Ames Auto Repair

I always feel like Eric and his team are honest about the repairs that need to be done, that there prices are fair and the work performed is reliable.

I recently moved to Ames for work. Campus Garage is certified to work on VW's & mine needed the 10,000 mile oil change & inspection. I set the appointment on their web page & it all went smoothly from there. Professional, polite & expert service was what I received from the great guys at the garage. Highly will recommend them.

I'll start with my conclusion... I'm sure they are not the cheapest place around for some jobs, but I'm happy paying a fair price for quality work. Campus Garage seems a gold standard in this respect. I intend to use them for future major repairs and maintenance. My experience... I had Campus Garage work on my 2011 Hyundai Sonata a couple of times this year. Both times, I was impressed with how straightforward and competent they were. Each time, they precisely diagnosed my issues within a few hours, and clearly communicated details to me along with a repair plan. No pressure was given for followup with them, nor "extra" repairs or services. While the repairs weren't cheap - ~$2000 in total - I don't feel like they ripped me off. I certainly feel like the quality of their work was top notch. Equally impressive is their organization. They seem on top of things, despite having a rather full parking lot of vehicles to work on. (That's probably a good testament to their work!) Never did I feel like they were overwhelmed or distracted by other work when they were engaging me. Also, they always seemed to have done their part researching my vehicle and its particular problems - much more than I've experienced with other general garages. All in all, if you're looking for a competent garage/mechanic that doesn't pull punches nor over-inflate their worth, I think you'll be happy with Campus Garage.

You guys are always fast workers and easy to communicate with. I’m very thankful to have you guys located here in Ames.

Great job refilling the freon as my AC was not working.

Excellent professional service.

I've been taking my vehicles to Campus Garage for 20 years, great service and very professional and knowledgeable!

Eric is honest and knowledgeable!

Excellent service

Before going to Campus Garage I tried two other repair shops. Both said they fixed the problem. Neither did. Campus Garage not only found the problem they also found the mistakes the other two shops had made in trying to fix it. Campus Garage got us up and running in no time. I couldn’t be happier!
