Great service with competitive pricing. You should consider this place for all your European car needs. I visited Good Carma once in NE Minneapolis and was taken for a ride with high prices and poor customer service. Will return to Baraka again soon. Thank you 😊

DO NOT TAKE YOU CAR HERE. found the deal on groupon. They put 5w20 in my car when it takes 5w30. My mechanic called it a Crack head place. They didnt honor my groupon which specifically inclue full synthetic. Ali at the front charged me an extra 40. They suck. Im going to get it changed again at a different place tomorrow. I want my monew back Ali. You guys suck

Called for an oil change and they made me an appointment same day at my convenience. Also, pointed out another serious issue I had (which I had forgotten about) when rotating my tires and let me stay to get it taken care of right away at a much more reasonable price than I had been quoted before for the same issue. My car runs great and I feel much more safe driving now. Great team/staff!

Ive been a couple times for an oil change cause they have a good groupon deal. The guys at northeast are nice, work hard, fast, and most recently gave me a really good bundle price for some work I needed done. Thanks.

I came here for an oil change. They were very fast and accommodating as I scheduled it the same day, basically as a walk in appointment. They even gave me a free tire rotation. I give them two thumbs up for efficiency and customer service!

Baraka Auto Center turned around our Jetta in less than a day. They helped to diagnose the issues with the car, showed us the issues before they did the work, recommended the work to be done, did a great job, and then reviewed all the replacements with us afterwards - all at a great price. We would absolutely use them again! Thank you Baraka Auto Center!

This place is great, very very reasonable pricingWent in for an oil change; synthetic, paid $50 with laborAnd then was told and shown my front brakes needed replacing and at first I was gonna put it on the back burner but then was quote such a good price I had to get them done. Car feels greatThey did an amazing job and took care of me.If you’re going to complain about cleanliness, I get where you’re coming from but they’re not a boutique it’s a auto repair shop, it’s supposed to be dirty because they’re busy doing a good job not worried about cleaning.2nd visitGreat guys, quality work fantastic price!!!! Can’t be beat!

I came into Baraka Auto and had my rear wheel bearings fixed. A few weeks later I had the same noise continue after they fixed it. I brought my car back and they diagnosed that one of the new bearings was defective. They got me in right away and fixed the issue. I recommend Baraka Auto to anyone looking for quality service!

I had a flat tire and took my car at Baraka. They took a look right away and fixed my tire in 15 minutes for a very cheap price. They were very professional and efficient. They also advised me for the cheapest (and still safe) solution. Totally worth it (and they saved my day).

I can not say enough about the fantastic service I received at this body shop. Every person I dealt with was so very accommodating. The work was done in a professional and timely manner. Ali and the receptionists are top notch employees!! I will always recommend this shop for anyone who needs body work on their car!

Review №31

Simply put this is an A+, 5 star place to come for your auto needs. I literally cannot ask for anything more out of a company. From the moment I called to make an appointment to the second I picked up my completed car, I was taken care of. One of the owners, Ali was outstanding. He went the extra mile to make sure everything was 100% taken care of and inspected. This is the 3rd time my family has come here for repairs and each time was an A+.

Review №33

The WORST SERVICE EVER!!!! I came to this auto shop specifically because of a deal on Groupon and its rating, I was incredibly disappointed in the service and professionalism. My car was keep up to tip-top shape and its was time for an oil change, but had a tire rotation based on the Groupon deal. Based on the reviews I was expecting a really friendly experience, service, professionalism and fair pricing. Unfortunately, I experienced none of these things.They were rude per-se (in a racist presentation) & the head office manager was stand-offish. My car was driving very well, but when the tire rotation was done. Driving for the next week the car would have a vibration at 55 mph. Of course, they would try to up sell me, but Id advice I would like to have my mechanic look at it for me. When Id call to advise them of the problem. They claim that it was not their fault and how would they know it happen at their shop. As I said before and witness to GOD. There wasnt a problem with the car and driving felt like I just drove the car off the show room floor.I HATE this attitude at the auto shop and avoiding responsibility for their damage. Its was really frustrating to be treated this way. After Id took my car to my mechanic - ($250 later) the drive is EXCELLENT & was advised that their shop should have fixed the problem immediately. I expect to be treated with respect and WOULDNT recommend this third rate auto shop to anyone in Minneapolis and through the Twin Cities.

Extremely thorough and friendly mechanics. Theyll tell you everything that needs to done, as well as give you the full list of repairs that can put off for a while. As with any BMW mechanic, be prepared to part with large sums. These guys are excellent & cheap

Steer clear of this place; theyll try and con you into a bunch of unnecessary repairs. I went here to get my vehicle diagnosed for a squealing noise and other issues. They told me I needed new pads and rotors on the front and rear of the vehicle (I just had the pads and rotors in the front replaced a few months). They also told me there were a number of other issues such as leaking hoses. They told me to fix everything it would be $1,800. I decided to hold off until my familys mechanic was available a few days later. Turns out I just needed new brake pads in the rear which only cost $200 and that I had one minor leak that wasnt anything to worry about.Ill never go here again. The only reason I did was because it has a bunch of decent reviews, which I assume were created by many fake google accounts.

We needed a last minute oil change before we went on our road trip and we were told they usually only take appointments, but they squeezed us in immediately and got it changed very quickly and at a very reasonable price. I definitely recommend!

Review №45

Ive been changing my oil with these guys for the past 3 years. Ive been using the groupon for a discount on the synthetic oil for a hybrid car (Chevy Volt). Theyll always top it off all the way (I check the oil dipstick) and never had any issues. I agree, its hard to get them on the phone sometimes, but once youre there they go all out when it comes to customer service. My engine check light went off a day after I changed the oil, and they hooked it up to the computer and did the diagnostics for free, just to reassure me the code is not related to the oil change.

This place is great. Just gave it a try with a Groupon and I was so impressed I brought my mom’s car in the next day. It’s an independent shop, not a big chain. Everybody was very friendly. I usually like to start with something small to gauge the customer service. I will be back. If you have an appt., they are as fast as the quick change places. .

I got a quote for starter replacement for my 2012 Audi A4 from a different garage. When I heard about them through a friend I towed my car to Baraka. They replaced my starter for way cheaper than nobody can do it. They are so honest.

This place is a SCAM, or should I say the front desk guy is! I bought a Groupon for an oil change and after they got done the idian guy who works the front desk try to scam me and told me I had to pay for taxes. I was like WTF?!? I had my badge on and he asked me where I worked. I told him I worked in corrections/public safety then he immediately said nevermind you can pay me later. If they try to scam you, report them to the police department for investigation. I am NEVER going back here and I will be sure everyone I know does not support this scammer.

Review №66

This place is like a black shop, con your car and money.I initially requested a price of an oil change service and I was told $54 with coupon, I was shock then I showed the coupon clearly indicated $40 for oil change. THEN UNTIMATELY,the cashier charged me for $45 as $5 is going to tax. How could it be possible? 12% tax? That is too much! I never go this place again! And also, there is no invoice given at the end, just a receipt showing $45!

hi
Review №67

If you hate someone badly, let him/her go to the place. You should also go if you dont know where to waste your time and money.Worst service you can get in Twin cities!!!!!! Will never be back again!!!!!! Would never refer anyone use their service!!!!!! The front desk will keep misleading until you realize you were cheated. You can schedule a time before 9 am but mechanics never shows up and no one would start working after 9. Would give 0 star if possible.

Review №68

I dont think I will be back here. Paid for oil change and tire rotation, was argued with that rotating old tires off and new tires on is a different more expensive service than rotating the 4 existing tires on the car. Everything was already on rims so its not like I was trying to argue that mounting/balancing, or any extra service should be done. Eventually they agreed to do it for the original price but at first they wanted to charge me an extra $$$. Stupid as the labor and service is the same. Language barrier when trying to speak with technicians actually doing the work. Also one of my lug nuts stripped out so they still found a way to charge me an extra $5.Business owner: PLEASE NOTE that a little customer service goes a long way, ESPECIALLY for a new customer.

If there was an option to select 0 stars I would. Their service was terrible. I went for an oil change, and it suddenly turned into so much more without them telling me.They then lied and claimed they called me to authorize the additional work. I literally had to show them my phones call log to prove they did not. I would never go back there or recommend anyone to go there.
