Eastman Auto Care for oil change
Clear ✕All 18 Google reviews tagged “Oil change”
This is our favorite 😍 auto repair place in Ames. Larry is honest and does a great job fixing our older Toyota Sienna.
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!
Larry is honest and helpful
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…
Eastman's is my go-to auto place in Ames. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for honest pricing and diagnostics.
We have a special needs son so it’s imperative that we keep his vehicle serviced. We’ve trusted these guys for years to keep our son safe on the road. They never disappoint.
Great work fast and convenient!
I highly recommend Eastman Auto Care! Very accommodating, pleasant, and do great work for an affordable price. Thank you, Larry!
When I dropped my car off, they were so swamped that I struggled to find space in their lot to put my car. They still diagnosed and fixed all of my issues within 24 hours. I'm impressed.
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.
Quick oil change service. Got my car in and out within 30 minutes. The person at the front desk seemed busy at that time, but was kind enough to take time to address my concerns related to my car brake and timing belt.
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.
Did a great job. Only thing is I went in for an oil change, and he changed the cabin filter without calling me and asking I wanted it done. That is not a standard thing that is part of an oil change. It was an extra expense I didn’t budget for. Being a single mom I keep a budget and unexpected expenses can make it hard.
