I have been a customer of Scotts for several years. This work was a routine oil change and service and, as usual, the work was done promptly and professionally.I have sent many of my friends and colleagues to Scotts and will continue to do so. Scott and his staff are thorough and fair. I trust their expertise in all of my auto maintenance needs.
Experienced mechanical breakdown of alternator while on a return to Idaho. Needed to be in Mitchell, SD that evening to prevent major delays and problems. The service team was able to diagnose the problem, get the part and install an alternator before closing enabling me to get to Mitchell before eleven o’clock and eventually to Rathdrum, ID. An overnight delay would have meant missing my granddaughter’s and wife’s birthday dinner with family traveling from Tennessee. I cannot overstate my gratitude to the excellent customer service of the caring staff. They are special!!
Im grateful to have found Scotts Automotive when I moved back to Des Moines17 years ago. Wow, its been that long! I recommend Scotts to everyone who asks where I get my truck serviced at. Great communication explaining any work that needs to be done and what can be watched for repairs at a later time. Add in affordable and trustworthy work and friendly people to the mix and you will see why Scotts Automotive is the place to go!
Honest, friendly service. Never make promises they cant keep. Keeps the customer well informed and preforms no work without approval.
They did fantastic work as always. I have come to rely on them for all my automotive needs. They are like family, but better.Michael
Excellent service! Emergency tow, response time very good. Repairs and maintenance taken care of timely dispite their busy schedule. They kept me informed. I am always pleased with their thorough, professional service.
Knowledgeable staff, honest, on time and easy to work with. I’ve been going to Scott’s for years for service and tires. I’ve had 4 different vehicles go through their shop over the years.David W.
We have been using Scotts Automotive since the mid 2000s. He is honest, upfront and does what needs to be done. You dont find that many shops like this. I have sent friends there and he has always beat another shops estimate or indicated some of the work suggested wasnt needed. It is refreshing to have someone you can put your trust in that they will do a good job and charge you a fair price.
AMAZING customer service!!! I have been using Scott’s for all of my cars for over 10 years!! They are easy to work with and repairs are done right in very little time. I refuse to go anywhere else!
They are always friendly and easy to work with. Doesnt take them long to change oil. Bathroom and place in general is always clean and kept up. They have beverages while you are waiting. Ive recommended to family members and would recommend if ppl asked for a good place for service.
Id been without a vehicle for a bit. When Covid hit I lost my car. However prior to my last visit I always took my car to Scotts for service. They were professional and always seemed to have my best interests in mind. I dont mean cutting corners but if they found a way for me to save some money they always let me know. Some shops are in it more for their top dollar rather than the customer but Scotts does not do business that way. Well here it is 2021 and I have a car again. It is a used one and I have a running list of what needs done on it. Scotts was the first shop I called. I had the headlights replaced and also had to replace the key fob. Scotts stepped up to the challenges and I am very happy with their work. I intend to be a customer of theirs for good.
Very good, would recommend them to anyone, reasonable rate for the work performed and done in a timely manner
They repaired our rear arm control among other things on my Santa Fe. They did a great job. Kept in communication with us through it all and great prices! Also backed by AAA! Will continue to come back!
We have taken both of our cars here a few times and they always do a great job!
Only place I will take both mine and my wifes vehicles. Very professional and always up front. I would recommend Scotts Automotive to everyone I know. Thanks again for a awesome job.
I was told by another shop I needed a thousand dollars or more work on my car. I told this to Jason and also told him I had x amount to send because I am on Social Security. He called me within a couple hours and said all I needed was new tires and then called because I had a couple lug nuts stripped. He told me that it would be a little over the price we had talked about. We laughed and joked on every call. My only regret was he wasnt there when I picked up my car. I will make a point to go meet him. He was amazing
GREAT service and they do not try to scam nor upsell you in any way. At normal oil change places (such as Valvoline) you typically get the elaborate speech of them checking everything in front of you and asking if you want to replace it... Scott’s automotive does not do that and only mentions things that actually look like they need repairing to your attention.Overall the staff are very friendly and professional and I would highly recommend anyone going here for all of their car needs!
Always had great service at Scott’s. Always my go to and I can always trust the work is correct and not done half handed.
Wow! They take customer service to a whole new level that has been missing for decades. I Had an issue related to a major repair months down the road.....and they backed it up, making it right, and a courtesy call to boot. Very honest and trustworthy business.......”Highly Recommend”.
Very good people here. They have always given us great service over the years. Would recommend them to anyone needing car repairs
Great job! My car handles like new.
Have been looking for a five star garage for a long time, and finally found it. Thanks Scotts Automotive.
I mean the absolute best car service I have had been in Des Moines!!! No complaints at all and will forever be my go to as long as I am in the Des Moines area💪🏼 Thanks Scott’s
Everyone involved with my repair was very thorough. The problem was explained to me well and fixed well. I will be recommending Scotts to my friends and will be returning for any future repairs.
Always great service! They really look after us!
Scotts Automotive has always preformed great quality work for me and my family for 25 yrs very trustworthy and honest. Thanks to Scott and his team of professionals.
Great place. Jason easy to work with
Great service!!! Was very informative of what needed done and cost.
Great service! Very fast and professional.
Fair prices for great work! Got my oil changed and they did alot of extra stuff for no charge.
I have been to many shops in Iowa, but this one is second to none. Friendly, flexible, thorough and transparent; they even remembered my name. In a world that’s ‘on fire’, it’s nice to have places like Scott’s to remind us decent institutions still exist. Highly recommend this shop!
Very helpful, keep in contact through process with text and calls, friendly, clean......Im new to Iowa but I love this place and Im glad to have found these people!!
I was very pleased with the service and honesty. Very professional
Very friendly and extremely professional! Our car developed engine trouble while passing through Des Moines. I called a few places that couldnt take a look at the vehicle until the next day. Scotts Automotive said they were also very busy, but told us to stop by anyway and they would take a look to see if the issue was serious. Two hours later, we were back on the road! I highly recommend Scotts Automotive for your automobile service needs.
I’ve used Scott’s quite a bit over the years. I never had to take anything back afterwards.
Great customer service, pr
My experience at Scott’s Automotive services was beyond amazing. They related to my problem and they did everything possible to fix my car for half the amount compared to other services. They treated me like I was their own. I will recommend Scott’s automotive services to anyone.
Great service and honest people.
They will work with you, good service
The job got done timely enuf, but otherwise i was made to feel like just another swipe of the card.
Have had great service going to Scotts. I had a problem with my car and Jason explained it to me well enough that I could understand. He also helped me out a lot with dealing with the company I got my car from.
Friendly. Professional. Clean shop. Good people.
I really appreciate Scott’s for their friendly, honest and prompt service! I had gotten a bum part elsewhere. When that company wouldn’t take care of the problem- Scott’s did! I went from upset, not knowing what to do to happy and back on the road. Thank you Scott’s Automotive!
I have been to numerous repair shops. Theyre either rude, clueless or dishonest. At Scotts theyre courteous, honest, and knowledgeable. I leave feeling confident in their work and not feeling ripped off. I am so impressed with this place! I will not take my car anywhere else. They have definitely gained a loyal customer.
I will not take my Car anywhere else but scotts! Took my 2014 Dodge Dart in to get the clutch replaced knowing it would be a tough job as other shops wouldnt even put their hands on it. But no problem for Scotts. Not only did they get it done in less time than expected but the clutch is absolute butter! Very happy with the customer service and communication I was given as well. Thank you all. I will be back!
Scotts Automotive Services is a rare gem in the industry! Their customer service is excellent, their work is always reliable, quick and efficient! And of course, affordable... I never feel like Im being like Im being taken advantage. This is our go-to for auto repairs ♥️.
Once again great service from this shop! They are always friendly and willing to explain until I understand. Their garage is impressively clean AND theyre good at what youre there for! Absolutely recommend them.
I started taking my vehicles to Scotts after my dad recommended them. He had been going there for many years too, even before the place was called Scotts. Ive had nothing but good experiences so far. Ive never felt like I didnt have a handle on what work was being done, and the bottom line was never a shock.No fooling around, no surprise charges, and nothing but good work from these folks. Highly recommended.
Im so thankful that I took my car here. After taking my car to a national repair shop chain and receiving an estimate for over $1300 in repairs, I was referred to Scotts Automotive by a family member. The mechanics performed a thorough inspection of my car and concluded that I didnt even need the other repairs that were recommended by the national chain. In fact, some of the parts that the national chain wanted to replace were fairly new! Scott recommend a course of action that solved my actual problem and I was back on the road for less than $150 - a savings of over $1150! Do what I did. Take your car to Scotts. Its worth a 2nd opinion. They are honest, trustworthy and I can recommend them with confidence.
Brought my F150 into Scotts and they found the problem right away(2 other shops couldnt find the problem) Jason and the guys in the shop went above and beyond to fix the truck and do some others things I wanted done,would HIGHLY recommend them
Use to deliver parts here for NAPA... scott is a good guy who wont do ya wrong
Honest mechanic. Ive yet to see Scott recommend unnecessary service to a car, and when prompted hell occasionally even recommend against it.Another thing I like about Scotts is that all service work is described in prose form on the receipt. It describes the diagnostics performed, the problems found, the troubleshooting efforts attempted, and actions recommended for the future.
Shop is clean and inviting. Staff was friendly and knowledgable. I had a great experience and would recommend this repair shop to everyone.
Very helpful and friendly came in with a low tire light got me back on the road less than 15 minutes and didnt try to upsell me on new tires
Fantastic customer service. One of the best automotive shops in town!
Very professional and friendly staff. The shop is very clean and pleasant. Family ambiance. Coming back for sure!
Great service! Fast and efficient and very reasonable prices! Will be going here if I need work done.
I had my car checked out by a different mechanic, and was quoted almost $6,000 in repairs. I took it to Scotts, and they cut it in over half. Their service is phenomenal, and I left knowing that I was 100% taken care of. Always going to Scotts for future repairs.
Very friendly people, and easy to deal with.I have never seen such a clean auto-shop.prices seemed very reasonable, and the repairs were done on time,and i havent had a problem since.thank you!
They are AMAZING!!!! They work to find a way when it seems impossible for you. Scott and Jason can fix my cars anytime.
Amazing customer service! Id never expected getting greeted by the owner and having him pre wash the car AS we waited for the automatic wash! Im from out of town and will recommend this highly to my in-laws
Whom ever answered the phone was very rude unprofessional
I do a lot of business with these guys. Very clean shop and great customer service! Would recommend any one to them!
Honest, trustworthy and reasonable.
My wife and I take our cars here because we trust them, and they keep our cars well maintained.
Exceptionall customer service!! Always have my vehicle in and out!!
Good experience working with them for a fair price. Thanks Jason.
They are Awsome and very good mechanics.
Scotts automotive is a place we trust to have our vehicles serviced. Especially my wifes car as theyve caught issues before becoming a problem.
I traveled out to Des Moines for work (Im from the Quad Cities) and about 30 minutes from Des Moines, my car started acting up and the lights were dimming. I was able to make it to my place of testing and it was early in the morning, I searched for auto places that could look at my car and found Scotts Automotive near by. I called them and they were very understanding and even had a car service that took me back to my test so they could look my jeep over while I completed the test. They then picked me back up and told me what the problems could be (the problem was coming and going so the computer couldnt pick it up). They were very honest and recharged my battery since the problem seemed to be draining it. They did this all out of kindness and refused to let me pay since they didnt do any mechanic work. Their help was needed at a time of complete stress for me and I was so grateful. They even went above and beyond by giving me the name of a friend in Iowa City who could charge my battery if it got low during the trip back to the Quad Cities. I was blessed to have Scotts Automotive on my trip!
I trust Scotts Automotive. Its nice to have a mechanic you can trust.
Very helpful, reasonably priced and accommodating.
Scotts is the best automotive repair place I have found.
Quick work and friendly service. You cant ask for more
Honest people, great service.
Put shocks on nice job
Go there to look at our vehicles.
Found and fixed a problem the dealership couldnt. Very friendly and really listened to me.
Good service, the only bad thing is the location. Being they are on the blind spot of a hill and there is a median island in the road.
Everything went great
Great service, honest, thorough, and dependable.
Very knowledgeable staff
Above and beyond service!
Thank you Scott, Jason and team
I have been a customer of Scotts for over 8 years, not once have I had a bad experience. Super friendly, personable, professional, very welcoming!
