I've been bringing my Honda to Car Care since 2016. I've had routine maintenance work done --…read morebrakes, tires, oil changes, etc. The service and work has always been great. The guys in the front are friendly and helpful. I've never felt pressured to do more work than what I bring my car in for. Recently, they didn't have any loaner cars, so they gave me a ride to and from the shop, which was really kind and helpful. I've always had a good experience and believe them to be honest. And I like supporting a local business.

I used this place twice for my car's oil change and tire rotation needs. It was nearby to where I…read moreused to live, so it was reasonably convenient. I booked my appointments over the phone. The most recent time I booked about a week in advance and was assured they weren't very busy, yet when I got there for my appointment time, all the bays were full with cars already being worked on... My car didn't go in until like 15 to 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. Kind of obnoxious. To be fair, I don't know what the going rate for an oil change/tire rotation is in an economy that's constantly inflating like ours is right now. I paid $60ish for the oil and $30 for the tire rotation. I was glad it was under a hundred, but it still felt sorta pricey. I dunno. They do try to upsell you if you've got an older vehicle. This time they asked about spark plugs and "recommended" replacement every 60k miles. I did mine back at 90k so I'll do it again in 90k, thanks. Last time they told me the "previous guys" did something wrong with my tires and "offered" to fix it for $30. I still dunno if I believe what they said or if they just wanted to make another thirty bucks. They also pushed something about my dashboard last time and this time (because they'd put it in the vehicle's records that I'd declined it). I dunno. Can't get a read on the situation. At least when you decline they don't keep pushing, so there's that. I do know that while I wait in the lobby I overhear the chatter of the employees and the other customers. And it seems like they upsell always, or "discover" this or that problem. Like came in for X, so push Y. Some people might be really appreciative or feel like these guys are "looking out for you," so maybe I'm just cynical and have trust issues. It feels like the dentist where you can't disagree with them because you're not an expert, but you also suspect they're yanking you around because they know you're not an expert and no one wants a broken down car or rotten teeth. You feel me? At any rate, now that I've moved, I've found a place closer for my routine maintenance needs and I won't have to wonder anymore, but this review is here for you to decide for yourself. Bonus points for the gender neutral toilet.

I have intermittently come to Hopkins T&A for various issues when I need a repair service nearby…read morethat won't charge an arm and a leg for basic maintenance issues. I am from south central MN and have a family mechanic and tow insurance for the distance there for larger issues, but for smaller issues I would like to not have to drive an hour and drop off my car and borrow one and the whole rigamarole. It's nice to have somewhere nearby. In my experience, I remember the service to be timely, not too costly, and well done. I get a solid, uncomplicated description of the issues otherwise existing in my vehicle as a person without car background, past what I've picked up as a regular commuter, some of what was described to me being more or less what I'd anticipated with a used $3k Toyota Corolla that I've had for a few years now. I appreciate being able to text Lisa regarding issues that come up and negotiate time to come by to get it looked at, so I can pass along accurate written information at my convenience, versus some other auto places in the area I've tried to go through that were phone call only. I plan to go in soon for what I suspect is a spark plug needing replacement. Thanks for being a worthy auto repair recommendation :)

WORKU IS AWESOME POSSUM! He is honest and he will charge you the right price. I went to TirePlus…read moreand they were going to charge me $100 to fix the hood of my car. I needed other repairs, I stopped by Worku and he did the oil change, brakes (i think), and when I went to pick up my car he had fixed the hood, he said it just needed to unscrew the lock and put it back again and some oil. DID HE CHARGE ME EXTRA? no! IDIOTS At tireplus. My only wish is that he had more hrs in the weekend, but he needs to rest :)

I have been going to Worku at Great Brakes and never had any issues. However, the last time I went…read morein to the shop was for an oil change, new alternator, and an overall check on the vehicle. When I picked up my truck they said they checked everything and completed what they needed to. That same day I got an engine knock and took it to a mechanic in the area I was in. He let me know there was barely any oil in my truck and my engine was shot. When I asked Robel about it (Workus son) he stated they forgot to take care of the oil. When I asked Worku how he plans on fixing it he basically threw me out of the shop. I took a 24k hit and they did not care at all. If you go this shop do yourself a favor and document everything!!!

I referred a good friend to Steve to fix his front end after a deer hit it, and he was beyond pleased with the work that was done.

I also live super close so dropping my car off in the morning and being able to walk home is such a plus!

Since moving to Roseville, I decided to try Vrooom based on the reviews. I was not disappointed…read more I used them for two services: new tires on my Tesla and an oil change for an old SUV that only sits in the garage. Both experiences were great. There was one very minor hiccup that was easily remedied. I have two sets of wheels, one for winter and one for summer. I left the winter wheels and they called me when the new tires were ready. I was told I could call back the day I wanted to swap them on my car since it would only take 15 minutes to accomplish. When I called in the morning to see if I could come in that afternoon, I was told I had to make an appointment, which would be a week later at the earliest. If I had been told this in the first place, I would have just made the appointment at that time. Nonetheless, they called me back and said they could squeeze me in that same day. Very minor and not concerning. Everyone was incredibly helpful and the service and pricing were amazing. I'll be back for sure.

I have been going to Starr for my service for about 18 months now. I used to dread taking cars in…read moreto get worked on but not since I started coming here. I make the drive from out in the suburbs and arrange rides to and from the shop when I need things done because the service and honesty is worth every bit of logistical hastle. I won't take my car anywhere else for repairs. Recently, I had an oil change done at another shop for convenience. They informed me that two of the CV boots had "blown out" and needed to be replaced. I scheduled a drop off to Starr, and sure enough the other shop was lying. Nothing wrong with the boots. The boots are $150 and surely even with Starr's reasonable labor prices I'd have been looking at least $200-250 in total to replace them. This shop is friendly, quick, and most of all honest. Their work is excellent, and they never recommend anything to be done if it doesn't need fixing. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.... and they don't! They won't try to get you to do things early, they won't hoodwink you, but they WILL meet you with a smile and an accurate timeline of when your car will be fixed and at least for me, the estimates have always ended up being accurate or the actual work being less. This shop is worth every bit of the drive to get your work done. I'll never go anywhere else.

I brought my 2008 Jeep Wrangler to Starr Auto because it wouldn't start unless I shifted between…read morePark and Neutral several times. I explained that I believed the issue was caused by the neutral safety switch, which is a known and common issue for this model. Instead of inspecting that part, the shop replaced my starter and battery terminal posts, charging me $966. The problem was never fixed -- the Jeep still has the exact same starting issue. When I returned, Starr Auto admitted it might actually be the neutral safety switch and said they could repair it for another $200. That clearly shows the first repair was misdiagnosed and unnecessary. I'm a disabled veteran with VA disabled license plates, and I rely on my vehicle for daily mobility. I trusted this shop to treat me fairly, but instead I feel taken advantage of and disappointed by their lack of professionalism and integrity. I've since filed a credit card dispute for the $966 charge and would strongly caution other customers -- especially veterans -- to avoid this business.
