    I get to Quick Lane to get tires I ordered for my 2022 Chevrolet Malibu Premier for winter and in my email it shows my exact car my exact tire size my exact name my exact phone number and when they went to check me in they had a 2019 ford edge which I don't own they had that Ford edge under my moms name my mom never would own a ford. They also had the wrong tire size. But in my email from Quick Lane it shows everything correctly. Now I sat there listened to the two girls who were working and they didn't even know my number when they had my number and they didn't know my car and why they had keys to my Chevrolet... They started calling my mom till I started to tell them that it was for me not my mom. Now how does that happen at quick lane?! I will never go there ever again seems like quick lane should terminate the the one who got this wrong. You just lost my business after many years of business I have done with Quick Lane and Northstar Ford. Unfortunately this place isn't the place to do business with anymore. Shameful....

    Absolutely stay away from this business. Their customer service is horrible. It's a real long story…read morebut essentially we are 2.5 hours from home in a 40th anniversary 4Runner and the blower for the heat quit. It's a few minutes to diagnose and approx 20 minutes to replace it. They will not figure out a way to get us in. I'm 65 years old and have never dealt with a business that is run this badly. The service manager just told me that he has to take care of vehicles that have been sitting there a month to be repaired before he can look at ours. You've got to be kidding me!! There's so much wrong with this.

    Unfortunately this is not a good review. My family and I will NEVER go back to Kolar Toyota in…read moreDuluth, MN. I purchased my vehicle from them a few years ago and always had such a great experience so when my mother started having problems with her car I recommend her to take it to them. What a mistake that was! Let me tell you why. The check engine light was on, it was showing EVAP codes, it was very hard to pump gas into causing the gas pump to click off, when you opened the gas cap you could hear gurgling, and a while driving you could hear a whistling noise. We brought it to Kolar Toyota and they stated code for evap purge valve/evap leak were popping up and that they found damaged lines located between the charcoal cannister and gas tank. Their words straight from the paperwork "Will need lines, suspect possible fuel tank issue, possible future canister failure from debris intrusion will need to fix lines lines/tank and reevaluate". The service advisor we were working with told us that the lines needed to be replaced but that they had to drop the gas tank in order to access the lines and that unless we wanted to risk paying another couple hundred dollars in labor on top of paying for the price of a new gas tank, that we should replace the gas tank now while they had it disconnected. With this information and under the assumption that we would be saving money in the long run, we decided to have it replaced. Over $2,000 later, we go to pick my moms car up and NONE of their repairs or replacements fixed a single problem. We brought her car back to Kolar for the second time and they discover the problem was actually the fuel tank filler neck. When we asked for a refund for the gas tank they replaced for no reason, they refused. We did not ask for a refund for the labor. We just wanted a refund the for gas tank itself. That alone was $874.09! that may not be alot of money for a dealership but it is to my mom! I spoke to the service manager and his reasoning for denying us a refund for the tank was basically that sometimes diagnosis of a vehicle can be a guessing game, that the mechanic has never seen a fuel tank filler neck fail and didn't think to check it and that we okayed the replacement of the tank. YES! WE DID! BECAUSE HAD BEEN CONVINCED THAT THIS WAS PART OF THE ISSUE AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. What would have happened if replacing the fuel tank filler neck had not fixed the problems either?! Would they have kept charging us for unnecessary parts until they found the issue?! If you look it up, the signs of failed fuel tank filler neck include: Check engine light (EVAP codes), difficulty refueling, and hissing sounds. I could have done a better job at diagnosing and fixing my mothers car with Google and a YouTube video! Take your vehicles elsewhere and save yourself time and money! Or fix your vehicle yourself, we wish we would have!

They give snarky remarks and act like you're inconveniencing them when you ask a question about the work done. Not only that. But if you're a female and come in, they will try and put one past you and charge you for stuff you didn't need done or shouldn't be paying for because of warranty.

I showed up on time at 11am, handed the service counter my keys, and went to the waiting area. Over three hours pass without any communication, and then the customer rep comes out and tells me they can't get my wheels to fit, and that I need new center rings and lugs, but that they didn't have any in stock, and that they couldn't source them. What kind of service technician (of 30 years apparently) starts a job without checking fitment first? This is a Subaru Outback mind you, at a Subaru dealership, and they can't get the parts? He apologized and said they were putting my old tires back on and they'd be done shortly. That shortly lasted another hour before he came to tell me one of my tires was being "finicky", he apologized again and said they were almost done. 20 minutes later he finally comes to get me, and in the end I paid over $400 for tires I can't use. But they did give me a free car wash at Kwiktrip! Ooooo They charged me for an incomplete job, wasted my time and money, and now I have to get the work done somewhere else. Never again will I visit this dealership. Horrible service and terrible work ethic.

    My 2015 Nissan Altima had both right rear control arms snap while I was parking last week, and I…read morehad it towed to the Krenzen Nissan dealership. I've never been to this dealership before, as I typically go through another dealership near my hometown, so I was expecting mixed results. They had my car finished in just over one business day without an appointment, and didn't charge me anything for the parts and labor since this is a known issue with Nissan. Additionally, I asked them to check my right front wheel bearing, and they did so without any other fees. I will definitely be coming back here in the future!! Thank you so much Krenzen folks!

    I recently brought my Nissan Frontier to Krenzen Nissan because the ABS and traction control lights…read morewere on, which also disabled my 4x4. I paid $200 for a diagnostic, expecting that a dealership would be able to accurately identify the issue, after my local mechanic could not. I was given a confident diagnosis that the problem was an incorrectly installed wheel speed sensor. Based on that assurance, I scheduled the repair. That's where the experience started to fall apart. I took time off work and drove two hours to the dealership for my appointment, only to be told after I arrived that they didn't have the part and couldn't work on my vehicle. No call, no warning--just a wasted four-hour round trip. I told them during the initial diagnosis that I lived two hours away so you'd think they could have informed me at least at the end of the previous day. I was told I would be given a discount for the inconvenience. The appointment had been scheduled for over a week. I had to leave the car there at the shop for a few days for what was supposed to take a couple of hours, and find rides back and forth to the dealership. When the sensor was finally replaced, I was informed that the replacement did not fix the issue at all. The original problem remained exactly the same, meaning the initial "diagnosis" I paid 200$ for was incorrect. Despite this, I was charged $1,200 ($400 more than the original estimate) because the job supposedly took longer than expected. This was not run by me at any point prior to me coming to pick up the vehicle. So to summarize: I paid more than quoted for a repair that didn't fix the problem, based on a diagnosis that turned out to be wrong. When I raised concerns, I was told there was no flexibility on the bill and that a service manager would call me the following Monday. That call never came. This experience shows a complete lack of communication, accountability, and diagnostic accuracy. Dealerships charge a premium because customers expect expertise and reliable service. In this case, I received neither. I would strongly caution anyone considering bringing their vehicle here for diagnostic or repair work. This is also the only negative review I have ever written but have felt strongly compelled to do so from this totally negative experience.
