5 Stars Auto Repair Service

Service is great and prices are fair - You get what you pay for and I have been going to Ron for years and find Ron to be the best - Believe me, he doesn't need to jack up his prices to make more money because they are always busy - I will say, he does quality work and does not cut corners and as I said, you get what you pay for.

I have used George White many times for service, and had many problems. I have had to take the car back several times for issues that were not fixed properly the first time. They make mistakes not only in the work but in what they write up about the issues or the service. Unfortunately, I will need to find another place to service my car in the future.

Our son was driving from St Paul to his college in Dallas when he started having car trouble on our Volvo S80. Thankfully, he made it to a hotel in a suburb of Des Moines, IA and started searching for a repair shop with the hope that the car could be fixed the next day. Tuffy in Ankeny was able to fit him in for an appointment, did a very thorough review of the problem, did a lot of troubleshooting and even connected with our mechanic in St Paul to review the recent history of the car. My son said that all the employees in the shop made "a college age kid as comfortable as possible" during his first experience with car trouble on a cross country trip. After several hours in the shop, they fixed the car and my son was on the road again. He finished his 14 hour trip with no other issues. Thanks so much Tuffy! We will be forever thankful. And will use your shop again if we happen to need it as we drive through Des Moines!
