I read the reviews and had high hopes for this mechanic. I brought my car in to help diagnose a…read moresquealing belt and fix this issue. I dropped it off on a Thursday and received no update until I called them the following Monday. They told me my car was ready to go and they had tried to call that Friday however I have no missed call or voicemail. When I picked up my car they said their technician couldn't recreate the issue and my belts are fine. Unfortunately I had to take my keys, and drop off my rental before coming back to take my car afterhours. I should have started it up when I got my keys because after returning immediately the squealing was present and only got worse after I drove. I left them a voicemail immediately asking them to call me back so we can resolve this issue. A full week has passed with no word from them. TLDR: I paid $107 for an oil change I didn't ask for, my issue was unresolved, and they need to get their ears checked because my belt is still singing!

I had an amazing experience with this auto shop after bringing in my truck for a new engine and…read moreheadlight replacement. From start to finish, everyone was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. The cost was very reasonable, and they even offer military discounts, which I really appreciated. The owner was very hands-on throughout the entire process. He kept me updated every step of the way, notified me immediately if any issues came up, and always had solutions ready whenever there was a setback. That level of communication and honesty made a stressful situation so much easier. I also interacted with several of the mechanics, and every one of them was knowledgeable, respectful, and friendly. When my truck's motor was close to blowing a rod, I was extremely stressed and worried about being without my vehicle, but this team truly helped calm my nerves and made the whole transition smooth and manageable. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the work they did or the customer service they provided. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and caring mechanics.

The local…read moreshop completely tore the car about and was unable to fix the issue, they sent i to thunder rays to repaire problem. Thunder rays was very courteous the whole time and worked as quick as possible to correct the issue. Thunder rays even went out of their way to talk to the other repair shop to get them to foot the bill for the issues they created when they tried to fix the car in the first place. Saved her from having to pay a potentially enormous bill, saved alot of money! Will absolutely be returning and will tell others to come here with any vehicle issues!

I had a busted valve and there was a screw in the tire. Worrying that I might be stuck with a huge bill, the friendly staff explained that it would only cost $28 total to patch the flat and install a new valve. Wow. Not only was service outstanding, but the price was low and everything about my experience here went above and beyond expectation. I explained that I was on a road trip to Canada and needed the problem fixed and they gave me a great deal with no hassle or gimmicks. I scanned over their prices on tires out of curiosity and they were very competitive as well. Highly recommended!

Red River Auto, or "Gordy's", as people that frequent it know it as, is a diamond in the rough when…read moreit comes to auto shops. Since I was introduced to Gordy's a few years ago it's the only place I've gone to for car care. I've never felt my vehicle was in better hands, and they leave you with the impression that they care about giving you a good deal and not charging you to fix anything you don't need done. They have always been good about timely service as well, whether it's a scheduled appointment to get something fixed, or an emergency fix. In personal experience I've had to be towed to Gordy's twice when my car died, and they've sent me on my way fixed up later that same day.

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.

I took an older ride there, that I just wanted drains and/or flushes done, I was told all types of things were wrong, the first professional car opinion did not state. I was told from the get go that draining transmission fluid was going to be much cheaper than flushing it, and was quoted about $80. Then when I refused to replace the dangerous steering rack issue, the price somehow jumped to $120, they said they made a mistake. I thought that's convenient. During this time, while waiting for pricing and diagnosis, 2 customers came in and paid their bills. Each person was forced to pay about $400-$600 (1 even asked why the price had changed). Maybe an average price per head? With the fix above plus my drains would have come to $480. I refused that "service", but it seems others were not. With all Mechanics know your car and be able to self diagnosis things like steering shakes, battery issues vs alternator, pump noises, whinny breaks. Don't be taken advantage of. Don't spend your money here. There is much better in Grand Forks, ND!
