Auto Parts in West Des Moines, IA

“Went to see about getting some damage to the drivers door. They were more than fair on price. Every one was very nice and easy to work with. I would recommend Jacobsen auto body to anyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.”

“I walked into the parts store today to handle an AC warranty swap with the guy who sold it to me, only to find out he’s just… gone. Retired. 😞

​I’ve known Ted for over 20 years, long before I ever launched this mobile operation. He was the very first person in this industry to look at me, see the potential, treat me like a real business, and set up my first commercial account. He didn’t just sell me parts; he stood behind me.

​When you’re turning wrenches and building a business from the ground up, the right guy behind the counter is your lifeline. About 5 years ago, when my service truck, the T-Rod, started knocking Christmas morning, I was in a tight bind. I needed that truck to survive. Ted didn't hesitate. He put together an in-house special, rods, lifters, head gaskets, the whole nine yards, at a massive discount just to keep me on the road.

​He bent over backwards for me. He waived tool deposits when he didn't have to. He gave me discounts just because he knew I was a good customer fighting the same fight. I literally wouldn’t be where I am today without guys like Ted supporting me in the trenches.

​The true masters of this industry are aging out, and when they leave, they take a lifetime of loyalty, grit, and knowledge with them.

​The torch has been passed silently on to me, and to be honest... it's heartbreakingly terrifying.

​Thank you for everything, my friend.
Love,

“I got my mom’s Toyota CHR fix here. Great experiences, I didn’t have a single complain. The replacement was as good as new. They also finished in a timely manner. They even offer a great discounts, very nice people”

“I’ve been bringing my vehicles here for the last 4 to 5 years for all my basic maintenance—from Hondas, Toyotas, and Fords, to routine oil changes, tire rotations, and installations. For the majority of that time, the core team has been the same familiar faces, and they have consistently served my needs and done the work well.

​Because of this positive history, I want to give this team the benefit of my trust. The shop lately has been packed and seemingly overbooked, and the frontline staff are clearly maneuvering well under high pressure. This feedback is offered constructively to highlight a recent structural gap in workflow and communication that I hope management can address.

​On my recent visit for four new tires, I requested the TPMS sensors be left as they were since the system was functioning perfectly. Following the installation, the valve stem caps were missed and quickly returned when mentioned, and the TPMS light began flashing the next day.

​Resolving this brought to light an operational bottleneck that seems new for this shop:
​Inconsistent Information: I received different explanations on consecutive days regarding whether the sensors were mismatched or if a single one was faulty.

​Time Management: An estimated 40-minute replacement turned into a 2.5-hour wait before the work was initiated, without any intervening status updates.

​The onsite team is managing a heavy workload, but there is a clear opportunity here for management to better support this veteran staff by streamlining communication and refining time estimates. Better organizational support would allow this great team to maintain the high standard of service they’ve delivered for years. I genuinely wish this team the best and trust to see structural improvements implemented so overall performance becomes streamline.”
