So happy to have my car back in top shape! They did a great job with the repairs my car needed! One of the most valuable things in life as an adult is having a reliable mechanic you can rely on! I took it to Honda originally and they quoted me waaaaaay more and did not put the care or love my car needed so when I…
I have taken cars to Ron's Auto Repair Center on several occasions going back to when the battery conked out in my dad's car. Ron's had us back on the road by closing time, although we had no appointment. In the last year-and-a-half I have had my car in for replacing parts and oil changes and general maintenance.…
We are from out of town and needed to have an emergency inspection done. Ron's got us right in and made sure that our vehicle was safe to drive home. They were amazing and highly recommend! 10/10
The staff were personable and very helpful, they even gave me a free ride home.
We've used Ron's for several years now and have always been very happy with them.
I've been taking my cars to Ron's Auto for over 10 years. They always shoot me straight and don't try to upsell things I don't need. My expectations have been met or exceeded every time. This most recent visit, I appreciated the time they took to explain the repair process, why it was necessary and the pros & cons…
Thorough and timely and informative on the work done.
Diagnosed our problem & corrected mistakes made at the Iowa Auto Exchange. Jason was great to work with.
My parents and I have been a loyal customers for many years! They are always professional, and they will give me a call if they find anything. Because of Ron’s Auto, I’ve been able to keep my 20-year-old car in excellent condition and running beautifully since buying it all those 20 years ago. Great job!
I’m new to the area, so when coolant was pouring out of my car, I shortlisted a few places to seek help. Ron’s fit me in immediately. They provided a report after a full look-through. This definitely impressed me and immediately engendered my trust. Based on the proof they showed me, I also asked them to change my…
Was very kind and helpful. Got my boyfriend car in fast and in short notice. Service price was great, car was done quickly and they made sure to keep me informed during whole process.
Ron's was able to diagnose our cars issue after another shop misdiagnosed the issue. They let us know that we just needed to change spark plugs after another shop said we needed to replace the whole top end of the car. I'm glad we brought it to them as they saved us thousands of dollars. They run a clean shop, are…
