                      Randy did an excellent job repairing major body damage on a 2013 Ram 2500. Its paint and finish looked better than new. I was also pleasantly surprised that the repair bill was quite reasonable. The previous body shop estimate in the cities was $15k more than Interstate auto. So If you need auto body repair, this is the place to trust for your ride repairs. God bless!

                      The crew here does a great job. Reasonable prices, hard work. They keep my 2006 Ford truck in great shape. Getting new truck bed and bumper this week. Later this summer doors and rusted areas.

                      I can not say enough good about this company. I was traveling and was 1 1/2 hours away from my destination. My tire gage went from 36 to 10 in a second. I was losing air fast and called them and had no problem getting me in right away, they fixed my tire instantly and got us back on the road super fast! Highly Recommend best company in area! Thank you again

                      I'm in St Could, from Florida for my job. The guys that work here are amazing! They don't lie to you and they don't rob you, like alot of shops will. I've brought both my vehicles here a handful of times, and they are the only mechanics I will use while here in Minnesota. I highly recommend them! Very fair prices and honest answers.

                      Interstate Automotive does a good job; with experienced knowledgeable mechanics. Currently, in a transition with one owner taking the reigns for Interstate Automotive. Looking forward to trust my cars to Interstate Automotive.

                      AVOID....AAA sent them to tow our 76 corvette.  When it got to the dealer the driver "admittedly" put a hole in the side and now they won't pay to have it fixed.  The owner Scott said that the car is old and "brittle"  They offered to paint the part but I would have to do the labor, bring them the part and reassemble the part.  Scott the owner said that "he is the one feeling scammed"  WOW....  avoid these people if possible

                      Our family has used this Automotive service for years, they are friendly but don't sugar coat the facts and issues with your vehicle.They have worked on all makes and models of our many beat up cars over the years. When my car's frame began to rot out, they told me it was unlikely to be worth putting more money into the vehicle. They put an entire new bed on the pickup. When we gained a diesel engine they were straight with us when they were unable to do something, referring us to another mechanic.Straight up bunch of guys. The dog wandering the property trying to play fetch with anyone and everyone creates the perfect ambiance of a small business that gets things done.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

                      Overpriced vehicles. They aren't Mydus, the vehicles aren't gold.  Used cars are priced as if new: Totally Outrageous. No car is worth 40-80k let along 2-3m. Manufacturers, dealers, even private party sellers have gone bonkers. People should stop buying anything for a couple years and maybe prices would become reasonable. If a vehicle loses 50% after driving off lot don't you think it's overpriced? It's your money to spend be smartly or not.

                      These guys saved us in a pinch. Towed our F250 and 26ft trailer to the shop for a quick fix in the middle of our 4hr trip. Super friendly guys, affordable and fast service. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys, you're the best.

                      Very pleased with customer service. We are visiting MN from Payson, AZ .When the scheduled time was not going to be met, the driver called to tell us that he would be delayed. When he arrived,  he was very helpful and did a diagnostic.  He also gave us a ride back to the residence.  Very pleased with the service and would recommend.

                      How many times can you say that your day was actually improved after needing a tow? After my interaction with Dan H. from Interstate Automotive, I can now say that s happened to me. After dealing with a tow driver earlier that day, it did not end well, I was not expecting this interaction to go well either. Cue Dan, he blatantly wore a smile as he pulled up and turned a bad situation into a good one. The profound effects a single good interaction can have really make all of the difference. He did not have to lighten up the mood, all he had to do was his job. He chose to make someone else s day instead. I can confidently say that I would recommend Interstate Automotive. Thank you Dan Dan!Service: Car towing

                      Nothing could be better.  Had a breakdown on I-94.  They towed me in and got right on fixing the problem.  Very personable and kind staff.  And the bill was only half of what I would have expected if in a large metro area.  Five stars all the way!

                      Satisfied with their painting, but scratched my bumper while putting it on, one of my back up sensors are not fully put in, my exhaust pipe is moved and some what loose now, had my car running for as far as I know 40 minutes for no reason (must ve forgot to turn off the push to start) and overall could ve definitely been put on with better care. Cheap but I wish I went to a shop that cared more.

                      The crew over @ interstate have been nothing but excellent to family and I. My parents, my grandparents, mother in law, my wife and I all bring our vehicles to them. The service is great.  The technitions treat you with respect. And they are always willing to answer even the dumbest of questions.     I highly recommend this company to anyone!!!!

                      Had my rear bumper painted here. The location is definitely not the most scenic, its a locally owned business, but great customer service and I would recommend.

                      I've had several vehicles towed and/or jumped and the service was professional, fast, and reasonable each time!
