It's been two weeks since inspection and claim being reviewed by mgmt, no word yet.

As someone with prior customer service experience I am always extremely patient with anyone in a…read morecustomer facing position. Still, Pep Boys has a special way of getting under my skin which is such a bummer! Because this shop is huge and close to where I live it comes to mind first when I need air in my tires, car inspections, or other quick service that can't wait. What I can't understand is why I keep going back when the service is so disappointing. The other day we were planning on going for a drive and realized my boyfriend needed an oil change. We didn't want to drive a ton before changing the oil so we stopped into Pep Boys to see if they could help. We spent 5 minutes standing in front of the guy behind the service desk staring at him before he acknowledged us. Then, once he started helping us he didn't seem to know what he was talking about and suggested the wrong type of oil. Finally, in the middle of talking to us he took a phone call. Needless to say we walked out and won't be returning. I gave two stars because they did put air in my tires and get my Lyft inspection done quickly on a separate occasion. I just can't get over how I always feel like an inconvenience as a customer even when I don't need anything that requires much work on their end. I really hope that eventually Pep Boys becomes a place people feel comfortable and welcome walking into.

Very happy I gave this mechanic shop a try. Vehicles are out of my personal knowledge base so I…read moretypically have my husband make decisions with me. After bringing my Trailblazer here I would feel completely comfortable making the decisions on my own. (see photos) They give a comprehensive file with pictures and additional insight to the problems, which is extremely helpful. There were a few questions I had about a couple recommended issues and Pete (who completed my inspection report) was able to clarify them with ease and honesty, so I was able to save money on not having to do that repair. It was more of a riding comfort suggestion so it wasn't a big deal since it doesn't bother me. I received a link to the reports via text and e-mail. For the estimate, you can go down the list, which included each cost, and just click "approve" if you want it done which is very convenient when you are at home. If you have questions call! Like I said above they are very easy to talk to and there was never any feel of pressure. Being pregnant during COVID is a concern but the inside was very clean including the shuttle service vehicle and I was very comfortable being there. They have a drink station there or Dunkin Donuts is next door. I also thought it was neat that they have a big picture window with bar height stools and counter that you can watch the mechanics in the shop. I don't think I've ever seen that before. After the repairs, I called around for other pricing estimates and CBA was around what others were. Some areas were less and some were slightly more. One being the fluid flushes. CBA was about $20-30 more expensive. I am a fairly frugal but I would still choose here versus saving $20 somewhere else, especially if you are getting other work done which could equal out the total price. Plus, you have the photos to prove why the repair needs to be done versus someone basically telling you to trust them.. This is now our first choice for automotive repairs. Good job Christian Brothers Auto, you exceeded my expectations.

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 took it to another shop, explained the issue and the mechanic said I think I know what it is. $45 later and the car was working as expected.

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'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!
