What clients say about Don's Circle Service in Lino Lakes (MN)
They took care of the immediate repair, and gave me options on the repairs that need to be addressed. They had a courtesy car available so I did not have to miss work. Matt & Tony and the guys seem knowledgeable and friendly.
Not the first time I use this guys and it won't be my last, I'm very pleased with the overall experience from price to delivering my vehicle when they say they will.
Matt asked me to leave my car, which allows them to charge for as much time as they want. They couldn't have spent more than 10 minutes on finding that I needed an audio control module. They did not open the center counsel to find a part number. Just gave an off the top of there head it would cost $ 1200 to repair and replace a new module. I was charged over $100 for them to spend 10 minutes on my car. Does that sound fair?
These guys were great! My vehicle had a fairly complex problem (that 3 other shops could not rectify). They fixed it in a timely fashion and communicated with me so I knew how long i would be without my vehicle without surprises. Highly recommend!
Always a good experience- I think this is the best shop around. Great service, trustworthy mechanics, and patience with all of my questions. I appreciate that you gave me the option of a cheap, quick fix, but also the full repair info.
Tried & True! The most reliable, professional, honest & affordable Automotive Service in the Centennial Area. Been taking vehicles here for decades...yes decades! Thank you to Jason, Matt & Tony and the Crew for taking great care & getting me back on the road. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I needed a car maintenance just right before the Holidays. I was fit in their schedule and was done promptly, giving me the peace of mind.
I have been with Don’s Circle Service for a few years now and I’m happy with their work.
My request for an oil change on line was answered promptly. Service was quick. Asked them to check my tire pressure. Was given a list of items that need attention, but did not pressure sale them.
Well, I really didn’t get any resolution to the problem. The problem I was having it was the truck was not even starting and it was just clicking on the dashboard, but nobody seems to be able to diagnose it, but including another place, but it would’ve been nice to have a little bit better attitude when talking to me on the phone. I really got the feeling like oh yeah she is just one of dumb women who don’t know what you’re talking about well I’m not dumb and I do know for a fact that with the same problem, I got it stuck at a state park with a horse in the trailer and my truck wouldn’t start and I had a good 40 miles to go Some gentleman at that campground said he disconnected the solenoid and then it started but then he told me to take it in so I never know if I get in the truck it’s going to start or not.
I was treated with the utmost respect at a place called Triple Tire, in Richmond when I needed their help they also got A tip from me because they treated me with respect and kindness.
The staff at Don’s is just fantastic. Been taking all our cars there since 2018. We’ve had normal maintenance and really specific fixes done and we always leave happy with everything fixed. I appreciate how we can discuss situations and decide if issues must be fixed immediately or if they can wait until they grow worse. We really trust them and would highly recommend Don’s Circle Service!
Matt was awesome as always
I have and will continue to refer anyone who needs any type of automotive repair
This company has always provided superior service
I can vouch for this being true as far back as the mid 80s
They have never fallen short of excellence
Tony, Matt and the entire team at Dons have always been honest, open and transparent. They try to accommodate everyone even when they are extremely busy. They communicate very well utilizing texts, phone calls and keep you informed while giving advice and seeking feedback/approval for repairs. I’ve always felt like I was treated fairly even when the cost of repairs, parts were high. Dons is my “go to” neighborhood repair shop I highly recommend.
I took my car in to address a sticking parking brake problem a car dealership had identified. The dealership quoted me $1200 to fix. Don’s quoted $350 for the same work. However, once they inspected my car while preparing to replace the brake caliper, they called me to let me know there was nothing wrong with the existing caliper that a little lubrication wouldn’t fix. The bill was only $85. I will definitely go back in the future!
After the 3rd time at another transmission place - I remembered schlens from snelling ave in st. Paul. They always fixed my electric problems. This time was no exception. They went overboard to make sure I would not have another problem. I highly recommend them
Great service and honest pricing as always. Glad I chose this place 3 years ago when we moved into the area. Highly recommend as a reliable and trustworthy shop!
Had my oil changed at our local, neighborhood shop, Don's Circle Service (as always) and they squeezed me in as I had forgotten to get it done on time (my bad!) and I was in and out in like 20 minutes. Always quick, always friendly and accommodating. Thanks again to Matt, Tony and the mechanics for gettin' it done!
Not only didn't they fix my car but they still charged me labor for looking at the problem 2 hrs worth of labor at $167 per hr i get the car home and there is a 5'' scratch in the same area they where working at only to tell me they seen the scratch but didn't do it i have a 50k classic with a brand new paint job and now it's has this scratch in it this shop sucks and I wouldn't bring a go cart to them !! To work on they don't have a clue on what they are doing!! Or care about thier customers or property a butch of liars
I took my car to Don's to have an oil leak repaired. The pricing to have job done was less than at the place where I typically have my oil changed. Great communication, easy to do off car night before. Thanks guys!
I just had my control arms replaced and needed an alignment ASAP. They were recommended to me by Discount Tires down the road. They are very kind and professional, finished on time, and priced right. Our 7 year old son got a kick out of the giant Don’s pen (it actually works!). Thanks guys!
I can't recommend Don's enough! The service was incredibly quick – they had my car fixed and ready to go in no time. On top of that, their pricing was completely fair and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, making the entire process stress-free. If you're looking for reliable, efficient, and reasonably priced car repairs, this is the place to go!
They are my Hero’s!! Rescued me from a company that completely trashed my car!! What took 2 months for the other company to destroy only took them 3 days to fix. Great communication and great personalities! Highly recommended!!
Don’s Circle Service has been my reliable auto mechanic for over thirty years. The new owner Schelen Gray continues the friendly, trustworthy reputation. The staff are helpful explaining what’s going on with my car. I appreciate how they share best practices in car maintenance and affordable options for service. Highly recommended!
Great, honest, service you can trust! Always very welcoming when you come in and are willing to explain what needs to be done. Service is timely and they almost always ask when you need the car/truck back by. Would highly recommend!
I’ve switched over to Don’s after the garage I used to use shut down over Covid. They have provided great service for the past couple of years. Easy to deal with, very responsive and fair pricing. No complaints
Best place to take your car, hands down. I've been going to Don's for over a decade - they checked out the first car I bought as a teenager over a decade ago and I still make the commute up from the cities to go there, even for my oil changes. Everyone is very kind and happy to explain things, they're up front and honest about what needs to be fixed and what can wait, and they get to know their regulars. Genuinely can't imagine taking my car somewhere else, it's in great hands here.
