Mark Mackley Automotive Repair

Mark Mackley Auto Repair;
Family Owned for Over 30 Years

Mark Mackley Auto was started in June of 1985 by Mark Mackley, my dad. Mark grew up with a strong background in automotive repair. He had worked for a few businesses previous to starting his own shop and also worked nights in our family garage in order to make sure food was on the table, and us kids had clothes on our backs for school. After many years with a previous employer and working long hours on night and weekends, working for someone else caused Mark to experience burnout. One day he decided to leave his previous employer of 12 plus years and go out on his own. Mark Mackley Auto Repair was born!

The business was an immediate success and Mark wished he made the decision years ago. 29 years later, Mark was getting ready for retirement from the shop he opened at 5958 Swan Creek when he was faced with an unfortunate accident with his wife, my mom. Both were lucky to be alive! Unfortunately, Mark was left with a career-ending injury to his hand. I decided to help run the business and keep it open. I am also a career firefighter for Buena Vista here in Saginaw. Unfortunately, I was letting the business fail, for not managing it to the standards Mark would expect to give his customers.

Now present day, I have decided to spend more time ensuring the friends and customers my dad had established over 29 years are taken care of to his standards. I have changed my team to people that I believe have a great wealth of knowledge and the drive to succeed to bring another 30 years to Saginaw. We now are a full-service transmission shop and plan to grow and to bring more specialties into the business. Mark misses the friends he has made over the years and wishes he could see many of them still. So hopefully I and my new team at Mark Mackley Automotive will continue to see everyone for the next 30 plus years. I look forward and enjoy seeing the faces I grew up seeing and hearing the stories you have to bring!

Thank you all for being loyal customers. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Dad’s shop!
