I used to tell people how good service was at Tapper, but I used to tell people how good service was at Tapper, but after my most recent experience I see that things have changed there. recently I experi I used to tell people how good service was at Tapper, but after my most recent experience I see that things have changed there. recently I experienced problems with my '04 Saturn. Since Saturn is now closed I took it to Tappers where we had always taken our Buick. They told me they had a Saturn specialist who would work on it. The problem I had was the car was not starting. I suspected something in the charging system or ignition, but when they finaly got around to looking at the car several days later, I was told that I had a bad starter and "other issues" which would be in excess of 15,000.00 to fix. When I asked about the "other issues" I was first told that I needed to replace the water pump and some gaskets as well as the starter. After a conversation with the tec who worked on the car he told me that he really didn't think the water pump was a problem, but that it would be easy to replace "while they were in there". He did feel however that the starter was my problem. I told them to go ahead and replace the starter, which they did, at a cost of over 600.00 dollars. I thought the price was pretty high, but if it had fixed the problem I would not be writing this. Trouble is, less than two weeks later I have the same problem. My car refused to start and I was broke down 40 miles from home. I opened the trunk and pulled up the flooring in the trunk space to expose the battery compartment and found my battery sitting in 2 to 3 inches of water and the battery cables submerged in this mess. When I called to ask for Tappers to pick up the car and look at it Randy (in the Service Department) put me through to Mister Tapper.Mr. Tapper told me that he was sure that his tec got it right and that the submerged battery cable could not be my problem.(This without seeing the car.) When I asked if his tec had inspected the battery he told me that it was not nessisary as he could get all of the information he needed from "under the hood". I told Mr. Tapper that I thought he should schedule a tow truck to pick up my car and fix what they had failed to fix the first time and he said that all of his trucks were "on the other side of the state". I went back to my car, pulled out the battery , sopped up the water from the batery compartment and dried off the wet cables. I then put the battery back in and it started right up. I now have to find a new mecanic to fix the real problem. It's posible that the starter really was bad, but it seems likely at this point that the wet wiring was a contributing factor if not the whole problem. The fact that Mr. Tapper would not even bring the car in and look at it after carging me over 600.00 dollars to repair this problem less than two weeks before is a real disapointment to me. I don't plan to return there for service or to purchase a car. More

I have purchased my family's most recent 5 vehicles from Justin at John Tapper Automotive, traveling across the State from Novi, MI to Paw Paw since my first experience in 2001. I feel comfortable with wor Justin at John Tapper Automotive, traveling across the State from Novi, MI to Paw Paw since my first experience in 2001. I feel comfortable with working with this dealership due to their customer service and family atmosphere. If problems/questions arise after the purchase, they do their best to assist despite the distance. I especially enjoy their new dealership, which I believe was constructed within the past year or so, something I witnessed when traveling to Chicago last week when stopping by to look at new models.

I have been purchasing vehicles from Tapper's for the last 16 years and truly do feel as though I am part of the family. It is so nice going to a dealership and knowing everyone's name & having them kno last 16 years and truly do feel as though I am part of the family. It is so nice going to a dealership and knowing everyone's name & having them know my name! I have dealt with the same people the entire time I have been a customer of theirs. I have been into other dealerships where the person I talked to the previous month no longer works there - this has never happened to me at Tapper's. They have earned me and my family as customers for life and I would obviously recommend this dealership! Great service & great people! Keep it up! More
