They grabbed my keys and had it up in the air before I even left the lot with my ride. They communicated clearly and efficiently via cell phone, explaining what areas needed attention, how much everything would cost, and whether they could complete the work that evening. About 30 minutes later, they called back to say it was already finished. The customer service, especially from Liam he was phenomenal, and the pricing was very competitive. Overall, an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Great Bear!

To top it off, the last time I was in, I heard one of the female employees offer to drive an older gentleman back to his house so he didn't have to sit there all day long. Seriously, the warmest folks ever. Their prices are a bit higher than elsewhere, but it is justified by their quality of work, communication, and kindness. They will inform you of any issues they identify on your car but are not at all pushy about getting the work done there. I'm not religious and was originally worried that I might feel uncomfortable coming here, but it's been nothing but a positive experience all around!

Instead of doing the work I asked for, they convinced me to let them replace all the brakes, even though they themselves had done the other side just seven months ago. The pricing was already higher than expected, but what really pushed it over the edge was the added 3% credit card fee. When I questioned it, I was told it was a fee from the credit card company. That is simply not true. It is a fee they chose to pass on. Be honest about it. Customers can handle the truth. We do not appreciate being misled. On top of that, the attitude was dismissive and disrespectful. If you are going to charge premium prices, at least treat people like they matter. I walked away feeling overcharged, talked down to, and frustrated. There are plenty of auto shops around Richfield. This is not one I would recommend.

I brought my car to Autopia in Bloomington after my check engine light came on because the dealership I normally use was fully booked. Autopia was able to get me in right away. I explained that we had already run a diagnostic and provided the codes. Later that day they told me those were "old codes" and that I needed an oil flush. I paid over $600, picked up my car, and the check engine light came back on as soon as I got on the interstate. I returned the car the next day and was told I needed a timing chain and that the repair would cost over $12,000. The manager also warned me not to expect my warranty to cover much of it and said I should be prepared to pay a lot out of pocket. When the warranty company sent an inspector, they approved $6,100. The inspector explained that Autopia's estimate was significantly higher than what they typically see and that the labor alone was over $4,500 when it should have been closer to $2,500. When my husband asked Autopia for a detailed breakdown of the charges, they refused and would only provide the total. At that point I decided to rescue my car and bring it to the dealership, and I'm very glad I did. The dealership determined the real issue was the engine, not the timing chain. If I had stayed at Autopia, I could have spent thousands on a repair that would not have fixed the problem. They had also missed a large hole in one of the hoses, which the dealership immediately pointed out. The engine replacement ended up costing $9,200, and my warranty covered 100% of the repair. I only paid my deductible. Unfortunately, I still paid Autopia over $600 for an oil flush that the dealership later said was unnecessary. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this shop.
