“Took my car to this place on a Friday afternoon . It was not shifting correctly . They verified on Monday super early that my ignition coil and spark plugs were bad. I replaced them after that and found proper operation of my vehicle . They even cleared my codes after I was done because I didn’t have an obd reader . Amazing service and respectful of my intentions to repair myself . Patrick was awesome and so was the mechanic/technician .Services: Tires”

“I have to say this man that owns this shop, is very honest and understanding and knows exactly what he is doing. I was stranded in Des Moines today and called probably 15 people and places trying to get help because my car wouldn’t start. He said get it towed here. This man took time out of his hard, hot day and diagnosed the problem with my car and got it started to get me back home 3 hours away. I was hopeless and had no idea what I was going to do. Great customer service! Very knowledgeable and efficient. Definitely recommend for all your auto needs!!!!Thanks again to handy helpers! Appreciate your help today!!!”

“Listen. Car repairs are the worst. There's no way to sugar coat that. If you have to suffer through it though, you should go to Scott's. They're incredibly patient, reasonably priced, kind (because lets be honest, car repairs are stressful), they do a top notch job of getting you back on the road as quickly as possible, they're straightforward about what needs to be done...obviously I could go on and on but I think you get the idea and I hope you take your car to them next time something has to be done.”

“Moen Automotive and Performance exceeded my expectations with their exceptional service. Despite my initial attempt to repair the head gasket on my 2012 Genesis Coupe, they skillfully performed a full engine swap, overcoming the challenges I introduced by misplacing various components. The turnaround time of just 4 days was impressive, and I've encountered no issues since. When I later sought a coilover upgrade, they swiftly accommodated my request on the same day. Honest pricing, efficient service, and a commitment to customer satisfaction make Moen Automotive my go-to for automotive needs – I'll continue entrusting them with my car.”

“Very respectful, honest people. Went in for a leak, which originally was diagnosed as a bad gasket. They found it was more and were able to fix it all that same day! Paid exactly what I was quoted. Drive home and my truck feels brand new! If I could give more stars, I would!”

“Pur my truck up on the lift so I could freely examine it on my own. And even assisted me with light and a compressor. They quoted me a price for some shock installation. And was fair. I had day off so I managed doing it myself. But would have been So much easier to have let them. The have the facilities. They didn't charge me at all for their time or anything.”

“I've taken my car to Silzer over a dozen times. I never feel taken advantage of, I feel like their prices are more than fair, and they've thrown me favors here and there (like replacing my rusted license plate for free). I really appreciate these guys. And hearing the Moana soundtrack from the garage always cracks me up.”

“Great service. Got in and out in 50 minutes, oil change and tire rotation. A little pricey for tire rotation at $35 but when you don't have your own equipment you pay for it! Will go back for sure”

“These guys know their stuff! I needed two wheel bearings replaced and they got it done for me for $200 LESS than any other shop! Get your car repaired with confidence, and ask for Kurt, tell him Matt sent ya! ( It won't get you any discount, it's just fun for me! Lol )”

“Seemed honest enough. My long time mechanic recommended them, as he doesn’t do transmissions. They clearly do a helluva business, as evidenced by number of cars in parking lot…barely a place to park. The prices flying out the door were eye-catching. I overheard $6000 for an older minivan!The only problem I had, was not being told there would be a $77 diagnostic fee AFTER THE FACT. I understand time is money & would have had it done anyway, but would have been nice to know. The cost to repair was ridiculously high for an 18 year old car & decided to trade it in.”

“The Garage did a great job on my new brakes and fixing my wheel bearing. They came in quite a bit under a chain place which was way over priced and unreliable. I will bring my vehicle back here for future service.”

“Tim is an honest guy doing good work for a fair price and that's all there is to it. I brought in my 2018 Ford Escape after the dealership quoted me an insanely high price for a transmission replacement. Chuck and Larry's was able to get me in within a couple of days. I ended up needing a rebuild, which really sucked for a 5 year old car i had only bought 6 months prior. Tim was super patient answering my questions and was up front about the cost (which was a little over half what the dealership quoted me). There were some complications with the rebuild and it took longer than expected, and i felt a lot of peace of mind knowing it was getting done right. Tim found some other problems aside from the transmission issues (ugh!) and gave me good advice on how to triage. The thing I think I appreciated the most was the compassion. Coming off a horrible experience trying to get Ford to help me out, it was nice to work with someone who actually seemed to care, took pride in his work, and had a little sympathy for how much the situation sucked. I hope i never have to go through transmission problems again, but if i do i already know exactly where i'm going.”

“This was our first time at a jiffy lube and couldn’t be happier with our experience. They walked us through everything and more than accommodating to my 4 year old who was antsy from a long road trip while we waited. Nice to see kindness still exist!”

“Shop was able to diag my engine noise and replaced timing chain camshaft gears. Very competent mechanics, not an easy job. They worked with my extended warranty to process the claim. Repairs were completed ahead of schedule. They do more than transmissions and I will be back for regular maintenance too.Service: Engine repair”

“Finally a lot of ppl showed how Allied Lube didn't belong in Iowa. Or their mentality of perfection, Jiffy was better under Ord Enterprise. Mechanics should never be put down, it's not a easy gig. Just like cooks. Be nice to ppl that fix ur life no car=no life.”

“My 92 year old father does not have a computer but he asked me to put in a good word for the Car-X on NE 14th St. They take such great care of him and he really appreciates it and so do I.

“My Volkswagens serpentine belt busted while I was visiting family in Des Moines for the holidays. The car was towed here the day before Christmas Eve and they had us back on the road the day after Christmas. We really appreciate the team taking care of us quickly and Matthew did let us know of other issues we need to assess but also understood we needed to get home and sent us on our way without pressuring us for additional services. If I lived in desmoine I would look to get all my car work done at Car-X because you can't beat a quick and honest mechanic.”
