Very knowledgeable, professional, helpful and trustworthy. I brought my 72 Dart there. They are one of the very few businesss in the area that have the equipment and knowledge to work on classic cars. I am beyond pleased and will continue my business with them! Thanks for making my car look and run great!!

A very sincere thank you to Derek and the crew at Dakota Auto Repair for going above and beyond to repair my wifes vehicle on short notice, and for taking the time to help us understand exactly how the damage occurred. Apple Valley is fortunate to have a genuinely trustworthy auto repair shop. They have absolutely earned my future business and referrals.

Being new to area and stranded on New Year’s Eve, I did some quick google research and called Dakota Auto Repair. They gave a great referral to Dick’s Towing to get my vehicle started or towed over to them. My vehicle did start but I knew I needed it looked at and still brought it there. From getting to look at it that day, even though they were busy, the thorough explanation over the phone of what they felt needed to be done and the fair pricing to get the job completed, they have earned my business going forward. Very small town shop feel and honest, fair work. Thank you!

They fixed my broken oil pan drain plug for cheap. Only $20. Nice guys and honest!

Ive not personally used them yet. Ive heard they are very good.

Top notch service, needed my suburban fixed quickly and it was done. Great communication, diagnosis, and repair. Nice to go to a shop where I can trust the work done. Great job, thank you!

Its tough to trust an auto shop to do great work and not rip you off even if they dont. Derek at Dakota Auto Repair is the only place I take my car to that I trust it will be done at a fair price. If you live in the metro area I highly recommend

Im new to the area. Drive a Volvo and brought my vehicle here due to the high reviews. Wont bore you with details, but will say D.A.R. more than delivered to receive my five star rating!! I very highly recommend! They are genuine, fair, kind, no pressure, knowledgeable, reliable and easy to work with...Thank you to the team at Dakota Auto Repair. You have a customer for life.

My car started experiencing problems near them. I called to see if they could take a look. Kevin said bring it on in. He drove it and looked right away. It was somewhat complicated and Derek (owner) got involved. They fixed problem temporarily by clearing out a code. Explained that I needed to find a Kia dealership and they better cover if not bring it back theyd figure it out. When I asked what I owed they said nothing. Wow! They really seemed to care about my problem. They were great. Took it to KIA and they fixed it. Thanks guys. I wont hesitate to come back for future repair.

Very good bunch of guys need.worker and fair on price they helped me out big time

I drove to Dakota Auto Repair in an emergency situation and they could not have been more helpful. Service was fairly-priced and all my options were clearly explained. Work was completed within a day and I will definitely return in the future for other needs.

Excellent service. I went in to have my rear brakes replaced. I ended up leaving with an oil change as well, and below the original quote for just the brakes. They even squeezed me in earlier than they originally had availability for.

Thoughtful and honest work

This was the first time in my life I left a repair shop not thinking I had been ripped off. I appreciate for the nice maintenance advice they gave me. I will come back!

The garage is fantastic and their services are awesome. Their prices are always fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks to Terry, Derek and Kevin for keeping my old car running safely. I depend on them to give me good advice about repairs. I have been with them for more than ten years! Always kind and polite.

Good people and they do excellent work!

My familys been going to Dakota Transmission for years and will continue to for years to come. Derek and company know their stuff, do excellent work, and are extremely fair and honest. I wouldnt go anywhere else.Like David Spade said in Tommy Boy - you hang on to a good car, kinda like a suitcase. And you hang on to an honest mechanic too.

I am only giving this place 1 star bc they managed to not drool on themselves in front of me. I went for them to fix my fuel tank bc there was a leak. They told me my Cam had too much forward and backward movement without even taking the valve cover off, and they didnt even fix my fuel tank. They didnt even touch my vehicle. Im baffled that people can lie to someones face like that. I would highly recommend NOT going to this place ever. They are about as useless as the Charmin Extra Soft they wipe there behinds with. Horrible Horrible Horrible

My father has been going here for over a decade. I started bringing my vehicle here a few years ago. Derek and company are very honest and trustworthy. They also are very knowledgeable, using genuine OEM parts and not cutting any corners. I trust them to do the right thing and I wont go anywhere else.

My vehicle had a transmission leak and I brought it to Dakota Transmission to get fixed. Before bringing it here, I brought it to another place down the road and they quoted me at $280 to fix the leak problem. Dakota Transmission inspected it and said that the leak was a larger problem and by fixing it like the other place all it would be doing is placing a band aid on it. The people working there gave me great advice on what to do and are very trust worthy. They didnt even charge me for inspecting my vehicle. They are straight forward and trust worthy.

They did a great job at a fair price. They not only fixed my plow, but made sure to take the time to show me how to disconnect/connect, which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend them based on my experience.

Do a great job on all our companies vehicles.

Did a quick pre pre-purchase inspection at no cost...nice touch to earn a future customer.

Great service and people!

Great place in the metro to have your diesel pickup worked on. Derrick is great to do business with.

Derek--very personable and willing to work with you.Inspires confidence. Nice to find competency andhonesty in todays world.

The people there are friendly an very good guys if you need any work on your car take it to them

Great honest service. Honest estimate. We have all service and repairs done here.

Talked with the guys at Dakota Auto about some A/C pipe issues and they were the only ones willing to fit a pre purchased part from subaru for us. Used their drop box and it was fixed the next day at lunch time. Prices were reasonable and service was great.Glad we found this place.

They are so patient with working through questions you have and doing a thorough job! They make taking my car in stress-free

Honest service with great prices and a quick turnaround. Would definitely recommend..

Very pleased with our first visit, excellent prices and a friendly, accommodating staff.

Great guys fast turn around!!

We bring all of our gas and diesel trucks here. Great service and expert technicians.

Great guys and Derek always gives it to you straight. We take our plow trucks to Dakota Transmission when we need work done.

My very very favorite. They know their job very well. When I was purchasing my second vehicle, they helped me by giving me their input and what they think. I do trust them. Theyre also kind, friendly and professional

They told me I needed a new transmission with out even looking at my car.........Update a year later I am still driving the car and the issue I had went away after changing transmission fluid and filter.

Great service 👍

Great work

Taken care of like family
