Minnesota Automotive Inc. has teamed up with Mike’s Tire One, who has been providing quality car care in Coon Rapids, Minnesota since 2010. We are a family-owned business delivering honest and professional automotive repair and auto maintenance services to the people of Coon Rapids and surrounding areas. Our quality ASE (automotive service excellence) certified mechanics have over 50 years combined experience, employ today’s latest automotive technology, and are equipped to handle all major and minor repairs on foreign and domestic vehicles.
Minnesota Automotive Inc. is a certified NAPA AutoCare Center. We are able to provide the benefits of an established national entity while maintaining the personal touch of a family-owned business. We understand that your vehicle is a major investment, and that is why we care for each customer’s vehicle as if it were our own– and have for many, many years.
Our location in Coon Rapids is no stranger to name change. The shop started out with the name “Amoco Certicare,” because of the gas station next door. Next, the name was flipped to “MR Tire.” Then, onto “Coon Rapids Tire One,” before shortly becoming “Mike’s Tire One.” Finally, our Coon Rapids location made its way to “Minnesota Automotive,” a name that customers will never forget.
Owner Aaron Strand bought Minnesota Automotive from Mike Melberg, previous owner of Mike’s Tire One, already equipped with excellent mechanics and a ten-years-strong reputation. Aaron will be the third owner at this location, and he is looking forward to serving the great community around him.
“I plan on carrying out the same great work as Mike, and fixing up the property to bring up to 2019 standards. It has been a dream of mine to own my own commercial shop for many years. I decided it was time to act on my dream a couple of years back, and started looking for ways to be able to make that dream come true. I almost bought a couple of other shops, but it didn’t work out for one reason or another. But, it was destiny when Mike’s Tire One became available, and I jumped on the opportunity.I see myself as a helper for not only the community of the state of Minnesota, but also the community where I live and work. I have the desire to help lift everyone up that I come in contact with.
One of my new ways to save my customers money is rust-proofing their vehicles, so they don’t have to worry about having a rust-bucket vehicle after 7-10 years of driving in Minnesota winters. We use a non-toxic product called “Fluid Film,” that was developed in the 1940s for the US Navy in order to keep warships from rusting out. Now, Minnesotans have the opportunity to keep their vehicles for 20 years or more, with the help of quality auto maintenance from Minnesota Automotive. Thus, saving the customers money by not having to buy a new car after 7-10 years.”
