Welcome to Uptown Imports - Foreign 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 Uptown Imports - Foreign 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 "Import Auto Repair Specialists": With a proven track record of over 18,363 satisfied clients over the past 23 years. But don't take my word for it … just click here and see what some of them have to say in their own words!

"Fine. Not great, not horrific, just meh. They got most parts done - although it took longer than it seemed necessary. But basic things (like refilling fluids all the way) were missed."
