My car broke down on the highway! I got towed here... They were VERY kind and understanding! I didnt have no way home.. They got to my car right away and fixed my car the same day! I couldnt ask for better service and more kindness and understanding customer service! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ππ
I got a screw stuck in my tire, called the next morning and was able to get in the same day to patch it up! Super kind and quick definitely will be returning to get new tires soon. Thank you!
Wonderful customer service, they explain things so even a novice can understand things. Filled me in before doing any work. I knew what to expect at all times.
As a small business owner having our vehicle repairs done right the first time is extremely important. Granite City Tire and Auto provides that service for us!
Jesse and Jason are top notch! Wouldnβt take my vehicles anywhere else.
Tried getting an alignment that I desperately need, wasnβt done because my tie rods βneeded to be replacedβ because they couldnβt loosen the bolts even with a torch. Took the car home and checked them, a little rust but a hot torch definitely would have done the job. There was only slight signs of a torch on one side but not the other. It was obvious they didnβt get it hot enough one side and gave up. Every time Iβve needed an alignment it wasnβt done because Iβve needed something else they tried to sell me for hundreds of dollars more that I did myself for way cheaper. In my experience with this, this place is a waste of time and I would go somewhere else. I donβt need to spend $580 on inner and outer tie rods because they couldnβt get them loose. As a mechanic you should be able to stop at nothing to make sure the job gets done. But they fail at this most of the time.
Excellent service and great team..consistent appointment scheduling, trust them to do a great job! Package, coupons are helpful. No complaints from me!
Great service and tires were installed in a timely matter. Will definitely come back for future tire needs with Jesse and the crew.
It took over2hrs to install 2tires. There wasnt any communication and the cost was crazy. Didnt check the air pressure. I had to do that at home. They didnt care about me or my car at all. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN EVER!!!
For many years, I have taken my vehicles to Granite City and I have always received excellent service and information from everyone. They staff is knowledgable and willing to help in any way.
Bought winter tires and they did a fantastic job. Was very impressed with their time management. Jesse was amazing to work with. Thank you Granite City Tire & Auto.
I will not be returning! I called on Saturday April 3rd to get a phone quote to have what I felt were broken exhaust manifold bolts extracted,replace manifold gasket for $500...I was called Monday,April 5th to be told that procedure would essentially cost $975 and during the conversation,that number went to $1500!!! My Ram pickup was then farmed out to an exhaust place,name of it still unknown to me to have new exhaust installed from the catalytic converter back. Someone please tell me how a phone quote can double? You may want to tell your people to fix only what the costumer requests and not up sale everything because it might be in the manufacturers recommended procedures. If they had pulled the sticks they would have see the transmission fluid and oil were new! Just to mention a few things! You know how you run your business and a response is not warranted! The only reason why my truck ended up in your hands is because yours was the only shop who happened to answer their phone on a Saturday!
Great staff...They helped me out with putting air in my tires.Didnt hesitate to help
Always a great place to work with! They come to my workplace, get my Jeep, and bring it back so I dont even have to schedule extra time away from work to have any repairs done. They do excellent work at reasonable prices. They are always helpful and honest and will let me know what really needs to be done now and what can wait. Josh, the store manager at the Sartell location, goes above and beyond with customer service and is always doing whatever he can to make it a better experience. 10/10 recommend to all my family and friends!
Good prices & friendly people
The crew at Granite City Tire Sartell made it easy to do business with. Jason Anderson and Jason T were both good to work with. They both gave straight forward information. Only suggestion I would make is to make sure your loaner car has some gas in it. Good Job Guys!
Friendly, knowledgeable guys. Jason Anderson, the service manager, is great! He always gets me in quick, and back on the road in a flash.
Honest, friendly, and truly care about their customers.
Had appointment & service was completed in a timely matter.
They are the only place I get my tires! They are very professional. Jason goes above and beyond! Thanks guys!!
I was a long time customer here (since 1996), have bought several sets of tires, and have had overall good service. They usually try to upsell you on other services, which I decline, as I do my own vehicle maintenance (aside from tire balancing and mounting, etc).However, the last time I was in, they said my trucks lug nuts were swollen, and they refused to rotate them due to a new store policy. They would gladly sell me a new set for 8 bucks each (160 plus tax). The advisor gave me a line about not being able to torque the old ones properly, but I could tell even he didnt really buy into it himself.Went to a competitors shop and they had no problem rotating the tires (or properly torquing the lug nuts)...plus, they did it for free even though I didnt buy the tires there! I wont say which competitor, but you can probably figure it out...Sorry guys, think Ill be going elsewhere for tires now.
They were awesome got us in early and out sooner then expected thank you
My truck had a bounce and wobble driving down the road. Turned out to be tie rod ends and ball joints. Now it goes straight and no bounce. Drives as good as it should. Thanks
Honest service. My Subaru dealer had said that I would likely need new rear brake pads in approx. 5,000 miles. 5,000 miles later, I assumed that, based on the dealershipβs advice, I would need new brake pads. I Went to Granite City and they told me I still had as much as 10,000 miles left on my rear brakes and that replacing them would be premature. They could have replaced them and I wouldnβt have known the difference. This sort of honesty is getting harder to find.
Friendly staff doing honest work. They have a neat system that will text you a picture of your car being worked on and details of everything they find in the inspection so you can make informed decisions about what you want done. They are great at explaining what is wrong and what truly needs to be fixed now and what can wait. Josh B was great to work with. I have officially found my new regular car shop!
Granite City Tire and Auto, Sartell, is always easy to schedule an appointment, fast work along with thorough efficient service!
I called yesterday with a concern about my brakes, the gentleman I spoke to on the phone answered every question I had with respect. I got scheduled for today and the folks working this morning were super helpful and explained what needed to be fixed and why it impacted the car. Pricing felt fair and the staff seem to really care about the customers. I will definitely be back!
First time customer and all I wanted was an oil change! They claimed that the oil filter housing that was plastic was cracked and they had to replace it (I had no issues with leaking oil when I brought it in there) so they charged me $60 for a new one that was metal, after waiting 2 hours and $138 later that evening I noticed oil on my garage floor. Brought it back to them and after 4 hrs they had to change the metal one back to a plastic one anyway, you would think that I would get some kind of refund for them breaking the original one in the first place and all the time I had to wait. I will never go back to that place again!
Got my sons tires changed. Decent job and price.
Josh and Cody were great. Professional and courteous!!
I want to start off by saying I really dont know much about cars, but Derrick Ruben has been the most helpful & compassionate person I have met so far in this industry. He helped me straighten out my tire situation in no time on my 2014 Cadillac ATS. The price was great and waiting time was nothing at all. Be ready for an abs workout also because he will have you rolling. I will only bring my vehicle to Derrick Ruben because I trust him and I know you will too! Thank You Derrick!
Good and fast service.
Awesome place to being your truck or car. These guys are very detailed and have reasonable prices! They tell you straight up what is going on. Dropped off a truck for them to inspect before I purchase and they gave me a huge detailed report. Thanks guys for being so detailed!
Vehicle would not start, had it towed to Granite city tire and auto, Sartell Minnesota. I was told it was a fuel pumpβ¦ Was quoted over $800 for repairs??? Called FRIEDRICHβs AUTO, Rice MN and was quoted nearly $150 CHEAPER... when I asked Granite City Tire and Auto if they could reduce the price a little just to make it comparableβ¦ They said, βNOβ.... itβs amazing that Granite City tire and auto is NOT willing to take even $50 off a bill in order To be competitive in the areaβ¦ Can tell you that they have lost a customer for LIFE! And I will NEVER refer anyone to this establishment again.Lesson learned, shop around, and be careful of reviews placed by their own employees to make them seem better than they actually are.Overpriced! Youβve been warned!!!
If I could give 0 stars I would, ask to diagnose an issue, gave info of everything Ive personally done already and was assured they could find the problem with a simple $99 diagnostics. Couldnt find problem but had enough time to check and find 20 other things (minor things unrelated to issue) that they graciously offered to fix those. Couldnt find issue and when asked what they all did to find issue, EXTREMELY vague and wouldnt give exact answers other that using choke fluid and couldnt find a vacuum leak. Which btw I already did so literally they offered 0 help and gladly took payment and said good luck. So literally thanks for nothing.
Great friendly and helpful service.
Granite city got me in and out under 2 hours. Needed starter replaced starter went out on a Saturday. They got me fixed and up and running. Jason was very helpful in getting me in. Ill come back for more of my auto needs. Thank you
Great service! Polite, informative, quick and fair pricing. Thanks fellas!
If this is how they conduct business i suppose I will be back. I say that because, as a mechanic myself I do all of my own work but must farm out alignment jobs due to lack of equipment. Derrick & Josh (manager) were awesome. And they beat anyone else around with prices.
Went to get a quote for vehicle repairs chargers almost double compared to many other reputable repair shops. They said to bad go to another shop then. Horrible customer service, money hungry repair shop!
Friendly employees and good service although it was much more expensive than any of the local shops where I live. Other than the price to check for an alignment and the actual alignment itself, it was nice.
Have had good service most of my visits but about five times poor service and wrong information about my wheel rims being bent (they were not) and needing to change the transmission fluid (even though it was just changed). Also a year and a half ago they only finger tighten my oil plug and luckily the only damage was oil all over my garage floor. I am going to try the sister store in St Cloud and hope they are a lot better!
Great place to go I get a discount through my work Im also good friends with staff a bunch of great guys working
Friendly staff, little spendy but tires looks great
Excellent staff and efficient service..
Had a really good experience here. Staff expertly identified my needs, Quickly acquired the parts I needed and installed them on schedule.
I love this place. As a woman, Iβve never felt more respected and talked to honestly about things related to my car. Derrick is GREAT and I never feel like Iβm being βtakenβ when they do work for me.
Great visit ... great service and timely service. Thanksπ
Excellent Customer Service, people you can TRUST. Worth the Price for guarantee work!
The staff is friendly and honest. I thought I needed serious work done on my car and they informed me that a sensor needed replacement. They could have totally taken me for a ride and racked up a huge bill, but instead were honest with me and got me on my way while saving my wallet from a beating!
Dont bother coming here. They are very rude and dont care about customers. Only want money from customers and quoted for way more than needed to be fixed!
Excellent service as usual
No complaints.
Thanks Josh and their team. I was able to get in at the time I was scheduleded, and they did an excellent job. I recommend coming here for service!
I had work done on my truck about a year ago. The guys were honest, the work was done quickly, and was done at the quoted price. I did not feel pressured to have additional work done like I have at other repair shops.
I was quoted only for a couple parts. Once those parts were in apparently there were other parts that were out.I was also told doing one part came with and Alignment along with it I can tell for a fact that my alignment is off so now I got to go and pay again for a supposedly alignment that they said that they did. For whoever responds to this from the location if you want to make this right for me I want some of my money back and the actual alignment done and if my tires are bad because of your mistake I want new tires because tires I have on now Ive only maybe six thousand miles on them.And the one that said everything to me you was Steve. He said the rack and pinion going in my car comes with an alignment. He also made it under the assumption but even though I didnt have all the money I would still be able to leave with the car and make payments. The fact that they dont tell you everything is extremely poor business manners
So about granite city tire and auto you are better off bringing your car to Caseyβs general store.i made the mistake of bringing my car here when I can do the general stuff like oil changes tire rotations brakes etc. I am not a mechanic so when I bring my car to a mechanic I expect them to fix my car. My car broke down In town so I thought I would get it towed there and it was a $75 expense. GCTA had my car for 3 days and said that they had fixed it . I drove home and the next day on my way to work my car had stalled with the same issue. So then I had to get it towed once again but this time it was $125 to my house then I towed it myself to the shop.the mechanic then had said they thought I knew a lot about cars as I am unloading the car by myself I told them I am just a plumber and thatβs why I brought it to you . With all of this going on I had missed days off work and towed the car my self and they charged me 450 and said it was fixed . As the car was in the shop for the second time I called them about the progress they informed me they still did not fix the car but one of there workers backed into my car. When I asked about the situation they told me the worker is 18 and he was not on the clock and we have to go thru his insurance not the company. Still the car is not fixed I feel like they owe me $2000 in personal expenses. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO GRANITE CITY
Originally informed my tire plan covered a flat as I had 8/32 in tread remaining and upon returning to pick up tire I am told the manager says it wont be free as there is only 7/32 inch tread and will cost you 125$. I have been largely happy here but come on. Obviously a profit issue not wanting to take a hit on a tire replacment.
Place is a joke!!! I made an appointment for my car to have a ball joint installed, they told me that it would take a few hours, I called 4 hours to find out what was going on with the car, they told me it got put to the side so it will be done around 3, so at 4:30 I went out there to talk to them face to face and they said its on the alignment rack so it will be about another hour, mind you I had already made an appointment to get in first, finally they call me at 7 and tell me there sorry that my car kept getting put to the side. Very disappointed in there lack of respect. The point of making an appointment is to get to be first. I will take my business somewhere else.
Was able to get tires replaced in a reasonable time frame at a great price after a road hazard in the area even though the were already very busy. A positive customer service experience.
Honest hard working. Wont b.s. you on price or what is wrong with your vehicle.
Horrible place my sister went here to get her oil change for the 24.99 oil change special and they charged her over 50 dollars for a basic oil change. When we told them they said to bad. Dont go here they are scammers and take advantage of naive people.
Very friendly service...Great pricing. I havent had a service done but I believe they have pickup/dropoff service as well. Will be taking advantage of there services in the future
Had an oil-change appt. at 1:00 pm on Friday, Aug. 3. At 1:45 my vehicle had not even been evaluated. I guess keeping appointments is a thing of the past. I had to leave to make another appt. later in the day.
I used to have complete faith in this store, the only place Id take my vehicles as Ive had bad experiences in the past with other places joy riding my vehicles. I havent been to this location in about 2 years cause I moved away and came back. I have since lost complete faith in these people In my last visit. I brought my 01 Sierra 2500hd in for an alignment, my concerns brought in with1. My steering wheel hasnt been straight for a while2. I just installed new rear leaf springs, the way they sit make me think the axle isnt 100% inline with the truckSo I get the call its done, when I pick it up I ask about the leaf springs cause I checked it before I went into the store to pay. They said the technician didnt pay attention to my concern and that it must have been fine cause he didnt have to adjust much. He also said that my drivers tie rod was maxed out and they couldnt straighten my steering wheel anymore than it was. I ask cant you just take the non used threads on the passenger tie rod and slide it over to the left side? I was told I dont know, that would be something youd have to google. Thats it, Im done, Your the mechanic and you cant give me a simple answer that I already know. $80 for a very incomplete alignment that they wont stand behind cause with my new extra heavy duty leaf springs it jacked the rear up 3.5 and they think Ive got my truck lifted, the front has a torsion bar lift and the back is 100% stock. My steering wheel is also a little more out of whack than it was when I brought it in. They obviously dont know what their doing anymore. So now onto the long painful journey to find another mechanic shop I can trust with my Diesel.
Doug And Derreck always take great care of my car. Nice guys! Great service!!!
Great service, but they are so busy I wait longer than expected
Wont go there again. It cost $50 more than they quoted me on the phone and they said it would take an hour and it took two. I waited around thinking it was only gonna take an hour. I would have left if Id known it would take so long.
Very reliable,and fast with repairs,its the only place we have repair work done
I went there to get my breaks looked at and they said it was done and when I got there the battery in my car was dead and my brakes are grinding this is the worst experience Iβve ever had the car is worst then it was before I am vary displease and will never recommend them to anybody.
Fast service, good staff...happy with my service!
Im my opinnion, I would never go here!! After bringing my car to this location for service, the mechanic lifted my car incorrectly and caused $2800 in damages. When I was in the shop inspecting the damages and on the phone with the police, their service writer came into the back and gave me the finger. If you dont believe me, please check out the attached photo in the photos section of google reviews.
These guys always take care to solve the auto problems that plague us. Highly recommend them.
The costumer service is best Iβve seen from a tire place
Did not reattach my caliper after bleeding my brakes.
It took an hour and a half to do an oil change. I didnt get a new sticker for when I was in or should return for an oil change. And they didnt talk to me at all about the inspection, which apparently my car has like 5 things wrong with it.
This store is great dont get me wrong but when they tell you to come in at a certain time for a simple oil change and your sitting in the waiting room for over an hour before your vehicle is even brought in is horrible. I just might have to go find somewhere else
Way over priced! Did not listen to what I actually wanted, tried to sell me components that were not neccessary for what I askedFor.
Great place. Helped me code a check engine light with no trouble.
Good friendly service, competitive prices.
Dropped my car off, they didnt work on it the place almost closed the next day so I couldnt even pick it up. Pretty sure they only started working on it because I called them.
Good people...great prices.π
All the guys here are amazing, great fast service. Overall Id never go elsewhere.
Great help and service
They know their stuff! Prices are competitive.
They got me on a timely matter.
Great service today
Friendly staff and snappy service, thanks again!
Had a puncture, thought I had coverage. Was 70 miles from home. Had to buy replacement tire. And since it was only one got screwed out of getting Goodyears discount for 4 tires. Which I purchased 3tires 2 days later.
Quick and friendly
Fast sevice
Fast and friendly service

Wait time excessive
Fast and honest
Good service
