Customer Reviews

After questioning a local prominent Toyota brand repair shop I went to Central just to compare. Central gave me a much more thorough inspection and maintenance rundown while pointing things out to me the local Toyota dealership either were incapable of diagnosing or purposely omitted.

All great experiences to date with this service. Had an issue with some new struts (recall by company) and after an initial inspection they called me to schedule. Very professional, courteous, and reasonable prices. Very pleased.

We were in IC for hospital and treatment. Had no idea who to call. They got us in quickly, picked up and dropped off my sister with no problem. Fair and honest bunch. Highly recommend them. Thanks y'all!

Good customer service. Great work.

Michelle Eiermann

I'll be going here first next time. I went next door and they were rude and unprofessional so I came here to make sure they didn't screw up my car too. The employees at Central were lovely and took a quick look at my car without charging me. They've gained a new customer for sure.

Mike Freeman was so helpful and informative about my car's needs and I will always be taking my car to Central Auto from now on!

Silver Tab

Very helpful and friendly. Price was a little bit better than other places. Appreciate that they helped me out with being stuck away from home.

Tina Thomason

I was traveling from PA to CO with my son and mother. We thankfully decided to stay in Coralville for the night. We got off I-80 and my brake pedal was stiff and could barely stop. We got into the hotel around 9/10 pm on Sunday and at 8am Monday they said they could fit me in at 9 am. I took my car down and they read the check engine code and figured it out to be my vacuum pump for my brakes broke. Thankfully enough they found a part fairly quickly and fixed my car after running me to my hotel and picking me up. All was done in a timely manner all with very understanding shop guys! Highly recommend! They gave me a quote to fix my car prior to doing anything with it, with a very reasonable price!

I've had numerous services done on my car here, from standard oil changes to brake repair. The service is always great, they are very transparent about anything that needs to be done, and after researching prices at a few places, they are very fair. Definitely plan to continue using them as long as I live in the area.

These guys are really good. They do great work, quickly, and at a reasonable price. If something of mine is fixed at Central. It'll be fixed forever.

Baby_Ging

I was having a lot of weird electrical issues and issues with my car not starting or starting slowly. My check engine light also had come on. Before taking it to Central Auto., I took it to get a quote from a different mechanic and he quoted me $2000 for my cadillac converter. I went to get my 2nd opinion from Central Auto they also found that the cadillac converter had turned the check engine light on. They quoted me for that (cheaper than 1st quote) but before doing anything they told me they were going to clear it, turn the light off, and see if that resolved the issue. It's been a couple weeks and so far, so good. NOT ONLY did they first clear the converter, they found the actual source of my problems, which turned out to be a burnt battery cable. They changed the cable and now the issues I was having actually have been resolved. Thank You Central.

Dave Knecht

Always willing go the extra mile for you, Vehicle has been fixed the first time and quickly and accurate every time. Mike the owner is extremely knowledgeable about the vehicles and is willing to explain it to you in a way that makes sense. I don't see them adding in all this extra stuff many other shops need. Best place in town if you want to work with straight shooters.

Mike E.

Everyone here was extremely friendly and helpful. My daughter and I felt very welcome and they took care of us in a timely fashion. They even recommended a place where I could purchase less expensive tires. I will be back! Thank you!

Barbara A.

I will not take my car anywhere else. They are trustworthy, fast, reliable, affordable, and they do not take advantage of you. They really value you here!

Ashley L.

Central Automotive is the only place I will go. Mike always finds time to fit me in no matter what the issue and keeps me and my fleet on the road. The team of mechanics can handle every situation from oil changes to full engine rebuilds and technical electrical issues. The staff is always friendly and most importantly honest. They understand my schedule and will even go pick up the cars or give me a loaner. Finding an automotive shop that you can trust is hard to find but I always get honest answers on what is worth fixing and what should wait and there is never unnecessary extras or running up the bill. 10 stars wasn't an option or they would get that.

James L.

Best place to get maintenance done! Also the customer service is great.

Joe D.

Great place to get your vehicle diagnosed and repaired.

Rob S.

Knowledgeable, friendly, honest service. Will continue to visit for service. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my vehicle. They even gave me a lift home on the other side of town while doing my repairs. Great place, great people!

M. Schell

My experience was amazing from the start. I called in about a nightmare of an oil leak. I was anticipating them being able to get me in by the afternoon at best, if not the next day, but Doc kindly answered the phone and told me to bring the car in as soon as I could. I brought it in an hour or two later, and they diagnosed the problem in ten minutes. Everyone was very communicative about the issue, and one member of the team even offered to give me a ride to work as it was going to take a couple of hours. Mike ensured that my car would be repaired by the end of the day, even with the several other projects already in line. It was just extremely refreshing to have honest, genuine, caring people providing top quality service. You can bet I'll be going there for my automotive needs from now on. Thank you!!

Theresa C.

Great service, very informative without pressuring me into ramping up my bill. Very fast.

Aaron K.
