The Brookdale Firestone is my choice for getting minor repairs and oil changes done on my car.
As a woman, I am naturally a little paranoid about car service shops. You hear the statistics of us being taken for a ride because our general lack of knowledge of this machine called the automobile.
I am not one who is nieve, so I did my homework when choosing a place to have service done on my car. I like Firestone because I have never once been lied to, upselled for things my car didn't need or had unprofessional service.
I go in and get an oil changes every 3 months, and each and every time, I am in and out in less than an hour. I usually just go across the street to Brookdale Mall and do a little shopping to kill the time - they just call me on my cell when there done.
These guys are so friendly - they welcome me the minute I get in the door, they are open to me asking my car questions and have many times checked little things out at no cost.
I bought a set of tires last year w/ a warranty. After the storm that we had in September (you know, the one that took all the trees down - scary!) Well, I got stuck driving in that storm and ended up damaging my tire because of all the debris in the street. Firestone was able to replace the tire (at a minimal cost due to the warranty) very quickly and did a rotation and I was off. That really gave me piece of mind. They also send me a coupon reminder when I need to get my tires rotated (also free with warranty)
A good way to try them out without a big investment is to save one of those oil change coupons you get in the mail. They usually are for less than $15. I am sure you will be satisfied.

I have heard some fantastic word-of-mouth by fellow South Minneapolis residents about Parent's Auto, located on the corner of 36th & Lyndale Ave. South. My husband and I have been their customers for 6 months now, and here is what we like about them:
*They diagnose efficiently & thoroughly give accurate estimates within 90 minutes of dropping off your car.
*If you can't afford all the repairs, there is absolutely no pressure to get a $700 job done. In fact, for those of us who do not know much about cars, they help you determine what is high priority and what can wait. *They work with your budget.
*They have excellent customer service and as a woman, I feel that I can trust them.
Here is what we don't like:
*Their tires are more expensive than other tire centers.
*The service costs are higher.
*I brought in my car for a tune-up and oil change and got a laundry list of other things I need, jacking the cost up $500 above what I expected to pay. HOWEVER, see above bullet points.
Overall, if you have had it with the big chains that keep nickel-and-diming you, try Parent's Auto.

I had tire damage from hitting a curb in the winter. I was quoted a price from my regular auto shop, and decided to call around for a second opinion before I went broke. Pep Boys quoted me a price about $60 cheaper and also matched an oil change coupon I had for another auto shop, so I saved quite a bit. They did a fantastic job, and had it done in about 90 minutes. On a separate occasion, they installed an air filter for me free of charge. Overall great service and very competitive price.
