Auto inspection service near Blaine, MN

Overall the work on my vehicle was flawless, but the communication was below standard. I had schedule an appointment for an oil change and for a service check an my rear breaks. I dropped my truck off a day ahead of schedule as requested so they didn't have to wait for the vehicle to arrive to start work. On my appointment day I received an estimate in the afternoon which was great but greatly over estimated. I then called a few hours before the shop closed because I was wondering what the status was. I was told "I was just about to call you, are you okay with the estimate? We have the parts in shop, and would be ready Friday." I agreed and denied some of the other work requested because I didn't feel it was needed and waited till Friday. I expected a phone call when the vehicle was ready. I never received that call. I called them an hour before the shop was closing, I was worried or thought I did something wrong. I was shockingly told "We decided to pull two vehicles ahead of yours due to them having more severe damage. We figured you could pick your vehicle up and drive it this weekend and return it Monday as the work is minor and your vehicle is drivable." After that conversation, I decided to let them keep it because I was so worried about it getting bumped or even worse inadequate service(a rush job) to get it in on Monday. Monday morning I finally got the call that my vehicle was ready. Overall so far the work has held up and no problems. Knowledgeable mechanics that I believe could address and fix any problem you might have with your vehicle. I would say my experience. Stay close to your appointment. Call frequently to make sure the shop is working on your vehicle, and giving updates during your appointment window. To make sure your vehicle is being worked on. It took a week to do an oil change, and replace only the rear breaks/rotors, with all parts in the shop.

My rear end has this knocking I brought it in, they charged me $830.00 to fix “the knocking noise”. The noise didn’t go away and it’s louder now and on the phone they told me the noise had slowed and stopped which was a lie. I was so pissed I didn’t want to take my car until they fixed the issues instead of charging me for them doing nothing… never will be going back there!

Tony was very helpful with looking into a fix for a detached splash guard. I've been an Apitz customer for many years, and have always received prompt, courteous service.

Did the diagnostic on Friday morning at 7:30am 9/22 and never received the estimate to get repairs. It took the entire day to get the car back and still no idea on how much it will cost. Called yesterday and asked for the estimate, said they emailed it. That didn't happen. Would be nice to know what the price would be for repairs!

They charged me $1,600 for a new radiator that took them only minutes to install! Their prices are way too high.

Dropped my vehicle off the night before my appointment for an oil change. The vehicle still wasn't done by the "when needed time." The vehicle was complete right at closing time. The explanation was a bunch of excuses until a different service write came over and explained exactly what happened. Normally wouldn't be an issue for me but I needed my vehicle by a certain time that day. I've been going here for 13+ years so was slightly disappointed by the lack of explanation and inconvenience.

I asked them the check out my brakes because they were squeaking and to see if they can figure out why my car sounds rough when it runs. The technicians were honest that the brake pads did not need replacement as they were just rusty. The transmission flush has made a positive difference with the way my car runs and shifts. Overall, excellent experience.
