Gary’s Automotive Repair: Trusted Auto Repair in Saint Paul, MN

A Legacy of Quality Service Since 1995

Three Generations of Automotive Excellence

Gary’s Automotive Repair represents nearly three decades of dedicated automotive service in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with roots that stretch back even further. Our story begins in 1971 when Gary started working for the previous shop owner, learning the trade from the ground up and building relationships with customers who would become lifelong friends. In 1995, Gary took over the business and officially founded Gary’s Automotive Repair at 455 Atwater St W, St Paul, MN 55117, establishing a reputation for honest, reliable service that continues today. What makes our shop truly special is the seamless transition of knowledge and values across generations. Greg, who worked alongside his father from day one, now leads the business after Gary’s well-deserved retirement in 2021, and the tradition continues with Greg’s son joining the team to carry forward our family’s commitment to automotive excellence.
