I searched for a local Automotive shop after moving back to the Twin Cities. Golden Valley…read moreAutomotive gave me a good online quote for an oil change. They needed to replace the plug which had been stripped bare and after going to pick up a new one, replaced it for an additional charge of $8.00. I'm accustomed to Texas, which has higher rates on auto work so it was a pleasant surprise! And it's a 5 minute drive from my new home. Highly Recommend.

If I had to give a one word review it would be: integrity. Call it a hunch if you will; my experience with them has been a couple of light maintenance visits, and some very valuable diagnostic information. As well as a number of visits to their drive through car wash. I've quickly gained confidence in their service and their advice, and I'd highly recommend them.

I had a vehicle towed here since it wasn't able to start. Upon calling them they were not only able…read moreto tell me that they do accept this type of scenario, but they were also able to tell me what towing company they recommend and why. The referred me to Frankie's towing due to it being the overall best value in the area, and because they also have a trusted relationship with them. They were able to get the vehicle repaired and now it starts and runs well! Overall I think what they charged for labor is fair for the market, and the quality of work seems adequate. The staff is friendly as well, so the only draw back is really that the entrance and waiting area feels a bit dirty and run down. If you need your car serviced in the area this is definitely a decent place to take it!

I've ignored a non-critical repair since December. To clarify, it's now the beginning of March…read more The shops I did contact when I'd have the time to consider the repair throughout that while all asked for the car to be dropped off, some requiring a full week before dropoff, which didn't work for me, so I kept putting the minor nuisance on the back burner. Fast forward to the other evening, and a phone call with a dear friend results in learning that a family friend who had helped raise him, the mother to one of his closest friends from childhood to this day, was on her death bed across state lines. His car was in the shop from a hit and run. Suddenly, the minor repair I'd ignored for months became top priority, because I didn't want him needing to return to the Twin Cities immediately if he carpooled or spend a ton on a rental and still have to measure his stay to minimize the rental expenditure. I had an unexpectedly busy day yesterday, so once I was free today, I picked one of the best-rated Plymouth repair shops and grabbed my phone, expecting it to be the first of many calls, given recent experiences with fielding this exact repair for my car. Nope. John was not only truly warm, he was very considerate and informative in his questions before inviting me to bring my car in for a quick repair today, despite it being already 3:30 pm at that point, with the shop closing in an hour and a half. I got to the shop at 4 pm. Less than half an hour later, I was leaving with my car no longer clanking from a loose part. I think I've found a solid new (and far more local - my go-to shop up until now required a half hour drive, but I love my car so I didn't mind) doctor's office for my car.

On this day, me and my boyfriend were driving casually as we began to notice a burning rubber smell…read morebefore quickly realizing that smoke was coming out from under the hood. Neither of us know much about car maintenance, but we immediately pulled off to the side of the road on the intersection between Hwy 7 and Shady Oak Rd. Not five minutes into pulling over, a very generous woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties, wearing glasses, and was driving a dope blue car which I believe was a Toyota FJ60/62 (?) Either way, she dropped her dog off and told us if we were still there she would help us out. She came back just a few minutes later and picked us up and brought us to the O'Reilly just a few minutes away. We told her about this being the second time this has happened and she gave us great advice about our beater of a Ford Escape and how we should get a diagnostic test, check our oil dipstick a lot more frequently than we currently do, and to possibly check if our coolant had a leakage. Before she dropped us off, she told us how her father runs Expedition Autoworks and that it would be worth checking out. I've never once heard of this place as I don't live near the area, but the next time I need car maintenance I will absolutely check out Expedition Autoworks knowing the kindness that woman showed me and my boyfriend today. I wish I would've caught her name, but knowing that there's family of the person who helped us today, I will definitely make the drive and take my business to Expedition Autoworks.
