I just moved to the Saint Cloud area from the cities. I had a reliable mechanic (basically a 3 man…read moreoperation) I had been using for the last 10 years. And he's awesome. But now that I'm up here it's not really feasible to drive an hour south, drop off my car for a day or two, and figure out a ride back up here or renting a car. So I had to look for someone up here. Mike's Repair looked well reviewed so I took a chance on them. Turns out they are awesome too! I appreciated that when I called someone picked up right away in the evening and got me scheduled for first thing the next morning. Car was fixed the same day. Price was reasonable. A bit more than I'm used to, but I know the guy I used to go to was really giving me a sweetheart deal. I think Mike's gave me good value for the money I paid. I have 240k+ miles on this Civic of mine and it just keeps chugging along. So I'm sure I'll be back to Mike's as it needs more work. I'll definitely return!

After having the car for a few days, I wanted to extend the number of days for the rental and they were able to accommodate this.

I will be using this service again in the future and highly recommend Southwood Motors for your next car rental.

We've driven our 2006 Prius all over everywhere, but it was finally time to replace her. My husband…read morewas meticulous about scouring the interwebz for a used vehicle that matched his criteria, and he found a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek through Sands Auto South. Though it was a bit of a drive for us, we wanted to check it out. We called ahead to make sure it was still available/on the lot (sometimes places are bad about updating their websites regularly to reflect inventory, but this place was accurate). When we arrived, we came into the office first. We were greeted in a friendly, relaxed manner. The guy got our IDs, gave us the keys and let us take it for a roll. We liked it but needed a couple days to consider. The guy was chill with that answer and didn't attempt to pressure us in any way to hurry our decision or check out any other vehicles on the lot, which I really appreciated. I've been to auto dealers before who won't leave you alone or won't take no for an answer and it's a huge turnoff, so this casual attitude was honestly a green flag for us. When we initially were inspecting it on the lot (we were pretty thorough, even got under the hood haha), he didn't even come out of the office to watch us or upsell us. Again, I really appreciated being left alone to consider for myself without any salesmanship BS or distracting chit chat. Hubbie did end up going back a few days later (once he'd got funds in the right place) to purchase it, and it was also a relaxed experience. He was able to trade in the Prius to get a slight discount on the going rate for the Crosstrek. One word of warning, be sure to come with cash in hand if you aren't financing, because there is like a 3% fee if you use a credit or debit card to purchase! Oh, also the toilet was nice and clean in the office.

They originally told me it's $160 for a diagnostic and I ended up paying $169. I'm really…read moredisappointed in my experience here. The diagnostic did not cover some key tests I expected as part of a standard diagnostic. They failed to do a full scan of all systems and failed to check previous codes that were causing problems as well. When I asked about further testing, they wanted to charge me extra. I ended up taking my car back without getting any repairs done. I feel like I didn't get the full picture of what was going on with my car. Also seems like they upcharge significantly on basic parts compared to other shops. Would not recommend.

Dylan was very helpful throughout the buying process and helped us get an awesome interest rate that other dealerships said they wouldn't even be able to get close to before we found NexGen. We pointed out a few small things we noticed when we found our dream truck, and one of the employees said they'd take care of us after we bought it since we wanted to take the truck home the same day. The owner, Mark, stood behind the truck and took care of those few things for us after we bought it even though he wasn't present when the staff member said they'd fix those few things. Most used car dealerships would have said "no used vehicles are sold as-is". We will be recommending NexGen to everyone we know and we are definitely life-long customers!
