What We Fix and Service
Full-service repair and maintenance for every make and model on the road.
Air Conditioning Service
Keep your cabin cool when Michigan summers hit.
A failing A/C system isn't just uncomfortable. It usually means a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or a worn belt that will cost more the longer it's ignored. We diagnose the root cause and fix it right the first time.
Car Battery Service
Don't get stranded with a dead battery.
Cold Michigan winters are brutal on batteries. If your car is slow to start or your electrical system is acting up, bring it in. We test, replace, and properly dispose of your old battery on the spot.
Check Engine Light
That light means something. Find out what.
Most shops plug in a basic code reader and guess. At Kerner's, we run a full digital inspection through Techmetric to identify exactly what's happening with your vehicle before we recommend any repair.
Oil Change
The most important maintenance you can do for your engine.
We use the right oil specification for your vehicle, not whatever's cheapest. Every oil change includes a multi-point inspection so nothing gets missed.
Hybrid Repair
Qualified to work on the vehicles most shops turn away.
Hybrid systems require specialized knowledge and equipment. Our technicians are trained on hybrid technology and can handle what many independent shops in Shelby Township and Utica simply can't.
Shocks and Struts
Bad shocks don't just make for a rough ride. They're a safety issue.
Worn shocks and struts affect your braking distance, your steering response, and your tire life. We inspect the full suspension system and replace what needs replacing, nothing more.
Tire Sales
New tires, properly installed and balanced.
We carry tires for all makes and models. Every set is mounted and balanced by our technicians, with a full alignment check recommended on installation.
Wheel Alignment
Misalignment costs you money on tires and fuel every single mile.
Even a minor alignment issue accelerates tire wear and pulls against your fuel economy. Kerner's uses precision alignment equipment to get your vehicle tracking exactly where it should.
53 Years. Same Family. Same Standards.
Kerner's Auto Service opened in 1973. That was before most of the shops competing for your business in Shelby Township even existed.
Mike Martin runs the shop today with the same core belief the business was built on: fix it right, explain what you found, and treat people like adults. No unnecessary repairs. No vague estimates. No surprises on your bill.
Every technician is ASE-certified and goes through ongoing training. Every inspection is documented through Techmetric, a digital workflow system that gives you a real record of what was found and what was done. The shop floor is clean. The process is structured. The work is backed.
If you're tired of wondering whether your mechanic actually knows what they're doing, you've found the right shop.
