I was having some car issues and the owner was able to look at my car, tell me what was wrong and fix it in a day! He was super friendly and the issues were very minor so he did not charge me for them. I will definitely be going back here if I have more car trouble. I would highly suggest this place, as I am generally weary of mechanics, but this place was great!

On a road trip from upstate NY to the Midwest, our car suddenly started idling at twice its normal rate. We knew we would arrive in Minneapolis over Memorial Day weekend, so on a friend’s recommendation we called ahead to T&T Auto Repair on the Friday before Memorial Day. I spoke with Jordan, who was friendly and professional, and assured me that they could take a look at the car first thing Tuesday morning, even though they would be really busy that day. True to his word, our car was the first thing they looked at—and right away, they discovered the problem: our cruise control was getting stuck under the throttle, holding the throttle open even when the cruise control was off. Jordan showed me what was happening and how to fix it, and didn’t charge me a dime. If we lived in Minnesota, T&T Auto Repair would be our regular mechanic!

Low prices, great advice, and never try to talk me into unnecessary repairs. They always tell me what is the best course of action with expertise, in a way I understand. Repairs done with experience and integrity.

These guys fixed a problem that many dodge dealerships were unable to diagnose. They also recently replaced my rotors and break pads for cheap. You don’t have to worry about them ripping off women, like I’ve experienced before at other shops. I’ll only be going here for now on.

I had a great experience at T&T Auto Repair. Price was very reasonable, staff was friendly, and they did a nice job.

This place knows what they are doing and have some great competitive prices; however, they are unprofessional and rude. This was previously my go-to mechanic because they were honest and repaired my car in reasonable amounts of time. Now, I will be taking my vehicle somewhere else because I cannot do it with this place anymore.1) They gave me the wrong key to my car on multiple occasions.2) They refuse to give me a breakdown of their labor and part costs. Every time I call and tell them what needs to be fixed, they say, Okay, itll be xxx amount of dollars. One time I got the same thing done twice and they charged me more the second time. When I asked about it, they said, Oh, I dont know what the other guy at our shop did, but thats not what I charge.3) One of the mechanics (Ruben) gives me an attitude, every single time.4) They are inconsistent and do not follow directions. I told them to look at something for me and call me to let me know how much it would be to fix and instead they called me and said, We repaired it for you. Itll be xxx amount of dollars. - THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES and each time the repairs were between $300 - $700! Although, still cheaper than any other mechanic, but I did not have the money at those times!I think this would be a good place to go if you need one repair done and know how much it would roughly cost. Otherwise, this place needs more organization.

Doesnt answer, never open. Skip if you can, with the city being as big as it is there are far better places to go to.

Review №13

Truly a helpful and honest place. They were able to do a patch repair on my car that would have cost many times more to get repaired at the dealership that I had gone to initially. They were also very informative about what exactly was wrong with my car, what the dealership had misinformed me about, and what exactly the repair was that they were going to do, and also what they couldnt repair (that over time, I really might just have to get parts replaced at a dealership). Overall I am extremely happy with how my car has run since they worked on it and feel like I have been given good information for any future work needed on my car.

I had my car dropped off here a week ago after an accident. Since then, theyve been unresponsive to all but one phone call, and there are no alternative means of contact available. My insurance company cant get ahold of them either. Ive got calendar reminders set up so that Ill remember to call them 3 times a day and hope someone picks up.I can only assume theyre understaffed and have made massive cuts to their active hours, but theres no way to know for sure whats going on.Communication is important! If you need your car looked at and dont want to wait a month for them to contact you, take your business elsewhere. Very dissatisfied.

Tran and T&T have been doing great by me for years. I lived down the block for 6 years, and they are the best deal around. Friendly, and they have the most low cost labor anywhere. Just be patient with the communication (English is not his first language), and be very clear about what you want, and ask questions. They always look at the car first for no charge, then give you a flat fee estimate for the work BEFORE they do it. He lets you bring your own parts if you want, and doesnt overcharge if he supplies parts either.

Great experience. We called T&T this morning, and the owner asked if we could come in today. He took a look at our car, thought we needed new spark plugs, and gave us an estimate that was very fair. A couple of hours later, our car was done and the estimate was right. He even showed us what the old spark plugs looked like and gave a helpful explanation of the issue. Highly recommend this place!

I had a late night engine issue, was able to drop my car off in the morning before they opened. They not only looked for the cheapest alternative, they stayed past their 5pm closing time to finish my car so I could pick it up after work the same day. Really appreciate the help!

These guys are awesome!!! Ive been here 3 times in the past 2 years. The price is always fair, the work is always great. They are my new go-to shop forever. My catalytic converter fell off; I couldnt believe it when they called me 2 hours later and it was repaired. I thought she was staying the night for sure. They even taped up my exhaust pipe (something Id been meaning to do to hold off on replacement). I know where Im taking her to have that installed when the time inevitably comes. Thanks guys!

Im so lucky to live just a half a block from the best auto shop in the Twin Cities! Pete at T & T Auto will always give you a fair price and will never sell you services you dont need. One time when my car wouldnt start last winter, he and one of his employees PUSHED it the half block to his shop to save me the cost of a tow! Hes honest, fair and values his regular customers. You wont be disappointed!

It took them 3 whole weeks to fix my car when they promised 1 week at the most. I took a cab to work for 3 weeks after being promised of fast efficient service. I am not doing this again T&T! Not after getting excuses here and there. Crappy service!

Great guy, does good work at an affordable price. It helps if you know what you want. My only issue is that they were not able to properly balance my tires, had to go elsewhere to have it done properly.

Review №27

Wow, I cannot tell you how grateful I am to T&T for the work he completed on my car. The part he could order was going to be extremely expensive and not fully needed, so he fixed the root of the problem himself. I am impressed at the customer service and overall care he takes with his work. Thank you, thank you! I will come back to T&T for any and every car I own.

I have been bringing my cars over to T & T for the last 5-6 years now. Peter is friendly, honest, and he always gives me the best and most cost effective options to fix my cars. He has worked on suspensions, transmission, engines, brakes, ball joints, and driveline, for me. I will continue to bring my cars to T & T for maintenance and repair and highly recommend this place for car owners seeking quality and affordable services.

I called up T & T Auto on a Thursday, and was able to get my car in the next morning at 9. I had a check engine light on, and the car seemed to be making some weird noises, but when they checked they found nothing wrong with the car other than the noises being from normal wear and tear. They finished the inspection in 1.5 hours, and didnt even charge for it. I dont imagine thats the norm, but I will absolutely come back here in the future because I really respect a company that does the right thing (i.e. didnt feel like they did enough work to warrant a charge). Great people, great service. Go here. Go here now (pending car issues of course).

Review №31

I went here purely by chance because my car was in such bad shape that I couldnt get it any further. The staff saw me right away, told me what was wrong with my vehicle, and while the damage to my engine was too much for them to fix onsite (my vehicle was under warranty so I had to get it to a dealership), they got it running well enough for me to park it someplace safe. And despite my offering several times, they wouldnt accept any money for this service. I really didnt think there were any locally owned businesses that cared about customer service like this left. I will definitely be taking my vehicle here for regular oil changes from here on out. I am happy that this business is a part of my community!Update: After taking my car to the dealership for the big repairs, I was told that without the minor repairs performed by T & T Auto Repair (which, again, they did for free), my car would not have been covered by warranty and I wouldve been out around six thousand dollars. I cant thank T & T enough!

Drive shaft broke on the way to work -- searched google for reputable mechanics and T &T Auto repair popped up.They were able to do it same day -- called prior and ran the cost by me and when I showed up to pay it was spot on. i dont plan on using another mechanic, outstanding professionalism and service.

I had made an appointment to have my Buick looked at when the heat went out. So I went in a dropped it off, the mechanic working was not expecting me and did not seem to have much time or pateince. I told him I was fine to drop it off and he could call me in a few hours after he took a look. 3 hours later I hadnt heard anything, attempted to call no one answered. So I decided to walk down to see what was going on. I get there and it looks closed. Nobodys there and theres a deadbolt on the door. Normally I would not have been upset to find out they needed to keep it overnight but the thing is, nobody said a damn word to me about that. Working 2 jobs and moving I needed means of transportation. So I called the owner to come give me my car back. Since he wasnt present when they started ripping apart my dashboard he had no idea what was wrong with it. He could only tell me, my fuses were burning up. (K thanks). I got it back, luckily, and took it somewhere else. Where they had to basically reassemble my car and fixed the heat problem in less than a day. Im just not sure how communication isnt a priority here. I was told nothing. And drove off in worse shape than I started. The only reason it doesnt get 1 star is because the owner of this business is a really nice guy. And I could tell, he was just as frustrated as I was that no information was given to me before the mechanics went home for the day. My advice, this business needs some tlc. Business hours would be nice, and if someone has an appointment they should always be expected. Wont be returning.

From now on I will take my car nowhere else except T and T Auto! They are great there. They will look at your car (no cost), give you a price right there on how much it will be (and it wont change!), there is no upselling or trying to sell you crap you dont need and the car will be ready when he says it will be ready. Pete does great work and I have not had a bad experience there yet. I am only going to recommend T and T Auto to my friends and to finish it off his prices are better than any other shop I have found. I am sooooo glad I found this shop! Thanks for the great work!

Review №38

It hard to find words to describe how awful this place is. My first time going to t&t the mechanic barely looked at my car and said I needed 4 new coils. He quoted me a ridiculous price but said if I ordered my own coils online he would install them for $100. I ordered a pack of 6 coils. When I came to get my car after he installed them he didn’t have the extra two coils I bought but did replace the 4 (so he just took 2 for himself.) I was driving out of the parking lot when I immediently heard the sound that brought me into the shop in the first place. He admitted to me that he didn’t test drive it after “fixing” it. So I obviously couldn’t take my car with me. He said to bring it back on Friday (it was Wednesday) I drove it out there Friday and he said is “guy” called in sick so he wouldn’t have time. I made an appointment for the following Wednesday. Brought my car in and waited. Didn’t hear from them Thursday. Called Friday morning and he said to me “oh, I’ll take a look and call you back in an hour.” He has it for nearly two days and NEVER looked my car until I called. He calls me back 30 mins later and honest to god said “yeah I’m not sure what’s wrong.” And waited for me to say something. I eventually was like “so what do I do then?” He said he needed more time to look at it and told me to bring it back next week. So we are on week three. I’m angry but this shop is so close to my place and I can’t drive my car far. I bring my car back on Wednesday (the day I scheduled my appointment for.) and again I call Friday to see when I can pick it up and he gets kind of mad at me and tells me he’ll look at it when he can and that he is very busy. I kinda lost it. It has been three weeks of him jerking me around and I made appointments and he just was ignoring me. He finally called back at the end of the day Friday saying AGAIN that his “guy” didn’t come in but that he looked at my car and it could be one of a few things (still didn’t know) but that it would be expensive to fix so I should just get a new car and that driving it right now would be dangerous. I have no idea how someone who doesn’t know what’s wrong with the car can confidently say to get a new car. I was furious. I brought it into another shop, Murgics in Rosemount.They figured out the problem in a hour, took it overnight and by the next day I had my car back, good as new. It was an expensive fix $600. But it runs great and it was never “dangerous” to drive like the guy at t&t said. My mechanic at Mugics said that my car could have several years of life left. I can’t beleibe how incompetent these guys at t&t are. Huge time waster & the new mechanic said my coils never needed to be changed anyways. So unprofessional. I would NEVER recommend them. The guy who worked on my car wasn’t Pete but I never did get his name.
