LAKE ELMO REPAIR

everything seems to be running fine. Completed on time, very reasonable cost.

Mike and his team at LER go above and beyond when it comes to the personal touch. I have LER take care of ALL my personal automotive needs and my companies 6 truck fleet. These are guys you can always trust!!

The work was done in a timely manner, we were kept informed.

Been using Lake Elmo repair for many of our cars over many years. They are the "go to" place for our family.

Our car is 1998 with fairly low mileage so we appreciate a garage that appreciates a balance of cost and maintenance with consideration of an older, not-fancy car. I appreciate the straight forward approach by Lake Elmo Repair. They explored other low cost options with the axle that worked well for us and their diagnosis of the coolant leak was only a hose. Their service was quick and friendly. And they offer coupons on their website for a deduction in the cost of repairs. We have been looking for a new auto repair place since the owner of our former repair place retired. I think we have found a new place that we can trust with Lake Elmo Repair.

My truck is driving much, much better. I am convinced the money was well spent and that I will be able to keep the truck. Lance was friendly, helpful, and professional and took the time to explain the repair.

I have been using them for a few years now, what sold me was a few years back I was driving 97 Volvo a replacement part for tail light was going to cost like 600-700 $$ when I asked Mike if he could "Jerry rig it" he said YES. He charged me almost nothing. I gave the car away to relative tail light still working. They all could not be nicer, without trying and when you call them..they answer the PHONE ! No telephone tag. Hard working men.

Called because our SUV wouldn't start and was able to get it towed in same-day. They diagnosed the issue to be old and fouled plugs. Made sure that was all that was wrong. Replaced with and excellent set of platinum plugs that have it running the best ever since new. What a difference. Very fair on price for the work done and extremely honest. A vague non-starting issue leaves a lot of room for less honest shops to charge for a lot of unnecessary work. These guys did only what was necessary, very quickly, very well, and at a very fair price. I just found my local go-to repair shop when needed!

It went very well. The staff is very knowledgable. We were happy with the work and the price. Their locations is great for us. They are pretty staight forward.

We've been using Lake Elmo Auto Repair since moving here 3 years ago based on recommendations from my coworkers. We bring our cars in for all maintenance and repairs. They do excellent work. We've never had a problem with any of their repairs. They are punctual, professional and always honest. Their prices are fair. Wonderful people to deal with. You always feel that you're car is in good hands. I highly recommend them.

I took our van in at the last minute on the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving. Lake Elmo Repair was very friendly and contacted me early Wednesday morning to let me know what was going on and when they thought they would be done with the van. They were very informative and I felt like they kept me in the loop as to what they were going to do and how much it was going to cost. The work was done when they said it would be done and they provided excellent customer service. I will DEFINITELY be going back to Lake Elmo Repair for all my vehicle repair needs.

They checked it out and were determined to find the source and fix without adding expensive parts, throughout the process I was called and kept updated.

Very professional service. Called to tell me all what car needed and asked which services I wanted to do. Reasonable costs. Completed in timely manner.

Explained the situation and what was needed to fix and checked out the car completely. Very professional group

Identified problem quickly, fixed it and replaced a cover to reduce the chance of having the problem again.

They were great from start to finish!! We had a leaking brake line and have had a difficult time finding reputable RV repairs in the Twin Cities - called them on Monday morning and they were able to schedule an appointment for Tuesday morning. We were called around 9am to say the repair was completed - what a refreshing change from the standard line of 'we will hopefully look at by the end of the week and let you know how much' - we were able to pick it up that evening, and can't say enough about the professionalism and respect they showed both us and our RV. Also, they didn't 'oversell' any other repairs - we will definitely use them again should the need to repair our 'Georgie Boy' arises, which inevitably seems to be the norm when owning an RV;)

Excellent. They were lower on their estimate than several other repair facilities. The final cost was exactly what they quoted. They did the job and had the car ready exactly when they said they would. The brakes were done right, and I have had no problems. These guys know what they are doing, and do exactly what they say they will. I had work done on another car previous to this, replacing the radiator, and had a little drip a day or two after the repair. They took the vehicle in again and corrected the problem with no questions asked. They do great work at a fair price.

Great - great service and technician.

Everything was done to our complete satisfaction at a reasonable price plus they offer coupons.

These guys took me in right away, showed me the problems, supplied me with a courtesy vehicle, free of charge. Super nice guys that went out of their way to provide exceptional service.

I spoke to Bob yesterday about my retractable running boards on my 2009 Ford F150 were not deploying correctly. I found on the Internet a solution from the Forums at Ford so my natural instinct told me to go the Ford Dealership to have them fixed. They said they could not do the repair but they could replace the running boards for $1,800.00 each that's $3,600 for the pair. I told them I think I know what?s wrong and it appeared to be a simple solution. So I found Lake Elmo repair on Angie's List called Bob and he said bring it over we can take a look. Set an appointment for the next day no waiting and he got done quickly I have tell you they were prompt and now the running boards are working like a champ. Thanks Bob, it just goes to show you the little locally owned places know how to get things done and not break the bank and they work plus they care. I will be back. Thanks again. Plus I already paid for my membership plus some.

This was my first experience with Lake Elmo Repair. I recently moved to Oakdale, MN and recently noticed my breaks weren't working properly. I did some research and found Lake Elmo Repair on Angies List. I called the shop at 7am on January 22nd and asked if I could make an appointment after explaining my break problem. I was able to set an appointment for 7am the very next day January 23rd. Within an hour and a half of dropping the car off I received a phone call letting me know what was causing the problem and their recommended actions. I approved their fixes and they said that I would be able to pick-up my car before close (6pm) that day. At 2pm I received a call saying my car was fixed and was ready for pick-up. Lake Elmo Repair kept me well informed throughout the repair. They are very friendly and have great service. I am definitely bringing both of my cars to Lake Elmo Repair from here on out.

Overall, everything went smooth. I appreciated their honesty when I picked up the truck regarding the "fix" for the resonance. They weren't sure if they fixed it completely and stated so. Based on the issue, this is what we were both expecting. And it turns out, it did fix the majority of the resonance. And the suggested fix for the low idle was appreciated. I asked, and they gave me a price for what it would have been for them to do it ($30), and this seemed reasonable for the relatively simple task it was for me to do it. But I appreciated the fact they would give me the free advice.

My check engine light was on and the car was running very rough and a strong gas smell coming from the car. I had it towed to garage and was told I had to replace #3 fuel injector. Picked it up at 6pm on Friday. Drove away and check engine light was on shortly thereafter, which Bob told me might happen. Car had some hesitation and sputtering on drive home. Saturday morning I started driving the car and check engine light was flashing, strong gas smell and barely made it through the intersection. I was unable to drive my car all weekend. I called Monday morning and said my car was not fixed and told him to have it towed which he did. Once he looked at it he told me now the #2 injector was bad. He did cut me a deal on the labor but charged me for the towing. I know my car was not fixed on Friday because the check engine light that turned on shortly after leaving the repair shop has not come back on after the second repair and I have been driving it for a week. Having to pay for towing twice is unethical as the car was not repaired on the initial repair plus it was very inconvenient to be without a car for 5 days. I was not offered a loaner car and only learned they had loaners when I went in the shop to pick up my car. I will never go back there and will not recommend to anyone.

called and set up appointment--was quoted a price--and the job was completed on time---excellent experiance
