The communication between the shops and customer is also a huge benefit. Chris, the Service Manager, converted pertinent information to me regarding two scheduled repairs one 1 1/2 week time period. The estimate was exactly what was quoted...no surprises. Their price point for repairs are very reasonable. My son also has selected Advanced Auto Repair for his automotive repairs.

I would not recommend buying a vehicle from Mills Honda. I bought a used 2013 CRV. Came with a 6…read moremonth 6000 warranty that covered nothing. Been in and out of their shop since bought. Engine light came on and off also TPMS (which they did fix) the first week I had it and now back in after 2 and half months engine light is on again supposedly they figured out what it was BUT it will cost over $400 out of my pocket (even though have warranty they offered) just to get where the problem is and to see where it's leaking then plus the parts to fix but don't worry they make it sound like they are easing your mind having this warranty. Do not take their warranty they offer and make sure you get everything wrote down. I feel like I got taken advantage of, they do have great salesmen they make you believe they are way better than mom and pop shop and they are far from it. Service manager is NOT easy to deal with. Does not reply to voicemails, my car sat there for a week I ended up stopping there and talking to connor the salesman who sold me the car to help get an answer. If you buy from them make sure it's brand new (factory warranty) or lease you might be ok BUT I guarantee I will never buy from them or recommend them. Which they just lost out on possible two more car sales considering parents are looking and soon to be 16yr old. Just don't want anybody else to deal with this headache. Lesson learned the hard way.

I keep wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it isn't worth it. Took my car in for an…read moreoil gasket change and to check why the check engine light was coming on. When I picked up the car, they ran the diagnostics for the check engine light. The codes were listed on my invoice but nothing was really checked. They just cleared the codes. Then the service manager tells me he took the car for a 5 mile ride to make sure it was okay but when he was driving the VSA light and the triangle light came on. Didn't say anything about checking out why this happened. Told me to drive it awhile and maybe they will go off. What service place sends you home with warning lights still showing on the vehicle? I don't really think this place knows how to repair cars. I told them I would more than likely be calling on Monday to make yet another appointment and the service manager said, "no problem, we won't charge you for another diagnostic check". I would hope not. They should have fixed everything before I left. I was so taken aback I didn't know what to do. Yes, I should have demanded they repair the car then and there. However, it was Friday at 5:00 and I believe their mechanics had already left for the day. They have had more service managers in the short time we have been taking in our car. I'm in the market for a new car and love Honda but knowing how this place operates makes me realize this is not the place to purchase a new car. If their sales force is like their service people, how could you justify buying a car from them? Honda called to check on our satisfaction of service and my husband told them what happened. They said they would call on Monday. So far no phone call. We will be calling them today. Anyone know of a good mechanic that is reliable and works on Hondas?

I stopped at a parts store in hopes of getting a referral and was sent to Watt Automotive. I took the vehicle to them on Monday morning, explained my issue and time constraint. The staff (front desk, service mgr., and mechanic) all listened and responded positively to my vacation issues, time constraints and varied concerns. Apparently my issue was pretty unique and they had to consult with their online mechanic chat community to find a solution. They took the time and extra effort to diagnosis, explain and resolve my problem quickly. We were able to enjoy our vacation with a loaner car and minimal inconvenience. Watt Automotive is a first class auto service provider and went above and beyond to help me with my 'unique' problems and requests.

My daughter's Cadillac XT5 was losing contact with the key fob and would not start. We had them reprogram the keys in the past . My daughter works long hours -early to late., and needs the car for work. She called Brent Mackcow (service manager) and they discussed a receiver that can go wrong beyond the key transmitters. Brent goes above and beyond to help you. He ordered it, sent emails/texts outlining what ordered and when it arrived -next day. My daughter was able to drop it off early -before hours, and they got right on it. It took a couple of hours, and when done they even drove to Nisswa to pick her up. She did not have to rent a car. We also recently bought another XT5 from James in sales. It was a special optioned version and we really like it. Dondelingers has been great to deal with and we will be customers for years to come.
