Des Moines & Ankeny Auto Repair

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! The owner calling to make sure everything was still great a few days after I got my car back was just the cherry on top. 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.

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!

I brought my van in with air conditioning issues - problem was bigger than I hoped. Honest wrenches fixed that problem and showed me potential other items that needed fixed. We worked together to get things done quickly and right! Would not hesitate to go there again - especially with their 5 year/50,000 mi warranty!!

I own a local garage door service company and have Honest Wrenches service my fleet. The owner, Management, and Mechanics are all top notch, and go above and beyond to give 100% customer satisfaction. I wouldn’t take my fleet or personal vehicles anywhere else! Thank you Honest Wrenches for the excellent service and quality repairs!

Always great service and timely. I get the full report on what the issues are related to my vehicle and a discussion on addressing them. There are no surprises on what is being done.

Hands down one of the most caring, understanding and helpful auto shops I've ever used. Honest Wrenches had a major accident while working on my car that resulted in the vehicle being totaled. The situation was very unfortunate but they went above and beyond to make it right. They brought all the cars I was interested in to their shop and did full inspections to guarantee I was repurchasing the very best car. After 3 weeks of searching we found a great car and they even covered $750 of maintenance.

Honest wrenches is the best. I have never taken my car anywhere and had better service than what I get here. They have taken such great care of my car and my husband's truck that I will never take my vehicle anywhere else. Josh does such an amazing job. He certainly knows how to take care of his customers.

I have been comming here for 2 years and have had the best luck with these guys. I have a car with many after market parts, that some shops wont touch. The knowlede and expertise the mechanics have here are top notch. Highly recommended!

Great work and even better customer service! Use them if you can.

Highly recommend Honest Wrenches for all your car repairs and maintenance needs. They do a comprehensive evaluation and always discuss what services I'm due to have. We prioritize what needs done and they are good about working with me on cost. My work schedule is hectic and they are always willing to come pick my car up and return it after the service. If they need to keep it overnight they provide a free rental car. I have been extremely happy with my service over the past 5 years. I travel alot for work and they keep me safely rolling down the road. I have almost 230,000 miles on my car and she still runs like a champ!!
