Overall very good experience with the service and owner. If it is not needed, we should explicitly let them know that washer fluid is not required. Can purchase a whole gallon of wash fluid and put them myself

I have a PRIUS. My low beam headlamp was out I called the dealer for a price. They said either $200 or $600 for the repair. I then went to Automate Car Repair. They put a new low beam for $47. It now works perfectly. I was impressed.

This is the best repair shop in St Paul. Might a little extra time but the work is spectacular. Ivan won't steer you wrong! He'll give you a brake! I've done exhaustive research!

Super friendly, quick and reasonably priced! I noticed my car had a tire leaking on a Sunday night, got in right away Monday morning, and they had my tire patched by noon the same day for $40

I have had fantastic experience with this shop on all of my cars and kids cars and friends cars over the past 5 years. Great friendly personal service. One issue I had was so perplexing, no power, timing off, etc. Thought I might have to replace the transmission, but he found a slightly worn key connecting the crank shaft to the timing sprocket and replaced that and fixed everything. Can't recommend him highly enough .

It's the place you wish you knew about. As good as it gets for an auto repair shop. Efficient, priced right, and not pushy. Can't wait to tell my inner circle of friends when they ask, " You know of good repair shop?" Thank you!

Honestly this auto shop is one of my favorite things about the neighborhood. The owner, Ivan, is always so nice and gets my car worked on in a timely manor. I always feel like I am paying a fair price for the work too. Will definitely be taking my car to Automate from here on out!

My water pump went out in my vehicle. I called, talked with the owner and explained my situation. I was able to bring my vehicle in the following morning and diagnosed and repaired. Such great service! Highly recommend!!

Ivan and his team are amazing! He’s very sincere, and the time frame for completing the job was incredibly quick. The work was also well done. He has many great reviews and recommendations from the neighborhood Facebook group. I personally highly recommend him!

Fantastic customer service! They were able to get my vehicle in and out quickly the next day. They are transparent about what is going on with the vehicle and charge very reasonable prices. I would recommend them to everyone!

I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. The service is fantastic, With an extreme attention to detail. Super honest and the pricing is great. Oh, also they can get you in really fast. And they actually pick up the phone. I am an extremely savvy car service person. I read tons of reviews and do my research before taking my car into a shop This shop doesn't have a ton of reviews on Google yet, however it is widely known in the neighborhood that this is a great shop.

I highly recommend Automate. They are very transparent and trustworthy and have excellent customer service. Ivan and Noelle are very easy to work with. I really love having them in the neighborhood, but I would drive from farther away to Automate. They are just that good.

I've been taking my car here for a little over a year now and have had wonderful experiences both with addressing problems with my car as well as general maintenance needs. They are honest folks and I would recommend them to anyone!

Very impressed! After reading recommendations on a neighborhood FB page, I brought my ‘05 CRV here for a starter replacement. I didn’t have an appointment because it hadn’t turned over for several days, but it finally caught enough to start today so I drove straight there to ask if they could fit it in over the next week. Ivan was very professional and friendly. He said he’d call in a few hours with an estimate - and he did. He then said he had a cancellation so he’d try to get me done today or tomorrow, and called this afternoon to say it was ready! The price was fair (right in the middle of the approx estimates I’d seen online) and the service was fast. He even stayed open and waited for me to walk back to the shop to pick it up. I have found my new mechanic! Note: It’s in the alley behind Front Street. Shop is on one side and office on the other, you can’t miss it once you pull into the alley…
