There is a reason that this business is always busy. I ve never encountered such a great auto repair place! The Formos truly provide amazing work and customer service. Not only did they complete the work at a reasonable cost, but they also did it ahead of when it was scheduled to be completed. Definitely recommend!

I found myself in the dire place, I needed help getting an oil filter wrench because my semi had jelled up. I was not even a customer, and Adam went to bat for me, secured me an oil filter wrench, and helped get me back on the road. It may not sound like much, but to me, it meant the world, and I can tell you the kind of people that do that for strangers, Are absolutely amazing! My hats off to pebble lake auto care!

In 2020 my car s engine gave out near Pebble Lake Auto. They stored my car for nearly a month waiting for the engine to ship, and did a great job on the engine install. My Mercedes has been running like new ever since. Amazing job, I d recommend them to anyone, Thanks.Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

I just wanted to say I had the best experience with Pebble Lake Auto repair. I had problems with my catalytic converter and Ben Formo the service manager was very honest and super fast with getting my car repaired while I was on vacation. He was able to save me quite a bit of money too! I couldn t have found a better place to get the repairs done. You don t come across such honest trustworthy and hard working people like this every day. I m so thankful to have been referred by Gary at Fergus Falls Tire Center. Thanks again for everything!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

Great group of guys. I brought my car in there for a wheel bearing. They checked it out and gave me a quote. Something broke along the way and since I don't know a lot about vehicles, I had asked for them to save it to explain to me what happened. Ben was really nice and had no problems doing so. He only had me pay for the part, which I thought was pretty nice of him to not charge me for labor. I'm back on the road and I will be back for future repairs!Service: General repairs & maintenance

I had been using these guys for some time and was satisfied until they pulled the dishonesty game. Let me ask you? If you suggest to a mechanic that you think it's your starter, do they just replace your starter based on your hunch, or do they diagnose first? Because they blamed me, the customer for putting in a starter. Apparently I was supposed to 'ASK' FOR A DIAGNOSIS. Say what? In my 40 plus years dealing with mechanics that's an absolute first! Then they decided it wasn't the starter after I shelled out hundreds of dollars. Now it's the timing chain. Oh, they are 99% sure! But again, no offer of a diagnosis! They were just willing to spend another grand of my money! Come to find out its probably the VTC Actuator. And a diagnosis will be performed at my old mechanic shop in Fargo. And they just up and said well we will diagnose this and see what it is first. Like mechanics are supposed to say.Crazy! Well, Pebble lost my trust. And my business. How easy it would have been to just admit they screwed up. I could have forgiven that.

I needed exhaust on my Buick van. As a professional mechanic myself, I was very happy with the level of service I recieved through this entire experience. The quality of work is excellent, and a very fair price. Thank you Adam, Ben and PL staff!

The guys here were very helpful and professional. When they were busy, they let me know, so I wasn't expecting something sooner. I'd rather know than be told different just to get me in the door. Great group and reasonably priced. Definitely going back if I ever need work done again.

I am traveling from Seattle and I had to get a last minute repair on my car and Ben took care of what I needed done and made sure my car was safe to finish driving back to the east coast. Definitely recommend if you are in the Fergus Falls area and you need a car repair. NICEST people and amazing service.

The guys working helped me when I was in a pinch - I ended up with a flat tire trying to head home. They were very respectful, professional, and went above and beyond. They even offer a 5% discount for students! They're located about an hour away from where I live but I would definitely make the drive to them for any car needs because I know they'd take good care of me. I highly recommend them!!

They are the best! I have them do all of the work on my family's cars. They stand behind their work. They do things the right way. I recently had a power steering pump replaced about a month ago. Yesterday the new pump failed. They got my car into the shop and a new one was replaced and they didn't charge me anything. They are Awesome!

Polite, professional, and always helpful. An example: I had some work done at Pebble Lake Auto and promptly relocated. It appeared that the brakes that I had replaced failed after 800 mile of highway driving. After speaking with Adam, there was no argument about the repairs. He was helpful, understanding and quick to offer solutions to the problem. They had insurance to cover faulty parts or service. It was not the brakes after the car was examined. What struck me the most is that Adam offered to speak with me about the service that seemed necessary. He was willing to explain what I would hear and feel while driving and double checked the repair costs estimated by the new mechanic. These guys are a breath of fresh air!

Worst place to go for a woman to get a car fixed! They lied to me and put my part in backwards! I ended up getting it fixed somewhere else and they had to pay for it! They told me I didn't know how to drive my car

Big Thank You to Adam and the folks at Pebble Lake Auto Repair!!! Travelling back from ND yesterday, August 15, 2018, lost the alternator out on the freeway. Luckily made it to the PLAR and it was diagnosed, part ordered and delivered by NAPA and on the road in 35 minutes. Now that's customer service!!! This all happened one hour before closing time.Adam knew we were travelling through and made this all happen.Very friendly and helpful!!

About 5 years back my I was driving to wefest with my wife and friends. We were running late. Our tire blew on 94 and we put the spare on. The spare was low on air so we hit a gas station to fill it up, and I broke the stem half way off. The local mailman helped me rig it up so it wouldn't leak much and we headed for pebble lake auto. They just so happened to have the same tires as my brand new back 2. They had us in and out at a great rate with great service. We didn't miss a thing at wefest. Everytime I drive by they're Exit I think if you're going to break down truck... now is the time!
