Family-owned auto repair shop serving Crookston with honesty, quality work, and passion for vehicles since 2023
NT Auto Repair & Exhaust is owned and operated by Noah Thompson, who purchased the shop in March 2023 after outgrowing his original single-bay operation in Fairfax, MN.
Now located at the former Mike's Muffler Stop on Strander Ave, Noah works alongside his brother Luke to serve Crookston drivers with the same values that built their reputation:
Noah is especially passionate about custom exhaust work and classic cars, but services vehicles of all makes, models, and ages.
Passionate about vehicles and committed to honest service
Owner & Lead Technician
Noah's journey in auto repair began with a single-bay operation in Fairfax, MN. His dedication to quality work and honest service quickly outgrew that space, leading to the purchase of the current location in March 2023.
Working alongside his brother Luke, Noah has built NT Auto Repair into a trusted name in Crookston. His hands-on approach means he's not just the owner — he's in the shop every day, working on vehicles and talking directly with customers.
"I love working on classic cars and building custom exhaust systems. There's something special about taking a customer's vision and bringing it to life — whether it's restoring a vintage truck or creating the perfect exhaust note."
What sets Noah apart is his commitment to transparency. He takes the time to explain what's wrong, what can wait, and what actually needs attention — in plain English, without the technical jargon or pressure tactics you might find elsewhere.
