Any decent Import shops in SE Metro?
My buddy has a 2006-ish Mitsu Montero and is looking for a good shop (not a dealership) to fix it up--it needs some basic stuff, power steering and a/c work, nothing crazy but a lot of the shops around him (inver grove heights) ONLY want to work on domestic cars.

Any suggestions?

My mom has been going to Crystal Lake Automotive for years now off 46 in Lakeville, near Buckhill.

Guys guys guys thank you but SE Metro--South East!! None of those shops are anywhere near my buddy, he scoffed at RS Motors in Savage, too far. There's got to be a good shop down there?

I have a somewhat hard time believing he can't find a shop to work on an import. This isn't 1970...

If it's in IGH, there's not really a good Import shop around here. Mainly just domestic vehicles. We have to go to Saint Paul.

When I lived in Apple Valley I either went to All Imports & Domestic Auto Services in Eagan or Crystal Lake Automotive in Lakeville...there wasn't any import shop in AV either, at least when I lived there...
