They were amazing!!!!!!!!I have a car that likes to brake down alot and they helped me so so much. I could never express in words how grateful I am. If they didnt go above and beyond for me I would never have been able to take my kids to school

Im a motorcycle mechanic by trade, so hate working on my personal cars after working on others bikes all day. I was glad to finally find an auto shop that I could trust to work on my stuff. They do good work, in a timely manner, and is fairly priced, and you can actually talk to the guy thats working on your car! Thanks!

The most honest mechanic shop in the metro. Also, they are not scared of working on Volkswagen when most shops are clueless or out right refuse to work on them. They are very fair in pricing, especially considering VW parts do not come cheap. Bring your car here, you wont regret it. I just moved to Colorado Springs and Ill really miss having Iowa Auto as my mechanic/s Thanks for all the great service.

I would highly highly recommend Chris and Iowa Auto Repair to anyone and everyone! Excellent service and did the job right. For a whole lot less than I ever expected. Chris was very polite and told me exactly what was needed to get my Jeep up and running. They have a new customer for life!

I had my best experience ever at an auto shop! I had a lot of emergency lights come on and they took me right away when I called, put in a new alternator and had my car back to me by the end of the work day! They were awesome about giving me punctual updates during the day, super quick and were very good about explaining everything to me along the way. They also went over everything again with me at the end. This is my go-to shop now!

Honest and very reasonable. Chris is a class act all around. Hard to find a trustworthy mechanic in a large city (metro) when you are new to town and these guys know whats important, how to treat people and do amazing work. I appreciate their honesty in telling you how it is, good or bad, they will tell you honestly and without question. Best auto shop in Iowa, hands down.

I was really impressed by their honesty and work ethic. I had my old car repaired there 1.5 years ago. This was mainly to replace the water pump. After a while, I discovered that the coolant disappeared. I only took it back a few weeks ago, well outside the warranty period, but they nevertheless spent almost an hour troubleshooting. The outcome was that no leak could be found. It might be that the leak occurs through the head gasket and the coolant is then vaporized and lost through the exhaust. Surprisingly, no charge, the owner took it on him to try resolve a problem that could, potentially have been caused there, but that was not the case.However, since they inspected their work, the leak has stopped and the water pump is functioning perfectly.

Ive been using Iowa Auto Repair as my mechanic for 15 years.... Consistently the most honest, fair and accurate advice possible.I made the mistake of taking my car to another mechanic for a short time... Nothing but terrible experiences... recommending to repair things that didnt need repaired.Im glad to be back to the good guys!If you need your car/truck looked at, look no further. You can trust this shop. Theyre amazing.

It is always hard to find a good and honest place to bring your vehicle and this place has been great. They have been straightforward and honest when it comes to problems and haven’t pushed unnecessary fixes on me.The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 Star was that the oil changes are way more than you get with a coupon somewhere else but other than that this is the place to go when you need more done on your car than a routine oil change.

Great service! Chris and the entire staff at IA Auto know their stuff and did a great job installing a new master cylinder and wiring for my boat trailer. The cost was less than the other quotes that I got and they got it done quick.Best experience I have ever had at an auto repair shop.

Took my car in for a window issue. Not a lot of communication up front on the cost side of things. Called with an estimate and decided not to put that much $ into it due to selling the car anyway. Went to pick it up and was charged $70 for half an hour of diagnostic testing. I understand there is a cost to things but $70 to pop my door off and tell me the window regulator is broken is absolutely ridiculous. Will take my business elsewhere.

My wifes done business with them for many years (save when we had moved for a while and recently when they had a lot of business and we needed a repair quickly), and theyve always treated us well. I unhesitatingly recommend them.

I have been taking my cars to Iowa Auto for over 15 years and will not go anywhere else! They are honest, reasonable and a pleasure to work with. I always know that they will only do the work my car needs and they will never tell me my car needs something done unless it really does. I highly recommend Iowa Auto Repair!!!

Kudos to this place. Friendly, personable and knowledgeable. They act like they want your business which is sometimes hard to find.My experience with this shop... The AC in my daughters car was out. Took it to the local guy for a recharge, didnt fix it - took it back and they werent able to get it working. Mysterious problem with different temps on different sides, no leaks, etc. Local guy gave up - suggested a dealer. Took it to the dealer and they said they would have to replace every part of the system for a total of $3800 (the Honda is worth maybe $6000). Buddy at work suggested these guys, so I gave them a call. They said they could give it a look on Thursday next week so I took it in. I got a call Thursday - AC fixed for less than $620 - $3200 less than the dealers estimate (the dealer even charged $150 for the estimate).

Most honest mechanic Ive ever used.Im a car enthusiast and i do alot of my own work, so only big jobs go to them but they do the work well and at a more fair price then most. I know my stuff and can easily see through the typical shop run around and bs you can get elsewhere. The secret is out about this place tho so book ahead!
