My muffler was noisy and needed to be replaced. The work was done in a timely manner and within the estimate, however, the exhaust noise is still noisy. Don’t know if it’s the replacement muffler or where the muffler is clamped to the existing tailpipe, but either way, it’s not good.

they replaced my break pads, and a couple weeks later they began squeaking when I was breaking. I brought it back in, but they didn’t hear the squeak or take the time to figure out what was going on. They dismissed my concern, saying maybe my breaks were dirty, wet, too hot…. and sent me home. I took my car to Brooklyn Park TGK and they took the time to figure out why my breaks were squeaking - Maple Grove put in the wrong kind of breaks. Maple Grove TGK is going to replace my breaks for the correct kind, but I don’t trust them to do it right. They have been rude and dismissive to me, and didn’t fix my car like they should have. I’m extremely disappointed and would not recommend them to anyone.

Trust worthy folks over there at Golden Valley Tire, Ryan has always been a great help in prioritizing what needs to be done and what can wait.

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.

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

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
