The Crookston Area Chamber Ambassadors gathered to recognize, honor, and congratulate a thriving Crookston, NT, Auto Repair, and Exhaust business.
Noah Thompson, the owner, recalls the days when he first started at the bottom of a totem pole at a tire shop in Grand Forks. He started his career working in an environment with great people who allowed him to work his way up the ranks. Noah received invaluable training and education, which was offered right there on the job. Fast forward a few years, and he finds himself in the old Mike’s Muffler at 525 Strander Avenue in Crookston. When asked if there was a connection between him and Mike, Noah declined but said that he wishes he would have known him ten years ago, “he’s a great guy!” Noah took over the location back in March of 2023 and works side by side with his brother, Luke, which he enjoys. When asked what his favorite things to work on, Noah replied, “Custom exhaust is fun. I like to see people happy with the customization I built for them. I also like working on classic cars as they are easier. I work on everything from dirt old to brand new.”
Noah Thompson Auto Repair and Exhaust is open Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Customers are asked to call for appointments at 218-277-0070 or 218-281-7266.
