High quality work. Honest and easy to work with. Very customer and quality oriented. Would strongly recommend them. This has been the case every time I have had work done by them. I would not go to any other garage.The last two days I had brake work done on both my cars. It was clearly explained what…
Fast service
I've taken my car here twice now. They do a free diagnostic on your car to figure out what is wrong, and are reasonably priced. They aren't cheap by any means, but they're not out to rob anyone either. So they will likely have the best deal compared to the competition. Service is very professional and friendly.…
There isn’t a more qualified or honest mechanic we are aware of in town and we have used 4 separate services over the years. They provide great service at reasonable prices.
Can’t recommend this place enough! I’ve been taking my car here for repairs and service throughout college will continue as along as I’m in Ames. They were able to fit me in day of when I had brake issues and needed a full replacement.
Always a pleasure to work with Eric and his team his team- they keep my classic Beamer and my late model VW in tip top shape. Reliable and knowledgeable, way better than any dealer -
Eric is honest and fair. He and his mechanics have my complete confidence!
Very knowledgeable. Good quality services that are reasonably priced.
Honest and dependable service. Some of the best mechanics we have encountered. Update 2025...still bringing our Cayenne to these great people. We drive about 140 miles round trip and it's worth the extra time everytime! Update...Campus to the rescue again! They helped my kid with his RAM and are always experts.…
Excellent auto service garage with very experienced and friendly staff.
Always terrific service! I’m grateful that I can usually get an appointment right away. Communication is good, they always call and explain things clearly in a way that I can understand. Prices seem reasonable and fair.
The Campus team was awesome! Needed the car back quickly…they sourced parts and worked us into their schedule. Quality work, great communication and under the estimated budget! Will definitely continue to use this group!
Campus Garage has been my preferred mechanic for over 5 years. They are honest, extremely helpful, & do their best to help in a car emergency even when they’re busy! Thank you all again!
Very knowledgeable about my Porsches ( I have 2) labor rate is about 1/2 of dealers. Communication is excellent keeping customer informed. No waiting area (might be a good thing=). Most important answer to all questions is would I continue to do future business? YES!!!
Cannot recommend Campus Garage enough! They fit me in with a brake issue at the last minute when my regular garage wasn't able to. Knowledgeable, friendly, convenient and affordable. I'll be switching my car care here permanently.
Excellent service.
Excellent job!
Prompt professional polite. Evaluated, quoted cost, performed repairs. Quick and easy. What more could I ask for. Well pleased.
Fantastic experience! Dropped off over the weekend and they assessed and replaced by brakes before Tuesday was over, and at an affordable price!
Went to other two shops to fix the water leak in my car, but they all failed. Campus Garage has it fixed. They were extremely polite and professional. Highly recommended!
Best place for everything you need fixed on a car. Very professional, and they can be trusted to do excellent work with awesome customer service, and at a fair price always. I would highly recommend them.
