Good plave to have your vehicle sit for a week, without them even looking at it. I did give them heads up about the tow. Funny thing is, always the same answer, I'll probably get it in to look at it this afternoon. Lol!

I'm staying in Ames while my mother is in the hospital here. My regular mechanic is in Chicago. I heard a loud noise coming from under my car every time I went over a speed bump in the hospital parking ramp. Took my car to Macky's and asked if they could look at it. A very nice man immediately came out to the parking lot, looked under my car and was able to fix the problem (heat shield had come loose) in a few minutes. He very nicely explained everything to me, made a recommendation to have my mechanic take a look at it when I get back to Chicago, and I was back on the road with no more funny noises a few minutes later. Great experience--definitely would go back if I had another car problem while in Ames.

I was having issues with a leak but couldn't find where. The first place we took my car to said it was a bad transfer case and the whole thing needed replaced, quoting us $3,400 to do so. We called around and Macky quoted us significantly less. They ran a free diagnostic and ended up finding that just a hose was bad and a whole transfer case replacement wasn't needed, saving us even more money.We're very glad we took my car there and appreciate their thoroughness and taking the time to actually determine what the problem was! They kept us updated all throughout the diagnostic and repair and were fully transparent. Their prices are also so much more reasonable than other places out there. We definitely will be taking our cars back in the future!

Macky Repair shop is the best for all your vehicle repair and maintenance needs. This shop work on any motor vehicle with 4 or more wheels. The owner Mr. Troy is a miracle maker. He is a mechanic electrician and professional genius. He can fix mechanical problems and electrical problems big or small. As well as anyone who works with him.If you get your vehicle fixed at Macky Repair know for a fact you will have better quality repairs than the dealership for an amazing affordable fair price. And you can request the quality and brands of the specific parts that you need to be replaced. And if they find anything surprising that needs fixing they will notify you before going any further. And they will go far and beyond to get your car working better than new. Yes!! with Macky Repair better than new is an option.They can work on Classic cars Modern cars and cars that just hit the consumer market. And they can work on trucks, vans, machinery vehicles, construction, and much more.In my experience with them, I had my 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 engine completely rebuilt and it was done under a month. It would have been much faster if I had them order all the necessary parts from the beginning. And as seen in the pictures the engine turned from a rust smoking bucket to a racing Harley-sounding engine. They can do a great job tuning carburetors which not many repair shops do or can do or would do these days.I had my 2011 Crown Victoria tires and rotors and brake pads replaced by them. And thanks to GOD and then Mackey Repair shop expertise in installing and rotating tires with weights and not multiples weights like most inexperienced shops do rotations. It saved my life on the highway from someone break-checked from 70 MPH me to a full stop without even a scratch. So, if you care about your life or your children or your neighbor go to them for your car repairs. They saved my life as proof of how good they are.They even fixed my 1999 Honda Accord wheel hub assembly and front passenger sway bar link. Which made the loud knocking sound coming from the wheels disappear. And they replaced my tires and rotated them with the correct weight. Thanks to them they made the car sound like a cloud on the road. And what's surprising is they knew exactly what was the problem from my description and sound imitating. Which most repair shops won't even consider they would just brush you off and charge you for inspection.Macky Repair shop is the best shop in the world for many reasons if not for the price alone or the quality. And this is a little secret from me. They might still have discounts and subscription plans for general maintenance you can only get if you ask for them. Which is a way better way to save money than to come without it each couple of months for maintenance.And don't forget their motto "We repair what your husband fixed"Services: Auto A/C recharge

My van broke down on the local Walmart. I'm from out of town (8 hours away). And the mechanic came to the Walmart to help me.The owner and his wife went above and beyond to help me when I was stranded and not knowing a sole around me. I cannot thank Macky Repair enough for everything they have done for helping me and my boys out and repairing my van. If I lived in Iowa I know this would be my preferred shop.Thank you Macky RepairService: General repairs & maintenance

They provide great service at a reasonable rate. Unlike other service shops they do not double their hourly rates on you if you do not let themsupply the parts for the repair. It is well worth the extra hours drive for me to get the work done where I won't get ripped off.Service: General repairs & maintenance

We live out of town but have a child that attends ISU. The car was in need of a new alternator and we really had no idea where to take it. Communication with Troy was great, the job was done in a timely manner. It was a complicated / long labor job and the price was fair. We will return to Macky for our car needs!Service: Engine repair
