    Great service. Found problems on the used car I was looking at at no cost to me.

    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.

    We usually do business with the Brooklyn Park location closer to home, but the location on Brooklyn…read moreBlvd had more availability for an oil change appointment. During that appointment, they noticed a leak and that we needed a repair on a CV axle. Good thing this was caught, because we are planning a big trip soon, hauling our camper. They got me scheduled quickly and explained everything in detail. The price was expected but still reasonable. This company has proved that it doesn't matter the location, you'll get the same great service.

    AVOID THIS SHOP AT COSTS. I got my car towed here by AAA, they dropped it in front of the garage…read moredoors then they threatened to tow it because where AAA dropped it off at. Ridiculous. They then told me for a week "we will have an update by the end of the day," "we will have an update in the morning" "we will have an update after the weekend." So I called Monday at 8:30, they said, "we will have an update in an hour" so I called back at 10:00, 1.5 hours later, and they still hadn't looked at it they told me it was the next car which was complete bs givin what they had told me the last week. So I chewed the guy out on the phone and told him and the shop to get fuckin bent and I'm getting it towed to a new place. When I got there to get it towed, they had completely snapped my key off and it is stuck in the ignition. So no wonder they hadn't worked on it they couldn't even turn it to neutral to move into shop. They never told me either, they consistently lied to me just feeding me bullshit I am so frustrated with this place and I rarely write reviews. So I hope this saves somebody the trouble off accidentally getting towed to or making an appointment at this hell hole.
