Auto repair service near Savage, MN

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.

Another huge oil stain on new epoxy floor after Trinity oil change. Friday 1:00 PM Sue Ferguson, 2017 Honda Pilot

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.

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

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!

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

Brought car in for alignment. They did everything but what I asked. And i believe amount was way too high
