Very friendly and knowledgeable staff
Scott's Automotive in Des Moines, Iowa did a great job on our Chevy Colorado, a lot of overdue maintenance and repairs. We drive it a lot of miles every day and it is running great. They were also very flexible with scheduling and had extremely helpful office staff.
Awesome crew, serviced a work truck for us in Des Moines. Thanks Scott's Automotive!

They really did a good job on working on my car. Customer support was one of the best they care about the safety of their customer and the car. Even provide me some car knowledges and recommend me stuffs about my car. They are the peoples you can trust and rely on.
Scott and Jason were awesome. They got my vehicle in the shop quickly, took care of all the services I requested, and now it’s running great! Super friendly and customer-focused team. Highly recommend them if you need reliable car care!
It's running good, curious did you do something with the PVC valve problem, the check engine light was off.
Great service. Honest and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend taking your vehicles here. After taking ours somewhere else, we brought to Scott’s for a second opinion and we saved a lot of money by doing so. Update: Scott’s is still the best! It is great to have a trusted auto mechanic. I have a big family…
Had shifter issues and needed towed. Great communication. I was told upfront after diagnosis what it would cost… no surprises. Treated my vehicle like it was theirs and that’s why I trust them. Professional repair. Thanks Jason. I’m a multi time customer and I’ll return again.
AMAZING customer service!!! I have been using Scott’s for all of my cars for over 10 years!! They are easy to work with and repairs are done right in very little time. I refuse to go anywhere else!
