Ace Body and Motor has always done my car and truck repair. I’ve gotten my vehicles back in better shape then they went in. Very fortunate to have them as my mechanics. Hillbinkel

I needed the transmission shift motor’s replaced. They had the shift motors in stock at a better price than Mercedes-Benz! The people here are very knowledgeable with the smart cars and are reasonably priced!

Ace is very professional, and quick to get me in. They are honest, and great at listening to what the customer wants. Their virtual inspection report is fantastic at letting you know what needs to be done now or what can wait and includes pictures. Prices are reasonable and I’ve always had quality work. 100% recommend.
