Eight lines of work from one shop on Oakwood Drive in Urbandale, serving drivers from Des Moines, Johnston and Grimes. Find the line that matches what your car is doing, or call (515) 270-2096 and describe it.
Pads, shoes, rotors and fluid, plus ABS, traction control and electronic parking brake service, road tested before you leave.
Wear gets checked, fluid levels get checked, and the job ends on the road. Cars with ABS, traction control or an electronic parking brake come into the same bay.

That check engine light, read properly: ignition timing, sensors, crank and cam position, transmission and ABS faults. Vehicle programming available.
A check engine light is a question, not an answer. We read what the car reports, then work out what it is actually doing, on late-model cars and on pre-computer ones too.

Overhauls done the long way: pulled, torn down, inspected, resealed with new rings, valves and bearings, then tested. Replacement when that makes more sense.
A full overhaul means the engine comes out, comes apart and gets inspected piece by piece. You are kept updated at every step, and when replacement makes more sense than rebuilding, we say so.
Read the engines pageTransmissions, climate control, tires, towing and routine maintenance, each with its own page.
Service and overhauls on manual and automatic transmissions, all makes and models, in bays big enough for RVs and buses.
Leak checks, compressors, condensers, evaporators and recharges, including 1234YF, plus heater cores, thermostats and blend doors for Iowa winters.
Michelin, BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Uniroyal, Continental and Kumho, plus flat repairs, rotation, balancing, four-wheel alignment and rim replacement.
Damage-free towing by wheel lift or flatbed, light and medium duty, local or long distance. Jump-starts, lockouts, tire changes and winch recovery.
Oil changes, tune-ups, factory-recommended maintenance, timing belts, alignment and rotation, wipers, and a free vacation car check with any service.
Everything on this page happens under one roof at 5900 Oakwood Dr in Urbandale, where the Jimmerson family has run the shop since 1987.
Drivers from Des Moines, Johnston and Grimes bring us tires, transmissions, brake jobs and breakdowns. The towing trucks deliver straight to the same bays, so a car that cannot make it here under its own power does not have to be moved twice.
Appointments are recommended. We are open Monday to Friday 7 AM to 9 PM and Saturday 7 AM to 6 PM, closed Sunday.
