To be honest, I don't know what else I can say that hasn't already been said. I wish there were a few more around! They've been nothing but up front, honest, and fair in the prices, and they communicate very well about what's needed, why, variables, etc. There's a reason why it's 4.9 stars at 444+ reviews.
The best people, personalities, enthusiastic, helpful, engaging, understanding. All around awesome!
Brought in a car for a pre-purchase inspection. Andy, Jason and James all took time to explain in detail the inspection results and what one could expect from owning this car. I am thinking seriously about changing who maintains my car. Was impressed. PS the shop was spotless.

Jason and James are exactly what all Technicians and Shop Managers should strive to be - professional, honest, prompt, polite, effective and efficient. Ace is as good as it gets.
Ace Body & Motor took great care of me. I brought my truck in and they did a great job getting it fixed and back on the road. The work was solid, the process was straightforward, and I really appreciated how smoothly everything went. Highly recommend if you need dependable repair work done right.
The best!! Again great service, loaner, always a positive experience at the highest quality!!

I just started taking my car to Ace for maintenance 4 months ago. I've had the oil changed twice. Replaced all 4 tires, with alignment. Last oil change included the 100k service (timing belt, water pump, cooling system flush and fill, transfer case & differential service, transmission flush and fill, and bake fluid…
Larry is super knowledgeable about Smart cars. He was very thorough with explaining what was wrong with my little car. He taught me things that I didn't know about my car. If you own a Smart car, he's definitely your go to guy and shop. Stop wasting your time and money on non experienced shops. They are Smart car gurus.
Great work and better people!
I just had a service done on my vehicle and had great feed back I love the electronic form that is sent through with the link of what was done and possible upcoming things that will need replacement soon.

James and Dennis and their team... well, they just inspire confidence. James always spent extra time talking to me and explaining the information I asked about.

I have been coming to ACE ever since friends recommended them a few years ago. They do quality work and will explain everything so I can decide. They also inform me of possible repairs to be aware of down the road so I can plan ahead.

I’ve been going to Ace Body and Motor for six years. The place is 1950s spotless. Employees are friendly and honest. They don’t try to sell services that aren’t needed. Plus, the owner, Larry Wieland, is hands-on. If my 2006 Camry needs a repair, many times he will show me why. My vehicle has 202,500 miles and has…
Excellent work and trustworthy.
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.
First time customer at Ace body and motor and Im very pleased with the service. Everyone was professional, helpful, and Jason explained the maintenance needed and let me see what was wrong with the belt system. I definitely recommend them for mechanic work and will be using them again in the future!
