Dan's Auto Repair

**Avoid Dan’s Shop at All Costs.** I’ve tried supporting local businesses, which is why I brought my car to Dan’s a couple of times. Big mistake. First visit: oil leak—$600. a day later, I drive to Shakopee and my oil pressure drops. I open the hood and find a pool of oil on top of my motor, Turns out a screw “vanished,” creating a new leak. That cost me another couple hundred. Already annoyed, but I let it slide. More recently, my heater core was leaking. Dan said fixing it would cost $800, which I couldn’t swing, so he said he’d bypass it by connecting the hoses. Cool. I go to pick it up, and the car is running like absolute garbage. I thought maybe it needed to warm up, but I ended up limping it home. I called him and said, “Hey, my car didn’t run like this when I brought it to you.”

Very good service, particularly for military vehicles. I had a rebuilt engine from Dan's installed in my 1954 M38A1 Army Jeep two years ago. It still runs like new. In Oct, 2016, I again shipped my jeep from Kentucky to Prior Lake for transmission and clutch problems. Dan serviced the transmission and transfer case, installed a new clutch and replaced wheel bearings that probably hadn't been serviced in 50 years--very important as the bearings had become dangerous and I could not find a local shop to make the necessary repairs. It is well worth the shipping charges to get my vehicle to a shop that knows what they are doing. Excellent work at a reasonable charge. I won't hesitate to ship my vehicle to Dan if the need arises. Dan treats antique military vehicles with the respect that they

Bought new Wheel bearing and spindle online and took them here for Dan to press in. Did a walk in and they were very professional. If not for the wrong snap ring from the online wheel bearing kit that I've bought, they would have finished in a day for me but that's okay it was the manufacturer's fault. Dan's Auto is the only place in Prior Lake willing to press in wheel bearing for you, just drop it off and they will call you when its done!

Fast, accurate, complete customer service and vehicle care! From the short notice initial call, appointment scheduling, and the appointment itself, it took less than 3 hours from start to finish for Dan and his guy to give my highly fearful mind respite from the thought of a major breakdown/accident on the road, and his cost was very reasonable too! I’ll be going back there for all of my car care needs!

My husband and I were looking for a mechanic to get some break work done, check for possibly torn cv boot and a few other items. We are preparing to move back to Texas this week. As always, I called around to get estimates. I truly expected to be told that both cv boots were torn, that the rotors and calipers were shot and figured we would get a last minute price over $1,500! Very much to my surprise, we got out for under $700! I don’t have much hope for honesty in folks these days. Dan Jr. was who I dealt with. He could have taken me to the cleaners, but his honesty and integrity was so surprising that I just had to leave a review. He told my husband that there was something that would need to be fixed, but that it wasn’t an emergency and just wanted us to know. He was honest and said we
