Called this place and they said that if I could limp my car there right now they could squeeze me in, and take a look at my car. They looked at it, and were able to get it repaired and ready for pick up the next day in time for me to go to work. They also gave me an accurate quote so I wasn't surprised with the bill. All in all, I highly recommend if you have car troubles.

They are very honest about what work is necessary and what work is optional (unlike other places that act like everything is urgent in order to get you spend more money). I brought my car in the other day after a brake line broke and told them that I needed it two days later to go out of town. Even though they were completely booked, they made a point to find time for my car because they knew I needed it back soon. Their prices are as good as you'll find in town. I am a loyal Auto Medics customer and highly recommend them!

I'm from out of state and have brought my truck in here twice. Both times everything went great and…read morethe people were friendly and communicated well. They also could have easily had me replace some parts I thought might be bad for over $1500, but they said I could probably wait a while, so I only ended up paying them $30 for a separate inspection. Not upselling customers on stuff they don't need is a fine quality in a mechanic, so I felt like it earned a positive review!

January 2025 my daughter took her Ford Explorer in for a nail in a tire. While in the shop the…read moretechnician filled out an unexpected estimate sheet on all the work that was felt needed to be done to the SUV. Mind you this same SUV had been gone over for safety prior to the school year exactly 1 month earlier on 12/23/24 by a friend and owner of a well respected auto shop in Excelsior MN outside of MPLS and was given a clean bill of health. The only complaints for the SUV was a known nail in the passenger front tire of which they charged an acceptable $26.99. What was "found" during the visit was the need to Remove and Replace both front lower Control Arms $986.32, Computerized 4 wheel alignment $159.95 and Remove and replace Valve Cover Gasket $757.88 for a total of $2093.27. We drove to Duluth and took the SUV to another auto shop and that shop was given the estimate sheet from 4th Street Auto as kind of a "cheat sheet" to guide them on what possibly needed to be repaired. After a full day of driving to and from Duluth and the expense of another car exam the final diagnosis was.....none of those suggested repairs were needed. I would personally suggest using caution if you are a young female student or anyone with no car knowledge taking your car in for repairs to this establishment.

However they thought it was spark plugs. When i went to pick up the car they informed me it couldn't be picked up because they didnt realiize the didnt order coils.That was the first delay. . After spark plugs failed to make a difference, they then agreed it was probably the fuel injectors. For a period of 4 to 6 weeks they kept the car and informed me that they though they were trying every day they couldn't locate fuel injectors. I finally became so frustrated that I searched for them and found them in one phone call. Things got worse though, when they installed the fuel injectors for what they told it was going to be $1500 and then me an additional $700 with no explanation. When I point that out,they took the $700 off, with no explanation as to why the overcharge was there in the first place. They had also represented that they would keep this collector car in the garage while they were holding it ,but they clearly never did ,as it was clearly dirty from several rains, and more importantly there were several stains on the door upholstery from the mechanic getting in and out. This is the worst experience I've ever had with any auto repair shop, and having car disease that has led me to purchase many older cars over the years I have dealt with several.

Ed said over the phone if I showed up, they'd help us do everything. Appointment wasn't officially scheduled until 2:28 for that 12 appointment which makes 0 sense unless you're a time traveler. They put a new tire on and disposed of the old one for $107. I had to do everything else out front on my own, in the snow/sleet. They helped get the lug nuts to torque spec for free at least, when I pulled around. But, I feel I should've been deducted the labor charge after all of that and only paid for the tire itself. I get that you're busy, but it seems painfully obvious that you're prioritizing higher paying clients and not an emergency who needs to drive another 180 miles to get home. Thanks, but no thanks.
