Welcome To Twin Cities Auto Repair In Minneapolis, Your Premier Auto Repair And Service Shop

A message from the owner…

Look… I could have hired some fancy schmancey ad guy to write this for me like every other web site you go to but it just wouldn’t be from me! I know going to the auto repair shop and getting your car fixed can be like going to the dentist and getting a root canal (Ouch)!

But that’s why we’ve made it painless and simple as possible.

I think Minneapolis Asian Auto Repair isn’t like other auto repair shops. We’ve been serving Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Twin Cities Area since 1988. And our reputation has always been staked on being straight and honest with our customers.

That’s why people call us the “Asian Auto Repair Specialists”: With a proven track record of over 18,363 satisfied clients over the past 25 years. But don’t take my word for it … just click here and see what some of them have to say in

Whether you’re not satisfied with the shop you go to now, your car won’t start, is suddenly making strange noises, your check engine light is on or you just need an oil change, tune up, maintenance work or a used car inspection… If you drive a late model (1996 and newer) Audi, Volvo, SAAB, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW or VW. You’ll know we’ll service your car right!

Saving You Time, Money and Headaches

I know sometimes an emergency or large repair comes up and you’re tight on cash. Well, you can easily borrow money from us at 0% interest for 6 months . You also get free towing, free lockout service and more for a year. To find out more, click here.

If your car breaks down on the road and you want to tow it to our shop, you only get charged what the tow guy charges us– no mark-ups . I worked out a deal with him for you so it’s cheaper than the regular rates he charges other shops. I’d rather do that for you than make money on tow jobs!

If your car needs to stay overnight, we’ve worked out a deal with a local car rental agency to give you a discount on a loaner car. They’ll even pick you up and drop you off at your place or the shop. Now that’s convenient!

We even took the time to make an Exclusive 11 Step Repair Process that we use when we repair your car.

I’m traveling cross country and my CarPlay was not working. I decided to stop in at uptown imports since they service Volvos. Without a appointment,John was more than accommodating in coming out and looking at my problem. He figured it out quickly, which was a big help to me. I highly recommend Uptown Imports for whatever your car’s issue might be!!

I struggled to find a reliable shop for my Mercedes Benz. I wanted to make sure I could bring my car somewhere that I wouldn’t have to return to every three months or feel like I was getting ripped off like at the last shop I went to. Ever since I started bringing my car here, I haven’t gone anywhere else and I haven’t had any issues for a long time. They were also very accommodating when I needed to drop off my car overnight. I really appreciate the customer service, especially Danna. She helped me process my payment over the phone so I didn’t have to change anything in my schedule. Thank you all! I appreciate the great service and will see you again in a few months since I’ll likely need my brake pads changed soon. 🚗

A lovely shop with friendly staff and very conversational. I appreciated the time that mechanic Clayton took to discuss further vehicle care and maintenance. I've found my local go-to shop for sure!

I’m not sure I would recommend bringing your car to this establishment. I was having a lot of problems with my car, which all I got fixed here. I’ve given them a lot of my hard earned money, and they treated me kindly as long as that was the case. I sent my car there to get a diagnostic test, and decided not to get it fixed again because the car wasn’t worth the cost of the repairs. When I received my car back it was not put back together as it was. There was a huge piece of the undercarriage covering sitting in the back seat, getting grime and grease all over the seats. Also causing the remaining covering under the car to be dragging on the ground. Looked under the hood and there were cables unplugged, and random parts just sitting on top. After being a customer of their’s for at least a year, I expected better treatment of my car. It has made selling it more difficult. Also not sure they do very thorough inspections, because I had the same mechanical issue happen after taking it there to get it fixed initially. They said it was caused by something else the second time, would’t guarantee the parts. Dana at the front desk is lovely, she was always very kind during my visits.

My car completely broke down on the side of the road with a bad alternator & Uptown Imports saved the day. Even though it was well past closing AND the day before a holiday John, the owner, was leaving as my tow truck pulled in and he re-opened his garage for me to bring my car in (as it was not drivable). This customer service only adds to the other great experiences I've had at Uptown in the last couple years. The team there has done magnificent work on my car, the reports they send you home with are invaluable for planning any remaining jobs needing to be done & Dana at the front desk is extremely helpful & able to answer all of your questions. I'm really glad I found Uptown Imports when I moved to Northeast.

Brought my Q5 here to get my breaks serviced after receiving feedback from a Jiffy Lube that my break pads were a hazard and needed to be replaced. Turns out they didn't. Thank you to Dana, for being honest & so understanding. Definitely will be bringing my car here when I actually need to have my car serviced. It's hard to find reliable and trustworthy businesses, Uptown Imports is one of the few left!
