So glad to have found them back in 2017. Cant say enough great things about these guys! Straightforward, honest, and fair! One of the few ethical auto shops out there. Ive sent my 335, 535, and X5 I always walk away happy that they did the maintenance and dont have that second guessing feeling you get from the dealer...did I pay too much?
Great place to take your car for service. Would recommend them to anyone. Very knowledgeable and great rates, too. Excellent service.
I wish I could give ten stars. We have been using Metric for our Mercedes, Audi and Toyota and have always been 100% satisfied with Carl and his crew. We will not go anywhere else and did have to go to the dealer once as Carl told us it would be under warranty. They are beyond honest, explain things clearly and the work done is too notch. Again, I can’t say enough good things about Metric!!!!!!!!
Very reliable repair shop. We have brought our cars there several times and everyone we interacted with was very friendly, flexible and honest. With every experience, I always received quality service, we trust them and will be back. Another reviewer summed it up best, this is truly the most ethical shop we have been to.
I began using Metric when I was married. Now that I am single and know very little about cars, it is so wonderful to have a repair shop I can trust! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Wouldnt go anywhere else!!
Metric Auto Works is my go to service place for my BMW and my Porsche autos. I have had nothing but great service and quality work from them, and feel like their prices are much more fair than the BMW or Porsche dealerships would be. They also are right here in our community, and I love supporting them!
I have used Metric Auto forever for my foreign cars. They do excellent work, communicate the pros and cons and challenges of necessary work. I have never felt they do or suggest any unnecessary work. Prices are fair and just pleasant folks to work with.
They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Im definitely going to have all my work done there.
I think this is the most ethical repair shop Ive ever been to. Really good service, very honest. Highest recommendation!
Honest, truly honest service. High quality work. On time.
No one is more knowledgeable, or more skilled.Have been going to Metric for 20 years. There is not another mechanic in Minnesota like them. They are absolutely the best, most knowledgeable, skilled, honest, kind team around. Love them
Great and honest people.
Chris and his son are awesome people. They give great customer service and are highly competent. Trust them completely
Above and beyondI brought my car in due to my shifter feeling loose. Upon inspection it was found an aftermarket piece added wasn’t constructed well enough and the mechanic devised a custom and more permanent solution that is working great. I couldnt be happier. To me this was above and beyond.Update: Top notch trustable serviceCame in recently with aftermarket coilovers and asked to have them installed. No instructions came with them. Their quoted labor cost was a bit higher than I expected but they assured me if they can do it faster they would charge me less. Not only did they do a good job, they did it for $400 less. Do you trust your mechanic to lower the cost of labor if possible? I do now and will continue to bring my car here. Btw, they even routed my aftermarket subwoofer cables around the mid engine layout so they werent visible which I had previously struggled to figure out how to do. Looks much better now. Its like hes fixing his car and I just get to drive it! :-)
I have been a customer for 25+ years and recommend Metric every chance I get; they are that good.
An amazing auto shop. These guys do great work and are the most trustworthy mechanic youll find!
Good people. They always get me in and out quick for my oil and filter changes and their prices are amazing, I highly highly recommend!
Good customer service and they are willing to do electrical work. The pricing is good and they dont waste work hours to gouge you.
The owner is an excellent mechanic who is honest and knowledgeable about what should be fixed and does not try to sell you on things you do not need.
Outstanding service and support.I cannot say enough about both Collin and Chris; from the way Collin handles the customer service up front, and Chriss work in the back. They have help me out a couple of times now, from minor repairs and maintenance to the recent extensive repair, and their service far exceeds the local dealership. I truly appreciate the work they do and am definitely a regular customer. Thank you.
Metric Auto Works is a great place for the residents of Woodbury to take their import vehicles to. Quality work, done right. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Loaner cars available. Competitive prices. Metric has done my auto work on my BMW X5 for six years and earns FIVE stars from me.
I recommend METRIC for integrity, economic service and sincerity. If you desire all of the iterated valuable qualities for your vehicle. You are sure in the safest hands with Metric Auto Works.To them, urgent quality service delivery is first and paramount. Go for it, if you need it.
Brought in my Subaru to have a tire checked out and couldnt be happier with the service I received! I highly recommend Metric for any import car. Chris and Colin were very professional and made the whole process seamless!! Will be back for more service in the future.Update: Just had a headlight bulb swapped out, and once again could not be happier with my experience! They were professional, courteous and timely.
I have been using Metric for 8+ years. VERY pleased with the quality of the workmanship. Prices are fair and well explained prior to performance of the work. I also appreciate the personal relationship and courtesies extended to me over these years ... something I have never have received from any dealer over 35 years of car ownership.Chris and his team are a favorite from many of my friends with German brand autos. My 10 or so friends who use Metric are all extremely satisfied.WITHOUT HESITATION, I highly recommend
Incredibly helpful and informative. He squeezed me in same day for a quick inspection and delivered surprisingly positive news. Honest and trustworthy.
Great service and great prices.Service has gone down hill and proces through rood, take it to dealer its the same cost give or take 2% and the dealer has the Qualified people to do the work!
Professional guys. Well informed. Didnt overcharge and theyre quick. Going there for all my car needs! Keep it up!
Theyre the best at knowing what is serious and what needs to be done.
Friendly and honest employees. Could not say enough good things about them.100% recommend!
Metric does good work. They also communicate well and can offer a loaner car when scheduling permits.
Good, friendly service that you just dont find often anymore.
The only shop i will let service any of my vehicles. Great customer service, honest folks who really care.❤
Brought my 2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design to Metric Auto Works in July to have the Heater/AC Blower Motor replaced. Replacement required a lot of interior disassembly as the motor is buried far inside the dashboard. They charged me a reasonable amount for the job, completed the work in one day, and I only found one clip on one interior panel that was not completely secured. Finding only one very small thing out of place shows just how good a job they did on a very complex and involved repair.
Ive been taking my BMW to Metric for 2 years now and have referred friends who have also had great experiences! They are professional, dependable and always stand by their work. Especially for those of you who live in the East Suburbs...this is the place to take your foreign car!
Never been there, just therapy right across from metric, but pretty sure theyre great because of the services and customers going in and out every day!
If you have an import, without a doubt, this is the place to bring it for upkeep and repairs. The people at Metric Auto will treat you good and youll get top quality work at an honest and fair price. When I had my Audi, they serviced that, and now they take care of my Beetle convertible and I wouldnt think of bringing it anywhere else. Give these guys a chance - I promise you will continue to come back to them. It can be hard to find a a mechanic who wont rip you off and take advantage of your trust. Look no more - this is the place to go! Seriously!
Very professional, comprehensive and transparent service on my Subaru Baja Turbo. No detail overlooked but no unnecessary labor or parts added to estimated cost. All questions and requests answered cordially and in detail. Have absolute confidence in Metric services and would recommend highly.
Ive been working with Metric Auto ever since I purchased my Audi S8 back in 2010. Metric does the work youve asked them to do, and they do it within the time frame promised. A nice touch is the loaner car on offer.Highly recommended.
Everything a mechanic should be! Ive been taking our fleet of Volkswagens to Metric for decades and they have performed everything from minor upkeep to major rebuild an engine type work. They have always been honest and take the time to find the solution which best fits our finances. They know what they are doing and back their work up so you know your car is well taken care of. Metric if you are reading this thank you!
I would recommend to any one, I dont trust any other shop to work on my Z. High quality work, no beating around the bush, very reasonable prices. I wouldnt look no further these guys are pros! Actually going to pick up my Z today, I had them replace my rear dif.
Most excellent service
I was referred to Metric Auto Works by a friend. Now that Ive gone there for a few years, I refer friends to them as well. They give good advice, explain their diagnosis well, and have competitive prices.
They performed average work on my Audi when I brought it in to have the brake pads and rotors replaced. They didnt break anything but then again it is a simple job for any auto repair shop.The one star rating stems from the unnecessary and unapproved topping-off of my oil. No, it was not low. They decided to top it off anyways and charge me $10. On another occasion, a relative of mine brought a car in for routine maintenance (Im intentionally being vague here) and they replaced a turn signal bulb without prior approval and charged $20 for it. First, even dealerships ask for approval to do something outside of the original scope of work (and even if they do something extra they dont charge you for it). Second, in the grand scheme of things this is not a big deal but 10 bucks here and 20 bucks there and this shop can really rake in the dough. Unfortunately this reinforces the stigma that auto repair shops carry of being greedy and dishonest. I would look elsewhere.
Honest and professional services. The best!
I have a 1997 BMW that I have serviced at Metric. They do high quality work for a fair price. In 2014 I was told that my brake booster was worn out. I was told I did not have to fix it right then but could wait. I really appreciated being given the option to wait, I had the work done the following spring, after it came out of storage. I was told by other friends that I would need to replace the clutch at 100K. When I passed that number I asked about the clutch. They drove it and said I had plenty of clutch left and not to be concerned. I am a real fan of Metric Auto Works, recently I had a brake light failure on the dash. I stopped in to make an appointment, and they replaced the bulb immediatetly.I am a dedicated custormer because of these events.
This is my go-to shop as I try to squeeze every bit of life left in my quarter-million mile BMW when I cant do the job myself. Their labor has never disappointed, they provide good, thorough, and reasonable recommendations on repairs, and they are never pushy when I turn down non-essential service.
Back when I lived in Woodbury, I would use these guys for repairs to my GTI VR6. They specialize in imports and seem to do a lot of work on VWs (check out the table in their waiting room, which is a W12 block topped with glass -- very cool).I revisited them a few days ago after I called and asked for a loaner car. Im in Saint Paul now, and its more of a hassle to get rides to and from Woodbury. Getting the loaner was painless. I was pleased.Repairs were done in one day and the price was reasonable. I recommend Metric for anyone with a Volkswagen.
I wont really my car anywhere else!! Great service, great to work with...
Great mechicans, unbelievable customer service by Chris!! Very honest and trustworthy!!
Quality work at a reasonable price with no BS! Highly recommended for all German Auto work.
After having a problem with may car being diagnosed incorrectly at Metric they stepped up to the plate and hit it long! They corrected their mistake and made things right! In this day and age it is hard to find a company that will swallow their pride, ego and think about their customers needs! That is exactly what they did! I would highly recommend them not only on the basis of Auto Repair but also business ethics! Good job Chris!
Ive been to Metric many times over the years and have had them work on a whole lot of oddball import cars. Volvos, VWs, Porsches, Toyotas, Hondas. They always do the work for me flawlessly and at a good price. The service is excellent too. Ive referred many of my friends there and theyve always been happy too. 5 Stars!
Above par work and very reasonably priced. Extra friendly as well, even going so far as to give me a ride home when I dropped off the car for maintenance.
Just super.
