“Quick and friendly process buying a vehicle through them. They knew I was coming in and they had everything ready to go. The paperwork portion of the deal was handled quicker than any previous experience anywhere else. The best part of the whole experience is they never once tried to sell me something I didn't need. I would encourage anyone looking for a vehicle to give them a chance.”
“Fast and friendly service. They respected our wish to just make the car drivable and do the bare minimum of repairs to help keep costs low. Thanks for the quick turnaround!”
“I cannot speak highly enough about Arena Auto Body. Each staff member I interacted with was incredibly welcoming, they walked me through step-by-step the service I was going to be receiving, and treated both myself and my vehicle with the utmost respect.
My experience was so pleasant that I told them I would have to crash my car just to have a reason to go back!”
“Vic’s was great to work with. My car was hit on the passenger side back door. I stopped for an estimate and had one within 10 minutes. They worked with the insurance company. I received daily updates as they worked on my car. When my car was done, it looks brand new. It looks great! Staff are pleasant and easy to work with. I highly recommend Vic’s for your auto repairs.”
“Top notch, top quality Auto Body & Paint shop. No corners are cut here, its done right and to the highest quality outcome. I highly recommend for all of your Auto Body/collision, or car/truck restoration needs. They did the complete paint job on my 25.1E Chassis Camaro Z28”
“Outstanding Service at McGrath Car Dealership!
I had an excellent experience with the service department and just wanted to give a big high five to the service technicians for their outstanding work! Everyone was professional, courteous, and truly went the extra mile to make sure my vehicle was taken care of properly. The communication was clear, the service was timely, and I felt confident my car was in great hands.
Thank you for your honesty, hard work, and dedication to great customer service. I highly recommend this dealership for anyone looking for dependable and friendly service!”
“I can’t express how good Fountain Transmission is! They are VERY trustworthy and honest people. Fair prices and they really care about taking care of you. I will hopefully never have to come back but if another vehicle of mine breaks down I will absolutely be coming back to Fountain Transmission.”
“We in general are compared to what is our competition. I had an IID device that needed serviced/removed/transferred. In complete opposite of the shop that installed the item, this shop displayed true professionalism. The competition a stones throw away, berated me on where I parked my vehicle to the point of throwing insults my way. The hostile environment was created by them and was not something I wanted. I tried to atone for and deescalate. It didn't undue their disdain for a paying customer who made a mistake.Hawkeye on the other hand, had clear painted parking spaces and the staff never wandered from being respectful professionals. They will get my repeatable business that is for sure.”
“Kevin was really helpful in answering all my questions and getting me a thorough but quick estimate. The final product looked like high quality work. The only negative thing about the process was that they tried contacting me with a phone number attached to my insurance instead of the one I provided them so I had to call them to find out the car was ready for pickup. Not enough of an inconvenience though to overshadow the amazing work they did.”
“My husband and myself came from Canton, Illinois. He had to have a difficult procedure performed at the University Iowa Health Care Hospital. We came to Iowa the night before his surgery. When we got to the hospital the next morning, our car died pulling into the parking lot! Here we were 150 miles from home and our car wouldn't start! My husband's surgery started at 7am. It was left up to me to find out about our car. I came across Hanson Automotive. They had good reviews and was fairly close to the hospital. I took a chance and called the business.
The man that answered the phone was so understanding! He told me that he would contact a towing company for me to get our car towed to him. It wasn't 10 minutes later, the towing company called me and said that they would be there asap! Mr Hanson called me back to make sure that i was contacted by the towing company. The towing company came and got our car, they took it to HANSON AUTOMOTIVE INC. He called me 3 hours later, first he asked about my husband, then our car. He told us that it was the serpentine belt and the battery. He wanted to make sure that it wasn't something else that caused the serpentine belt to malfunction, before he gave the car back to us.
He called later that day and said that he was confident that it was fixed and ready to make the 150 mile trip back home. I told him that we weren't going to be discharged until 2 days later. He said not to worry. The next day I began trying to figure out a way to get our car. He said not to worry, he then told me that he would pick me up asap and bring me to our car. He did just that!
We arrived at his place of business, once again he explained what had happened with the car and how the billing system was set up. I paid the bill, which by the way was extremely reasonable! Being a woman who knows nothing about cars, he could of taken total advantage of me when it came time to pay the bill. He didn't! I would highly recommend this business to anyone! Mr Hanson, you are the best! Thank you for being so thoughtful, nice, sincere and honest!
Tom and Michelle Latimer”

“Blandon was spot on! Although I probably drove him crazy trying to decide on which vehicle I wanted he pointed me in the right direction onto the car that was right for me. Explained everything in detail. Thank you Brandon!”
“First of all I’m an actual customer. JP has worked on 2 of our cars. The work on both was excellent. Perfect color matching and metal work. The second job was a tricky rust repair. A lot of big shops dont want this sort of noninsurance work and maybe for other reasons. JP is just starting out and willing to take this on at very fair prices. Definitely would recommend JP.”
“As an auto service shop owner in Cedar Rapids, just a short drive from Iowa City, finding reliable salvage yards has been a real challenge. Luckily, Ace Auto Recyclers has been a godsend!Always stocked, always helpful: Ace seems to magically have it on hand. Their staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making every interaction a pleasure. They genuinely remember me by name, even if it's been months since my last visit!Beyond the parts: Ace doesn't just sell parts; they offer solutions. They've taken me into the yard to compare parts from different vehicles, helped me source specific components from wrecked cars, and even let me measure parts off a straight car to ensure a perfect fit on the wrecked one.Safety first: While they have tires available, safety is their top priority. They understand that most salvaged tires aren't reliable due to accidents, age, or dry rot. This commitment to safety puts my mind at ease.The Ace team: Ken, Bart, Jay, and Cole are the stars of the show at Ace. They're incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always happy to go the extra mile. While I miss one of them who moved closer to home (best wishes!), the rest of the team keeps me coming back.In short, Ace Auto Recyclers is the epitome of a top-notch salvage yard. Their reliable inventory, friendly service, and willingness to go above and beyond are unmatched. If you're in the Cedar Rapids or Iowa City area and need auto parts, I can't recommend Ace highly enough!”
“Was at a baseball game and had a foul ball hit my rear passenger side quarter panel...it was a good size dent. I sent Jesse some pictures and he said he would do his best and it came out amazing! I also had them do some small driver door dents. Price was very reasonable, got a loaner car and am more than satisfied with their work! Would HIGHLY recommend.”

“Very helpful and professional staff. No pressure environment. I was having difficulty purchasing a particular vehicle i had found online through Carmax. My order was lost, and had to be restarted on 3 separate occasions.
When I found the same make and model I was after at Carousel Nissan, I decided to try them out.
I am extremely glad I did. I was able to schedule a test drive and they kept in contact with me.
Staff was very accommodating. I was able to get the vehicle I was after, at a better price as well.
I highly recommend Carousel Nissan.”
“The Whitedog team is simply the best. Jess is always so helpful, professional and kind, as is Kevin and the whole team - Just top notch customer service. I am never surprised by a bill, they communicate clearly about the work needed/being done, quality work has been my experience, and they always follow-up to see how things are going after each appointment because they truly care. 11/10 will continue recommending this local business!”
“After getting an estimate for close to the value of the car from a shop that wanted to use a new door and body panels, I went to Outlaw Auto. Madrice quoted an estimate based on a salvaged door and refinishing the sheet metal for 1/3 the first estimate. When we found the replacement door had a defective impact sensor buried inside, Madrice offered to pull the sensor from the old door at no cost. Then he found that Chevy had changed sensor and the wiring harness connectors didn't match. He offered to swap the wiring too, which was more involved and needed extra labor - he contacted me and got my approval first - no surprises, and he had it ready the next day. The car looks great - thank you!”
“My wife and I bought our first electric vehicle and Nathan was exceedingly helpful with us and was willing to work with our schedule two hours away. He made sure we were all set and understood how everything worked. Would absolutely send a friend or family member to Nathan”
“The customer service is superb they are very knowledgeable and don’t try to sell you something more expensive than you need will inform you about the difference in more expensive parts so you can decide what you want.”

“Luke went above and beyond; replaced a spent battery, brought my attention to some things I would’ve never caught, and even gave me some free tips on maintenance I can do at home on my own. Elite level customer service!”
“I typically do not enjoy a trip to the service department. Carousel's staff are as good as it gets, they go above and beyond the call of duty and did an excellent job! Would highly recommend them.”
“Our salesman Troy was great. Our whole experience was! Easiest vehicle purchase we have ever had through a dealership. Thank you Brandi! They also have one of the best mechanics Benjamin Waters.. you can’t go wrong with Toyota”
“This is a man that knows cars he is so creative and if the id eanything wrong with your car he will fix it. Also the lady in the office is the sweetest person in the world.”
“They did an awesome job tinting my Audi all around for a fair price! Owner even called me ahead of time to make sure I was okay that they removed previous tint that was on it. Highly recommend”

“I stopped in to grab the passenger side and rear wipers for my Subaru Forester, the driver side wiper was replaced this week at another shop that didn't carry the other two parts. I should have just stopped at NAPA becuase they have them. They also have great, and friendly staff like Ronnie and Roy, who are both fantastic. Roy found the parts and I purchased them. When I went to install the passenger side, the size that Subaru lists as my blade is too long and does not match what the dealership installed at my previous scheduled maintenance. I went back in to get the part and Ronnie was able to find a size and we got it installed. She was also able to guide me to install the rear wiper myself, great teacher.
The next time I need a part or tip I will return for the helpful service and guidance like Ronnie and Roy offered me.
On an seemingly unrelated note, good gift idea for kids, or kids at heart, please think about a Glow-in-the-dark Marble Run set from National Geographic. (It was in the store an employee had and it looked super fun and brought back hours of childhood memories.)
Thank you to Ronnie and Roy for the helpful service and good conversation while we got everything figured out.”
“Shane was great! He helped me on the phone and in the store to find the right battery for my car. I'm not a car guy, so I appreciated how he made the process very simple by being honest about my car's needs and answering my questions in a way that made everything easy to understand. The old battery was really jammed in there, but he got it out and replaced it with the new one for me, despite having to do it in the dark of night while it was raining. I will definitely be coming back here for any future needs!”
“My 11 year old son saved his hard earned money for a dirt bike and they were so kind and supportive of him being a new rider. I just know we will be regular customers here! Thanks for hooking him up with his first bike!”
“White Dog auto repair was outstanding. Our Lexus had a bizarre electrical issue which they isolated and corrected. Their communication was excellent, and their pricing very reasonable. We highly recommend them.”
