Ames Auto Repair

Always fast and courteous. I am impressed with Campus Garage and will use them anytime I need service on my mini cooper!

My 2006 Audi A3 Turbo was experiencing periodic misfires. Nothing dramatic, but something was amiss. Eric Mathre and Charlie Brown were very knowledgeable and experienced with the issues I was dealing with my 2006 Audi A3 Turbo. They ordered the required parts, and the problem was fixed in no time. No more misfires. My Audi A3 purrs like a kitten. Thanks guys!

Very personal, prompt, and professional. They keep you updated, and make no unnecessary repairs.

The staff were friendly and flexible with me in terms of scheduling. I really appreciated that and the communication was very good. Would recommend to anyone in Ames who is in need of car repairs.

My experience in having my ML430 serviced by CAMPUS GARAGE has been OUTSTANDING. ERIC along with CHARLIE and the 'crew' who work at CAMPUS GARAGE are extremely cordial, great listeners, action proven, and have correctly diagnosed/resolved the mechanical problems. Additionally, Eric and his team have gone 'above and beyond' to ensure my vehicle is cared for and delivered when I have not been able to retrieve the car due to my residence being out of state. So appreciate their great CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Great service highly recommended!

Our favorite car repair place ever. Willing to explain the problems to you, give you advice on when something needs to be repaired. Willing to help with small, last minute things.

My 2008 Toyota Rav4 engine was damaged beyond repair because of a missing engine oil filter (long story). Took it to Campus Car Garage and they checked it for free and told me that I needed a new engine. Gave me a couple of options (either an used engine from a salvage yard or a Jasper remanufactured engine which came with a 3-year, 100K miles warranty). We chose the latter and the engine cost $4800 and labour was $2766.50 before taxes. There were a few additional parts which made the total $8837.84, which was just below the $9000 estimate they had given me. I am not sure whether I made the right decision (to repair the car as opposed to ditching it and get something else) for myself but I didn't feel any pressure from the folks and they gave me all the time to decide. Their advise was that ideas worth repairing and our family was leaning that way too. All in all, very professional folks (led by the owner Eric and manager Charlie) and willing to answer your questions. I didn't know but they do oil changes too and will get my Toyota oil changes here in the future. (We have a newer Subaru under warranty and we take that to the dealer, but my wife used to take the Rav to JiffyLube.) Have driven the car about 1000 miles post-repair and have no complaints so far. Let's hope it stays that way! :)

Excellent Service. Eric and the crew know what they are doing and are honest with quotes and pricing.

I wondered whether my clouded/scratched headlamp lenses could be fixed. Eric examined them and told me straight, advising me not to fix them because they might age out and need replacing soon anyway in a couple years. I appreciate honest non-salesy advice.
