I have a lot of good things to say about Overdrive Auto. This is an excellent local business with both friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have always had a great experience, whether for a quick oil change, or for recent diagnostic/problem solving work with my car. They saw me quickly, fixed the problem, and the price was excellent. It would have taken significantly longer to even be seen at the dealership, much less have the problem fixed.Excellent service, and prices. Highly recommended. I still feel this way after multiple oil changes, brake services, and some work on my wheels. Really good shop.

So impressed with the amazing job Shawn and his son and crew did installing a new engine in my truck. The price was very fair and the job was done in great time. Shawn was very good keeping me updated the whole time they did the work. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop to anyone.Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

I purchased a vehicle back in September (Kia Sorento 2005). I love the vehicle and Sean and his team are fabulous, honest and don't charge an arm and a leg for repairs. The only place I will take my vehicles.

The guys at Overdrive did a great job of diagnosing the issues on my 7.3 l powerstroke and getting it back on the road. They're one of the only local shops that work on diesels and know what they're doing using the appropriate parts.

Great to work with, it's hard for me to trust people with my vehicles and at fair price! He sometimes has vehicles for sale. And i was able to trade in, and put some cash with it. To get a car that I liked better! And I could trust that he wouldn't sell me junk for the price I paid! Witch was Not bad At all!!! Years of experience!! Family owned and ran with his Sons! Just over all a good mechanics!

I had my car towed by Overdrive Auto and they did an excellent job for a fair price. Their driver, Remington, was extremely friendly and helpful by going above and beyond to make sure the car was left where I wanted it and was considerate of my yard.

Overdrive Auto is my only choice in automotive repair and service. Shawn and Remington are my mechanics and have been keeping me safe on the road for over 5 years now. They have taken on all of my jobs from as little as an oil change to rebuilding a motor. I have all of my work trucks maintained and repaired here. Many big jobs. And as of recent I had them do a lift kit and a custom front end conversion on one of my favorite superdutys. Amazing work and I couldnt have asked for better. Great people. Great prices. My only choice.

This place has been my first choice. They are honest and have solved and issue with my car that 2 other places did not. They did body work, internal work and honored the warranty free of charge.

Really know autos especially if you have an older one. They don't gouge you if you have an emergency but get your car fixed and get you back on the road. They have worked on my car many times now over many years and I have found them to be honest and trustworthy.

I went to overdrive auto after going to another shop that had told me I need ball joints and wheel bearings, for a second opinion and the only problem was a rock stuck in the spindle making a noise... I am very happy with how honest they were with me...

This has to be the worst auto repair shop in Iowa City. I dropped my car off, to find that they don't care about customers car. After the repair was done it was parked a block down the street with the key left in the ignition and doors left unlocked. When I get my car found it found that someone stole stuff from my car.
