Reviews of Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center
Maddi Langley
I brought my car in for a free brake inspection, and though my brakes were good, they did find some engine issues. They are the first repair shop to take me out under my car and SHOW me what is exactly going wrong. They approved everything with me first, then had parts ordered in minutes. I was able to get my car fixed and had it back in less than 24 hours at a very reasonable price. On top of that, they left me a flower and thank-you note in my car. NOW THAT WARMS A GIRLS HEART. thank you so much for incredible service!
Spring Grey Bear
One of the two mechanics I take my vehicle to, and was always treated great from the start! Blake and his team are amazing help to maintaining my personal vehicle, and offer amazing customer service! Their system allows me to see and understand any damage on my vehicle, and contacting them is always fast and easy! Tuffy is one of the few that I would personally recommend to anyone needing their vehicle serviced!
David Edwards
Rear differential replaced, rear brakes and oil change done on my truck. I trust this place and the service was outstanding. Michael did a thorough inspection on my truck. Even brought me in to show me underneath. Felt confident leaving that I was good to go for a while but knowing I had something that eventually needs replacing. Highly recommend.
Ethan King
Planned stop in Fargo across country for work on a Friday night. About 100 mi out started hearing growling from front end in older Audi. Suspected hubs/bearings. No one open on Saturday except Tuffy’s. Somehow fit us in despite being short staffed and got it fixed in record time. Not only that but brought me back to hotel on lunch break while getting fixed! Saved us at least $250 and two days in travel costs. Scott is extremely accommodating and a credit to the business. K. Crane did the work efficiently and well. Anyone and everyone should get their car serviced here. Highly recommended.
Elizabeth Hinkemeyer
Brought my car in to replace headlights since you have to take the entire bumper off, my headlight went out again and after the owner heard about it he reached out directly to make another appointment and fix it again. Most places tell you you're SOL but it's extremely refreshing to see a company that cares about their customers and well being! Thanks Tuffy!
Talyn
Went in because I was having some braking issues. They got me into the shop for their free inspection right away and did a great job figuring out the issues. Fast and friendly service!! I chose to go to a different shop for the fixes as Tuffy's was a bit on the expensive side for my particular budget.

Greeting everyone, I am the OWNER of GLOBAL ERRANDS ENTERPRISE LLC: Commercial & Residential Cleaning Service. I took my Carpet van for a service at Valvoline express on 13th Ave and they told me that they couldn’t remove the bolt from my oil pan, so I took it to TUFFY AUTO SERVICE CENTER, and they were full, but Brother Scott promised me that he will do everything possible to fit me into the schedule and he did just that and I greatly appreciate all the staff members there. You’re now going to be serving all of our company vehicles. May God bless you all.
Thanks for all you guys do!
Shelby Moreau
Great service overall. They were very open about the cost estimates and didnt tack on unnecessary work. They provide a loner vehicle if you need one and the work is done in a timely manner.
Sharayah LaGier
Scott and the crew win again!
As a long term customer, we’ve never been disappointed by Scott and the Tuffy Team. He goes above and beyond in taking care of our car and giving us the best possible service. Great communication, honesty, and compassion are the key players when Scott is involved and he knocks it out of the park every time.
Thanks for another successful day coordinating Team Tuffy Scott- you saved the day yet again!
Jeremiah
I was told it was a flex plate never heard of it! They did! Which is great…obviously 😂
Anyway they were very quick! Price was fair! They were very nice and personable! My first experience with a crazy car repair so I really appreciate them being patient! Thanks Scott and the team 👍
Christopher Hagen
On a trip from Bismarck to the Twin Cities, my front brake began smoking after a stop in Fargo on a Saturday afternoon. I called Tuffy around 2 pm and asked if they could take a look at my brakes. By 4 pm, technician Michael Kyle, had replaced a brake line and had us back on the road to home. So grateful we could continue our trip. Also, Tuffy's bathroom was the cleanest bathroom I've ever seen at an auto repair shop.
Austin B
They were able to get me in the day of on a Saturday to fix my car. Great customer service from Chris.
Carolyn Godejohn
Earlier this year I brought my Dodge Grand Caravan into Tuffy. It’s a 2009 and it was a return visit. Well, they fixed my A/C and throughout all the 90+ temperatures this year I have stayed cool and comfortable.
I am enthusiastically recommending Tuffy for whatever you might need. I have had quite a bit of work done and they have supported me with warranty work and care.
Care for me and my vehicle.
Thank you to the fine folks over there.
No matter what I drive, I will be your customer for life!
Mateus Ferraz
I have been to Tuffy’s a few times now and the staff is always friendly and understanding. They normally provide me with reasons of why the service is needed and they have neve “pushed me” to repair or purchase something, explaining the reason why that’s changed and if it can wait longer.
I always have a good experience, and even having checked with other mechanics after service was done at Tuffy’s, the quality seems to be high and comparable to Authorized Dealerships, while price is normally reasonable and lower than authorized dealerships.
Joe Langowski
Went in after work too get a tire fixed no appointment they were courteous and had an opening fill short enough too get my tire fixed and back on my car was there maybe an hour and the weather today was terrible most of the day will definitely go again thumbs up
Perry Bekkerus
I had a nearly flat tire, and so I took it to Tuffy’s. They were really busy, but took the time to work me in while I waited. I had a fixed flat within 20 minutes, and they showed me the screw I had run over. I’ve got some other work to be done, and I will call Tuffy’s instead of the dealership!
Soccer Goalie 86
For me, this is the only place I will bring my car. I called here after another repair shop upped their bill estimate by $60 and Blake could fit me in at the last minute and got my car back to me fast. Plus, it was $10 less then my original estimate from the first shop that I went to.
They also have a loaner car so I don't have to miss work as I work 14 hr days and 6 days a week. Thanks for being a great customer oriented business and y'all are nice to boot!! 😊
I would definitely recommend this place to others!
Jae Emery
First time goin to Tuffs Auto service had an appt at 1:30 walked in the manager asked what can I help you with today, I said I had an appt at 1:30 to have my tire looked at and also to see if they could see what was goin on with my heater, the manager said he would try and do his best to get me in cause of it being so cold out side they have been supper busy, with in the hour they got my truck in looked at the tire and the heater and fixed the issue with the tire and told me what was goin on with the heater, gave me estimated price and also on the tires, did my oil change. For the first time being at a place Tuffy Auto Service did an amazing job, manager was very nice very professional answered my questions, the team that works for Tuffy Auto Service they are awesome, will be goin back there again. Thank you so very much for helping me out when you guys were supper busy.
Bite Me
I came in to get a transmission repair I didn’t expect to have it done for awhile since they have to pull the whole engine . And it was a Friday! They got it completed in 24 hours for a good price and I was called and updated every step of the way! I worked with Scott and I’m very pleased with the work they did and his professionalism. It’s been about 5 days and 600 miles later I’m very happy with the work and if I ever have need for repairs again I know where I’m going!
Carly Whiting
I’ve been going to Tuffys for 5 years now. I recommend them to everyone! Scott has gone out of his way to make sure my vehicle is in tip top shape. He’s always thoroughly explained any vehicle issues and what they plan on doing to my vehicle if it needs work. If you’re looking for that “small town” customer service/feel, this is the place for you. They truly care about your vehicle and keeping the cost down. I’ve never felt taken advantage of here.
Namarie Dansuri-Keating
Professional, friendly, informative, great prices, excellent work! The best mechanics in town! Thank you so much, Tuffy's Auto Center crew, especially Scott! :)
We keep coming back here for our vehicle needs and this last time we needed our entire engine replaced! Michael Kyle is an amazing mechanic! Thank you so much for fixing our car! <3
Ashley Groskopf
Scott and his team were so helpful in assisting me with my car troubles on a weekend. Very reasonable pricing. They took my car for multiple test drives to make sure everything was working properly before returning my car to me. Will definitely be back for future car problems.
Tom Rafferty
While traveling through Fargo we were stranded with a car that wouldn't start. After calling numerous shops we stumbled on Tuffy. They arranged the tow, found the issue and got us back on the road in a few hours. every other shop was at least a week out. ( it was -12 at the time) I still have one son at NDSU and if he has car issues I will be sending him to Tuffy.
Ernesto Lozano
Was going through Fargo, and a bearing went on my front wheel, and I found the place at 3 PM, and they were all full for the day! But the guy made it possible to get it done the same day! Was back up and going before 6PM! I'm greatly thankful for their service!
Sheila Okins
I am very grateful to the staff at Tuffy in Fargo, ND. They answer all my questions and concerns. When I pull off the lot, I feel assured the vehicle will run nice without any complications. I have gone in a few times at the last minute with fear of how vehicle is running and every time they have helped me immediately. I love that mind of service. You can't get that anywhere else. Thank you very much Tuffy staff!!!
Josh Andres
We were on a family vacation when we started having brake problems. Every place in town was booked but Tuffy told us they would do everything they could to fit us in. Two hours later we were back on the road with new brakes. Tuffy saved our vacation! Thank you!!
Emily Shaugabay
We are from out of town and they squeezed us in their busy schedule. They were super friendly and very accommodating. The did quality work for a fair price. I would definitely recommend Tuffys. They made what could have been a tough situation into a good experience.
Becky Lipp
Tuffy's really cares about their customers. The owner is sincere and is actually in touch with what goes on at the ground level. I have personally interacted with him and he made me feel cared about and valued. You can't get that experience anywhere else. Whenever I bring my car in for an oil change, they inform me of any areas of concern but don't push me into buying anything with a sales pitch. I will continue to be a loyal customer to Tuffy.
Eric Kemerling
Ive been taking my vehicles to Tuffys for over 10 years. The whole team is trustworthy, courteous, and doing great work at a fair price. There is no other place I would trust more to get my repairs done. They will treat you right and most importantly make sure the job is done right.
Kali
I went in to get my oil changed and a few other things checked yesterday and even with them being a bit behind, I still got the call that it was ready in under two hours. When I got back into my car I saw that they had placed a REAL flower and card on my passenger seat to thank me for coming in. I would definitely recommend this shop!
Update 2021: The guys at Tuffy will ALWAYS deliver with the best service!!
Justin Zaun
This is one of the best service shops in the area. I grew up in a car dealership, and worked in a shop as well. These guys are honest, timely, and are always in a good mood. Don’t hesitate to bring your vehicle here.
Timmy Thompson
This is a great shop. I came here after another place struggled with installing a coilover kit to lower my car. Scott the manager was a refreshing change from a lot of places as he was friendly, upfront with pricing/expectations, and even stayed a little late after close to get everything wrapped up. The work done is excellent and I will bring definitely bring my vehicle back here for services in the future.
Samantha Anderson
I called Tuffys and talked to Scott & told him my windshield wipers were not working & it was going to rain and needed them fixed. I also mentioned my brakes were making noise, which he said they will look at it for me. He quickly got me in for the next day, he made sure to get me in at a convenient time since I worked. I arrived and they fixed my wipers, new brakes and rotors. Once my car was backed up, Scott noticed my one brake light was out & they replaced that at no cost for me. They showed me my old stuff compared to the new. Scott & Blake were very helpful & professional while I waited. I will be coming back.
Tiffany Wright
We recently purchased a 1996 Pick-up so we needed to get it inspected. We brought it to two different places for the inspection for comparison purposes. We were amazed at the price and kindness from Tuffy. Tuffy was not even half of what the other shop's cost was. It was nice that they took us into the shop and showed my husband the issues while the truck was lifted. We appreciated the same day service for all of the repairs that were needed, we were able to get a loner vehicle for the time it took for the repair. Thank you for your kindness and honesty.
Kara Willis
Highly recommended! We were traveling back home from vacation when we had a major antifreeze leak, we called and Scott told us what the issue probably was (which he was correct) and shop was able to get our truck fixed same day to get us back on the road. Thanks for the great service!
Annie Malcolm
Our family of 4 was driving home to Michigan from Glacier National Park when our Toyota Highlander started making an alarming noise. We had stopped in Fargo for the night and hoped that our SUV would sound better in the morning! When it didn't, we went to Tuffy and found out we needed a new water pump. Even though they were very busy with multiple vehicles needing repairs, Scott found a way to fit us in, which was a huge relief since we had been on the road for 12 days and didn't want to add another due to car problems. Scott was professional, friendly, reassuring, and went out of his way to provide us with excellent service, even offering us a loaner car (which we accepted) so that we could go to the zoo and out to lunch while our water pump was replaced. Mike did excellent work and finished the job an hour before it was promised to us. He was also extremely friendly and a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend this shop and would bring all of our cars to it if we lived in the area!
Kari Holmer
I scheduled 2 oil changes 2 weeks ahead of time. When I arrived on time the manager told me they could not honor my appointment because they had too much other work due to the cold. He turned me away saying "We are more of a full service shop and told me to go to valvolien oil change instead". He also said he may not be able to honor a second oil change appointmentI had scheduled two days later for my wife's vehicle.
The owner did reach out which I appreciated.
Kevin Roach
I brought my car to Tuffy due to a check engine light that had caused a loss of engine power. Tuffy was able to get me a loaner car and let me know that the repair involved a miscommunication with my speed sensor and gas pedal. Tuffy did the research to find out that my repair was covered by a gm service bulletin and directed me to a local gm dealer. I have been coming here since they opened in 1999 and will continue to do so as they are the gold standard in car care customer service.
Levi Wagner
Recently, I hit the mother of all potholes and bent my front and rear passenger side rims. Tuffy Auto Service Center has been the place I take my car when it needs something as little as an oil change or to repair my bent rims for the past year. In A friendly, timely, and efficient manner I was out the door after Tuffy's mechanics made sure nothing else was wrong with my car. In a case of bad luck, I purchased rims that I did not want on my car. The manager Scott was very understanding. He let me replace my rims for the ones I wanted AND did not charge me a penny for labor the second time around. When I arrived to exchange the rims I was sadly 20 minutes late. Amidst all the chaos, Scott got my car in and his mechanic Ray swapped the rims out and I was on my way in less than 30 minutes. I plan on taking my car to Tuffys for any of my future car needs. Best part of all, their website always has great coupons!
Ally Haider
The customer service at Tuffy Auto Center was top notch! My car broke down on a freezing cold day and most auto service centers I called said there would be a 2 day wait to have the car looked at. I had my car towed to Tuffy in Fargo and by the next morning they called me with a diagnosis.The manager called me multiple times throughout the day to keep me updated on the progress of the auto repair! I was able to get my car back that evening and they even sent a pick up car to get me from work. This is my second time having auto work done at Tuffy and I'd highly recommend them!
Lola Montez
Scott and his team are amazing. We have had routine maintenance and the occasional emergency work done by Tuffy's. They never disappoint. The charges are always laid out upfront. They stay in contact if there are issues during the repair. We wouldn't think of taking our vehicles anywhere else in the Fargo area.
Andrew Schultz
I've taken my car to Tuffy Auto Center two times, and have received excellent service both times. They take the time to do a quality job, informing you of your options along the way. But even more important, they take the time to say thank you for doing business with them. Couldn't ask for anything more in a car care center, Fargo is lucky to have them :) Thanks guys!!!!
Shelby Stewart
By far the most exceptional service I've ever had. As a woman, I've had some bad previous experiences at other shops, but the men at Tuffy's were so professional, respectful, and overall gentlemen. They got my car in same-day, gave me an affordable quote, and fixed my car up in just a few hours. I will never go anywhere else for car services! Tuffy's is the BEST!
Angelo Valverde
Our van had a bad sound and the nice folks at Tuffys were able to help us out. Couldn't be happier with the service and work done. Scott was professional and helpful. The team explained the issue to us. We brought our van there for a second opinion but going forward this will be our first stop for all our automotive needs. Thanks again!
Linda Bernhardt
During a recent cold spell (-25 below) I experienced car problems. A phone call to Tuffy's and they took care of towing my car to their shop. I received a phone call from Scott with the issues and the cost for repairs; my vehicle was ready the same day. I found the price to be reasonable for the quality and extensive service received. Thank you to Scott and the crew for the great experience during tough times! I will be returning for my regular maintenance.
Becca Swift
Positive experiences going there every time. Friendly staff and they worked hard to fit my car in for a new battery before the holidays. I trust and appreciate their recommendations.
Steven Brown
We went here to have a front end alignment and when we made the appointment the guy was very friendly and helpful. Then when I went to drop the van off he continued to be helpful and knowledgeable. I wasn't just another face. I was number one priority. I thought it was nice when they were all done and I got back into the van and that they gave me some coupons and yellow flower. Definitely a place to go to have your car worked on!
Ron Kuehn
Second time their Scott is always nice and caring went in for wheel bearing next day thought it was still bad Scott said stop right away I did and he took it in right away it is a great place to go manager and mechanics are unbelievable friendly you'd think they were friends
Patricia DBaasch
Great place with a very professional team. No wonder why It is hard to get an appointment!
Robert Sell
The work was completed efficiently and fairly. I dropped my car off with pretty explicit instructions. Walmart tire center could not remove some lugs. Please fix. They called and told me they test drove it. Wait why? Then when I said I don't care about their findings and to just fix the lugs because I have a lifetime Mopar warranty the guy in the phone proceeded to argue with me that at 175,000 miles I don't have warranty coverage. Did I stutter? Life time warranty. Just seemed like they were trying to upsell me anyway possible.
Andy Ladwig
We have gone to Tuffy's for quite a few years now and with 5 different cars. They have always been friendly and helpful and they keep you in the loop as best they can. They always take the extra time to talk with any extended warranty companies so you don't have to, which is really nice. Almost every time we call with car trouble they are able to get it in that day. I also had a friend that went here a while back to have extensive repairs done and has had no issues since then.
UPDATE: Still going strong. We had a repair done at a different shop and that shop failed to notice that the water pump was leaking badly. My wife and I both said to each other "Tuffys would have noticed that". It's hard to come by a shop with integrity like Tuffys nowadays. They honestly care about you and your vehicle, and will always stand behind their warranty. We recommend them to anyone in town.
Jessica Nelson
I'm in town for a little while, witha family member in the hospital. I really don't know my way around here an woke up with a flat tire, went to Firestone an they couldn't plug my tire because of their schedule.wouldnt even consider working me in an told me to drive down the road and find a different place. I stopped at 2 more tire places that couldn't help me. Then I found Tuffys. They got my car in asap, it took like 10 mins, I greatly appreciate that they could take a time out for me an fix my tire. It made my day an out a smile back on my face, then to top it off when I got in my car, they had left a beautiful flower and card on my seat. Thank you Tuffys! It turned my day around! I will recommend this place to anyone who needs car repairs! You guys are awesome!
Nicole Plaschko
I made a major mistake while trying to add oil to my car so i searched car services near me and Tuffy's was the first to show up. I gave them a call right away and was talking to the store manager, who could tell i was very stressed after i had made the mistake on the car and he was SO helpful and understanding and helped me make an appointment as soon as possible. I went in the next day and was greeted so kindly and they were very understanding and helpful and they were able to fix the mistake that i had made on the car. The staff and service was unbelievable and i highly recommend Tuffy's in Fargo!
Pete S (Petergun4fun)
Great people. I took my car to other auto centers. No other center could say what was wrong with it. It took Tuffys 3 to 4 hrs to determine what was wrong and fixed it. They know alot about old or new cars. I highly recommend Tuffys. You will recommend Tuffys too. Pete S
Mandy Johnson
When I call to set up an appointment, I don't even have to tell Scott and the gang who I am or what I drive. They know me and my vehicle so well! I appreciate their honesty and kindness in discussing maintenance needed. I've been going to Tuffy's for my car care needs for many years and intend to continue for many more!
Roxanne Drewlow
This past week we had our Dodge Grand Caravan in for fuel injector problems. I know I had taken out a warranty for the van but could not find it. Scott went out of his way to call the 800 number I ha and got the warranty information and found out that what was going on was going to be covered. If Scott had not taken the time to do this we would have ha to pay quite a bit out our own pockets for this. For this we thank you Scott. Tuffys has given us more answers on what is wrong with the injector than the last two places we have taken our van to. Great work. Thank you!!!
Clint Leidolf
Well I must say Tuffy Auto Service saved the day, We were in Fargo dropping my son off at NDSU and had to have my Jeep towed on a Saturday due to it leaking coolant after our 8+ hour drive from Milwaukee Wi.
Not only did the fix the jeep the service was amazing on this stressful day. They had us back on the road within 2 hours and the used OEM parts. You truly saved the day and turning a negative experience into a positive. Thank you, thank you thank you......................
Greg Brown
Excellent service, I had a simple problem but I have a unique vehicle so two other shops had already told me they could not help. Scott listened to me and was very prompt and professional. The mechanics got creative and found a way to get the job done right. My repair was done the same day for less than I expected. I should have called here first and saved myself some stress. I will definitely bring my vehicle here for any future work.
Dan Boyer
Scott and Chad are amazing!! They are great to work, they are helpful weither on the phone or in the office and they are willing to work with you. Tuffys has excellent prices and they don’t break the bank. They did a fast job to get my car in and fixed up as a new. The boys in the shop got me a few new tires and luges to get me on my way. Thanks boys!!!
Tara Bennett
The guys at Tuffy Auto Center are great. They do excellent work and in a very timely manner. I really appreciated them keeping me posted about what was going on with my vehicle throughout the entire process. I would recommend them to anyone.
Chris
Managers are very proactive in making sure their customers are satisfied. If a mistake is ever made they make a very strong attempt to make things right. The few times I've had a car there I've never had a problem. They seem to have very talented mechanics for basic work as well as extensive work like timing belts.
Randy Stender
We had very good service here. First time we have been to Tuffy Auto Service. People were friendly and very knowledgable. If you are in the Fargo area and need auto service check out Tuffy Auto Service!!
thomas wray
Congratulations to Kim and the whole crew at the Tuffy in Fargo for winning the very convened DEALER OF THE YEAR award for 2021...This only comes form very dedicated and hard work on ALL the employees part. We are VERY proud of you and your staff...Congratulations again
Joseph Janes
I had a very good experience and am very grateful to them. I called on Friday, December 22nd for an unexpected, but needed, repair and was told that although they could not give me an appointment time (as they were totally booked), they would make sure to get the repairs done Saturday so I could leave town on Christmas Eve. I brought my car in on Saturday at 8am, they figured out the problems by noon, and they had it ready around 3pm. He was very kind and professional, and I will definitely keep them in mind for the next time I have a car problem. I highly recommend them!
SKIP DAVIS
I was very impressed with the level of professionalism from the moment they picked up the phone to the moment I got in my car to leave and there was a flower and thank you note on my passenger seat when I left. The mechanic that took a ride with me to make sure they were addressing the right problem was both professional and fun. They didn't have the part I needed in stock so they offered to have it there first thing in the morning and gave me a loaner to get to work the next day. They estimated that they should have it done by noon the following day. I received a call around 10am the following day to let me know it was finished. The price was comparable to other places around town but the service was outstanding. I finally found somewhere to take my car that I don't feel like I'm getting ripped off!
kbproweb
Helped us out in a pinch when traveling through Fargo on a Saturday. Got us back on the road guick. Great guys and excellent service!
Jennifer Akason

So helpful....and to top it off :D I got in my car and found a wonderful beautiful real flower in my passenger seat with a thank you card!!!!!!!! I recommend you guys all the time!!! Keep up the great service!!!!
Desiree Kiser
Usually I don't rate businesses however in the case of Tuffy's in Fargo I have to make an exception. The level of respect and customer service is and was exemplary, Scott the store manager went above and beyond to ensure high quality service and to make it affordable and within our budget to make the vehicle safe for us and our newborn baby. Thank you all for a job well done we will be back and also referring to all our friends
Alexis Rathcke
i have been to multiple auto shops in the last couple months trying to get my car fixed. finally i brought it to tuffy tire and auto service and within 3 hours, everything was fixed. its been a week since i brought it there and it’s still running great. recommend to anyone!
Brent Stroot
Came to town on a Saturday got a flat tire. Everyplace was either closed or booked up for several days. Tuffys was booked up but said come in anyway and they would help us
out. Got us in an taken care of right away. Great service
Mike Roderick
My niece broke down on her 2000 mile trek home from college in Fargo. Not only did Tuffy's diagnose the problem and fix it quickly at a reasonable price, they also arranged a towing company to come and tow the car to the shop. Kim and Scott were very helpful and honest. Working with them over the phone long distance from Washington state was no problem at all. They did a great job!
Alexis Brandt
I had to get my water pump replaced about 3 weeks ago, and I received excellent service. The staff was very polite and they got my vehicle in right away and it was fixed less than two hours later. I will definitely return because this is an auto shop that I feel that I can trust to bring my vehicle to.
Lisa L
At Tuffy's Auto Service, you get great service with honest estimates you can rely on. Scott Miller has been especially helpful and can always schedule me in for a repair or quick oil change. I have been a customer here for over 5 years and never been disappointed. I remain a loyal customer. Thanks Tuffy!
Greg Howells
Everything was perfect!
-I called the day before to schedule an appointment for the next day.
-Every worker was friendly and they were ahead of schedule, my oil change took 20 minutes if that.
- I had previous bumper damage and they tied up my engine protector without charge
-I will go here for all I can the rest of my life, they are honest and do what is best for your car, not their company like so many other places.

They were fantastic to work with. I seriously used to drive 7 hours to the place I have got to since I was 18. 🤣. Now I have a place I absolutely trust in Fargo! …

We have been Tuffy customers for years in Fargo and that is due to Scott and the team's service excellence they provide to us! We are always clearly told of any maintenance required and never pressured, they are always looking out for us.
We recently had some major maintenance done on a new vehicle we purchased just in time for a Black Hills camping trip. Scott made sure it was fixed for us in time to take on vacation and even told us to swing by with our camper attached if we had questions.
It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust. We feel that we have found exactly that in the Fargo Tuffy's!
*Update 3/2/2019
Tuffy's continues to be our go to service center. Actually, we do not let anyone else touch our vehicles. While we have had some major repairs recently, Scott, Chad, and the crew at Tuffy's continue to do a stellar job. They always ensure we understand the work needed, and help us make the right decisions for us and not their bottomline. As always, Thank You Tuffy's!

A big huge thank you to Scott and his team! My van was having some very concerning issues and I needed it checked out asap I brought it to a different shop and was belittled and told nothing needed to be done when I left that shop it sounded worse so I called and spoke with Scott and even tho it was a Saturday they got me in and fixed my car and I'm proud to say it feels safe again. Many shops will sit there and tell women either A) something needs to be fixed that doesn't or B) nothing is wrong so the damage gets worse and cost more money......that is not the case with this team they make sure their clients are treated well. They have fixed so many things on my van and even fixed a big mess up from the prior shop for me so I didn't have to deal with the owner of the other shop I went to. I will not trust any other team with my vehicle because I know if I bring it here I will be kept informed, given information on what will happen if I decide to not do the repair, and I'm treated with respect which is a huge deal for me. Thank you Scott and the rest of your team for treating me like family and making sure my vehicle is safe for me and my son I greatly appreciate it!
Nathan Hanson
Very professional and good communication. I never had any doubt on what was being done on my car, when it would be done, or what it would cost. I have been there a few times in the last few years and have been happy every time. Prices are fair.
Ryan Knudson
Great service. After I had my car at a different shop that said there was nothing wrong with my car, which I knew there was, I took it to tuffys. I had my struts replaced by a friend and after that one of them rattled badly so I had them look and theyou let me know exactly how much it would be to try find the problem. Within an hour they found the problem and we're already putting it back together. First time I have taken a car their and I would trust them with my car again
Jessica Golombiecki
Always amazing service! They take the time to review every repair and all my options with me as well as show me exactly what is happening and explain normal mileage expected for the parts in replacing. Outstanding service!
David Berg
Friendly, fast & efficient -- and they must have known that I brought my wife's car in, because they put a flower in the front seat with a thank you card when they were done! I will be coming back to Tuffy's!
George Onufer
These guys put the customer before the vehicle. I was working with scott on getting my chevy silverado repaired, I was told that with everyone they had coming in that they might not even be able to look at it today. I brought it by and they immediately put a guy on it, listened to and answered my questions, and made me confident I had chose a great place. Scott gave me updates on the truck's condition and instead of just saying the action taken, he explained why they were doing what they were doing and the different results we could expect to see. Most places put your vehicle first. These guys put me first.
Jonathan Materi
Update: Kim (the owner) called me and offered his reasoning on why they would not put on a shorter belt. Their reasoning was that because my car was designed with an AC system, they could not guarantee that a shorter belt designed for my model without an AC system would work with my vehicle and that the bypass pulley was the "official" fix. I completely understand why they may not want to install a shorter belt, as if something fails, they are on the hook for using an "unofficial" fix. If Tuffy would have just said something along the lines of "yes, a shorter belt may work fine, but we won't do it because we don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong for using a shorter belt" when I originally asked, that would have been completely acceptable to me, and I would have been on my way exploring my options. But as it stands, their original response to my question still left me $170 in the hole (potentially more), and is the reason for my neutral star rating, previously up from one star. That being said, I was impressed to see that the owner called me and wanted to make it clear that their reasoning wasn't to rip anyone off, which I believe. I also have had a little previous work done with Tuffy, and had no complaints with the mechanical work done whatsoever. From the phone call, it sounds like we both learned from the experience, and I'd still recommend that everyone does his research before doing a repair no matter what mechanic he goes to.
Original Review: Serpentine belt broke due to a seized AC compressor (already knew this before taking my car in). Got a quote for ~$450 for parts and labor to remove the AC compressor, add a dummy pulley in its place, and replace the belt. Before I gave the go ahead, I asked if it would be possible just to use a shorter serpentine belt and keep the seized AC compressor pulley out of the loop. Was told it wasn't possible, so I gave the go ahead to perform the $450 in repairs figuring I had no other option. While they were removing the compressor, I called O'Reilly's and asked if they had a serpentine belt in stock for my sonata that didn't include the AC, which they did. Told Tuffy's to stop working on my car and was charged $170 for the compressor removal and Freon discharge. Turns out the $15 shorter belt from O'reilly's plus half an hour of my time worked perfectly and I had the compressor removed for nothing. Luckily I stopped before the whole $450 repair was done, so I'm only $170 down now for no reason. And it really was for no reason - the compressor pulley would have in no way interfered with the new shorter belt. This is either incompetence on Tuffy's part, or worse, upselling a $15 repair (probably $70 with labor) to an unneeded $450 repair. I think I'll just stick to oil changes with them from here on.
Shaun Gregerson
Can't say enough good things about Scott and the mechanics! Explained all the problems they found and got them all repaired in a timely manner and a fair price. I depend on my vehicle for my living and recommend these guy's for anyone that needs top of the line service fast to get back on the road!
Heather Kraemer
I needed a new battery put in because my car wouldn't start. So I called on a moment's notice, and Scott knew how badly I needed this done ASAP, so he got me in right away! I had no appointment, no heads up, nothing. He got my new battery put in in under a half hour, and was so nice the whole time. I will definitely be back!
Steve Shark
Had received quotes for some fluid flushing for my 2010 Kia Sedona 100,000 service. Had also asked them about an estimate for a 100k tune-up (spark-plug replacement). Went ahead with the fluid flushing and brought it in. Got it done 1 1/2 hours sooner than promised and they had also taken a look at the spark plugs. Was told by Chad that they "looked brand new" and he didn't feel there was any reason to change them. It was a refreshing change to have an auto service place tell me that I DIDN'T need a service (an expensive one at that) that I had asked for a quote on. Too many places, especially the "quick oil change" places are all too eager to find additional services to replace, sometimes needed, sometimes not needed.
Chris Feist
Customer Service was awesome! Very friendly. Fixed everything that needed to be fixed and everything was a decent price! Would definitely go back! Went to a competitors to get an oil change and would only come back to tuffys scott and crew are the best around
Chcoclate “Chcoclaette” Cunningham
I will recommend this place to anyone very helpful, very understanding, they will fix your car timely and everyone was nice respectful, they are worried about the customer and the customer care and making sure that the customer is satisfied I will be taking my car. Shop again, this will be my mechanic.
Josie Lunski
My go to place. Fair prices, great service, no one does extra without my permission. I as a woman have been talked down to over charged for bs work. I don't worry about that here.
Dan Slaubaugh
The guys at Tuffy's are personable and honest about your automobile. They won't rip you by charging unnecessary fixtures on your car that doesn't need fixing. If you are looking for an honest, reliable auto shop, Tuffy's is the place for you!
Jenny Junker
Always super nice and professional- I take my car to these guys whenever I need an oil change or if an issue comes up. They are always friendly and helpful! Highly recommend this auto shop for any car needs!
Donna E
Tuffy's has always been great! They explain things to me and always work hard to get me in during times I am available. The guys are all great! Thanks for taking such good car of me and my "baby"!
Jordan Chuinard
I have been taking my work and personal vehicles here for years. They fix what needs to be fixed, and keep you informed on your vehicle. This shop does everything. I have peace of mind taking all my vehicles here knowing I will get good, honest service done. All of the mechanics and owner (Kim) are very personable and friendly.
Tennille Turner
I worked with Scott and he was very nice and professional. He helped me understand more by bringing me into the shop and giving me a visual on what was wrong with my tires which I appreciated.
Roxanne Meyer
I never write reviews but this was such an exceptional experience I had to. I would give 10 stars if I could. I needed a complete brake job and they got me in right away and were amazing! From start to finish they exceeded my expectations! My dad had recommended them to me and now I will to others! Thank you so much!
Jill Moffet (Lips)
As a delivery driver. I needed my car looked at right away. Tuffy was there for me when I needed them the most. Thank you for the professional and quick service that you gave me. I was able to go back to work safely.
geoffrey walker
I'm giving tuffy three stars ONLY because they are friendly. Let me explain why I won't rate them higher. One: the first time I went there owner Kim said he could for me in for alignment. I drove 63 miles each way just to be told they can't do it. Two I called to put a part in. They said they'd do it than said techs are not willing to do the job. They lost over 350 dollars for that incident.
I believe in good honest and upfront business practices. If you are going to do something than FOR CHRISTS SAKE hold yourself to it. That's how you keep business.
Cannot say how good they are as I never actually had the opportunity to see THIER work. Just the runaround.
Sorry but that's my opinion based on what I see and has happened to me personally.

They did a good job on changing my tires and my rim. They were nice and pretty quick! Would recommend and come back again for a good price.

derek booth
Had a problem with my A/C belt right before the holidays, when everyone was getting last minute work done. Tuffy’s not only was able to figure out the problem; but also squeeze me in to fix it despite being fully booked. Kudos to the front desk Chad for finding time and to the mechanic Mike for taking care of it in such a timely manner.
Blair Fredrickson
Tuffys has been great to us. They're friendly, easy to work with, and very transparent with you.
Jerry Jones The Lizard King
I have never had a bad experience here. They have replaced my rack and pinion, alternator, and repaired my power steering. All services were performed in a timely manor and for an affordable price. I recommend it for any auto repairs.
Alex Keeler
I went there for an oil change after being told by Walmart it would be a few hours. They told me 15 minutes, it wound up being about 25 but they left a rose and a card in the passenger seat. They said it was because they valued me as a customer.
Either way it cost almost $30 for the basic oil change and if you go to Walmart you save $10.
Personally my $10 is worth me getting the oil change done in a few minutes instead of hours.
Connor Vandecaveye
Steve was amazing and helpful with questions I had about my oil level. Highly recommend!
Britt Even
I have taken my car into Tuffy twice and have been given great pricing and excellent service. The guys are always timely and provide a comfortable environment for clients to be in. I would highly suggest giving Tuffy Auto a try.
Alyssa Studer
Reasonable prices and friendly staff. I made an appt for an oil change and they had it done in 45 minutes. Free kuerig coffee while I waited and a flower waiting in my car for me when it was done!

I was referred to them by a friend, now I take all of my vehicles there. There was at least one case where I was CONVINCED that I need a part replaced on my car and was ready to pay for the work, and they flat out told me I didn't need it! That's honesty at it's finest!
Marie Else

Dereck King
Highly recommend this place!!! They get the job done for a good price and are pretty fast. They do inspect the car and look for anything out of order or needs fixing but is just a recommendation on getting it done. It’s important to them that they disclose that information to you as it will be saving you the time and trouble for the future. The mechanic that helped me listed all the things in order from top priority to lower. Now we know what needs to get fixed first and that’ll come in the future. Tuffys gets the job done and will be coming to them again.
