He told me it was a vehicle they did work on and kept when the owner refused to pay. In fact, it was a trade in. He told me the timing chain had been replaced. In fact, I found a bird's nest on it when I changed it myself. What he did not tell me was that the frame was rusted through under the bed. It collapsed when I was rear ended, resulting in a significant brain injury with lasting effects. My son does not remember pre-TBI daddy. If I had adequate legal representation at the time, I would be 7 figures richer from their insurance policy. The amount, and quality, of intentional misrepresentation committed - not allegedly committed, actually committed and I have the receipts - by this dealership violate Deceptive Trade Practices (Minn. Stat. § 325D.43), the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act (Minn. Stat. § 325F.69). I reached out to the dealer long ago. They didn't care. I posted a review. They said contact the dealership, so I did. They didn't respond. Show me a dealership not staffed by sociopaths. I'll wait.

It will be a half hour to fix they told us. An hour and a half later they still had not come to tell us it was done so we asked what was the deal. Was told mechanics went to lunch.....really you don't finish job before you go so we had to wait! Than came the bill.....DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE GM EXTENDED WARRANTY. Plus when asked to explain bill the service department manager could not explain why it was what it was....now that's the service department manager mind you! Terrible service!! We will take our business else where and I can assure you we will not be repeat customers to this dealership! So beware and be warned!!

Update: really happy with the work done here! Dropped the price by $20 when I had to use a separate form of payment for the balance and said "don't worry about the rest." That's standup service! Really saved me from freezing my butt off in Minnesota this winter! And money was tight and very much appreciated them dropping the balance. The repair work two weeks later is great!

My husband had taken some things there in the past for electrical type issues, so we were slightly familiar with their good reputation. But, I'll tell ya what! Josh greeted me when I stopped on my way to work one morning after my check engine light came on. He was SUPER friendly, helpful, and had one of his mechanics come out to immediately put the scanner on it. He got me scheduled very quickly. He told me I could have a loaner car when I dropped my vehicle off, which was much appreciated since we live 25 miles out of town. They diagnosed the problem and had it repaired the following day. He checked with my vehicle warranty (which I could only use at the dealership out of town) - but we were so impressed with how helpful they were, so we paid the extra money to have Automotive Electric do the work. If you are looking for a hassle-free small-town friendly auto shop, Automotive Electric is the place to go! Ask for Josh! He'll take great care of you! Chrissy M.

The one thing that stands out for me with them seems to be the guy who looked at my car about two summers ago. Our car's check engine light came on and began stuttering while we were in the Target parking lot. If you depressed the gas pedal it would run fine so it seemed to be an issue when the car was idling. We took it here and they gave us possibilities of what could be the issue and said they'd look at it. About 15 minutes later a man comes out holding one of the spark plug wires and let us know that one of the connections has some moisture in it. Stated he would clean up the wire for free and only charge for taking a look at it. This is the only automotive business that I have had a positive experience with since I moved up here in 2003. I hope that when I gave this employee warm praise to his supervisor he was commended for it as this seems to be a very rare trait to find in this town.. Edit: Spelling
