Im a lifelong northeastern, bu this was the first time Ive been to Stinson Automotive. I do a lot of my own auto work but my 14 Acura MDX needed a knock sensor, water pump and timing belt, some serious engine surgery. Found Dave very knowledgeable plus excellent communications around if we did or didnt do the knock sensor replacement. His estimate was fair given the amount of labor involved and exactly matched the final bill. My MDX is all better now. Highly recommend Stinson Automotive.

Stinson Auto is the best auto shop Ive ever used. They are so kind, knowledgeable, and sweet! I know anytime my car needs servicing that they are the best option. I have complete confidence in them and will use them for years to come even if I move out of Northeast. I recommend them to family and friends because weve had such great service for the past five years. Dave and Leann are amazing.

The most honest and thurough mechanics I have ever met. David and Leigh Anne treat you like friends and not customers. I love this place.

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have this as our local auto repair shop. They are honest, fast, and fair. I am not a car guy by any means, and they always take the time to explain problems and options for how to fix them. We have a neighborhood partner in keeping our cars running as they should.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Very kind, quick, and so affordable!!! I needed a new alternator and I got one a few years ago so they even kindly asked if the last place had a warranty so I could get it done for free at the last place I had it done! The warranty ran out so I opted for them to put in a new one, but this time around my alternator was much cheaper, faster, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so blessed to have found this place!!!

I have just moved to the neighbourhood. I had a problem with my Mazda jeep. Dave immediately took care of the problem, with great care. He is very experienced with any kind of car and easily fixed my problem. He explained everything in great detail and it was very affordable. It is great to have a local place like this in the neighbourhood. 5 star service. I will recommend this place to any of my friends

I would recommend them to all my friends and family. I can’t say enough good things about David and the other friendly staff there. When you find someone honest and trustworthy it’s such a relief. I’ve never felt better about giving my money to an auto shop. They’ve always done the best the could to find ways of making things affordable when at all possible and honestly laying out all the options without any pressure whatsoever.

One of the last, honest, service places left in the world. With over 25 years experience, Dave knows his stuff. A place you can trust.

Honest hard working people. Outbof all the Auto Shops I have been to, these guys are the best. Had my AC compressor replaced. They wont try to get additional sales out of you. They will let you know if they find something else while working on your vehicle and let you know how urgent it is. I totally recommend these guys.

My parents have been going to Stinson Auto for the past 20 years and I have followed in their footsteps ever since I learned how to drive (which was 11 years ago). Dave and Leann are beyond amazing and are completely trustworthy.Not only does Dave teach me about whats going on with my vehicle, but he will let me know whats worth spending the money on and whats not.This review really doesnt do them justice. Stinson Auto is exceptional and I recommend them to everyone!

David & Leeann are the greatest people. David does exceptional work. David is absolutely the best mechanic that I’ve ever worked with in my life. David is very factual and knowledgeable about vehicles and provides the best possible solution for the customer. If I could give this mechanic shop 1 million stars. I would. I recommend this shop to my very close friends and relatives. I trust Stinson Automotive!Sincerely,Dominique Robinson

Family operated and gives great pricing and doesnt scam for things that dont need to be done. They are very good about going over what needs to be done and what can wait for another time.Breathe of fresh air to go to a car shop that takes their customers into account and helps them make the right decision and great staff!

These guys are awesome. They are so trustworthy, kind, efficient, and do 100% quality work. I had to find a new mechanic when I moved and I am so happy to have found them. I drive a 95 Honda Accord - so it needs some special TLC and also an understanding of cost/benefit work on a car that age. These guys are so wonderful. Theyre always able to get my car worked on right away. They answer every question, they also help explain exactly what is going on with my car and why. They help you make the right decision about repairs, etc.

You wont find a better shop. Period. Leann runs a tight ship and Dave and his small crew are great. They are honest, thorough, and keep you in the loop when it comes to diagnosis. Great shop, would recommend them to anybody.

I love that I can take my car to David and Leann and trust they will do a great job at a fair price. They communicate often, explain things in a way I can understand, and dont upsell. David even went out to start my car today in 10 degree weather while I paid my bill. Cant say enough good things about Stinson auto!

Stinson automotive is the place. Put simply: I do not speak car. Dave always communicates with me in simple terms that someone who knows nothing about cars can understand. He always tells me whats wrong with my cars but never insists that anything be fixed. He ranks problems in terms of safety and says Heres everything thats wrong with the car, and if you can only fix one thing do this: xyzI feel like I can really trust Dave and Leann to tell me what is needed and I can trust that they wont rip me off. Fair prices, amazing service and amazing communication. Dont even hesitate.

Review №28

I came to this shop due to the reviews and not being familiar with mechanics in the area and am leaving as a satisfied customer. Best repair shop Ive worked with hands down. I had two separate issues with my car within a two month span that were hard to pin down. Throughout the process I was provided with a loaner car, received a call off hours to check in and see if the issue was still present and they even came to my house one of the times to diagnose the issue in my driveway when my car wouldnt start. Prices were very reasonable and service outstanding! Will be recommending this shop to all my friends and family.

Amazing! Always top-notch customer service. Theyll tell you what other stuff they find while doing the work you requested. They tell you what is essential and what isnt and let you deiced. They dont hold your car hostage forcing you to have your blinker fluid changed, or pressure you into paying for other services than what you asked for. They simply inform you of what is happening with your vehicle.Quick, reliable, excellent, service. Truly a garage you can trust!

Best imaginable repair experience. Kept me informed every step of the way, researched several alternatives, made a great recommendation, got the work done right on time, the results were excellent, and how all that work and service were done for such a modest price I honestly cant understand. Five stars is not enough.

Friendly knowledgeable staff. I got a follow up call a few days later after my repair asking if my vehicle was running well. I dont remember any other mechanic doing that in my 20+ years of driving.I was given estimates on suggested items that needed to be addressed but there was no pressure put on me to do them immediately.I just moved to the area and am happy to have found an honest shop close by.

We have been using Stinson Automotive now for 12 years. Fabulous service, knowledgeable, and willing to educate you on your car. As a woman I feel super comfortable working with David (owner), and any of the other mechanics. They offer reasonable pricees and are not pushy, and are very honest about what should be done, and what can be completed in the future. No pressure approach. We have had our cars worked on there since 2005. Even though we have moved from NE Mpls still go here. Thank you Dave and LeAnne!!

A+++. I took my car Doris the Taurus here today for a high-pitched noise I didnt recognize, in addition to getting a check-up on everything before winter strikes. The technicians sit in the car with you as you drive around, so that they can work WITH YOU to pinpoint any irregularities / abnormalities.

I needed my truck towed and I was billed per mile. I paid the bill immediately the truck was delivered and when I asked my son where they had picked my truck, I realized they had billed me wrong. They had added ten more miles. They are very dishonest.
