what our customers are saying

I have been taking my cars to Nisswa Automotive since I moved up here from the Twin Cities in 1999. When I have work done, it’s done right every time. The guys seem to care (and that’s usually not the case elsewhere). They fix only what needs fixing. When your car goes through their doors, you can put your mind at ease.

Bob

On a recent vacation to the Nisswa area, my Audi broke down. I was afraid that I wouldn’t find a repair shop that was qualified to fix my car. Jeff got me back on the road in no time. He was honest about what my car needed and got my approval to do the repair before proceeding. Great, honest service! I am “over-joyed” with my mechanic!

Joy

I have been a customer of Nisswa Auto for about 10 years. I have always received prompt, courteous and fair attention without fail over that time. I operate vehicles that are not new . . . one is nearing the 200,000 mile mark! The crew never seems appalled at what I bring in – they just dig in and sort out the problem. My wife holds Jeff personally responsible for the condition of the tires on her car. When I tell her that her tires look fine, she is not satisfied until Jeff or one of the guys have checked it with a tire gauge – it’s nice to have someone she accepts as actually knowing what they are talking about. I wholeheartedly recommend the work done at Nisswa Automotive. Life is too short and too busy to have to shop around for good service. This is it.

Bill

The word that comes to mind first when I think of taking all my vehicles to Nisswa Automotive is TRUST! They not only fix what is wrong, they also check for any other issues. I don’t ever have to worry they are ‘fixin’ something that doesn’t need ‘fixin.’ TRUST is what I know at Nisswa Automotive.

Kayla

Nisswa Auto. . . consistent, top-notch and helpful customer service. Their prices are fair and you get good work for your dollar. I am a long-time patron who will not take my business anywhere but Nisswa Auto. You can trust Jeff and his team! Great company!
