Awesome shop. They’ve done a bunch of stuff on my car for my Honda Civic to bring it back up to snuff after some neglect and I’ve never questioned their integrity or know how. Even straightened my steering wheel to make it straight upon request during an alignment when other shops would leave it crooked even after requesting it. I’m going on 210,000 miles and drives and runs awesome still. Wish I wouldn’t have moved so far away because I’d bring my car to them no question.

Great service at fair pricesI recently brought my car to Dred Scott Auto for a second opinion after having a very expensive repair done elsewhere. I found that their pricing for that repair would have been $500 less than I paid! I had been given a list of needed repairs from the former garage that totaled over $2000! The guys at Dred Scott looked it over and did what was needed for $600. The rest wasnt needed.They also had a car for me to use during the repair. Dred Scott Auto is now my garage. They are honest, courteous, and had the car done when stated.

Great place to take your car!!I went in and there was an issue with a faulty oil filter and my car leaked. The owner himself called me and brought me a loaner car and took mine back to the shop to correct the issue!!! Very polite and very first class!! All around a great experience in spite of the faulty part which was in way the fault of the shop!! I will be coming back here in the future!

I have been going to Dred Scott Auto for many years. I love that they are family owned. They make you feel like family. I really appreciate the expertise of Jeff the mechanic who works there. He was able to give me several more years of use with my old car. They are all great!

They were very friendly, professional and courteous. Even have me a ride to and from work (5-6 blocks) while they worked on my van. Done timely and right... Recommend to anyone...

We have used Dred Scott Automotive for about 13 years. Always honest about service needing done. Insurance sent us to another shop after getting a quote from them and the other shop wanted 300.00 more for the same service. Will keep going to these guys.

Simple oil change, but rare to find such a positive staff: no matter the time, no matter the day. Awesome crew.

Located in Bloomington and travels to Shakopee and Eden Prairie but Prior Lake is way too far out of the way according to the gentleman. You pass Prior Lake on your way to Shakopee bud. Only reason you recieved 1 star is because I had no choice.

Highly recommend! Nate and his guys at Dred Scott Automotive are top notch. I’ve brought multiple vehicles here for various things like alternator changes, AC issues, and pre-purchase inspections and I’ve been extremely happy with the price and service every time. They get the job done right the first time and give you honest, realistic quotes. I’ve dealt with many shops over the years and this is the one that I choose and recommend to others, even if they’re across town.

One of the only places I trust to work on my car. Communication, honesty, and quality of work are top notch. They are approachable and easy to work with. Get things done promptly on time. I do Quality Assurance for a living and can tell they put a lot of pride in their work and dont cut corners. Nate and Alex are personable and put you at ease while you talk through your options for fixing your car. Would recommend this place to anybody who needs a mechanic that they can trust. Impressive.

I would recommend this shop to anyone that needs any type of honest, fair repair or maintenance done! Nate and Alex were both very friendly and treated me with respect, even though I’m not exactly knowledgeable about vehicles. I had gone to another shop in the area and they had told me I needed $2,000 in repair work brakes and a couple of leaks. I then took the car to Dred Scott hoping to get another opinion and they not only told me but showed me that the brakes did not need to be replaced, and not only that but the leaks were terribly misquoted. Dred Scott got the leak fixed for me for over $700 cheaper than the other place had said it would be! And the brakes didn’t need to be done for about another 15-20,000 miles. All in all if you are looking for a quality, knowledgeable, honest, and prompt shop this should be your go to repair shop! They can take care of all your needs and will do it right the first time.

Phenomenal experience!If youre looking for a reliable mechanic, then STOP wasting your time. This is hands down, the best experience Ive ever had with an auto-mechanic. Not only did they fix my car for an extremely affordable price, but they also informed me of a huge issue with my vehicle that was the result of poor mechanical work from another shop (Honest1 Auto).Honest1 had glued my spark plugs to the connectors with elmers glue, and decided not to tell me that they broke the connectors in the first place. Unbeknownst to me, this caused even more issues with the vehicle, resulting in me having to replace all the spark-plugs and connectors again (This time going through Dred Scott).The mechanics at Dred Scott were kind enough to write their own notes (pertaining to the glued spark -plugs) and this allowed me to take the notes back into Honest1 for a full refund for Honest1s awful service. I seriously could not be happier with these guys... They literally made me money!!!All said and done, my car runs as good as new now, and Ive got a go-to mechanic. Thanks Dred Scott auto :)

From my first phone call, I really appreciated the service that the folks at Dred Scott gave me. Nate, the service manager I believe, was very personable and also straight forward on the phone and in person. Despite me being pretty late for my appointment they were still able to help, and I even got a ride from Paul (I believe the Bait Shop/Gas Station manager which is attached/part of the same business I believe), who was also quite personable and friendly, to and from my place so that I was able to get some things done at my place while they worked.A truly 5 star experience. Being new to town, Im happy to have found where Ill have my vehicle serviced so long as Im in the area.Thanks gentlemanPS shoutout obviously to the guys who did the work on my car, I just wasnt able to catch their names!

I was told after an oil change I needed $2000+ worth of work on my vehicle.I got an independent mechanic to look at what they said needed replacing and i was told everything was solid.Steer clear of this place at all costs and find an honest garage. They are out there like minocco on penn ave.
