Slim's Auto Repair - Anoka, MN…read more Slim's came highly recommended by a close family friend, Dave Marrs -- a man who, even after moving away from Anoka, still drives back just to have Slim's work on his vehicles. That alone told me everything I needed to know about the kind of trust and loyalty this shop inspires. I showed up at Slim's tired, stressed, and honestly just needing someone real -- someone who'd talk to me like a human being, not a problem to rush through. I'd been through enough breakdowns lately (cars and otherwise), and I needed honest communication, fair pricing, and a genuine sense of care. Slim's delivered all of that and more. They explained what needed to be done without condescension or fluff, kept me updated, and finished my "blower motor surgery" along with a few other diagnostics quickly and efficiently. When I picked up my car, I slid into the driver's seat, turned the key, and just knew. You know that feeling -- when the engine hums smooth and steady, and your gut says, "She's good." That's the Slim's difference. It's not just about fixing cars; it's about restoring trust -- in the work, in people, and in the idea that good businesses still exist. Slim's Auto earned not just my five stars, but my respect, gratitude, and repeat business for life. -- Christina Evers #AnokaMN #AutoRepair #FiveStarService #HonestMechanic #CustomerForLife

I hesitate to tell others because these guys are my secret auto service guys. Kidding aside, the…read morecrew at Slim's is the greatest. They are so honest, they'll tell you when you don't need something done to save you money. They don't try to "upsell" everything by telling you 20 other things you should have them do to your vehicle. They will tell you if something truly needs attention though. They have always done super high quality work, and at a very fair price with good turnaround time. They are prompt with communication and never go silent. All around, this is the best place I have ever used. I put my trust in them with all my vehicles, and they never disappoint. You can't go wrong here.

Stopped in Monday for an oil change. I had received a city welcome packet of Welcome to the…read moreNeighborhood coupons, and they had provided a free oil change. It's just a small lobby w three chairs but it's all windows/doors so lots of light & see what's going on outside. Ciara is at the desk....and... what a peach is she!!! We talked my entire visit, sharing trauma stories...about cars, it made the time fly by. When I brought in my truck I asked that they check for a leak as someone said there was spots after I left. Much to my disappointment I was parked outside in WI in January during that freezing cold snap.... it cracked my oil filter housing... to the repair tune of $1400!!! She said in the roughly 11 weeks since it happened I'd lost 1.5 quarts of oil. So basically, nothing I want to delay getting fixed!! When you call, you have to leave a message and be called back. The call back isn't a delayed response though. Thanks, no thanks (ha) Coon Rapids Service for the thorough and quick service. Ciara for the delightful service and conversation!

I have been coming here for 15+ years, covering three cars, two Hondas and a Mazda, since Como…read moreImports ceased to exist, and since I got ripped off by no less than three other area service providers. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...The level of professionalism is second to none. They aren't cheap, no business that is worth their salt ever is, but they are honest and thorough, the quality of the work is top notch, and the level of knowledge about pretty much any automobile issue that Ciara displays is just astonishing. And yes, Ciara really is just about the nicest person I know, and that matters. Customer service is getting to be a lost art but CR Service has it down pat, and that also matters. Loaners, rides home in the dead of winter (I live close), it's all there. Honesty in the car repair biz is hit and miss, and this is a business that is a hit. Highly recommended.

When buying a used car you need to have them inspected. The first car I brought in needed a new oil pan & the tires were going to need to be replaced. Andy's didn't recommend getting that car. The used car dealership didn't care. So, I walked. Found another car and after just looking at the Carfax report they didn't recommend it. Third time was the charm. Brought the car in, they could not find anything wrong with it. Then they pulled the Kelley Blue Book recommended pricing & told me where to start with the negotiations. The dealer met me in the middle on the discount. We took care of the paperwork and she has a car.

I have a 2015 Audi Q5 I brought in to Andy's Service because the CV joint broke open. I know Audis aren't mechanic's favorites, but Josh was up for it! He worked on my car and it was done efficiently and at a reasonable price! His communication about pricing and procedure was top tier! I dropped off my car the night before because it worked better for my schedule, the key drop off process was easy. And when I picked up, the people at the desk were also lovely. This shop deserves all the praise! Thank you!

Husband took his truck in last night, they said they would have it done same day, however when he called them back just before closing, they hadn't done anything with it. One of the workers told them they were busy playing hacky sack in the shop and wouldn't be taking any cars after 5:30! They quoted him $800 and it quickly went to $2,600 and the possbly $3,900 however they STILL hadn't looked at it! On top of that he was told it would be ready same day then when he followed up, they said it would be ready the next day, then he followed up again and they told him it would be four days! Management offered $100 off and a rental car for the inconvenience but when we asked ti speak to his Manager he said he couldn't share that information and his hands were tied. Well we understand car repairs are not cheap we also understand the importance of honesty and commnication! We told them we would be picking the truck up to take it somewhere else and they told us it was already ready for us. Interesting how that's possible when they said that it was completely torn apart. This experience was one blunder after another! Hoping for a better experience at the next place...rant over; enjoy your weekend all! We have been doing business with this company for over 10 years and have enjoyed working with them. However, the new group of management and employees seems to be worthless. Filed a claim with headquarters, but don't expect to hear anything from them on that either. Two days no vehicle and now moving onto to the next place.

This is the ONLY shop I ever bring my automobiles in for repairs PERIOD!!!…read more I've never had such honest, affordable and yes, FAST service as I've experienced here. I trust them with all my vehicles and know I am not getting any FAST one being pulled on me like I've felt places elsewhere. I am always pleased about the service received and dollar spent even when not always happy with the auto issue itself. I've had everything from transmission replacement to ball joints, shocks & struts, brakes, AC, Janky Chevy door handles fixed, various check engine diagnosis' and other repairs to regularly needed oil changes. Like cars do, they need TLC and their components do not last forever and require work and upkeep. And every time something is needed, there is ZERO question where my ride will be repaired. For me, it's a no brainer and I recommend this place to anyone who wants to be treated like a friend or family member with honesty and respect and to just want to be back on the road, feel good and safe again and not have to take out a second mortgage God bless honest shops like this and keep up the great work Brian, Gabe and team!

Not only did they explain it... they let me look for myself while the car was on the lift. Definitely reassured me that my decision to get a second opinion was the right one.
