Though they're a tad on the pricey side, they're knowledge and skill is well worth it. I was taught that there's to much legit work out there to rip people off and these guys take that idea to heart. When it comes down to brass tacks, these are the guys I trust, and I refuse to go elsewhere for any transmission work.

As I'm driving home the check engine light comes on and the car starts jerking on the highway, and much worse than before. I come back a week later to have it fixed as I live an hour away. This time I needed it fixed for sure, and asked them to replace the rear strut and tie rods also as I already have the parts. Again I left it with them all day. I made arrangements to be off work and asked others to help me with rides while I waited. Didn't hear anything all day until I called 10 minutes before they closed. I was told they don't believe in throwing unnecessary parts at the vehicle because their scanner couldn't come up with anything. The audacity they have to waste my time, money, and energy! Such terrible service, they could've told me from the start if they didn't have the time, talent, or resources to complete the job. This place will take you as a fool. Beware!

Today I stopped in spur of the moment because my Subaru Forester was making a racket due to a loose pipe that would not stay on it's bracket. In less than 20 minutes, they had fabricated a permanent fix for my problem and didn't even charge me. Last year, they replaced a heat shield at substantial savings after explaining my options. (Over $500 in savings). They did an outstanding job and had the work completed in less than a day. I trust Brian and his incredible team to do an excellent job as they have consistently demonstrated integrity, honesty, and going extra mile for me. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great service!

He was quick to provide next-day availability, and worked away for three long days, staying late on the last night to make sure my car was ready for work the next day.

Ben spent the night researching what the problem could be, determined to get my car back on the road as soon as possible. My car runs like new, all thanks to Ben's hard work and determination. Ben is experienced, reliable, genuine, friendly, and will get the job done no matter what it takes. Thank you!

They also could have easily had me replace some parts I thought might be bad for over $1500, but they said I could probably wait a while, so I only ended up paying them $30 for a separate inspection.

Mind you this same SUV had been gone over for safety prior to the school year exactly 1 month earlier on 12/23/24 by a friend and owner of a well respected auto shop in Excelsior MN outside of MPLS and was given a clean bill of health. The only complaints for the SUV was a known nail in the passenger front tire of which they charged an acceptable $26.99. What was "found" during the visit was the need to Remove and Replace both front lower Control Arms $986.32, Computerized 4 wheel alignment $159.95 and Remove and replace Valve Cover Gasket $757.88 for a total of $2093.27. We drove to Duluth and took the SUV to another auto shop and that shop was given the estimate sheet from 4th Street Auto as kind of a "cheat sheet" to guide them on what possibly needed to be repaired. After a full day of driving to and from Duluth and the expense of another car exam the final diagnosis was.....none of those suggested repairs were needed. I would personally suggest using caution if you are a young female student or anyone with no car knowledge taking your car in for repairs to this establishment.
