Ace Body & Motor have professional service techs that take good care of their customers cars and trucks. Their prices are reasonable and they do an excellent job. Definitely the best service garage and they also sell tires!
Had my oil changed. It was done in a timely manner. Will be using Ace Body and Auto for any future automotive needs.

Best parts, competitive pricing. Remember you get what you pay for. The owner Larry always there. Very clean experienced staff. The…
Larry and all his staff are fantastic! At a recent unannounced visit Larry took time to buff out my front right bumper. Now that’s how his business operates with integrity and above all customer first. Thank you Ace Body and Motor.
They are thorough and I know they have my back when it comes to my 4 vehicles. Over the years, I have never had a bad experience.
Excellent.
Battery symbol and words "battery not charging" came on. Dropped truck off on Friday just at closing time. Recieved call Monday at 8"30 with diagnosis and cost. Work was completed that day. Thank you.
Faulty Flicker Fixed in a heartbeat. So grateful that we could pop in and get our indicator light fixed so quickly, efficiently and inexpensive. Always grateful for you all. If your values align with truth, trust and loyalty you will be relieved to have your vehicles taken care of by Ace Motor & Body. We have been…
From James’ cheerful phone greeting when calling for the appointment through the entire process all went extremely.
Larry and Jason were wonderful! So nice and knowledgeable.
Quality, professional, honest, timely service. Great communication throughout. They even have loaner cars while your work is done.
Been going here longer than I can remember. Was originally referred by an insurance agent who encouraged me to let Ace handle my accident claim. Been going there ever since.
Very friendly, fast service, no nonsense. Loaner vehicles are a major plus. Will go back here for all maintenance requirements.
It was very good. Got my vehicle in quickly and went to work. Jason is a great host with our conversations about churches and other current events. Nice clean shop with the nostalgic atmosphere.
Jason and James are so nice and friendly. Always willing to help. Great place to take care of my auto needs.
Excellent Service. Very thorough. Very trustworthy. Highly recommended.
Excellent service all friendly staff immaculate facility!!
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 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 have found a new place to call "Home" for all my car needs and maintenance. It feels like home...all the people are so nice, friendly, and honest, with attention to detail. Time passes quickly while sitting on the car seat couch while waiting, and the conversation flows. They saved my car from an oil burning…
Have been having my mustang serviced at Ace since I bought it . It still runs like a dream, the level of detail and knowledge they display in their work goes above and beyond and keeps me worry free about the many road trips I take!
they are always friendly and informative, offer great explanations of services performed and no unnecessary up selling when it's not needed. the work is always high quality and reliable. they also have free loaner cars on hand for you to borrow while your vehicle is being serviced!
Reliable service, always helpful in providing advice on what needs to be done with a common sense approach.
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. Always nice to know what is coming down the road. I had no idea that my brakes were close to needing…
Great professional, friendly and honest team. Very CLEAN shop.
Went through high hell to find this man. SO glad another satisfied customer turned us onto him. He is honest, efficient and cares a lot about his work. He is the ONLY one who will touch my smart car going forward. I live north of the area and drive to Des Moines just for him...
First time to use this auto service and very impressed with the services provided, including cost estimate prior to service, loaner vehicle, services performed and detailed service report. Highly recommend and will return.
First time using Ace Body and Motor shop and I will for sure return!
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 don't know enough about cars to be even remotely dangerous, but he always answered honestly and with a professional bedside manner. He set me straight…
Ace is always the place that I trust for the maintenance of all my vehicles. The staff is friendly, honest, and takes the time to explain any issues they may have found and why it should be addressed. And as an added bonus, there is free coffee.
The team at Ace Body & Motor always does an amazing job at a reasonable price. They do a great job diagnosing and recommending, while not pressuring you into any decisions. I won't go anywhere else!
I have been going to Ace Body& Motor for a very long time, they are very professional and courteous and do excellent work. I will highly recommend them to anyone.
They let you know what repairs are needed and cost also give you a list of recommended maintenance that needs done and costs. Very professional company
Great place to get your car worked on. They are friendly & professional.
Been using Ace for 15 or so years. Love their clean shop, friendly and very knowledgeable staff, and quality service. They will treat you right with whatever car needs you have.
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.
Truly excellent service. Dropped my vehicle off for quite a few repairs. They were patient and honest and talked through the maintenance strategy on the phone. And it was a huge success - will definitely be a repeat customer.
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…
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.
Very experienced, contacted me before the work was started on what needed done. Very experienced!
Always friendly and courteous. Feel confident that I’m not being sold something I don’t need. Work is great quality, never had to take it back for the same thing.
