Steve’s Tire & Auto

Called in to Steve’s for an oil change and they got my car in that same afternoon. Every member of the staff was courteous and friendly. They also gave recommendations and took care of a tire rotation, all in under an hour on a busy Thursday summer afternoon.
I am thoroughly happy and impressed with my first visit and will be bringing my cars to Steve’s from now on.

Unfortunate.
Initially excited to find a shop in our neighborhood. However, do what you say, for how much you say you would do it, and have it done when you say it will be done.
Epic failure on all three.

seriously the worst place I have ever been to the guy at the front called me a liar because my battery was dead then proceeded to lie to my face which I had to find out after the fact by calling interstate batteries headquarters, never go to this place. or no wait go if you enjoy dishonest mechanics

Great local car shop. The lobby area has definitely been renovated since someone commented on it below. Service tech was great about explaining different service options to me and prices for each. I had questions about warning lights on my new-​to-​me Subaru Legacy and he walked me through each of them. I really appreciate honest car guys!
Also: website had coupon for an oil change that I had printed off and turned out not to be eligible for (I needed synthetic oil) and he gave me a discount anyway.

They do good work, you don’t have to worry about being taken advantage of, they explain all options, give a recommendation and you choose. We usually drop off so I’m not really sure how fast they are but guessing they are quick. Anyone looking to get work done would make a good decision to go here.

Excellent, friendly shop. They even advise me when certain things (tires) are better bought elsewhere. They’ve done excellent, reasonably priced work on my Honda Element and Nissan Murano.

I had a great oil change and tire rotation experience with Steve’s Tire and Auto. I accidentally called the Nicollet location first, but after I realized my error (meaning to call the 34^th Ave. shop), I called back and they treated me kindly and respectfully. Without my intervention, they transferred my work order.
I did have one problem: after I brought the car home, the check engine light came on. They had me swing by the shop, where they quickly identified and fixed the problem. They apologized profusely.
Their rates are neither low nor sky high, but their proximity and friendly service mean they’re my new auto shop. Thanks, Steve’s Tire & Auto!

I’ll echo what many have said about the service here… these folks are amazing. I had a flat tire (screw stuck in it) and they were 30 mins from closing time. They stayed late to get me patched up and they did it with a genuine smile on their face.
I found my new shop!

I visited here for the first time on Saturday 4/​5/​14-​the two gentlemen that helped us were so kind and respectful, I was truly blown away. I would suggest to all women who have been deceived by other car shops to go here. Between their genuiness and the excellent car service they provide, I highly recommend this place.

Great service. It was 7:30 on a week night when I realized an ice chunk had done some damage and that I was dragging a plastic guard. The guys working quickly volunteered to put it up on the lift and see what they could do. Rarely find people so willing to help out.

Rollie and his team came to the rescue again. Told me what I HAD to do and what I could defer for a while on my 17 year old crown vic. I drive them till they won’t drive no more and it’s handy to have a mechanic you can trust. 207,000 miles and going strong, well not strong, but with Steve’s tire and Auto at my back maybe a while longer, before I will have to buy a «new» five year old vehicle/

So I’m a woman, a very young woman, and I know nothing about cars. My Dad always told me to let my husband deal with that stuff, but my husband and I are never off at the same time. Anyway, I take my car to another mechanic in St. Paul and the guy basically told me that they were too busy to even look at the car and then he stared at me until I left.
I thought this place would be out of my price range because it’s small and local, but I’m glad I did. The person at the front desk asked me what was wrong, when I wanted it done, quoted me their standard rates, and offered to have someone drive me home. I have read reviews from here before so I knew they did something along those lines. Really nice guys. Won’t go anywhere else! Affordable, fast, professional.

They wanted $ 350 to replace 1 tire. Went to discount tire and got the same tire installed for $ 120. I try to support local business and I am willing to pay a small premium, but not 3 times more than the chain place.

Great service and very speedy. I’ve come to these guys for several jobs and their always upfront and honest.
Recently I had to replace my exhaust system. They were able to save my converter, thereby saving me over $ 300.
They truly pride themselves on customer service and I’ve recommended their work to everyone I know.

Fixed a torn valve stem at the drop of a hat on a Sunday afternoon. Showed me where it got sliced. Zero jargon, zero BS, just friendly guys who get the job done!

Solid. Got me in on a Sunday morning when I was pretty sure they were too busy to deal with me. They fixed a flat tire quickly and I was on my way.

These guys are the real deal. Honest workers, take pride in repeat customers. Every receipt comes with a AAA «Rate your experience» card that goes straight to AAA. They are solid.
I had breaks and rotors replaced on my Subaru Outback, and a few other «this and that» things. Felt they did a great job, and feel I paid a fair price. In and out the same day.
The only reason I don’t give them 5 stars is: the front office/​check in area is a bit beat up. One thought is that they are too busy fixing cars to buff and shine the front counter. Fair enough.
Also, they have a loaner car for you to use if it is being used by someone else already. The thing is an old beater, but at least they have a free car to borrow!
I will use them again, no question.

I agree with Cheery, very honest shop, never had a problem. Always able to get my car in quickly.
