I recently had to get my trunk, bumper, and tail light replaced after being rear ended. My car is old enough that the insurance company wouldn't pay for the repair, just the salvage. I was going out of the country so as I left I told…

I've went to Central Avenue Autobody for various repairs over the past 10 years. The worst was a deer hit on my old truck. The truck looked flawless when I picked it up. The best part came later when I had it serviced at a trusted local…

This place is the best! It's like a small 'mom and pop' type shop, but they are just as professional as the big corporate places.\r \r They are very accommodating, and they stand behind their work.\r \r I've brought three different cars…

Rick and Ray were fantastic to work with, given the instance that I had to visit them twice this year for collision repair. The work was top notch, and both times I was able to use a free loaner vehicle from them. This was very helpful in…

BEST AUTOBODY SHOP IN NE MINNEAPOLIS! Ask for Rick!
Reasons why you should go here:
- Incredibly polite staff (especially on the phone)
- Do an outstanding job every time
- They are in the business of helping people not squeezing money out of people
- Prices are difficult to beat
- Family owned business
I have brought my BMW in here multiples times for details and dent/scratch removals. For the details I usually only get the external one, but every time I bring it in for one, I notice they detail the inside as well. In addition the scratch removals, I usually leave one or two out that look minor and they find every thing and fix it without any additional charges. Getting scheduled in can be a little challenging but you will soon realize that it is worth the wait due to the quality, service, and pricing.
Recently I nicked my garage and got some white paint on it(About a food in length). I scheduled a time to bring it in to get fixed, but when I brought it in to get an estimate, they came out, cleaned it up with some chemicals, and sent me on my way with no charge. I insisted on paying but they insisted that it was more important to make me happy. Their above and beyond, make the customer happy, and beat expectations is something that happens every time I visit. I would highly recommend you go here to get your car fixed or detailed. You will leave happy every time. In addition insurance will work here as well. You just have to sign an extra form if they are not within your authorized shop with your insurance company.
Central Ave is worth the wait, delivers amazing customer service, family owned, and will ensure you leave happy every time.

I am a repeat customer. Every time I am there I get unparalleled customer service, excellent workmanship and an entirely perfect experience. They deal well with the insurance companies and estimators and I appreciate being able to hand them my keys, get into a nice loaner, and return in a few days to my car looking fantastic.
