John and crew,ate THE BEST. There are 2 service providers which are critical and hard to find as trustworthy....a good HVAC company and an auto repair company. I would take our vehicles to no one but McManus. They are ALWAYS fair. If it doesn't need fixed...they tell you!! I'd have no trouble recommending them to anyone and do frequently. If you live in Des Moines...Altoona is worth the drive.

We've used McManus for a number of years and every single time, it's been a total satisfaction experience. We'd had an issue with a car that shimmied and found a faulty part in the rear end. It also ruined a set of tires. John/Bill are always so good at calling before they do anything and make sure we know the costs. It's been repaired and drives like a new car. I bought the previous set of tires at Costco because I could save $10/tire, but found out 15K miles later, they didn't check the alignment (and didn't tell us they to have that done) therefore the tires wore out way too soon and ended up costing us much more than the $10/tire. McManus has put tires on our other vehicles in the past and ALWAYS asks if we want it aligned. I will now quit taking short cuts and go to McManus for EVERYTHING.

Not much to tell other than they got to it the next day, did the work without problems and did it for what they estimated. All in all a very good experience which has been the case any time I have had them do auto work for me.

They are superb. They spent five hours searching for the problem but could not find it. They did not charge me for this labor. Every time I go there I interact with a person named John. They work on any problem regarding four wheelers. I have no problem with them at all.
