Whether for myself or for my family, Lancer not only meets expectations, but exceeds in their overall approach to auto care. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend Lancer for all auto care needs, whether ongoing maintenance or repair work!

Great company! I had trouble with my battery not starting and they actually recommended using insurance first so it would save me money instead of sending someone out. Once I got it jumped, I brought it in for them to check and they charged the battery to full charge and told me that the battery still had a few years left on it, so I just needed to run it more. When I asked how much it would cost, they said that they wouldn't charge me for the services that day! They even followed up with a phone call and a hand written letter wanting to know how the car was doing and to offer their appreciation

I have brought my truck into Lancers four times now. After driving across country to move to Minneapolis, I was in desperate need of a tune up. I saw the high reviews and I reached out immediately. They were happy to have my truck and took my concerns seriously. I even recommended them to my friends and roommates.
My last experience, however, was so poor that I will not be returning to Lancers despite their overall customer service. Heres the reason.
After my car was broken into and someone jammed the key ignition, my keys were unable to turn the ignition longer. On top of it, my TMPS light

Absolute best, I'm from out of town and had my oil pump go out on a newer model chevy. Its a 14 hour job and these guys stayed after hours to get me back on the road and did not price gouge me in fact I'd call them extremely reasonable. They have top tier techs the latest diagnostic software, a clean inviting environment and a honest as can be. They tried replacing the oil filter first to see if i was getting a false reading on my check engine light. I wouldn't take my truck anywhere else I wish I lived closer. Thanks guys!

After moving to st paul, I needed to find a mechanic near me that felt trustworthy and worth the money. Lancer is exactly that, I showed up this morning with a mess of a car and they got me all set in the same day. It feels like the kind of place that's run by mechanics who are into their job and not just punching the clock for some chain run place.
Repairs are always stressful and more than i want to pay, lol, but I left feeling like it was very fair and well done. I'll be back, for sure!

My partner is rotating in MN right now and had some unexpected break work that needed to be done quickly as he determined the car would not be safe for him or others to drive given what was going on. Not only was he GROSSLY overcharged ($550 AFTER using a coupon for 1 caliper, 1 rotor and set of brake pads on front (left and right)....parts are less than $200 and i have never, on any car I own, paid this much money for this kind of work) but he was treated with such absolute disrespect and disdain from the service manager. He talked down to my partner, showed no empathy for being caught in a difficult

This place is pretty great. First thing I have to admit is I'm a terrible car owner. I remember to get my oil changed (most of the time) and for the rest of my motto (what's a motto?) is that the lights will turn on when it's important. A couple weeks ago, the lights finally turned on. Well now I'm in a bind because Jiffy Lube is not a mechanic. I yelpped (of course) and talked to friends, and both recommend this place. Awesome possum. Take it in with a laundry list of things I've been saving up. It's an '08 so there were a number of them. Turn around

I took my old girl in to have her looked at. I was having issues with the car starting, so my mechanic suggested Lancer, since the work that needed to be done, they could not do. I called and spoke with Kevin and made an appt to drop her off. Convenient downtown location, since I work over by the Capitol. Unfortunately, Kevin called with bad news...they did an overall inspection and found other stuff that needed attention. And instead of trying to hustle me out of money (the repairs were more than what my car was worth, she is 12 yrs old), Kevin was extremely honest and upfront. And when I stopped

I've been coming to Lancer since around 1994 I think. They kept my SAAB's running over the years so I saw them pretty regularly. :) Had a short stint with a Chevy van that came in to often as well. Now I'm only in for regular maintenance items on my Toyota's as they just don't need much for repair.
They always take the time to answer my questions and help me learn more about my cars as I do a lot of basic maintenance myself.
All the staff working there are highly qualified mechanics themselves, no rookies at this shop. You get what you pay for.

I had a great customer service experience here. Originally slated to do a double replacement of wheel bearings (per dealership), the staff determined only one bearing was faulty, kept in communication w each step and cost variance, and had my car done within a timeframe that was also communicated.
Pricing was consistent and staff was professional and personable. I will be a return client.

Excellent service, repairs ranked in order of urgency, and they're honest about what you actually "need." I appreciated the fact that I didn't notice any difference in the way they spoke to me vs. male customers (many women will get why that's important--most of us have stories) and they get that most people can't just fork over ALL THE MONEY because they said so. They also discounted the labor on an urgent repair they discovered after they gave me a quote and I overheard them explain to a customer that his invoice was less than the quote because it took them less

Nice people who do a great job. They have been in business for a long time and I can see why
I was impressed with the entire experience and I hate going to a garage as I know only a little about cars, so they can tell me just about anything, and I have to believe them. I can tell from the report I got that they are an honest shop, which I greatly appreciate
I would give them 5 stars, except I asked them to tell me the code associated with an engine light warning and they wanted to charge me 50 bucks or so. Their position is, if we do it, we do it completely, and that takes time. My position is

This is one of the best business/services I've ever encountered! My car unexpectedly sputtered into Lancer an hour before they closed... they were able to get it into the shop in a matter of minutes, get the part I needed delivered AND had me back on the road the same night.
The 8 blend Keurig coffee bar was a nice perk, while waiting.
Thanks Lancer, I'll be coming back!

For those that want the quick review, great friendly service. I brought my car from Hudson and would bring our other vehicles back as well.
Long version, I was looking for someone to tune my Corvette and all the recommended tuners were way on the other side of the cities. Way west side. Just by a chance meeting, I was recommended to Carl and Lancer. I called and talked to Carl. I explained what modifications I had done to the car and he suggested what should be done for the tune. The shop was in a easy to get to location and my car was stored inside overnight. I dropped the car off and Carl explained
