Dan, Terry and their staff are nothing short of fantastic! They are professional, fair, dependable and bend over backwards to help out when in a bind. I wouldnt take our vehicles anywhere else. Thank you Dan, you make it very easy to trust in you, all while you are in an industry that many others are not so reliable. Thank you!

I’ve had a great experience the couple of times I’ve used Swanstrom. Very friendly, straight forward with the price which I’ve found to be fair. Took them a little longer on a job than expected and I still was only charged what they estimated. Great place to get your vehicle worked on whether it’s maintenance or repairs.

I will always use this place for any and all auto repair. they are a very affordable shop. They do top notch work. they are very friendly and knowledgeable. I think there the best shop in our area. check them out. they will most likely beat out everyone on prices.

I was on my way to Fargo and had an oil pressure issue just before Alexandria. They were able to replace the sender and I was back on way within an hour.

Went to get my cv axle fix and lower ball joint. Wow, super quick service and great service. Plus humble knowledge workers

Increadibly fast! Excellent service 😀

Honest mechanics that dont price gouge. Dan is very good at simplifying issues for those of us who arent car savvy. Ive brought my vehicles here since I found them and wouldnt trust anyone to be as straight or fair with me as they are.

Very friendly knowledgeable and reasonably priced.

Great to work with! Was honest, took care of my sons car issues and even worked on fixing something from somewhere else that still was under warranty.

Very knowledgeable, very thorough, found issues other shop didnt during inspection. Priced service very fairly. Went above and beyond. Will definitely use them again.

They guys are awesome. Had issues with my truck derating power and they got me right in and fixed it up.

Good job done and fair prices!

Excellent Mechanics, they also sell fine used vehicles, Ive brought several vehicles there and received excellent service!!!

Fantastic quick service. Helped our driver get back on the road super quick.

OMG what a fantastic man and business. My story, girls weekend. Did I say were from Minneapolis. Well anyways my truck started leaking anti freeze. Didnt know what I was going to do. Got a recommendation from Wendy Barnett who works the front desk at the Best Western. Even though Terry said he was booked until next week, he said He could take a look.. So generous and kind. He and his wonderful assistant whose name I didnt get took care of me and my truck. Reasonably priced also. Would recommend this business to anyone. Again wonderful man and business

Experienced mechanics, did the job right the first time, didnt break the bank. My new go to place.. thanks Alex..

Excellent service at an affordable price! Thank you for getting me in so quickly.

The Only shop I trust; great work, honest and fast. Always respectful of my trucks and to me. These guys have gone out of their way to help me more than once. Always satisfied; dependable work at a fair price..

Hometown service at its finest. I was in town for Thanksgiving Holiday and had a sticky rear caliper. Called in on a Friday morning and I was able to get in the same day. Great service right there. I feel so much better driving home knowing my car was at 100%. Hats off to the whole TEAM at Swanstrom Auto Repair. My bill was less than quoted so an even better end to my amazing experience.Thank you Swanstrom Auto Repair for getting me back on the road safely. I am very THANKFUL this holiday season for great people making great things happen.

Swanstrom worked on an old diesel plow truck I picked up this summer. Had it towed in, and drove it away running great. Labor and parts price was in the ballpark. Told them it wasnt a rush, but they got to the job quickly anyway, and made sure everything was good to go before I picked it up. Will be bringing some of our other vehicles here in the future.

Just had an emergency repair needed this week. Called Swanstroms and explained and they got it right in next morning and got it on the road. Great work at reasonable price! Will recommend!

I look for two things in an auto repair shop: fair pricing and reliability. Their mechanics are very honest about repairs with fair upfront pricing. They also stand behind their work 100%.

Great hometown service! I actually bring my vehicle from a town 30 miles away to have it serviced at Swanstrom. Honest and reliable mechanics! Takes the time to explain the work being done and very fair pricing.

Fair priced and quick service! Great knowledge and invaluable auto experience to fix problems right the first time! They dont tack on a bunch of extra parts that you really dont need in order to fix your vehicle. Id highly recommend them!

This is one of the best auto shops that I ever went to very reliable great quality work and fast. All for a cheaper price than any other shop.

I mostly do my own work, but when its too tough for me I take it to Swanstroms. I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else. Fair and talented and no surprises.

Swanstrom auto is hands down the BEST place to bring your vehicle. Good prices, great service, and friendly mechanics that really know their trade. I highly recommend them.

These guys are a great hometown shop ! Highly recommend them. 👍👍

My family has always had a great experience with Swanstrom Auto, special thanks to Dan for fixing my newest car. Highly recommend getting your vehicle fixed with Swanstrom Auto.

Great prices. Quality service and work

Hometown service by a family owned business! We moved to Alexandria 18 months ago. I knew Dan through a mutual friend so thats where I took my vehicle when it was having issues. I suspected that it was the intake manifold. I scheduled a time to get it in which was just a day or two later. My wife was home with two little ones in the middle of winter, so Dan came and picked up her Expedition at our house took it to his shop and had it repaired the next day. He actually called me and told me he could just replace the gasket, but it would probably make more sense to replace the manifold too and explained why; rather than just going ahead and surprising me with the bill. I appreciated that very much! I wont take my vehicles anywhere else. I also own a Subaru and I know that they are very versed in them so I have no issues taking that their either.

Car broke down before leaving town for Thanksgiving. Called Swanstrom Auto and they were able to stay late to fix it so I could be on the road right in the morning. When I got the bill, Im just going to say I will be bringing all my vehicles in there! Very much appreciated!

More than once these guys have saved my butt. Im a snowplow operator. I NEED to get to work on time no matter what. Theres no calling in and telling the boss I cant make it. These guys go above and beyond to get my Jeep in, or give me a loaner to use when they cant. Two days ago, I was having a pet emergency when my alternator went bad. Even though they were booked solid, Dan squeezed it in and an hour later, I was back on the road. There arent many mechanics who go above and beyond like that!

Helpful people +

Excellent...replaced my engine.

Fast and professional. Finished my car in like 20 minutes.

Really great guy he installed my blower motor resistor in 10 mins works perfectly now. Very kind and courteous.they have a brand new customer now I suggest everyone come here if u want great service. From sean

Was leaving for a long trip and needed to get my car fixed asap! I didnt have a appointment but they stayed late and got my car all fixed and tuned! Just got back from my trip and am very happy for their service!

Cheaper than most shops and they do good work.

Swanstrom is the best in town. They are honest and do a great job. My brother comes back from Minneapolis anytime he needs work done because he knows he can trust the business.

I recommend to all my family and friends! This auto shop is top notch! Service and pricing is excellent, Dan and Terry are great people!!!

This is a great repair shop! I had a problem on the interstate and limped my car there and they got me in right away! Very friendly! And very reasonably priced

Great service and fair price. They were able to fix an issue for me and didnt work like other places Ive been to that charged me for extra things or try to convince me that I needed to do more work than necessary. Sent a friend in with an issue and they fixed it the same day. Wont go anywhere else!

I have been taking my cars to Swanstroms for over 20 years. They are the best. When my son moved to the Twin Cities he soon discovered that he was smarter to drive 120 miles back to Alexandria and get his car fixed right and at a chipper price. I would recommend them to anyone that wants the job done right the first time.

🌹excellant atmosphere ~ very down to earth owner ~ who is very knowledgable ~ kept me informed of what he was doing ~ answered my questions ~ and even laughed at one of my goofy jokes🌹Highly recommend Dan at Swanstrom Auto in Alexandria Minnesota🌹

Very great service, and fare prices! I love how there a family owned business and I can keep my money in the community!

Great service

Great customer service and fair pricing. Dan always does a great job with my truck!

If your new to town and want a fast, friendly, knowledgable mechanic this is the place!. The other reviews say it as well, glad I took the chance will be going back to this shop for all my auto needs, great service, great price and was able to get in quick, they answered all of my questions.

Did what was needed to be done and found other items before they became major issues, thankful!

Ive been bringing my cars to Terry and Dan for 20 years, always reliable and honest mechanics and fair prices. Highly recommended!

Great services!

Had a starter replaced in my Mazda I am very happy

The staff at Swanstroms always works with me on payments for the work I have done. When ever people ask about auto repair I send them to Swanstroms.

Below average( according to google) pricing, will fix needed issues but will not upsell you for bogus fixes, dedicated, kind.Dan especially will get to the heart of any problem even if it means all day and being honest in his trial and error and will seek to learn anything unknown.

Great service, every time. Fast, super affordable, always precise with repairs and prices.

Fast service and very reasonable prices would go there again hands down

Great service, honest pricing. Dan and Terry have helped us with many of our vehicles.

Good service at a fair price

Great service, fast, friendly and fair

Great work great people

They didnt even do the work that they were paid to do and when my car broke down the very next day Dan became argumentative instead of having any concern for my safety . I called him to let him know that I had the parts in my hand that were supposed to have been replaced but never were and Dan never did call me back or make it right w me and I was out nearly $1000 . Ill never return to Swanstrom Auto 👎.
