My plan was to get a quick oil change at the neighboring LOF Express. It's newer. It has received…read morevoter choice awards from the Ames Daily Tribune and the Iowa State Daily. But the line! It was long and my time was short. Jiffy Lube it was. I had a good experience at Jiffy Lube. No line whatsoever. The entrance was a little confusing, with an emphasis on where to go for a car wash. Just drive up to the service bay. There was also a little confusion over whether they had 0W-20 oil. They did. I also understand that selling tire rotations and the like is part of the Jiffy Lube business strategy, but I greatly appreciated that they quickly stopped when I expressed no interest. I asked if there was a coupon I should know about. They indicated they didn't think so. A bit misleading. Thanks Yelper Dustin A. for posting a link to the Ames Jiffy Lube site ($7.25 off). I almost didn't have time to find the coupon. Service was so fast! I also received a voucher for a free car wash at check out. Not bad. I can't speak to whether LOF Express is a better option. It's certainly newer, more popular and different. But when the lines there are long, Jiffy Lube remains a serviceable alternative.

Me and my dad replaced all speakers in the vehicle after I purchased it, I've had them for years and they worked just fine. The speakers are built to support heavy base and high decibels, my speaker would not sound how it does today if I did not take my vehicle to campus garage. Furthermore, a couple years ago I took my vehicle to campus garage because it was leaking oil. They told me my radiator was busted and needed replacing immediately, not true. Antifreeze is green oil is not green. (The misdiagnosis was confirmed incorrect by the dealership). I should've known to not to take my vehicle there again no matter how much time has passed. But, when you're desperate it calls for desperate measures. I do not recommended campus garage.

I dropped my car off on a Tuesday at 8 AM, which was scheduled the previous Wednesday. I requested…read morea tire rotation, a front and rear wheel alignment, and a flush of the A/C drain unit. I was told to expect my vehicle to be restored within a few hours. Five hours passed, and I called CarX asking about the status of my vehicle. I was told: "Your A/C was fixed and running perfectly, the front alignment is complete, we're working on the rear alignment." I was also told that minimal time was needed to resolve the remaining issues. 3.5 hours had passed, and I contacted CarX again. The mechanic said they needed 30 minutes and that the car would be complete, so I commuted to the shop. I was told the mechanic was having an issue with a rear alignment bolt and given the option to take my vehicle because I had work. At that point, I took my vehicle because if they wanted to fix it, they had 8.5 hours to do so. I was told to bring my car back so the work can be completed. My vehicle will never visit CarX again. Upon receiving my vehicle, I immediately turned on my A/C, it did not work, and my front wheel alignment was still faulty. They did not rotate my tires, they did not complete the rear wheel alignment, and they did not flush the A/C drain unit. My car was the same condition when I dropped it off that morning. It sucks because I was told these things were complete. I do not recommend CarX. I pray the mechanics are truthful with all clients and complete the work they say they will do. It is neither right nor fun to drive 6+ hours with NO A/C during the hottest time of year. I trusted CarX, and I was let down.
