History
Established in 1990 Recognizing the need for a high quality automotive service company on the lake shore, Automotive Advantage was started in November of 1990. After building our reputation for the finest import auto service in the area, we changed our name from Automotive Advantage to Cars for Keeps to better reflect our expanded capabilities and investment in training, equipment and specialty tooling to provide service for all makes and models of cars and light trucks. In 2002, we were chosen as the areas only ASE Blue Seal of Excellence Garage. In 2003, we achieved Bosch Car Service recognition. Affiliation with the Robert Bosch Corporation gives us access to technical information,training and parts relationships that fewer than 1,500 other garages in the nation have access to. In May, 2011 we acquired the former Dr. Phils Auto Clinic building in Spring Lake Michigan as our second location.
