He gave a very reasonable price compared to other shops, and he seemed trustworthy (didn't try to upsell or pressure for more stuff). He worked with me to use some of my special parts without fuss. Easy to communicate with. I will definitely return when I need some more work done, it's nice to find a good independent place instead of a corporate shop.

I would never recommend this place to anyone. Nick is a lier and falsifies work that he never did…read more He told me that he changed my radiator, my starter and my alternator. He did nothing of the sorts. The radiator was the same one that I installed in 2025, and put zip ties of the reservoir. if he changed the radiator, why did he not replace the zip ties with screws. the serial number matched all these parts he claimed to have replaced. he cracked my fuel rail, and he had no business messing with that at all, he was just to put in a manifold gasket. He lied about so much and tried to charge me $6,000.00. Fuck him....

I had an unfortunate experience during what should have been a basic oil change on my F-150. The…read moreservice included a brake inspection, and my wheels have security lugs. I was told I needed new rear brakes, so I planned to replace them myself on Saturday, 12/29/25. When I went to start the job, my security socket was nowhere to be found. So much for my Saturday project. The shop was closed for the weekend, so I couldn't resolve it. I met with the owner, Dan, on Monday. He ordered a new set of security lugs in hopes that the key would work. It did not. The tech had misplaced my original key during the brake inspection. Needless to say, it was a major inconvenience--and I didn't receive so much as an apology from the owner. This was my experience as a first-time customer. A $50-off coupon will not bring back my business.

Words truly cannot describe how much I appreciate and love Ray's Car Shop! As a woman, finding a…read moretrustworthy car shop has always felt like a nightmare--you never know how you'll be treated or if someone will try to take advantage. From the very first visit, everyone at Ray's made me feel welcomed, respected, and valued. Katie at the front desk is such a breath of fresh air. She's incredibly kind, transparent, and upfront about everything she knows. She never tries to upsell or pressure customers into unnecessary work, which is so rare in this industry. Her honesty alone gave me confidence that I was in the right place. I originally came in with my 2017 Mercedes AMG after becoming completely frustrated with the regular Mercedes dealership. Their outrageous quotes and unnecessary suggestions made it clear that their only priority was money, not the customer. After doing a ton of research, I decided to take a chance on Ray's--even though it meant driving all the way from Bloomington, MN--and I am so glad I did! Ray himself is one of the most genuine and meticulous mechanics I've ever met. He was honest with me about what needed to be done, careful with my car as if it were his own, and never once made me feel pressured. The entire experience was so positive that I immediately started recommending Ray's Car Shop to everyone I know. Now, I don't just bring my Mercedes here--I also trust Ray and his team with my Toyota. That says a lot, because once you find a shop this reliable and sincere, you stick with them for life. I can't thank Ray and his team enough for their honesty, professionalism, and the peace of mind they've given me. If you're looking for a car shop that truly cares about you and your vehicle, Ray's is the place to go!

Ray is the only guy in town who I will trust with my Chevy Duramax/Allison pickup. He is…read morecompetent, incredibly honest, and always keeps you in the loop. His pricing is competitive. I've been his customer for a number of years, and every job he's done on my truck has been top notch. I have a story to emphasize his honesty. I recently had a few "nagging issues" that I asked him to estimate for me. One of the issues, a loss of fluid problem, was initially estimated well north of a $1,500 dollars to fix. The truck has over 300,000 miles on the clock, so you sort of expect those things, but this one was "one I could live with", so I deferred that repair until my budget would allow. Meanwhile Ray had the truck for another issue "in the vicinity" of that loss of fluid problem. Contrary to his original diagnosis, his other work around that problem area uncovered a hidden loosened tubing connector. A couple of wrench turns (free gratis), and we're able to discard that expensive estimate. I've been in shops before where I might have never been informed of that discovery, and would have paid for the original estimate.

I have been going to Worku at Great Brakes and never had any issues. However, the last time I went…read morein to the shop was for an oil change, new alternator, and an overall check on the vehicle. When I picked up my truck they said they checked everything and completed what they needed to. That same day I got an engine knock and took it to a mechanic in the area I was in. He let me know there was barely any oil in my truck and my engine was shot. When I asked Robel about it (Workus son) he stated they forgot to take care of the oil. When I asked Worku how he plans on fixing it he basically threw me out of the shop. I took a 24k hit and they did not care at all. If you go this shop do yourself a favor and document everything!!!

Fortunately, Motomaxx was able to get me in the next day and is conveniently close to the dealership where the car was. They also charged far less than some other nearby places. I came with a book, prepared to wait a while. They have a small lounge area, but the seating is comfortable and there is a tiny fireplace, nice to have on a cold rainy day, I was almost disappointed they finished with the car so quickly! They said that was partly because it was in such good shape that there wasn't a lot to investigate, so very good news. The other thing I noticed was that I was treated with respect and given a rundown of the results. This has not always been my experience as an older female at other places. If I lived in this area , I would probably become a regular.
