This is my favorite shop.They have two diesel mechanics in house, and this is the best truck shop I know of. If you don’t live close it is worth the drive.I originally used them when I was in the process of buying a used diesel truck that needed some repairs. They looked at a quote I got from another shop, and said “hey those parts they were going to use would not be the best quality,” they then helped to walk me through the right parts for the job, and TGK ended up being several thousand cheaper than the other shop.They do fantastic work, with good parts, at very reasonable rates.Additionally they are the most detailed shop I have been to, even more detailed than dealerships; they take pictures of everything. Every Time anything is done they do a full inspection and walk through any problem areas they notice, and if those are immediate issues or things to take care of next time, or next year.For what it is worth they are also great at working on cars, and this is where I bring my wife’s Civic.Bottomline: This is the place to bring your vehicle, especially your truck. They are professional, detailed, friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and their mechanics are amazing.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at TGK Auto in Ham Lake. Dan helped me out from Start to finish and was incredibly helpful, professional, and knowledgeable the whole time. I was able to get some aftermarket rims, go a few sizes bigger on my tires and level my truck out with a lift in the front. I feel like I have a new truck and it was something I have wanted to do for a long time. Truck looks great and I’ll definitely only be using these guys moving forward!

Dan & the guys really turned things around for us & we really super appreciate it! Well be customers as long as we have trucks & in this area. I will elaborate more on the specifics of how well a questionable 1st experience was rectified after we take our trip. They stand behind their business & do care about their customers- we just had to let them know. They really do care about their business & customers-thanks Dan!Update/elaboration: a few days after our trip up north & our overheating issue we had the radiator repair our truck is still running much better. Well still have to get another flush recommended by Dan to get all the gunk out. He took the time to work with us the following business day/Mon. when the flush didnt do the trick the previous Friday when through a review I just voiced what was going on & my disappointment. Everything has been rectified & Dan even wanted to know how our truck was doing after our trip!

Definitely recommend! I dealt mainly with Greg who was extremely helpful. Awesome work and professional Staff! They installed my 30” light bar, and fog light setup with a new fab four bumper. Helped through the whole process and was able to secure all the parts in short time. Great staff too!

Clean, comfortable chairs in the waiting room. Lots of space in waiting area so you don’t feel like you are sitting too close to other customers. My first time here, but I will DEFINITELY be back!

Best car service hands down, best customer care, definitely best pricing, THE BEST PERIOD.

Great experience! Staff professional and friendly. Went first for oil change. They provide a really detailed report on what their inspection found along with photos! Found this really helpful. Up front pricing on cost of repairs. Few weeks later my AC wasn’t blowing cold air. Got me in quickly and found out I just needed to recharge. Had them install cabin air filter while at it. Prices very reasonable and I really appreciate that they aren’t pushy about making repairs. They just provide you with detailed info so you can make an informed decision. Will continue to use their services!!

Finally! Greg and his crew from the phones to his technicians Are awesome and very knowledgeable everybody answered all my questions and done research to give me more options. above dealership quality without the politics. Goodbye Chevy dealer! Love my lift kit and coming back for my electrical strobe installation ASAP Quality workmanship that will last. Thank you Greg and crew. Gouge!!!!!✌🏽

I had my 2019 GMC Sierra truck lifted with TGK and couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. The costumer attention is great and the work is absolutely professional.I would recommend TGK to anyone wanting some awesome/professional work done on their trucks. 10/10

They did a good job and we’re quick getting it done

They are always good about how they explain things and if possible showing me what needs to be done and why. They are good about giving me estimates for things coming up to do as well.

The front wheel bearings were replaced on our Ford Connect van. It was very easy to drop off and pick up after hours. And to pay online. Everyone there seems friendly, helpful and knowledgeable!

Everyone at tgk was top notch from the phone calls to the front desk to getting the repairs done on time and at the work quoted professionals all the way thanks again for all your great work

They looked over and maintained all fluids and brakes. Fixed my window switch and made my truck even better than it was! Thank you Liz

TGK is outstanding. Great service, personable, and reasonable price. Very thorough. Should have used them sooner.

Service was excellent! Everyone was friendly and professional. The final price was exactly what was quoted and it was completed on time. I definitely found a place I can trust, and I will be going back again.

Great quality work, we use TGK Ham Lake for our fleet account and they always send an email diagnosis before performing any work. Would highly recommend for any business or personal repairs. Call Greg or Kristine and they will take care of you.

I brought my Pathfinder to TGK in Ham Lake for some suspension work. They did an outstanding job for a fair price, and only did what was needed. Since then, I’ve been using them for routine maintenance and repairs. Great work, nice people, and fair prices. Thanks for doing things right!

Huge THANK YOU to team TGK! Our transmission went out pulling our camper trailer on a weekend trip to lake Mille Lacs. We figured wed have to tell the kids wed have to cancel the trip and try to find a way back home. However, Greg and the team worked to get us a loaner truck and installed a new ball on the hitch that was compatible with the trailer. We were back on the road in no time and enjoyed the weekend at the lake. The team at TGK went above and beyond to get us back on the road and enjoying our vacation. If I lived anywhere near the Ham Lake TGK, Id be a customer for life. Cant say thank you enough to the entire team at TGK!

I left message last week. The call was not returned. I Did eventually find out what I needed to know without the call back. ThankfullyWe got an oil change there a month or so ago and they did a good job.

Greg was awesome! His commitment to customer service was outstanding. He really cared and did a great job. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Just another shop. I drove quite a ways out of my way to try and visit what I thought was a specialty shop to take care of an alignment on my 2500HD with a simple 2 level kit. After two visits the truck still pulls to one side. They tried to tell me it was the tires but when we rotated them the same problem persisted. Then the tech had to have me ride along with him to prove that indeed it did pull as apparently it didnt when he drove it.....It was never about money or me not wanting to pay for further service to fix it. They just didnt seem to have the knowledge or capability over any other tire shop to get the job done.

Always take my cars to TGK. Great service at reasonable prices. Inform you of services that are recommended but never push.

TGK is great! I love the service they provide and I always feel like they are advising me on my best interests. I never walk out feeling taken advantage of. Quality work too.

Wonderful staff, reasonable time to repair, polite, I highly recommend!

TGK was amazing to work with. They were knowledgeable, thorough, and very up front with everything. As someone who knows little about vehicles I never once felt slighted on anything. Such a great place with excellent customer service and automotive repair! Highly recommend!

I brought my vehicle in for a typical oil change and was impressed by the thorough assessment done by the technician in addition to my oil change. This included accompanying photos along with clear and simple explanations to support the assessment. The assessment included from the condition of the headlights to fluid levels, belts to wear on tire treads, pads, rotors, struts, etc.All in all about 80 things they looked over...this just for an oil change! I dont think dealerships provide this extensive of a condition report. Will definitely be bringing my business here and telling my friends. Thanks TGK Automotive of Ham Lake!

I had a great experience with the people ! I will enjoy continue doing business with them !

Service was good. Fairly priced and professional. I have a lifted truck that was having suspension issues. After being told at another shop that they couldnt do anything, I brought my truck to TGK. They did a great job and have me back on the road

Awesome service and very timely with the fix! I couldnt be happier with this place. Special shout out to Greg for being extremely helpful! Id go back to this shop!

I would recommend this place for sure. Very good service. I went in without an appointment but not sure this would be good idea. It worked great for me but I’d call them first next time. They were personable, and showed me exactly what they were doing. Great business and super clean.

I brought my 2018 GM Truck to get leveled and aligned and TGK was awesome to work with. I spoke with several folks on the phone and in person all of whom were very professional and happily answered all my questions. I did not feel like I was just at another corporate dealer or chain store who did not care about me. Wile I could have saved a few bucks going to a less reputable shop, I was more than happy with my choice to have TGK service my truck and even drove an hour to do so. I highly recommend TGK Ham Lake for your 4x4 needs as well as their Crystal location for general service!

TGK was able to identify and repair an issue I had been battling with for nearly 2 years within a 2 day period. The inspection process is extremely impressive including photos and notes of everything they check and give honest opinions as to what needs attention now or later. I’d recommend them to anyone!

This was my first time visiting TGK and I would go back here in a heart beat. They were very professional with everything from the estimate, to scheduling, to fixing everything! I needed new brakes and rotors. They did a full inspection (took pictures, put it on their portal, etc) of my vehicle before replacing them. While they were replacing the brakes they discovered my calipers were bad. They communicated everything which was nice because it was going to be an expensive job, and they didnt just do it without talking to me first. I am so impressed with them and will definitely come back if my car has any other issues!

After many years of different mechanics went to TGK out of convenience and I couldn’t be happier they moved to Ham Lake. Great service - nice waiting area- and excellent value. Now I bring my all my vehicles there for service.

Absolutely amazing service! My Lifted Avalanche now rides like a monster and is more smooth then when I first bought the vehicle. I definitely recommend them for work. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Dropped my truck off due to it having a lot of play in the steering wheel, tgk addressed it in a timely fashion and repaired it as well! Truck drives perfect now. Highly recommend them for service

They did some custom work on my shuttle bus, installed a hitch mount to be able to bring our bikes and other cargo. Work was very good quality and done quickly. Prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!

Great customer service. They know what there talking about. I had my vehicle dropped off for 4 x 4 service, exhaust repair and oil adaptor leak. No more leak. Great job on exhaust. They went through the 4x4 system and checked everything and was able to repair the small problem, its working great. Im very satisfied with what I paid for the work and the quality of work and customer service I would and will recommend this company.

TGK was able to work directly with my 3rd party warranty company to have them cover a repair that was needed. I have used TGK many times in the past, they are fair, reasonable and always take time to explain things and answer any questions. Thanks TGK.

TKG automotive in ham lake did a great job on my 2015 GMC 2500 Serria! I went with a 4.5 to 6.5 BDS suspension lift. I love the look that this lift brought to my truck it looks and drives great! The only thing is, is that it my sit a little higher then I wanted it but I talked with Dan about my concern and he told me to let it settle and if we need to adjust the lift that when I come back for 500/1000 mile check up that they would get it right for me! After spending that kinda money on a lift I want it to be actually what I was looking for and Dan and the guys at TGK said that they’d take care of me! I would highly recommend and will be going back for other things that I may need later down the road for my pickup!

Great service and quality of work. Will definitely be returning for any other servicing!

Technician troubleshoot the issues, gave report and cost estimate right away. Job was done right and according to report. Very helpful staff! Earned trust and will return.

Great place for vehicle service and repairs. Great pricing, easy access, friendly and attentive personnel. Quick vehicle turn-around.

Good honest shop. I took my in need of help lifted truck here and these guys got it working right... I had previously been to 4 places and everyone charged me for something but no one got it straight until we came here.Highly skilled specialists.Very fair pricing.Thanks for fixing my truck!

I had Greg from TGK help me pick out which tires would best suit my needs and also what rims would look great on my truck. Greg was right on the money! I absolutely love my new tires and rims. And the tech who worked on my truck was extremely knowledgeable and professional. TGK even sends you an email with a full report on your vehicle complete with pictures, who else does that? I would recommend them to everyone. Thanks TGK!

Prices are average.Freindly staff.Straight forward on what needs to be fixed and what could use attention when you can afford it. You get the sense that they care about you and the work you are relying on the to do.Professional repor.Would recommend this business to anyone that inquires about a good automotive shop.

Walked in about an hour before close with an out of the ordinary request, expecting to have to come back in a couple days, if they were even able to help. They jumped all over it, told me to just wait, theyd take care of it right away! Less than 30 minutes later, they put the part Id ask them to modify in the back of my truck, we settled up, and I was on my way. Ive stopped in before to ask questions, but hadnt been a previous customer (theyd sent me to places better able to take care of what I was looking for). Always friendly and accommodating!

After owning my Jeep Wrangler for 13 years I decided to have my first set of modifications done on it. I went to a couple places and decided on TGK because of their ability to listen and understand exactly what I was looking for. Co-owner Greg spent a lot of time with me reviewing options and prices and in the end lead the project and delivered to me a Jeep that looked and feels brand new. Thank you TGK for hearing me and providing me with an experience and end product that has allowed me to fall in love with my old girl all over again!

Very helpful and knowledgeable employees

Every time I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with TGK, I’ve been completely satisfied. The friendly neighborhood feel and helpful professionalism of their staff will keep me coming back time after time. My latest visit was for a simple equalizer hitch adjustment. I purchased a new vehicle the day before leaving town for a camping trip and my hitch was set up for a considerably shorter vehicle. TGK Automotive went out of their way to fit me in and get my hitch adjusted before I left town. The drive went well and the hitch performed perfectly. Thank you TGK!!

Very timely, professional, and everything seems great so far!

This place is amazing. I went in to get my brakes done. Not only did they have a fair price, they didnt try to upsell me on anything!They had a very reasonable time frame for my appointment as well as my work. They had a welcoming and clean lobby and amazing bathroom. Not what i expected from an auto shop. I was able to work in the lobby while my car work was being completed. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend TGK to anyone needing work.

Greg is very professional and easy to get along with. I brought my truck in for a repair, Greg and his team communicated a couple other issues that needed attention. He reviewed the items over the phone with me and was prepared to explain the pricing as well. He never pushed me to make the repairs.. I decided to have the these items taken care of, even though I was in a time crunch. They exceeded all of my expectations and even got the repairs completed sooner than expected. I highly recommend.

Greg was able to get me in on short notice for some work on my 2015 subaru cross trek. I called him on a Thursday evening and was able to get me in early Friday morning . Great guy to deal with, very accommodating, nice place, free beverages while you wait, and top notch service. No need to go elsewhere. They have my business from here on out, and they should be a place you patronize as well.

I was told at the Eden Prairie TGK I would need two new tires a camber kit, alignment and time and labor costs may vary depending on how rusted my, quote, Minnesota truck could be. I do most of the work on my truck myself short of my actual engine, I brought the truck in because a vibration in the front i was confused about due to a growing vibration caused by scalloped tires that wer being scalloped slowly by my alighnment.i drive about 100-300 miles day and am way over my rotation miles. My truck has allways been rock solid drive untell recently, called the Ham Lake location they had stated to me that doesnt sound correct bring it in, I brought it in they checked it out ran full diagnostic through my truck told me my alignment was well within standards and showed me! Rotated my tires and said you may notice a slight vibration in the back until they wear flat but once it goes away rotate them with every oil change and youll be fine. Needless to say probably saved me $1,000 and felt very honest. I would recommend Ham Lake TGK to anybody it is my new shop and I live a little over an hour away from it and live next door to a shop. That should say plenty enough right there. I appreciate your work ham Lake TGK! Truck is driving grate.

Guys we’re really nice! Very friendly and honest I would recommend this place over carhop since they have some professional technicians on the spot at all times!

Had them do straight pipes on my truck, was picky on how I wanted it done, Greg out standing job!, worked with me to know what I wanted done it was done my way and looks amazing! Couldn’t asked for better

I wanted to purchase parts to install myself on my truck. In about one minute I was given a quote and it was competitive with anything online. They told me it would take a day to get the parts(AMP Extreme Power Boards) and that is all it took. I was given an approximate arrive time and told I would get a call as soon as they arrived. I believe I did. Absolutely no attitude or making me feel as though they were going out of their way for me. Just prompt courteous service from Jeff and the entire staff. They even loaded the parts into my truck and it was a busy Friday afternoon minutes within closing time!The shop looked busy and clean. Nice waiting area and showroom too. Hooze 4x4 is 30 miles from my home but it was definitely worth the drive to do business with good people. I will return. Thanks Jeff!

TGK Ham Lake Installed a plow on my 14 Ram 2500 - Im extremely particular about my vehicle. They did a nice, clean, quality install. Id highly recommend them. Thanks Greg, and team!

I spent a lot of time and money having another shop install 4.88 gears that introduced vibration and noise into my jeep. After several return visits to the first shop they through in the towel and blamed it on my tires. I stopped at Hooze and asked them to evaluate. Jeff was extremely professional in working methodically through possible causes, and finally determined defective parts were installed. Hooze replaced them, and the jeep drives like new, I could not be happier. The next time I have any powertrain or accessory needs I am going strait to Hooze, anywhere else is a waste of time and money. .

Absolutely trustworthy, friwndly enviroment you guys have never let me down and i could not go anywhere else!!! Thank you guys your awesome !

I brought my car in to have it inspected before purchasing it from a private seller. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile from everyone at the front desk. Check- in was a breeze and I felt very comfortable handing my car over to the mechanic. I was very impressed with the waiting area, it was equipped with snacks, beverages, free WiFi, and a TV. I was able to get some work done while I waited for the inspection to be completed and before I knew it they were calling my name. The mechanic gave me a detailed run down on the inspection and explained it simply to me (I don’t know a thing about cars). I was very happy with the service I received and am looking forward to doing business with them in the future. 10/10 for customer service and 10/10 for overall experience. I would 100% recommend TGK to anyone I know. Huge shoutout to Greg and Nick for their awesome service. Thank you!

Strange noise coming from the front wheel area. Difficult to find but dogged the problem until found (bad cv). Very professional and friendly staff. Good job.

I have been using these guys for years theyre always Fair and not pushy and dont add on a bunch of other things that you know you dont need theyre great

Accommodated me really well and did great work.

Great prices. Knowledgeable staff. Very clean waiting area!

I trust to bring my car to TGK because they are always willing to help me as a person to person not just fixing the car as a business.Their outreaching services are incredible!If you have a trouble with your car, TGK Ham Lake is the place to go!!

Knowledgeable, friendly and honest.

I dont know where to start. Probably one of the best shops Ive ever dealt with!! ( and I was a former mechanic myself). Needed some Torsion Bar Keys installed in an OBS Tahoe. As a MN truck needless to say they were probably frozen in place with rust. Originally went to Kremer in Inver Grove Heights where the service writer was telling me I might need new Torsion Bars, Lower Control Arms, Upper Control arms - basically he didnt want to work on it. Guys at TGK also let me know I could have some issues but said they would give it a whirl and what do you know - they got it done no problem! Price was super reasonable too, and super friendly and professional service. Honestly I was very impressed with these guys. I do most of the work on my cars myself, but if I encounter anything I cant handle at home I will be bringing it here, and if any family or friends need work done Ill be strongly recommending TGK. Great work guys!

Dan was very patient with an 70 year man who is not smarter than a fifth grader. Oh, that sounds me!. Thankyou Dan for a great job and your 100% honestly. Ill be back. Ken

TGK quickly got me in and out the door same day with great service and cost. AC, struts and fluids completed and I am confident my truck will running for years to come!

They are always friendly and willing to help. They answer all my questions so I understand the issues. Highly recommend!

Great place! I highly recommend especially with Greg the new owner! He took extra good care of my vehicle and is extremely nice and efficient:)

Great service and very knowledgeable about 4x4 suspension. I had a Metalcloak lift installed on Jeep JL and purchased/installed tires. Mainly worked with Dan who was extremely helpful and very accomodating to setup appoints. Had issue with one of the coils in the lift. Dan took it upon himself to resolve the issue with Metalcloak resulting in Metalcloak sending replacement coil. Once coil arrived, they were able to get me in very quickly to replace coil. Great service, good price on install, and good price on tires. Everyone I dealt with was very helpful and genuinely cared (unlike many auto places were it almost seems like you are burdening them). Highly recommend.

Tgk is amazing! I drive an hour for my truck to be worked on. They are the only ones I can trust! Great customer service as well!

They helped me really good with my purchase and Replacements of my parts Christine was very helpful thanks again

If you have a truck like me this is were you go to get work done. They explain what the problem is and ask before doing a large job on your truck. Very nice people. Good atmosphere. Job done well. Thank you so much Hooze.

Was by far the best service I’ve ever had pleasant experience totally highly recommend them to any one

A top class auto shop. They offer friendly and comprehensive service. Theyve gone above and beyond to keep my car running well. I recommend them unreservedly!

Had some oil leak troubles with my ‘09 Silverado. The team at TGK was able to diagnose the problem and get me back on the road with stellar service at a competitive price.

I had my truck in 2 different shops trying to fix an issue on a 2001 7.3 powerstroke. Its an old truck and many did not want to touch it. After dumping close to 3K at shops replacing injectors, sensors, harnesses, and glow plugs, I brought it to Hooze. They had it diagnosed and fixed within a couple hours.These guys are top notch. Definitely have earned my future business .Thanks guys for a high quality job. Well done.

Top notch! These guys (Kristine and Dawn too) are awesome. Honest, trustworthy, upfront, no up selling, if it doesnt need fixing theyll let you know and they do great work. Theyve done oil changes for me, new rims and tires, sway bar, brakes, full top end work, general service work, and Ive never once had a problem except for a parts issue that cropped up a year later and they did the warranty work without question. Class act; I highly recommend them.

Worked with Dan he was GREATOnly fixed what need and I didnt feel like I was robbedHe will definitely be my new mechanicThank you Dan

Been here a few times for some random things. Always been a great experience! Helpful, fast and professional.

Every encounter with a team member from this crew has been great! The guys are very professional. Great prices too. We will continue to bring our vehicles here for service

Very friendly staff, good prices. They were willing to try to fix my problem before just seeing replace it.

I installed a 3.5” lift on my 2017 4runner and they were able to get my alignment done quick. I’m traveling through on my way back from California, I scheduled an appointment 2 days in advance as I planned my route. They did great work and also they have a decent area to relax if you’re waiting onsite; drinks, magazines, toys for kids. Would recommend and come again if/when necessary.

Good people great service.

A top class auto shop. They offer friendly and comprehensive service. Theyve gone above and beyond to keep my car running well. I recommend them unreservedly!

Top-notch service from start to finish. The entire team at Hooze is helpful and knowledgeable. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

Very friendly staff and tookon a big project replacing both front axels of my truck and had it done by 3pm the day i brought it in. Highly recommend TGK!

Awesome service, very knowledgeable, nice to have a place to take our diesel trucks to. There was a scheduling conflict, thet were able to work everything out and come through for me. Awesome place!

These are nice guys to work with.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!! Without a doubt the place to go!! When researching and asking around about where to take my Jeep Wrangler with transmission/differential problems... Just about everyone [literally] everyone brought up Hooze 4x4! The service is impeccable! Quality service and completely affordable!! There is a reason they have the reputation they do...!!

Very well done the work on my ford F 250 death wobble fixed in a very timely manner

Awesome layout amd great customer service.

Really professional guys! I just got my car repaired by them and it’s running perfect! This is my go to shop from now on! Five stars!

I brought my truck in to fix some welds put on by a different shop on my exhaust. After a short discussion Greg identified other problem areas associated with the exhaust problem. The shop was able to fix the first welding problem and square up the rest of my exhaust so it’s now not hanging on by duct tape. Thanks Greg! 2015 Ram 1500

Great folks for excellent repairs at a fair price.
