These guys are great! We didn’t have an appointment but needed last minute help on our ‘do it yourself’ project on my wheel bearings. They were very accommodating and got us in and out to press the bearing. I would recommend them and drive across town to work with them again.

I have taken 2 of my cars there. Each time they had openings the next day or day after. Each time they completed their work within the day specified. All of the staff is friendly and helpful.

My 2005 Ford Taurus developed a fuel leak at the fuel filter. Its also had a rattle when you start it which I suspected was the heat shield around the catalytic converter. I had them repair those 2 things as well as check fluids, belts, brakes, battery, etc. It was done when they said it would be at a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Baker Road Automotive for all your automotive needs.

Ive been taking my VW Jetta here for maintenance and repairs for a few years now, and always leave feeling taken care of. Everyone has always been friendly and taken the time to best explain any issues and options, then do an excellent job. Awesome team, and amazing service when it comes to emergencies! Would recommend to anyone.

Customer for life - I drive an older car so theres always something going on with it. Knowing I can count on them to help me and explain in ways I understand (but not in patronizing ways) helps me feel more comfortable every time I get in my car. They figured out something on my car that 4 other reputable shops missed in diagnostics - everything you could hope for in a repair shop.

I took my Mercedes ML350 in for a transmission and radiator flush. I also had the technician diagnose my check engine light. All work was done in a professional manner. I was given a printout of the check engine light fault code. The issue could only be fixed by a software update through Mercedes. Very pleased with the work and the price charged.

If you dont bring your vehicle here you are missing out on excellent serviceFinding a decent, honest mechanic can be very stressful especially being a single woman. I heard about Baker Road Automotive last year through a friend and decided to give them a try.Im very pleased with the work Baker Road Automotive has done on my vehicle ranging from oil changes to simple repairs to general check-ups before going on a road trip. Their pricing is competitive and they will give you approximate costs on larger repairs and what concerns need to be taken care of now and what can wait a little bit before needing to be addressed.Everyone there is knowledgeable, friendly and all have a great sense of humor. I definitely made the right choice coming here.

My mom has always bragged about Baker Rd. Automotive but I never tried until I had to! My car battery had died at my moms, Baker Auto had the battery I needed! (I had to wait until the next day at Tires Plus) Its in a very convenient location, everyone I have encountered seem to be very knowledgeable about any ? I may have!

Nothing but good things to say about this shop. My Acura was leaking large amounts of oil, and had some additional issues with tail lights and brake lights. Its an older car that I plan on selling soon, so the thought of having to pay significant amounts of money to get it fixed was off putting. I called this shop and Rick (I believe is who I spoke with) talked through the issues with me and made it clear that he understood my desire to minimize costs. Coming from Houston where mechanics can be predatory in up-selling, these guys restored my trust, or at least they definitely earned it. They found the issue with the leak, called back with an estimate for all the work that I was comfortable with. Prior to starting the work I remembered I had purchased a small part that would take me 20-25 minutes to replace, but would take less than 5 minutes for a pro to change. I (boldly) asked if they would mind doing it complimentary for me. They said that they will take a look at what it entails, and if it is what I said it is in terms of time for them, then it would not be a problem. Long story short, not only did they replace the part for free, but my final balance due was $50 less than what I was told... I dont think that ever happens. I was recommended this place by my father in-law, and I will happily recommend this place to all my friends/family. I drove from Minneapolis out to their shop, and will continue to do so in the future because of the fantastic customer service, quality work, and extremely reasonable pricing.

The Service that we received on our vehicle was very professionally performed and done on time. Being a long time customer with these customer minded individuals that use their professional knowledge to repair your vehicle to manufacture specification. With their overall excellent knowledge, professional attitude, I would highly recommend their service to everyone that needs their car fix. Keep up the great Guys. See you on the next visit.Dolores and Craig H.

Baker Road Automotive provides SUPERIOR service giving all your options for each issue with no hard sell which is refreshing to say the least! Top notch service with cost effective options and quick accurate repairs once your decisions are made. Plus they have loaner vehicles if needed while they have your vehicle in for repair. Could not ask for more! I highly recommend them!

I’ve always had a great experience with Baker Road Service. They do the job well, and I believe they work with integrity and honesty. I haven’t thought this way about any other auto shop in decades! They go the extra mile and work hard to earn your business. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a large or small repair or maintenance. You won’t be disappointed!

2018: Baker Road Automotive expanded its ability to provide quality automotive maintenance for German imports when new owner, Eric, a former certified Audi mechanic, took over a year ago. While still providing excellent service for American and other imports, I know my RS6 and 30 year old 911 are in good hands. Baker Road Automotives location is very convenient and their charges are reasonably priced. I have been using Baker Road Automotive for over 6 years since moving to Glen Lake and have found them friendly, caring and honest. They offer timely deals for regular maintenance on all cars. Thanks Eric and Rick for years of quality care for all my cars, German and American.5/3/21 Update: Eric and Co. did a magnificent job in replacing my Audi RS6 brake pads/lines and rotors last week in addition to two front bearings. By going to BRA, I saved significantly over what the dealership had bid for the job. Thanks again, Eric.

My first experience with Baker Automotive was very positive. I came to them for a second opinion, so I know the pricing was competitive to another independent shop and much cheaper than the dealer. My repair was on a BMW leaking oil due to a cracked valve cover for a BMW. They are my new independent shop for future business.

From the moment I walked in through the door, I knew this is the right place. Great customer service! Highly trained, professional, kind respectful, and caring staff. I am very satisfied with their services. Mechanics are very professional and HONEST. I had to fix small problem on my bmw f30, and they fixed it for me very quick and for very affordable price (8 times cheaper that the estimate I got at BMW dealership, no joke). I will definitely be visiting this place again, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone! Thank you for unforgettable experience!

I have finally found my go to auto service company! I just had a full synthetic oil change on my Charger and was blown away with the service I received. It started with Rick’s warm personality on the phone combined with his incredible knowledge. I also spoke with a mechanic when I picked my vehicle up and once again I felt important and treated like royalty. The girl at the front desk was also very friendly! My Charger was done early with a fair price and I will be back with my wife’s car. I enthusiastically recommend Baker Road Service!

The service that my wife and I have received from Baker Road Automotive over the pass 34 years has been nothing less than professional and pleasing. From the front desk all the way to the technicians, in the service area, my wife and I, have received honest, up front, and truthful information. We recommend Baker Road Automotive to all our associates and friends. Keep up the great work.From C&D Heikkila

So happy I found Baker Road Service. They give you an up front fair price on repairs and stick to it never trying to up-charge you.Since getting used cars for both of my teenagers the crew at Baker Road have ensured they are safe reliably running cars at an affordable cost. I highly recommend getting an estimate for your car service at Baker Road Service.

Very efficient and extremely reasonable laborI was very pleased with the service to my Honda CRV. They replaced both front sway bar linkages, one of which was broken. They provided me with a loaner vehicle, but completed the work within just a few hours. The labor charge (with $20 coupon) was only $98, which I think was extremely reasonable!

Ive always valued honesty, professionalism, and thoroughness in an auto body shop, and I can firmly say Baker Road services goes above and beyond on all of the above. I have never felt pressured or like they are trying to sell me on unnecessary expenses on my car; they also explain in an easy to understand manner, as I have limited knowledge with mechanics and cars. I also really appreciate the loaner vehicle that you can use free of charge--as long as its available, while your car is in the shop. Thank you, Baker Road service for the timing belt repair and auto transmission service!!

I never thought Id find an affordable Audi mechanic but I definitely did here. Replaced my engine and a list of other things from exhaust,my ac compressor to thermostat and coolant reservoir for less than what other places would of charged for just the cost of the engine itself.

Believe the reviews- they offer quality services at the best prices and go above and beyond to make things right. I’ve come here for 3 service appointments, most recently for a light that was out. I picked up my car and tested the light when I got home and it still didn’t work! I called after hours and they got me on the schedule for the next day, figured out it was a bad bulb, didn’t charge me for the new parts or service, and then offered to pick me up from work with my car! I’ve always been able to make appointments soon and they have free loaner vehicles (nothing flashy, but they drive). They have upfront pricing and always call with any additional recommendations before doing the work with zero pressure. The staff is super friendly and someone is in the office by 7 for key drop off. Their prices are better than any of the dealers or other mechanics in the area.

Hands down, the most honest, reliable and reasonably priced mechanic shop Ive ever been to. Ive been coming here for about 2 years and I actuslly look forward to coming in because I know they are not gonna try to upsell you services you dont need. In fact, Ive never had them try to upsell anything when I bring my cars in for oil changes. However, if they did let me know something is wrong, Id trust them 100%!

Absolutely one of most honest mechanics I have ever encountered. I went in believing that I was going to pay (estimate) $1990 for a new head gasket for an oil leak and they found it was simply a missing rubber plug. It cost me $214.18, to replace the plug, clean the engine and make sure that that was truly the problem. Thanks!

I want to clear up the review posted 2 years ago. Baker Road Service does NOT even offer rental services, and as long as Ive lived in this area (25 years) never has. Another business across the street does, but not Baker (and by the way, Ive rented from them and been happy with their service as well). So I appreciate ones frustrations, but please get your facts straight before you malign a business that could not have been involved!I have been completely satisfied with Rick and his team who have serviced my car as well as my sons vehicles. As one reviewer says, he analyzes the problem, explains the options and fixes what must be fixed. If there are additional issues that an owner might want to consider, those are explained but never is there pressure or false representation to up sell. I value their honest customer service and excellent workmanship!

The Google User who gave this place one star and complained about his rental truck not being available was writing about the wrong place. Baker Road Service does not rent trucks. There is a business across the street on the north side of Excelsior which does rent trucks. Perhaps the writer was confused.
