Called an left a message and they never returned my call, disappointed because I heard they do excellent work and have great prices!

They were great. Kept me informed throughout the process of trying to pinpoint the problem and were honest on the options to fix it.

Best mechanics in iowa!

I highly recommend Livingstons they are very through, they do an awesome job !

Super nice owner and honest!

Very responsive, communication with staff is ongoing while the damage/assessment is resolved/performed.

Very reliable services! Denny is great at making sure you fully understand what the problem is with your vehicle. He gives great examples. VERY reasonable prices. I only take my car here now, even though its across town for me its 100% worth it.

Livingstons is a family-owned shopwhere you can trust the opinion they give. They are reliable, truthful, knowledgeable, and all-around fantastic people. Weve been coming here for years and I will continue going there for many, many more years to come. If you want your car to be well taken care of and thoughtfully assessed, Livingstons is the place for you. I recommend them to anyone I meet because when it comes to my car, I only trust the best.

We take all our fleet and personal vehicles to Livingstons Auto. Excellent service and honest.

We have brought our car here for serious repairs twice now, and both times I have had excellent service done in a timely manner with way better than average prices. I brought my car in mid-day on a busy Friday and he told us he probably wouldnt get to it before the end of the day, which I was completely okay with, but he managed to finish my vehicle before the end of the day with several serous repairs. I would highly recommend, you wont get the same service or prices anywhere. Its hard to find such a straight forward mechanic. I wont ever go anywhere else now.

They are amazing mechanics

Have been coming here for years. Always fast, courteous and straight to the point, I feel them to be very trustworthy and honest. Dennis Livingston is a great mechanic and kind person.Theres a reason thier lot is always full.

Been doing business with Dennis Livingston for 15 years. Trust him with all my vehicles.

Quick work and fair prices

Have been taking my cars here for years. Always fair and polite. Wont cheat you. If he does the work, it is done right and not just says the work is done. Has polite staff and fair prices. Ive had oil changes to major repairs done. When he retires, Ill have to stop driving, since I wont want anyone else to work on my cars.

Polite, personable and effective.

I was experiencing a battery drain while my truck was off. I was able to find the problem and remove the fuse but didnt feel comfortable trying to go on from there. Luckily I didnt because problem was a bit more complicated. I called and set up an appointment, dropped off my car and staff was incredibly nice and helpful. They called me once I was off work to inform me of the problem and what it would take to fix and how much. He then asked if I needed my truck back right away. I said yes because I was going out of town that weekend. He said, okay, we will get it done tonight then. Not even 2 hours later I was picking up my car and at a good price. They walked me through what was wrong and how they fixed it. Couldnt be happier with how it went and I will be back with future repairs when needed and will definitely will/would refer them to anybody.

Fixed my car right after another shop didnt do a very good job. Runs like a top now. Good job guys!

I have been going to Livingston Automotive for 17 years plus. Dennis, Stan, and the rest of the men at Livingstons are the best and most honest group of people you will ever meet! I have called them with car problems and they get me in right away. Being a woman, it is hard to find mechanics that will be honest with you and treat you with the utmost respect. I HIGHLY recommend Livingstons. You will not be disappointed.

Their customer service is better than anywhere else Ive gone. They took time to explain their process and diagnosis in a way that I could understand. I would definitely go back there if I need to.

Dennis quoted me a fair price on a timing belt/water pump service for our familys van. He found two other belts and an engine mount needing replaced. The quote was dead on outside of the additional parts. No additional labor for these as they were removed for the timing belt/water pump service. Have been using a well known and well awarded small shop in town for years, but have been looking for a shop closer to home. Livingstons was recommended by friends. We will be going back!

Great experience. Like that they showed me the bad part they replaced and explained to me what happened to it. Highly recommend them!

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I took my 97 year old grandfathers vehicle here after he had taken it a couple other places that offered cheap prices and never performed the work they said they would do actually the vehicle was worse. Livingston fixed it right the first time and even took the time to show me the old parts. I would highly recommend this place.

I have been a faithful customer to Livingston Automotive since 1991. Have always found them fair and honest and helpful. Would recommend them to anyone.

My boyfriend recommended this place and I would recommend this place to anyone as well. I took my vehicle in to get one thing fixed and they instantly let me know of other things going wrong that could be fixed to make my vehicle 100%. Now thats a company you can trust

Southside staple for quality work. Always busy so make sure to call and get an appointment. They stand by what they do and the premium products they put into your vehicle. A true no bull business who wont sell you anything you dont need.

Super easy to work with. Only fix what needs fixing. Busy place. Theres a good reason

They always seem to be the cheapest mechanic in town, but their work always holds up. I trust these guys with all my cars and will continue to go here for all my needs. They are ALWAYS busy with a full lot of cars but they ALWAYS have quick turnaround. Its a wonderful business and I hope they never change.

Nice friendly staff, explanations on repairs and price quotes, will be back

I cannot say enough about Livingstons customer service. I arrived at Des Moines airport after a red-eye from San Francisco to discover that there was something terribly wrong with my car...and I had a two-hour drive ahead of me. My insurance company called a tow truck and suggested I get towed to Livingstons (not living in Des Moines, I had no idea where to go). Dennis Livingston told me he was short a couple of guys, but that they would take a look and do their best.Well, their best was fantastic! These guys figured out what was wrong, explained my options, found the necessary part in town, had it delivered on the double, and had me out of there in just a couple of hours. They were friendly and concerned, and completely professional. They prioritized my repair because I was clearly in a jam. Yes, they have lots of diplomas and awards on their walls, so Im sure they are super mechanics. But the fact that they were willing to bail me out, and be extremely nice about it is what makes me wish they were in my hometown, so I could take all of my business to them.Huge thanks to Dennis and Keith! I highly recommend Livingstons!

Honest. Yes, an honest repair shop. They know their stuff, price fairly, and never try to sell you something you dont need.

Great locally owned trustworthy neighborhood repair shop. I worked in the automotive industry for over 30 years and I know good customer service when I see it.

Best place to go get car looked at. Andrew is the best!

Denny has a great crew that has fixed all issues that I have brought to them.

Pricey, but good service!

Best in Des Moines. Service is great and honest. Will tell you what needs to be done now and what can wait.

I firmly believe that this is the most honest shop in Des Moines. You never question the quality of the work either. The only hard part is getting an appointment! These guys are always busy for a variety of good reasons. I bring them everything now, even after moving to Waukee.

We have been going here for years and they have taken great care of our vehicles

Quality workmanship by great people. ☮

Hard to find an affodable repair shop anymore, I dropped my car off not expecting it to be even looked at for a few days, but they asked if I needed it fixed that day. I was very surprised that they would get me in so quickly if I needed it. This time I didnt need the vehicle back right away so a few days later my car was fixed with a much smaller bill then I was expecting, great business!

As me and fam were about 1 hr into an 7 hr drive to Kansas, our truck started making an alarming noise coming from a timer belt. We called ahead, went in, and got the belt and its spinner replaced within the hour. All nice and honest workers!! Ordered parts on the dot and they identified the problem with effiency and accuracy.

Im a regular customer. Will not take my cars anywhere else. Very trustworthy.

I take all my vehicles to Livingstons Automotive. They are honest and fair most of all they fix your vehicles. These are my goto guys.

These guys are the best in this field.

Ive been taking my cars to them for maintenance and repairs when needed for 30 years. They are honest, respectful and fair-priced.

Give them a chance to impress you

Great service & quality. Went above & beyond expectation.
