Knowing Saied, I knew he would sell his place to a reputable person. I took our cars in for winterizing in September and met the new owner, Steve Anderson. He and his mechanics did a thorough job on our cars, kept me informed and was honest in the appraisal. I recommend Electra Tune to my friends and neighbors.

Uncanny–same year Mini, same bad experiences at Motorworks (not that uncanny, by itself), same good experiences at Electra-Tune. I have been an E/T customer for a few years and have never had any problems there. I was bummed to read (per Moe’s comment) that Saied is no longer affiliated with the shop. I might calibrate my trust settings a bit until I’m sure that Saied’s spirit lives on there–I have no particular reason to believe it won’t, other than the fact that his caliber of customer service is unfortunately becoming ever rarer.

P.S. The worst thing about Motorworks service, in my opinion, is the way they aggressively insist that you rate their service 5 out of 5 in a survey, even though it is decidedly mediocre at best.

I take my car to German Autoworks in St. Louis Park. Prompt service, decent prices, and actually talks to you like a human being . They only cover Japanese and German cars tho.

The new owner has been working at shops in the neighborhood for a long time, and his family lived in the house that was burned down during the fire that destroyed the condo project on Lake and the River Rd.

It’s so nice to have a place in the neighborhood like Electra Tune.
