Hello Expedition Autoworks customers and friends! Listening to Governor Walz's announcement today that all non critical businesses will be required to close Friday at midnight is a monument event.
I have gone through the list provided by the state of Minnesota for who is critical. This is who the state lists. Please click "see more" under the link to read the whole post, VERY IMPORTANT!
https://mn.gov/deed/assets/naics-critical-list_tcm1045-424829.pdf
Automotive Repair and maintenance is included as critical.
We enjoy having relationships with our customers not just business, but for an undetermined amount of time I would ask for a little "social distance," for your and your families protection as well as our and our families protection.
I am asking you to drop your keys in the drop box or set them on the desk and not to be offended as we will be using disinfecting wipes and gloves to pick them up. We will be using wipes on your car on all the surfaces we need to touch that a driver or passenger might touch.
I would also request you pay by credit card by reading the card to us, over the phone if possible.
Please let us know what you would prefer us to do with your receipts, or if you don't need the at all. Your records are on the computer at Expedition and constantly backed up to the cloud. We can get you copies whenever need be. We can scan them and email too, it just takes a little extra time.
To pick up your keys, we would be happy to come and start your car during normal business hours so we can use the gloves and disinfecting wipes on your keys for you too. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and if your issue is not mission critical maybe put it off. My hope is to minimize traffic in the office for the safety of our customers, the employees and their families.
This policy is subject to change at any time.
Thank you for your support and understanding in this difficult time.

Happy 20th anniversary to Expedition Autoworks a day late! Yesterday was spent doing yard work and I did not get a chance to come and get pictures during daylight.
Firstly thank you to Peter Leckband for founding Expedition with me. As you probably know I am can be a little volatile at times and you just took it in stride and were the best business partner a guy could ask for!
I would like to thank my wife Kat for being there to support me in many ways through this adventure! I love you!
I would like to thank my daughter Hannah, Eva and Nora for putting up with all the long hours and weekends at the shop.
I love you ladies!
Thank you to all our customers who choose Expedition as the vehicle service company. I am very thankful for you.
Thank you to all the employees we have had over there years there have been many ups and downs that have been shared. Everyone of you have taught me something.
We have done some renovation this year. Here are some outside pictures to give you a taste.
Thank you for all the support and here is to the bright future.
2006 LR3 Nice truck. Engine has never been opened, valve covers just started leaking. Still rolling on air suspension. Regular maintenance pays in the end.
Thanks Again to Dr. Rik and Dave A. for going and picking up Oxford, the world famous Land Rover Series 1 from the last club in Pennsylvania so that the Minnesota Land Rover club could have it at our annual picnic. Then dropping it off with the next club in Montana tomorrow. It was fun to drive the legend!
Thanks to all who showed up at the shop for the send off today!
Hope you had as good a time as me!
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!
