Timely repairs were appreciated, too. Both times I've had our truck in to Riverside Automotive Repairs I've been impressed with the workmanship, knowledge, and speed the shop provides. I'd been told by several Frontier owners (the truck is new to me) that a synthetic transmission oil might help a little with the truck's cold shifting. David couldn't come up with the oil that had been recommended, but I was impressed enough with his knowledge of the problem and the vehicle that decided to go with his recommendation. He was dead-on and the truck sifted like a dream after the old oil was replaced with a 75-90 weight synthetic. He got that job done and fixed the rattling heat-shield(s?) on the truck's muffler in less than an hour. A couple of weeks later, I brought the truck back to have the glitchy Viper "security system" removed and the truck's electric doors returned to stock. The rewiring job was professional and done right. I was able to get my new stock Nissan remote door units to work in the driveway and I couldn't ask for the work to have been better or for a more reasonable price. We've just moved to Red Wing and it is really nice to know we have a great shop nearby.

Efficient. Caring. Honest. Accurate…read more Siewert's saved our anniversary weekend trip. We were "stuck" in Red Wing, MN with a broken down car on our anniversary. It was a Thursday evening. Being 250 miles from home, knowing nobody in the area and needing to be in the Twin Cities the next day, financially and logistically we looked to be between a rock and a hard place. We wanted to spend a day in Red Wing, but we had tickets and hotels that could not be cancelled w/o losing our money if we didn't show in St. Paul the next night. Renting a car was very difficult logistically, out of Red Wing. Especially since the weekend was approaching. Enter, Siewert's Towing. They towed our broken down vehicle and gave us a ride to our hotel about 10 miles away. Knowing our situation, they made no promises but said they'd do what they could. Beyond staffing and other issues of an unscheduled repair, there were parts to obtain. The work took all of Friday to complete, but it wasn't an easy job. Siewert's even gave us a ride to the one attraction we had planned on seeing in Red Wing, while we waited for the work to be done. By late afternoon, they brought us back to the shop and sent us on our way. Their work and pricing was honest and great. The car runs as it should. These are just the type of folks you pray to meet if you are far from home with a broken down car and don't know what to do! We will be forever grateful!

Horrid experience that resulted in more than $4,000 out of pocket and a completely malfunctioning…read morecar. Our car, 2008 Subaru Forrester, broke down in Red Wing and Johnson Tire and Auto Repair was convenient. After my husband spoke to a person named John there, they said they could put in a good used engine that would work well given that the car was in such good shape and had low miles, 126,000. We paid over $3600 for that used engine (and other costs for fixes in the following two weeks). It malfunctioned within 5 miles of leaving the business. They spent several hours checking things out and said it was a timing belt (Had to take a vacation day). We got back in the car and were able to get it up to Minneapolis, allegedly fixed and working well. The next morning I noticed a very large oil spot. I immediately brought it to a Midas store a mile away and they told me if I had driven a few more miles, I would've had a catastrophic engine failure. We picked up the car from Johnson on Friday and this was Saturday morning. I paid out of pocket and spoke to John the following Monday and he did reimburse the oil leak. Three days later, another oil sensor problem and fix needed. Again I contacted John and said this was another couple hundred dollars and I was completely confounded how a good used engine could have multiple problems within a week of driving it (drive less than 200 miles in that time). I said I needed to get a refund for the engine as it was a non-reliable car and he said I could bring it down to Red Wing to fix it. The car was not drivable so I was confused as to what the point was. The Midas place also said I had a cracked axle and that would've easily been viewed by the people that put the engine in before putting it in and they should have told us as that is another expensive repair of several hundred dollars (which we did not do as it was a money pit situation). In the end and within two weeks of the big expense at Johnson, we traded it in for $2500. Thousands down the drain. When we had problems the day we picked up the car in September, the mechanic John (different John), repeated more than three times, to my husband and I, "you never know with these used engines." Obviously if that had been told to us upfront we would've simply gotten rid of the car rather than spent the $3600 with Johnson. Absolutely no financial relief or warranty support (said it was 90 days) from Johnson other than bring it down and we'll fix it (how when it has no oil and I live 64 miles from Red Wing). My second post-car trouble conversation with John resulted in hun quietly hanging up on me. Do not have anything significant done with your car there would be my recommendation from this experience. They may be absolutely fine with oil changes, tires, etc. but we felt completely bait and switched and again our out several thousand dollars as well as losing time at work. Extremely poor decision to go with Johnson Tire for a used engine. Bottom line, they said the car was in great shape and once we get the used engine, we should get many more miles out of this car. The used engine was a good way to go we were told (again the mechanic working on the car did not provide confidence that day with his repeated - you don't really know what you are getting). Well it didn't go and we are left out big $$, inconvenience and non-reliable transportation

I dropped off a pair of trailer tires and wheels at Johnson Tire on a Saturday. I was told by John,…read morethe counter/sales guy, the tires would be ready the following Monday. I received a call from John Monday morning saying the tires were ready to be picked up. Excellent! When I arrived at Johnson Tire after work on Monday, John was able to bring my tires out right away. Excellent! When he told be the amount due it was over $140.00. "What the____ ?" I asked him. He ran down the list of expenses which included charging me for my own tires. I called him on it - I was none too pleased. No apology or "sorry about that" offered by John. Not so excellent. When I mentioned how I thought the price they charged for mounting two 12" trailer tires was kinda steep (my fault for not asking when I dropped the tires and wheels off) given the small tire size, his reply, in addition to listing the fees included in the hastily revised work order/receipt, was "well next time you can change them yourself." And his co-worker behind the counter added "and add in the cost of using our $10,000 machine." If you're looking for passive aggressive customer service you'll definitely find it at Johnson Tire.
