Ron's Auto Repair Center for steering & suspension repair
Clear ✕All 13 Google reviews tagged “Steering & suspension repair”
My daughter’s car had a major steering issue while at ISU. We do not live in town and found Ron’s on a web search. We were able to get in quickly. Communication open, quick, and transparent with clear pricing. We felt well taken care of through every step. Everyone my daughter and I spoke with was helpful and…
I was told all the fluids have been topped off, and when I got my oil change I found out that the coolant was below minimum range within a few days. I asked if I needed new tires, but was told no, even one that was almost legally bald (3/32nd). One tire was the wrong size. Another tire was put on inside out. At…
Had a rear wheel bearing going out, called Ron's they got me in, quoted a price and 3 hours later back on the road. No hassles. Same day service. Drives great 👍, thanks again.
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…
We have used Ron's Auto multiple times now. Diagnosis is always accurate, the problem is always solved the first time. The price is worth it when the issue is fixed and fixed right.
Very professional and great communications

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!
Easy early bird drop off in the evening, inspection report by text link the next morning, then proceed with service. Very convenient.
Fixed my car efficiently and at a decent price. Can’t ask for much more out of a mechanic. Communication was very good as well.
Service was done perfectly. I did ask when I called in to make appointment, if I could get 8:00AM appointment and wait until the work was done. I was told yes. The day I arrived, Jason said he could not do that. Had to reschedule my work for the day. It was for alignment. However, they did take me to work and…
