The staff were good. There was a little delay but they finished the vehicle in the time we needed. They are really close to our house and they are independent not a chain.

They were able to accommodate me immediately and the service was prompt. I've been going to 4 Star Auto since the mid 1990's. although not much in the past 6 years only because we moved away for a few years and since we moved back we had a discount from the dealership. But I was always happy with their service and their price and have always felt that they were trustworthy. I plan to go back to them now that our dealership deal is almost done.
Description of Work: This most recent service was just to get a screw out of my tire.

The van was making squeaking noises while the engine was running. I called Four Star, and I was able to get an immediate appointment. I dropped the car off the following morning at 7am, and had received a quote by 8am. The work was completed by early afternoon, and the actual cost was within 3 dollars of the estimate. Everyone I worked with was very professional and polite.
Description of Work: Replaced a belt tensioner, the AC belt, and the serpentine belt on a 2000 Dodge Caravan.

I decided to go with Four Star Auto when looking for a car shop because they saved me a lot of money. I knew I needed new ball joints, but every other shop I'd called about replacing ball joints told me I'd need a whole new control arm as well. New control arms cost much more than just getting the ball joints, and I wasn't convinced this was necessary. When I called Four Star they assured me that they could indeed replace just the ball joints without replacing the whole control arm, and I was happy to hear that of course! I brought my car in a couple days after, and they replaced the ball joints as promised and did an alignment. The car was driving great again, and Four Star saved me a bunch of money. I have been there many times since, and have always gotten great service.
Description of Work: Replaced both lower ball joints and did a wheel alignment.

In Feb of 09 I had the air intake gasket on my car replaced at Four Star. In July, the car started acting funny again, so I assumed it was the same gasket. I called Four Star on Friday to see if it was still under warranty (they guarantee their work). Although I was over on the mileage, I was under the warranty time limit, but Four Star agreed to reduce the labor costs ($250 estimate) and replace for the part for me. So, I set up an appointment on to have it checked out. They had me drop off my car the Tuesday night so they could check it out Wednesday morning. Fortunately, they were able to loan me a car because I live in Woodbury and work in Chaska and don't have a ride there/to work. I got the call Wednesday afternoon that the part was fine, but some hoses were loose. They tightened up the hoses and there was no charge! When I went back to pick up the car, they didn't even charge me for the rental! Even though they are "out-of-the-way," I will continue to use them for fixing my cars!
Description of Work: Air intake gasket replaced, hoses tightened.

WE HAVE BEEN BRINGING OUR CAR TO FOUR STAR FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. RECENTLY HAD A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE WHICH I THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE WITH ANGIE'S LIST PEOPLE. I WAS TOLD I HAD 3 BENT RIMS (THE THING YOUR TIRE ATTACHES TO) LAST SPRING. I HAD THOSE REPLACED. THIS FALL I WAS TOLD I HAVE 3 BENT RIMS (I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE CAR 4000 MILES). IT APPEARS THAT THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND REPLACED ONE WRONG RIM LAST SPRING. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE ONE FREE OF CHARGE, BUT THE REASONS FOR THE BENT RIMS SEEM TO BE A MYSTERY. I'VE BEEN HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY IN THE PAST AND I WILL PROBABLY STILL USE THEM IN THE FUTURE.
Description of Work: THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR BEARING ON OUR CAR.

THEY ARE BOTH FRIENDLY AND HONEST. THEY HAVE DONE USED CAR INSPECTIONS FOR ME AND REPLACED MY ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM IN THE PAST ON A MOMENTS NOTICE. THIS TIME THEY COULD HAVE REPLACED MY BRAKES AND CHARGED ME $200 BUT INSTEAD THEY DID ONLY THAT WHICH NEEDED FIXING. I WILL DEFINITELY RETURN FOR FUTURE REPAIRS AND RECOMMEND THEM TO FRIENDS.
Description of Work: I THOUGHT MY BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING; TURNS OUT THEY JUST NEEDED ADJUSTING. THEY CHECKED THE RADIATOR TOO AND SAID IT DIDN''T NEED TO BE FLUSHED RIGHT AWAY BUT BEFORE WINTER.
