Our Story...
Founded in 1971 by a group of experienced muffler shop owners, Car-X began as an exhaust specialist. Today, the company has grown to become one of the nation’s leading automotive service experts, providing just about any automotive repair you can imagine.
Locally owned and operated for over 50 years, Car-X has a reputation of providing exceptional service, and we continue to strive to exceed the expectations of every customer who walks through our doors.
Routine oil changes protect your engine by keeping mechanical components lubricated to prevent wear and heat build-up due to friction. Visit your local Car-X Tire and Auto location to have your oil changed according to your owner’s manual.
Scheduled brake maintenance keeps you—and others—safe. Routine inspections and maintenance are essential for all brake system components. At Car-X Tire & Auto, our certified technicians use top quality parts and offer best-in-business assurances that our service and parts are second to none.
Exhaust systems, including your muffler, are critical for the efficiency and overall safety of your vehicle. Your muffler, exhaust pipe and catalytic converter are vulnerable parts that exist underneath your vehicle, and are therefore susceptible to corrosion and damage, even when not in use.
There are as many replacement tires as there are cars, and they vary in terms of tread design, performance, and price. Your Car-X man can help you select the right ones for your vehicle and make sure they’re installed properly.
The best way to keep your car running as well as it did the first day it hit the road is to visit your neighborhood Car-X Tire & Auto for regularly scheduled maintenance. Your Car-X Man is a car care expert. Let him help you set up a schedule of regular preventive maintenance to make sure your car runs smoothly for years to come.
When you need a fix, the Car-X Man can help with your auto repair! Give us a call or stop in today and we’ll get you back on the road, full speed ahead.

Had to have my car towed to this shop after being told over the phone that they could diagnose and repair it the same day. After paying to have the vehicle towed there, I was informed that they could not fix the car after all. An employee even stated that “the person who answers the phone just says whatever,” which was extremely frustrating to hear.
Because we relied on the information they gave us, my fiancé and I were left stranded late in the day when many other repair shops were already closing.

I went into the CarX in Golden Valley, MN for a scheduled oil change and tire rotation. No one was in the lobby and it didn't have many cars in shop. It took Roger, the manager, over five minutes to get me signed in (I've been here many times. I was told the service would be about 45 minutes and it would be ready. I was going to walk to a nearby business. I returned in 45 minutes and was told that they were waiting for a oil filter to arrive at 4:17 which came and went. Roger called the delivery service and was told they didn't have a driver. I told Roger that he needed to go and pick it up and he did. This 45 minute job turned into an hour and a half. Roger took no account ability for there not being a filter in shop for my Honda Accord and he is the one whom I booked the appointment with and who is in charge of making sure parts are in the shop. I asked for a discount for the inconvenience and was told I already had a discount (I had a coupon for a standard oil change and tire rotation for $29.99) and in the end the bill was $45 and no discount for their mistake and me being inconvenienced for an extra 45 minutes. I will not return to this location.

Hundred percent hands-down do not go to this place I remember one and break inspection was free first off. They charge me $104 for the brakes and on top of that when I brought it in I brought it in for the front end I was having some shaking with the wheel that was the first thing I mentioned to them and they said OK it’ll be $104 to check it out. They told me everything looked fine. It was just the brakes now what I want you to do is keep in mind I’ve been going with them for over 20 years. There’s only one person there left from everybody else that used to work there with that being said I didn’t have a problem before Covid. It seemed like after Covid everybody have do everything so now back to what I was saying I got the brake fixed pads and rollers like they said, still had the exact same problem went back to them and told him I had the exact same problem you told me even after I had to spend all that money on brake pads and rollers he said well we could take another look at it. It’ll be additional $104. I told him to kick rocks I will never go there again ever.🤬😢

I highly recommend this mechanic and I am a returning customer. I do most of my work at home, but when there's something I can't get to or is over my head, I'll drive/tow my vehicles to their shop. These guys are upfront, reasonably priced, and will give you a fair shake. James and the rest of the mechanics are top notch!
