Pulled into Sioux City on the first night of a five night road trip. I noticed as I got off the freeway that there were some pretty awful sounds coming from my front driver side wheel. I knew it was a bad wheel bearing, but couldnt do anything about it that night. The following morning I called around a bit, but as it was the day after Memorial Day most places were understandably busy. Still, Certified Auto was able to get me in immediately. They gave me accurate estimates of both price and time up front, and completed the work even faster than promised. They are true professionals, and turned what could have been a trip wrecker into a relatively minor inconvenience.

STUART & HIS STAFF ALWAYS DO A FANTASTIC JOB. THEYRE UPFRONT IN DISCUSSING ALL REPAIRS/SERVICE. THEYRE ALWAYS PROMPT WITH ALL REPAIRS/SERVICE AS WELL. I APPRECIATE HOW THEYVE HANDLED OUR ACCOUNT FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS. YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH CERTIFIED AUTO!!

This place is amazing to say the least. I am always one to question mechanics, as I am a young woman and most mechanics know they can fool me easily. I always call around for pricing and check on the issues myself before agreeing to anything. My power steering went out in my vehicle, and as I have electric steering, this is not a cheap fix. I called around, and this place was the only place that would fix my car for an amount that wouldn’t end up in me having to trash the car completely. I explained that I only had a certain amount of money, and was told a price only a tad higher, but I needed my car fixed so I said yes. I went to pick up my car when it was finished, and not only was my car in amazing condition, running way better than it even did when I even bought the thing, but they had charged me significantly less than I was told to expect on the phone call. Not only do they do amazing work, but they are kind and understanding people. They will continue to get my business, and I don’t want to take my vehicle anywhere else! Thank you guys! :)

Always up front and honest. Knowledgeable staff. Great work and very reasonably priced.

Anytime Ive needed work done on my vehicles or just calling & asking questions, Stew is there & ready to help me!

If you want someone to take pride in your car and repair it the way it’s supposed to be repaired, take your car to certified auto. Best place in town in my opinion. Very honest and they don’t screw you over or charge too much.

We called to have them look at my vehicle as 2 warning lights were coming on. It took 6 days to get an appt -- and when we finally brought it in for our appt they didnt even look at it until the afternoon and WE had to call THEM to ask what was going on. We got the impression they hadnt even touched it yet -- and then they didnt even do diagnostics on why the warning lights even though that was why we scheduled the appt. VERY POOR SERVICE!!!!

I dont hate Certified Automotive Repair, only went there to schedule an appointment for repair work.

Quick, easy, knowledgeable, friendly, and fair pricing.

They worked with the Wounded Warrior/Operation Homefront to repair my vehicle. Which was a great help to me and my family.

NO NO NOHonestly I’m really mad. I went here before to have a fuel pump replaced and they charged me $900. I went back to them with my current car and current problem because they were 2 blocks from my job so it seemed convenient.Not only did they charge me $83 for an estimate (they charged me for hooking the car up to the computer which I could have done for FREE at o’Riley’s or auto zone) but they gave me an estimate of $843!!!I went to 2 other shops who both said they were over charging me. Needless to say I have an appointment at another shop who gave me an estimate of under $300.I am a young mother and I don’t appreciate being taken advantage of because my lack of knowledge when it comes to cars . This is robbery !!! They are bogus. I wrote this review instead of going in there and cussing everyone out . Please go somewhere else .

Went above and beyond to locate and return a priceless Keychain, Fast friendly and] knowledgeable service...

Great service Stu is an old school business man who won’t Bs u on ur service and he never over charges for parts or services they don’t make honest men like him anymore that’s for sure

Great service, reasonable price. Only reason not to give five, is the overcooked attempt at upsell, on additional services that could wait.

I can trust them. Been going there for a few years.

Would not take my vehicle to any other place. The staff is very helpful and courteous. They do care about your vehicle and give great service!!

Great service & very friendly. I will go back for sure!!

Nice people,and good affordable prices

I have now taken 2 of our vehicles to certified..i love their customer service and always feel they are honest with my repairs and quotes.will continue to take my vehicles there

From the very 1st call to leaving it was a positive experience .We will be using them again as needed

Stu is the BestHonest and Great Service

Called to see if they could get a cold air intake installed on my 2020 Toyota Avalon TRD. Initially said they could do it. When I told them I had the new part in the box (which was very hard to find due to COVID shortages), they stated they would not do it with my parts. I can understand wanting to make a couple extra bucks on (which is usually a lot more than a couple extra bucks), but this is a special order item that is not going to be found locally. In fact, had to wait some time for it to be shipped to here.Next time simply state you will not perform labor only on a car.

Always friendly get the repair done right

We were heading home and had some truck problems. We found this place and got us in right way and back on the road in no time. We highly recommend them to anyone

Fair prices and knowledgeable staff!

Certified Auto is the Best!!!!! Ive been bringing cares to Certified Auto for over 25 years. From Oil Changes to Engine replacements. Certified Auto gives you the skills of a Dealership Service Department without their labor rate. I recommend Certified Auto for all you repair needs from domestic to import.

No masks on anyone. Will not go back.

I bought my first car from Stu awhile back and let me tell you that it was one of the best cars for the price, it runs amazing! As for customer service and the work he and his mechanics do, it is top of the line. He and he crew always do an amazing job for the price. Not to mention Stu is trustworthy with what he does. Stu tells it like it is and will not try and sell you something you do not need. Stu and his crew at Certified Auto Repair will always get the job done and do fantastic work.

Highly recommend!! You definitely get the feeling that they are serious mechanics that know what theyre doing, and thats coming from a guy who normally does his own repairs and has a family of wrench heads. Several staff members have been there a decade or more. The front desk staff is sharp as a tack and very kind.

Hands down, the best service I have ever had with my vehicles. Walked in with a potential major problem with my car. Not only did they save me hundreds of dollars from mis-information through another business, they got me in ASAP, and car was done less than a hour. A friend mentioned them once to me as I drove by. Figured I stop by to talk. Best decision I made. I am not the one to do reviews good or bad, but this deserves recognition. Thank you guys for outstanding business. You gained a customer for life.

I would highly recommend. They are trustworthy and professional.

I’ve had nothing but great service from Certified Auto. Great customer service very reliable on time. Also very reasonably priced. Hands down best repair shop in town

The staff is always friendly and helpful. Ive been in town for 15 years, and have had my share of car trouble. Ive tried others, but Certified is the only shop that has proven trustworthy and fair. So now they are the only place I go for repairs and maintenance.

I recommend people all the time to get work done there. Super fast and reliable.

Great, honest, affordable, reliable service! Highly recommend them!

Excellent work! My family and I have been customers for 23 years and we would not take our cars any where else. Great service is always given to men or women. I highly recommend Certified Auto Repair to everyone.

Been taking my cars here for years. Love all the employees. Friendly, honest.

The people at certified auto listened to me as far as the problem I had with my car. They quickly diagnosed the problem, they fixed it and I felt it was very reasonable! Thanks certified auto for your honesty !!

Absolutely wonderful service, fair pricing, and more than willing to work with you. Could not recommend more! Stu took his time to explain what was wrong in laymans terms and was quick to respond to phone calls and very patient! Will definitely continuing to go to him for all of our car needs.

Extremely satisfied with the professionalism of service performed by the entire staff. From the time I first meet with the office staff until my vehicle has been repaired by the mechanics.

Certified Auto is a top notch dealer. If they dont have what you want they will find it for you. The salesman was a great guy to deal with. I would definitely recommend them.

Had our car in twice at other garages for same problem. Brought it into Certified Auto Repair and it was fixed right, and the first time. Excellent service and they fixed the car! Found them using google and the associated reviews. I thought I would return the favor to someone else looking for a fair garage that actually fixes the problem. Thanks again!

Every time I bring my car to certified auto . I have a wonderful experience! Fast and friendly and lower prices then most places. Thank you

Awesome staff! Helpful courteous overall great experience. Had radiator flushed. They were busy and still accommodated me with a walk in.

Fast friendly and affordable service

Have purchased 3 cars from Certified Auto. Always great price and dependable cars. Best place in town to buy a used car.

Have been taking our vehicles here for years. Awesome service and would highly recommend them!

Great work at a reasonable price.

Arnie is super,he help me with the financing got me a great intrest rate.I was driving me new car within 2 hours.I will return.Thanks Arnie!

Took them a week to fix my car! Was never done on the day they said it would be and the ladies in the office were rude! Not going back!!

They do great work. They will have my future business as well.

Arnie Bush is one heck of a guy. Honest, and fun to work with. Highly recommend!

I dont know what happened to this place but customer service must have gone downhill. The front receptionist was very rude to my son and I and to anyone who walked in. She would laugh obnoxiously loud with co-workers about inappropriate things. Its a tiny waiting room so its crammed. Then the older man, balding white hair, was looking over my car and came out to tell me that my brakes and rotators were messed up because of excessive use, trying to play the blame game on whos fault it was, because many people drive the car, saying that they shouldnt have a license or be driving. Its an old car but he instantly went to disrespecting the owner. Will not be coming back here ever and I advise anyone who wants good friendly service to stay far away from here as well.

I have been bringing my vehicles to Certified Auto for many years have also bought vehicles here have had excellent customer service and will continue to use there services for a long time to come.

Very trustworthy I only trust my cars with Stu. Reasonable prices. And staff is kind knowledgeable and fast.

Honest, efficient and good folks working here.

Nice staff.

Always good friendly service!

Great service. Walk in without an appointment, repaired my AC the same day. Very professional staff.

I brought my car in and I told him before he fixes anything to call me first I did not give him permission to fix my car so I am not going to pay him for something I did not give him the ok to do

Honest owner and gals in office are super

Reccomend their service

Good work,good estimates

You would be wise to take your car here for repair. Stu and his entire staff are very professional. My car has never run better thanks to the care of Certified Auto Repair.

Nice place

Friendly staff.

Very professional!

No one there

Untrustworthy.

Scam.
