Honest, dependable, and even drove on their own time -after closing- to pick up part.

Great outfit, my tire pressure light came on mid-workday and they were able to take a look at it right away. Good people, very helpful. Will definitely visit them again, good quality shop, I totally recommend them.

Couldn’t be happier, Dale was able to get my car in and installed a new battery within a couple of hours of my initial phone call. Highest recommendation.

Cedar Ave Repair shop may seem like good local spot to have your car maintained, but all the glitter is not gold. The staff is friendly but not trustworthy. I had both of my vehicles serviced here for quite sometime and I was totally ripped off. I paid a premium price for multiple services on my vehicles the quality of work was pathetic. The owner, Dale, comes off as a nice but he is truly slimy. Dale claimed he found and fixed multiple leaks in my luxury vehicle and charged me a premium price to fix the leaks but he never fixed the leaks. The next day I noticed my vehicle was still leaking fluid

I enjoyed my experience with them. They were honest and upfront in each step of the process. I took a gamble considering I drove 2000 miles the next week I had my car back from them and it paid off. Great work guys.

They are the best ever! Very friendly and welcoming! My favorite guys! Even if I need just air in my tire or a quick service check they do it on the spot! They do amazing work, great pricing, they take care of you ASAP even when they are overloaded! See Dale or Mike they are awesome!

Owner is very nice and transparent about his costs to repair your car. He will also give you option for good used or rebuilt parts if you’re on a budget. They keep my 1997 Honda Accord wagon with 275K running safely.

I had great luck with them. I thought I needed a new AC compressor but all I needed was a recharge. So they saved me a lot of money! I will definitely use them again!

I live five hours from the Twin Cities and when visiting family locally, I have needed fast service a couple of times. Cedar Ave Repair has always come to my rescue with honest, skilled, friendly service at very affordable rates. I will be moving back to the area and when I do, these guys will be my regular mechanics. Can't recommend this shop enough.

Honesty and Integrity - this shop has both. They take appointments and you can also schedule early morning appointments for maintenance so you can sit and wait (for minutes, not hours). Fair pricing on repairs and will only repair what needs to be done. Will openly and honestly discuss your vehicle and not force any unnecessary repairs/costs on their customers. Give them a chance - you won't be disappointed.
