This is our favorite 😍 auto repair place in Ames. Larry is honest and does a great job fixing our older Toyota Sienna.
Eastman Auto saved the day!!!! A HUGE Thank you to Eastman for getting to my car quickly and getting me back on the road!!!
Larry Eastman and co. do a wonderful job on your vehicle, go above and beyond for you as a client and are just genuinely kind people. I highly recommend this business to anyone who needs a quick and quality repair!
They are super nice and do a great job at a reasonable price. They'll tell us repairs that are recommended, but also will talk about how vital they are (we have some old cars, and some things are just not worth fixing). It is great for us to be able to prioritize repairs. Would highly recommend this business!
I have spent the last couple years moving more of my auto service needs to Larry at Eastman. Originally I only used him for the most difficult things (full rear air suspension and controller on Yukon). As other specialty shops have had major quality issues (EnTire particularly), Eastman has continued to deliver…
Larry goes to extra lengths to accommodate his customers
Had a GREAT experience here with my old carberated camaro. Very knowledgeable and great communication. Will definitely use them again when I need work done!
Truly awesome experience. My daughters car needed brake lines replaced graduation weekend and Larry came in on Sunday to finish so we could get on the road much ealier than expected. Very good communication. customer service and expert mechanic. I would recommend everyone go to this shop for thier repairs.
Purchased a used vehicle from Carvana recently & Eastman was the only shop in Ames Carvana’s warranty co Silver Rock uses. Larry inspected the vehicle for me after I purchased it, found a few items that needed repairs covered under the purchase warranty. Larry submitted the claims to SR & got the repairs done…
Larry has been the best mechanic I've ever had. As a young female, I have been talked down to by so many mechanics. Larry knows what he's doing. Honest and reasonably priced. Couldn't ask for better service!
We’ve been taking our vehicles here for almost 10 years. Larry is a great mechanic and an honest businessman.
I have taken my Jeep Grand Cherokee to Eastman Auto Care several times now and always walk away from the experience feeling very good. Not only is the owner, Larry, super friendly, helpful, and honest, but as a woman that has had several unpleasant experiences at auto repair shops in the past, he has never once been…
I love using Eastman Auto Care for any and all automotive repairs! Larry is a great, trustworthy guy and he will work with you to determine if a repair needs to be done right away or if it can wait. I can always get in quickly and if anything additional comes up, Larry makes sure to communicate and explain as needed.
