Good honest people with a wealth of knowledge. This is the only place I take my vehicles in need of repair. I recomend anyone needing service / repair to stop in. Great quality at a great price is hard to come by but these guys have it down!

Needed my side mirror replaced, they asked me to bring my car in so it could be ordered, and it would be in mid the next week. Come next Wednesday they haven't called, I have to call and they forgot to order the piece. They say they will look for one. They say they will call back but did not, when I called them they said they couldn't find the right color. I said go ahead and order black. It's now the following week and these clowns still haven't ordered the part. What should have been a quick fix is turning into a nightmare.

The Garage is very Curtious, and has a Profesional Staff, They try to get quickly to a Customer's vehical's Complaint. They are A.S.E. Tech.'s trained, along with year's of experience, when you add each employee's time in Auto repairment's, each of the many year's of experience put together with, the rest of the Staff's experience's is Comendble. I truly believe that the, Garage Staffer's really put their best foot out front to get the problem diagnosed, quickly, and the Customers back onto their way so they can, live their lives un-detured with delays. Little Ricky Nelson, had written a song that covers, just these people s ENTITLEMENTS, they never really owned LMFAO !

Brought my 2007 Mercury mariner to this shop! They were nice and professional! I needed my engine replaced and they got it done by the end of the week! The car drives like it’s new, no more shaking and loud engine noise! Thanks I recommend this shop!

Very pleasant and I truly trust them with my car. Now I have a shop that I can trust my new car with and they know what to do to fix any problems you might have and that's comforting

I took my car into these guys for an alternator replacement and they said I needed a serpentine belt. After my car was returned, I'm noticing the my temp gauge is moving from 1/4 to half gauge while driving. The Garage told me this was normal. I've never driven a car and the gauge fluctuate while driving. Now I can bring in my car for a diagnostic charge. No thank you.

The guys at the garage are always very straight with me and things going on with my cars. My suv was making an odd noise on a snowy day, I called the garage and told them. They had me stop by right away and took a look and took it for a drive. They made sure it was safe to drive until I got it in a few days later. I have taken both of my cars in for various issues as well.as oil changes. The prices are reasonable and they tell me major issues or if it needs done at some point, but can wait. As a woman I appreciate the honesty and information shared each time i go in. They take the time to really explain what is going on. They know what they are doing.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would, and if you’ve not visited them for your mechanical needs you’re missing out. Scott makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in, and like a friend you’ve known for years. I’ve always received top notch service at a very reasonable price. On top of all that, repairs are done within a day and that’s means a lot when you depend on your car so much. I urge you to give them a shot to earn your business, you won’t be disappointed.

The Garage did a great job on my new brakes and fixing my wheel bearing. They came in quite a bit under a chain place which was way over priced and unreliable. I will bring my vehicle back here for future service.

These guys are good people. And they have a good sense of humor and at the same time they try to save me money when they work on my vehicles.

Went into the shop this morning to get my car looked at after being referred by one of the employees Nate. I was originally quoted a very high price by a car dealership shop and was looking for a second opinion. Nate and the owner both looked at my car and within a few minutes had my car looked at and diagnosed. Turned out the other shop was wrong on the diagnostic and I just needed a new tire put on instead of bearings like I was told originally. Two new tires later my car is much quieter and easier to drive thanks to these two! I will definitely be going here for now on instead of the dealership. Much better service and wayyyy cheaper than anyone else.

I’ve been going to The Garage since I moved to Des Moines four years ago and I’ll keep going back. They’ve always treated me well, quoted me fair prices, and have always done a good job servicing my vehicles. Would definitely recommend!

I had never been to The Garage before, despite living on the South side for years. I was attempting to change my own oil on my Trailblazer and sure enough the filter is seized in place. Popped my head in to ask if there was anything they could do to help, and I was absolutely floored with the polite and professional service I received. They were able to see me immediately (which will definitely change with service this incredible) and had me in and out of there in about half an hour. And that's including fixing a few other minor issues they found at no extra cost! If you need any automotive work done definitely stop by and see them. The entire staff was wonderful! --- Update: A year later and the service I get at The Garage is still the best in the city. Scott and his team are absolute legends in the business. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. --- Update: They're still the best to this day! Scott and James are wonderful to work with.

Took my car here twice since my dealership wanted me too since they installed the power steering pump. They kept telling me there was no leak even though i was putting fluid in when i drove and had puddles under my car, I had to tell them where one leak was so it could be fixed, for the second leak they couldn't figure it out saying it wasn't leaking so I took it somewhere else to be determined a wrong line was installed. This garage doesn't listen to its customers or care too.

I'm from out of state. While taking my granddaughter to the airport, we noticed an odd sound coming from the rear. When we inspected the wheel, we found that all the lugs were loose and 1 was gone. When we tried to tighten them, another stud stripped off. We found the garage online and I limped to it. Upon examining the problem, they immediately looked for parts and got me in. They told me it would take about an hour and apologized profusely. If I lived in this area, this would be my go to for automotive repair. They're very conscientious, courteous and affordable. Thank you so much guys!

Super helpful and quick to get me in. Quoted me less than half what CB Automotive quoted me for the same quality. Will continue to take my vehicles here.

These guys always have my oil change done in around 30m with fair prices, way better than Jiffy Lube bs. They've always been honest with me & don't try to upsell. I've even fact checked just to be sure (because I've had issues with mechanics in the past) & everything they say checks out.
