Great honest people

I Love Ideal Auto! Friendly, efficient, on time, and great affordable prices. I highly recommend them! They take the time to explain and show you the problems and issues with your car. I truly believe they are top Of the line auto mechanics and techs. They know their stuff! Mark G Ness
I received a good service event. It was right at the end of a timely basis.
I arrived early for my appointment and got my car in a little early, which was a nice surprise. Very professional and friendly staff. I had my oil changed twice there and they do a complete check and let me know about additional concerns that I needed to address. No hard pressure to do anything immediately.
I was looking for looking for a long time to find a good car repair shop and I think I found it. I brought both my cars there Toyota RAV4 and Kia Seltos. Both repairs were done quickly and with fair price. I like the quality of the service, speed, and honesty with upfront cost. Great and thorough inspection, quickly…
Great customer service, explains everything in detail easy to understand and zero pressure to set up future services or repairs. Waiting area clean and pleasant. Timely service preformed. Highly recommended this shop to everyone!
I found these guys through local social media and then I got a coupon in the mail and let me tell you these guys did not disappoint. Loved the pick up from them to get my car when they were done. Stayed in communication via text , went the extra mile to look at a potential problem and even sent me a picture. I’ll be going back!
Friendly and fast. Will come back! You get valuable coupons in the mail, especially on your birthday! They’ve always been professional, and now the shop inside is remodeled to match their quality and service!
We take our company vehicles here, so that's how I found this place and they are great! They let you know if anything is wrong and don't pressure you to get it fixed right away if it is something that can wait. They are very honest and super nice.
Great friendly service as always.
They went beyond what experience has been with other garages. 🙂
Jason is very friendly and he explains everything. I was in and out quickly. I asked for tire rotation but he explained I only had 1500 miles on my tires so didn't need it yet.
Great service! These guys do a great job and I recommend anyone. We had our service done on a 2024 Honda Pilot. They send a detailed email report.
They were very kind and helpful, The wait wasn’t too long. They were very good at communication. Did a good job. Price was good!!
Always greated with a smile. Friendly people and great service.
I wish he worked later one night, Saturday a m .
As usual, Josh and the team are always extremely nice and responsive to our needs. Service is prompt and reliable with great rates. I always get an honest opinion on my cars as to their service needs and they leave it up to me to decide to move forward with any repairs but keeping me in the know as to how soon the…
Friendly peeps/ honest service
Ideal Automotive has always been the best. They are able to communicate and fix issues promptly and thoroughly. They also have very competitive prices. I have tried many auto shops in the area over the years, but none compare to this shop. I endorse them 100%.

This place is straight to the point and does a great job
These guys were great! Fast and a great deal.
Fast and easy oil change and tire repair. Didn't try and upsell me on anything and price was great.
I bring my car, and my daughters, to Ideal for any issues, oil changes, or even questions. They always provide top notch service, they are honest and not pushy.
This place is great! They’re always able to get me in quickly and priced fairly.
Honest and reliable work
Got there early. They got me in right away and out. Great service.
I will never go to any other location for oil changes. Literally the best auto shop I have ever been to. They always have coupons on their website even with the really good prices. Customer service is always amazing!
Excellent service and very informative. Fast, friendly, and respectful. Complete diagnostic, brakes, light tune-up, oil change, filter(s). All done in less then 24 hours (amazing). I recommend Ideal Automotive without reservation.
All around good people here and I will keep coming back.
They did a great job. I had an oil change, tire rotation and then some radiator issues or coolant problem. They fixed it found the issue and had my car good as new. I would definitely recommend this place. 😊
I've been going here for about a year and always have a great experience. They're reliable, quick, and fairly priced! If you get their mailer, they always have great deals on oil changes. They're also very friendly!
I had a great experience at ideal! They fit us in right away, and as they were doing the oil change to my wife’s car, the man at the front desk help me diagnose my own vehicles issues and look stuff up for me. Great place to go!
Ideal did great work on our. We came in with no appointment, and they accommodated us, and were able to take us right away.
Great service! Quick and timely!
Good service.
Got in quickly & the services provided were very reasonably priced. Josh let me know the other work that needed to be done on my vehicle and was honest about his concerns needing to be taken care of in a timely manner and he did all that without being pushy or over the top. I appreciate that especially when it comes…
New to Mn. First time experience. Clean, comfortable, professional appearance and atmosphere. We brought both vehicles in for oil change, general overall inspection and tire pressure sensor repairs. All was handled well and reasonably priced. OIL CHANGES ARE DIRT CHEAP. Impressed with how knowledgeable and…
Staff and mechanics were awesome. They got me in and out and updated me every few minutes. I will be back soon for a major service
Josh is very friendly and personable, which builds trust to believe him and his crew for needed services. He does not push, but let’s you decide. His prices are reasonable. I have been satisfied since first trying Ideal Automotive in Nov 2021.
Outstanding!!! Finally a place I feel like I can trust!! I will tell all my friends and family them!!
Great customer service! These guys are 100% honest and I appreciate it when it comes to repairing my vehicle. Josh was very helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks!
Great work! fast service & a reasonable price!
Called about an expired coupon I had received for an oil change, told me to bring it on in. Check engine light was on due to a thermostat so we scheduled that repair along with a flush and my vans been good to go since. Just had that good honest feel ya know, josh is not out to make a quick buck but rather establish a relationship of long term business
Super fast and courteous service unbelievably professional and just a pleasant experience all and all I will be returning when needed in the future.
Best service I’ve ever gotten
Great shop! Fair, honest, professional, and affordable.
So glad my friend recommended Ideal Automotive. I'm very happy with their service. Definitely will recommend them to my friends and family. Thanks!!
After hearing about the great service that family members have received from Ideal, we decided to try them out. We were not disappointed! Had ALL fluids changed, new brakes, wipers, plugs, etc and are all set for winter. Work was done on time and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend Ideal!
Standard oil change for my Tundra. They had a peek and saw brakes were wearing funny. Nice catch!!
I bring multiple cars and trucks there. Also my mothers mini van. The 2 Josh's are great guys. Both honest and knowledgeable. I've been going there for 5 years now... I trust them 100%. Update to this post, I am still servicing all my vehicles here at ideal and I couldnt be happier. Thank you Josh
I've been going to ideal automotive for over 2 years. These guys provide great work and great customer service. I've had oil changes with free tire rotation, brake work and air conditioning service. All services have been excellent .

I got a coupon in the mail for this shop & after seeing the great reviews I decided to try them out for my much needed oil change. They were quick, friendly, and the cost was exactly what was stated on the phone. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Ideal Automotive! 😄
Very friendly and fast service
Josh and crew are fabulous! They are very friendly and trustworthy. I know that I am getting great value and service for my money.
Great place! Honest guys, I scheduled online. When I went in for the appointment time, they were very honest and offered to comp. my oil change because after 10 or 15 minutes they weren’t able to get my car up just because of some other vehicle. Ryan gave GREAT customer service and was a wonderful guy, Josh the…
