Honest Minnesota Auto Shop


There are many things that make Clark Automotive different than other auto mechanics, but arguably the most important is Clark Automotive’s commitment to honesty and to communicating effectively with their clients, especially when you are in need of a second opinion. Most auto repair mechanics simply do not care enough about your experience with their shops, but Clark Auto wants you to have the most accurate information available.


Our team understands that you can choose to take your car to any repair shop. When you choose to take your car to Clark Automotive, you will feel appreciated and welcomed, not manipulated and played. The way that Clark Automotive expresses that appreciation is by treating you well by giving you an honest, dispassionate appraisal of your car. Clark then delivers on its promises and communicates with you about the nature of repairs needed and the best estimate of their cost.


Not all auto shops can make such claims. Clark Automotive is different because the staff wants to succeed as a business by being honest with the people who bring their cars to them. Good business practices involve convincing customers to return. Not-so-good business practices involve manipulating or downright lying to customers about the nature of their car’s problems.
