Cooter's is a efficient and very reasonably priced auto shop. I went in to have an issue confirmed that it was the problem, he ordered the part & within a few days of waiting on the parts arrival he was then able to get my vehicle in immediately so that way I can get back into living life quickly and safely.
My wife and I came in the middle of a vacation, with a check engine light issue.
We were anxious that we wouldn't be able to be seen right away, though Cooter and his assistant solved our issue in less than 5 minutes (with a smile on his face) to have us on the road again.
Thank you so much, I wish I could give more than 5 stars for excellent service from a small business!
Shredded a tire and needed a replacement to get me home (hundreds of miles away from northern Minnesota). Deric found a tire he had that would fit my old sedan's rim and made the tire swap. He gave me amazing service and an amazing price. The replacement tire was funky, but it carried me all the way home, which is what matters. Would highly recommend this business.
Wish I lived in Tofte so that I could use them all the time! Great service. Make repairs that are, as the mechanic said, "better than the original". Amazing prices. Bottom line: honest, friendly, and excellent at their job.
Cooter's & Derek, 3rd Generation "Southerner" Rocked it! We were 28 miles away in Sawbill Campground with 23 lbs and dropping in one of the tires. Derek totally took care of the nail in our flat tire and super fast. Derek got us in, rainy day, muddy, he just knew we had to get going and he made it happen. And we love the Duke's of Hazard relationship - Cooter's knows cars! Thank you again.
I have gotten multiple repairs done here and it is the most affordable mechanic I have ever been to. I always recommend this place to anyone who tells me about their car troubles.
Derrick plugged my tire in record time and charged an extremely reasonable price -highly recommend the services here! Professional and down to earth atmosphere.
Derek and Randy sure helped me out. Boon docking with my Aliner Pop-Up trailer at Temperance River State Park, non-electrical site. My first time camping without hook up on my new rig, and the battery totally drained out. I called AAA and they recommended Cooter's. Derek said bring it in for a charge. Then I met his dad, Randy, upon drop off and pick up. I came back four hours later and picked up my fully charged battery, no charge. Got back to camp, hooked it back up and everything is working. Thanks for the fantastic help and advice, Randy and Derek.✌🏽❤️🙏🏼
Great service! Derek, Cooter and Lisa helped us out when a gravel road popped our tire the morning we planned to enter the Boundary Waters. They had the tire patched and good as new in less than an hour. And they were friendly and kind as well. Saved our trip! Highly recommend!
Derrick was very helpful with a quick inspection of the source of noise, simple fix, and test drive to confirm no major problems at a very reasonable price. This gave us peace of mind that our vehicle was OK to drive home. Thanks again for helping us get on our way again so quickly!
Helped us out in a pinch to fix the truck while on vacation. We couldn't be more grateful for helping us get back on the road. Would highly recommend their services! Thank you again we appreciate it so much.
When our engine was overheating and coolant was leaking, the gentleman at Cooters helped us out and told us what the problem was (crack in the radiator) even when he had a very busy schedule. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helped answer all our questions. Cooters didn’t technically do a repair for us since we were on a tight schedule to get home, BUT they helped us solve the problem temporarily (stop leak) so we could get home. Huge thank you to Cooters and we are so very thankful we were close to this awesome shop when the radiator issue occurred.
I was on vacation camping in Grand Marais and noticed my tires was shaking the car really bad. I called Cooters and he came in to the shop to help me on a Saturday morning. The wheel was 13 inches wide and low profile so he had to make up a special way to do it. After taking off the tires one of them was about to rip apart from the inside. I’ m very grateful for them making the time to get me in right away. He also tried to charge me way too little. I paid him more than he asked and will recommended him to all my friends and family who camp out here in Grand Marais. What a great shop!
After I discovered a nail in my tire while on my peaceful vacation up north I found Cooter’s and they patched my tire in no time and yes, the dogs were so sweet and the price was more than fair. 5 stars all the way!! Thank you!
My tire got a flat on my way back home and they were able to fix it right away for a very small amount! Super friendly people and best of all they got 2 very sweet dogs. Makes me wish we had something like this place down in the cities.
Derek took our job on short notice, got us back on the road and let us know what he saw on the car without trying to oversell another job. If u like cute dogs, fair prices, and quality workmanship, this is the place.
Was driving home to Green Bay from Canada, busted a leaf spring on Boat trailer, limped it to Cooters and Derek took good care of me. Part not in stock so had to make a return trip. But felt my boat and trailer were in good hands.
Very responsive and figured out a solution despite supplier sending wrong spring the first time.
What a great place to take your car! If you need honest work with a honest price, this is the place. My husband said that stopping at Cooter’s Garage and getting help with our car was the highlight of his day.
Cooter's is my hero. Day one of our stay at Bluefin Bay my vehicle's coolant hose sprung a leak. I was surprised to find a shop nearby, let alone one that was reputable. Derek came through with flying colors, so willing to help out and getting me back on the road within a day. I'd trust them with any future repairs!
My Forester's Alternator/Power Steering belt broke. Could have been a huge problem, but ended up being a minor inconvenience, I can't recommend them enough for the quick turnaround and friendly service!
My father in-laws brake line broke on vacation the day before we were going to drive home. I called Cooters and he made time to look at the issue, he got the part the next day and promptly installed the replacement in the morning before we had to check out. Unbelievable service and a price that can’t be beat. Thank you very very much, you saved the day.
