Ames Auto Repair

We couldn’t have been happier with the service we received from Campus Garage! We were in a bad situation with a car window that wouldn’t go up in the extreme cold and snow. They got us in quickly and fixed the problem within a day. We have found our new go to service in Ames. We will definitely be back in the future!

Repair shop nightmares are an old American cliche. Eric at Campus Garage and his team work tirelessly to put this mantra to bed. Super meticulous about finding root cause and not doing any shotgun repairs which waste money and resources, these guys rock. Great work, right first time and very cost effective, I keep my old vehicles happy and my total cost of car ownership low at Campus Garage. Thanks folks!

I've trusted my car to owner Eric and his associates at Campus Garage for more than 30 years. They are outstanding mechanics and wonderfully honest, only doing what is necessary to make my 20-year-old Camry run like new.

Awesome service once again. Always appreciate the thorough look over to find things that may need service down the road.

Consistently great service.

Very friendly staff that worked me in when they were busy and I needed to get fixed to be able to get home. Super fast on the repair and an overall great place!

Fast service; got rid of my tire pressure monitoring system light and repaired a tire along the way. Did it inexpensively. Friendly.

I came in with a vague issue with a lot of potential causes. They looked around, lubed the suspension, and gave me a small laundry list of issues that could be addressed. But instead of pushing costly repairs on me, they prioritized the list according to urgency and said they'd be ready to do the work whenever I was ready to schedule it. I addressed a couple issues myself, and came back for another issue. I expected the job to last a day, but they called at lunch to let me know it was ready. This is actually a big deal. Other garages in Ames haven't called when they say they would, kept my car overnight without following up, and got testy when I checked in. Also, the vague issue seems to be fixed at a cost that's thousands less than what I'd planned. Without question, my next repair will be done at Campus Garage.
