Excellent brake job on my 2010 Toyata Rav-4 V6, the charge was lower than similar job done by a Toyota dealer 6 years ago.
The only place I will take a vehicle to get the brakes worked on. Theres a saying that says speed quality price, You can only have two well at Great brakes you get all three.
Best place to take your car. The owner is quick, honest, and great at fixing cars.I always depend on him for all my vehicles. Dont miss out!
I had my car taken here about a month ago and it was the best mechanic experience I’ve had. He was priced beyond fair and was open and honest. Highly recommended for anyone in the Black diaspora frfr
This is a full service auto repair shop (not just brakes). Ive been bringing my cars here for years. Its a great alternative to high priced dealer shops. They have sent me to a dealer if its a problem involving certain software upgrade issues. Its a great first stop and quick fix at half to three quarters of what a dealer will charge. Ive really come to appreciate and trust them over the years.
Best shop in the twin cities! Warku is an amazing mechanic and does work at unbeatable prices. I have never had anyone come close to his prices. Very trustworthy I never have had any doubts about any work that he has done. We have used him for 15 years as our family mechanic. He has sold us cars that were very reliable and mechanically sound.
I love Worku:) We go to him for all our car repairs!
Great service, awesome price, explained what was going on thoroughly. Extremely satisfied with the service. Will be returning for all future repairs.
I’ve used Great Brakes for 12+ years, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! Worku is the best! Consistently great work, that often comes in under his initial quote. Honest, friendly. He’s one of those rare birds: a fantastic neighborhood mechanic, who is truly a part of the neighborhood!⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fast and great service and very affordable! :)
Worku is the best mechanic Ive ever had and I will never go to anyone else. Not only is he an incredible person in general, but he is an excellent and honest mechanic. Hes helped me out multiple times with multiple different cars and he has always been able to solve the problem and provides the best possible service and experience for the customer. I recommend him to everyone I know. Also, I feel the need to say that as a woman I am very used to getting disrespected or taken advantage of by men mechanics, and I never feel that way with Worku which is one of the reasons why I would never want to go to another mechanic again. 10/10, highly recommend.
Since moving back to Minneapolis about 12 years ago, I’ve taken every vehicle I’ve ever owned to Great Brakes. Anything from engine issues, transmission work, muffler replacement, and of course, all things brake related. They’re extremely honest and always give you options before doing any work, sometimes going as far as to just tell you how to make the repair yourself. I’ve recommended probably two dozen people here and every single one has come back with a glowing review.
Outstanding customer service at incredibly reasonable price. Great Breaks is the only place I bring my vehicles to for maintenance.
Worku is the best! Trustworthy, experienced, and kind. Ive been cars to Worku for six years and have always come away happy and the car in great shape.
Amazing work. Timely. Will work with you and is honest about the work he does! Thats a big thing for us women dealing with mechanics!
Great brakes is, simply put, the friendliest, most ethical, and most reliable auto service shop Ive ever experienced.
Good place. Good peopl. They worked me in without an apintment and did the work fast. Im vary satisfied.
I have taken my truck there two times now. First time, Worku fixed a broken brake cylinder; the next time he repaired the front end ball joints and control arms. His work was very good both times. Prices were reasonable. Customer service very good. If you need repairs hes a good person to go to.
We were recommended to this shop by a neighbor. We had an excellent experience. Service was done well, the same day, at a very reasonable price, and everything was clear and honest. We will be coming back and recommending this place to others! Thank you!
This is the best place any should fine hight quality auto service. The owner is friendly and truthful.
Great pricing, great service, fast, friendly. Will definitely go back.
As a single woman, I have experienced car repair shops trying to rip me off about pricing (some have succeeded because I didn’t know any better), Worku has always given me fair pricing, and has shown me the work that he has done once the job is complete. He can get busy because his work is so good so you may want to call ahead of time. This is my first car and he has even taught me some things about cars and what to look out for when it comes to repairs. I recommend him to everyone!
He does nice job and had always been fair by me. Recommend.
An honest man who does Great work at a fair price. Ill be back!
Wow, best auto shop Ive ever used!! Worku is such a kind man with a welcoming smile and helpful attitude. He has fair prices and walks you out to your car to show you the work hes done. I am DEFINITELY going back here for all of my auto service needs. I would highly recommend Great Brakes to all!
I got a tip from a friend that this is the best place in town. Turned out, he was right. I received fast service at a fair price. He explained what was essential, what was optional, and its clear that this business core value is honesty and serving the customer. I highly recommend.
If you have any brake-related issues or light car maintenance, take your car to Worku. He is the nicest and most honest mechanic, with fair prices and great work. I came in with a clutch issue and was told that he couldnt be certain that the problem was completely fixed, so he told me to come back in three months and only pay if the issue had gone away, otherwise he would keep working on it.
He was wonderful! He went above and beyond fixing my car. He even fixed my wires, without charging me, in my car when a mouse got into my engine and chewed on the wires. He knows a lot, and everyone should bring their car to great breaks inc. 😊👍🏼 If I could give him 10 stars I would!
I have been coming to Great Breaks for all my cars repairs and oil change needs since 1998. I am very pleased with the services I have been getting. Great and affordable service! I will definitely keep coming! Highly recommended!
Today was my second repair at Great Brakes and Ill never go anywhere else. Super fast, friendly and honest with good prices. I never have to be stressed out about a repair or feel ripped off again. Ill definitely be referring people. Thanks!
Worku is the BEST. I stumbled upon Great Brakes through a google search years ago when I lived in the area and needed an oil change. Even though I moved across town awhile back, I still won’t take my car anywhere else.Best service, best prices, best mechanic ever. And the nicest guy you’ll ever meet—he treats his customers like family!
Worku is hands-down the most honest mechanic Ive met, he went above and beyond my expectations for both the work he did, and the price he provided. The turnaround was same day, and he provided me updates on any recommended work, and what I didnt need to replace.Id recommend him to anyone looking for quality work at a fantastic price - thanks again!
Worku (the main mechanic) could not be a friendlier, more generous person. He consistently goes above and beyond in customer service to get me the best price and the shortest turn around for his service. Good work, honest assessment, and great deals- pretty hard to beat that.
Worku is the man! Hes always taken my car last minute when Ive been in a panic with something going wrong. I walk in and Im always greeted while a smile and my friend! Great prices, so friendly, and all around a genuinely good guy. I wont bring my car anywhere else and I make sure to tell all of my friends to go to him.
This guy is awesome! I was not able to drive my car because the alternator wasnt working; to save me a tow, he came himself to help me get the car to his shop (without charging any extra). I could tell that he really cared about me and wanted to help me out. On top of that, his prices were great. The total cost was over $100 less than the other estimates I got and that was with replacing the serpentine belt! AND he did the job quickly so I was able to make it see the rest of my clients for the day. Overall a great guy and great mechanic!
I dont go anywhere else. Honest work, he shows you your part that has gone bad and tells you why. He doesnt just replace and say it needed to be done. He does top quality work, with a great attitude. Deserves your business and every bit of the 5 stars. Worku is a great guy. Thanks for all your work over the years buddy.
Ourku (hope Im spelling it correctly) just helped push my Audi to the side of the road and look it over. He confirmed its probably the crank position sensor. What a nice guy! If I can ever give him some business that is not on a suburban side street I will gladly do so. 5 stars!
Worku is the man! Ive had my car serviced at Great Brakes several times and its always cheaper than I thought it would be. Great service. Great prices. Great guy.
TEN out of 5 stars! Highly recommended. Fair, friendly, and affordable.
Fabulous service from Worku. Approachable, transparent, really nice guy.. Was able to help me in a pinch as a first time customer. Cheaper bill than I expected.
Worku is always kind and welcoming. He is honest, fair, and a great guy!
ALWAYS fixes my car super quick and always at a better price than anywhere else I have brought it. I dont go anywhere else to get my car fixed since going to him. As a matter of fact, all my friends go to him too! Highly recommend!
The best.
Worku is the absolute best mechanic. My husband and I have been taking our cars here for years, and like other reviewers have said, we fully intend to keep bringing our cars here if/when we eventually move out of the neighborhood. I have never met a more kind, friendly and honest mechanic.A while back I parked my car at work in a nearby suburb and my car wouldnt start when I tried to leave at lunch. I immediately called Worku. He got in touch with one of his contacts, had my car towed to his shop for an extremely reasonable price and had completed the work by the end of the day.I normally dont write reviews, but I cannot recommend this shop highly enough.
Always take my car here! Awesome guy and great prices. Worku is super honest and straight with you on what the problem is and how to fix it. Also, there is a great coffee shop next door which makes me want to take my car in more often than I should...
It was convenient that I can drop my car off after hours on top of that I was also able to pick it up after hours since my work schedule collides with theirs. He was able to get it done in a day and explained to me exactly what it was that he was doing. I hate going places that treat me different just because I am a women but it was different with this business. My car was in really bad shape it needed new brakes, rotors and calipers. My car now drives great he was even nice enough to give me the third brake free. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
The service was amazing! Professional, timely honest and one of the best customer experiences for a car repair Ive ever had.
Worku is the kindest and most professional mechanic in the Minneapolis area. This shop is truly a hidden gem, offering better service for less money than any other auto repair shop guaranteed.If you need a mechanic you can trust, look no further.
Worku always fixes my truck promptly and accurately at an unbelievably low price! He is the most talented and honest mechanic in Minnesota and I recommend him to all my friends and family. 5 stars hands down.
Ive gone to chains for years, playing coupon games to get a deal but Worku was the best price Ive seen. Beyond that, his work is great, he charges cost for parts, and he does it all with a smile. My mechanic of choice.
Called to get a quote and was rushed off the phone in an unprofessional manner.
Great service. Really nice owner.
This is the best service & repair auto center I have ever been to. The thorough & quality work is amazing. Worku rocks!
Great service and reasonable prices!
Great service. Ive been there twice now as I recently moved to the area, and I dont know why Id go anywhere else. Highly recommend.
Worku is the best! He was the only person I took my car to when I lived in St. Paul. Ive since moved to Wisconsin and cant find a mechanic anywhere around here with the kind of service and fair pricing that Worku offered. I recommend him to everyone I know.
Best shop. Always go here before anyone else. Never unhappy.
I cannot thank enough to this guy! During the past year, I brought him my old sooby at least 4 times (twice for brakes, once for the power steering pump, and once for the air conditioning). The service was always great and speedy, but this last time I brought it in, it was EXCELLENT. I brought it in for an AC problem (not cooling at all). All other shops were saying that my compressor was bad, and it needed to be replaced together with the expansion valve, which meant $900 in repairs. This guy found a lose wire on the compressor, connected it, topped off the freon. That fixed the problem and he only charged me $60
Worku is a great guy and he gave me a great deal! Very professional and trustworthy!
Worku is a very honest guy. He could have easily changed all 4 breaks and rotors as I was at his mercy but he only changed the front 2 and did an oil change for a very reasonable price. This was on a lexus. The dealership would have charged me almost twice. I will definitely be going there again for any major repairs.Thanks and God bless you.
Worku is one of the most genuine mechanic I have ever worked with. Great pricing, quite fast service.
I had a great experience with the owner- Worku. I got the strong impression that he genuinely cares about ensuring his customers are taken care of.
Worku is probably one of the most knowledgable and honest mechanics Ive ever met. (not to mention one of the nicest guys Ive met). He does excellent work at a very reasonable/honest price. As long as Im in the TC metro this is my car guy.
I have lived here in the Twin Cities for more than half of my life, and have experience with quite a few auto repair places, and, I have to honestly say, Workus Great Brakes has no comparison in terms of expertise, honesty, price, and timely delivery. On top of all that, Worku is just a nice person. I highly recommend Great Brakes!!
Worku is the best! Hell always give you the excellent service along with the best price. Exemplary customer service!
Adore Worku, his prices, and his customer service! He is a great mechanic and a great person! Love this place!
Worku is the most honest mechanic I have ever met.
Thank you to all my customers for their great reviews! I am always here to help you.
He does not just repair brakes. Worku has also replaced my starter and drive axle shaft. In each case he was prompt, affordable and friendly.
Friendliest and most honest car shop in the area. Strongly recommend!
Very knowledgeable, bends his own brake lines, gets it done on time and in budget. Good job.
Worku is a great guy, deserves all of the great reviews he gets. He didnt charge me a cent to look at my car and tell me my engine head was blown.I will definitely be taking my future car to Worku.
I took my car to bobby and steves to fix a problem they caused... they charged me 900$ and gave me a 50$ discount because they felt bad they ruined my breaks.My brother told me to take my car here and Worku charged me 570$ for the exact same services. Im shocked. While my brother waited for service, worku let him drive his own car to get groceries too hahah. Truly would recommend this place if youre trying to not get ripped off. What a great guy
Good service and very fair prices.
Great service, trustworthy and honest price! Owner is a very nice man!
Worku is very helpful in any aspects. Great skill and wonderful personality!
Ive come back to Great Breaks Inc over and over. Moved to a neighborhood farther away and still come back for my car service.
They surpassed my expectations by far! Dropped my car off for rear brake work at 9:30 am on tuesday, and planning to pick it up 5 days later, so no hurry. (I travel out of town each week for work). The manager called me at 1:30 pm to tell me it was done already. I still hadnt left town yet, so went to get it. Hed noticed a rattle noise and tighten that up too. GREAT service at a fair price! AWSOME! Will go back for future repair needs definately!
Refreshing service, incredible price and perfect timing. I dropped off my car in the late afternoon for a strut replacement and picked it up at 6 to find that Worku had fixed the suspension of the car. But that wasnt all, he even superglued a precious carving that I used to hang from my rearview mirror! Its refreshing to receive honest work especially when the price is $300 less than the dealer. Very highly recommended!
Great service, and honest! Recommend highly
He talked me out of unnecessary repairs that I thought I needed. The work he did was great, fast and cost a lot less than expected.
The most nicest person to fix your car
Worku and his guys rock. Very thorough, understanding, and kind.
Worku is the MAN!!! I dont even know how to begin to express my appreciation!!! I have brought multiple cars in there, multiple times, and have had nothing but service with a smile and fair prices. He is not your typical auto mechanic. He diagnosis the problem and fixes it.. Seems like nothing special right? WRONG!!! As far as auto mechanics go,(not trying to be stereotypical but I have dealt with many and a trend has been noted) they are shady, manipulative, greedy, uneducated, and unpleasant douches! Worku on the other hand, is a friendly, honest and EXTREMELY knowledgeable man.A few days ago I was driving my wife and I to work. Our car, literally, started dumping coolant all over the road. I was able to make it Great Brakes where Worku was more than happy to get started right away. Panicking, as funds were low and we were approaching payday, Worku worked with me to ensure my car was fixed by the end of my workday (not an easy task). As I was leaving, with my newly fixed water-pump and only a couple of dollars to my name, Worku noticed that my gas tank was running on fumes. He offered to give me $10 to put in my tank. Seeing as he had already done so much for me, I couldnt take him up on his offer. But DAMN... People dont do things like that in this world for people they dont know. Worku does! He is an all around good dude, great mechanic, and cares about his customers.If you have luck with cars like myself and a wife with driving skills like mine, Great Brakes should be the only place you trust with your vehicles. It is THE only shop I will go to in the metro area and/or refer anybody else to. Thanks a million Worku! You are the MAN!!!
Worku Moges is a great guy, honorable mechanic. I brought in my 02 VW Passat that was overheating badly and returned to the car to me in 2-3 days fixed, or so I thought it was fixed. Drove car from St Paul-St Louis Park, car overheated there and back, this was 4th of July 2014 Friday. He was gone for the weekend. I was upset, angry not being able to use car for weekend trips. Monday morning I left car with Worku with an angry note taped to steering wheel, in 2 more days Worku made it right, he fixed the car, drove it from St Paul-Minnetonka and back for 2 days-high speeds, rush hour traffic. Car doesnt overheat anymore. Worku made it right. This is the kind of person and mechanic you want working on your car, if there is an issue he wants to make it right. I flip cars and need them repaired, Great Brakes and Worku Moges is my repair shop of choice. You wont go wrong with him. Character, Integrity, Honorability, Work Ethic mean a lot and Worku has it all.
Friendly and trustworthy. Fairly priced.
Quality work they take pride in, and reasonable. My one stop shop.
This guy replaced my brakes a while back when I was a broke college kid and he gave the most honest and reasonable pricing. Will always recommend him!
Worku is an amazing technician! He is genuine and a technician to be relied on!
Worku is the man who runs this shop. His prices are extremely fair and he is quite kind.
Great experience!
Believe everything youve read, Worku is the man
Great work, great price, great person.
A one man fixing crew! Amazing!!!!
My go to place, for car services.
