What does it mean to be the best? For Mack Garage, it’s more than just great service, honesty, integrity, and fair pricing upfront. 

We believe in treating every customer with dignity and respect. That may be a retro-inspired idea, but it’s one that stuck with the owner early on and is exemplified in the way everyone employed with Mack Garage does their job on a daily basis. 

This also includes not selling you any part or service you don’t need, as well as free and helpful tips on optimizing your vehicle’s performance and longevity over time. 

Find Your Favorite Auto Repair Shop on Mack Avenue in Detroit. The entrance and parking are in the back

While our address is clearly marked on the street side of our Detroit auto repair shop, access to the garage is actually from the alley at the rear of the building.

This provides you with safe and ample parking and storage for vehicles as we work on them. Once you step inside, you’ll easily find the check-in counter and waiting room on your left, where you will be able to discuss your auto needs. There’s even a spot to sit and wait if you like.

A message from the owner

Eric Nielson

“I have been captivated by cars and trucks from as early as I can remember. This interest was not just limited to driving alone. My main interest was in the engine under the hood. I think the internal combustion engine is one of the greatest inventions ever created. In high school, I bought a 1972 Buick Skylark and quickly became immersed in restoring it. It still sleeps in my garage today.

Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of repairing hundreds of vehicles both in the professional setting and anywhere they happen to break down. I began focusing on domestic models, but after a short stint living in the Boston area I have become very knowledgeable about foreign cars also, specifically Saabs and Volvos. This passion continues to grow and has brought about the inception of Mack Garage.

My family and I came to the East side of Detroit in 2007. We came with other families and began Mack Avenue Community Church. We believe that this community needs resources reinvested to once again become a great place. Mack Garage is an attempt to do that by offering excellent automotive repair services. I am excited about teaching you how to properly maintain your vehicle, which will, in the end, save you lots of money, avoiding costly repairs.

So whether it’s advice you seek or a long-term honest mechanic, you have come to the right place!”
