Tire repair service near Coon Rapids, MN

Front brake job requested (pads and rotors). Immediately noticed new knocking type noise over bumps in front right tire following repair. Take tire off, there are NO caliper bolts (should be 2, there are none). Only thing holding the caliper from flying off was the tire rim. Very dangerous and very unsettling that this is the quality of workmanship and apparently no test drive was done. I was a loyal customer.

Overall I’m happy with my experience in interaction with the staff. My car was ready about the time promised which was great. I was a little confused by the follow up text because a lot more was done than the alignment that I brought it in for. While this was somewhat appreciated, I discovered the next day that the airbox screws were not tightened back down so it was loose. I’m now concerned about what other things might have been a little sloppy. These things happen I know but thought you should be aware.

I took my college students car to Lake Elmo repair for an oil change and a headlight being out. I told the tech that the headlamp was brand new (and retested in the other headlamp) and that the problem had to be in the wiring harness. The total charge was $165. It appears they simply replugged the light in. My student told me 2 days later the “oil change” alert was still on and that the headlight was out (again). I had him take the car back to Lake Elmo Repair and they told him he would need to bring it back with an appointment. I don’t think it is fair to expect us to have to come back according to their schedule when the problem was the poor workmanship of Lake Elmo Repair. I figured the convenience of this shop would be worth it - but it’s not. I’m going back to Myron’s

Quoted $352.96 for an Evap Purge error as a "starting point" to solve the problem. Mechanic down the road said to go to O'Reilly to get the $30 part and do the 15 minute repair. Problem solved. Not happy with the attempted scam. I can see why Facebook forum says how bad this place is.

Car was making unusual sound, brought it into TGK, they diagnosed it and gave me a written estimate for $1100 decided to get a second opinion ad that seemed high….. was able to have the car looked at by another established mechanic who said it needed $200 worth of work…. works great now and our family will no longer be a returning customer to TGK as we no longer have the confidence that they are being honest in their evaluation of work needed

Car was there three times for a simple alignment. Ive beat my head against the wall enough over the incompetence. After first appointment the car was worse than when I brought it there. I could go into much more detail but it's not worth it. Complete waste of time and money. I'll gladly go somewhere else.!! ????
