Stay Away From TH Auto Body in Two Harbors — Worst Experience I’ve Had With a Shop

I should’ve listened when a local friend warned me about this place, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Big mistake.

We brought in our 2023 Toyota 4Runner to have the lower front bumper repaired after it rubbed the garage, and to fix a paint chip on the driver’s door. My wife dropped it off, clearly told them BOTH repairs were to be done, and they gave us a quote. We accepted and dropped the vehicle off on a Sunday. They had it until Thursday.

When we picked it up, the bumper repair looked fine — but the door? It hadn’t been touched. Not even attempted. It looked exactly the same as when we dropped it off.

I asked the woman at the front desk what happened, and first she claimed the tech “forgot.” Then she changed her story and said they would’ve had to repaint the entire door to fix it. Really? I’ve been in the automotive industry for years — I know exactly how that repair is done. We brought it in expecting that work to be completed and were quoted accordingly.

She never apologized. She never offered to correct the mistake. She didn’t say they’d take care of it — just excuses and attitude. The vibe was either they forgot and didn’t want to admit it, or they decided they weren’t going to do the repair unless I paid more. Either way, it was complete garbage customer service.

We overpaid for half a job and now have to bring the 4Runner somewhere else to get the door fixed — the main thing we asked them to do!

Save yourself the frustration, runaround, and wasted money. TH Auto Body is unprofessional, dishonest, and clearly has no interest in doing what they’re paid to do. I will never go back, and anyone considering this shop should seriously look elsewhere.

The new triple-pane windows are almost here! Once they're installed, the house will really start coming together. With the ceiling, walls, wood-burning stove, mini split, and in-floor heating, it's going to be pretty darn nice. Tag someone who's renovating!

The house is getting a major upgrade! It will have new windows, a sliding glass door to a deck, and a wood-burning stove. The plumbing and electrical work will be finished soon, followed by spray foam insulation and the installation of ceilings, walls, and flooring.

After borrowing a sister's camper for basic amenities, this person set up a makeshift apartment in their garage. The property spans acres, backing onto the Superior Hiking Trail, offering an escape into nature. Have you ever considered off-grid living?

An owner thought they were skilled at spotting issues, but a house renovation uncovered hidden problems behind walls. As demolition grew, they realized the extent of the work. Winter is coming, and they're racing to finish before it gets here. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a home project?

The speaker's new house turned into a much larger project than anticipated, consuming their mental energy. They decided to bring everyone along to show the progress and what they've been up to. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a home project?

Craving a rainy day escape, he drove to Grand Marais, Minnesota. First stop: The Fisherman's Daughter for fresh whitefish. Then, a run around town and a treat at World's Best Donuts. A perfect getaway!

Someone who watched the video before hiked Eagle Mountain, Minnesota's highest point, a couple of months ago. It was an amazing hike that they highly recommend. They say it's their all-time favorite city in the state. Have you been there before?

After getting a & #39;25 Land Cruiser, this person shares why they love it so far. They found the ride to be a lot nicer than trucks or sporty cars with heavier-duty suspensions. It's safe to say that they're really enjoying it.

The marina is looking beautiful today. The water is so still and calm, it's a perfect day to be out on the water. A great spot to relax and enjoy nature.

It's great that the Superior Hiking Trail is walking only because on other Duluth area trails, hikers share the path with fast-moving mountain bikes. While bikers are respectful, not sharing the trail is a nice change of pace. Have you ever had a close call on a shared trail?

The higher one climbs, the more scenic the hiking trail becomes. Evidence of logging raises questions about how trucks accessed the area, though overgrown roads suggest a past route. The transformation of the landscape offers a unique perspective.
