St. Anthony Mobil

Workmanship is fantastic, but after 14 yrs going here with 3 cars, not so sure any more — two items of personal property were missing after last visit 2 weeks ago. Nowhere is/​was car unlocked or in hands of anyone else except that service day. Doggone it, guys, not cool at all, and one thing was sentimental value because it was my Mom’s. I’ve been looking everywhere but the way stuff was all moved around in back seat, there was someone going through the car that had nothing to do with an oil change, rotation of tires and fixing a loose hubcap. I decided to post a caveat to folks to lock up or remove everything.

I have lived in Minneapolis for more than three years and I have not gotten an oil change at the same place twice because I haven’t had a stellar enough experience at any one spot to want to go back. A friend recommended St. Anthony Mobil so I went in for a very overdue oil change. This will now be my go-​to car service place. I waited while they did the oil change, but apparently they will drive you home if you want to leave your car. Amazing! Also, you get a free car wash with an oil change. They gave me a lowdown on a couple of non-​serious things happening with my car, explained stuff to me, and didn’t push anything.

I came here for the reviews. I understand they have good customer service, though when I went it was nothing special. All mechanics are usually in a «busy working» type of mood anyways.
Its their price thats ridiculous. An oil change at a shop, shouldn’t be that expensive (thats why youre willing to wait so long). But it was just as expensive as a quick oil shop. I also asked about my tires being rotated a few times. They never did it.
I just got an oil change AND work done at a quick oil shop. It was more than $ 40 cheaper (from the quote they gave me here) and took maybe 20 min. Just doesnt compare.
This was my experience.

Based on the stellar reviews this place gets I was almost suspicious… but they came through big time. It can be stressful when your car is on the fritz but I felt totally at ease, they gave me a ride to where I needed to go — had the car ready in record time — all for a very reasonable price.

This place is fantastic! When it comes to customer service, efficiency, and honesty, this is the place to go! I just moved here from out of state and was looking for a good place to go to get my regular oil change. After looking up reviews on Unilocal,I decided to choose St. Anthony Mobil and they did not disappoint. A complimentary car was had vacuum with your oil change? Whhhaaaaaattt?!! You would never get that at jiffy lube! On top of that, they did not try to charge me extra for anything that I did not need. One thing that I really loved was the cleanliness of the waiting area. That can make all the difference. I definitely plan on making this place my regular oil change place!

Employees are nice but when I ask my friends how much it costs for oil change, they say 20 – 30 dollars comparing to my $ 58. So I am not that happy.

This is like the old stations that use to be everywhere. Nice neat surroundings, very professional staff, full service pumps, loaner cars and excellent service. Where is Michael J Fox. I have stepped back to the future.
I will be returning for all of my service needs.

I was referred to this location from a friend who has been brining his cars here for years. I could not have been more happy with their service. They knew I was meant to be headed out of town and squeezed me in and had my car up and running within an hour of being there. I feel they are very reasonably priced and just as important they were so friendly, and knowledgeable. I will be bring my car here from now on and would definitely recommend this shop.

You know when life happens and you have to leave town today because of a family emergency and you shoulda got that work done on your car 3 months ago and you realize you better do it this morning before you drive 600 miles? And your auto shop is too busy to get you in?
Well, SAM saved the day. They got me in, worked fast, and even gave me a coupon for a wash and vacuum because they knew I didn’t have time to wait for it today.
Seriously. Exceptional courtesy. Nice area to wait. Friendly guys.
I had a regular auto place that I like a lot, but I may switch to this one after today. Thanks y’all!

Superb service. I have taken my car here for two years and have had to have several major repairs. These guys are great.
1) the quality of work is great. I haven’t had to go to a new mechanic because they messed things up the first time
2) they are honest — very willing to give you a reasonable estimate of how long you can delay the work so that you can fit it into your budget
3) their customer service is second to none — they offer free loaner cars for the longer repairs, give you a ride back to your home if you can’t arrange one yourself, and take the time to get to know all of their customers. I’m on a first name basis there
4) just great guys generally — it’s a great family business
I would recommend these guys to anyone — the best!

I just got $ 700 worth of work done here and I’m not even mad. St. Anthony Mobil was able to figure out what was wrong with my car and have it fixed and ready within a few hours. They were great about giving me a ride home after dropping me off as well as braving downtown traffic to come pick me up when my car was ready.
I think I paid a very reasonable amount for the work they did and they were sure to explain to me in layman’s terms what was wrong with my car and why. They even somehow managed to fix my car door that I previously couldn’t open all the way due to a crumpled fender! Amazing and courteous!

Seriously, these guys are amazing! My entire family brings their cars here and we couldn’t be happier. As someone who knows next to nothing about cars, it’s really nice to have honest people that don’t try to push every little sale possible on you. The price is right, and everyone who works here is charming. The owner is an upstanding guy, knows people by name, and really cares about the neighborhood. Keep up the great work!

I have never loved an auto repair shop before, but I am in love! The guys who work here are amazingly nice, knowledgable and super reasonable with prices! It is almost as if I want my car to break so I have to go back!

I don’t know a ton about cars. Enough to not completely screw one up, but not enough that I really know what I’m doing. So to me, having a mechanic that’s trustworthy and not going to try to pull one over on me is probably my biggest priority. I had yet to need work done on my car since moving to Minnesota a year ago, so I came in knowing nothing about mechanics in the Twin Cities.
St. Anthony Mobil was fantastic. They were upfront about everything and communicated with me very well regarding the issues my car was having. As I sat in the lobby waiting, I heard them talk to people coming in for gas and repairs on a first name basis, and I later learned that most of the employees had been there over a decade. These are people that care about what they do and the people they serve. They also offered a shuttle to take me to work and pick me up again when my car was ready. That was unexpected and a great perk.
The only reason I rate it four stars instead of five is that I felt the labor pricing was a bit higher than other mechanics I’ve been to in the past. However, you get what you pay for and I’d certainly recommend St. Anthony Mobil to anyone needing service on their vehicle.

SAM is simply one of the greatest full-​service garages I’ve ever found. Being a «car-​guy» myself I have no issues taking my vehicles to Aaron, Tom, Ben and the rest of the crew for every conceivable type of work. They’re straight-​shooters, beyond accommodating and provide the best customer service and experience around.
If you value honesty, credibility, value and supporting a local business you should start patronizing SAM!

Just the thought of getting my car checked out makes me stressed out, so I made sure to check out Unilocal before bringing in my car anywhere. Everyone’s right — these are great people to work with! I usually feel like I constantly have my guard up when talking to people repairing my car, but I experienced nothing but honesty and great, fast service here at St. Anthony Mobil.
I brought my car in because it had been making terrible sounds. I really appreciated that they were willing to go out on a test drive with me to see what the issue was (most other places I’ve gone to only test it in the garage and give up if they can’t reproduce the problem there) While I was pulling up to the front, Jason told me he could fix my problem without me even getting out of the car. Turned out to be a loose plastic cover on the bottom of the car that was dragging on the ground, and in 5 minutes he had it ready to go for FREE! Thanks guys, and I’ll definitely be back here when I actually have some real car troubles…

Seriously the best place to bring your car if you’re in the area. If it made any logical sense, I would have driven my car from California to here to get it serviced… I mean, you get the point. They’re that good. Roger and Tom A are stellar. Thanks gentlemen.

Saint Anthony Mobil prides itself on honesty and above all customer service. I had an estimate done elsewhere that seemed ridiculous and way over priced, had the work done at SAM and they didn’t have to do any of the ridiculousness and barely charged me. At that very moment I had my ‘garage’ — that was a few years ago.
I have been here a number of times and they know who I am, have built up my trust, and I always leave understanding what was done, feeling it was well done, and that I paid an honest price. Lastly, I am a woman and they explain things to me, but don’t talk down to me ~I never feel like I have to bring my husband in to get the ‘real story’ on what needs to be done.
Yay for honesty and being good to your neighborhood!

We’ve been using St Anthony Mobile for three years now but today the service was so exceptional I had to write a review.
We dropped our first car off on our way to work for a oil change — no appointment needed. On our way home from work (5pm) we stopped to switch cars. Our second car needed an oil change and rear light fixed. we said we didn’t need our second car back at any specific time and they could take along as they needed. This is where it gets good…
First they said to make it easier for us we could just pay all the services at the same time when we picked up our second car. Second, they said they had been keeping our first car in a garage so it didn’t get snowed on so we could see the clean car (exterior had been washed and the interior wiped down). Last, after dropping off our second car we went home and started cooking dinner when we got a knock on the door — it was the people from St Anthony Mobile — they had drove our second car to our doorstep after only having it for a few hours. They said we could just stop in any time in the next couple of days to pay our bill. What service!!! I never expected this nor did I ever think the people doing my car repairs would go out of their way to drive my car home for me.
I would highly recommend this place and will always bring my cars here.

I’ve gotta say, as much as I hate taking my car to the shop, I love having these guys around when I have to. No one wants to shell out big bucks for car repairs, and they understand. They’re happy to help you troubleshoot over the phone and when you realize it’s more than just a quick fix, they’re there when you need them. They’re open early and late, so you don’t have to race home from work to pick up your car. They even have loaners available so you don’t lose time or have to bother with rentals. There’s not much more you can ask of car mechanics, they truly go the distance for their customers.
