The shop history page tells that story: Bernard "Bum" Flanery, a self-taught mechanic, decided in 1957 not to re-enlist in the Navy and opened a Mobil Service Station on the triangle of land where Hiawatha and 34th Avenues came together. He ran that first business alone, working 12-18 hour days, 7 days a week. The shop changed locations a couple of times over the next 25 years, always staying in the South Minneapolis neighborhood, and moved to its current location in 1980, by which point it was no longer selling gas and focused on diagnosing engine problems and fixing vehicles. The page names Bum Flanery as founding owner and his sons Tim Flanery and Brian Flanery as the current owners; both have worked in the shop since high school. It says Bum's grandson Nick is a mechanic there, and that a fourth mechanic, Jeff, joined more than 10 years ago. The page states the shop has been recognized by the University of Minnesota Daily, the campus newspaper, as a "Best Place to Get Your Car Fixed"; no year is given for that recognition. No other awards, ratings, review counts or certifications are published on the site. The shop is at 2720 East 42nd Street, Minneapolis, MN 55406, phone 612-722-9829.

The services list published on the site names: major repairs, brakes, steering, suspensions, starters, clutches, alternators, electrical systems, exhaust systems, diagnostics, tune-ups, oil changes, filter changes, lubrication, air conditioning, batteries, belts, hoses, coolant, anti-freeze, mufflers, rear differential service, shocks, struts, new tires, tire rotation, wheel alignments, and transmission fluids and service. The home page also states "24-Hour emergency towing". The services page carries a graphic headed "Domestic and Imported Car Services"; beyond that heading the site does not list individual makes or models, so whether a particular vehicle or a service not named above is handled has to be confirmed by calling the shop. The site publishes no prices, no cost or rate figures, no labour rates, no estimate or quote amounts, and no fees for any of these services. It also gives no turnaround or wait times. Anyone who needs a price, an estimate or a quote should call 612-722-9829 during the published hours; the contact page asks customers to phone rather than e-mail about quotes or scheduling. The site does not describe what any particular symptom, noise or warning light means, and questions of that kind belong with the shop rather than with a description of the website.

The directions page states: "We are conveniently located between Hiawatha Ave. and Cedar Ave. on East 42nd Street on the MTC bus route with close access to the Light Rail." It notes that there is a neighborhood coffee shop/bakery and two restaurants right across the street, and that the shop also offers an "After Hours Key Drop". This address is the only location published; the site shows no second shop, branch or satellite site. The area the shop describes serving is its South Minneapolis neighborhood — the home page says the business has been "Proudly Servicing Our South Minneapolis Neighbors' Vehicles for Over 50 Years" — and the shop history page says customers who move out of the community often keep bringing cars in, "sometimes coming from long distances". Beyond that, the site publishes no list of suburbs, cities or ZIP codes as areas served and no service radius. The site publishes no mobile or on-site repair service; work is done at the East 42nd Street shop. "24-Hour emergency towing" is named on the home page, but no towing radius, coverage area, towing cost or dispatch phone other than the shop number is published. The phone number for the location is 612-722-9829, and open hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Names South and East as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published. Source: http://www.flanerybrosauto.com/Directions.html ## Accreditation and credentials The guarantee page of Flanery Brothers Automotive publishes a single statement: "One year parts and labor warranty, standard." The home page states the same thing as "One year parts and labor warranty standard." That is the whole of the published warranty text. The site does not set out what the warranty covers or excludes, whether there is a mileage limit, whether it is transferable, how a claim is made, or whether any service or part is treated differently. Anything beyond the one-year parts and labor wording has to be confirmed with the shop on 612-722-9829. On price, the site is silent throughout. There are no prices, no price list, no cost figures, no hourly labour rates, no diagnostic or inspection fees, no coupon or discount values, and no example estimates on any page. Customers wanting pricing, a cost, a quote or an estimate are directed by the contact page to phone the shop: it asks that e-mail not be used "to contact us regarding quotes or scheduling" and says "We can serve you best if you call us at the above phone number." The site publishes no ASE certification, no manufacturer authorisation, no AAA approval and no licence or registration number. It does not name accepted payment methods, financing or a shuttle or loaner arrangement. Calls are taken at 612-722-9829, Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Source: http://www.flanerybrosauto.com/Our%20Guarantee.html ## Hours and contact Contact details published by Flanery Brothers Automotive, Inc.: phone 612-722-9829, fax 612-729-5578, address 2720 East 42nd Street, Minneapolis, MN 55406. The phone number is the route the shop asks customers to use. The contact page says: "Please do not use the following e-mail address to contact us regarding quotes or scheduling. We can serve you best if you call us at the above phone number. Thank you!" In practice no e-mail address is displayed on the page, so the phone number is the only working contact channel published, apart from the fax number and the shop address itself. There is no contact form, no online appointment or booking tool, no customer portal, no live chat and no social media link on the site. Calls can be made during the published hours, Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; the site publishes no weekend or after-hours phone coverage, although the directions page notes an "After Hours Key Drop" for leaving a vehicle, and the home page names "24-Hour emergency towing". Anyone asking about a price, a cost, a quote, an estimate, rates or fees, about availability or how soon a repair can be done, or about whether a specific make, model or job can be handled, should be routed to the shop on 612-722-9829, because the website publishes none of that. The hours page of Flanery Brothers Automotive publishes one line: "Monday - Friday: 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m." No Saturday or Sunday hours are published, and the site does not state holiday hours or any closure dates. The way to contact the shop, book work or schedule an appointment is by phone: 612-722-9829. The contact page asks customers not to use e-mail "to contact us regarding quotes or scheduling" and says "We can serve you best if you call us at the above phone number." No e-mail address is actually shown on the contact page, and there is no online booking form, no appointment request form, no live chat and no text or SMS number published anywhere on the site. A fax number, 612-729-5578, is listed on the contact page. The mailing and shop address is Flanery Brothers Automotive, Inc., 2720 East 42nd Street, Minneapolis, MN 55406. The directions page adds that the shop offers an "After Hours Key Drop", so a vehicle can be left outside the published open hours. The site does not say whether appointments are required or whether walk-ins are taken, does not publish how far ahead the schedule is booked, and gives no availability, wait time or turnaround estimate. Those, along with any price, cost or estimate, have to come from the shop on the phone.
