02About

A small shop, on purpose.

Dale opened Ridgeway in 1998 with two bays and one rule: treat every car like it belongs to your mom. Twenty-five years later we have four bays, three ASE-certified techs, and the same rule.

We're not the cheapest shop in southern Minnesota, and we're not trying to be. We're the shop that tells you when a repair can wait.

“If it can wait, we'll tell you. If it can't, we'll tell you why.”

What customers say.

★★★★★
Told me my brakes had another 10,000 miles left when another shop wanted to replace them. That's how you earn a customer for life.

Check-engine light on a Friday afternoon, fixed before they closed. Fair price and they showed me the old part.

Karen remembered my name and my car from a visit last year. Small-town service the way it should be.

05FAQ

Good questions.

Do I need an appointment?

Oil changes and quick checks are walk-in friendly. For bigger repairs, call ahead so we can have parts ready.

Do you work on all makes?

Yes: domestic, import, trucks and SUVs. We also handle hybrid maintenance.

Can I bring my own parts?

Usually yes, but we can only warranty the labor, not the part.

Do you offer a ride?

We'll give you a ride anywhere in Waseca while your car is in the shop.
