Very professional experience the shuttle was very helpful. The work was done quickly and professional. Will be back and I will refer Dakota Ridge Auto!
New car purchase, decided to try a new shop since my last shop has declined in service. First impression great communication & willingness to listen to the customer. I have been service writing for 2 decades & will say if you want great customer service & care for the customer along with their safety in the vehicle please consider the extra cost for Dakota Ridge Auto. Well worth it!
I had taken my car into a regional chain for some work and it left worse than when I brought it in. I called Dakota Ridge Auto and they were able to get me in quickly. They were open and honest about the issues and walked me through the recommended work. My car is driving better now than it has in the past year. Plus theyre a local company so my money is staying in my community.
My vehicle was in to have its front struts replaced. They were brand new and in sealed boxes shipped directly from the manufacturer. A few thousand miles later I noticed rattling from the vehicle but did not think it was coming from the front struts so I took it over to another shop to have it diagnosed. No defects were found other than the fact that they were not properly installed and the bolts came loose. As soon as my car was picked up I had called Dakota Ridge to let them know of the issue and they wanted me to bring the vehicle in right away. Instead of offering a resolution they just dismissed the concern and said that the struts were defective. As a result of my credit card dispute I was contacted by phone at (7:20AM). I responded to the confrontational voice mail by writing a very neutral and polite Email with the reason for the dispute. If this shop would have done the right thing instead of stating that I was wrong, failed to communicate and that my claim was false this review would not be here. Because of my rational attempts to resolve this matter I was then unwelcomed from their shop.
My first visit (Oil change and check list). People, service and price were all excellent. I give Five Stars on everything.
The service provided by Dakota Ridge Auto is superior and second to none! I needed new wiper blades, the price was unbeatable, and they were installed within a few minutes in the parking lot. Thank you and I will see you again. In the meantime, I am telling everyone about how great yall are.
From the initial phone consultation, repairs and pick-up, I offer high praise for all facets of service Dakota Ridge Auto provided. I felt at ease one the diagnosis was completed and explained to me in a meticulous report. This reinforced a level of trust I sensed from my initial discussion. Due to the nature of my repair, I needed a replacement vehicle, again the assistance Dakota Ridge offered was extremely convenient and I did not feel the lack of being able to get around. I was briefed on the repair along the way and pick up was on time. An overall highly satisfied experience! Thank you Tim, and the team!
Dakota Ridge was able to get my vehicle in and worked on. Top notch work. very professional and awesome customer service. I would highly recommend.
Our neighbors recommended these guys since we bought a new to us pop up trailer. We needed new tires and to check the bearings, these guys were quick to call back and talk about prices and options and were done within the day! Tim and his team were professional and helpful, even though we live over 20 minutes from them, wed use them again!
They did a great job for me. I usually do my own work but had some time constraints today. They got me in quickly. Did a thorough diagnostic and clearly explained what they would do. The price was reasonable and had me back on the road by the afternoon. Very professional and courteous. I will use them again.
Dakota Ridge Auto has become our go to place for any auto maintenance and repair. We tell everyone and anyone that is looking for a trustworthy, dependable, conscientious and reasonably priced technician that Dakota Ridge is the place we trust! They communicate clearly and always give the choice to decide how much to do. We greatly appreciate the photos of issues and clear explanation. We never feel as if we are being sold to and their turn around time is awesome! I rarely leave reviews and jumped at the chance to leave this one.
I have used Dakota Ridge for years and always pleased with their professional knowledge and care for my car.They have found needed repairs while doing an oil change, keeping me safe from unexpected break downs on the road.Honest caring professional staff providing you with expert car maintenance not afraid and patient to tackle and solve unusual problems.
I took my vehicle here to have some issues diagnosed and repaired. The problem was quickly diagnosed and my options were clearly presented to me. The repairs were completed in a timely manner and I took my vehicle home. On the drive home it was clear there were still issues. I called them back and they advised me of some possible issues that may work themselves out because of the fuel system cleaning that had been performed. The problem was worse the next day so I took the vehicle back. Upon inspection there was a manufacturer defect in some of the parts that were replaced, so these parts were again swapped out under warranty. This shop was professional throughout the process and was always responsive. Things arent always perfect, but this business will work to make it so. I will be back for my vehicle maintenance and repairs.
By far the BEST experience I’ve had dealing with car maintenance. The diagnostic to your car includes photos and videos of anything they recommend fixing. TJ had especially great customer service and walked me through any questions I had about suggested replacements. I recommend Dakota Ridge Auto body to anyone and everyone!
Knowledgeable, prompt service with friendly staff and efficient technology to assess the vehicle.
Thank you for the fast and friendly service! I really appreciate that the staff provided a text message notification when my vehicle was ready for pick up. The included diagnostic report was thorough and included pictures. It was also nice to have a package of microwave popcorn and a free car wash!Thank you Dakota Ridge Auto! I will definitely be back!
My SUV was leaking coolant. I usually take my vehicles to a dealer for repairs but Dakota Ridge Automotive was referred to me by someone I trust so I thought I would give them a try. They were professional, friendly, and thorough. They sent a detailed inspection report and estimate to my mobile device and the interface to approve/deny the repairs was so easy and convenient to use.Dakota Ridge Automotive has a new customer!
Amazing service. Brakes went out and was stranded by the shop. They fit me in to their busy schedule and communication was excellent. Highly recommend
Im always pleased with the work I have performed at this shop. The price are in part with other shops and well below dealers. They know what theyre doing and never a surprise bill or fee. The text message links to reports are great. Im very pleased with this shop and will continue to use them.
Always a great experience here. They are professional, communication was great and my car was ready before I anticipated. Genuinely a great and trustworthy business!
My 2007 Tacoma shook a little when I started driving forward from a complete stop. I also could hear a hum between 50 and 55 mph. Dakota Ridge found the problem and fixed it in one day. I’m more than satisfied. My thanks to Aaron and Dakota Ridge.
All of my experiences here have been amazing! They explain things that are going on with your car on a level where you understand. They work with you on prioritizing what should be done first and what can wait. They are super personable and overall genuine!
This place was great. I thought they were fair, honest, professional and VERY quick. They were also forthcoming. I will be back.
TJ was very professional, helpful and kind. Definitely will be back for any future services I will need :)
Great service. Reliable and courteous.
I manage a drive school (we teach teens and adults how to drive) and 10+ cars. TJ, Tim and the rest of the staff do a great job and diagnosing and repairing our cars quickly and correctly. I enjoy the professionalism and thoroughness of the jobs performed.6/11/2021 UpdateI continue to trust Dakota Ridge Auto for the needs of our fleet of cars. I know when I take a car there for small things (check engine lights, brakes, etc) or large things (transmissions) that I’m given options and great care. I appreciate them going through the car and inspecting other items during the process. They communicate very well and are generally helpful.At other shops I felt like I was inconveniencing them by being there. The pick up and drop off is useful too. When I take a car there, I trust that the repair is going to be done correctly and quickly. Our employees also take their personal cars there.
My check engine light came on so I took it in because of recommendations from old co-workers and I was extremely satisfied. They had everything fixed within 5 hours of me dropping the car off. They did a full inspection and let me know about other work that should be done, some of it was a little highly priced but seeing that you get a warranty with it ( I think 4 years or 50k miles) it seems pretty fair. Overall it was a great value and I will definitely be returning for any future repairs I need!
Very truthful, professional and easy to understand explanations. They didnt try to sell me anything my car did not need.
Very thorough quality work! Very happy with my first experience with them and will be back.
These guys were awesome, gave me lots of information without a bunch of technical jargon, and were super helpful.
The front desk staff was welcoming and willing to help. They answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable. Not once did I feel pressured to pay for a fix. Their shuttle was not running the day I went, so they called me an Uber free of charge! Excellent experience overall. I will definitely be coming back!
I was on my way to work this morning and my engine started overheating. I had just had service done at the dealership the day prior. I ended up pulling into Dakota Ridge Auto. I explained the situation and asked if they could help me out. They were very helpful and looked at my vehicle immediately. They found the problem (caused by a lack of attention to detail from the dealership) and had me back on the road within 20-minutes, at no charge. My engine temperature remained constant and none of the symptoms reappeared. Thank you, again, for your help! I will certainly recommend your shop to others.
In these challenging days it so important for a senior citizen to have trustworthy, honest, and detailed service people to count on. The team at Dakota Ridge Automotive meets and exceeds all of these! Call TJ or Tim...they can get the right crew members to take care of your vehicle.
Their careful inspection found a heater hose leak and was replaced with a 4 year warranty. Have had vehicles serviced here for years and am very confident in their work and highly recommend this shop.
Friendly and easy to deal with. Reasonable pricing. Will return.
Great service and they spent time discussing and explaining the repairs needed on our vehicle. Excellent customer service !
About one year ago I was told the ball joints on truck needed replaced, and truck was only 4 years old. Truck was there for an oil change. Took truck to the Chevrolet dealership to which they reported ball joints were fine. When I chose not to replace ball joints I was told that truck was unsafe for family, in an attempt to guilt me in to the service I’m assuming. Took truck back today in which was hassled again about the ball joints. Truck was there for an oil change. Wouldn’t recommend their service. Happy to report that one year later truck is fine and so is family. No issues with ball joints.
The service and attention to detail is top notch! The give detailed reports and will talk you through it. My family will bring our cars back for the years to come!
Dakota Ridge Auto is such a great place to take your car for repairs. The people are always nice, and the repairs get done quickly! The location is really convenient and easy to get to.
I’ve been going to Dakota Ridge for five years and though I took a break for a couple of years after getting a new truck as soon as I needed any work done I went right back to them. Fast fair service. Always friendly and respectful. I highly recommend them!
Recently moved to the area and was pleased to find a car place that is professional and nice to work with. Will use for future services. Had some leaks and rust problems in my transmission pan that they were able to sort out pretty quick.
Very professional, friendly, great quality work. They did a great job! They do the job right.
Taking my car to Dakota is like taking it to my own garage. It feels like being part of the family! Last time my car was in, TJ showed me his LED headlights and suggested how nice they would look on my Vette! A couple months later I got the same lights for my birthday and Dakota installed them… simply beautiful and amazing!!! They did an awesome job and as usual, it was very personalized service and done exceptionally well! They also found my little annoying and frustrating code affecting my brake lights…Thank you TJ and Dakota Auto!!!
Great job as always!
Did the oil change special from their website. They did a very thorough job on their courtesy inspection and found carbon buildup in our intake manifold valve train and leak in power steering hose.
Went in for an oil change so far so good. I like that they did offer a shuttle service which was needed on this visit. I also really like how they message you with service report info including pictures 🤘Rock on guys! Last thing another local Littleton auto shop quoted me $200 for the cabin filter & air filter for 2018 Jeep Cherokee. This place did all that and the full synthetic oil change for $150. Thanks for that great value. I will be back again
Never having used an automotive service before I was leery to say the least. TJ was awesome about keeping me informed and the extent of the work that needed to be done. Sent pictures and options to work within my budget. I can’t praise them enough for everything they did. I am definitely recommending them to anyone and everyone.Well done gentleman, well doneScott
Im a single senior. Know nothing about mechanical stuff. An easy mark for unscrupulous garages.Tim got my vehicle right in, had mechanics look for potential oil leak, then he double checked himself.Id left my truck idling cause of traveling with kitty and learned from Tim that condensation had trickled leaving flow mark on driveway - mostly water with some dirt and bit of oil from undercarriage.Charge? $0, which brought this anxious gal to tears. Of joy and relief!Good honest business.Almost wish I lived here so could rely on them when something DOES go wrong!
Dakota Ridge Auto review inspection is through and provided me knowledge of what repairs to expect about the used vehicle that I recently acquired. I am very satisfied with the work effort and customer support. _sS
TJ and the ream were awesome!!!!! INCREDIBLE communication, help with warrenty processing and skills to get the job done!
TJ and the whole team took great care of me. I had a time issue with a camping trip and they went out of their way to accommodate my schedule request. They got me in and out quickly, made recommendations for some fluid maintenance I knew was overdue, and they warranty their work. Fully trust Dakota Ridge auto, theyve earned my trust!
I was pretty impressed by TJ and their system overall. I love that you get a report including pictures detailing the work they are suggesting. I also like that they were easy to reach and that they finished the work when they said. Youve earned my business and I hope all future transactions are just as simple and smooth as this one.
Peace of mind never came so easy.
Had an appt to take my car in for oil change, when I got to the shop the gentleman checking me in acted like it was the biggest burden that I was there. Additionally I was unable to use a coupon listed online and he told me it was $100 for a full synthetic oil change. I was so put off by my initial rude encounter that I left. I’m so glad I did! Calling around it was only $50 for my oil change at Meinke and MUCH friendlier service and professionalism. I recommend going other places before giving this business your money.
These guys are great! T.J. was very attentive and transparent throughout the entire process. I never felt as if I was being deceived, and they had my car done much sooner than originally estimated. Great experience.
Professional, quality work. Im a very proud customer.
Fantastic service. Very professional through and through. Easy scheduling. Excellent work and super detailed after service report write up. Simply a great business.
We had a very noisy Subaru. Took it to the dealership and two other automotive shops for diagnoses. They couldnt find the issue, and we ended up driving a noisy vehicle for two years because we thought it was just the way it was.After being referred to this shop, the manager and staff diagnosed the issue same day and were able to repair the issue same day. It is not an exaggeration to state the vehicle drives and sounds like new. We can actually hear each other without raising our voices - its awesome!Very friendly, very knowledgeable, worth every penny. This is the only place I will take my vehicles again. Thanks a ton!
They were very friendly and professional. The work seems great. There were what looked like fluid spills on my engine, but after telling the manager they cleaned it. Great service!
I loved that I didn’t need to depend on a friend to help me drop off my car. They offered a ride home which was perfect. They listened to my concerns and told me the process that would happen to address them. It was fantastic that I got a text with information about what my car needed from urgent to recommended so I could make decisions on what to have done.
Dakota Ridge was very professional and reasonably priced. They took care of everything I needed in a reasonable amount of time and when all was done they left coupons for discounts on my nexts services as well as a free car wash and the place located directly next door!
Will definitely tell friends & family!
Very professional and were very thorough in their work and when discussing their findings with me. Won’t take my car anywhere else! Thanks guys!
I’ve worked together with TJ on our family’s fleet of cars for many years. He’s honest, straight forward, and accommodating. The charges are reasonable and I appreciate the advice he gives to prioritize repairs. Our cars are all “used” and don’t need to be perfect. He knows that. The rest of the crew there is also helpful and follows his lead.
Always great service and a job well done!
I am so happy that I choose this place when my check engine light came on. Granted, everything was leaking in my engine and I had to bite the bullet on some large repairs, but somehow I emerged from that experience feeling confident and taken care of. It was because of the amazing staff and service of this place that I didnt feel too burdened by my cars misfortune. Dakota Ridge made sure I understood everything that was going on with my car, sent me pictures and videos to show the extent of what was going wrong, and took the time to speak to me, explaining what went wrong, what I can watch out for, and just general information about my car. Shout out to Tim for talking to me like I actually know a little bit about the inner workings of my car (which I do) instead of treating me like a young blonde woman who is absolutely clueless and could never understand car care (which I get a LOT). Dakota Ridge was OVER communicative in a good way! I got a text after the initial inspection with pictures and video of what the inspection had uncovered, a call after that to walk through the repairs and estimate, and a real discussion about what needed to be repaired immediately and what I could wait 8 months to repair while I saved up some money, a text when the technician started the repairs, a call every time they ran into something unexpected in the repairs in order to keep me informed of the hiccups and possible changes to the estimate, and a call/text when my car was ready to pick up. They offer a lovely shuttle service to get you from your house to the shop so you dont have to Uber or beg a friend for a ride. And when I got in my car after all had been repaired there was a lovely note from the technician and a bag of popcorn as thanks for bringing my car to them (very nice touch!). All in all, I have never felt better cared for by an auto shop. Dakota Ridge Auto is the place to go!
They do great, reliable work.
They were very courteous and knowledgeable. Also I was very impressed by their technology, they did a very detailed inspection on my car and then sent me a link to an online report listing the issues, including pictures and notes from the technician. Then the customer service rep Tim took the time to explain everything to me and make recommendations about what items to address now. Overall I was very impressed with the service and happy with the results.
Finally feel like I found an honest mechanic that does good work. They explained everything in detail, and gave me good recommendations for preventative maintenance to do over the next few months.
Needed my moms car looked at because it wasnt running for a year, shes on a budget. These guys were so great. Tim looked at the car, checked it all out and emailed me all the stuff so I could make a decision what to do. This is the second time weve taken a car here and I feel they are very trust worthy.
Dakota Ridge Auto has always provided wonderful service! I have yet to know of someone that could top them. They provide great service for our vehicles as well as A+ customer service (especially Tim). They are honest and helpful rather than greedy and we plan to continue taking our cars there for all of their needs.
Dakota Ridge treated me great! They made sure that all the issues I had to repair were broken down and gave me options as to what should be repaired immediately or could wait. It was nice to know I could have these options.They kept me up to date on the work and worked with me.The car is running like new
Always feel taken care of and they provide detailed information on the status of your vehicle
Really nice and knowledgeable guys. They took the time to explain in detail what exactly was wrong with my vehicle and what they thought the best option for me was. They were very honest and offered up many solutions for me. I would definitely recommend them!
This was an exemplary service experience.- These guys know their stuff and are patient enough to explain technical aspects of your service- They take advantage of modern technologies to provide transparent results from inspections and make it crystal clear what exactly is being talked about- Communication was verbose and prompt, no detail was ambiguous.- The convenience of them providing the courtesy of driving customers home and back during service cant be understated- Most importantly, my vehicle drives like a dream now
This was my first time going to Dakota Ridge Auto and I was very pleased with the service and highly recommend them! I love the fact they text you when a technician is looking at your car, they send you a review of the 32 point inspection via text for you to look over before calling them to agree to extra services and they even give you a treat and voucher for a car wash! I’d have to say I’m coming back to them for the remainder of my car repairs and will never go to Breaks Plus or Midas again! I really wished they would open on Saturday even if it was a half day! Also, the manager Tj personally reached out to me the following day to make sure I was satisfied with their business! Thank you Dakota Ridge Auto.
Wow you want to talk about a truly honest shop. I brought my f150 in for an alignment after installing a lift (leveling kit). After the team did the Alignment analysis with their equipment everything checked out to be in the manufactures recommended tolerance. No adjustment was needed. They said they didn’t perform any work so there is no cost. I tried to pay them for their time to do the analysis but they said no. Truly a professional and honest group. I highly recommend them and will use them in the future. A+.
The owner and the entire staff were very friendly and efficient. Also, the prices are reasonable. Definitely will use than again. Plus, you get a deluxe car wash free.
Dakota Ridge Auto has some pretty stellar customer service. Their communication is great and they offer rides to and from the shop. They even sent me an Uber late in the day when my ride to the shop fell through. These guys have modern customer service figured out.
These guys did a great job with my fleet van. Thank you!!!
We had car trouble during a road trip and Dakota Ridge was so accommodating to us. We are very grateful for the attention, kindness, and generosity they showed to us. Along with fixing our car, they gave us great suggestions for an overnight hotel, provided us complimentary transit to our hotel, and stayed in close contact with us about the status of our vehicle. They even had it finished earlier than expected. I would highly recommend this business.
I have the tendency to feel intimidated whenever I have to do anything with my car. Too bad at maintenance is too important to overlook. This time around I was in need of an oil change and was looking for a location closer to my house. After doing a google search I decided on Dakota Ridge Auto after reading their reviews. Scheduling and confirming my appointment was seamless with TJ. The shop was easy to find and small enough to feel approachable. My car was finished in a timely manner and I received complimentary rides to and from the shop. I appreciate the quick thorough work and kindness of the staff.
I was pleased with my oil change the first time I went there but the second time, which was this Monday, I did not appreciate how some repairs were imposed on me. I did appreciate that TJ took the time to check my car’s issues but when I said I just want an oil change, he started arguing with me that I need to do all other repairs. I think there is a difference between informing your customer and allowing him in a respectful manner to chose what he wants to do. I was disappointed that he was pressuring me to do all other repairs that were $3000, and felt like he just wanted to make more money off of me. If you want your customer to come back, don’t try to force him to get repairs he doesn’t want to, just as simple as that. It makes me not trust this place and I will not go there again.
Dakota Ridge was so great at making something usually stressful so easy and smooth! In addition to easy scheduling, when our car was going to need to stay overnight they offered a complimentary rental car! I was so relieved that we could go on with our schedules as normal while one vehicle was in the shop. Returning to pick up my car in a nice rental and driving away 5 minutes later was so convenient!! I will always use Dakota Ridge! They came recommended with my AAA membership and I am so pleased.
This was my first visit to this shop. The team at Dakota Ridge Auto, were thorough with my vehicle inspection and were able to get me in and out as promised. With a quality work by skilled technicians. I usually do the work on my own vehicles, but sometimes need to out source and I will definitely be returning, thanks!
Great customer service! My repair ended up taking a couple days to finish (waiting on a part), but during the repair, they were able to get me a rental car - on their dime! I also appreciate the detailed inspection report they provide. They are good with their communication, too. Highly recommend!
These guys are so awesome. A friend recommended them when I needed someone to check out a used car I was considering buying. (I did buy it, after getting a thorough rundown of the shape the car is in). The folks at Dakota Ridge were absolutely fantastic, friendly, up-front, and accommodating. Ive not always had the best experiences with mechanics, so Im so glad to find a place I can feel good about taking my new-to-me Civic. Big thanks!
I came in for an oil change and the service was great. They offered a free ride back to my house so I would’ve have to wait, got a free tire rotation, inspection, and voucher for a car wash. Will definitely be coming back!
Great, friendly service as always! I love taking my car to Dakota Ridge. They are consistently helpful, honest, and offer very fair prices! I love the little extra touches like free car wash and popcorn. Going there is always a pleasant experience.
My car runs great after the oil change and the problem with the snow tires making too much noise on the road is solved. I appreciate how you listened to my concerns and took great care in finding solutions. I will be back to see you soon.Michelle Johnson
The staff is always very informative and personable..I trust them to tell me exactly what is going on with my vehicle, and to repair it quickly and efficiently..
This team is awesome! To say I had a few issues with my old truck would be an understatement, but they have handled everything I could have thrown at them inexpensively and incredibly fast. I won’t let anyone else work on any of my vehicles now. Quality service, and a great overall experience. Thanks to the whole team!
Great facility and attentive staff. Diagnostic report very thorough and helpful- indicated just what was needed immediately. Price of service was as quoted. Appreciated courtesy van service. Will definitely use again.
The total price of full synthetic oil change after the $10 coupon was $67.39. This was for my tiny Fiat. So if I were to return, the next change would be $77.39. The last change for my V6 VW performed elsewhere cost $63 regular price. This service was just too expensive.The service managers werent wearing masks either. I find that inconsiderate at best.
I consider myself to be pretty particular about my vehicle. That was until I spoke with TJ at Dakota Ridge. I have had them work on two very specific products for my vehicle. Both times, TJ took the time to discuss the specifics and re-assure me that they cared just as much as I do. I appreciate the personal approach that he and his team take to each interaction. They were nice enough to drop me off at my office on a busy morning. It is difficult to make customers feel welcome, safe and appreciated, unless you have leadership like TJ, and a dedication to excellence. Thanks again!
Great customer service and precision work. Every time I have brought my car here they have been able to pinpoint the issue and fix my car in a timely manner.This is a place I trust and would recommend to anyone looking to take care of their car.
Bit pricey for an alignment on a 4x4 truck with a 2in lift but, I was very satisfied with the work done and the outcome considering the truck did have frame damage. The cost was $200 which I had no problem paying given the extra work needed. If the truck was in good shape though I think I may had shopped around more. The additional cost was due to the lift while the price for nonlifted vehicles seems very reasonable otherwise. overall, I feel that the staff provided good customer service and quality of work.
Always great service! Dakota Ridge techs have, several times, found needed repairs that my manufacturer warranty covered. The folks there are never pushy about the work needed and always deliver approved repairs on time. Glad they’re in my neighborhood.
Great facility with friendly and efficient staff. They were able to get me in and out faster than quoted! After the oil change and the cleaning of the fuel system, my car is more responsive, the ticking at idle is gone, and accelerating is smoother. I will be be back to Dakota Ridge automotive!- Rick
