East Lake Auto Repair is an auto repair shop at 3421 E Lake St in Minneapolis, MN 55406, serving drivers looking for routine vehicle care or help with a repair. Customer experiences describe work ranging from oil changes and regular maintenance to more extensive repairs. Reviews are mixed, so it may be useful to contact the shop directly about your vehicle’s symptoms, the work you need, and expected timing before making a visit.

For everyday upkeep, one long-time customer says they have brought a car here for years for oil changes, maintenance, and larger repairs, describing the team as knowledgeable and honest. Another reviewer says they were seen and finished faster than expected, at a reasonable price. These accounts point to a shop that some customers value for practical service and a straightforward visit. If you are comparing local options, ask what is included in the recommended work and how the shop will confirm the repair is complete.

Feedback is not uniformly positive. One reviewer reports that an O2 sensor problem was not fixed as expected and says an oil leak and faulty alternator were not identified. Another describes indifferent customer service. These accounts are worth considering alongside positive experiences, especially if your concern involves a specific warning light or a repair that has already been attempted. Explaining the symptoms clearly and asking about diagnostic findings, parts, and follow-up can help set expectations.

A separate Saturday visit involved a stuck-open car window shortly before closing. The reviewer says the shop did not have the needed part in stock, but took apart the door to close the window and ordered the part, without accepting payment for that immediate help. East Lake Auto Repair is open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed Sunday. Its listed rating is 4.1 from 20 reviews. For drivers in Minneapolis seeking maintenance or repair, the shop may be worth contacting to discuss the specific issue and confirm availability.
