You may pay a little more here, but they're not going to lie to you and they stand by their work. Plus it's good to channel business to an independent small business like this one.

Top notch service and customer care! While my son was attending Carleton College, he experienced…read moresome car trouble. Living in Texas, I searched for a repair shop close to the school. I found Convenience Car Care on line and contacted them through their website. Tom called back that night and got all the info. The next day, he contacted my son, picked up the car, and even drove him back to school! The repair was simple and Tom even picked up my son the next day to get his car. Tom fixed a couple other items while the car was in Northfield over the last two years. Drove it back to Texas a couple of days ago. Ran flawless! Highly recommend this place.

We drove up to the dealership (about 30 miles) the next morning, test drove the truck and had a deal made by 11am that day. This made our car buying experience a very enjoyable experience. We did have an emissions issue in the first few days of owning the truck. Nick and the crew took care of getting the issue resolved quickly, even arranged for a loaner while our truck was in the shop. I bought a used vehicle, so I understand that issues are entirely possible. What impressed me most is how it was handled so professionally and quickly. Great truck, great service! This is how car buying ought to be. Thanks Monkey Motors!

Two days after my most recent vehicle purchase, I couldn't get my vehicle started and couldn't figure out what was going on (it turned out to be a blown fuse). I called Monkey Motors to let them know what happened and they drove a mechanic out to my house to take a look, had it towed to a shop, and had it fixed and ready for me to pick up the same day. They turned a bad situation into a positive experience and I would buy from them again if the opportunity arises.

That is really nice not having to sit at the mechanic's shop for 4 hours (time it took to finish my last repair). Another plus was I was having him do 2 separate things and when I got the bill it was lower than the estimate and he told me because the jobs were done together they had less to take apart to do one of the job's and it saved time and money overall. NICE I would definitely recommend Tim's to other people with the number of times I have been there. It is nice when you can have a good relationship with your mechanic.

In July, I purchased a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 from Car Time of Owatonna. The salesman I dealt with was…read moreJustin. He said he had no access to the service history of the vehicle, but he did show me a ticket for a repair they supposedly made. Within two weeks of buying the truck, these are the problems that arose: -Inexplicably shifted into "Recreational Tow Mode." -Discovered the parking brake didn't work. -"Service 4 Wheel Drive" light began turning on. -Discovered all 4 front ball joints were in terrible condition. -Found out the CD player doesn't work. -Discovered the CV axle and intermediate axle were damaged. -Found out there are 2 fault codes in the computer, C1404 and C1002. C1404 is for the transfer case position sensor, which might explain the truck slipping into "Recreational Tow Mode." C1002 is for the brake switch sensor. -I was quoted over $2,000 for repairs at a local garage. I should also mention that upon calling Justin about the first issue, the truck slipping into "Recreation Tow Mode", he was less than useful. First, when I told him I was able to get it back into 2 wheel drive, he said something to the effect of "cool, so it's all good now." Not the response one looks for from someone who claims to be an honest dealer that makes sure their customers are taken care of. A truck should never inexplicably shift gears, and hearing that one he sold me did, should have been cause for concern on Justin's part. In this same phone call Justin also claimed to have no knowledge of Minnesota's 30-day used car warranty law, mentioned here https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Consumer/Handbooks/MNCarLaws/CH2.asp. This law doesn't apply in my case, but I mentioned it just to hear what Justin would say. I was displeased that he claimed to have never heard of it, despite the fact he has been a used car dealer for quite some time now. Bottom line, I bought the truck "As Is," and I know this. However, I am still enough of a sap to think those who claim such high levels of integrity would seek to ensure I know about potentially dangerous problems with the truck they are selling me. After all, if a ball joint goes out while I am cruising down the highway, it is the lives of my wife, four children, and myself at stake. Is Car Time of Owatonna any worse than other used car dealers? I don't know. Just keep in mind that they are used car dealers and the stereotype exists for a reason. Don't expect integrity and do not take them at their word. I won't be using Car Time of Owatonna again.
