About Our Shop in Stillwater, MN
A Promise Fulfilled
Manning Auto Repair in Stillwater, Minnesota, is dedicated to a unique approach, providing high-quality repairs in a personalized environment where clients are valued.

Same-day service is typically an option, and there’s also a plan for after-hours pick-up/drop-off if that better fits your schedule. We’ll keep you posted via text/email. Making an appointment is easy, too. Simply fill out our online contact form or telephone us at (612) 424-0544.

A Different Approach
A Better Way
Our shop founder Ben Adams started small as the sole mechanic in a single flat stall. The idea was to change the auto repair experience for area motorists. Today, our team continues implementing that vision daily. We believe the best in auto repair and customer service can exist together. We also see the need to educate our patrons. It’s your automobile, and you have the right to make informed decisions based on accurate information without a high-pressured sales pitch. This commitment to customer education is a cornerstone of our work. We’d rather see you for regular maintenance visits than find you broken down unnecessarily. Routine oil changes are one of the best investments you can make in your transportation. A sufficient supply of clean lubricant protects your engine by reducing friction, absorbing heat, and suspending debris. Regular oil and filter change can greatly extend your car’s life and delay internal engine wear. Our team also takes care of other preventive maintenance such as fluid services and factory scheduled maintenance. All vehicles require tires and tire services, as well. We sell and install many brands. See us for balancing, rotating, and repairs between major visits. Automobiles need periodic minor repairs to maintain vehicle health. These include brake pad replacements and tune-ups when the metallic pads wear too thin. Should you experience unanticipated trouble, see us for accurate testing services and a full slate of general repairs. We can help you with the engine, suspension, air conditioner, and more.
A Valued Client
At Manning Auto Repair, every customer is a valued client. This represents a significant difference in our approach compared to other auto repair shops. We’re always willing to explain what’s wrong with your vehicle or which services it needs. Our work is backed by a great 48-month/48,000-mile warranty on most repairs, excluding a few applications like off-roading and some commercial work. We also help you save money, with fair pricing and discounts posted in our Specials section. We accept cash, debit, major credit cards, and Apple/Google Pay, and financing is available. At Manning Auto Repair, we hold ourselves to high standards, ensuring your car is fixed right and you’re helped along the way.
