Kid is getting ready to drive back across country to home and Id like to know if there are any recommendations for Auto Maintenance Shops in and around the Twin Cities area that anyone would recommend.

Any info would greatly appreciated.

Good friend FC, I have made the trek through the fair state many times. I've been broke down a few times. Mostly good help along the way.

As with any journey, let us hope no help is needed. However, it is always good to be prepared.

Not from up that way.

Not sure of your post. He’s broken down? Will break down?

Never have used it. But keep a flat hunnerd in the wallet.

No, getting ready to move back for a new job in a little over a month. Wants to get all next mileage services done, belts changed etc... before heading out on the road.

I 80 is a long way south of the Twin Cities, like 5+ hours at freeway speed south! Where is he going to?

If he's passing through the Twin Cities area (south metro) call Velischek Motors in Prior Lake. They're not the cheapest around, but they do good, honest work and won't sell you what you don't need. They're willing to use salvage parts to keep the bill down if they can get them and think it's right for your needs. We've been using these guys for 25 years.

Thanks J, exactly the type of first hand info I was looking for. Its all standard maintenance like I pointed out above, unless they find something that needs fixing.

Not headed that far South. Cutting through SD to Mount Rushmore then on to I80.
