I had a really great experience at Minit Auto Service Repair Shop. I came in during an emergency when they were already busy and close to closing, and other places told me they wouldn’t even be able to look at my car for several days. Despite that, they still made time for me. They even provided a shuttle, which made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. My car had to stay overnight, and they actually kept it for two days to do a thorough inspection and make sure everything was properly checked. I really appreciated that they didn’t rush the process just because they were busy. Imran was especially straightforward and helpful. I really appreciated how direct and honest he was .. no confusion, no pressure, just clear information. That kind of transparency goes a long way!

We discovered Minit Auto after having a flat tire. Again just recently for snow tires and rims. A very clean facility and friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. We were extremely satisfied with the quotes and how quickly they could get the job done. We highly recommend this business.

These guys go above and beyond to make sure you understand your vehicle's health. I'm not car savvy, but they make sure I understand what the issue is, what is needed, and even offer different options if cost is a factor to your car's care. Every time I get my car or truck serviced, it comes back squeaky clean! A nice touch. Geoff and Imran are great guys! And each gentleman who have shuttled me also have been great. Can't recommend Minit Auto enough.

Any issue I've had, Geoff has solved and sorted. I appreciate his *patience and ability to explain in simple detail. Going forward I'll choose him and Minit over anywhere else. *I start crying at a flat tire. 😬

Imran and Geoff at Minit Auto are fantastic! They are very knowledgeable and always happy to explain anything I have questions about. I always feel like I’m getting the best service possible at Minit Auto and I really value their integrity and honesty, not something you get with some shops out there. Definitely check them out for any of your automotive needs:)

Once again the team at Tirecraft provided excellent and timely service for my car. I highly recommend Geoff, Imran, and the staff for their customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail!

After 20+ years going to the same mechanic, I wasn't about to jump to just anywhere. I initially began visiting Minit to have my propane tanks refilled. I appreciated the friendly service, customer loyalty program, and most importantly, how they spoke to their customers about their cars - knowledgeably, but not condescendingly. Eventually I brought my cars in for seasonal tire changes and brake work. The workmanship so far seems excellent, and they are always done within the estimated time frame. Most importantly, they communicate quickly and effectively, whether before, during or after service. It's a family-run business that feels like one, in the best ways.

Kevin Moroney Jan 7, 2026

Professional, very knowledgeable and fair. Imran spoke plainly, not too technical ! Very friendly, makes you feel like part of the family. I highly recommend you to my friends & I will be back if I need any more work done.

John Hermann Gondosch Mar 27, 2022

Always an exceptional customer service experience! Geoff and Imran and the team at Minit Auto go above and beyond to make me feel valued. They are open and honest about pricing and expectations, even offer a free loaner if they need to keep a vehicle for a few days. My cars even get treated to a cleaning with each visit! Honestly this is the only mechanic I will ever trust with my vehicles! They go above and beyond...prepare to be amazed!

Chris Mackay Dec 31, 2025

Imran is very professional. My car was serviced right way. I got dropped off home and picked up from home the following day. All the workmanship was explained and I definitely recommend them very highly.

Soryal Allidina Mar 13, 2024

I’m extremely impressed with the service I received at this shop. They helped me change the tires on my truck, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. They kept me updated throughout the entire process with very clear and detailed information, which I truly appreciated. On top of that, they went above and beyond by cleaning my truck inside and out — it looks great and even smells amazing. The customer service was incredible, very professional and attentive. Out of all the mechanics I’ve visited in the area, this has been by far the best experience. I will definitely continue using this shop whenever I need to bring any of my vehicles in. Highly recommended!

I was very impressed with the service at Napa Autopro - Minit Auto Tirecraft. My new snow tires and rims were installed in good time and the staff was friendly and answered all my questions. What a surprise when I got into my car to drive home. The inside of the car had been cleaned and wiped down. It smelled brand new! The floor mats had been vacuumed and washed!! What great service!

Arden Vaughn Sep 10, 2020

Dropped off my Buick yesterday for repairs, and Jeff said may be a couple of days as the parts came from Montreal. To my surprise I get a call today saying the work was done, with vehicle running great. The service for our Kia was done very quickly as well, with Imran and Jeff's team going above and beyond to accommodate my family to avoid any inconvenience for us. Great work as always. Thanks guys.

Jim M. Nov 3, 2018

Imran and the guys at Minit Auto are fantastic. They have helped me with several mini emergencies and are my go-to place to get the annual checkups. The guys are friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!!

Imran and his crew offer reliable service at fair prices. I really appreciate their use of technology to issue appointment notices, follow-ups etc. highly recommend. 👍🏻

Paul Heron Nov 13, 2025

How does one leave a comment behind that does not do true justice, at times the message does not provide the true intention. This time around I needed to replace my windshield wipers, due to the unexpected snow fall I was in and out in 10 minutes like they promised. Thank you Minit Auto from long time customer.
