“They are amazing. Had my truck in a few months ago and they made her look like new fixing the rusted fenders. Went back this month with damage to the same truck from a large branch falling on it. They were very helpful and friendly. Got me an estimate within 30 minutes. Looking forward to doing business with them to get her fixed up.”

“My daughter (an ISU student not very familiar with the Ames area) brought her car to Mike's for a scraping sound. (I had searched the Internet, and, finding a number of good ratings about Mike's, I called them in advance.) She said that everyone was super nice and that the staff quickly found the problem (which, thankfully, turned out to be a minor issue), and they fixed her car for free! So nice of them!!! I had just come off a month of replacing my radiator, all four tires, a partially broken phone, and a refrigerator, so I was very grateful for no additional expenses -- and for this shop's honesty and helpfulness! Awesome!”

“Traveling from MN and had a quick trim/ molding issue that required immediate attention. They looked at it, got me a quick fix, and back down the road asking for this review as payment for services. Appreciate their willingness and help,”

“WOW!!! What a fantastic experience!
I had been searching for rims and finally found a great set at an amazing price at Jerry Carney & Sons. Tom was incredibly helpful, taking the time to walk me through the sale and arrange for shipping, which was also very reasonably priced. I can't say enough good things about this business. Thanks so much for the excellent service. I will always check your site first!”

“**Outstanding Experience at George White Chevrolet**

I recently purchased a 2019 Lincoln MKC from George White Chevrolet, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My salesperson, Tony Thornburg, was exceptional from start to finish. Tony was honest, straightforward, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I felt comfortable with my decision.

The trade-in value I received for my previous vehicle was fair and in line with what I expected. There were no surprises or pressure tactics, just a genuine effort to ensure I got the best deal possible.

Overall, my experience at George White Chevrolet was top-notch. If you're in the market for a new or used vehicle, I highly recommend working with Tony Thornburg and the team at George White Chevrolet. They truly put the customer first.

“Ames, Iowa AutoZone is outstanding! Specifically, Jay and Tricia. Both were my customer service reps this evening as I rolled into Ames, Iowa from Colorado Springs, CO. As I drove into Ames, my engine's responsiveness started acting unusual where the engine wasn't accelerating appropriately as I pressed the accelerator. As the engine began it's sporadic hesitation, the check engine light came on. This was a very nerve racking situation because it's 6pm Saturday evening and I have to drive to my destination the very next morning, with several kids, for a 3 day wrestling camp! With the check engine light on, I drove to this AutoZone where Jay and Tricia immediately assisted me by getting me an OBD II Scanner so I could start trouble shooting the check engine light. Turned out, I had a faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor! YIKES! Replacing this component isn't the easiest because it's located deep inside the engine bay. Again, it's approx. 6pm and this AutoZone closes at 9pm. I'm now racing against the store's closing time and the sun going down, making visibility extremely difficult for where the sensor is located. For example; replacing this sensor involved me having to raise the vehicle, remove the front passenger wheel, removing the wheel well shroud, moving an O2 Sensor wire and brake line for easier access. As I attempted to raise my vehicle, the jack handle (from my vehicle's tire change kit) broke! YIKES! Jay and Tricia immediately assisted me in finding a suitable replacement jack and leant me several tools I needed to complete the job. Initially, it appeared they had the replacement sensor I needed in stock, but after several attempts of me attempting to connect the wiring harness to the replacement sensor, we learned the new sensor wasn't the right one, even though the part number was correct and it looked almost identical to the old sensor. Even though their store did not have the right sensor, Jay and Tricia worked tirelessly calling around until they found a store that had the right sensor. Additionally, because my vehicle was disabled at the moment, Jay drove me to that store and waited for me until I got the right sensor, then he drove me back so I could finish the job! Thankfully, I was able to finish the job before the store closed and the sun went down. If it weren't for Jay & Tricia's immediate willingness to help and can-do attitudes, I would have missed the reason I drove to Iowa and wasted several days and hundreds of dollars. Jay & Tricia's professional and service before self approach to customer service has me very thankful I choose AutoZone for my automotive needs.”

“I bought a used car from Mike. A week later I had problem with my car & he offered to fixed the issue at no cost to me . I dropped my car off after work & he had it fixed the next day.Very happy customer. Mike is a trusted , friendly, person I'm diffently going back to him.”

“Cannot speak highly enough of this store or the employees there. Great work and excellent people. You’d be doing yourself a big disservice going anywhere else.”

“They did an excellent job repairing hail damage on my vehicle. They finished ahead of schedule and on budget. There were some tape lines and adhesive patches left on the vehicle that were hard to remove but the work was done well.

They even vacuumed out the front feet wells. Just a detail but one appreciated.”

“Honestly god bless everyone there they helped me out big time they went above and beyond with their customer service. Drove down from North Dakota to help out my sister with her car that had a blown head gasket and I was kinda in a rush and the turn around time and delivery was quick! I can’t thank them enough thank you guys I hope you guys have a good weekend. Bless”

“Needed a socket and breaker bar to remove a stubborn nut from my lawn tractor. Vance was awesome. He helped me find the correct size and drive size. These people are the reason why I always come here.”

“My daughter's car was having battery trouble and I was greeted immediately when I walked in and they explained everything I needed. I was able to get her car there and they fixed it in the snow and made sure I was taken care of. They took a stressful situation and made it easy. I highly recommend them!”

“We purchased our 4th car from Honda of Ames (a 2024 Civic EXL hatchback) this weekend. Everyone we worked with did a fantastic job. Let's name some names so I can give well deserved accolades: Aaron Warren worked hard to get us the best APR available and the paperwork process was incredibly smooth. Jon Ballard was our contact person in the initial process and did very well in explaining his role and how he could help me with my trade. Then Cam Evans was the sales associate we worked with. He's very personable, professional, and most importantly, not pushy. This is the 4th Civic I have owned, going all the way back to 1984 when I purchased a new Civic S hatchback for 6800 bucks. No Civic has ever disappointed me and I am looking forward to many years of trouble free driving. Oh, I almost forgot: I've used the service department for several years and they also have always provided top notch service.”

“When I arrived my car was a mess. I had a spare tire on the front. In the car was a jack and a flat tire and two unmounted tires. When they were done the tires had been mounted, balanced, and rotated. The jack and spare had been put away. They did a great job at an affordable price.”
