Ames Auto Repair

My old Volvo 240 broke down in Ames, Iowa while we were on our way back to Missouri from Wisconsin. After a AAA jump start we managed to drive the car to Eastman. I suspected the alternator since our battery had gone down. Larry, the owner and lead mechanic, was willing to work on the car (not every shop will touch an old Volvo). He correctly diagnosed the bad alternator and was able to get one delivered from NAPA. As he was installing it he discovered a broken bracket which he immediately welded back together. We were back on the road in three hours. Larry is a competent, honest person, and fair-minded. If I lived in Ames I would take my car there all the time.

Larry was very attentive to detail and took the time to thoroughly diagnose my car and deal with the warranty company on my behalf. Got the repairs done in a timely fashion and was easy and pleasant to do business with.

Loved it

Awesome service, I forgot to drop the car off early and it was no problem, I called and they accommodated me! Awesome service! Very trustworthy!

Awesome service, I forgot to drop the car off early this time and it was no problem. I called and they accommodated me! Awesome service! Very trustworthy! I always take my VW beetle in and ask them to check certain things and they only do the work if need be. We just had her in for her 100,000 mile check up, went smoothly. I’ve been using them happily for three years now!!! If you need a new auto mechanic don’t pass this place up!!! Larry is the best!!!!

I'm so glad we have this shop in our neighborhood! Local, knowledgable, honest and fast. Larry is the man, and I will be returning for all my auto needs in future.

I took my car here when another service couldn't figure out the problem after a week. Eastman's will take care of you and your vehicle!

Great service! Made time for a same day alignment and got it done quickly.
