We needed to have the catalytic converter replaced on our 15-year-old Honda Accord. The local…read moredealer had advised us to find somebody else to do the work because he said Honda charges a lot for catalytic converters. We called Tuffy, talked to Todd Williamson, and got what we thought was a reasonable quote, took the car in on the following Saturday, and they were very quick with the replacement. They also caught a few other things that needed attention and we authorized them to go ahead with those. I was very impressed with their professionalism and I highly recommend them.

Cedar Falls Tuffys is the worst auto shop I have ever been to. we had our can towed there because…read moreit wouldn't start. they said it needed a new starter. we got it home and it wouldn't start. we towed it back there, they fixed some wiring to the starter and said we might need a new battery. We got it home and the next time we used it, it didn't start. we called them and they said we need to try to jump it before towing it again, as it must be a defective battery since we didn't get it from them. I said I will NOT be towing it again. We towed it somewhere else and they said it needed a new starter. sparks were flying everywhere from it. Tuffys will NOT stand by their shoddy work.

To start this off, my car needed two new back tires. They were getting in the "potentially illegal"…read morezone because their tread was so worn. (Fun fact! It's illegal in some areas to drive without at least 2/32 of your tread left.) Anyway, my local dealer quoted me $500+ to replace both tires including tire cost and labor cost. For two tires. Ouchies. So, I was pretty quick to run nearly-screaming the other way. After hearing dubious stories about some other tire stores as well as doing some checking into online reviews, the 5th Street Tire Co came up having good reviews. I gave them a call as I wanted a same-day appointment, and they gave me their earliest available time. It was an hour later than I could make it. I asked for an earlier time, and they said "Okay. We'll make it work." Yay! Their quoted price was $350 which was definitely a nice price break compared to what my dealer wanted. They said it would take less than an hour. When it came time for my appointment, I showed up a half-hour earlier just in case they could fit me in earlier. It took a bit of time for someone to show up at the front desk, but once they did, they were super helpful and assured me it'd be next in queue. They have a small waiting area that was showing a soap opera. It's definitely not the "highest" quality of seating or anything, but it was more comfortable than other places I've been, and it was quite and comfortable enough to read a book I'd brought. I did take a short stroll outside, but the nearby residential neighborhood struck me as slightly concerning, so I'm not sure I'd recommend taking a walk unless you're familiar with the neighborhood. Despite dropping it off a half-hour earlier, they still had my tires changed, rotated, and ready within an hour - and get this! It ended up only being $250! I pretty much cut my original quoted price in half, and they did a fantastic job. Throughout the entire process, they were extremely friendly and accommodating, and nobody once tried to upsell me anything. Nobody tried to fake me into purchasing new brakes, getting the oil changed (though that would have been warranted since it's due for a new change in 200 miles), or anything. Nothing about it felt "shady", and I never once felt anything but respected as a customer. Very impressed compared to the horror stories I always hear about tire places. Everyone was courteous, extremely happy to work around my schedule, and really friendly. I'm super, duper happy with my service here, and I will go out of my way to buy tires here again in the future.
