How to get here from Rosemount
Head west on County Road 42. Turn right, which is north, onto Cedar Avenue. Then turn left on 147th Street West. The shop is at 7540 147th St W, just west of Cedar.
One thing helps on the first visit. County Road 42 is 150th Street where it meets Cedar, so you are only on Cedar for a short stretch. Start watching for 147th as soon as you make the turn.
Is the drive from Rosemount worth it?
Honest answer: it depends on the job. The drive pays off most when something is wrong and nobody has pinned down why. A check engine light that keeps coming back. A noise under braking that might be pads, or might be something else.
We diagnose before we replace parts. Guessing gets expensive fast, because each wrong guess is a part you paid for that did not fix the car. Once we know the cause, we tell you which repairs are urgent and which can wait a few months, and you decide what gets done.
Auto repair for Rosemount, MN drivers: planning around the drive
The shop is open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm, and closed on weekends. If you work days, the after-hours key drop is the simple fix. Leave the car the evening before and it is here when the bays open.
For a longer repair, ask about a loaner car or a shuttle ride when you request an appointment. Both depend on what is available that day, so ask early. The online form is a request, and we call you to confirm the time.
Short jobs are easier. An oil change takes 30 to 60 minutes with an appointment, which is short enough to wait for.
What County Road 42 miles do to a car
Highway speeds in summer and road salt all winter are a hard mix. Salt collects underneath, where nobody looks, and slowly eats at exhaust pipes and brake lines. By the time a muffler gets loud, the rust has usually been working for a while.
Potholes do their damage in spring. One hard hit can knock the alignment out, and the first sign is often a steering wheel that sits crooked on a straight road or a tire wearing down on one edge. We handle exhaust and muffler repair, brake repair and wheel alignment on a computerized alignment machine, for domestic and foreign vehicles.
