Lyle's Auto Service

Other friends (who recommend him) have used him several time with multiple cars and types of problems.

.

Did a good job, on time, reasonable priced.

lyles and dales in quad cities (Bettendorf) both quoted astronomical prices for repairing a busted steering column, lyles quoted 800 dollars for replacement column plus labor plus trans teardown and rebuild actual quote was about 4,000 dollars. and was given the impression that they did not want to do steering column. so went home found band d auto on the way stoped in explained my problem and he laughed explained that

the job could and would be done for 500 plus 300 to fix trans shift link, 800 total, I also had brakes and radiator replaced plus tune up all for 1,500 even including tip! and yes I happily tipped these guy's! these are good honest folks at band d and no one will ever touch my car but them! as of now I prepaid a stabilizer repair 105 dollars. drop off car on Thursday pick up at lunch same day. no more rattle on bumbs and poor tire ware.
NEED TO AVOID DALES AND LYLES, I NOTICED THEY CATER TO ELDERLY A LOT BUT MIDDLE AGED MEN EVEN IN WHEELCHAIR NOT SO MUCH AND SERIOUS ATTITUDE CHANGE WHEN THEY FOUND OUT I WAS A MECHANIC BEFORE THE WHEELCHAIR, MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH OLD MECHANICS TRICKS OF PADDING BILLS OF THE IGNORANT. OR VULNERABLE. JUST MY OPINION.

I have confidence in him. Lyle will only fix what is needed. I can trust him when I go in with a problem, I don't come out with 3 more things to be fixed. He doesn't fix what isn't broken.

Lyle remembers the cars he works on and warns of items that will need work in the future, say after another 1,000 miles. He anticipates problems but is not aggressive in pushing work.
Lyle does not do complex work on all engines, but you will be told that when you make your appointment.
Lyle's is a very friendly shop.

The snow was starting and this Las Vegas transplant was nervous when my car battery had to be jumped for 2nd time in days. Ran over to Lyle's. He tested the battery and it needed replaced. Because it's an unusual battery, he to have one delivered. Because of my concern in getting home before the snow started accumulating, he had someone rush a battery to him. It was installed in moments and I was on my way. Thanks so much. Great first impression, I will go to Lyle's for my automotive needs.

He was very good.

The service was what I would expect from a small auto shop. I had rotors and brakes replaced all around. No frills but I believe the service quoted was accurate and fair. The work was performed in a professional and timely manner. This was my first visit to Lyle's but I he will get all of my business going forward on my Trailblazer.

Not much to say. Made the appointment, brought it in, and it was done on time, at the price discussed.
Very satisfied with his service.

After taking my car to Car X on Devil's Glen Road in Bettendorf, Iowa, for new tires, balance and alignment Car X said I needed more than $1000 in un-needed repairs. Took my car to Lyle's Auto Service for a second opinion and he said I only needed around $300 worth of work done. Car X wanted to replace front brake rotors, brake pads front, then charges for disc brake hardware, charges for brake fluid and clean lube calipers, new struts and shocks. The new struts and shocks were un-needed pairs that Car X wanted to do for over $1000. Lyle's Auto Service does not do un-needed repairs. Lyle's Auto Service will get my service and I will never be going back to Car X on Devil's Glen Road in Bettendorf, Iowa. Lyle's Auto Service also picked me up and called me when my car was done. I couldn't locate the place and they even located me driving around looking for the place and physically took me to the garage. Thank you Lyle for a job well done. The new brakes are great and I am completely happy with them. They really went above and beyond the call of duty here. Thank you. I highly recommend Lyle's Auto Service.

Excellent job. Figured the problem out quickly and had me back on the road within a day. I will be back to use Lyle's in the future.

I dropped my car off in the morning and left my cell number to call when it was done but was never called. I had to call them to see if my car was finished and it was.

I do not get an oil change from him, because he is a repair shop, and for me I know he is more oriented for car repair than for an oil change. I have been using Lyle for the past 7 years; he is very honest, has lots of integrity and does great work. He demonstrated to us that he is not trying to make too much of money out of this, he will figure out how to do things that might be cheaper for me. I took a car in there to see if he can give me a tune up, and he said that I don't need it, and he said its done only 50000 miles. My daughter's car had a problem with the air conditioning and he put in a new unit, and he said I would just leave it running, and it does not bother anything, the way it is. He demonstrated to us he will probably try to save me money if he could, It is surprising that very often he would tell me that I don't need it right now, his prices are very good.

Lyle was unable to get the shocks I wanted so I ordered my shocks on Amazon and he installed them. He even dropped me off, then picked me up after finishing. As always, the price was right and the job was done perfectly. Lyle's a super mechanic and wonderful, gentle man.

Just don't ask about his family unless your afternoon is open!

Lyle's is a wonderful find in today's society...an honest mechanic. Lyle's shop does not look fancy, but they do good work. On several occasions, Lyle has checked out an issue and the cost was VERY MINIMAL.

Lyle has always been more than fair with me in my auto repairs. If something is recommended by the folks at the quick oil change place, or tire service center, I brign my car to Lyle's. Occasionally, Lyle will tell me that it is unneccesary work, or tell me how to do it myself and save myself some money. Whenever he needs to do the work, he does a great job in a reasonable amount of time, and at a reasonable price.
