Reviews of Repair Lair

Andy Schoengrund

Stopped in on a Sunday while they were open to see if they could fix a torn leash loop on a dog coat. Not only did they repair the original snap, but replaced the leash loop with a more reinforced option. All within a few minutes while I waited, and for a very reasonable cost. Staff was very friendly as well- highly recommend!

Katalina Jimenez

Nancy is amazing. Every town should have a Repair Lair. They keep items moving with sales. They repair items but have great second-hand items & gear. I got a beautiful Prana dress, Levi’s jacket & t-shirt for my husband. They give you great prices on your gently used high-quality gear. She took in a down jacket repair while I was there. She knows her stuff. Can’t say enough about this store. Wish I had one in my state.

Jana Huffman

Our tent had a hole near the door that seemed… complicated. A repair instead of a new tent is good for Mama Earth and my pocketbook. I went in with 2 weeks until a camping trip - which was presumptuous- and they were willing (and had it done early). Cost was very reasonable. So grateful for this spot!

Michael Abata

Yes yes yes! My newish Patagonia jacket was split open by the pocket while being washed. I thought about paying for a new jacket and then remembered Repair Lair! I took the jacket in and they quoted me a very reasonable price & time for a repair. They mentioned they used to be an authorized Patagonia repair shop so they had matching fabric and wow, I'm impressed! The jacket looks BRAND NEW and you barley can see the repair. So excited to tell all my friends about repair lair. Highly recommend!!!

AJ Boehmer

Hands down the best place for zipper repair. I brought in a clam ice hub and it was fixed within 15 mins. I will definitely be going back.

Chris Smith

Love the repair lair and their ethic! Reasonable prices and lots of good, used outdoor apparel and equipment.

Ruby Corty

Best place ever! They will not overcharge you. They will fix anything you bring in. I highly recommend you come inside to check it out, there are second hand clothes, really nice backpacks, shoes, gear, ect. I won't be going back to REI anytime soon!

Linda Lillard

Went in with a well loved sweatshirt that the slide had come off the zipper and she put a new one on in less than 5 min! $15.00 perfect 😊 …

Noah Raisanen

This place rocks. Great second hand stuff. Plenty of good outdoor brand names on the racks.

Kaitlin Johnson

Very helpful, was lucky to get a quick on the spot repair for my dogs harness. Kind owner who is happy to keep your gear alive or maybe help it find a new owner. Found shirts and a new bag for around town. A huge variety of stuff in the space.

Sam Nelson

Had a torn snap button on a puffer jacket from out of town, and was expecting a several day turnaround. The work was done in 20 min at a reasonable price, and in the process I had a good chat with the employees and found a good puffer vest at a very good price. Would definitely recommend.

Jack Hamlin

A one stop shop for all camping and outdoor needs. They have a huge selection of gear that looks so good it's hard to believe it's all refurbished. Highly affordable and the owner was helpful with all my questions, definitely will be back!

Jackson Kruger

We had attempted a repair of a tent rain fly’s zipper but didn’t quite get it right. Walked in and got the zipper fixed in less than 15 minutes for $20. And the owner let me bring my dog in! Wonderful place.

Ann Bernstein

Excellent repairs and great secondhand gear and clothing at reasonable prices along with friendly, expert advice. A neighborhood gem.

Henry Slocum

Can't believe it took me so long to come here! I had a fussy zipper on a well-loves garment, their staff diagnosed the issue fast and had it repaired in minutes. This one was a simple slider replacement, so I'm sure other services may take longer. But I really appreciated their willingness to take the few minutes to get my repair done in the middle of their other things. Not worth dropping a star, but I do wish they had quoted me the (exceptionally reasonable) cost before starting work. I will be back!

Lauren Dublin

Fixed my winter coat zipper in about 20 minutes for about $20! Works great! Plus a good selection of outdoor gear- I also ended up buying a hiking backpack I didn't know I needed but can't wait to try out! 😂 …

Luke Van Santen

This place is cool in a "so many things I want to buy" way, and with awesome service, too!

Christopher Green

Outstanding service! I had an alpine mountaineering bag tear in 3 places which was critical for an upcoming Mt. Rainier expedition under winter conditions and had been training all year with this pack. They even got it done early! The real impressive part was, I missed the message and thought they hadn't done it, and I raised a big stink like a big cry baby. They opened up ON THEIR DAY OFF just to let me come in and get my bag, without hesitation. I was completely in the wrong, and they went above and beyond to help a guy giving them grief. Pic attached for the repair, which is holding up well!

Neal Dimick

They made temporary fix to my zipper to get me through to January when they can replace it! They made a fan out of me!

Laura Burke

Awesome store for repairs! I emailed them about a broken zipper and a hole in my favorite down jacket, and the owner was very helpful and responsive. I brought the jacket into the store and they were 1) able to replace the zipper in 10 minutes while I waited and 2) recommended a fix on the jacket that saved time and money compared to my original idea. Will be back to browse used gear as it looked like a great selection.

Scott Cole

Love these guys! Brought in my 15+ year old Walrus tent with a blown out zipper thinking it might cost me a $100+ to fix, and Aidan quickly inspected the condition of the teeth, and said they looked fine, and it was just the two sliders that were bad. $30 and a couple days later (WOW) I had my front door on my tent working like new!! (loved the cool little Repair Lair green pulls on the sliders too ;-) Jazzed to get back out into the wild (screw you mosquitos!! you can't get me now! :) Huge thanks and kudos to the team at Repair Lair!

TJ List

Really like this place for previously owned camping, hiking, outdoor gear. I recently bought a tent and sleeping pads from them. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The gear I bought was previously used but in great shape and inspected prior to my purchasing it, while I was there so I could see what I was getting. It all works great and I love supporting a great local business. Needless to say, I'm a happy customer who will return here for future needs or gear repairs. 100% would recommend.

Renee Van Ryswyk

This place is a Lake Street gem! Fixed zipper in 5 minutes and were very pleasant!😃 …

Jeff Guminey

Highly recommend, fast, reasonable and experts at bringing damaged camping gear back to life!

Bionca D

I went for a sleeping bag and to browse for other items, and they were extremely friendly and helpful. They gave me some good pointers for what to look for in a sleeping bag and helped me out with some other items as well. I left off one star due to the price of the sleeping bag which seemed to be a good deal at the time compared to bags I've seen in other stores. When I returned home I did some searching on the bag and found that I maybe paid more for it then I should have which was disappointing. Nevertheless, the store is still a great local place to support and find a lot of great gear.

Oceana Goldwater

Wonderful place to fix your clothing. I took my purse and my down jacket (both had some zipper issues) there after an other store wanted to overcharge me. The two young men working there were very nice and they took a look my down jacket and was abled fixed the zipper in 5 mistunes. As my purse, I left it there about a week and they called me when it was ready to pick up. I was very happy with the result and the fee were very reasonable. I recommend repair lair. Good job and Thank you.

Katherine Daugherty

Stopped into the Repair Lair today to get a zipper fixed. I was helped immediately and browsed while the zipper was fixed. My jacket was fixed in 20 min and cost $10. Very happy the fix was quick and easy. The store is filled with high quality outdoor gear 👌 I would recommend this place to everyone 👍👍👍

Torleiv Flatebo

They have repaired a bunch of stuff for me. It's so much better to get something fixed than to throw it away. They do great jobs on outdoor gear and bags. They also have a really great selection of second hand outdoor gear. Have lots of quality outdoor clothing from here. Very friendly and locally owned. Shop local!

Cameron

Went to get our giant tent zipper repaired and they were able to finish it in 30 min for 20$. They are a great shop with a lot of cool things. Definitely going if we have anymore zipper/ tent issues!

Alex Tee

Great service! I Definitely recommend them for repairing tents!

J Barns

Small shop that's been there for years but I just found out about it. Another place said my entire jacket sipper and YKK seam needed to be replaced, but Repair Lair took it in while I waited and within 10 minutes, I had a new, working zipper. Outstanding. Also sells used outdoor gear and clothing. Unique place. Highly recommend.

Alexandra Five

I wish I could give this infinity stars for the magic they made on my coat! I stupidly set my coat on a candle years ago and after going back and fourth with communication and shipping the coat to the manufacturer (to save anyone the heartache of having to deal with them themselves, it was Canada Goose and apparently they have their own ideas of what a promised lifetime warranty is on their products). Anyway, we took the chance of bringing it in to see if there was any hope in fixing it, and upon first glance I couldn't even tell which side the accidental damaging was on! It was like a miracle. I was both ECSTATIC!!!! and relieved to have this investment of a coat back in my life after two winters without it! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you to everyone at the Repair Lair for saving my coat! I will never hesitate to come back with other items and will surely tell everyone I know who has an issue that this is the place to go!!

Madilynn Garcia

Such a wonderful selection!! I'm not originally from Minnesota and I work outside a lot. Needless to say, I needed to build an A+ winter wardrobe on a budget. Repair Lair has an excellent selection and super knowledgeable, friendly staff. I found some really great pieces to get me through the cold! I'll absolutely be back to repair a few of my well-loved items in the near future!!

Daniel Rischall

The zipper of my jacket was opening in the middle. They were able to figure out the problem and fix it in five minutes while I waited. With a new slide my zipper is working perfectly.

Emma O'Brien

I haven't yet used Repair Lair for repairs but the shop has incredible consignment at affordable prices, and their staff are all very kind and helpful! 10/10 would recommend to check out :)

Dave Dutcher

We went here to have the strap reattached on my wife's favorite purse. They did a great job, and they charged us less than estimated. Also it turns out they have a good selection of pre-owned outdoor gear.

Torleiv Flatebo

Lots of second hand gear that looks like new, repairs are really high quality and fast. I brought my bike over to see if she could repair some straps on my cargo bags, she said "if you can take them off right now I'll fix them and get you back on the road". Totally great service and even gave my kids a gift on their birthday. Great place.

Judith Spanberger

I took my absolute favorite pair of gortex outerwear pants to be fixed. They were shredded on the inside ankle area and I wasn't too hopeful, but the Repair Lair fixed them right up. They'll last me another several years! And the cost was so reasonable. I also love the choices of good used gear at decent prices.

Becca V

The Repair Lair is amazing! The staff is friendly and efficient and they gave a variety of new and used camping gear and clothing. They were very helpful, more than willing to go the extra mile!

Jeff Disbrow

I was in today for a backpack repair. The owner took care of it while I waited for an incredible price. She is always helpful and gives great advice on gear. The used items are also great, you can find some amazing deals on top quality stuff!

Lee V

Replaced zipper and repaired seam tear in less than 15 minutes at a reasonable cost. Excellent service!

Micah Farenik

A wonderful hidden gem of Minneapolis if you're looking for discounted outdoor equipment. This place has a great selection of refurbished and used outdoor gear from backpacks to apparel to tents and other equipment. The staff is great, super knowledgeable and very genuine. I've been able to find killer deals on great items here, and the stock is always changing. They also have a very nice dog that hangs out in the store.

Iain Knopp-Schwyn

Nice and knowledgeable staff. Went in to get a stay for my vintage backpacking pack and they offered it to me for free. Great selection of gently to well used outdoor oriented clothes and equipment. Also cute masks on sale.

Joaquin Muñoz

This place is incredible! Amazing prices on great, gently used or repaired outdoor equipment. Lots of winter wear like sweaters jackets, heavy cots and boots. And you can always find interesting and unusual items. Friendly service and always willing to take care of your questions. I can't recommend this place enough! I have yet to buy a new jacket since I moved here!

Annie Hickman

I brought in a brand new ski jacket that I was having trouble zipping, and although the person helping was able to zip it very easily she actually showed me how this style of zipper was constructed differently than others (never even occurred to me that there were different zipper constructions!!). I have dexterity challenges and needed a coat that I can zip easily, so she showed me some coats and I found one that worked better for me. It was wonderfully easy and I will absolutely go back there again for outdoor equipment! Many thanks for no hassle, a fair exchange and a great new coat I can actually zip up!!!

Brian Didier

I have been here twice already in the past 2 months and have had great finds. Owner is helpful and informative, very friendly, and has helpful staff as well. Very reasonable prices compared to what some of these items would sell for brand new, and still great quality! Highly recommended. Quote from the owner "If you come here and find something you need, you saved good money. If you come here and can't find anything, all that you spent was a half hour."

James Simmons

Nancy and the Repair Lair crew has fixed and modified numerous camera bags and quite a few zippers on coats for me. She does excellent work at a more than a fair price. I'd recommend Repair Lair's services to anybody! Thanks again!

ron heichert

So great! Called today, and we were able to bring our hammock down right away. They said if it's a quick fix they could do it now but they'd have to take a look first. If it was a more difficult fix it could be a week. Phil was able to get it done in about 10 minutes. Thanks so much!

Stacy Enzmann

The owner is super friendly! There is a theme of fashionable outdoors wear, but I still found a fantastic Anthropologie kimono. Love the selection of quality sweaters, (gorgeous Nordic sweaters!) lovely men's and women's clothing with some quirky finds. Also a nice section of gently used athletic wear for a fraction of the new price including hiking boots!

Kevin Bruns

Had two Patagonia backpack's repaired here. Repair was done really well, great price, staff seems genuinely passionate about what they are doing. Saved me from buying a whole new backpack!

Kaitlyn Stavreff

I came in to have a pocket zipper repair, something I assumed would be difficult. The owner of the shop talked me through the process. I was surprised to get a call the next day saying that my jacket was finished. Repair Lair is speedy and efficient. They make the repairs in house and are locally owned. I am proud that these guys are around.

Valerie Schulz

I brought in two sleeping bags with different kinds of tears in them. The first needed a basic seam repair, but it was long, like longer than 6 inches. The other one my old washing machine ate and it needed a patch (don't put wash your sleeping bags in a top loader kids!). The patch was going to be a lot more work but I needed the bags for camping in 4 days so they recommended using a heavy fabric tape. For the two repairs it was only $20! And they had the bags ready a day early. The stitches are clean and strong and the tape held up well, even in the rain. I might break a few other things and bring them in soon. I'm really impressed with the repair lair, they have good customer service and they do quality work.

Kevin Anderson

Friendly staff, fast service and fair prices. Even made one repair on the spot while I waited. Decent selection of all types of outdoor gear sold on consignment, too. Will definitely go back.

Jack Johnson

Found this place online and stopped by to have them look at a small tear in my down jacket. I walked in, she took a quick look at it and said she could put a quick patch on it or take little more time re-sew in a new piece of fabric for a little more. I elected for the patch and was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Super friendly and helpful!

Patrick Williamson

I've been to this place many times. Very knowledgeable in their gear and always helpful. I went in yesterday so they could repair a zipper on my rainfly and they did it on the spot. This was super convenient because I headed out for a week long camping trip. I didn't even ask them to do it right away! I now go here before anywhere else.

Sally Nankivell

Repair Lair is a great place for the reduce/reuse/recycle ethic. Please understand that this is not a consignment shop, however. It is a business where you donate your clothing and equipment and then it is resold for others to enjoy. I may have been able to get behind that model had I known that in advance, but would have appreciated truth in advertising so I could make that decision myself as to whether to sell my stuff on my own, donate here, or donate to a nonprofit.

Michael Freeman

I like coming here periodically because there is such a changeover of all the items that they have here. I felt really heard when I asked questions extremely experienced staff. High quality repairs. And far more better items than you would expect. I had a lot of great deals here over the last couple years.

Helen Otterson

Excellent service. Got my zipper fixed in less than 15 mins for a reasonable price. Now I can stay warm in my winter jacket

Anna Genich

I hafta say, I spoke wirh owner, Nancy, and she did make it right with me after we talked. She was very friendly and wanted to correct problem with me. I would still chk to make sure they can actually do what u want done. Would not recommend getting zippers repaired here!! Stay away!! I was told she could fix it and then furns put she really couldnt but she didn't talk with me before this, even tho in store, and did a sorta fix it temporarily and they have a minimum 15$ charge So now I will hafta go pay someone else more money when I would have done that originally if she had told me she couldn't in the 1st place! Make sure you have every detail specifically mapped out!!! But, I would think again before going there for zipper repair! And just know they have a minimum of 15$ charge.

David Bell

Best experience ever. Repaired my storm ripped fly at a reasonable price. Great work done. Will use them for everything going forward on my camping repairs.

Paul Bernhardt

Nancy is very, very good at repairing outdoor gear of many kinds. She also has a keen eye for good quality outdoor gear sold on consignment. We're lucky to have Repair Lair in Minneapolis/St Paul!

michelle brost

LOVE Repair Lair. Really cool finds at affordable prices - I always check out this place before buying anything new. The owner and staff are really friendly and straightforward, genuine people. So much in fact, I’m compelled to write a google review. You’re welcome.

Marcus Wynne

Nancy at Repair Lair is the best outdoor gear repair person in Minneapolis and most likely in the upper Midwest. I don't say this lightly. I've written hundreds of gear reviews for magazines like BACKPACKER, OUTSIDE, and various law enforcement and travel journals. I've been a guest to major manufacturer repair facilities and as a long time outdoorsman and professional user of outdoor gear, I've sent (and spent) more than my share on repair of hard-used items. I have an Old Skool Patagonia hard shell I bought back in the 80s that's been all over the world with me and taken some very hard knocks. Despite that, the only failure other than a few holes has been the seam tape coming off. Patagonia told me that I should just buy a new jacket; so did Midwest Mountaineer. I don't want a new jacket. I want my old jacket repaired. So on the recommendation of Mike Lanning from REI, I visited Repair Lair, Nancy's digs on East Lake. She fussed over me and my jacket, and then said, "Well, let me see what I can do." I got back (at a fraction of the cost of a replacement jacket of similar quality) my old jacket perfectly rebuilt and seam taped. Nancy is a stone pro in repair, and from now on, I will never use any other service to work on my much battered outdoor gear. She also runs a great consignment service there so if you're looking for an alternative to Thrifty Outfitter, make the trek out to East Lake and browse her stuff -- she makes drastic reductions to reduce cost -- I got a $100 shirt/jacket for $4 there!! Very highly recommended by this very critical (but very satisfied) professional customer.

Adam McDaniel

Have them my work bibs do fix. (Broken zippers running up one side) fixed it in a few days for the price quoted. Also have a lot of quality camping and outdoor clothing for cheaper than most stores.

ST Rollin

Nancy and her team did an awesome job! I needed grommets put onto 60 fabric letters and they did it FAST and for a very FAIR price. I would recommend Repair Lair without hesitation. Job well done.

Mightyry (MightyRy)

Really nice staff, worked quicker than they estimated and seemed pretty reasonable on their prices for repairing a zipper and patching my LuLu pants!

Sam Kavanaugh

They repaired my gear quickly and with great quality. There also seems to be a good amount of high quality used outdoor gear, I will definitely be back the next time I need new stuff.

Ellany Foster

Wonderful selection of high quality clothes and gear in like-new condition at amazing prices. They have climbing gear, camping equipment, shoes, and a whole host of other things besides clothes, too. Worth coming weekly to see what they have.

Scott Elkins

Great resource for repairs and used outdoor gear

Julia Sweeney

Fantastic repair service! Very quick and well done. Can't say enough good things about Nancy the owner of the shop. Go see her if you need anything repaired! She can do it all!!

Adam Wirtzfeld

Great selection of quality used outdoor gear. Their repair work takes time, but worth the wait--quality often better than new.

Paul Drees

Nancy was awesome, she was really helpful and gave me a quote for the repair I needed right away. I also noticed a lot of great stuff that was pretty dang cheap. Me gusta!

Niklas Banks

Super great staff! Super knowledgeable staff! The owner is such an amazing person! Also, GREAT prices on gear that would normally cost a fortune! Even used.

josh king

It's a consignment store and repair store.... They repaired some Gore-tex motorcycle pants, so they are flexible. And the owner is truly special.... You better check it out... And hipsters can rejoice, I saw a few 1980's pastel/hi-vis color scheme snow suits... Truly a neat place

Melissa Cathcart

This is such a great idea! They offer a selection of used camping gear and repairs performed on site. Friendly owners who want to make sure you buy what suits your needs.

Daniel Rice

(As much as i'd like to keep this gem a secret, i need people to visit and sell their stuff so i can get more incredible deals!) Super relaxed atmosphere, buy and sell for great deals on used-but-useful gear. You can even haggle a little.

Andrew Hill

They will fix any sort of clothing or.oitdoor gear. I have had a few items repaired there and the work has been high quality each time.

Noel Opoti

Nancy and her team are great at what they do! It is also excellent to find good quality used gear at a bargain of a price!

Gregg Johnson

Martin Pemberton

Fast service, much less expensive and sustainable to repair my gear than buy new. Amazing deals on excellent quality used gear & clothing!

Erik Laing

This is like the gear stores of my youth. Excellent repair quality, good prices and some real gems of gear at great prices. Repair and re-use!

Darcie Vandegrift

Unique! A place you can walk in for backpack repair, along with consignment outdoor gear. Felt like a treasure hunt in a Minnesotan’s massive mud room closet or camping gear storage.

Brent Weigelt

Amazing vintage clothing finds!!! Repaired my vintage Hillary Canvas tent zippers while I waited. Saved me!!! Fun banter to entertain while shopping.

Vincent Hopwood

If Nancy and her crew can't fix or modify it -- and your jacket/tent/sleeping bag/backpack isn't completely beyond hope -- they know someone who can. Come for the consignment, stay for the stories :)

Lindsay Simons

Wonderful place. They've got the environment in mind. They repair and/or sell used gear at a phenomenal price.

Other than the quality repair on my winter jacket their rate was a little too high for my budget.

I like that they try to find a creative repair solution for you even if they don't have exactly what you were looking for. It looks like they have some great gear too.

Dave Hoenack

Awesome, reliable and fairly priced repair service -- and the selection in the shop is remarkable and fairly priced. They're absolutely the best!

These folks are simply "The Very Best" ! Cannot say enough good things about the alterations that the Repair Lair did for me. I needed a couple of small changes to my pack that required professional sewing. From the first call to customer service to the prompt order dispatch notice , these folks get it done on time at a fair price and exceptional workmanship !

Brian Elder

Great service, knowledgeable people, awesome stuff! Highly recommend you check these folks out and give some quality gear a second life!

Staff was focused on the repair work but was also very helpful and available when we came in and when we had questions. Can fix zippers on tent materials and are reasonably priced!
