We Can Service Your Car In Warranty
If you lease or drive a newer car, we can provide all the maintenance required while it’s under warranty. We’re a professional alternative to the new car dealers – at friendlier prices. (Excludes pre-paid maintenance.)
Location & Shuttle Service
Our central location (I-235 at 7th Street) in downtown Des Moines makes it easy to drop off your car in the morning and get it back the same day. We’ll take you home or to work and pick you up when your car is ready which eliminates the stress of arranging rides and minimizes the time you are without your car.
After hours we recommend G&S towing
Please leave your keys with your car. To expedite your repair please call us and leave a message about the nature of your problem and a phone number to reach you.
Early Bird/Night Drop
A secure key drop box is stationed under the entrance canopy. Repair requests forms and pencils are inside. Just park under the canopy and we’ll take it from there. Don’t forget to leave a good phone number. (Picture of night drop & canopy)
After Hours Pickup
Let us know if you wish to pick up your car after hours. We can accept payment over the phone and will leave your keys in a secure, coded lock box.
Pre-purchase inspection
The last thing you want to hear after you buy a used car is that it needs a lot of work. You can avoid that problem with our pre-purchase inspection. It’s a thorough inspection by an ASE Certified technician and a written report that lets you know about issues before you buy the car. We see cars from private sellers, dealers, coming off-lease… And, if something needs attention we’ll tell you the cost of the repair so you’ll know if the price for the car is fair.
Our Warranty
We are so confident in the quality of work produced by our Master technicians that we offer a 2 year / 24,000 mile warranty on all repairs completed by our team. This should provide you the peace of mind of knowing you can count on us to get the job done right the first time.
6 months No-interest Financing
