I personally have only gone to Arden's Auto twice since owning my car, but I won't be going anywhere else for my car care or emergency vehicle issues. The gentlemen there are always so kind, helpful and always smiling even when it's something expensive. They are always great to explain why something needs to be replaced, what's wrong, how it needs to be done. Arden himself is a very kind and gentle man! Definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone and everyone with a car. New and old! Ardens definitely has you covered! Thanks Arden and his amazing mechanics for always having my car, safety and wallets back!

Bought a car from this place in August 2023, and I've had problems ever since. Within 2 weeks, less than 500 miles, we started hearing this rattling coming from the exhaust, and the check engine light came on. We took it to a mechanic and discovered that the entire heat shield, and a portion of the exhaust was held together by JB Weld and foil tape, and there was an issue with the mass airflow sensor, He also discovered that the oil level was low, and the remaining oil was very dirty and hasn't been replaced in some time, so we decided to change it. When doing the oil change, they discovered that the oil pan plug was stripped, and we would need to have the oil pan replaced. We called the dealer and he offered to "tap" the drain pan, which involves making a hole in the drain pan, and putting in a plug. He also put an oil change sticker that said to come back in 1500 miles.

Arden's is the BEST place for any and all of your automotive needs. His staff is great. It's and old school shop run by an old school owner. They're always willing to work with you to get your car fixed. My brother recently purchased a van from there and couldn't be happier. If you're looking for top quality work from a friendly place look no further then Arden's.

Arden was super friendly and helpful. I had to get a tire repaired last minute and he helped me for a really low fee. I also needed to get some axel work done and brakes replaced all the way around. There was something wrong with the parking break after and he rode along with me to check it out. They fixed the problem immediately unlike another shop I was at that left a lot of things wrong with the vehicle afterwards. I would highly recommend this shop.Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

Every one's right about Arden and his staff for mechanical repairs and work. They are all great in pricing..and fair. Knowledgeable.Selling cars? Not so much. Stick with mechanical work Arden. Thats your expertise. Selling cars will only ruin your good name.

Fast, friendly, and best of all, very aware of cost of repairs. Duke went over what was wrong with my brakes and gave me a very frank and honest assessment. I walked out not just feeling like my car was in good hands, I know it. There's a reason Arden has been there for around 50 years.

When my car died, he bought it for scrap for more than I asked, loaned me a vehicle for days for absolutely free, and inspected the new car I was considering buying for free. An absolute treasure of a human being.

As a mother of 4 that just moved here, it was important to find an honest mechanic. As a female with an expensive car, in nursing, at the hospital, most mechanics see dollar signs. I have had my eye on Arden's for months, and after going through reviews and calling, I am sure this is where I want to invest my money. I received an honest quote and breakdown over the phone. He also told me how long it will take. They even offer loaner vehicles. I will be coming in soon. Most importantly Happy belated 75th Birthday to Mr. Arden!! May you be blessed with many more!!Update: June 20th, 2020. I sent my fianc� in because I had to stay home with the kids. We forgot that the BGC was closed. Mr. Arden, God BLESS you!! You did not disappoint me. We have found our new trusted mechanic. You sent him home with the same tip I told him to do last month, we just didn't want belt to slip. There is NOTHING like finding a mechanic you can trust!! Thank you!!

came from 3 hours away to look at a vehicle. we specifically asked if the vehicle had rust and if there was anything wrong with the vehicle...we were told a small rust patch on one side of the vehicle...upon arrival and looking at the vehicle it was apparent BOTH sides of the car was severely rusted...looked under the vehicle and the frame was completely rusted throughout!! I mean actually holes and tape was used to try and hide the rust patches!!! They knew it was for my 16 year old...we are extremely upset about the deception this dealer tried to play!!! AND THE 6 HOURS of time we wasted...also we were told the brakes were changed and other things were done...when we got there we were told the brakes were looked at and were fine but not replaced...also the other items were not done but he would take 300.00 off...umm no...save the trouble look elsewhere!!!

I picked up my car before it was serviced, they said it took them two hours to find a radiator hose. So I paid for the part and there time to find out when I tried to put it on it was the wrong size. I give them an F on there service.

My car battery died when it was below zero and I needed my car that day as I was moving into a new home and the guys at Arden s were able to replace it for me on the spot and allow me to continue on my day worry free. They were very friendly and helpful, I would recommend this shop to anyone in the La Crosse area

Was asking to take a car i was looking to purchase to another shop for a 2cd opinion which i was told by Arden it was wasting my money and they do it for half the cost. Which they only put the vehicle up and were doing the saftey inspection only after i asked to take it into another shop. and i could have purchsed it before hand not knowing they hadnt even looked at it which is required by law. Over all bad experience and seemed very shady wouldnt recommend buying a vehicle there.

Had my brakes repaired here, and when something went wrong while i was on a road trip home, they covered the cost to repair it! Would highly recommended this shop, it can be hard to find honest and knowledgeable auto mechanics, but arden's certainly is one of them!

Always great service. Old school mechanics with the right prices. They have been quick with my work and have communicated well between the time I drop my car off and the time I pick it up. No surprises here.

Pretty much lied about everything with the car he sold me. I'll never trust him again. All I've got to say is karma is on her way Arden.
