Solid service and reasonable price for fixing my exhaust system coming undone on Hwy 169 driving down from Duluth. I needed to be in Mankato for a family emergency which was stressful enough; Ron and crew fixed my muffler quickly and professionally so I could focus on family instead of wondering how me and my dog were going to get home. Thanks guys. And my dog thanks you for the hospitality, as well.
I love this shop. Great up beat attitudes and a good ambiance overall. Ill go to my dealer when I feel its necessary but for routine work I dont hesitate to go here, save money, and get the Mayberry RFD expierence along with great workmanship.
Will not being back. I took my new vehicle here today for a wheel alignment and was told they couldnt do it due to all these problems. Said I needed to get my ball joints fixed immediately and said it would cost over $1,500!!! Its not a long process, and its a tiny piece I can buy for 20-100 bucks for brand new joints. And pay someone way cheater to fix it. I have someone fixing it for me for 300 tomorrow, and all I can say is that I will never come back for any services. Outrageous prices and took far longer than it should have for doing just the inspection.
Great. First time customer. Ron explained what was needed. Gave me a loaner car so I could get things done.The work was done on time.
Ron was awesome, needed a heat blower for my car before the cold winter came out. Dropped it off before class and he waited for me 20 min past close (when my class ended) to get me my car. Price was very reasonable and actually cheaper than the quote. Had a conversation as well with him for about 10 minutes when dropping my car off to get fixed, loves what he does and is very good at it! Will be back again.
Knowledgeable staff, diagnosed the cause of my Ford Tempos problem (fuel pump), allowing me confidence a replacement would solve the issue. They assist with setting up towing, and even finished my repair the same day!
100% recommend, 100% would return. Best car service ever received
Horrible. I brought my head in to have the injector seals replaced. I had my head there for 10 WEEKS. I was told excuses after excuses... the seals just weren’t coming in said they ordered them and then after 8 weeks tried another company... guess what? Same excuse. I was told 6 dates it would ”definitely” be done. Eventually I had to just take it home and do it myself. Ron’s auto was the only shop who said they could replace the seals which would have saved me the expensive of the pricey tool to apply the seals. HORRIBLE customer service, received no service. This job ended up taking 10 minutes to do I might add (that is after the tool was bought).
Easy to make appointment, he works with your schedule. Fair price. Work is done right. Been going to Rons with my vehicles for 15 years.
Great service and value. Ron got me back on the road to save a family vacation overnight! Very reasonable prices and shows care for his customers.
Highly recommended. Ron was great to work with. Very friendly, nice guy and the service was done quickly and was affordable. Will definitely be going back there for more business. Thanks again, Ron.
Ive gone to Rons Auto Repair for my oil changes and routine car repairs over the past year and half. During this time, Ive been very impressed with Rons team. Theyve always done a great job with my car and have reasonable prices. What I truly appreciate most is how they speak to me about my car. They never try to make me feel dumb or tell me what to do. They explain the situation in plain English and help me understand whats the best option for me. Id highly recommend them!
My mechanic retired and I did not know where to go to have my air conditioning repaired. I was very impressed with the friendly staff, quality of repair and reasonable pricing. I believe I have found my new mechanic.
Great place with great people!JP was awesome and very helpful. All staff is caring, wants to help, and make sure you understand your vehicle and what is happening. They fixed my air conditioning in a timely manor. Definitely going back if future car issues occur.
Great experience with Ron and his staff. They got me in and out quickly and definitely would recommend and return.
I needed my truck fixed immediately. Ron got it done! Loaned me a car to take care of som6 business while hes crew worked on it. Was done right the first time. What I like is he stands behind his work. No problems! You rock Ron!
PostingI took my vehicle in to Ron because my vehicle started to make a loud, obnoxious noise every time I started it. It would then make a loud fan noise and squeal when I pressed on the accelerator. When I took it into Ron he informed me that the issue was the water pump and that this would fix the issue I brought it in for. I told him to go ahead a fix it then if this would fix the noise. When I went to pick it up the next day, I paid the bill and jumped into my vehicle. I instantly heard the obnoxious noise when I started up my vehicle. Confused because this issue was suppose to be fixed, I went back inside to let Ron know. He took it back inside the shop and said he had made a mistake and missed the cracked manifold as the issue. I was upset because I had just spent a pretty penny to get this problem fixed the first time and it didnt even get fixed and he told me that I had to fork out the same amount I just spent to get the issue resolved. After disputing for a while he agreed to fix the problem, but told me I had to pay for the part. I agreed to this and asked how much the part was going to be. He told me $300, so I said I would look into this and get back to me and he said okay. After looking into the part at NAPA, they informed me the part would only cost me $160 to fix. Upset that Ron was trying to bump up the price, I called him. I have called him for three days now leaving messages and he still has yet to call me back. I believe this is very unprofessional. I believe in small businesses and paying for quality work, but the fact it was his professional opinion that told me the issue would have been fixed the first time around and wasnt made me feel like he was trying to take advantage of me.
I bought a 1931 Model A in Mankato (I live in the St. Louis area) and had Ron do an inspection. I was a little concerned at first - local seller - local mechanic - but I was very pleased with the service. He was prompt and thorough in doing the inspection and communicating with me. After I got the car home, I had some questions and he was very helpful - even after he had been paid!!! I highly recommend Ron and his staff. Bob Hayes
Ron is the most straight forward, honest and capable mechanic I have ever seen!!!My exhaust line and muffler completely fell off. I brought it to multiple shops in the Mankato area who all gave me estimates to replace it that were absurdly high. Ron was willing to bend his own pipe, get the proper parts and do the same job for less than half what anyone else would. All within 1 day!! Ron is straight to the point and efficient. He does the work you need, does it well, and wont try to gut you for as much money as possible. Would recommend!!
Ron and his crew have your best interests in mind. They are there to help their customers fix what needs to be fixed for the vehicle and your family to be safe. They dont push unwanted or unneeded repairs if they can wait.I highly recommend Rons Auto Repair for all of your service needs!
I have been a recurring customer at Rons Auto repair, and they have been nothing but amazing to me. I dont know much about car and they always take the time to explain to me what is wrong with my car, how they are planning to fix, and how much it will cost before doing anything. They are very patient with customers and amazing at customer service overall. They always look for what is actually wrong with your car instead of just fixing the symptoms of a deeper issue. They are the typical small auto repair shop who would never screw you over and always look for your best interests. I would recommend this auto repair shop to anyone who is looking for honest, good, and exceptionally nice service. Definitely 5 stars!
Very thorough... I was sent here by my boss. Very easy going yet highly professional. I knew I had extensive repairs that needed to be made and it reflected in my overall bill. To say the least I will continue to bring my vehicle there...
Did not stand behind his quote. I received the same quote from 3 mechanics in the area. I chose the little guy cause I try to support small businesses. My bill was 1/3 higher than quoted. (600 was quote, 900 was bill) Aparantly I paid for him to learn that it takes him longer to do the work because there were factors he didnt know. Good for the next guy that needs to get the same work done. IF YOU QUOTE A PRICE, STAND BY IT.... OTHERWISE, WHAT GOOD IS A QUOTE?
Very happy with a recent car repair. Customer service was prompt and excellent. Prices reasonable. Ill be going here in the future for other repairs.
The owner Ron will probably help at some point during your repairs. I was new in town looking for a solid mechanic, and I took a chance in Rons. I would feel comfortable bringing my car back in, and recommend others do the same.
Ron and his Staff have taken care of two our cars for the last two years. In that time we’ve received excellent service and sound advice, regarding both preventative maintenance and diagnostic repairs.You can trust Ron to take care of you10/3/18Ron continues to be a great shop
I would recommend Rons to any of my Mankato friends. I had to have a bunch of work done to my car. Not only did Ron get it done in one day. He gave me a loaner car so that I could still make it to work. This was really helpful as I am under 25, so I cant rent a car from a rental car company.
Worst place Ive gone had work done in my head and timing belt, took them forever to get the car back to me and when they did the first time it overheated and had to go back by a tow company, after that they said everything was good and I went to go get my car again drove it a few miles away to get gas turned it off to fuel up and it wouldnt start after I fueled up had to be jump started and then they told me that I would have to get a new battery the battery worked fine the first time I went to go pick it up when it overheated. But I was okay with buying a new battery if that meant my car was all done no problems but less then 300 miles the new timing belt they put in broke and wrecked my newly fixed head, they did fix it free of charge and put in a completely new head and timing belt, but again I got it back and it didnt seem right, after both times I got to take it home I took it to another mechanic and they found problems with how they connected and left some things disconnected like my turbo wasnt wired up right, they even found problems that they thought were safety concerns and recommend I get it done immediately but I didnt hear anything like that from rons, never will go back.
Super poor customer service and service turn around time! this shop held my car for over a month due to losing my original key and causing a security issue after putting the WRONG used car parts on my car from another car . everytime I called, was told excuses after excuses of a return call that I NEVER received in over a month! My car was even sent to another shop without my knowledge. At the end of it all, I wasn’t given any billing adjustment or help with transportation despite the advertisement (that appears to be false) on the company website. I wouldn’t recommend for car repairs as no ethical decisions will be made in your best interest in the event of them breaking your car.
Super nice got my truck in right away Fair prices did all the work in one day and I asked to be called about how much everything is gonna cost and he did that I would highly recommend Ron I really do appreciate it
Ron is an old school mechanic who knows the ins and outs of cars and hell always provide you a great deal thatll save you money. If he knows the job will take a while, his assistant will bring you home instead of making you sit and wait like the big shops will. Thats customer service. Ron is a mechanic you can trust.
Fast and friendly service. They stand behind their work. Great shop to deal with.Definitely a return customer.....👍
Rons Auto Repair is the place to go. Theyll tell you exactly what needs to be done and why it needs to be done. Theyre prices are reasonable and the service is unmatched. Friendliest auto repairmen Ive ever dealt with.
Always helpful and honest. I feel fortunate to have found these guys. I have used them for years and always have felt good after leaving knowing that they did things correct and at a fair price.
Great service & reasonable prices. Knowledgeable, skilled techs utilize state of the art equipment. I highly recommend Rons to friends & family!
Rons Auto provides excellent service every time I visit the shop. I have gotten my tires through them, oil changes, and anything else that comes up in the future. I would recommend their team to anyone who owns a vehicle!
Everyone is always super nice, friendly, polite, and most importantly, helpful. I know how to put gas in a tank and thats about it. They explain what they are doing and why which helps me to better understand my vehicle as well as feel comfortable with what is going on. Thanks guys :)
As a business owner, I have been going to Rons Auto Repair for 5 years to have them work on my vehicles. They have always been very helpful and responsive and because they know I need my vehicles for my business they always find away to get me in and out quickly so I can get back to work. The entire staff is helpful, friendly and courteous. I will continue to use Rons Auto Repair for my vehicle repairs and maintenance.
Great work honest people that know what they are doing.
Went to the competition and received a quote of $260 for a simple exhaust fix. Called Rons and went in the next day for a quote - they helped me right away with smiles and even fixed my car, on the spot, in 30 minutes! Did I mention it was only $72?!Great service from a great team, will certainly be returning.
This place does amazing work on cars or truck Rons a good man to work with
The people were nice and friendly but the service was disappointing.I took my car in for an overheating problem and it turned out to be a problem with the head gasket as I was told. The cost came out to be $1890 due to a number of different things they had to include with the repair (transmission cooler installation kit, cylinder head gasket set, timing component kit and water pump, spark plug, oil, oil filter, antifreeze, a/c belt, power steering belt, and shop supplies). The cost wasnt the problem.The two main problems with my experience there were:1) They left a bolt under the timing belt cover that eventually burnt (or was pushed out) through the cover, leaving a hole.2) The car started to sputter after the repair. Every time I reach 3,000+ rpm or so, this would happen. It makes it difficult to accelerate when entering a highway or even going up steep hills.I took the car back and told them about the problems and was basically told that the hole in the timing belt cover wouldnt be a problem and that the sputtering is a common issue for my car and for me to check to see if there were recalls for that problem.This was really disappointing because although my car wasnt overheating anymore, it now has a new problem - one that didnt exist before I took it in.I would not recommend this place for any major repairs. Maybe for an oil change or something minor.
Very impressed with the honest and straightforward approach. Only fixed what needed to be fixed and actually brought me back and showed me the problem and explained how he was going to fix it. I will be back for any future auto repairs.
I highly recommend anyone with car issues to take their vehicle to Rons Auto Repair of Mankato. They are friendly and will always tell you the truth. They do not try to nickle and dime you. They are very good about getting your vehicle in and getting you an answer in a timely manner.
Rob’s Auto is the best!!!! Their survive is way above and beyond...!!!!I highly recommend Rons Auto! They did a GREAT job with my car for affordable price! I am so thankful for their help!
I took my pick up to another shop for a leaking differential. After two attempts at getting it fixed, it still continued to leak. I brought my pick up here to Rons, and they figured out what was really wrong and fixed it right. Ive had no issues since. Will definitely come back if I need any other work done on it.
Ive been going to Rons for many years. Always have gotten in quickly and have been pleased with my routine oil changes etc. Theyre very good to explain any problems, give me options and theyre opinions. I trust them and theyre always polite and friendly.
Staff always does a good job of explaining what was fixed and any items that may need additional attention. Quick turn around time and appreciate their honesty.
Car wouldn’t start and I needed it fixed as soon as possible. Ron had it up and running the next morning while other shops said I’d have to wait a week. Checked online and the rate he gave me was extremely fair. Highly recommend Ron and his business.
Reasonable prices, quick service and friendly staff with a no BS approach. I would recommend Ron to anyone and would do business again.
Been having brake issues, called me and said he found a few things wrong not being able to afford to have him do it unfortunately he gave me a list of everything i needed to fix and while in the process of doing this everything he had told me was all very true! Very nice guy to chat with, will be doing business in near future for sureHonost people for sure
Great service. Nice, honest mechanic. Definitely will be coming back.
I have never had better customer service anywhere! Ron has gone above and beyond to help me out. He has done everything he can to keep my work vehicle on the road anytime I have a problem with it. Ron and his crew have even taken care of other small issues just to make sure it is safe.
Dealt with Rons a couple times now. Honest about repairs and kept me informed during each repair and gave me options. Not sure if they always do this but they even came and got my car for me and brought it back to me. Thats service!
Very professional, knowledgeable, and competitive prices. Definitely get more than you pay for at Rons.
Very polite, friendly, knowledgeable staff. I Recommend Rons Auto Repair to anyone having car issues. Only place ill take my vehicle anymore!

Fair prices, work done in a timely manner by an educated capable mechanic.
Ron is friendly and explains what he is doing. Very easy to work with!
My truck was in for 3 weeks and it still isnt right. 3 plug wires out of 8 were not connected, air cleaner was plugged, and truck is still throwing all kinds of codes after a $1,100 job on the computer replacement. I feel they held back all kinds of information I needed to know about it. For example O2 sensors were bad Cadillac converter was plugged.
Ive been working with Ron and his staff for about a year now with two high-mileage vehicles. Great service and thorough explanations of all that needs to be done.
This is my second year going to Rons and am very happy with their service.Professional service with a personal touch.Keep up the good job guys !
Ive been bringing my 4 used cars to Rons for about 2 years, and have never been disappointed with the service. Great guys to work with!
I got break lines fixed by them, great service and very polite
Great service! Very accommodating and helpful.
Bad experience here! Was unable to fix his mistake.
Always love coming to Rons Auto Repair! They do a full check up on my Jeep and make sure to let me know what repairs can wait and what actually needs to be done now!
Best place to go if you have any car issues!! As a young female I hate going to car mechanics but when I found Rons I knew I found the mechanic I plan to use any time I have any kind of vehicle issues or questions!
Great service, very knowledgeable, always explains the work done!
Great service and very nice people to deal with!
