Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“These guys are serious contenders in the auto repair business. I brought my 2011 Mercedes Benz E350 4matic in for a thermostat issue. They had it done in just a few hours. When my coolant low light popped on, I just swung by, and they tipped off the coolant with genuine Mercedes Benz coolant. The skills are top notch, and I feel they are leading the industry in service. [They] bring back the true ‘service station’ of times gone by. Thanks, guys, for providing a better option than the dealership.” – Michael K.

Not Your Average Auto Shop

We wanted to learn all about Chris’s Auto Repair and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Chris Rieger.

The first question we had for Chris was what is it that sets Chris’s Auto Repair apart from their competition in South Dakota. Here’s Chris’s response:

“Chris’s Auto is here for you! We have top-quality techs servicing our customers’ vehicles with the latest technology to fix your problem the right way the first time! Free loaner cars and Lyft rides are available, so you can go on with your day, and we’ll never charge you anything without checking with you first!”

Chris went on to add:

“Vehicles can have expensive repairs needed, like an engine or transmission job. We can provide financing options for our customers so their repair can be made.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Chris’s Auto Repair and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Chris had to say:

“Our mission is to serve our customers and our community. Every August, we hold an open house event and help those in need with free oil changes and some repairs. Every day, we are working to make the roads a little safer by taking care of our customers.”
