I have an older car, a 2004 Grand Prix, that has low miles and I get it fixed when it has issues. The brake line dropped when I was driving on the highway, but luckily I was able to get to safety. I had it towed to the shop and told them what I knew. They diagnosed my car with a broken brake line and said I needed new routers and brake pads in the front. The estimated and final cost for the work was $950 dollars, with a breakdown for $465 for labor, rotors, and new front brake pads and the rest for the brake line. They said that my other brake lines were rusted and could go at anytime, but claimed I didnt need them changed at this time. The cost for the brake pads and rotor replacement was $200 more then what I had done 2 years ago for my rear pads and rotors. Also, they charged $400 for labor on the single brake line replacement alone with no breakdown on how long it took. From how long they labored on the vehicle in a single afternoon, a skilled mechanic should have taken only 1 to 2 hours for the brake line replacement. Hopefully, the other brake lines hold but I will head somewhere else to get them serviced. Not sure how much they are paying mechanics but $200 per hour warrants a career change for me. Go somewhere else if you want better value.
Great service and friendly staff! They were very quick with responding back to me. Not only that, they were able to squeeze me into their schedule last minute. They went above and beyond by picking up my vehicle. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
I trust this shop with our familys three cars. Honest, dependable service and Ive had very good experiences!!
Its great to have a trusted mechanic. This is the only place Ive been to that has charged me less than the initial quote. You only pay for the actual time the repair takes and only what you need. Thanks World Auto Repair.
This review is for OHV Motors that has merged with World Auto Repair in 2020: SHORT VERSION: extremely honest and highly skilled. LONG VERSION: I came across OHV Motors a couple of years ago when I decided to stop servicing my cars at dealerships and to find a local shop instead. I was skeptical at first, but great customer reviews made me curious, so I decided to give OHV Motors a try with small repairs here and there. So far, so good. Then I went to a dealer again to perform repairs for a manufacturer recall on my sons Subaru Impreza, and they told me that the head gasket was leaking badly and required $2,600 worth of repairs. I took the car to OHV Motors to get a competing quote, and to my surprise, I was told that the repairs were not needed - there was no gasket leak. They are THE FIRST auto shop in my life to not take advantage of a situation like this. Extremely honest! After that, theyve performed a lot of complex repairs on my cars, including rebuilding an engine and diagnosing a car not starting at extreme cold when it was -27 degrees outside. Theyve always delivered best service, never overcharging me or taking advantage of me in any way. Theyve got a customer for life.
Great people... professional, personable, expert.
Great price on a set of Blizzak snow tires. Balance done included dynamic balance (e.g. side to side weight placement), pressure retention, TPMS seal, tire bead seal compound. Very complete, done on time, and great price. Couldnt ask for more. Thank you Kris and Wynne. Appreciated it.
Update: The owner of World Auto in Eden Prairie contacted me shortly after I had submitted my feedback to their site. He apologized for the whole situation and refunded me my $130. Very much appreciated conclusion to an otherwise unpleasant experience.2007 Toyota Prius. I had a check engine light that popped and so I called World Auto in Eden Prairie to see if they could take a look. They notified me that it would be $130 for the diagnostic, which I was fine with, as I assumed I would have to pay that wherever I went before they would work on my car. They called me back the next day and told me that the codes indicated a problem with the hybrid engine/battery and that they dont work on those. Also, THEY WERE STILL GOING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC.I would be ok with this if they had notified me in advance that they were going to run a diagnostic, but that they dont work on hybrid engines. I would have promptly asked them for someone who does, and brought my business elsewhere. Instead I was assured that now I had the codes! I could take those anywhere and whoever else I took my car to wouldnt have to run their own diagnostic! Now he knows as well as I do, that doesnt happen in the auto repair business. Terrible service, a lot of condescending language, like calling me Bud every other sentence, and met with dishonesty when I voiced my complaint. I would absolutely steer clear of this shop if you have a hybrid vehicle. I would also recommend they take the Toyota flag out of the ground in front of their shop.PS-I also had to pay the diagnostic fee at the place up the road that works on hybrids.
I highly recommend World Auto Repair! The team here is smart, helpful, and provides good, honest service. Their communication is excellent too.This is truly that place you find via word of mouth from a good friend (that’s how I found it) and then never look back. “Psst! I know this place ...” They’ve taken care of me for years and I can’t say enough good things.
Misrepresented itself online says the do performance exhaust work. But the tell you they do not.
Professional, high quality and quick service. Great communication and staff. They are my go to company for all my car service needs!!
I had checked around my area regarding places to take my car to fix some starting issues. I even went to two other shops, and they said the battery was fine. So, I was looking outside my location, and I came across Auto World Repair and I thought “let me give them a call.” Luckily, they weren’t just willing and happy to help me, they were 5 minutes from where I live. And the convenience of dropping my car off at night after work,, so it can be done by time for work the next afternoon was very much appealing.And the job they did was so outstanding, the car is running perfectly. I think I have found a permanent home for my car servicing. Thanks Wayne, and all the mechanics at Auto World Repair!
I brought my van in to get a scheduled oil change at World Auto Repair in June 2019. I was with my two kids when I dropped it off and when I picked it up after service. When I went to pay for the oil change I was told there’s an extra fee now to run credit card because for years they weren’t charging this fee and it was about to cause them to raise their prices.The day after, I blew my back left tire on the highway. I got it replaced and turned out to have a nail in it. The next day, my other back tire blew out, It had a similar nail. My back tires were nearly bald so that could have been the culprit.I called World Auto Repair to ask why they didn’t inform me that my tires were nearly bald the man said that he was going to but I left too fast.I’m not saying World Auto Repair is responsible for the nails in my two back tires. But, never in my life have I ever had a tire blow out on me or find a nail in my tire. Let alone TWO tires with nails in them the day after I have a service.They have a great waiting room and candy next to the register. A previous service there was acceptable and they let me wait in their air conditioned waiting room.
Very well versed all around. Fair prices, quick service, and great customer service. My car has never run better!
Very friendly and honest service. The employee at the front desk learned my name and would recognize me when I would come in. Beyond the friendliness, the service was excellent. They did a great job diagnosing my car issues
I was pleased with the service and maintenance performed on my vehicle. Saved me some $ from having to go to the dealer. I will be returning.
Couldnt be more happy with an auto service! Didnt have an appointment for an oil change, but they got me in immediately upon calling! Very friendly staff and quick service!
I bought a new used car 6 months ago thinking I would not have to worry about any car issues for a while. I was wrong I had an issue where my car’s battery would drain when the key wasn’t in it. I took it to dealership where I bought it and after they looked at it for less than 25 mins told me “ it’s the battery” well I had it changed here at World Auto less than a month prior so I knew it wasn’t that. I tried explaining to the dealership how the electrics in the car turned on when the key wasn’t in it. They talked down to me and wouldn’t listen. I took it back too World Auto and it was a totally different experience I was listened to and really felt like they cared and wanted to help me get to the bottom of the issue. The service was so amazing and the staff was friendly and explained to me what was going on and not once did they speak down to me. I would highly recommend them! I can’t say enough good things about this place.
I have been a customer since the late 80s. They take great care of my cars and I totally trust their opinions, work and prices. Their customer service is beyond compare. They are simply the best!
Ive used World Auto Repair for almost 18 years and have always been pleased with their service.
Wynne is a friendly guy who provides good information about which services are required. The shop is a busy place but I feel like I received personal attention.
Probably a great bunch of guys if youre bringing in an ordinary car. But if you have anything modified I would certainly look elsewhere. Just not an experience I would like to repeat. I dont remember the name of the guy I dealt with specifically but he was extremely nice and did everything he could to help me, but a fully built and modified Subaru just wasnt in the wheelhouse.
I have good reviews but for some reason Wynn doesn’t return the calls after saying he will which is just not a good business tactic.
We brought our vehicle in because we thought we needed brakes and the mechanics told us that we didnt. The mechanics are honest and easy to work with. We have been going here for over 4 years and they never over sell. This is a place that you can trust.
We have been lucky to have worked with both Jerry (OHV) and Wynne at World Auto. We have a high mileage Acura and Volvo. We get trusted feedback and all options are explained up front. We love that they keep track of our maintenance history and appreciated that we have never been oversold on work that doesnt need to be done.
Wynne was very helpful, courteous and wanted to help my son and me with out concerns and our car. I have called back for more information and American Auto Repair went out of their way to ensure I was getting the correct help and service. Thank you so much
The only place I will consider to fix my car for anything because I trust them. They dont overcharge for anything. They also check out cars great when giving an oil change and let you know the status of many car components but never pressure you to fix them.
Had my car worked on multiple times here. Always good work
Jerry has taken care of my familys cars for several years at OHV and that same service and quality have followed to World Auto Repair. Highly recommend, friendly, convenient, and quality repair work.
They put so much thought and care for your car into their work! Highly recommend them over and over again.
Great Auto repair shop, honest, friendly, knowledgeable and great customer service. We have been taking our cars to World Auto since about 2000 and have always been very happy. I would highly recommended them to anyone in need of car repairs/maintenance.
I called for a 55,000 mile check up and oil change but Wynne reminded me that check up is usually at 60,000 miles unless my car is having some sort of problem (which it wasnt). Just another example of how World Auto will never do/charge for unnecessary work. Weve been going there to service all of our vehicles for 16 years and will continue.
I use World Auto Repair for both minor and severe issues. They have been flexible to meet my schedule. They will you taken care of in a timely fashion. Keep it up guys!
I have been a customer since the late 80s. They take great care of my cars and I totally trust their opinions, work and prices. Their customer service is beyond compare. They are simply the best!
Responded to my poor planning of an overdue service for my truck prior to a trip that came up for us. Took care of service plus layed out some options for me on my very expensive major service that is due. They did go out their way for me and I appreciate it it........Jay Donohue
We have relied on World Auto for 20+ years. It is SO great to find people you can trust and rely upon in this business. The owners of World Auto work in the business and they treat you like an individual and friend. They are honest and stand behind their work. Anytime we have bought a used vehicle we brought it to World Auto to check it out first. Well worth the time and money! They provide fair and honest feedback. We HIGHLY recommend this business.
Cost-effective, dependable shop for auto repairs. I have been a customer for more than 16 years. I usually drop off my car in the morning and pick it up after work. Highly recommended.
I take all my family cars out to World Auto. These guys know their stuff and are straight with me about what my vehicles need or don’t need. I trust them with my children’s cars and they says a lot.
Always pleasant, professional and on-time. Really appreciate you guys!!
I have been here a few times. Owner is quite honest. Fairly upfront with customers. Would definitely go back again.
Very happy with their professionalism. They are always helpful. I’m happy to bring my business here.
World Auto Repair is by far the best repair shop I have seen in my entire life. They are amazing. They are personable, HONEST, quick, extremely smart and knowledgeable, very trustworthy. Not even once I felt that their suggestions were motivated by profits, which happens in so many car repair places. I wish there were more businesses like them. As long as I live close enough to bring my car here, I will use them as only car repair shop and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.
Super helpful and quick! My inspection was fairly done.Everyone was so nice and helpful.Will definitely be back to service my car here.
The staff members at World Auto Repair are professional, knowledgeable, honest, and they do excellent, timely work. Trust them with your vehicle. I have been their customer for over 15 years.
This place is great very professional and fair
I felt lucky to find World Auto so near me when I lived in Eden Prairie. Now even though I moved away, I drive down to have them take care of my car. They are kind and accommodating. It is such a relief to know I have a car service center I can trust.
Very friendly and get the job done efficiently. Weve been trusting them with our vehicles for over the past 6 years
Honest Mechanics. I have been taking all of my cars to World Auto for over 10 years. After moving to the Twin Cities it was a real treat finding an honest Mechanic. Their prices are good and they are upfront with everything. They dont up-sell you or try to convince you to do work that is not necessary. They even go the extra mile finding rebuilt parts and giving you the option to go with the rebuilt, new after market or OEM. I have never had a problem with their service or work.
We have gone to World Auto for a long time for all our car repairs and maintenance. They have provided excellent service every single visit. I highly recommend them!
Guy said call back i got 2 or 3 different things going at one time he diddent wanna waite for my vin number i just called in and had vin number now im not calling them back cause who knows if he will rush doing my car and mess things up i will not be taken my car there
World Auto has always been awesome. We, my husband and I have been customers for years and have brought all our vehicles to them. (cars and trucks) We also bought our daughters first car there. We highly recommend them and would not go any where else.
Dont let the friendly words fool you.I have been a customer of World Auto for years and I always think they were honest.I took my Mercedes C240 like a year ago to fix an oil leak; they change a plug even I mention I already did but they said the leak was from there, so pay the over $200 for it and in a day or two oil still leaking. I got the car now for second time now they said something else, paid $600 or $700 dollars and after a day or two later the leak still there, get the car back for a third time and they said then the car is old and it will be very expensive to fix so they put a pad under the car in the engine cover to stop the leak.Well I give then the benefit of the doubt and bring my Audi just couple weeks ago, they check the car and told me it would be better to change 2 gaskets to make sure the leak is fix so I have them do that and did some extra work wile the car was there with a cost over $2100 but they fail again.In an email from Wynne said: If for any reason you feel that we dont deserve a 5 star review, please call or email me right away so that I may correct the situationI went to talk to him about my car still leak and his answer was well we fix one not the second leak and that will cost $1000 and no way that was in what they quoted to me in first place.I took my car to a different place where the problem was fix for $350.Stay away of sweet taking Wynne. He is very good at talking and will take you for a ride.I hope I save somebody some money with this review.
Trustworthy, friendly and put their customer first. Would recommend to everyone
I have had excellent service at World Auto Repair for my Chrysler Town and Country and my Toyota Corolla. They have been able to repair all my needs and keep up on my regular maintenance for my vehicles. I have always had friendly service.
For 11 years Ive used World Auto with 6 different vehicles. Theyve never let me down and have been honest and fair. They communicate well and explain my options. They kindly provide me a ride to the office when I drop off the vehicle. Ive enjoyed getting to know the team over the past 11 years - which happens to be the same crew as when I started using them.
Competent and timely! Very good experience working with the owner Wynne.
Wynne and World Auto have become my go-to shop for our two vehicles. Their no-nonsense straightforward approach to car repair means they dont try to upsell me, and I know anything they tell me needs repair legitimately needs it. Their priority is keeping me on the road affordably. They let me know what parts are starting to wear and will need replacing later, so I can prepare for the future. Competitive pricing and fast turnaround times have further secured my confidence in repeatedly returning to them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Been a customer for over 15 years. Work is always done well and scheduling has been flexible. I really like the friendly atmosphere, too.
My family has been coming here for years. Unfailingly great service. They do good work, with no hidden or surprise charges.
Wynne was quickly able to assess and repair an issue I was having with my heat exhaust shield. Likewise, I appreciated being able to drive my car without worry again!
Ive known others who have brought their car here, and Wynn and Tom have shown great expertise in fixing the problems quickly and with reasonable costs. I have just brought my BMW here for a problem that was supposed to have been fixed before at another mechanic. They diagnosed the real issue, ordered the parts, and could not have been friendlier. It is tough to find mechanics you can trust, and these guys are the real deal! Highly recommend without reservation!
I would highly recommend World Auto Repair. Ive had a couple of my vehicles in for servicing and ALWAYS drove away happy!
Great customer service. Repaired everything I needed, plus did some minor repairs for free. The people here are easy to talk to.
Wynn & Tom. These guys are the real deal. Straight talk. Square prices. Easy to work with. They fix only what you want fixed but are clear about any risks. Top marks.
They do great work and are super customer focused. I have taken my 66 Mustang there many times and am always very satisfied with their level of car and quality of work.
For the last 9+ years, the Team at World Auto Repair consistently gives excellent care to Jewel, my 2008 Volvo S60! And, outstanding customer service to me! Thank you!
I have been taking my 15 year old Saturn there since it was almost new. It has 184,000 miles on it now and is busted up pretty badly, but they continue to change the oil and replace the brakes periodically without laughing- at least while I could hear them. This is much appreciated!
They even honored my coupon with no hesitation i think i found my car a new place to be serviced.
Great honest mechanics, that work hard and do the job right. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Only took 13 long days for them to do a simple fix. Told us the car could not be worked on because one guy was on vacation, so instead of simply trying to figure what was wrong, they lit it sit for 13 DAYS! Unreal how terrible this experience was, will not ever be going back. Thanks world auto.
For many years we are taking cars to the World Auto Repair. Very nice and reliable service!Thanks World Auto Repair for the quality work.
Wynn is super friendly and the technicians do a great job. We have been coming here for many years and are very happy.
We can always count on World Auto to only do necessary repair work. I just got my Highlander back from a 30,000 mile check up and oil change and was surprised again that the bill wasnt higher but Wynne said I didnt need any additional work done. Weve been going to World Auto for over 10 years now and wont go anywhere else.
Wynne, Chris, Dennis and the rest of the team at World Auto have given great service to our family for years. Truly members of the EP community that you can trust.
I have been taking my car to World Auto Repair ever since my neighbor recommended them about 5 or 6 years ago. They are very helpful and friendly. I feel very comfortable with them taking care of my car.
All service done promptly and problems fixed correctly the first time.
Wynn and his guys are the best. Its not easy to find mechanics you can trust, unless you look here!
Only mechanic our family have used for the past 15+ years. Very dependable and friendly. Will tell it to you straight.
Trustworthy shop, good experience and communication.
These guys are honest and fair. I will continue to bring my car here for the impeccable repairs!
The only guys I trust with my car needs. Their recommendation are spot on and prices are very reasonable.
Ive used World Auto for the past 10+ years, and have always been satisfied with their service.
Personal service, consistently high-quality work, communicates well on options and costs, never pushes for unnecessary work, meets delivery dates.
Great service, staff worked overtime to make sure my car was working for the weekend.
Excellent work from honest mechanics for a fair price! What more can you ask for?
Great prices and service! They are always the best price when I waste time shopping around and they even drive me to the bus stop when I leave my car for the day. Ive had them do brakes, fluids, mileage check-ups, oil changes and will continue to bring them my service.
Friendly, flexible, and a great local shop!
Ive used World Auto for years for a variety of cars for services ranging from oil changes to major repairs. Ive always gotten honest service and fair pricing.
10 + years of taking my cars and work truck to World Auto. Wynn & crew have treated us great and I would gladly recommend their service.
Professional, trustworthy, efficient service!
World Auto is the best! Wynne and crew have been great at diagnosing and fixing any clunk, grind or whine that I hear any of my cars making. They are upfront about any problem that they find, always giving me the option of the type of part they can use - rebuilt, OEM or new - and in giving me the list of things that need to be done what needs to be done now and what can wait until later.
World Auto has been servicing my cars for 25 years. Doing a great job!
Always great service with reasonable cost.
Always helpful and prompt service.
Wynne reviewed my cars problems and honestly suggested not making costly repairs which would be better put to replacing the vehicle. Thats why we trust World Auto Repair!
I have been taking my car to World Auto Repair ever since I moved to MN 4 years ago. They are very professional and friendly. I feel very comfortable with them working on my car.
We have always been very happy with the service at World Auto.
Comprehensive and quality service. They have done wonders keeping my 2004 Honda Pilot running at 219K miles and counting.
Changed brake pads and rotors. Great job and service as usual.
Go here only if you have an excess of money and dont mind paying for services not needed. I brought my 1960 Impala to these guys to have the carburetor worked on. The car had been in storage for 10 years. Wynn had advised me that the carb was full of rust, but could easily be rebuilt for roughly $680.00. I inquired about a new carb, he said not necessary, the current carb is fine, it just needs to be rebuilt. I trusted his advise and said lets do it. I picked the car up and she ran beautifully for 2 weeks....until I rolled the windows up and could hear this obnoxious, annoying high pitch whistle. (Which my wife pointed out). I didnt notice it initially because with the windows down the wind muffled it. I took the car back in, advised Wynn of the whistle, he said theyd look into it. I received a call 2 hours later, Wynn said that it turns out I need a new carburetor because the current one has a micro crack in the body. (I hadnt even put 10 miles on the car since they initially rebuilt the carb for $680.00!!). I was pretty upset, he said there was no way of him knowing, I then reminded him that I had asked about buying a new one in which he assured me it wasnt necessary. I was extremely frustrated! I said fine, lets put a new one on there but I want to pay his cost on it. Theres no way Im paying full cost for a new carb after he mistakenly advised to rebuild a bad carb. He said no, hes not willing to do it, but maybe he can do a temporary patch of some sort, hell call me back. (A temporary patch??? Seriously?) I get a call 3 hours later, he said he sent it out to some carb shop, its good as new. I went to pick it up, the mechanic didnt even want to speak to me, he said just take my car and go. (That wasnt comforting at all). And to top it off, Wynn had that screw up look on his face.... Anyway, I drove the car out of there.....the noise returned after two weeks. I spent $680 for nothing.....$680, and the mechanic said just take it and go...... I did some research, it turns out I could of bought a new carb and had it installed for cheaper. It makes me sick every time I think about this. I waited all summer before I wrote this review. Im a small business owner, I believe in always trying to stay on the positive side with people. But this whole experience is so not right. I dont want it to happen to anyone else. There is another review on the web from a BMW owner who also got taken pretty bad by these guys. I read it before taking my vehicle to them, I figured it was just a flook, just one bad customer. But now I really feel that guys pain. These guys are great if your ignorant about cars and carry an open wallet. But if your looking for that warm place you can trust, if your looking for that shop that is looking out for your best interest. Please, for the sake of anyone who just doesnt want to be screwed, please shop around, always get a second opinion. Use these guys if you must, but get a second opinion before you okay any work other then an oil change. Ill be installing a new carburetor this spring, Ill have to eat that $680 that I gave Wynn for bad advise. Note, I keep saying Wynn. Because the mechanics were shocked I was rebuilding it and not replacing it. Wynn pushed hard on the rebuild. But I get it, more hours in rebuilding then replacing. You got me there World Auto. I just hope other customers read this. FYI, I found that warm happy shop. Ive been taking my Impala to Midas of Eden Prairie. The guys have been great and have gone above and beyond on repairs and services Ive needed. I never leave there feeling like Ive been taken advantage of and the mechanics are always 100% and the same page as the advisers. Thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck to you.
