You see the part
We keep what comes off your car. If we tell you a rotor is scored, we hand it to you and show you the groove.
Two bays. No runaround.
Independent auto repair on Highway 65 in Fridley. We show you what we find, price it before we start, and nothing gets fixed until you say so.
All makes and models. Foreign and domestic.
How we run the shop
The price comes first
You get the number before we start. If we open it up and find something worse, we stop and call you. We do not add lines to an invoice you already agreed to.
You talk to the person turning the wrench
No service advisor in the middle relaying messages. Call the shop and you get someone who has actually had your car on the lift.
What we fix
Diagnostics
Check engine lights, no-starts, electrical gremlins, and the intermittent problem the last shop could not reproduce.
Brakes
Pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, fluid, ABS faults. Grinding, pulling, or a pedal that goes soft.
Oil and maintenance
Oil and filter, fluid checks, belts, filters, and the scheduled service your manual actually asks for.
Engine repair
Misfires, leaks, overheating, timing components, and the bigger jobs when it comes to that.
Transmission
Fluid and filter service, shift complaints, and diagnosis before anyone says the word rebuild.
Tires and alignment
Mount, balance, rotate, patch, and alignment when the car pulls or the tires wear uneven.
Suspension and steering
Struts, shocks, bushings, tie rods, ball joints. Clunks over bumps and steering that wanders.
Heat and A/C
Recharge, leak finding, compressors, blower motors, blend doors. Cold in July, hot in January.
Not on the list? Call and describe it. If it is not something we do, we will tell you who does it well.
What people say so far
We opened this year, so there are two reviews. Both are five stars. We would rather show you the real ones than fill the page.
Their prices were more than fair, and the quality of their work was outstanding.
Great pricing on my oil change and pads and rotors that were changed.
You do not need the dealership for this
A dealer service department is built to move volume. You hand over the keys, and hours later you get a call from someone who has never looked at your car, reading you a list of recommended services.
We are two bays on Highway 65. The person who diagnoses your car is the person who fixes it. Ask why something needs doing and you get an answer from the one who found it, not a printout.
Your factory warranty stays valid at an independent shop. Keep the receipts and it is covered.
Questions people ask
Will you tell me what it costs before you do it?
Yes. You get a number before any work starts, and you approve it. If we find something else once the car is apart, we stop and call you.
Do you work on my car?
All makes and models, foreign and domestic.
Do I need an appointment?
Call first and we will get you in as soon as we have a bay open. Drop-offs are fine. If your car is not safe to drive, say so on the phone.
How long will it take?
Most maintenance is same day. Diagnostics usually take a few hours, because we would rather find the actual cause than guess at it. We tell you what to expect before you leave the car.
What should I do before I bring it in?
Note when the problem happens: cold start, highway speed, only when braking. If a warning light is on, leave it on. Clearing the code erases the data we use to find the fault.
