He suggested critical repairs and fixed what needed to be fixed at a great price. I know my mechanics growing up with 4 brothers and this guy is a blessing! I recommend him to anyone who wants it done right and at a fair price! He has integrity and in a sea of repair places that are out for a buck that is a rare thing! Thank you Tyler and the team at Braaten's! You are our new favorite mechanic and person!

In my opinion, these are the most trustworthy and honest mechanics in the area. We were referred to…read moreGateway back in 2008 and have never had an unpleasant experience. On multiple occasions I have brought a vehicle in to have an issue checked and was told nothing needed attention and wasn't charged a dime. Just yesterday I found an unsettling pool of oil under my vehicle in my garage. I dropped it off this morning using their drop box and had it repaired and ready to pick up shortly after noon. Best of all, I was told since I had just had the vehicle in a few weeks ago for tires and brakes that there was no charge for this repair! I've always been made to feel like a valued customer and never being taken advantage of. Having routine maintenance such as an oil change done here has always been to my benefit (side note: their price for an oil change is comparable to those quick lube places and just as fast if you make an appointment). First, it's assuring having an excellent mechanic looking over my vehicle. Second, if there are a few issues found I can always count on an honest opinion as to its urgency. I never feel pressured into thousands of dollars of maintenance after a simple oil change. Fast, professional, honest, and courteous! Everything I've had worked on has been repaired without issue. I leave the lot relieved that my vehicle has been taken care of correctly, My family will be customers for life!

So this is bittersweet, the long time owner and proprietor, Paul Helgeson, is forced to sell Odin's…read moredue to some health problems. It's sad, Paul is the BEST mechanic in Grand Forks. There's nary problem he can't fix. He is an old school nuts and bolts mechanic. You're not going to see walls of fancy equipment telling you what the problem is. You're going to see wrenches, impact drivers, sockets, screwdrivers and the like. He's one of those guys that can listen to your car and tell you what's wrong. Like all mechanics, he's got busted knuckles, a bad back and miles of scar tissue. He kept thousands of vehicles that were long overdue for the junkyard on the road. His customer base ranged from the richest people in Grand Forks to the people like me who lived paycheck to paycheck. He treats everyone like they are his best friend. 124 Belmont Road is a little slice of heaven, it's sad it's a forced retirement but Paul has worked 15 hour days and sometimes more to keep his customers happy. As the son of a mechanic with 50 years+ experience, I can safely say that Paul is one of the most respected people in automotive business in North Dakota, scratch that North America.

Had my vehicle towed to this place. IT sat for 2 days with no word from the mechanic. When he was…read morecontacted all, we kept getting was he hasn't had a chance to look at it. We took everything off so that they could get to the part to replace it. It should have taken only a couple of hours. Called on the second day, received some excuse that he has not had a chance to look at it and would not be able to until Monday afternoon. That is having my vehicle for 5 days before it is even looked at. Pathetic, unreliable, and not trust worthy. I will be bringing it somewhere else. This company does not deserve my business or hard earned money. Once he looked at it almost a week later, was told other things were wrong and needed replaced. Received a call 2 days later, went to pick up the vehicle, and it magically worked fine. Brought it to another mechanic shop to hook it up to the computer, there was nothing wrong with it. Plus, he did NOT lock my doors and over 200.00 worth of things were stolen. All the owner could do was shrug his shoulders and state, well this is a shotty neighborhood.

Biggest problem, however, was that they left my starter partially disconnected so I'd have trouble with it, then had the nerve to tell me that my starter was bad and needed to be replaced. I found someone else to replace it and that person found the bad connection. No new starter or parts needed and it's been working fine ever since. The owner is misogynistic and incredibly disrespectful of any customer concerns. I tell anyone who will listen to avoid this place like the plague!
