I’ve been looking for a great auto shop in Minneapolis since moving here in 2018 and I have finally found one I trust! I had a great experience going in for an oil change today. Brian is the friendliest guy and was honest in his report of what they found in my car with no pressure to purchase anything just awareness. Will definitely be bringing my vehicle here again the future!

Solid reputable clean thorough organized neighborhood auto repair. Yes, they charge $90 or similar to diagnose a check engine light. You get satisfaction and peace of mind by having an honest assessment. They get busy, too. Another sign of endorsement by local customers.

Mike, Nick, and Brian provide amazing customer service. They take to time to not only fix things correctly, but also point out potential problems in the future without pressure. A true pillar to the kingfield community.

Super friendly and affordable. Zero silly/dishonest upsells or snakeoil nonsense. They also put up with multiple last-minute reschedules on my end. No issue using requested OEM fluids either. All around a great shop.Services: General repairs & maintenance

I was originally pretty happy with the service, but I am having 2nd thoughts. I had my serpentine belt snap on me and these guys were able to change it at a decent price but due to a loose pulley the belt snapped again a month later requiring me additional repairs. A loose pulley was something I paid Hawkins to check so these additional repairs may have been avoided. As a single woman it’s difficult to find an auto shop to trust. This is hopefully a fluke and not common practice.

Great staff, responsive, fairly priced, community business for 70+ years. Even answered questions after my job was done. Great people and honest communication. Highly recommended.

We love Hawkins! Brian is the friendliest office manager. He kindly and thoroughly speaks the language of car in a way I can understand. :) Mike and Nick are also super kind and helpful. My husband and I only go to Hawkins and have been very satisfied with their service and professionalism. We have been customers since 2015 and love to refer our friends to them.Service: General repairs & maintenance

A coworker and another shop (that a different coworker had suggested) both referred me to Hawkins for a major engine overhaul. I drive a 2009 Subaru Forester. Subaru engines are generally much more difficult to work on vs other car makes and the work I had done (head gasket, timing belt, water pump, etc.) are complex jobs which usually cost upwards of $3000. This is critical work to keep a car running safely and well.I am glad I trusted Hawkins with this work. They did a great job and my car runs better than ever. The price was well below what other local shops had estimated and the additional work that was done at a more than fair price (and a great deal since these were opportunistic fixes or general maintenance with little extra labor).I've worked on my own and others cars in the past so I have a decent technical understanding of what a job like this entails. Hawkins know their stuff and I trust them.I will definitely be back!Services: General repairs & maintenance

I have been using Hawkins for the past 30 (thirty) years. I have always been happy with the service. I have never had to bring the car back because their work did not fix the car's problem. I have always been respected. It is a simple and delightful joy to go to a place where they actually know you and remember you. The staff feels like friends. There is trust. There is a warm human connection that always lingers with me when I walk out the door.I do not know of anything I could suggest for them to improve!George Lundgren MDServices: General repairs & maintenance

This place has amazing customer service! They diagnosed what was wrong with my car and when their quote for a full repair was out of my budget they helped me find lower cost temporary solutions all while being super kind and understanding. I really felt like they cared about what was best for me not just their bottom line.

I was new to town and got a flat on the highway so just searched for the nearest auto shop - lucky for me, Hawkins was right down the road. They ordered me a new tire (without telling me to replace the rest of the tires), got me all fixed up, and have been my shop ever since. I never feel like they're ripping me off or making me buy extra stuff but still know they're looking out for my car, which is getting older and needs more done with 120k miles. There's a bunch of places way closer to me but I'll go out of my way to keep bringing my car here. They're also kind to everyone who comes in. Wouldn't hesitate to bring any vehicle here, they've been great!

HAWKINS is great! We've gone to them for years and then this time we brought in a used car we bought. They fixed loads of stuff going on with our car. Some things we were concerned about, and some things we were surprised to learn. The main thing was cracks in our drive and timing belts (!) that they replaced. But they also diagnosed a set of complex electrical problems (internal lighting and door lock security key remote recognition) which they sleuthed all down to one little fuse. Works great now! They gave us a good oil change, rotated our tires and repaired one of them, the list kind of goes on and on. For your safety, check that your vehicle is maintained frequently, and when you do, go to Hawkins! They're lightning fast and super friendly.Services: General repairs & maintenance

Nice people. Bad job. Overcharges and didn't even fix it. Do not recommend, even though they are nice.

I've been going to Hawkins for years after being referred to them by a friend. The quality of their work and advice is excellent. In particular I like their honest approach to repairs - a clear explanation of what needs to be done and why without any upselling. As a small business owner myself, I appreciate that they are locally family owned.
