What Our Customers Are Saying

Great Service!!! Was on freeway with an engine overheating situation in a 2012 Buick, called Onstar who patched me through to a dealer, no help there. Pulled over to this BP SERVICE station, and a real mechanic diagnosed the situation, hosed down the radiator and gave sufficient advice to get us safely down the road. Highly recommend them!!!

These people have one of the best service departments I have ever been to. They are always prompt, polite, and professional. Thanks, guys!

I have been getting my car serviced here for many years. They are excellent mechanics and very honest. They discuss all options before they fix things, and let me know what is absolutely necessary to fix and why. I have lots of confidence in their work. I have had them evaluate used cars that I was interested in buying, and they saved me twice from buying a lemon. While I left the car one time, the owner stopped what he was doing to give me a ride home. Definitely a place I would recommend.

Anthony and his team are the best! I have been going there for over 20 years. They are honest and good at what they do! What more is there to say! Lots! They work hard to help out when it's an emergency. Anthony has always given the best advice about my cars and understood where I was coming from on a car that wasn't going to be around for long. He has never tried to "sell" me on anything like some other places do. Being a women it happens. Anthony is someone I trust completely! That says a lot these days! I would recommend them highly!

We've been going to Colonial Amoco-turned-BP for more than 15 years for service on our cars. They are reliable, dependable, the price is right and we've never had further problems with any of our cars after being serviced there. Owner/Paul runs a great operation and Anthony, the manager, is very customer-focused. In brief they know what they are doing. We've lived in many cities and have used many different automotive service stations. Colonial BP in Ann Arbor is the best.

Very helpful and friendly mechanics! No sales people (like in big stores) to deal with. I am very happy with them! They are honest and will tell you everything, and will give you a good price.

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
