Our Story

Four Decades of Keeping Brainerd Moving

Spikes Auto has been a fixture in Brainerd, Minnesota for over 40 years. What started as a straightforward commitment to honest, capable auto repair has grown into one of the most experienced and trusted shops in the area.

We've never chased volume or cut corners. Every vehicle that comes through our doors gets the same thing: a proper diagnosis, straight talk about what it needs, and work done right at a price that's fair. That philosophy hasn't changed in four decades, and it won't.

Along the way, we developed a specialty that sets us apart from virtually every other shop in the Brainerd area: Volkswagen, Audi, and BMW. European vehicles demand a different level of knowledge and tooling, and we've invested in both. If you drive a VW, Audi, or BMW in central Minnesota, we're the shop for you.

The VW, Audi & BMW Difference

Most shops in the Brainerd area aren't equipped for Volkswagen, Audi, or BMW. The electronics are proprietary, the tolerances are tight, and the diagnostic protocols are brand-specific. A shop without the right tools and experience can easily misdiagnose or damage these vehicles.

Spikes Auto has spent decades building expertise in European vehicles. When other shops turn you away, we're the call you make.
