Des Moines & Ankeny Auto Repair

Thorough and informative

Great service. Everything was explained in a way that I could understand. Like the fact that they offer a loaner vehicle.

Great experience with them. Sadly I couldn't save my old car from busted transmission. Great staff in any case.

After several horrible Experiences with the dealership I took my car to Honest Wrenches. Not only was I listened to and understood, but they fixed everything that was wrong quickly and for a reasonable price. Thank you

So happy with my experience with Honest Wrenches. From the first phone call to getting my car in, Josh and the entire team were extremely welcoming, helpful, up front, and informative. They helped me understand what was wrong with my car, showed me pictures and answered all my questions. Very genuine, authentic and helpful people. That means a lot to me. Thank you all for caring so much and wanting my vehicle to be safe. Thank you, thank you; definitely recommending and happy to know I have a place I trust my car with.

Very very kind group of guys!! Josh G. Exceeded our expectations by the work his shop did. Thank you very much!!

Have you ever felt like driving your car off of a cliff rather than deal with the repairs? That's how I felt before I called Honest Wrenches. As soon as I got done talking to Josh making my appointment I knew everything was going to be okay. From the moment I showed up to drop it off, updates after the inspection, text updates that included photos, financing help all until it was time I picked my car up every ounce of service I received was over the top! As soon as Mike lifted my car and we all looked at it they could see the fear I had driving this vehicle with my child. Josh's reaction was nothing but wholesome, caring, and genuinely concerned for my safety with his only reply being "You are not leaving in your car, I don't know how you even made it here. We're going to set you up with a loan at no extra cost until we get this figure out" I wanted to cry! Within an hour of drop off Josh called to give me an update I'm just how extensive the damage is where, once the shock of the cost wear off, before I can even get my thoughts together Josh once again reassured me everything would be okay with one sentence. "you go ahead and keep the rental for a few days while you figure out the financing we need you and your daughter to be safe. have you been able to check out our website for our financing options" Once I arrived to pick up my car JD greeted me with a big smile addressing me by name and asked if I was ready to get by car back, he will bring it around front. WOW! he didn't need to do that! Honest Wrenches is by far living up to their name! they gave me a timeline of repairs for my vehicle needing things done (didn't push it all saying it needs to be done right now just to get my money) when they want to see me back, at what point what things need to be done, prices for each, and hopes to see me in the future. As much as I hope my car doesn't have any issues in the future, I can't wait to go back and see their smiling faces for all my future repairs.

My sister and I were traveling on I80 and the air conditioning in my car suddenly stopped working. I googled auto air conditioning repair in Des Moines Iowa and they were the first on the list that came up! I touched the telephone # in the ad and it automatically rang them! The owner answered and directed us off the interstate and to their repair shop! They immediately took my car in and diagnosed the problem! We were back on the road in about an hour and they charged less than the dealership would have! They are fast and professional! Cant say enough about these awesome guys! Thank you so much Honest Wrenches!

Recently introduced to Honest Wrenches by family, I am extremely impressed with the knowledge, experience, professionalism, courtesy, and quality of work from all employees of this shop. They're more than a shop, take pride in their work, and have excellent systems to communicate necessary maintenance so car owners don't have to remember, and you get a text with a link during the process with a simple guide of what work is needed and why, with explanatory pictures and videos to show you exactly what they are seeing. They have already corrected prior subpar work I have had done previously at other shops, showing me exactly what is wrong and how they do things differently to take meticulous care of your vehicle. I'm impressed, and will continue to come here and recommend them to everyone I know!
