Questions
Before you text us
How fast can you get here?
Depends on the day and what we're already working on. There are two of us, so we text you an honest time window. If we're booked up, we'll tell you that too.
Do you really answer at 2 AM?
Yes. After-midnight jobs carry a $60 overnight fee, which is what gets us out of bed. If your car can safely wait until 6 AM, we'll tell you and book you at the day rate.
What cars do you work on?
Most cars, trucks and SUVs, domestic, Asian and European, plus motorcycle basics (oil, battery, brakes, chain). One of us is Toyota-certified, so Toyota and Lexus are home turf. Text the year, make and model and we'll confirm.
What if you find something else once you start?
We stop and text you before doing anything that costs more. Under Minnesota law, the final bill can't go more than 10% over your written estimate unless you OK it.
Is there a minimum charge?
No. You pay the price on the list. The only exception is a single bulb on its own, which is $39 instead of $19.
Do you supply the parts, or do I?
Either. Bring your own and we install them with no markup, or we source them at cost plus 25%. Parts we buy are paid up front.
How do I pay?
Cash, Venmo, Cash App or Zelle, when the work is done.
Do you come to my city?
There's no trip fee in Blaine and 13 nearby north-metro cities. Most of the rest of the Twin Cities is +$25, and the outer ring is +$45. Check your city on the service area page, or text us.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes, 30 days on our work. If a part we installed fails or the fix doesn't hold, we come back and redo it without charging labor twice.
Does the $75 diagnostic come off the repair?
Yes, when we do the repair. If you take our findings to another shop, the $75 just covers the diagnosis.
Do you work in a Minnesota winter?
Yes, all winter. Below about 10°F we check whether the job can be done safely outside before we commit. If it's better done on a warmer day, we'll tell you.
Do I have to be there? What about apartment lots?
No, as long as we can get to the car and reach you by text. Apartment lots are fine if the lot rules allow it.
What won't you do?
Tire mounting and balancing, alignments, strut and suspension replacement, and airbag work. Those need shop equipment we don't carry. We can point you to a shop that does them. Big jobs like head gaskets or engine and transmission swaps we do take, quoted after we see the car.
Text us what the car is doing. We’ll send a price.
