Under the hood

Full-service repair shop

Bumper to bumper on domestic, import, truck and SUV. If it rolls in, we can sort it out.

Tires & Wheels

New tires, mount and balance, rotations, TPMS, flat repair and custom wheel packages.

Brakes

Pads, rotors, calipers, lines and fluid flushes. Stop confident, no squeal, no shudder.

Diagnostics

Check engine lights, drivability issues and electrical gremlins traced to the real cause.

Suspension & Steering

Struts, shocks, ball joints, tie rods and precision alignments for trucks and cars alike.

Heating & A/C

Recharges, leak detection, compressors and blend doors — comfortable in any Iowa season.

Maintenance

Oil changes, batteries, belts, fluids and factory-interval service that protects resale value.

Rubber that fits

The right tire for how you drive

All-season commuters, aggressive all-terrains, winter sets, performance summers — we'll match tread and budget instead of upselling you into something you don't need. Mounting, balancing, TPMS and disposal handled in house.

  • New tires in every common size, ordered fast
  • Road-force balancing for a smooth highway ride
  • Rotations, patches and pressure checks
  • Wheel packages and fitment advice for builds
