Rack Attack was recommended to me as The Place to go for bike racks. I called the day before to discuss available hitch mount bike rack options for my new jeep. The gentleman was very helpful. Didnt rush to get off the phone and even checked to see what was in stock. I decided on the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 (lightweight and compact) and went in the following day (5/30) to purchase and have it installed. The gentleman who helped me was friendly and took the time to explain how everything worked. Kudos guys, overall great experience. Good customer service is hard to come by these days. :)

Place is awesome. Excellent selection and service. Pretty amazing that even in this era of supply chain challenges, I could walk in, find exactly the rooftop box I wanted, have it installed right away, drive away set for the ski season. Thanks!

I had a great experience from the first call to the follow through with install. They were very helpful. Their store was inviting and clean. All the guys I came in contact with were friendly and knowledgeable. My new hitch looks fantastic. Came in as promised and they were very easy and accommodating with scheduling! Thanks Rack Attack Team.

I was looking for a specific item (the Thule lift), which the staff verified was in stock and held for me to pick up. While in the store I asked a couple of questions and found the staff to be very helpful and had first-hand knowledge of their gear. If you need a specific item, or if you just need advice for your particular situation, this is your store!

Great service. Great products. Very helpful on getting us setup with the right system for all our rack needs - cargo, skiing, biking, etc.

Paid for the purchase of the hitch a few weeks back. They call when the hitch is delivered and scheduled the installation. I showed up and an hour later, its done. Friendly service, clean facility.

I sensed immediately that Gregg was a true expert-he knew all there is to know about bike racks. He helped me find the best rack for my needs - he recommended an older model in stock that checked all of my boxes but wasnt as pricey as the brand new models. My husband and I just took it out on its premier voyage and it worked great. Thanks, Gregg!

Rack Attack installed a hitch for bikes on our 19-yo car - no small feat and it’s clearly a professional job. We returned a few years later to add a wiring harness and that was top-notch as well. They even went out of their way to tighten the bike rack - a nice added bonus. Thank you, Rack Attack! We’ll be back!

Staff is very knowledgeable, willing to help and answer questions regarding getting the right products for your specific needs and within your budget. Was greeted warmly, respectfully in both visits to the store. Definitely, will continue relying on these guys as my goto source for my needs related to racks/carrier solutions.

Purchased a hitch in store, great customer service over the phone and with the gentleman in store. Lobby area was clean and organized. Checked out with the price quote over the phone. When I got home the hitch didn’t line up with the car frame. First I thought it was the wrong one, upon further inspection the hitch was bent on one side and had cracked paint with surface rust. After beating on it with a sledge hammer I got it to fit, I live 50 miles from the store not worth going back. Originally a lower review, company reached out right away to make it whole. Rick was respectful and took feedback to strengthen both sides. I would not hesitate to use these folks again. It says a lot for a company that takes customer service beyond the point of sale now days. Nice job guys all around

Excellent service from all employees, very helpful, considerate and knowledgeable. As a customer service rep. for a major printing company I can appreciate attention to detail, and I found the level of attention to the customers was just how I would expect it. Keep up the good work!

A forest-fire-induced change in plans meant that we needed a canoe rack for our new Mazda within one day. We went to Rack Attack at our neighbors recommendation, and they had everything we needed for a Thule rack within an hour, at a good price! Strongly recommend!

Went in to buy a bunch of bike rack supplies for a new car and not a great experience. I recommend going in knowing exactly what you want if you ask any questions call the guy will say is it’s entirely up to you. What do you want dinner willing to spend a lot of money on it I would recommend going somewhere else.

Good selection of high quality bike racks. Nice displays in the store so you can see the bike racks assembled. We wanted a RockyMounts bike rack, which isnt easy to find anywhere else locally, but these guys had it in stock. Happy to support a local business, and we would recommend them to anyone!

Rack Attack Minneapolis has a first class team. While busy due to the continued Covid-inspired movement to outdoors activities, the team was attentive, knowledgeable and responsive. Their expertise on the products (I bought a Thule rack and Yakima cargo box) was first class.I will be a repeat customer as my wife needs a bike rack :)

Review №24

We spent a lot of time looking online for carriers for a trip out west. The staff at Rack Attack showed us some different option, explained why/why not for different options. The carriers/racks were more expensive than I was expecting going in, but feel I good about the money we have spent! The team members referred us to other places for items that are hard to get right now and have been EXTREMELY friendly and helpful at all times! I highly recommend!! Thanks for your help!

More than 5 stars. Truly went above and beyond. Got a rack installed on my roof, and they took it upon themselves at no extra charge to fix something that I didnt know was a problem. Would recommend going here to a friend.

We were looking everywhere online for a larger Thule car top carrier and everyone was out of stock. “Call Rack Attack. They always have stuff when everyone else is out,” my wife shared from the other room. Never have heard of Rack Attack before, I called, found they had what we wanted in stock, accepted payment over the phone and a week later I was there picking up the box.The staff was courteous, friendly, and forthcoming. “You feel comfortable installing the clamps? We can carry the box out, put it on your SUV, and I call walk you through it. Otherwise it’ll cost $30.” I appreciated the candor and I had attached many carriers before so I ended up taking the extra 5 mins to install myself.While I didn’t spend a lot of time there, it was clear they had a good selection of inventory, knowledgeable staff (overheard another employee explaining the differences between bike rack pros/cons to another couple), and reasonable prices.I’d go back for sure.

Review №31

Great experience with Rack Attack. First off, my install was a bit of a custom job since I was looking to add a rack for a Thule hullavator, that I already owned, to a van that has an existing rack set up for ladders and heavy hauling. I knew it was going to take a separate cross bar set up. The staff took time to listen to what I was trying to achieve and was able to set me up with the correct pedestals and mounting kit to work with the existing track on the van (I had already purchased additional bracket plates for the track from the existing rack company). Beyond that, they took the extra step of going out to my van to measure to make sure I would have the clearances I needed so the racks wouldn’t interfere with each other and the hullavator would function properly and clear the mirror.When I went in I was just looking for advice about whether it was even possible. I hadn’t expected to purchase, but after they did such a thorough job checking it out, I ended up purchasing all of the parts that I needed that day. Went home, installed, and everything works great. Thanks!

Excellent service. Helped me get all the right parts to install a Yakima rack on top of my car. Instead of convincing me to have them install, they explained it was something I could do myself which I ended up doing. I am stoked to now be able to put bikes and boards on my roof.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I knew the bike rack I needed for our new ebikes before going to Race Attack and the service person still spent time to show me all the features of the rack and ordered the hitch for my Mazda CX-5. I would recommend them to anyone needing expert advice and installation.

Review №36

The assistant manager is extremely unpleasant and unfriendly. He has terrible customer service skills. I returned a bike rack a few weeks ago and the guy couldnt have been more difficult. The rack I returned was brand new never used and he tore the box open and inspected the rack with a microscope hoping to find a scratch just so he could deduct money from my refund. I was shocked at how poor his attitude was and how standoffish he was. This store seems decent, just get rid of the guy who clearly hates his job. Its hurting the entire business....0 stars.........

These guys are great. Easy to order parts / schedule appointment. Knowledgeable sales staff helped us pick out the right parts for the trailer we needed to tow. Saved us ~$1500 versus what was quoted to install a hitch at the dealership. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family.

The guys at rack attack were very helpful in assisting me with the type of roof rack I needed. The only problem was they were out of stock on the cross bars that my vehicle required, but everyone else was too. I was able to locate an aftermarket rack that fit my car and rack attack helped me pick out kayak holders that attached perfectly. I would definitely recommend them to everyone.

Review №47

I just got a roof rack installed at Rack Attack. It’s the third time that I have taken a vehicle in for installation. I keep going back because RA is clean, has a great, well stocked showroom and a comfortable waiting area. But more than all of that, it is a great group of young enthusiastic guys that work there. Their work is top notch and always done on time as promised. When my rack and new Yakima Sky box had been installed one of their guys patiently explained the ins and outs of my new setup to ensure that I understood. It’s actually a pleasure to go there which, for a guy who hates to shop or wait, is saying something.

Rack attack is the best in the business. Every staff member I’ve ever worked with seems to know everything about every category of product and every option in those categories. They stock the highest quality items too, so I know that I’ll have what they sell me for a long time. Best of all, they stand behind what they sell and can help in any way they possibly can if you’ve got a problem.

Review №75

Rack Attack was our first stop after getting our new Subaru Outback in 2016, and I couldnt be happier. They installed a hitch, and I got a Thule roof box. I was impressed with the quality and installation, but I have been amazed by the ongoing customer support. I had a hidden fuse go out on the trailer lights while leaving for a trip, and I stopped by RA and they fixed it on the spot-- no charge! Today I stopped by RA because the front lifter on the roof box broke after 4 years-- and they replaced it at no charge! If you want quality auto hitches & carriers that last, you need look no further.

The customer service is amazing! I went in knowing almost nothing about how to select/utilize car racks. I wanted to fully outfit our new Rav4 with a hitch, bike rack, kayak/canoe racks, etc. Many different employees have helped me and they have all been very helpful and patient answering my questions and setting me up. Over the course of the last year they have helped me set up my Rav4 perfectly for our adventures. They have had every opportunity to be annoyed at all my questions or act like “know it alls” but it never happened once. They’ve been only friendly and helpful. I could never have been able to haul our bikes/canoe/kayaks/skis without them. If you are interested in getting a rack definitely check them out. Thanks Rack Attack!

I ended up getting a Thule T2 pro rack installed as well as a hitch on my vehicle. The salesman Nathan was great and so was the installer. They both were patient, and answered all the questions I had in comparing several racks and how the hitch works in detail. I also got a good price on the rack. It took an hour and a half to install just like they said. Happy with how smooth things went and I love the rack, it’s really nice. Great job guys!
