Testimonials

On 9/24/2025 Scott had this to say:
Dan emailed me a detailed estimate for what needed to done. During the repair he found a couple of other things that needed attention and sent a text with pictures and a follow up call to explain everything. When he was done the repair bill was just what he said it would be, no surprises.

On 9/21/2025 Sabina Quint had this to say:
Dan goes above and beyond with every visit. I really appreciate that his estimates include photos and videos, so I can clearly see what needs attention and why. His priority is always making sure my vehicle is safe to drive, and I can tell he genuinely cares about his customers’ well-being. On top of that, he’s always learning and expanding his knowledge, which gives me even more confidence that my car is in the best hands. I highly recommend his shop to anyone looking for an honest and thorough mechanic.

On 8/6/2025 Adin Herr had this to say:
We traveled to Manchester from out of town to look at a used car from a dealer. We needed someone to look things over. He was happy to look it over without us making an appointment, and charged us a fair price to look everything over. The staff was super friendly and thorough in their inspection! We were super thankful and avoided a car that wasn't worth us buying. He found about a dozen things that dealer didn't want us to notice. I value a mechanic with high integrity and doesn't take shortcuts--this guy will treat you right!

On 7/12/2025 Anna Smith had this to say:
Thomsen is the only place we take our vehicles to. Dan always keeps us informed on what’s going on. I love his text service that breaks down exactly what is needed and the price of it. If you’re looking for a good mechanic, this is who you need to go to!

Excellent experience with a big repair on an older F150. Drove from Cedar Rapids and it was well worth it.
