Acheson's team worked on my truck that needed some cosmetic repairs done and they took good care of me. They communicated incredibly well with messages at each step through the repair process and got my vehicle in/out 4 days earlier than expected. The truck looks quite literally brand new and couldn't be happier. Thank you to the Acheson team for your excellent work. If the need arises again, I will certainly be back. Thanks!

Excellent, reliable & trustworthy service. The work was performed on my daughter's car at my request. I live 90min away. They kept me fully informed on the requested work & discussed a couple of issues that were discovered during their inspection. All repairs were completed quickly & to a very high standard.

Years ago Acheson Auto Works was recommended by an acquaintance. I'm glad I took their advice as since then, Acheson has taken great care of my vehicles and treated me fairly, clearly explaining what is being done. Tim and Larry have been especially helpful. I don't think it's a complete coincidence that my older vehicle has given me relatively few problems over the years. So let me pass along the advice I received years ago and recommend Acheson.

Acheson Auto Works is the BEST!! They are very diligent in finding out what is wrong with a vehicle. They took the time to test drive our Silverado three times the same day to make sure it was running correctly! We really appreciate the work they do! They know what they are doing and leave no stone unturned!!

I really like the staff here, they are so accommodating with everything that we have required for our vehicles. I have taken multiple vehicles to them over the last 15 years. The facility is very clean. Every question that I have had was very promptly answered in a very professional manner that was phrased so that I didn't feel like the staff was talking to me in a way that I would feel ignorant or even like I should know what something was. I can't say they are the cheapest in town but they are dealership quality without the dealership price.

I ve taken my truck to several places around Des Moines over the years but I ve found Acheson has the best customer service and I trust them with my vehicle. They re very knowledgeable and take the time to explain the issues, often times in great detail if you re interested.

It wasn't until earlier this year I was introduced to Acheson on the recommendation of my friends. So far Acheson has been professional to an outstanding degree. I barely know a thing when it comes to auto-repair. They are clear on what they recommend to be repaired, replaced, or can be left alone for the time being. They were even able to explain what each repairable part did for my vehicle. It was extremely helpful in deciding what to have them start making repairs on. They may be a little pricier than some other places but that's because Acheson is full of professionals who know what they are doing and you can rest assured that after you bring your vehicle in to them that you'll leave satisfied and with a lighter weight on your mind. 5/5 they deserve the gold star in every category and they've made a customer for life.Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto brake repair, Vehicle Inspection, Transmission repair, Brakes, Auto maintenance, Auto brake replacement

Tim and the guys in the shop are always on it, willing and able to go above and beyond. I don't go here for every service, usually because of my own schedule not working out sufficiently to get onto theirs but I've always been extremely satisfied with the level of service here. Highly recommend!

I m pretty picky about my cars and the people at Acheson care about providing quality work for a fair price. I won t take any of my cars elsewhere, whether for mechanical or body repairs. They have a solid business model that s been in place for a long time.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Vehicle InspectionServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Vehicle Inspection

I m so relieved to have finally found a professional, honest, and friendly shop to bring my car to. I ve now been in three times (separate cars and issues) and each time the front desk and mechanics have been extremely helpful. This last time I went in because my A/C wasn t working. They let me know it would be $225 to go through it to find the issue. I got a call later and it turned out that during a previous repair the compressor wasn t plugged back in all the way. They charged me nothing! And the rate on my past repairs was reasonable when compared to other nearby shops. Acheson has the best service and I will definitely keep coming back.

I have been using Acheson for years. They are trustworthy which is the most important to me since I know nothing about cars. They always show me why something should be done. They work with my warranty company and I have never had to play middle man. Tim is absolutely the nicest guy and always takes time to make sure I understand the work that is being done and what it will cost. I have never gotten a surprise charge for anything. I will never go anywhere else. Most reliable in town for sure!!!

I posted the below review some time ago. NOTHING has changed, except the service might even be better.. Today was no different. Do yourself a favor and the the good folks at Acheson make caring for your cars easy. Cars, yes plural.Every time I get to deal with the folks at Acheson, it is a pleasure. From the greeting as I enter, to scheduling the work, and finally receiving service and support, I am always treated kindly, quickly and with courtesy. Tim is as good as they come at very technical explanations. Haley at the desk as I enter, is cheerful, helpful and efficient. The entire visit was outstanding. I wish Acheson's had control over special parts delivery. They do not. The parts are always installed perfectly with no complaints ever from me. Keep the good work going. And, by the way, call them now so you can be as satisfied as I am with auto repair, with body and mechanical.Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Oil change
