Outstanding and professional service. A Rae find in today’s works. I would recommend this workshop to anyone that really cares about how their vehicle is treated.
Fast service
Always hands down the best service available for my Benz, BMW, and Porsche in the entire Midwest.
These guys are the best. I love that they always provide free estimates and that the work cost is consistently within 10% of that estimate. Beyond that, the work is completed on time with a professionalism resulting in success 100% of the time I have asked them to take on a project. I highly recommend these guys!!!!
We had a transmission service, all expectations were met or exceeded. I will definitely use them again.
My Iowa State undergrad calls to let me know the clutch in my stick shift Mazda is slipping. Called a few places and was referred to Campus Garage. They did a GREAT job. I’ve waited nearly 5 months before posting this review. Haven’t had a single issue with the repair. Done right at a fair price. Highly recommend Campus Garage.
I like Campus garage because they know what they are doing!! They are prompt and reliable and work at good pace!!! I trust them, because my car is running now a lot better, easier and less noisy!! Thank you 🙏 for fixing it!!!
They always have fair pricing and work with me when I need to come in and get something fixed. They do a thorough job and help me when I need it.
I love going to Campus Garage. They are always honest and ethical in fixing my car.
A 100% go to!!! Eric the owner is very patient, fair and kind. I also felt good vibes from all the employees. Didn't push me away and treated us with the upmost respect!!!! Will go back if needed! =) Also a very clean shop!!!!
Great communication and work was done top tier. Was informed of each step of the repair process and recommendations were offered.
We bring our Volvos here for service. Book in advance whenever possible because they're a popular shop. Prices are much more affordable than the dealership.
After a botched DIY job left me without a transmission, they worked with me to try to find a cheaper solution. Unfortunately that didn’t pan out, but they were able to replace it for well under dealership rates. They kept me well informed when something came up and were even flexible enough to offer me a discount that saved me a few extra bucks.
Very Good service!
Excellent, fast service and attention to detail. They have gone above and beyond to diagnose and repair the problems we've had with our vehicle. Very appreciative for everything they've done. It's the small town service and hospitality that keeps us coming back.
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!!!
Great bunch of guys Very knowledgeable Only place my wife’s car goes My wife had an incident with her car this week. Campus garage had her car towed to their facility and got it repaired the same week. Transmission filter, transmission cover and fluid. They’re awesome
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!
