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…
Our Pacifica began to miss on Interstate 35. Pulled off at the north Ames exit and shut the car down. Restarted it and it still had the problem. Knew that we would have to get it looked at. 2 o’clock in the afternoon doesn’t leave much time! I checked Google maps and Ron’s shop was the first one that came up and had…
Stopped in to check engine light, they checked it out, took care of it and no charge. WILL GO TO THEM FOR ALL AUTO CARE
Nice people 😊. Fixed the car problems at good prices AND offered concierge service too 👍. Kept me informed all along the way. No surprises 👍. Good Shop ….would highly recommend 😊.
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.

I was on the road headed home to Oklahoma when my check engine light started flashing. I took next exit and ended up close to Ron’s. It was a Sunday and all auto shops were closed. I spent the night at hotel and showed up at Ron’s at 8. I explained my situation and they got right to work checking out my car. They…
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!
very helpful and did good quality work
Great work. Great communication about the problem. Thanks for speedy, reliable work!
Outstanding service !! We recently had a ugly problem with our car and Ron and his mechanics repaired it at a fair price and did a wonderful job getting my car back on the road. You can trust them and know that they will not give you an inflated price. We are lucky to have Ron's auto to for all our car oil changes and repairs. Totally trust them 100%.
