2 hours to closing. Passing through GR when our brakes go out. Dave not only found time to diagnose the problem for this out of town family but he fixed it with parts he had purchased for his personal truck. On top of that, he refused to charge us a dime - all the while knowing we weren't likely future customers because of how far away we live. God bless Dave and Westside Garage. Five stars is not enough.


    -Josh N.

  • First time visiting and will definitely return! Dave the owner was friendly and you can tell he cares about his customers. Pricing and service was fantastic!


    -Thomas W.

  • Thank you so much Westside Garage for getting my car on the road again safe! I appreciate you Dave, and your hard working staff. Also I want to say thank you for the loaner car. You guys are the BEST!!!


    -Bonny A.

  • These guys are the best! So thankful to have them on the west side. They've helped all of our vehicles, and have been so helpful and accommodating! Customers for life!


    -Stormy K.

  • I was so amazed with this place. I had a car emergency and they were quick to help me out and get the problem fixed so I could focus on my son in the hospital. The staff was so friendly and honestly I couldn't have asked for a better way to be treated. They had a busy schedule yet still made me a priority. Thank you to everyone that helped make it possible to fix the vehicle and make this as least stressful as possible! Bless all of you!


    -Mindy W.

  • Dave and his crew are simply OUTSTANDING! He is someone I have complete trust in for all my repairs! He will not rip you off. He is very helpful.


    -Kelly D.

  • Fantastic experience. Very reasonably priced and they are always courteous! Definitely my go to place in GR now!


    -Ashleigh D.

  • First and foremost, this place is very clean inside & out. Everybody works as team.The ladies at the desk are so polite! They made my day. The owner is straight up honest & will let you know exactly what you need pertaining your vehicle. He did an excellent job on my car! I truly appreciate this place:)


    -Teka

  • I've lived in the area for 3 years and have had a difficult time finding a shop that is trustworthy, efficient, and affordable. I've taken my vehicle to this shop twice and both times the shop owner, Dave, has walked me through the problems and my options for repair. Both repairs were affordable, and Dave was nice enough to throw in some complimentary care for my car. Needless to say, I've ended my search for a dependable shop.


    -Samantha G.

  • A great neighborhood auto service center! We've had our cars serviced at WestSide Garage since they opened several years ago. From the beginning I've been really impressed with their quality of service. It really seems like they go out of their way to make sure you feel well taken care of. Only once has there ever been an issue with something needing additional attention after they repaired it. All the follow up work they did to make it right was free of charge. Highly recommended!


    -Tim C.

  • After being quoted nearly $2000 in repairs on my 2006 Saturn Ion by another company, I asked friends for recommendations on other mechanics. We were told about West Side Garage and how amazing they were. We took our car in to West Side for a second opinion and turns out it was only vacuum line. What we were originally told was a $2000 was only $90. We couldn?t be happier and now have ourselves a new mechanic we trust. They are not a cash grab garage and value their customers. Highly recommend!


    -Charissa C.

  • These guys are awesome. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND to evaluate my truck and its needed repairs, recommend next steps with full transparency, communicate well, and work their butts off to do an outstanding job repairing my truck. They did a huge, tough job replacing an entire exhaust system including manifolds that were completely corroded, and my truck is doing just great now. These guys truly care about their work and the people they do it for.
