At California Street Auto Repair, we treat every vehicle like it's our own. No upsells, no confusion — just honest, dependable service that keeps you safely on the road.
From routine maintenance to complex repairs, our team handles it all with precision and transparency.
Squeaking, pulsing, or soft pedals? We inspect, repair, and replace brake pads, rotors, and fluid with factory-spec parts.
Check engine light on? We use advanced OBD-II scanning and deep diagnostics to pinpoint the real problem — not guess.
Slipping gears, harsh shifts, or fluid leaks — our transmission specialists diagnose and repair both automatic and manual systems.
Synthetic, conventional, or high-mileage — we follow your manufacturer's schedule exactly, with a detailed service record every time.
Minnesota winters are brutal and summers are hot. We restore your cabin comfort with refrigerant recharge, compressor repair, and heater core service.
Uneven tire wear, pulling, or a rough ride — we handle struts, shocks, alignment, and power steering repair to keep your car tracking straight.
We've been fixing cars on California Street NE since 1998 — not because it was convenient, but because Minneapolis families trusted us with their safety. That trust doesn't come cheap, and we don't take it for granted.
We know there are plenty of shops in the Twin Cities. Here's why neighbors keep coming back.
We explain every repair before we start. You approve the work, and the price we quote is the price you pay — no hidden fees, ever.
You'll always know who's working on your car. Our team has been together for years — they remember your name and your vehicle.
We respect your time. Most services are completed the same day, and we'll never hold your car overnight without telling you why.
We use OEM or equivalent-quality parts on every job. Cheap shortcuts don't belong in our bay — or on your car.
We let our work speak for itself — but we're not shy about sharing the kind feedback we've earned.
"I've been bringing my cars here for over a decade. They've never once tried to sell me something I didn't need. That kind of honesty is rare — and it keeps me coming back."
"My transmission was slipping badly and another shop wanted a fortune to replace it. California Street diagnosed the real issue, fixed it for half the price, and had me back on the road the same day."
"As a single mom, I was terrified of getting ripped off. These guys treated me with respect, explained everything in plain English, and charged exactly what they quoted. I recommend them to everyone I know."
Give us a call or stop by the shop — we'd love to earn your business. No appointment necessary for estimates, and we're always happy to answer questions.
