“I can’t say enough great things about Budget Garage. This is the only mechanic I trust whenever I’m back in Des Moines visiting family. And that says a lot—because I come from a big Midwestern family, and every single one of us goes here. No exceptions.
The level of honesty, consistency, and quality of work is hard to find these days, but Budget Garage delivers every single time. Whether it’s routine maintenance or something more involved, the work is always done right, fairly priced, and with real integrity behind it.
It’s rare to find a shop that earns this kind of loyalty across an entire family, but they’ve done exactly that. I’ll continue coming back anytime I’m in the area—and I wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else.
If you’re in Des Moines and need a mechanic you can truly trust, this is the place.”

“Cody and Jowell were very helpful in resolving my issues and getting my car scheduled so it could be back on the road asap. Their pricing was very affordable, and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Miguel and his son Mikey are the most honest mechanics I have ever come across. I moved to Des Moines and had car issues a few months after, so I had to find a mechanic. I bounced around from mechanic to mechanic always frustrated feeling like I was getting taken advantage of. I then found Miguel and I will never switch mechanics again. He has helped me with numerous issues, and I know little about cars. He takes time to explain the issue to you and charges you a fair and honest price. Thank you Miguel!”
“Had taken our car to a different shop but the work that ended up needing to be done was outside of their ability. Have known about Scott’s forever and I knew they could solve the issue. Car was diagnosed, Was decided car needed new engine. Pam sent me updated progress notes and advised what was being done. Went to pick up the car, Pam advised us on some future work that should be done and released the car. Car drives 100% better than it did when we purchased it. Very happy and extremely satisfied. Would not hesitate going to Scott’s for future needs.”
“I started coming here nearly 10 years ago when I moved in across the street. At first, I was hesitant to take my car to a corporate chain, but I quickly discovered that they were anything but conventional. Over the years, I've owned several cars, and I refuse to take them anywhere else for service. The location is convenient, it’s easy to schedule appointments, and the prices are always reasonable. I won’t go anywhere else!”
“Most affordable. Quick turnaround. Owner very knowledgeable. They were o. Time and notified me of other issues. Very happy overall and I don't give reviews lightly.”

“I'll be sending everyone i know their way!! Joe was super helpful and honest. Even suggested i go on Amazon for cheaper parts instead of an auto store. They were a life saver and a money saver for sure! And bonus, they have a super sweet/cute pup! ?”
“I had a really great experience with Army Post Auto Care. They took fantastic care of my car and offered a much more reasonable price than any other shop in the area. They were super communicative about what the issue was, and incredibly friendly and helpful. A special shout-out to Tyler, he made everything smooth and easy. Definitely a five-star service!”

“I called them on the phone and ask about rebuilding a part for my SUV. The guy was super nice and although they don't offer that service, he pointed me in the right direction.”
“I took my car in to Sta rite due to a transmission issue, they diagnosed it as a bad valve body. Replaced the transmission with a low mile used transmission. They got me back moving. Thanks for all you guys did for me!!! Much Appreciated!!”
“Eric provides peace of mind!
While remote buying a car from Denver i had Stiver ford look perform a prepurchase inspection they told me the car's manual tranny was rough going into 4th gear.
After calling All Pro Service Center who recommended I called Eric at All Drive. he promptly gave it a test drive and said it was solid. Manual tyranny's can be tricky for those with little experience.
Do yourself a favor and talk with Eric about your transmission needs
Thanks Eric! The car made it back to Colorado splendidly, minus a couple times of me getting used to owning a standard
Cheers”
“Thought I had transmission issues so brought it in for their free diagnostic test. Other places I called were going to charge to run diagnostics. They found that the transmission was needing rebuilt and gave me advice. Never pressured me to use them and I appreciate that. Would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Tom responds quickly to messages. He found what was actually wrong with my car and fixed it right away and at a very reasonable price. I am happy to say I have found my new mechanic.”
“Have had mechanical work done here that was done efficiently and professionally. Also bought a truck from here. Ben was very helpful, kind, and professional. I recommend my family, friends, and everyone to come to Town and Country!”
“I went in for an oil change. I've never used Jiffy Lube before today. The guy who greeted me was friendly. He started the work on my truck after I pulled it into the bay myself. But then he disappeared. I went into the lobby. Which was cold and kind of messy. I saw several employees just standing around. I wasn't there for long . But I do feel like it wasnt very professional. Especially after the girl asked if I wanted to pay my bill. I asked her if they were done and she said yes. I said to her I didnt see anyone put the oil in my truck. The next thing I know is the girl who took my payment is out there putting what I assumed was oil in my truck. Not one of the guys who are dressed for this type of work were there to do it. Just standing around watching as the girl is doing their job. There are atleast 6 guys working there today. I dont think I will go back.”
“These guys always have my oil change done in around 30m with fair prices, way better than Jiffy Lube bs. They've always been honest with me & don't try to upsell. I've even fact checked just to be sure (because I've had issues with mechanics in the past) & everything they say checks out.”
“Nolan was professional, provided great customer service and educated me on option without pressuring me. My oil was changed in no time. I will definitely go back.”
“I had a great experience here with Joe (who I believe is the manager). My car stalled while driving and wouldn't start, so AAA towed it here.
They were initially thinking they'd need to do a diagnostic run and I was prepared to pay for it. But they said the issue was really an oil pressure problem, and an oil change (cheaper than the diagnostic) would fix it.
I really appreciate that they chose not to charge me for something they definitely could've.
The oil change was also less expensive than my normal place, which means I now have a new normal place for my oil changes.”
“great work! and extremely quick. helped me when i was in need urgently. and explained everything efficiently I highly recommend him. We are very grateful for him. Best service I’ve ever received”

“Quick and quality service. Thought they were mostly a transmission place but learned they do much much more. Had a differential, transfer case fluid flush and fuel injection cleaning done. Did the same work that was to be done at the dealer, but at a much more budget-friendly price. Manager was very nice and helpful. Would 100% return and recommend family and friends.”
“The manager Nicole was super friendly. This place is awesome. I didn’t have an appointment but they didn’t have a problem getting me right in. Replaced 2 tires and all my brakes. I got my car back the same day! I highly recommend this place.”
“These guys are awesome. Every time I go to them I am impressed with their depth of knowledge and care for the customer. They will explain the issue and give you options as well as advice to prevent future issues. They aren't pushy with upsells and genuinely want to help you.
I've even gone in a couple of times with minor things like a consistent airing issue on a single tire and they helped me diagnose and air it back up,
when I offered to pay they told me not to worry about it. They really are the best!”
“I wanted to say thank you to Tyler. He got me in for an oil change before this big snow storm even though he was the only one working. On top of him being busy himself. I called 5 locations and they were all booked. He is very much appreciated and very kind.”
