Rochester’s Highest-Rated Repair Shops

Saturday morning, I'm driving on 52 South to the Rochester international airport for our Insane Inflatable 5K when I notice my car start to pull and thump. I pull in, get out, and investigate around my car.

I found... this!

Yes, the dreaded screw in a tire! What did I do? First, I got angry! How much is this going to cost? How long will it take? Can I make it to a repair shop without the tire ripping apart? They're going to try and sell me 4 new tires!

Then I took a deep breath...

I hit up Google. I found Discount Tire nearby on Commercial Drive in Rochester, just a few miles from the airport. Luckily, my car made it. When I got there the man at the counter came out to my car to take a look at it. He said, "Oh, you've been here before. I see you have our tires." I responded with, "Umm, I don't think so..."

He looked it up. I had. He said they'd get it fixed asap. I asked how much it would cost and how long they estimated. He said, "No charge and probably less than an hour. We'll rotate and balance them, too." WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I was so relieved and happy. They did a great job and I'm so thankful.

I don't know much about cars and repairs. I get anxiety thinking about car problems. So, I thought there must be other people like me that want to know what repair shops here in Rochester, MN do a great job.
