Great service
Great experience here, my new go-to-mechanic in the west Des Moines area. Joe is great about communicating, apt openings and car findings, as well as prices up front. He was able to look over my vehicle quickly and do the work in a reasonable time frame. Seeing the shop cat Gretchen is always a win too.
Burch does it again! Dealership had 7 techs looking at the car and couldn’t find anything wrong. Not even an hour at Burch, problem identified and quoted. Excellent service, fabulous pricing and super fast turnaround. Don’t wait days or weeks for repairs somewhere else….go to Burch!
Always a good experience here! Joe and the rest of the staff are amazing and helpful!
Joe is Amazing. Such a kind soul always try to help you and super knowledgeable. Definitely recommend and worth trusting your vehicle with.
Joe has taken care of several issues with my daughter's Honda. He is honest, fair in process, and gets my vehicle back quickly. I highly recommend Burch Auto for your service needs.
Quick, easy, and didn’t break the bank to get my car fixed. Great shop, I’ll be returning with any future car issues.

Very reasonable... Very professional... Very knowledgeable... Took good care of me....
Joe is just simply top notch! He is friendly - always has time to talk, honest - explains exactly what was wrong and what he did, lets me know if a repair needs immediate attention or if it can wait a bit, personable, efficient and professional. I highly recommend him.
I go to this shop for everything, I found them when I was originally quoted way to high a price to fix my brakes and struts, these guys did a good job for a really awesome price. I got my tires done, and they help with general maintenance and even oil change. It can be hard as a girl to find a good auto shop. So…
