"Thank you for all the great work you have done on my truck. Each time I have brought it in you have been very accommodating, thorough and efficient. I feel the price is very reasonable and the follow up care is unparalleled. It is so nice to find  an auto repair shop and a mechanic you can have complete trust in! You guys went above and beyond the call of duty. Me and my truck appreciate it. Thanks."

To the wonderful people at Hayat Auto Sales and Repair.

I love the car so much!

Special thanks to Kristo Hayat.


Thank You very much!

Thank you very much for the Beetle! It is one of the best deals I've ever had! I love it!

I am a student and I was trying to get my first car. When I first came to Hayat Auto I knew this is the place I want to buy a car. Unlike other dealers, Kristo started to fix some minor things on the car even before I said I wanted to buy! He said he wanted to make sure everything is in excellent condition before he can sell the car to anyone. We became good friends on my first visit! When I decided to buy, Kristo made the deal from his heart and didn't push me. It's been a very happy experience. If you want a reliable car from an honest dealer, this is the place you should go. You'll never be disappointed!

Merchant Ratings Used Car Dealer (five stars dealer)

Dear Sam,

Just wanted you to know how much I appreciated doing business with Hayat Auto Sales.Generally used car dealers have a bad reputation, but you and everyone at Hayat Auto Sales are definitely the exception.

I was very impressed when you went out of your way to get our car repaired. Even though we purchased the vehicle as-is, you covered a repair for us as a goodwill gesture. It was this gesture that made me realize you run an honest, reputable business.

Thanks again,

Dear Mr. Hayat,

As part of our routine review of local advertising, the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and

North Dakota recently "Secret-Shopped" your company based on your recent promotion on your

Website offering pre-owned vehicles.

Our shopper visited your website and then your dealership. The shopper found the vehicles on

the website available and was able to look at the vehicles. The salesman also answered all

questions clearly and provided full information about the different aspects of the vehicles.

We found that you are presenting your products/services fairly and accurately. If we had noticed

any discrepancies or concerns, we would have contacted you immediately for clarification.

Thank you for your commitment to ethical advertising practices as displayed in this ad.

Thanks A Million
"Just wanted to drop a quick note and tell you that I absolutely love my Comarol! When it was delivered, it looked even better than it did in the pictures on the web and I've been driving it and its as solid as can be....NO problems.The car is fantastic. I am extremely impressed at the overall quality of the car. I take pride in showing it off to my friends actually. I will be doing business with you again and recommend you to my friends. Thank you for making this so easy!
. Purchasing my vehicle was a wonderful experience! Your  price, quality and customer service were top of the line. 
I want to thank all of you for how easy it was to buy a car with you.  Minnesota is a bit far to drive, but not too far to make this another consideration down the road for another car purchase in a few years.

Thanks again for the help. And thanks to everyone for making this so easy."

This dealership is great.  Came in because I saw an 06 Honda Accord on craiglist . I spoke to Kristo the owner,  this guy took real good care of me. Just because I was  a women and didn't  know much about cars, he walked me explained how things worked on the car.  Kristo  didn't try to push me around but answered all my questions and accommodated me very professionally.
Once I decided that i wanted the car  Kristo was true to his word and the deal was done.  I am very happy with my car and will do business with him again and strongly recommend them to other used car buyers..

My recent visit to Hayat Auto in St Paul Minnesota. I purchased my Escalade at Hayat Auto after a short search online, and basically I got the best price, and the best handling of the matter was very satisfactory.   Hayat Auto treat people of all backgrounds like they treated me, courtesy honesty and integrity and that brings them in and back to Hayat Auto. Thank you for being a really good place to do business, and a most realiable used Dealer.  You beat the rest!

Thanks again for everything,

My journey with Hayat Auto:

My journey with Hayat Auto began after I had just sold my daily driver as a repairable for $500.00
This was a 97 Ford Escort I was not ready to give up as yet as it had a 40,000 mile motor in a clean 80,000 mile body. I had bought tires for it 1 year ago as well as a new battery,it got great miliage and I liked driving it.
Unfortunately the heater core had broken, it was refusing to run right, and had developed a mysterious electrical draw. Both my son and I are mechanics and the electrical draw had us baffled. We had no where to work on the car and it was to take at least 6 hours to repair the heater core,as the whole dashboard had to be removed to get to it, and there just was no spare money to put into it either. It was sold and that was that.
Now we went on the internet to search for Buy Here/Pay Here car dealers in St Paul. Many showed up on Concord but it just made me think of the old Minneapolis notorius Lake Street lots and I wanted nothing to do with that, we drove by, but all we saw was overpriced junk.
Discouraged, I called Hayat Auto and told them I had $500.00 to put down and I needed a car today, did they have a good inventory and could they put me in a car today. The gentleman I was speaking to said "You come in and speak to the owner Kristo,I'm sure he can do something for you". I looked at my son and said "I've got a good feeling about this place."
I asked where are you ? He began to give me directions, sensing I had litte idea what he was talking about as I was new to St Paul, he said " Let me have you talk to someone who will get you right here" The next person gave us perfect directions to a place we didin't know existed, and we were able to drive right there.
As we entered the establishment we were right away welcomed, and treated with respect, my son and I looked at each other and were immediately impressed.

Kristo wasted no time trying to figure out what he could put us in, and shortly came up with two options a, 2000 Toyota Camry, and a 2001 Hyundai Sonata.
As we were walking out to look at the Toyota, Kristo came to the doorway and said "No look at the Sonata I want to put you in a better car, same money better car, I can see you are a hard working man and I want to help you out"
The Sonata had 92,000 miles on it and he said he got it from the bank, it was a very nice car inside and out with the exception of Hail Damage and minor corner collision, but it drove and felt like a new car.
We decided that would work just fine, he said he would actually need $800.00 down but we will work with you on that, we completed the paperwork and I gave him the $500.00 and we left with the car rather pleased with the whole experience, but this was just the beginning.
A few  miles down the road the car shifted hard into third gear and kicked out a check engine light. My son and I both thought here we go, used car. We figured it was a speed sensor causing it. We called Kristo right away and he said bring the car back tomorrow and we will scan it, maybe we will have to flash the computer.

The next day we scanned it at home and got a code, and then we had Kristo scan it as well, and we both got he same code. We checked the transmission fluid and it smelled burned. Hyundai only allows you to get the general code stored in the computer it does not allow you to communicate with the transmission directly, for that you must bring it to the dealer. Kristo said " No problem we will pay for the scan so we can know what needs to be replaced and maybe we need to put you in a different car" I said I liked the car just fine. He called and made an appointment with Inver Grove Hyundai and we took it right over there. We got the car in right away and in minutes it was confirmed it was the front speed sensor, and the mechanic showed us it's location. When we got back with the information Kristo offered us a choice, You take the car pay for the part and repair it and I will forgive the remaining $300.00 down payment owed, or I will pay for the part and your son can repair it here in my shop, as previously stated I had no other money to work with so we let him buy the part. The Hyundai mechanic did emphasize that Hyundai uses a specific transmission fluid and if it is replaced with something else it will not shift correctly, we also told this to Kristo, He said "Ok maybe I can get it for wholesale, but we get it and your son can change that as well.

Kristo had the part and the transmission fluid the next day, and my son did the repair, it is now shifting correctly.
Kristo also has called twice to see if it was performing properly.

I've bought lot of cars from a myriad of dealers over the years, but I have never been treated with this level of Customer Service, I myself have worked in and trained people in Customer Service for over 20 years this was phenomenal, and I will definitely send him customers.
Thanks Kristo, this could have been extremely uncomfortable.

Hayat Auto Sales and Repair is your local honest and dependable one stop service shop and car dealer. They have over 20 years of combined experience in the automotive service field. They started the business because of the demand for a trust worthy  used car sales.
Service has been the number one priority at Hayat Auto since day one. Sales came in time when they found customers looking for quality used cars at competitive prices. they moved to their current location in summer of 2009 and have been gaining satisfied customers every day.  That’s because they don't have your stereotypical car salesperson waiting to pounce on you when you enter the lot. About the most pressure you might get is a simple greeting if you appear to be interested. They do not believe in high pressure vehicle sales. Hayat Auto believes in repeat customers and that is how they do most of their business. Ask around and someone you know may recommend them or you may know someone looking for a used car I do recommend them strongly give them a try.
