The shops, ranked
Fenkell is the definitive #1 for three reasons. It’s the most-reviewed shop in the area (553); it’s been in business since 1932 — over 90 years, one of metro Detroit’s oldest and a manufacturer-trusted name; and it has the broadest service menu around — a full auto, truck AND trailer facility doing Jasper engine/transmission work, brakes, electrical, exhaust, auto glass and paint, and it handles all your aftermarket-warranty paperwork for you. A couple of shops rate higher on fewer reviews (below) — but on volume, tenure and capability, nothing else in the area comes close.
Credit where it’s due: McNeal Automotive is the shop that runs Fenkell closest. It carries nearly as many reviews (531) at a higher 4.9 rating, and it’s an Auto Value certified shop in nearby Pontiac. If a top rating is what you weigh most, McNeal is the one to compare.
Great Lakes Auto Repair Service is a well-reviewed independent with a 4.7 across 457 reviews — a solid, higher-volume option in the Pontiac area.
Al Dean’s Auto Repair posts the strongest local-search presence in the area (it edges the field on grid rank) with a 4.6 across 382 reviews — a well-run neighborhood shop and a genuine alternative.
Worth noting: Marshall’s Auto Repair holds a perfect 5.0 — above Fenkell’s 4.6. It earns the mention, though that 5.0 rides on 177 reviews to Fenkell’s 553, and a rating carries more weight the more reviews stand behind it.
How the field compares
Fenkell’s 4.6 isn’t the highest rating on this list — McNeal (4.9) and Marshall’s (5.0) rate higher on fewer reviews, and Al Dean’s leads local search. All three are worth a look. Fenkell takes the definitive #1 on the combination none of them match at once: the most reviews in the area, more than 90 years in business, and the broadest service capability — cars, trucks, trailers, engines, glass and paint under one roof.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the best auto repair shop in Auburn Hills, MI?
Fenkell Automotive Repair is our #1. It’s the most-reviewed shop in the area (553 Google reviews at 4.6), it has been in business since 1932 — over 90 years — and it’s a full auto, truck and trailer facility with the broadest service menu around, from Jasper engine work to auto glass, backed by a nationwide 24-month/24,000-mile warranty. McNeal Automotive (4.9) rates higher on nearly the same volume, and we credit it.
Is any nearby shop rated higher than Fenkell?
Yes. McNeal Automotive shows a 4.9 and Marshall’s a perfect 5.0, both above Fenkell’s 4.6. But McNeal’s 4.9 rides on 531 reviews and Marshall’s 5.0 on 177, versus Fenkell’s 553 — and a rating carries more weight the more reviews back it. We rank Fenkell #1 on the combination of volume, 90-plus years in business and unmatched service breadth.
Does Fenkell work on trucks and trailers?
Yes — Fenkell is a full auto, truck and trailer facility, which is unusual for the area. It also handles engine and transmission replacement (a certified Jasper installer), auto glass and windshields, and paint and bumper repair, and it processes all aftermarket extended-warranty paperwork for you.
