The owner of this establishment, Christopher Maxwell, traveled one state over and stole my motorcycle in the middle of the night. He couldn’t handle the power of the bike, and dropped it multiple times — making it unsafe to ride and broke the stator.The police caught him riding it down the highway and he lied trying to say he bought it off of someone. After a few months of investigation, he was prosecuted by the state. He is now rotting in prison for the next 3 years.Don’t do business with this place unless you want to trust literal thieves and felons. What a jokeEdit: "The owner of this shop wasn't out of the state this weekend and is also not in prison". The theft occurred like 8 months ago and the prosecution happened a month ago -- so that is a major white lie you are telling to try and save face. Additionally, the prosecutor for the state confirmed on the phone that this is the correct Christopher Maxwell... Lying through your teeth. Try and get the review deleted, I will continue to repost it until the day he gets out of prison

This place is great!!! Check engine light came on in my Porsche cayenne. They fixed it and then I drove home 13 hours later. I'm very particular about my cars and do a lot of the work myself (because the stealerships are full of fraud) but this job I couldn't do. Highly recommend!!! The employees are great and easy to talk to and no bs. It's so hard to find a competent auto shop. This place is a unicorn! Great job guys, keep doing you!

I had a great experience with Maxwell - everyone I spoke with was extremely kind and professional, they clearly explained the issues with my car and gave me a detailed cost estimate for the repairs. Definitely recommend this location!

Can’t recommend these guys enough. Very good prices, great work, and great people there. They have done inspections, basic engine maintenance, and oil changes for me and everything has been great. By far the best independent shop in the area for European models. My new go to place in town.Services: General repairs & maintenance

We had a noise in the front end of our 2015 VW Golf, we explained our problem to them, they listened to us and communicated the possible problems. Two days later they called and told us what the problem was, gravel was jammed in the front drive area, NO CHARGE!! We are EXTREMELY HAPPY with the communication and service we received!! They were booked up for 2 weeks, but they still got us in and fixed very quickly!! THANKYOUBill and Shelly FlynnService: Steering & suspension repair

I was referred to Maxwell Automotive to look at some air suspension issues I was having on my Audi S6. JC worked on my car and did a great job! Maxwell was very professional and communicated well with me about my car and what was going on. They didn't talk down to me (as they always do at dealers). They even took the time to show me the issues and show me what repair procedure/instalation would be like. Lastly, they were upfront about their pricing and charged me what they initially said they would (and it was a fair price in my opinion).All in all, I highly recommend this shop, if in need again I would not hesitate to return.Service: Steering & suspension repair

Maxwell auto was a pleasure to work with. My VW Beetle broke down and we had it towed to them. They inspected my car, and after determining that I didn’t want to repair it due to a lengthy list of issues, they didn’t charge me for the inspection. I really appreciated their honesty and fair pricing throughout the process!Service: Vehicle Inspection

Two weeks ago, I started a road trip across country. The oil light on my daughter's Audi indicated that the oil was low, even though the oil had just been changed. Topped it up. Two hours later, it happened again. We found Maxwell Auto on line, while we were two hours out of Iowa City. She called them and even though they were busy, they were ready for us when we got there. They diagnosed the problem and solved it. They stayed overtime for us and had us back on the road that evening. The mechanics provided the best service I have ever had and I appreciate it. I finished the road trip without further incident and am so grateful for the help and experience. I recommend Maxwell Auto most highly.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Chris, Quimby and the whole team at Maxwell Auto in Iowa City are amazing! Highly recommend them! We have a female student at UofI with a VW Tiguan that was effectively inoperable, and this team was accommodating, built trust and delivered in every way!! My daughter’s quote after picking up the car (from someone who stayed after hours to be there for her BTW) - “They we’re so awesome! They explained what they did, what I should keep an eye out for while driving it and to call with any questions or concerns. Plus, the difference in the car’s performance is insane!”

I used to work on my own car but now due to living in an apartment where they don't allow the residents to work on their cars in the garage, I take my car to Maxwell. They are honest, quick, friendly and highly skilled. Everyone who works there is friendly, I usually have talked to Quimby (sorry if the spelling is not correct) and I have spoken to the owner Chris, who is also a very down to earth good guy. Definitely recommend this business. Locally owned and operated, honest, skilled and friendly. What more do you want from your mechanic?
