Campus Garage for wheel alignment

Very timely and friendly!
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.
Took our car in for a fender bender. The campus garage team was clear about what they could and couldn't do, and once we agreed on the end state, they completed the project without issue. I very much appreciate their time and attention to the matter.
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 -
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.…
A long overdue review...I have been taking all 4 of our cars to Campus Garage for nearly 3 years now. They are always transparent, timely, and fairly priced (I cannot emphasize this last piece enough). They always provide an honest opinion of work that actually needs to get done vs. work that has no impact on car…
Eric and his colleagues in Campus Garage do a fantastic job, every time. We have been trusting our cars to them for well over 20 years and have never had a problem. They work fast and well, and are priced reasonably, in particular consider the quality of their work. Highly recommend!
Eric was efficient and professional! His expertise gave me confidence. A s a person new to Ames and someone who is serious about car maintenance,I am very glad my ISU colleagues recommended campus garage! THANK YOU!
They take extra time to evaluate the repairs and if anything else needs attention. Great experience. My new auto shop.
Went in for 4 wheel alignment due to cupped rear tires. Eric discovered a right rear wheel bearing that was going out (very dangerous). He performed the alignment, and indeed that was the reason for the cupped tires. He kept the car overnight (2015 Prius), and replaced the wheel bearing and hub the next morning. The…
Great people working here. Very professional. Always do a great job. Would definitely recommend if you need your car repaired.
I always get a good explanation and prompt service. I trust this team to tell me what is wrong, what it will cost and that they can and will fix it. Trust! I think that is the key!
Eric was really helpful in diagnosing a coolant leak in my Mini Cooper and replacing the tires and performing an alignment on the car. Very knowledgeable on imports.
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!
Very good customer service and easy to work with!
Very good shop to deal with. I take my three vehicles here and am always happy with the service ice and the quality of work they do. I would never take my trucks anywhere else.
