“In short; An honest shop with fair prices that does excellent work. Great communication, transparency on costs, and willingness to tackle frustrating/difficult troubleshooting. I won't be taking my vehicles anywhere else, it's worth my time to drive from Blaine to Elk River to go to SBR. Andrew and his team have taken excellent care of both my car and my wife's car.
More details: We were in a difficult spot when we needed to replace the catalytic convertor on my wife's car a couple years ago. SBR quoted us a fair price for the parts and labor, and got the work done in a timely manner, and we've had zero issues with the repair. Extremely easy to work with. Excellent first impression.
Now, earlier this month, my car was experiencing electrical issues. I did what maintenance and troubleshooting I could, but it quickly proved to be outside of what I was comfortable doing. I got quotes from a couple of shops closer to me, but those places were extremely overpriced and had no promises about being able to fix the issue.
I then took my car to SBR, and they were able to diagnose the problem and fix it, while checking over my earlier work and being honest with me about where I had made a couple of small mistakes. They also quoted me a fair price for some additional work; oil change, tire rotation, brake fluid. I was happy to have them do those jobs while they had the vehicle, because they've earned my trust and my business. All told, I spent less money than I expected, and got more work done than I had hoped for. A win-win. Should have just brought it to SBR in the first place; I won't mess around with the competition next time.
SBR is a rarity in the modern world of car repair. We need more businesses like this one! You will not regret taking your vehicle here for any sort of maintenance or repair.”

Whether we just need maintenance or a big repair, we know they will be honest and give us all the information we need to make a good decision. Their prices are in line with others, but their service is way above. With recent issues over Christmas, they did everything they could to treat us (and our car) with care. THANK YOU!

“Deanos did an awesome job on my car repair! It looks fabulous! Detailed the interior too! Part of the work was a new tire (rim). I just brought it back because I thought it maybe the rim not sealing. Wrong, I had a screw in the tire! They immediately fixed it and got me on my way! Come give them your next job! Great to work with and great service! Thank you Deanos!”
“Joe was fantastic to work with—great communication, excellent service, and a quick turnaround. He replaced all four tires and repaired a dent in my bumper, making it look brand-new again. I highly recommend All Tire’s services.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Fix Auto in Brooklyn Park. The team did excellent work on my vehicle and provided top-notch customer service throughout the entire process. My final cost actually came in $100 under the estimate, which was a great surprise. They also gave my car a wash, cleaned the inside, and even provided a loaner vehicle while mine was being worked on.
Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about making the process easy. I highly recommend Fix Auto in Brooklyn Park—they go above and beyond!”

“We brought our truck in for an exhaust repair and had a great experience. Scheduling was easy, the work was done quickly, and the quality was top notch. He took the time to listen to our concerns and clearly explain our options, which made the whole process stress free. Honest work, fair pricing, and great service. Would absolutely recommend.”
“I had my vehicle cared for by East Main Tire for over 2 decades. Never broke down or left me stranded. Staff is professional ,polite . Quality matainence and repair. I always felt safe driving .”
“I wish I could give a 5 star review for every interaction I’ve had with these guys. They’re the most honest and helpful car mechanic I’ve been to in my life, and I’ve had great mechanics in the past. They’re so fast and I genuinely feel like they help us find the best deal every time we bring in our vehicles. For example: they quoted us $1,100 to fix something in our van. The next day they called us back and lowered the price to $250 because, without our asking, they found a used part that came with a warranty. Never in my life have I experienced customer service like that!!! Super friendly, great hours. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Great service, very detailed description of our vehicle’s issues. Technician a service coordinator addressed only what was needed and didn’t push for more! Nice work!!”
“Love Amy:) she’s ma’ sweetheart!!! And she always lets me know when things are wrong with my car and what it all exactly means, lol! And the mechanic people are also just so kind and great!”
“I had an excellent experience at Cornerstone Kia in Elk River, and I can’t say enough good things about my salesman, Dan Hegge. From the start, Dan genuinely listened to what I was looking for and made me feel truly heard. His in-depth knowledge of the vehicles and his ability to clearly communicate all the details made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Dan’s efforts felt sincere, and I never felt pressured—only supported and well cared for. I left feeling confident, trusting, and extremely happy with my experience. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, honest, and truly has your best interests in mind, I highly recommend asking for Dan Hegge at Cornerstone Kia in Elk River.”

“Maple Grove Midas is amazing. Mike is always so cheerful and very helpful. Definitely makes you feel welcomed. They have a really good team and all are great. The dog is so cute and really well trained. Would definitely recommend coming to this shop.”
“I love these guys! They are always friendly and supportive when I am not sure what I should be doing with my car. I find them honest, and caring of their customers. They often have people waiting for their car and they obviously have a good relationship with them. I tell everyone I know about them. I am so happy and lucky to have had them recommend to me! Best decision I ever made! Their prices are very reasonable and in some cases, less than others. You won’t be disappointed!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They fixed my car and restored my trust in people — Slim’s is the real deal.
Slim’s came highly recommended by my close family friend, Dave Marrs — and now I understand why. Even after moving out of the area, Dave still drives back just to have Slim’s take care of his vehicles, and I see why that loyalty runs deep.
I showed up overwhelmed and just needing someone honest — someone who’d actually listen and not treat me like a transaction. They did exactly that. The communication was real, the pricing was fair, and the work was done right.
After my car’s “blower motor surgery” and a few diagnostics, I got behind the wheel, turned the key, and just felt it — that quiet, certain moment when you know your car is good. Slim’s didn’t just fix my vehicle… they gave me peace of mind, and in my current chapter, that means everything.

“My heater core went out in my Ram, which is a huge undertaking to repair. Not only did they get me in same day, but it was done within two days and everything looked perfect after the fact. With this repair they have to pull the dashboard out and everything was put back together perfectly. Can't say enough good things about JC automotive.”
“Very fast service. Very knowledge staff. Very quality work. Never had issues with their repairs. These guys know diesels very well. I wouldn't even consider going somewhere else. I take my truck to Fox Ridge for any repair. They repaired emissions system, transmission, bearings, You name it and it was all done well, quickly and reasonably priced.”
“It is really hard to find a mechanic shop that inspires confidence with accurate diagnostics and reliable repairs. Even after a preventive check-up, I thought the transmission would require expensive work. To my surprise, it only needed a small adjustment, and I was assured there was nothing to worry about. I am happy and confident to take my Sienna to Bernings. Thank you very much. 100% recommended!”
“My whole family uses this place. Best place ever. Words aren't sufficient enough for describing the awesome customer service, attention to detail and the prices are so fair it doesn't seem possible. They care about their customers and your vehicle. In an emergency they are the best. Sympathetic to your stressful situation and ready and willing to take some of the burden away. Fast service. Excellent workmanship besides. Worth the drive or tow wherever you live. When you want to hug your mechanic - you know it's good. They feel like an extension to my family.”
“What a great personal experience at Auto Star in Osseo! Vitaly was professional, personable, honest and fair in dealing. I went in by myself and felt very comfortable testing driving the vehicle with him!
He gave me a fair trade too!
I will definitely refer him to friends and family, and will have him look out for future vehicle needs we have. Thanks!”

“I thought I had to bring my generator in because it was not producing power, called Huttner to see how soon I could get in and instead got one of their experts. He walked me through some things and got the generator working, that speaks volume about this place. They called back and willing to put in time and help, where on earth can you still find that! This will be my place to bring my engine for service when it needs and will be letting all of my network know, thank you so much for your help!”
