I have always found S and S Auto to be highly knowledgeable and professional. I take my car there because I trust I will be treated with honesty and fair pricing for the repairs. Steve's knowledge about cars is amazing!

I have been in Iowa City since 1985. My wife grew up here. It took us a while to find a reliable and trust worthy mechanic but quite a few years ago we tried S & S and have gone here ever since. Steve is a straight shooter and a fantastic mechanic. He will give you an honest assessment of your car without thought of profit. It is rare to find such a person, let alone mechanic these days. If you are looking for a mechanic you can absolutely trust at a fair price look no further. I would give my very highest recommendation to Steve and S & S Auto.Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Battery, Oil change

You will not find a more competent, honest, fair mechanic. He knows cars through and through. He analyzes them efficiently and thoroughly. He is to the point and very genuine. It is such a relief to have found a mechanic of this caliber.Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, Engine repair, Vehicle Inspection, Brakes, Auto tire replacement, Vehicle safety inspectionServices: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, Engine repair, Vehicle Inspection, Brakes, Auto tire replacement, Vehicle safety inspection

I bought a 2006 Subaru from S&S for an extraordinarily high price. But the car was rare and Steve said he'd done a lot of service on it. It all seemed good, but the devil is in the details. Within 100 miles the "check engine" light came on. The car smelled of burning oil after the motor was shut off. The car was rough but had potential. Within 1000 miles after the purchase, the turbocharger grenaded. The drivers seat switch was broken off so the seat couldn't be adjusted. All service records were gone and the car was simply dirty. But it had potential. Steve said he'd rebuilt the turbo but the mechanic at Subaru where I had the turbo replaced said it had never been removed. I don't know how it can be rebuilt without removing it. But I'm not a mechanic. But the Subaru shop is and they are the folks who said it had never been removed.My point here is that i expected much more than what i got for spending a lot of money on a car with 200,000 miles on it. And the only thing i had to rely on was the word of S&S. I believe they did work on it, that they replaced simple parts, but the level of service was not as advertised. I have now spent almost $2000 above the purchase price to make the car right. Literally, it has been in the shop longer than I've been able to drive it. I would not recommend buying a used car from this shop. I am always looking for the positive in people, and I'm sure Steve is a nice guy, but not quite as forthcoming as he makes out to be.

My go to guy, been going to S & S for a very long time, very straightforward, he will tell you, replace this, wait til that breaks; the cost is very similar, and will even suggest, wait til next change if its something not crazy pressing. And if its something he doesn't have the equipment to do the work, he will recommend someone he trusts

Local gem! Steve is the absolute best! I can not say enough about how much I appreciate him, and the numerous great experiences I had with SnS.

I've had Steve work on two of my vehicles. Fair prices, good service, and quick turnaround. I would recommend to others.
