Why us
A straight quote, then the repair.
Price before any work
You hear the number before a part comes off the door. If you decline the repair, you are not surprised by a bill for work you did not approve.
Labor warranty on repairs
1-year labor warranty on every repair; parts carry the manufacturer's warranty.
Twin Cities first
Mars is starting in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. City pages are ready for other markets later. Right now the truck is for Twin Cities homes.
Same-day when it is real
Same-day happens when the part is on the truck and a tech is available. Mars will not invent a response-time promise to win the call.

Reviews
What customers say
Mars is new to the Twin Cities. Reviews will show here as jobs are completed.
Hi, I'm Mars
Owner-run, and new here.
Mars is the name on the work and the voice on this site. The business is owner-run and focused on Twin Cities houses, not a national call center with a local landing page. There is no stack of awards, badges, or review scores to show, because none are on file yet.
When a job is finished and a customer actually says something, it will show in the reviews section. Photos will show in the gallery only after they come from a real job. Until then, the useful thing on this page is the price table and the request form.
