I returned an air compressor (purchased online-still under warranty) due to a small leak. The mechanic at the Minnetonka store looked at it right away and was able to make a repair........as I waited! The mechanic and all other staff were super friendly and helpful. I did not have to make a return trip. Thank you!!
