An oil change took less than ten minutes. The mechanics also made sure we had a cab light and replaced the light for the license plate for free, in addition to their complementary service of checking the radiator, brake fluid, window solvent, belts, differential, battery, tire pressure, wiper blades, lights, power steering fluid, oil filters, and air filters. They were fast, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend them for your automotive needs!

Tim and the team were super friendly. The lobby is clean and comfortable so you can relax while you wait on your oil change. Quick, knowledgeable, and super convenient location. Great service overall!!!

Went for the first time for oil change. Pretty happy with them, were courteous, helpful and quick. Also they checked (and filled) window solvent, brake fluid, battery, tire pressure and a few other things as well, which I appreciated. I will come here again next time for oil change, and possibly for other car-related needs. ThanksService: Oil changeService: Oil change

The best oil change experience-ever! Thoughtful, courteous, quick, clean and reasonably priced. I discover the other half of business is a full-fledged mechanical shop with the same phenomenal attitude. Grateful for the experience.Service: Oil changeService: Oil change

Fixed rear brake pads and rotors for the price he estimated @$395 which was the lowest I found in town by a few dollars. Competitive and honest. Tim was friendly and professional. Highly recommend. Will be a long time customerServices: Brakes, Oil changeServices: Brakes, Oil change

May not look like much from the outside and where it s located but man, they do great work. Both times I ve been there (both mine and my wife s cars) and the guys are quick and honest. Actually told me I d be good getting no service fo 20-30k miles and there would be no charge for looking at it. If they keep treating their other customers like they did me they will continue to have a thriving business.

Tim is a great and fair tech. I called a lot of other shops for a diesel engine oil change they all wanted way more then the Granger dealership. I called Tim and he said he could do it for the same price as the dealership, he is about 2 miles from my house right in town and the same price score. I have had him do a few more things since then but have taken my vehicles to him since then for quick work.

Owner Tim and his team (Doug, Larry, Jake, Ryan) are the best in Des Moines. Honest, hard working people that are excellent at their profession. If you want an honest opinion or work done on your vehicle, Budget Brake is an outstanding choice.Services: Tires, Brakes, Oil changeServices: Tires, Brakes, Oil change

I am not often motivated to write a review however I wanted to be sure to write one because Tim and the team did a wonderful job. Outstanding customer service and they made it so easy to understand the work, the costs and the schedule. Thanks Tim!Service: BrakesService: Brakes

Writing these as Tim services my vehicle. Coming from another state it is hard to find someone as reliable and professional as him. No up sales here just got to the point and perfect pricing. Definitely will recommend it here !

I noticed my brakes were grinding and I couldn't go any longer without getting them replaced. I called at 8:30am and they were able to squeeze me in for same day service. It was extremely affordable and all of the staff were friendly. I will be returning and referring friends as well.Service: BrakesService: Brakes

Amazingly flawless! Clean shop, clean lounge and great customer service. Tim and the guys are absolutely great mechanics. I use to wrench back in Chicago and these guys did everything properly and honestly. I will continue to bring my vehicles to Tim and the guys!!

Did temporary fixes that didn t work and cause more problems that need to be fixedI called to see if they work on mini coopers and they said yes. I said I have a coolant leak. I have been told the thermostat housing was cracked and needed to be replaced(dealer $860). They said they could fix the leak with an O ring $126. I said Great! The next morning there was still a puddle of fluid under my car. Took it back, they said yeah the thermostat housing $542. Ok fine. I take it in, they take my car all apart then say they can t find the right part, put it back together broken and give it back(8hr appt). They get the right part and another (8hr appt)I pick it up the check engine light is still on, he rest it and told me it was a fluke, some electrical error. It comes back on. He said they had problems with the wiring harnesses old one and a new one bring it back for them to look at it and they can t figure out what the problem is, they need to send it to a friend s garage. Another 8 hr appt for them to look at the check engine light and say it has Ann electrical problem, they will need to look at it another day. Another 6 hr appt for them to tell me it s going to cost another $400 to fix the issue . We are WAY over what it would have cost to have the dealer fix it. Tim at budget break said we didn t do anything wrong and we won t pay for it to be fixed. The only time I would go back is to pick up a refund!! So many trips there and SO disappointed!!

Changed my oil 6 months ago. When I had it changed at a different place, they showed me the drain plug was loose and stripped ,dripped oil. Don t know why they wouldn t replace a faulty drain plug at Budget Brake. Not sure I will go back. I ll stop using them for relatives also.Service: Oil changeService: Oil change

Mr. Tim has been working on all of my families cars since I was a kid. I love the way that him and the other employees are so kind to my grandparents whenever they take their car to be worked on. Best customer service that I have ever received anywhere in the metro!

Great guys. I found them through my job, we take all of our fleet vehicles there. Super fast service without the b.s. upsales. I'd send my wife there, alone, without hesitation.THREE YEARS LATER - Still an awesome business and they have something called integrity.

We have used Budget Brake on many different occasions, as we own a mechanic shop but do not have an alignment rack. We use them whenever we need an alignment done. Never had any issues with Tim or his staff. They are ALWAYS very friendly, and professional. From one small business owner to another, Keep up the good work!!! You guys are GREAT!!!!McCannic's Garage

I've been coming her for years now. They are always honest and helpful. I've been to other spots and the service just didn't compare. Won't be going anywhere else unless I have too. Sometimes, as a women, it feels like people are trying to pull a fast one on me, but not here.

Great feeling of this automotive repair shop. Clean and we'll organized. They have good communication during the process and fair in price. It's a place I would send my daughters to maintain their vehicles.

Worse place to take your car to. The guy is a scam. He replaced the wrong part and charged me $500 for it then when I told him to fix what I took the car to him for he says that they can t fix it there. Didn t return my money. I don t recommend them to anyone. These are the kind of guys you take your car to get fixed and then drive off with more problems.Service: Steering & suspension repair
