Economy Auto Repair

My car is very old and I hate taking it to the shop because every time I go there are about a million things wrong. As a woman who knows nothing about cars I get worried I’m going to be over charged. The people working here made me very comfortable and took me into the shop to actually see what was wrong with my car. I got one of the things fixed and decided to come back to fix the others. They gave me a quote for how much it would cost to fix the others. My car started acting worse, I called and they got me in the next day and stayed true to the estimate. Something else ended up needing to be replaced and they fixed it free of charge and even brought my keys to me at work! I work right next door but they went out of their way to give me my car before close! I’m so grateful for their customer service. I will never bring my car anywhere else. They made me feel so comfortable. Thank you to all the workers!

I've had several repairs done there recently and have been impressed with the quality of work, the repairs were on-time, the price reasonable, and they always select good quality (similar to original) parts. Economy's location is convenient, too. I'd give them 6 stars if possible.

Great service and knowledgeable about all cars. I highly recommend them!

I called to have my car looked at he got it in right away. Gary was very upfront and made me understand everything. Very good communication. He took care of my needs and he just got a customer for life.

They treat me too good, they're honest. They'll tell you whether it's worth fix in or not.

Great place. Gary and crew are honest and do great work!

Gary and team was great to work with...very honest, professional and helped resolve an issue with the starter on my Traverse that the dealership did not fix correctly. My Traverse starts right up amazingly now! Appreciate the direct feedback through multiple phone calls as they narrowed down the problem. They also went the extra mile to expedite repairs so I could get my vehicle back on the road quickly and make it to my grandmothers funeral. I also appreciated the practical advice on simple cost effective things that can be done to extend the life of key engine components on my vehicle. Highly recommend!

Brian and Gary helped us when our RV would not start. We were traveling from Colorado and needed emergency help. They were awesome to diagnose the problem and get us on the road. We so appreciated the care they provided to our vehicle and family. Truly an excellent business!

I’ve been going here for a few years now. I will NEVER go anywhere else. I absolutely love it here. Not only have I noticed my suv not having to need many repairs, they do an outstanding job. And not to mention you will never find a good mechanic like these guys.

I've dealt with Greg numerous times. He is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. They stand by their work. Won't go anywhere else.

Gary and his staff always do a great job every time we bring the cars in. Just got the F-150 back after a tune up and is running great. Thanks guys appreciate the work.

I just had my AC system repaired with Economy Auto Repair a few days ago. Very satisfied with the turnaround time and fair pricing. A big shout-out to Gary for being very helpful and informative about the troubleshooting process! With that transparency, I feel the extra effort was put into to identify the exact problem to make sure I wasn't paying for repairs/replacement that I didn't need. Will definitely do business here again.

I recommend 100% this place, I recently went because I am going on a very long trip with my car and they are the only ones (and I know many mechanics and places) I really trust. They have well maintained my VW Jetta and I know, many mechanics are not comfortable fixing VW. They have been very accommodating with service dates too; when I had an emergency, they try the best to help me right away. About price, I think is in the right price, very honest with what they do and they do not tell lies about your car needing more stuff than the real thing. At least, this has been my experience with them so far.

Economy Auto Repair is truly your discount option. The quality is as good as the dealer with a price that's far less. I appreciated the time they took to explain the problem and what they were doing about it. They let me know about other issues they saw, but didn't push hard on those. Felt like I was getting just the repairs that were necessary.

The entire crew at Economy Auto Repair was friendly and professional. They were able to get me in and out quick (and it was no simple repair!) and the final charge was more than fair and exactly as quoted. These guys are proper professionals and I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in need of a car repair.

The Team at Economy Auto is the best I have come across. Gary & Brian are extremely educated, honest, and efficient. I have gotten an oil change, wiper blade repair, and other interior services and they get the job done while also saving you the cost you may see elsewhere. I feel safe when visiting Economy Auto and would refer them to anyone in the area.

I would definitely recommend economy auto. Gary and Brian are very professional and easy to work with. They did a complete engine replacement and a new rack and pinion for me. All communication was very clear and honest throughout the whole process, and my car literally ran like new when I got it back.

We have been doing business with Economy Auto for over 7 years. I appreciate the quality of work and the owners' high level of integrity. They will tell you what is wrong and if the value of the car is worth the value of the repair. If they find issues of concern other than what you brought it in for, they will bring it to your attention without the high pressure sales. They prioritize: what needs to be fixed now, what can wait, and what can be disregarded. Honesty, Value, Excellent Customer Service, Locally Owned and Operated. Who doesn't want an honest mechanic!!!

I haven't had to have my car repaired in years (thankfully), but this morning my car started having an issue starting. I called around 5-6 places in Cedar Rapids/Marion for a quote/time frame to get my car in. Economy Auto Repair was the only place that not only didn't want to charge me a huge fee for an estimate, but could also get me in right away. I called at noon, had my car in at 2, and picked it up repaired by 5. I also didn't get a laundry list of expensive "maintenance" that needed to be done like I am given every time I get an oil change. VERY impressed, and I will definitely recommend!!

I recently had a fuel pump repair at Economy Auto, they fixed my Chevy for half of what it would have cost elsewhere. Mechanic was very clear and thorough in explaining my options and what was wrong with my vehicle. In addition, they got the job done in 2 days. Very pleased. Would recommend.
