Auto repair service near Big Lake, MN

I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer and had the SES Light flashing. Using my scanner I found that it was a P0306 Error for misfire in the #6 cylinder. I heard bad things about this shop but being I just moved and that was several years ago that I heard the bad reviews, they were closer (7 miles) than my trusted mechanic (35 miles) I took it there since I was leary of that drive. They billed me $100 for the diagnostic and said that I needed a new CPI Unit for just over $1,000. I couldnt do it at the time so I waited on the repair. When I went to leave, my vehicle wouldnt even start now, found out that they did not properly hook my battery back up. After tightening the battery I went home. I made some calls to price shop the repair costs. I called my trusted shop and another location I have gone to before. They both quoted me over $250 less for the repair but both stated they had serious reservations with that diagnosis. I just brought my vehicle up to my trusted dealership a few days a go to have them look at it. They did the diagnosis and said that it was 1 bad spark plug and 1 bad injector. They also recommended having a general fuel system cleaning to get the other injectors clean before they clog up too. For the new spark plug, new injector, fuel system cleaning AND diagnosis I only paid $540. Boy I wish I had my $100 back for that bogus diagnosis. Stay away from this dealer as they will give you a faulty diagnosis for repairs that arent needed or do way more than what is needed (like replace a whole system when only 1 part is needed).

MOST UNTRUSTWORTHY DEALERSHIP EVER! Sold me a LEMON based on a bunch of lies. I can't believe the things I have found out about this car since buying it! Horrible! I have poured money into this car just trying to get it running again. And they have been no help, saying all the massive engine problems must have happened on the drive home (30 minutes) from the dealership, they never had issues. According to my mechanic, the car was previously in a wreck and probably never reported to keep title clean. Says definitely badly pieced back together to sell only. He advised never to go to this dealership and offered to come with next time... Worst part is Mach 5 claims to be dealership and mechanic shop that makes sure all cars are top of the line inside, as they've done the work. Yeah, right! DO NOT BUY HERE!!!!

The services is great and Chad at Absolute Automotive Services always works around my schedule to accommodate the routine service on my vehicle. I feel secure in knowing that the work done and any recommendations for future repairs are genuine.

A+ Service! Steve's Auto World MG started a Concierge service with my park n ride. I had them do an oil change. They picked my car up while I was at work. They texted me a detailed car report. Then they called to let me know I needed a tire rotation so I had them do that. I got back to the park n ride at the end of the day and there was my car in the same spot. The receipt was on my dash. They had washed my car AND vacuumed it out! I found a complimentary bottle of water and ice scraper in my cup holder. It is the little things that make a huge difference. I would certainly recommend Steve's Auto World! April T. Rogers, MN

This is the most dishonest mechanic around. If you are considering using them don't be fooled by their 5 star rating on their company page. They delete negative comments here and on facebook. They charge you for repairs that were never completed and then when you bring your car back, they charge you for more repairs. If you don't make the repairs they void the warranty. They have the worst customer service I have ever encountered.
