Kind Words From Our Customers

WOW! What a great experience today at Johnson Auto Repair in Moorhead. Their team repaired my front brakes. When making the appointment on the phone they told me how long the job would take and what the cost would be. What happened? The job was done in the time they’d told me…and the cost was what they’d estimated. The technician told what he found, what the problem was…and how he repaired it. Start to finish, my experience was fantastic. Thanks Johnson Auto! I highly recommend them.

Every experience I have had with Johnson’s Auto Repair has been nothing short of amazing. Eileen is THE best! I trust the team here with any auto needs.

Ky Pederson

I had a great experience at Johnsons Auto Repair, they got my car new tires and brake pads in only a few hours. None of my friends were free to drive me over to pick up my car, so Eileen and her son personally drove my car to me at my apartment. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. This was the best auto service I’ve ever had, I can tell that the folks here really care about their customers!

Camille

So grateful to them! Small family run shop with the best customer service. I was an hour into a 6 hour drive home when my engine light started flashing. I happened upon Johnson’s and am so glad I did! They made time for me even though they had a full day, and got me out of there in about an hour and a half! They went out of their way to take care of me and checked to make sure I made it back home later even. Highly recommend and wish they were located where I live!

Deanna Ginter

Dennis and his team took the time to find a problem that has been affecting my pickup for quite awhile. Other shops in the area did not take the time to dig deep and find the issue. I am very grateful for the deep dive that they did on my pickup. Everyone was very nice as well. I recommend this shop and am hoping that I don’t need things fixed anytime soon, but if I do, I will be coming back to Johnson’s!
