Very, very helpful. I was traveling for business in an Audi and had a coolant leak. Called Automotive Enginuity because they were the closest place to where I broke down. Dan the owner, suggested a tow company and they showed up in less than 10 mins to tow me in. Once the car was diagnosed, we decided I leave the car for a couple of days to perform the fix. Dan then drove me to the airport to catch my flight home. Flew back up to Minneapolis on a Sunday to pick up the car to drive back home to Chicago. Once the car was under coolant pressure, there was a pinhole leak from a hose and still was losing coolant. Drove back to the shop and Dan came out, on a Sunday, to fix the hose. Problem solved. But, because Dan didn’t want me to get stranded if anything happen on my 6 hour drive back, he gave me a gallon of coolant, some hose clamps, a wrench to tighten the clamps if necessary, and some rags. Holy cow, what service!!!!!If I was from this area, I’d get every vehicle I own serviced from Automotive Enginuity!!! True professionals and great service! Thank you very much Dan and the team at Automotive Enginuity.

Have taken two of my vehicles to Automotive Enginuity, and each time Ive gotten in quickly and received excellent service, at rates that are more than reasonable! This time, Dan discovered the problem quickly and had it repaired in no time. The customer service Dan and Paige provide is outstanding. Dont care if I have to drive across the metro. Ill take my vehicles there from now on!

Fantastic! Been going here for many months and theyve always been straightforward, efficient, and trustworthy. They dont push unnecessary repairs or try and up-sell you. This is the first mechanic/repair shop I trust. No complaints

Dan is by far one of the most friendly mechanics you’ll meet and always has helped keep our cars in top shape with our best interest in mind. From my first car (a Saab 9-5) to now, he has always been our go to for issues and maintenance. He has extremely fair prices and his diagnostics skills are unmatched. He embraces new technology and understands the root causes of issues so they don’t come back.Thanks, Dan!

Great service! I’ve been taking my cars here for repairs for several years. Quality repairs for a fraction of the cost at dealership service departments.

They said that my Audi engine needed to be replaced. It did not! Another shop had it fixed in 2 days for $1900 and its been running perfect for over 6 months. They definitely do not know what they are doing when it comes to European cars.

Automotive Enginuity and Dan are a God-send! I absolutely recommend these services to anyone.The story: One bleak Saturday, I was driving along the highway, when all of a sudden white smoke started billowing out of the hood. Frantically, I took the first exit I could find. Fortunately someone at the gas station knew about Automotive Enginuity--I would have been completely toast without them.Dan doesnt work with cars as a simple day job--he has a passion for cars, and it really shows in his work. He knew my car inside out, and had every widget and gadget ready in his shop. He takes special care to make sure that his work is good for the environment: collecting oil in a special drain so it doesnt go to run-off, recycling tires, and using special washes that wont trash the planet.It was a miracle that this was the *first* place I could drag my car--this is literally the best car service I have ever received and I would drive out of my way to get there. After hours of service, I was expecting a huge bill, but Dan hardly charged me anything!Its the kind of amazing place that only happens when individual entrepreneurs take business into their own hands instead of working for the big corporations. Thanks, Dan, for being there in my hour of need!

First and foremost Dan is a great guy who will do everything to find your problems before they become a major problem. He will fix your problem in a timely fashion and will give you a loaner car, so youre not stuck without a car to get to places. He serviced my car with excellence and Im very happy hes the one who has done it.I had a issue where my car wouldnt drive pass 45+ mph and I thought it was a transmission problem. I gave it to Dan, he did so many different tests to pinpoint the cause. He could of just told me to replaced my transmission, because the car is at 196k and would make sense that the transmission was the issue, but he figured out it wasnt my transmission. He continued to test what else could cause this problem. Dan had to do a test that Acura/Honda cars would never have problems with, because they are so reliable, but I guess my car was the one in a million with this issue. The problem was my fuel pump was failing after reaching 45+mph. Dan called me and told me the problem and he fixed it. The car drives perfect now. Im very happy I met him and his fine establishment. I would recommend him to all who want a trustworthy person to fix your problems.

Dan, Paige, and staff are honestly the best, they do quality work at a great price. They know a lot about every type of car, they are one stop shop for old school and modern cars. They are the only shop I trust for doing more complicated work on cars.

Dan is one of the most knowledgeable mechanics I have ever met. The first time I had him do some work on my vehicle, he told me to come back into the shop so he could show me what he had to do and what the old parts looked like. SOLD! He is the first mechanic I would trust with any make and model car I will ever get. Dan has done every major repair to my 04 Silverado. The front differential, 4x4, transfer case, rear differential, oil changes, tires, brakes. He does it all. And his integrity and honesty are very much a breath of fresh air in the automotive repair world. If you have brought it to a mechanic and they cant figure it out, you NEED to bring it down to Automotive Enginuity. Thanks Dan and Paige. You guys rock! Keep it up.

Shortened Review: Praise Dan!Extended Review: This review is long overdue. Hands down the best mechanic Ive ever been to. I brought my Lexus SC400 in there for the timing belt and a misfire when nobody else could figure out the misfire. 3 shops, even the Lexus dealership I brought it to refused to acknowledge the fact that I even had a misfire, coming and going 3 times each time being told Runs fine for us! and sent on my way.So by suggestion of one of my coworkers, I brought it to Dan, hopeless, down-and-out, ready for him to also be unable to help my scenario. Im going to do some blatant foreshadowing by telling you all that my car is sitting outside right now and runs flawlessly. It was a long, time-consuming process that once completed and I picked up my car I nearly cried of joy. My car was an absolute nightmare, and honestly I am shocked that he stuck to it to the very end. There was no getting this car to behave, it just refused. It became a personal vendetta of his; he went in on his days off, didnt charge me labor for it, was a start-to-finish sport about the whole thing. Hes the only person that Ive come across that could figure out the problem, and Im more thankful than you could imagine.The customer service is great, the employees are great, and the prices are great for such an artisan mechanic, but that isnt what really drove me to write this review. Dan is a man who loves what he does, and it shows in his work. My car was fighting him and not cooperating but he wasnt having any of that, he was determined to know what was causing it, it almost seemed like he wouldnt let it leave the shop until he knew what was causing it, he NEEDED to know, because it was his job, and he loves what he does. He put in more work and charged me less than any other shop I have ever been to, and I would recommend them to anyone, everyone, and I will.
