Motor Works Auto Repair has proudly served the community since 1984 and since April 1, 2024 has been under the management of Motor Works Auto Repair. We are honored to bring our tradition of care and service to our customers in Elysian.
When Carl and Susan decided to retire after 39 years in business, they wanted to ensure their community would be in good hands. Through a mutual business connection, they met Adam Preusser and Jason Kath, who spent more than a year getting to know both the business and the community before officially taking the reins. Our mission is simple: to take the irritation out of auto repair and provide a positive, stress-free experience with honest and clear communication.
Since 2004, Motor Works Auto has been an independently owned and operated vehicle repair business in Minnesota, serving all makes and models. In 2007, we expanded with specialized technicians and equipment to provide complete service for European vehicles as well. Today, with 9 convenient locations across Minnesota, we’re proud to offer:
• Complete service for all makes and models, including European vehicles
• A 3-Year / 36,000-Mile Nationwide Warranty
• A Free 10-Minute No-Wrench Inspection
• Service that keeps your factory warranty intact—no need for the dealership
• Loaner vehicles to keep your day moving in the right direction
We understand that your vehicle is essential to your daily life. Whether it’s getting to work, taking care of your family, or keeping your farm or business running smoothly, you depend on it every day. That’s why our top priority is keeping you safely on the road. Caring for your vehicle isn’t just our job—it’s a responsibility and privilege we take to heart.
Next time your car needs maintenance or repair, give us a call. You’ll notice the Motor Works difference from your very first visit—we truly want to earn your business and continue to be part of what makes Elysian a great place to live and work.
