Customer reviews
Real customers, real results
★★★★★
I brought my truck in to have new tires and fresh TPMS sensors installed. During a full vehicle inspection they found that my front brake pads had extremely low pad life, and we were able to have the parts delivered to the shop and installed very quickly. The team was professional, honest, and really took the time to explain everything clearly. The prices were very fair, better than most places I called.Dylan M.
★★★★★
Punctual, professional, and honest. He has done work for myself or a family member multiple times now and has never steered us wrong or tried to up-sell us on services.DJ P.
★★★★★
Very knowledgeable about diesel engines. Called us later that same day to check on us. He gave us an itemized bill that was very meticulous. If you need a mechanic you can count on, Dalton is your guy!Greg and Pam H.
Questions
Common questions
How do I schedule a repair?
Book online with any "Book" button on this page, call (218) 454-4116, or email service@daltonsautorepair.com.
Will I know the cost before you start?
Yes. We diagnose first and tell you what's wrong and what it costs. No work starts until you approve it, and there are no hidden fees.
Do I need to bring my own tires for a changeover?
Yes. A changeover means swapping on a set you already own. If you need new tires, book a new tire install and we'll help you pick a set.
What if my tire can't be repaired?
Some damage, like sidewall punctures, can't be repaired safely. If that's the case we'll walk you through your options before doing any work.
How long do most repairs take?
Most repairs are same day. Larger diagnostics or engine work can take longer, and we'll keep you updated along the way.

We're at 6957 Foley Rd in Baxter and serve drivers across Baxter, Brainerd and the surrounding lakes area.
