This is the nicest group of guys, and I never have a problem after Ive seen them for things. The owner is so nice and always up for a chat, the mechanics really know their stuff, and its not obscenely priced. Such good value, such good people, and not a dingy place. My husband and I love bringing our cars here. Absolutely recommend.
I was there needing small auto repair. The fellow that helped me was good. The owner offered me the repair even though he was booked he put me in for a couple hours later. However his tech was injured .. I hope he is better as I understand that it was a bad accident with chemicals my heart goes out to him and his family and I hope hes doing well but I really do appreciate them to put me on a schedule that was so full I would use them again and refer people to them..
Great service, great prices, honest and straight forward. I honestly couldnt say enough about this place! The fact that I live 3 blocks away only makes me more inclined to go here
We were heading to Unity hospital to do our meals on wheels delivery route when our car started making a terrible grinding noise. Our contact at the hospital recommended we go down the street to this place, where she gets all her car repairs done. Roger was able to get us in right away and even gave us a loaner for the few hours it took to get the brakes fixed. Now were all fixed up with a warranty and all. We feel very lucky to have found this place!
They are the best. Ill take my truck there any time for repair.
I recently had my vehicle serviced at Fridley Minnoco. The Owner and his employees are excellent. Will be recommending this place to everyone I know!#EXCELLENT
The staff at Fridley Minnoco and the owner are LEGIT! I would definitely bring my car here again. Thanks! Lizzy
Today I just got my Chevrolet Trailblazer ( my baby ) lol Fixed up today. to be honest, it runs like when I first bought the car! it runs amazing again it runs smoother brakes are smoother I like to thank, Mike Shofner & his crew. for the amazing job that was done on my Trailblazer. he also put in new things on it as he went by & luckily found some broken pieces & added some new ones. I appreciate for the lookout on that. I recommend everyone to hang out here & get your car up & running in better shape. good prices & good deals. again thanks mike & your team! Glad to have my baby back in shape. for more adventures along my way.- JG - 09/05/2017
They honored a warranty on brakes that was a couple of thousand miles over. (The warranty was for 24,000 miles.). Thanks!!
Employees refuse to wear masks or socially distance. These people are the reason we’re not back to normal yet.Update (from Minnoco’s FB account):“Hi Ryan, Thank you for letting us know on this. Minnoco is looking into this opportunity and will address with independent owner ASAP.”(Switched from one star to two as soon as I received a response, which was the next day.)Update: Back to one star as I have not heard back again.
Loved the friendly service! Full oil change and 33-point safety check all for under $35. Great deal!
Great customer service and knowlegable mechanics. A bit spendy though.
They are taking good care of my car for the past 4 years. trusteworthy and not pushy and good price
Over priced. Unhappy with work done had a fuel pump put in and it was leaking gas when I picked it up...mike the owner is to concerned on building his mud truck wouldnt recommend this place to anyone...period!!!!
Great service, friendly staff & the price is right!
Mike and the crew always get me fixed up. Fixed up right!!! Their rates are competitive and Mike has been there done that when it comes to cars...
These folks are awesome with car care and repair!
Minnoco was quite accommodating with a last minute appointment for brake diagnosis. Quickly diagnosed the situation a different business could not. The other business charged me about $80 to clean some brake components, but that was not the problem. (I could have just flushed the money for all the good it did at the other business.)A nice & pleasant bonus, seriously; Their vehicle inspection was detailed enough that Minnoco found the serpentine belt to be cracked & needed to be replaced.I made an appointment for the brake work to be performed, serpentine belt replaced. One component was not in stock but would be the following morning. Minnoco suggested I leave my car over night & they would complete work the following morning. I was offered a courtesy car to take home for the night. At first I said I could walk, as I live close by. But they pretty much insisted, kindly, I take the courtesy car, so I did.Work was completed on time the next morning. Brakes feel great, are quiet & work perfectly.Thanks to everyone @ Minnoco - Fridley, Mn.
Everyone was great and very friendly. It was my first time here and Mike was helpful and communicative about my vehicle. Very fair pricing too. Will definitely come here again. Thank you to the Minnoco crew!
This place is great! One thing I noticed is the owner himself and all the mechanics will drop you off at home then work on the car call you when its done and pick you up. They also have. A few loaner cars for extended service. That is awesome to me and great American service!! A complementary fresh pot of coffee if you decide to stay and wait!! Great staff!! All the guys have good costumer service, smiles, can help with anything. Complementary top grade car wash for automotive service ..Affordable prices and great communication about whats going to be done and what needs to be done. Not just fixing something and adding it to the bill with a slap in the face price...They make sure you know what is going on at all times! Check them out you will not be disappointed.
Great bunch of mechanics always very fair with pricing the owner Mike is upfront and honest unlike many other auto repair shops in the area! If you’ve had some bad experiences with work performed at this place in the past, I would highly recommend going back and giving them a chance as Mike has really turned this place around!!
I am a regular customer and I do very well trust these guys. I have ZERO knowledge about vehicles. I have been charged an arm and a leg from another auto service who claimed to be honest for something that shouldnt have been replaced 2 years ago. Mike and Bruce are very upfront with everything and with explanation thats very easy to understand. Thank you guys!
Great service! Honest, dependable - highly recommend
Great Service, Fair Prices, Not Pressured, Great Customer Service,I met Mike the owner about three years ago, he has always treated me honestly and fairly. I have a 2004 Jeep runs great with a few small problems. The last one was electrical, heater blower relay not working.Mike found the problem and fixed it. Great Staff, everyone wants to help and do a great job. I Highly Recommend Mike and the Staff at Fridley Minnoco, Five stars plus for the past three years!!
Beautiful facility and top notch customer service! Mike and his team told me exactly what was going on with my car, what things that needed to be fixed and what things could wait! Recommend to anyone looking for service!
They are fair and definitely very good mechanics that do thei best and do the repairs quickly. Nice neighborhood shop
Excellent repair shop. Friendly, professional staff who do not pressure you after an inspection. I trust these guys, as theyve been completely honest.
Excellent service! It is very apparent that the owner, Mike, strives for excellence in the repairs to my vehicles and is honest about those repairs. It is hard to find a repair shop that I can trust these days, so when I do, I feel very compelled to share it. I felt right at home the minute I walked in the door and I dont think Ill be going anywhere else! The prices are right and the work has been done efficiently. If you are having a hard time finding an honest shop like I have been, give Mike a chance. I think youll be very satisfied! Five stars for always having a five star experience!!!Thank you Mike!
Called this morning needing my daughters car looked at because the check engine light came on. I was able to bring it in right away & get it looked at. Mike was very nice. Went over everything with me. Suggested a few other things that need to be done & prioritized them for us. We did the first 2 things that needed to be done right away & my daughter will do the other 2 things in a few months when she has the money. I was pleasantly surprised by this shop. We will continue to have our services done here.
I am always nervous about bringing our vehicles to new shops, but followed all the great reviews online and am sure glad I did.I brought my wifes Mercury Milan in for a brake inspection last week and appreciated that Mike showed me a few other problems we werent aware of (leaky water pump and loose tie rod). These are things I would never notice that could end up with an untimely tow bill.The guys at Fridley Minnoco Auto Repair were honest & thorough and able to get the work completed quickly. I also noticed and appreciate the quality of the parts they install, including painted rotors that wont rust and look awful.I will absolutely return and highly recommend Fridley Minnoco to others in the area who are looking for fast, friendly, and affordable auto repair.
If your looking for a place where the owner works his shop, his employees like working for him and he knows his trade very well, this is the place. As of today I wont go anywhere else. Im a tradesman and I can tell when the work is done right at a reasonable price. I also like the fact that its a co-op. You judge for yourself. Great place.
We have been very pleased with the service. We recently needed work done on 3 different vehicles. Mike is very good about explaining what needs to be repaired and why. It is apparent he and his staff take pride in doing the work the right way-not just a patch job. Everyone is pleasant and the repairs are done in a timely manner. His quotes are accurate. Thanks!!!
This place is amazing! The mechanics and owner are the best around. The knowledge of mechanics is somewhat an art and they have it mastered. It is an important part of life to have people and businesses that you can trust and depend on. Thank you Fridley Minnoco for being that for my entire family!
My friend and business partner told me about this shop after watching me deal with another shop for almost a year. I was dealing with not having my car for weeks at a time only to have to bring it back in time after time and I was to my boiling point with the PREVIOUS shop I was going to. It is always a scary situation when trying a new shop especially after all the disappointment I had been dealing with. I trusted my friend so I made to jump to try Minnoco Fridley. From the first phone call to Mike I felt that they heard my concerns and were honest with what they could do. I dropped my Cadillac SRX off and Mike took me for the test drive to see what was all going on. From the time forward I was happy that they would call me every time they uncovered something no hiding anything and they really took care of me. I felt like I knew Collin personally based on the calls we would have and they one on one attention he gave to me. I have my car back now and I finally feel like it is a new car! It’s been over a year since my car has run this good! Thank You to Mike Collin and the entire Team! You Guys Rock!! Tracy Webb
Mike is a great mechanic and even better guy. His garage was top notch! Mike went above and beyond to make sure my Toyota Prius was well taken care off. I was very comfortable with the price he was quoting me. He gave me suggestions and his advice, but was in no way pushy what-so-ever. I will definitely go to Mike again. Thanks from Prius guy.
Great service from knowledgable service professionals. I recommend this to anyone!
I had a great experience with Mike and everyone at Fridley Minnoco. I had no oil pressure on my jeep. Mike found a way to get my jeep in and get it take care of. Thanks for getting to me right away. I would highly recommend Fridley Minnoco and everyone there.
I had one of the best experiences ever with the team from Minnoco auto repair.I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and fast work the team did on my car. It was my first visit and I am planning to go back for the repairs the cars needs at their suggestion. Very good price, kind workers, and outstanding results. They offer a lot for the price we pay!
I heard about this place through a friend; although it is almost 40min from my place I still come here for all my car services.I appreciate that they are straightforward when telling me about my car. I have not felt that I am being sold something that I dont need; however, they do notify me of such things for future reference.I am pleased that I got referred to this place and would recommend it to anyone.Thank you, Fridley Minnoco, for your hard work.
Ive known Mike for nearly 30 years. He is a great mechanic who you can trust. Hell never over-sell you to try and make a buck. He uses quality parts and is 100% transparent. I highly recommend Fridley Minnoco for all your car needs.
I brought in my 2010 Buick Enclave with power steering issues. Other mechanics wanted me to replace the entire rack and pinion. Mike was able to diagnose the problem and he found out that the part that was defective was recalled. He saved me a thousand dollars! Thank you very much Mike. You have a customer for life!-Wayne
My mother-in-law has been going here for years, maybe decades, I dare not ask. She says that it still continues great service with affordable answers.
Very nice and friendly people. Best customer services. Gets the job done in a timely fashion. Good pricing.
We were referred to Mikes business from a good friend and he has continually given us great service! Their prices are competitive and they give thorough and speedy service! Weve been back many times with business and personal vehicles and will continue! Wed recommend them to anyone in need of a fair mechanic!
Super fast service and great communication. The dealership I was working with at first was over charging me and missed the main issue the first time I brought it in. I went to Fridley Minnoco for a second opinion and they were able to do it at a fraction of the cost plus I got a loaner truck while they installed my engine and did my brakes. Super fast service and I will now be bringing my truck to them only. Thank you
Ive gone to my fair share of different mechanics over the years, and no one compares to the customer service and work done at the Fridley Minnoco. Mike has always been very realistic with my girlfriend and I when anything is wrong with our cars. He will even take us and show us what is wrong. I have never once felt as if I was getting the wool pulled over my eyes. He has always been very helpful when trying to work around our crazy work schedules too.
Got me in right away, Great expertise, they have no issues educating you on issues that could arise based current vehicle health. They recommend without being pushy. So great shop, gooder guys.
Very helpful. Reasonable rates. Figured out the issue with my fluid sensor really quickly!
I brought my truck in here today for an oil change and the tech pointed out something that needed to be addressed. Very good people and fair pricing. I highly recommend this place!
All star service and great pricing. I ended up having a lot of work done and the timing was great and the quality seems top notch. I will continue to work with Mike for my service needs.
Mike is the smartest mechanic Ive met. He definitely knows his stuff. Everyone on his team is fantastic. I wouldnt recommend anyone else. Period.
Mike explained everything thoroughly and broke down for me what work was most important and what I could have done later. The work was done quickly and the shop has surprisingly late hours. Ill be recommending this place to friends and family.
Recently had my Chevy k1500 at Fridley Minnoco for a complete engine swap due to low compression. Mike and his team were not only able to complete the repair quickly and efficiently, they genuinely care for their customers as well. They gave me updates throughout the whole process, and even brought me back in the shop to show me what was going on with the truck and what needed/didnt need to be done. Highly recommend.
Went in on weds night gas was 40+, cents cheaper. Never saw this station so busy 2 & 3 cars in line for each pump.L casher was very pleasant even had a sense of humour about how busy it was.She got me out quickly, I waited longer to get to pump.I ll be back
Great place to have your car fixed and great mechanics that know how to fix cars!!!!
Great service. The owner was the one to help us. He took the time to explain and show us what was wrong with the car. Fair price. We were not there too long. Very friendly. We will keep bringing our vehicles there for any other issues we have.
This place is incredible!! Theyre fast, reliable and they know their stuff. I drive around town for work and I can only trust my car to the best.
Stop in and ask for Mike. I strongly reccomend Fridley Minnoco. This shop is a no hassle or bait and switch shop. He tells you the price and thats what it is. He talks to you about all of the options and explains what work will be done. Dont waste your time anywhere else just hop in the car or have your car towed in to Fridley Mnnoco for all your mechanical needs.
Great service, Mike and associates converted my old truck to power steering. Works great, couldn;t recommend them higher, not afraid of a offbeat project. Good prices and timely work. Steven
This place is one of the best workshops ever have dealt in my life...outstanding customer service and so professional mechanics. I came to that place one time and became regular customer since then.
My go-to for automotive work. Very kind and patient employees, I have never felt pressured into doing a same day repair as many other shops have. A nice bonus is a free car wash with an oil change!
Ive brought my truck there twice for service, both times it was a very good experience, everyone is very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend Mike and his crew for any repairs you need. And they have loaner vehicles. Thank you guys for good honest service.
Excellent service and great prices for both routine maintenance and repairs . I have had work done several times and they always got me on the schedule quickly, work was always done by the promised time or before . Owner Mike is great to work with - professional - never pushy, answered all my questions and showed me the needed repair before I even thought to ask . Both shop and store employees always nice and friendly.
My experience with this shop is nothing short of great! Everything they said they would get done, they did! They were very responsive, professional, and instilled nothing but confidence every time I talked to them. My car runs better than every after Minnoco replaced my Transmission. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
New owner Mike is fabulous! Reasonable prices and great customer service. Mike knows everything about your car!!
Ive been here afew times and am always satisfied! Mike and his crew go above and beyond what any other place will! I will be going here for all my car repairs with all of our vehicles. They put my mind at ease and provide a loaner car. Thanks Fridley Minnoco you guys rock!!!
I had a great experience with the staff here. Very knowledgeable and honest. I recommend them to anyone needing car repairs!
Very bad and dishonest service, the owner was trying to charge me for a transmission flush but i went to a different mechanic and they told me my car has a cvt transmission that it does not require a transmission flush, he lied that i need to do my full synthetic oil change every 5000 miles, he also said i need to replace my upper radiator hose when nothing was wrong with it. my other mechanic said my car is in good condition and does not need any of those things this Scam was trying to charge me for. Stay away from him people!!!
They repaired my car with much perfection. Again, the prices are so much affordable!
Mike Shofner and his crew are the best. Fast, convenient, and friendly. Reasonable rates as well. Good location, easy to get to no matter where you are in the metro area.
I drive a 2007 suburban that recently needed the front end repaired. I got honest service from a team I can trust. My truck drives great! Thank You Fridley Minnoco!!
This place has helped me alot with all the cars i had. Always been fair with prices and very honest. I recommend this place for auto repairs.
I thought I would try this place cause I got a flyer in the mail, I was actually pretty impressed with the service. I feel like they took good care of me
We use them for repairing all of our work trucks. Very quick turnaround. I recommend them for any automotive repair!
Mike worked hard and helped me with me issues with my car and was patient with the warranty company and kept me updated with all concerns and any other issues! I would definitely recommend his shop. Thanks again Mike and your crew
Had to respond to the guy with the change. I was behind you in line you made more like a $10 purchase all in nickels & dimes. I had to wait while clerk older blondish hair counted it. I was annoyed since all I wanted to do us pay for my gas.I go in all the time and I find her pleasant professional & efficient.I was just in for gas last night & it was crazy busy because gas was 50 cents cheaper than everyone else. She had a line of 8 people which is the most I have seen at one time. She was pleasant calm & efficient
Not a bad place they did mess up one my service there with a faulty part but ended up repairing it with no cost. But they really didnt put the dash board back properly so it kinda hung there til I had time to fix it my self. 3.5 stars if possible
Fantastic service!!! Really impressed! I was in and out the same day.
Great Service, Price and Customer Service. Totally recommended!
Went in to buy a brisk iced tea that cost $1.06. I gave the lady behind the counter (40 ish with longer blond/brown hair) $1.10 in nickles. She gives me an annoyed sigh like i just plopped down 5 bucks in pennies and then preceded to tell me she wont except it next time. I said you wont except A DOLLAR in nickles? Her reply was Doug down the street at SA wont except it....just dripping with attitude when she spoke. I know Doug, Ive worked with Doug. Doug excepts all payments in change that arent excessive and dont back up lines.
Quick service, great prices. I recommend these guys to anyone looking for a honest mechanic
Great Service. Great Crew. Fast Turnaround. Honest. Fair Prices.
Great service, honest people! Mike was very easy to deal with. Awesome owner.
Very friendly and helpful! Got me in right away the first time with no appointment. My wheel was falling off. When checking the other tires they found they were only torqued to 20# instead of 100#. Got me back on the road quickly with new wheel studs and correctly torqued lugnuts.Have brought two of my and my brother’s cars in since March. Always apply current coupon even when I wasn’t aware there was one. They explain everything and even draw pictures or show you what was wrong.They did an inspection for a used car I was considering buying and determined it was a good car but needed some work. They gave me separate estimates so I could lower my offer. Cost me 3x’s as much for the same inspection on a different car at another shop.Enjoy that the owner is working alongside his employees. When I call, I get quick appts and answers to my questions. Prompt callbacks when they don’t have an immediate answer.This will be my shop forever and I have already told family and friends about the great service. Thank you Mike and staff!
Knowledgeable, efficient, wonderful staff and I recommend them to anyone.I trust them with all my auto repairs.
Great and fast service, friendly staff and I got a free deluxe car wash with my oil change! I will continue to go here for my serviceneeds! Thanks Mike :)
My experience at fridley minnoco was excellent. Fast service, friendly advice, very professional. Would highly recommend this shop for all of your automotive service needs!
You need car repairs? Go see Mike. Great work, friendly service. Mike will be the only Mechanic working on my vehicles for now on. :)
Theyre the best, never let me down, thanks guys!
I had a great experience here! I recommend Fridley minnoco to anyone who needs there vehicle fixed.
Ive always had great service with mike the owner ive been going to mike for 25yrs hes honest and very reasonably priced. also has great techs that work for him.
Met Mike about 6 years ago at a shop he was working at and have been a customer ever since. His honesty, superior knowledge and the ability to explain what needs to be done in laymans. terms is why I take all my vehicles to Mikes new shop at Fridley Minnco and to top it off hes a darn good bloke....Highly recommend. Thanks mate.
Honest straight up guys. The work is well done fast and they are always ready to help.
Great service, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Definitely will be back!
Go see Mike a Great Guy to Deal With !
I had a tune up done on my truck it was done on time and I was called when they finished .great service mike was very professional over the phone and in person
Fast service. My problem was thoroughly explained. Would definitely return.
Great place to bring your car into.. always reliable with great costumer service
Wow. That is all I have to say about my experience here.I drive a 2010 Silverado with 150,000 miles and Saturday I had a problem. I was driving down 10 and my truck died. I didnt want to pay a fortune for a tow as my mechanic is way out west of town and the tow truck driver told me that he would take me to minnoco and they would help me out. I was sceptical as most people are about the typical auto shop mentality of seeing how much money they can get from you. However at this shop that was not the case. They explained to me that my alternator died and it was no big deal to have me back on the road in no time. They also told me that my lower ball joints where quite bad as well. Then they took me in the shop to show me the difference between a good one and mine. I was so very impressed that they would do this even though they knew I was going to take it back to my regular mechanic.I dont normally write reviews for stuff but so many shops get a bad name and this shop deserves a very good one. Definitely take your car here if you live anywhere near it!
