The Story of Turbo Tim's Northeast

Turbo Tim’s Anything Automotive has been doing auto repair in Minneapolis for over 15 years, but in 2014, Tim transformed an old furniture factory into a massive 20-bay auto repair shop at 2823 Central Ave NE.

With a can-do attitude and an incredible team, Turbo Tim’s has grown from a small, well-kept secret in Northeast Minneapolis to one of the Twin Cities’ premiere auto repair shops.

The Turbo Tim’s Minneapolis Northeast location isn’t just an awesome auto repair shop. During the summers, our shop garden provides beautiful flowers for the neighborhood bees and tasty fruits and veggies, which we love sharing with customers.

Our cool little rain garden collects excess precipitation to improve the health of our waterways. We even have a Little Free Library for all our literary-loving neighbors.

Of course the best part about our Northeast shop isn’t the skilled mechanics or helpful service writers. It’s the kitties! Our veteran crew is led by OG shop cat, Stevie, plus Brandon (the fat one), Bruce (the confused one), and Jose (the wild one).

Having the little furballs raises morale around the shop and we literally couldn’t imagine working without them! Stop in and say hey to the cool cats and peeps who run the most rockin’ auto repair shop in the Twin Cities!

      EXCELLENT

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great and quick service, very mindful of your schedule and plans while your car is in the shop. Incredibly responsive and very easy to schedule online appointments, pay invoices online, and check your service reports online.

Chris at the desk is awesome and does a great job of answering any questions, keeping me updating on my car, and making sure I can get to/from where I need to while my car is in the shop.

I will continue going to and recommending Turbo Tim's!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Turbo Tim's provided excellent service on my Nissan and gave me updates of the things that they were doing and also the cost of these things.  I was kept well informed as to the estimated time of completion and was given an option for a loaner car when I had to get to work and was very pleased that they have this option available at that time. Staff very kind and honest. They are top notch in my opinion. Well done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After one service my initial impression is that they are friendly, fast, reasonably priced and took a lot of care inspecting my vehicle. This is now my go-to auto shop for the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DO NOT COME HERE. I got an inspection done after I told them what I thought the problem was (busted CV axle). They charged me $80 for an inspection and quoted me $1500 for various things in total, yet told me the CV axle was fine. Turns out, the problem was in fact the CV axle which I replaced myself for $200. They refused to give me a refund for their “professional” inspection, quoted me for everything they could, and wanted to charge near $250 an hour for labor all the while never diagnosing the problem. You’re not doctors or lawyers, get a grip.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sad, I went to this place because it looks like such a good place, fun and the possibilities could be endless. Multiple bays and if each of the mechanics paid for the spot... Jeez love the pimp my ride ides interior Wheels speakers glass wrap engine exhaust I mean could be super super cool but, i just got ripped off and wanted a second opinion on a mechanics job they were super cool told me about thi I couldn't believe it cuz I went in there for my exhaust legitly well I got into a front crash and repaired my vehicle myself. Gave me a lift home, an estimate for $10,000 I couldn't believe it and refused to use the funds for my exhaust leaking into the car with my child and my dog because of a transmission case that I fixed I don't know what else to say but these guys are big time Crooks and there's tax dollars that are flowing in and out of there like potluck lunch everyday, nothing about the place was what it could be.. Long story short they refuse to repair and I don't have a good review but I was so excited when I first was like oh you guys are the best I can't believe how great the shop is like wow yep

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am afraid that Turbo Tim’s Anything Automotive has a customer for life. Not only did the human employees make quick work of the oil change and inspection for my car, but the feline greeters in their WSP location, Devin and Dave, were friendly and welcoming. They even sat with me while I waited. I have a “crazy cat lady” sticker on my car, so obviously this is a match made in automotive heaven.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will never use another shop, unless TTs tells me I'm better off doing so. I'm devoted and it's a healthy relationship. TTs never lies or misleads me, they give it to me straight when there's bad news, and they've got my back if I need a ride to or from the shop. (Plus, I get to pet the resident cats and admire the garage hotties.... Hehe)
Five stars forever 🩷

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was very good I expected turbo chance to be let's just say a very high price to rip off joint but I've come to leave it or not they're Fair they did a good job it told me exactly what I needed to know I remember when they came to the neighborhood them and their cats and there wasn't anybody in there now it's just a buzz inside I guess I would recommend you go there cuz they're not going to fix things that a don't need it or be out of your income desires

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friend dropped off my vehicle for my 10AM appointment on 9/9. He explained to Mike that the issue is my auxiliary battery, and Mike agreed that was likely the cause. My friend was told the vehicle would be ready for pickup at 3 or 4PM. We received ZERO communication. I called three times and left a voicemail. No call back. Show up to the shop at 4:45PM to get my car before you close. Total confusion. Mike left at 3PM. Vehicle not fixed. LITERALLY NO ONE REACHED OUT TO ME. People need their vehicles for work. Mike doesn't need to call me with a quote for my auxiliary battery. I will be taking my business elsewhere and informing my friends and family to do the same. Maybe focus more on customer service and less on your cats

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed major work done on a car that had been sitting for awhile and Turbo Tim’s was recommended.  Alex was especially helpful and answered all my questions!  He even looked for a used side mirror that was broken at a reasonable price.  It looks brand new!  I appreciated them saying I didn’t need a few repairs I thought I would have to do due to the car sitting for awhile.  I’m planning on using Turbo Tim’s again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service. Miguel sent me texts to update my service throughout the day. They only started maintenance after I approved the work, they do a full inspection free of charge, and they do a great job. 5 stars!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought in my car for an inspection to find the source of a fuel smell. They were very transparent about how long it would take and kept me updated the whole time. They gave me a vehicle to drive for a couple days while I waited for the more in depth inspection results and got me a Lyft to and from a cafe at my initial appointment. Very friendly, efficient, and cost efficient.
