Very patient and knowledgeable people. Services were also quick and reasonable. Additionally I asked for some diagnosis on my dashboard lights, and after a quick look, they found the issue. Since it wasn't hard or didn't take any time, they offered not to charge me anything from it.I waited in the lobby while I had my tires worked on, and they kept me up-to-date, informed, asked, verified anything needed. It is always annoying and pressuring to fix a costly vehicle, but Car-X made me feel great going there.I was struggling on instructions/car terms, but they were very patient. They were also very understandable if I put off unwanted services, and they weren't pressuring or shy to talk to, so this is also a great place to recommend new customers.
One of those speedy oilchanges places caused a tube to break off and get sucked into my gearshaft.Had my car brought here and it got fixed fast. It could have been a lot worse, but the knowledge and ability here is top notch. That and found out the oil-change costs there are cheaper!Highly recommend!
Amazing service; incredibly reasonable pricing; very knowledgeable and friendly staff! I’ve brought my car here three separate times (for 3 separate issues) and each time the appointment was booked quickly and the service was very fast! Convenient and efficient! This will be my go-to from now on. I highly recommend!!!!!!!!! 5+ stars!
Went to get my brakes replaced. They were awesome! Was able to get it done same day and the price was so reasonable! The lowest we found! Firestone quoted us $1200 and told us front and back brakes needed to be done. The CarX tech advised otherwise, turns out that was a lie from firestone, the front breaks were like new! The guys here at CarX were very honest. Definitely reccomend this place!
I came in for a simple headlight replacement with just a short notice, drop-in situation. They did not disappoint. Very nice, courteous people. Got me lit up again. Great for urgent needs and probably everything else.
John is awesome! He always takes care of me when I go in. He does not hide around the bushes and tells me exactly what needs to be fixed and if its worth fixing. He never tries to sell me anything, just takes care of what is needed.
Sean and John took great care of me! Nice guys, fast service- would definitely recommend getting your work done at this location!
This place isn't a good good auto shop as you think. They're just gold digger, they charging parts and labor fee extra money that you/we couldn't imagine.
I blew a tire on WB Ave and limped to the business here. I went to go change my tire but found my lug wrench didn’t fit the key to my locking lug nuts. The very nice folks here let me use a socket set to get that locking lug nut off. THANK YOU!!
Got me in the same day where other shops had me out over a week plus. Finished the inspection in under 30 minutes. Great people.
Car-X is my go-to garage and I don't go anyplace else. I always feel like I'm getting a good value.
Great shop. Most things are affordable and they generally have availability.
Good service.
I was hesitant to use the national name of car x, but John is very informative, not pushy, doesn't 'over repair', but discusses options and goes out of his way to make sure we are satisfied. We have only had good experiences with several of our vehicles so far.
They do a great job. Thank you guys.
Very Disappointed things was not fix that i paid for ! Been going here for years never again
John is one of the best mechanics and people I have meant. Always takes time to help.
Outstanding service from start to finish. I was in and out under a half hour with no appointment, and the Manager John treated me like one of his own. I will be back in the future and will be recommending this place. Keep up the professionalism and welcoming atmosphere.
Staffing keeps giving me the run around about the services i needed for my car. Had to go in atleast 3 times just to get my car working properly (not fixed) and it cost me a arm and leg for it. On the first check up they even forgot to take out their device from my car but luckily for them i had to go back 15 minutes later because my car was a ting up again. The service writer seems nice and friendly and knowledgeable but still a no for me.
These guys went above and beyond to make sure my car was fixed correctly and in a timely manner. I greatly appreciate their service. I would recommend them and I would definitely come back. My car runs amazing!!
I came there almost a month ago with my Escalade due to smelling gas. There was no check engine light on my truck, and my gas meter was working. Needless to say, they replaced my fuel pump, but cause a second issue which caused my check engine light to come on later that day. I took it back three days later for them to repair the problem. I add that I had the truck scanned at Auto Zone to see what it was before I went back. The mechanic wasn't happy that I had it scanned at Auto Zone before I came, but said they would fix the problem. The only thing they did was erase the code that caused the light to come on. That weekend, the light came back on again. Haven't had time to address this with them directly due to the fact I had to attend the funeral of my sister. I just want them to know that 908 dollars is a lot of money to pay for poor work. If we pay you to fix a problem and then you cause another and is not willing to correct it the first time, but instead mask your work by just removing the light code, that's not quality service.
I love how nice the guys are there. Super reasonable and flthey do awesome work.
John has taken his time to go above and beyond. This man has stopped what he was doing and spent time with me and answered questions until I was satisfied. Thank you for being there. Single mom. Nervous about everything. I'm super chatty. And he let me be all of that. Clone him.
John and his team continue to provide excellent customer service in a most timely and respectful manner. Most recently they went out of their way to secure and install a very hard-to-find replacement part for my lovely 2002 Subaru Forester. Made me a most happy camper.Their service level in this instance was similar to what they did this past winter when my car's front end was making weird sounds following travel in deep snow. They put it up on the lift and determined compacted snow was the problem they quickly resolved...what a relief. Recommend them highly.
Seriously this place rocked and I would refer anyone with car problems to John. Got a quote for $390 on parts and labor, brought car in, was done in two hours, paid $340! This was so awesome compared to the crappy service I got last week from Midas and quote for $950 for parts and labor (on top of having to leave my car overnight in their tiny lot for a total of 21 hours to get an inspection and oil change done).
I don't know what these are guys are getting paid, but whatever it is, it is not enough. John and his guys run an excellent shop! Normally affordable and done right do not end up in the same sentence when it comes to repair shops. Not the case with CarX of St. Paul. John and his staff get done right, at an affordable cost and they get it done quick. I would not dream of bringing my vehicles anywhere else!
