My granddaughter got ripped off by them. She had re5pairs done paying triple for a part. After 2mo the problem came back and they would not do anything except charge her for more diagnostics and repairs. I do not recommend these guys as they took advantage of a young girl. read more

incredible service at Veldman's! Our car broke down traveling through South Bend on the way home from Chicago and they were so nice and accommodating and fit us in for a repair even though they were super busy with appointments already. They had a replacement part and our car ready to go the next day! Super nice people - we highly recommend this shop!!! read more

Recently scheduled an appointment for an alignment and was told 3-4 hours at the maximum for a really bad alignment. My car was dropped off at 8:30 am as requested and was not even inspected until 3:00 pm after i asked for a rush to be put on the job (6 hours later). The alignment was not completed and i was still charged for an inspection, after asking why I was being charged, i overheard one of the mechanics saying he would sabotage someone's car systems (he said cruise control and something else) because of attitude they received from the customer. I would not recommend taking your car here unless you sit in the lobby waiting for it, or else it'll be the last thing they get done that day. I would take my business and time elsewhere. read more

I had a tire that I thought was bad end up being a valve stem so we both thought. I woke up the next morning and had a flat tire again. Now this was going on during a snowstorm and now Saturday morning with a light crew add a very full schedule. I called them and they told me to bring it straight in. They will drop what they're doing and fix my tire for nothing. What really great about this place is that I had a bad valve stem plus I had a nail in my tire they took the tire put a patch in it and I like the business and I tell people to try them out for work to be done on their vehicles they do know how to make customers happy very polite read more

You can always count on outstanding service by their friendly and highly professional team.

What an amazing place. My husband needed help with a tire problem and couldn't get there until 5 minutes before the techs were due to leave. They were happy to help and the technician happily stayed after hours to make sure my husband could get back on the road safely. We don't live nearby but I would highly recommend Veldman's and would love for you to support this local business. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! read more

Made an appointment at this place a week in advance took 2 weeks to get my car fixed , no one has a month to wait to have their car to get fixed , read more

Truly the last of the best Veldmans has been my entire family go gas and service place since the days of attendant served gas an window was 50 plus years here for myself an many more im sure Great Work Guys not what you do but how Honest, Professional, Dependable 100% read more

Was referred here by Amerigas who doesn't have employees who can fill propane. Hmm. Anyhow, a quick call over to confirm they'd fill my tanks for my camper and I was in and out in no time. Courteous staff and a fair price. Who would have thought the local service center would save me from being without heat. Thanks y'all! read more

I hit a huge pothole right off of the Mayflower bypass exit going North. Even though it was 15 minutes to closing, they got me towed in right away, put on my spare and had me on my way quickly. The next day they got me a new to me rim, ordered the matching tire and put it on in quick fashion. I would highly recommend this business! read more

Brought a car here for an honest opinion of its integrity, since I was looking to purchase it. They were quick to take a quick look right before they closed. Couldn't have been more grateful for their honest review. They put it on the lift and showed me any potential risks. Would highly recommend. read more

When you look for a mechanic you want what?... 1) HONESTY 2) Trustworthy 3) knowledgeable mechanics 4) Price or value for your money Willy Veldman and his sons Lauren and Todd and I will include Mike (not a son but one hell of a great service man and works like he is related) are as far as I am concerned the most honest and trustworthy family and business in the area. If they say something is wrong, it is and if they are wrong and it is a simple fix then they will tell you. Once I brought my car in and Mike explained it may be difficult to track down the wiring issue and could going to be a lot of time to find the issue (IE money) only to come back to my fixed car and bill for $4 (yes I said $4!). Turned out to be a very minor fix like a bad connection on a bulb. Needless to say this shows honesty and integrity. So I trust them. The have high standard of excellence, very highly trained mechanics. In fact their mechanic went to Toyota for training on working on new hybrids. So Veldmans bought many badly crashed Toyota priuses and complete rebuilt good a new them to make sure the totally knew that hybrid engined, car and electronics in the new cars. Now let me talk about price and value. I have been taking my cars here for almost 20 years. so 20 years ago I would have said the prices can't be beat, 10 years ago I would have said the prices are very good. 7 years ago I would say they are still cheaper that a dealer but higher than many privately shops. That said I must tell you that price is not value and in some cases time is money. Veldman shine because for the price you get unequaled and consistent service, honesty, integrity, workmanship. They treat you like you are their most important customer. So the value in what you paid good money is there. It is the one place I tell people if you take it there don't expect the cheapest work, just expect your vehicle to be fixed right, to be treated like a person or even a friend and you never have to worried about honesty.. Quite frankly you can go to the mechanic that charges the lowest rate per hour... but beware, if the cheap rates are charges for work that really doesn't need to be done or something is fixed poorly or they use a cheap or used part but charge you for more.... sure the bill look good for the work they tell you they did or maybe didn't do. At Veldman's there is no worry and I have no stress. They take me home or to work and pick my up and bring me back to work done right EVERY TIME! To Mr. Veldman (Willy), Todd and Lauren and Mike and others striving for excellence and integrity, keep up the great work!!! read more

Excellent service! We drove in from out of town. Our AC went out in Des Moines. We were driving back home in a couple days, Veldmans fit us in, worked with our tight timeline and got us back in the road. Excellent service! Mike was very friendly. read more

I had an 8Am appointment for an install that takes about 1.5-2hours so I got there at 8am after waiting for an hour and a half I asked about the status of my vehicle and as it turns out they had not yet started. They told me that they had another install and the mechanic is just going to start working on it I walk outside and my car was in the same spot I left it 1.5hours prior horrible service I will never recommend this place to anyone for wasting 1.5 hours of my life this whole situation was ridiculous and I'm sure rare but because of this I will never come back for service here or suggest anyone to this place. read more

I would never recommend them, not even to my worst enemy. My car was towed here by recommendation of my insurance. To begin, I was quoted $300 higher than 2 other places that we called after hearing how much they would be charging. We decided to have it towed to a different location, with a friendly and respectable owner, and were charged $95 for a diagnostic testing.... a simple test. Sweet-- thank you for nothing. read more

We were making an emergency trip to Chicago when our car broke down near South Bend. AAA towed us to Veldman's on a Saturday afternoon. The garage was closed for the day, but my wife peaked in and saw someone in the office and knocked. Even though it was after hours the gentleman let us in, got our information, let us use their restroom and helped us with information on renting a car. While in we were in Chicago the folks at Veldman's kept us informed about what they were doing to repair our car, and when we picked it up three days later it was professionally done and we've had no trouble with the car since. Veldman's really impressed us with their service, and their kindness in helping out some strangers in trouble. A+++. read more

Tried to charge $470 for the same job that another local shop (Tim's Auto Repair) charged $127...absolutely RIDICULOUS, and I will NEVER recommend anyone to go to them again. read more

I can NOT believe what they tried to do. I am a young college kid and he def. tried to rip me off. He told me it would be 1,300 dollars to replace the struts. I went to the tire place accross the street and they said 600. I went and bought the struts and there were les then 200 dollars. It makes me sick that he tried to RIP ME OFF OVER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. This is terrible that there are people like that. I called my friend and complained and she said they tried to do the same thing to her elderly grandpa. I drive a Geo Prism... as if Im going to pay 1300 to fix it. unreal... read more
