Proceed with CAUTION Under new ownership…read more... This is no longer the family owned customer first Skips auto that your friends may have told you about. This business has now been purchased by Golden Valkey Tire. I brought my personal vehicle here right after the transition, before I realized what was different. I had a fine experience and got quoted slightly above competitors for some repairs. The experience was reasonable overall, although I did feel like everyone behind the front desk was really judging me for not wanting to proceed with some repair options that I were presented to me. I came back a few weeks later with company vehicles since my employer had used this place in the past, and the vibe had deteriorated so much more. This truly is a Golden Valley Tire owned operation and it's not good. Things went wrong from the scheduling of the appointment. The person on the other end of the line was completely fumbling through the system and muttering to himself. He couldn't figure out how to get things to save even. Of course he didn't tell me that though, so when I showed up there was no appointment. I gave them the simple instruction to give the vehicle an oil change so that it would be ready to pick up later. They emailed me a full inspection report which was thorough and detailed, but guess what? They didn't do the oil change. I guess they wanted some sort of approval, but it was a busy work day and if I tell them it's the only reason for my visit I expect it to get done and the vehicle to be ready when I come to pick it up. This place is a mess right now. I hope they can find a way to improve, I understand transitions can be hard, but...proceed with caution if you're considering being a customer here.

John the rude and incompetent manager: I've been going to…read moreCarX in Robbinsdale for 20 years for repairs to my work van. 7/28/25, I brought it in and met John, the manager for new tires and to find an AC leak. He filled the van with freon but failed to find the leak and said to bring it back if there were more problems. When I went to pick up the van it was undriveable as antifreeze was leaking from the van (it never had leaked before). John refused to take responsibility for the leak and said the radiator must have failed coincidentally while they were working on it. The van had work 4 weeks earlier and John suggested that it was probably damaged four weeks earlier when I had the struts replaced with a different mechanic. I think that's ridiculous that antifreeze would just start leaking four weeks later when they happen to be working on it. I had questions but did not pursue the issue further and had to pay for a new radiator. The freon continued to leak and I brought it in 3 more times over the summer for the same issue. On September 26th I brought the van in in the morning for the 3rd time and John called back at 3:00 pm told me we'd have to reschedule as they were too busy, even though I had an appointment, and my van had been there all day (cost me $25 in Uber fees for no reason) 10/3/25, I returned for my 4th and final appointment to have the AC leak repaired. After a full day, John explained that they found the leak finally, but that they still would not be able to fix it that day as they needed parts, and he suggested that I get the parts myself as it would be cheaper. I had the feeling John was unable to deal with this issue and was blowing me off. I asked John if he would fill the freon again, as after 4 failed attempts and paying $200 to fix the issue, it was still blowing warm air. John became angry and suddenly hung up on me! I was taken aback and called him back immediately. I said we must have been cut off, and he said stated: "No, I hung up on you, and to be honest I really don't ever want to do business with you again". He said I blamed them for the radiator leak earlier in the year (even though I really hadn't and dropped the issue that day). He said he'd fill the freon again but to never come back! I did get upset and raised my voice and expressed my displeasure with his total incompetence, and rude behavior. I picked up my van that day and the issue I paid for (leaking AC) remains unresolved to this day. I don't think it was unreasonable to ask for freon again, considering the circumstances. I've never been so insulted before in dealing with a business. I suggest you just go to another place for service on your vehicle and save the hassle or risk similar incompetence and rude behavior. (Note: The other "technicians", were very kind, professional, and nice people. John clearly was the problem) Post Owner Response addition) 1st: I dropped my van off in the AM, John, your rude incompetent manager called me AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE and told me the antifreeze started leaking AFTER THE WORK! I didn't stay there during repairs and the van WAS NOT leaking and never had prior to dropping it off 6 hours earlier with your worthless and incompetent workers. So let's put that nonsense to rest NOW. 2nd: I paid you to find an AC leak. Your idiots are too incompetent to do that so they just kept refilling it (3 times total after 4 trips) because had you fixed it the 1st time, you wouldn't have had to refill the Freon an additional 2 times RIGHT ? I suggest you and your incompetent boys find another line of business, and that customers find somewhere else.

Like most people who own older cars, I anticipate that it's going to break down and need some…read morerepair every now and again. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to anticipate when said need for repair will arise. Thus, I'm panicked when suddenly something leaks, breaks or makes the car inoperable. At Honest 1, I was able to get my car in without an appointment. They also offered to call a tow truck for my car if I needed. During the process, I spoke to the same person Start to finish. He was available for my questions and he charged about what I believe is typical for the industry. There was one drawback. The up-sale. They got me to buy some wiperblades, but when they offered to change out my exhaust- leaking catalytic converter for $800 to $900, lest carbon monoxide poisoning sneak into the car, I had to draw the line. But overall, as someone who would prefer a root canal to taking my car into the shop, I have to say that the service was good. And my car works. Until it spontaneously won't.
