Mark and his team over at Ultimate Auto
Been going here for well over 15 years and everytime with excellent services and prices. They always know how to make me feel like family and knowledgeable about cars. Mostly because they like working on my favorite vehicle to keep her running well for us. I am proud of this company and wont go anywhere else for services. :)
Just had alignment service there for the first time ever. Initially working with Nick was wonderful, very knowledgeable and courteous (he's probably the manager there, not sure). Chase did my repairs and test drove the car with me before and after repair. The alignment was off, and it got corrected beautifully.…
Very professional and timely. Been going there for years. Work always done right and very affordable. You will be well taken care of
Nice people, fair pricing, good service all around.
I was amazed at the service. We had a lot of work done. They communicated with me and did a great job. They were just a hair over the estimate but it wasn't a surprise. I brought an inspection from another service and they told me what really needed to be done and what didn't. Another plus is that they are open…
I have been taking my cars here for YEARS! Mark, Mel and the whole crew at Ultimate Automotive are unmatched. I have brought many issues to this team (damaged radiator, electrical/battery issues, tires, transmission, alignment, towing, etc.) and they are upfront about costs, timing, and labor. I always get honest…
Ultimate does a great job with all my cars over the years. They handle all the communications with my warranty company and explain everything in as mich detail as I ask for. Will go here as long as I can!
I discovered this business when I needed my daughter's car towed a few years ago. On my first few visits they went above and beyond and I thought I had found a automotive repair place I could trust. However, in the last year their service has been hit or miss and I got the feeling a couple times that I might be…
AMAZING! MY CAR RUNS LIKE BRAND NEW! The professional team, promises kept, timely repairs and kept me informed. I recently moved back to Des Moines and have found my go to place for all my automotive needs. Thank you so much!
I dropped my van off at 1:15pm and didnt get it back til 7pm only to find out they couldnt do the alignment.. i had new parts and some warn tires but it was definitely possible to set the alignment and they just didn’t because of laziness and because i didnt spend $ on tires and unnecessary parts. Would not recommend wasting your time here.
