My family has been loyal Lindems customers for nearly a decade. Ark and Anna are straight shooters, know their cars, and treat customers fairly. I can always count on them to give me the best price and options for repair and they stand by their work. Over the course of 5 years they have helped me replace my entire suspension of my 20 year old BMW. Whereas other shops and dealers would have insisted that I replace everything at once, weve been working on an as needed basis allowing me to keep within budget and not pay to replace perfectly good parts. I trusted them enough to buy my new"er" BMW from them because they would stand behind the car. They have been great with it as well. The negative reviews Ive seen are mostly emissions checking related which in my experience tends to bring the worst out in people. (Annoyance of govt interference, penalties, late charges, unexpected repairs, or long overdue repairs - all above and beyond the usual issues of getting your car serviced or repaired). Ive heard many exasperated emissions customers annoyed that Lindems wont bend the rules for their "P.o.S." car thats belching exhaust and the muffler is dragging on the ground. Lindems is fair, ethical, and responsible. Their only quirk, is that rarely call you back. Just call them back

A one star would be too much for this place. I paid $6,000 to get my car fixed and i later found out that the hood to this day does not open and have to use a screw driver to open it. The fog lights are disconnected. Some of the rudest business owners i have ever encountered. SO much so that it is not even worth the head ache of going back to deal with this. Very disappointed, i wouldt go back there even if walking was my only other option. Took my car in for body work and my car came back with more paint marks than it went in with. Absolute careless service and quick fix no trouble shooting at all. I will say that the prices are slightly lowe than else where but if you are ok with going somewhere else and paying to finish the job and end up paying near double then great. But id say just save yourself the headache and spend the extra 10% and get it done right.

I have had nothing but great experiences here. Ark is an honest mechanic you can trust. I brought my car in when I got it for them to check over and they said everything was great (when others may have seen a money making opportunity). I had a few lights replaced and a tired and the price was more than fair. This year I brought my car in because, after going to the dealership for an oil change and new key they gave me a list of things that needed fixing. So I took my car to Ark- and he didnt even want to know what they had suggested because he didnt want to rip me off. Its super appreciated since he suggested only the sway bar links need replacing. I definitely trust Ark and Lindems auto. And its a big deal for a girl in Milwaukee to find a trustworthy mechanic.

these are the most rudest people Ive ever dealt with. I went in to have an emissions test done and breaks and a tune up. The woman was rude cutting me off after one or two words. I wanted to schedule an appointment but she already scheduled me into one without even asking me was I available! I cancelled and just got my emissions test. The men that work there as well have no customer service skills and speak to you in a derogatory manner because I know about the pieces to my car and they tried to argue with me otherwise. Needless to say I will never look to that establishment again for service.

I recently started taking my car here after receiving a recommendation from a friend. I have been more than impressed. I have never walked out of the place unsatisfied and Ark always explains to me in non-mechanic terms what is wrong and how he (or is going to) fix it. Has more than once shopped around for parts to get me a better deal. Great Place, Great owner, and for a hockey player/fan like me, you can beat the fact that he fixes some of the Admirals cars and has framed jerseys and sticks in his waiting room.

This is a family operated business and my "go to" place for trustworthy and fair priced auto repair. I have found the management at Lindems to be honest in every regard. There are always opportunities for a repair shop to pad the bill . . . not at this place. They will give you a realistic assessment about your repair request. They even discourage repairs if they feel your vehicle no longer warrants the investment. Thats honesty!

Weve been to Lindems several times in the last 6 months and were very happy with their service. My husband and I both have older cars and we hate spending a ton of money on repairs. Repairs are done well and the cost is very reasonable. Super nice people too. So good having a place we can rely on when we need an auto repair.

My experience at Lindems was nothing shy of amazing! I dropped my car off at 11 a.m. and was back by 1 p.m. the same day to pick it up. They were inexpensive, yet thorough. I would take my car back here in a heartbeat. Ark was the nicest guy and excellent to work with!

Very unprofessional, very rude and have no respect for customers and try to cheat and make money. UWM students and any new car owner please please dont go there. Even one star is much for these ill people but that is only option to post here. I would rate them zero.

I just had my car serviced here for the first time. Affordable repairs, professional and knowledgeable staff. I will only have my car serviced here from now on. Thanks for the awesome service.

one star is also more to this place! I did several repairs there and they just ask a lot of money to let me fix this, fix that just because I am newbee to car! Terrible service! never go there!

The owner, Ark, is a very good guy and he knows his stuff. I have been going here for years and bought my last car from him. It is hard to find a mechanic you really trust. Ark is one of them.

Tried calling to ask about emissions testing, they were very rude on the phone and apparently dont do testing any more.
