Bob the owner is such a great guy! He not only fixed my vehicle for half as much as most other shops, but he went through a $3500 estimate I received from a Midas and showed me how dishonest and WRONG it was... Thank you Bob! See you next oil change!!

EXCELLENT business. I took my Jeep to Firestone and they told me it would be $2,200 more on their THIRD attempt to fix the problem. I dropped it off with Bob and he correctly identified the problem and fixed it for $530.00. What's even better, is that I had left the estimate from Firestone out and Bob had seen it and didn't use it as an opportunity to charge more for the repair. He kind of laughed when he said he read it because Firestone had completely misdiagnosed the problem, saying it was a Ball Joint that had to be cut out causing the replacement of the Half Shaft, Strut Mount and Sway Bars. The problem was a simple drive shaft... BOB IS THE BEST!!!

I initially used Bob's Auto Services because it was walking distance from my house and I could limp the car over to them. I will continue to use them because they provide excellent service and don't try to up-sell on crap you don't need. They're honest about the problems, fair in the quotes, and quick with the turn-around for a small shop. I will continue to use Bob's as long as this shop is around.

I recommend Bob's Auto Service! Gets the job done and knows what he's doing. Very reasonable pricing, as well. I dropped off my car and keys on a Sunday night, and they had it done the next day. I'll be using Bob's in the future.

How many times have you left a Auto Repair Shop Feeling Soaked? To be quite honest I lost count. Once, Twice was more than enough. I took a friends advice and I brought my vehicle here. Let me tell you had I did that before finally getting tired of leaving other repair shops soaked with my pockets hanging out my pants. I would have been much happier. One thing I really like about this place is they will look at your vehicle for free and tell you what's wrong give you an honest estimate which by the way is definitely far less than any repair shop I've ever been to in all my 30 some years of dealing with repair shops. You need air in a tire swing through they are at your service, you got a turn signal out stop in don't call they are at your service. Best of all they are always friendly and service with a smile.

Called community auto repair today. Although Jason was not able to handle doing the work my vehicle required he also, admitted oil changes are cheaper elsewhere. I have worked with him in the past very honest trustworthy individual who will get the work done right will definitely be giving him a call for any future auto repair needs I need done. Thank you Jason for your honesty!

Best Auto Repair in St Paul, honest fast accurate what more can you ask for? Charged less than quoted how often does that happen for a car repair? Great service and communication, Bob is the best... five stars I would have given more if there was more to give.

I have been going here for almost a decade along with a few of my family members.... Even with the change in ownership— this place never fails to be not only honest, but timely! Always making you a priority. I was especially impressed with my last visit. Shout out to Karen! Always asking the right questions and being so knowledgeable and helpful and to Jason for having my car done in such a timely manner. I no longer stress when it comes to having a repair or even basic maintenance. Thank you!

A true definition of a Friendly. Trustworthy business professional. Quick Call back. Easy Booking and I am very fortunate that Jason was able to work with my last minute/short notice booking and had my car done and running the very next day. Topped my fluids without me asking. Awesome surprise especially being a women who doesn't check fluids. His pricing was the best part he beat everybody else's price. I will be a return customer. I will recommend his location. Very accessible. 10 stars A++ Service. Thank you Community Auto Repair.

I was charged for dropping off my car to have them check a few things. Only to be told I am being charged diagnostically. The manager was not friendly when I had asked why I'm being charged and why he didn't tell me about being charged before agreeing to leaving my car there. He said DO YOU THINK WE WORK FOR FREE? ARE YOU NOT GOING TO PAY!? It wasn't that i was refusing to pay, it was your fault you didn't communicate your charges when I was on the phone with you. I even called vs. Walking in out of courtesy a day before. My car took 4 plus hours to simply check if there we're issues, i left with no concrete answers. Anyone would feel this way, if they weren't aware of charges before hand. One of the employees who rung me up was saying that I was complaining. I'm sure if it we're you or your family member, friend, you would have questioned the same thing. One other employee actually was the only one who listened and understood. He handed me 20 back sadly no apologies given. 20 min wait for a receipt to tell me what the charges were. Lesson learned to not give people the benefit of the doubt, ask to see if they charge before ending the phone call or dropping off your car for them to service. I do not recommend this shop for your repairs period.

Excellent service. Family business, Carlos and his brother (I think his name was Vincent) were very professional. I don't usually leave reviews unless the service was absolutely the best and these guys have all my future business. They did what they said they were going to do and they did it in a timely manner for a reasonable price.

These guys are the absolute best in the city and deserve more recognition. Very good prices compared to franchise and chain auto shops. My mechanic was texting me pictures and updates concerning what had to be done to the car and how it is done. He even offered a video chat. What caught my attention was the price of the diagnostic is about $75-$85 less than anywhere else ($100 flat) and if you decide to fix what was found in the diagnostic, they waive the $100 dollar charge and charge you for parts and labor (also very reasonable costs). On top of all of that they had my car done in about 2 to 3 hours the same day on New Year's when everyone else was closed and my car was fixed and they took very good care of me. Thank you Charly's!

Got the car back the same day even though it was Saturday and they were unsure they’d get to it until Monday - good communication, super nice guys, saved & made my weekend ☺️

Bring cash for a small discount/ avoid card fees. The lot looks like a mess but don't let that scare you. They took pictures and videos to actually show AND TELL me what was going on with my car at MULTIPLE points along the process, and without me asking. They didn't charge for an evaluation since I did repairs with them, and it was a decent price as far as I can tell. That and they got me in within 24 hours and had my car fixed that day it got in. I believe this is actually called Charlie's auto repair now though. That was the only thing I think was even a problem, my confusion about whether I'd gone to the wrong after they were already working on my car 😅

Hung up in my face and would not see my car for no apparent reason. I'm just going to assume he didn't know how to do it. That was very rude I live right by you and thought I would be using you for all my services but you just rejected me and kept hanging up in my face. I literally dont understand what the problem was. Use communication. I'm disgusted with how you handled our interaction. And yes this is the female that was in scrubs that came around 4pm on 3/2/26. I was referred to fix em all and they got me an appointment for tomorrow.

Called for a quote on transmission fluid drain and fill. The guy I spoke with says he needed my VIN number or else he can't help me out. First time I've ever heard that. Guess he never heard of year model and make. Absolutely poor customer service and seems like he could care less. Won't be using this joint ever.
