Service was good, problem was not found
I was satisfied with the service but sad that the issue was not found, although Dakota told me he acknowledged the issues that were present, but disappointing the issue was not found.
Dakotas A., Owner from Dakota's Auto Repair responded on 03/26/2025 08:04 AM

We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you were satisfied with the service. It's definitely frustrating when the root of the issue doesn't reveal itself, like playing a game of hide and seek with your car. In some cases we have to wait for the wear to develop further. We don't throw parts at cars like some other facilities. Give me a shout as it becomes more consistent. We went through every bolt and joint on the passenger side front suspension to check for looseness and or wear and there is nothing evident.

As always excellent team Dakota.
I am at the point now that
I'm beginning to consider myself a long time customer at Dakota s once again today I found myself in a bit of a delima and thank God was near Dakota's shop when my tire I had attempted to repair myself the evening before tricked me holding air perfect overnight went down suddenly as I rolled into Dakota's the last bit of air was seeping out of it. I went in the office spoke to the girls briefly and never mentioned that a big hurry I was in running a very important errand for my father I knew I didn't have to even though these guys stay very busy all the time did you ask her incredible trust me I know all my life pretty much I have been a mechanic and pop ins like this pulling a technician's attention away from what he is doing is not good but these guys never hesitate I was not even there I don't believe in the entire 10 minutes incredibly apologizing a couple different times for me having to wait the less than 5 minutes I had been
exploiting the candy dish in the office. Lol Fyi Dakota after 3 minutes of me in the office I would not find it unreasonable if an extra $10 office candy surcharge sup on my Invoice. . Ha ! I was there less than 15 minutes thanks guys I made it to my destination in plenty time which was unbelievably important that I did. I explained I realized they were accommodating me not to hurry I could wait no problem. less than 15 minutes. . please understand I don't recommend this be practiced on any kind of regular basis but simply put good-hearted people are going to drop what they're doing and help anyone in an emergency. . That's what you find at Dakota's consistently. Thanks again guys for saving the day you have no idea just how important what you done was. I look forward to seeing you guys again soon and just one more thing I told Jim today Dakota that after 1 year of my front end being replaced by you guys it's still let go of the wheel on the straightaway and it rides nobody has touched a thing since you guys now that's impressive. We love you guys thanks again God bless you all
Sincerely Micky Pleasant..

VSA modulator repair
Everyone there was very kind and helpful! They shipped my VSA modulator to California to be repaired and then install it as soon as they got it back. They saved me a TON of money by recommending this instead of simply replacing the part. Thank you so much! :)

We're delighted to hear about your experience with us! It's great to know that our team could lend a helping hand and save you some cash in the process.

Service was excellent
Jordan, the mechanic that did an inspection of a possible car purchase, did a thorough job and provided excellent advice.
The shop is excellent and the mechanics are very polite
Dakotas A., Owner from Dakota's Auto Repair responded on 02/28/2025 10:39 AM

We’re happy to hear that Jordan made a great impression during your inspection! It sounds like he not only rolled up his sleeves to get into the nitty-gritty of that potential purchase but also shared some expert advice—because who doesn’t like a mechanic with a side of wisdom? We're also glad you found our team polite; we believe that good manners are as important as good mechanics. Your kind words fuel our engine, and we're always here to help when you need us!
