Ford Hybrid Mechanic near Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti MI?

September 4, 2015 2:55 PM

I am looking at buying a used Ford Fusion hybrid but would like to get it inspected by an independent mechanic as to its condition before doing so. I don't have personal experience with any local mechanics or repair shops, nor do I have any idea which ones are familiar with Ford hybrids.

I am less worried about the actual hybrid components, as those have a few years' warranty remaining, as I am the rest of the car which is out-of-warranty. But, I would still prefer to take it someplace that is familiar with hybrids.

If you don't know anything in Ypsi/A2, I'll take suggestions anywhere in the greater metro area. Thanks!

I had good experiences with Convenience Auto, but that was with a Subaru. I can't say how they'd do with a Ford or more specifically a hybrid. But they were kind, treated me like an intelligent person, and (unlike the dealer) had a habit of actually fixing things that were broken.

Advanced Automotive and Transmissions onot Jackson Road was very good to me when I lived in Ann Arbor, also not with a hybrid. But they identified a small issue (trunk not closing properly) as part of a manufacturer's recall, and then recommended I drive across the street to the dealership to have them do the work fixing it for free.
