Ames Auto Repair

The best of the best, as always.

Excellent service. I like that they did a quick check of the whole vehicle to let me know if there were any other items I should watch for.

Had them disassemble a pair of strut towers that I did not have to tools to do myself. They did it quickly and for a fair price.

Competent, Honest, and Reliable!! When I bought my pontiac a couple years ago, I had the often difficult task of selecting a mechanic in town. I definitely wanted a shop that was trustworthy (who hasn't felt ripped off by a repair-happy auto technician). A friend recommended Campus Garage and I couldn't be happier! The number one reason is the owner, Eric Mathre. Eric works on the American cars and he actually cares about his customers. He always gives me a straight answer about my car and I completely trust his judgement and skills as a mechanic. You can't put a price on piece of mind when it comes to auto repairs and service... Campus Garage is the only place I'll take my pontiac!

This is a great local garage. Very professional.

I've been taking my vehicles to Campus Garage for years. I always get great service and know that what they suggest is valid. They always try to find a reasonable solution to any issue my car is having. I have also gotten their advice on car shopping. They are honest and always very helpful. AND, they never give me crap about my car being a mess!

My first "new" car was a Volkswagen. I loved my VW, but it always needed a lot of expensive repairs. For several years after purchase, I was driving to Des Moines or Mason City to dealerships for repairs because I was told that only dealerships had the proper diagnostic equipment. Well after a recommendation from someone I know I was turned on to Campus Garage. These guys did EXCEPTIONAL work on my Volkswagen at prices much lower than I would have paid at the dealerships.I wish I would have known about the quality repairs that these guys do a lot earlier. I would have saved thousands of dollars and hours of my time. Campus Garage is honest, and works to find ways to save you money. They worked hard to find a refurb transmission that fit my budget for repairs. If you own a European import, don't leave Ames for repairs. Take your car to Campus Garage. They are fast, fair, and honest. There's a reason there are so many cars stacked out in front of their business. Their customers know a good thing.
