Brandon, the manager, made my time - that is normally anxiety ridden - so smooth and relaxed. Great experience and very quick. Will definitely continue to come here.

I went into Tuffy with a more unusual request for repair on farm equipment. Brandon was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help me. I would definitely recommend going here for all Auto needs!

Brandon Dindorf went so far above and beyond-he might have super powers. I went into Tuffy almost in tears after going into two other businesses trying to fix the issue. They treated me as if I was an idiot who had no business owning a car. Brandon calmed me down, explained the problem and had the issue fixed so quickly-I was back to work almost immediately. I will tell everyone to bring their business here, I will give this Tuffy 100 stars, fo in and see for yourself how talented the service staff is and how well Brandon manages his team

I would like to commend Brandon for his excellent customer service! He goes above and beyond to take care of us even if we don't receive the ideal service the first time. His approach alone will keep me coming back to the Waukee Tuffy for future service.

I had the pleasure of meeting your employee, Brandon today. I want to commend him for being extremely nice and helpful! My issue was a small, quick fix but because of him, I will be back for any further vehicle repairs! I hope you have a program to recognize outstanding employees who clearly put customer service first! Thanks again, Brandon! :)

Spent the whole morning arranging rides to get to work from stuffy also my lunch break to comeback and arrange arise to get my car. Was simply getting a tire put on. Paid for it. Got home and my new tire was in my trunk untouched. Called the guy in the front office and told him. He didn’t believe me or refund my money. That might be considered stealing.

K-Sea Gave me nothing but the best professional service. Car repairs are not the most fun to have done but he made it a pain free morning for me. Couldn’t have asked for a better service.

I can’t say enough about the excellent service we have had at stuffy-Clive from Sean and his staff. Our initial experience was with one of our car’s air conditioning. The dealer told us it would be at least $2000 to fix. Teddy fixed it for $250 saving us so much money. Since then we have taken our other cars there for a variety of reasons. We have always had excellent service and very fair pricing. We are so happy we found Tuffy. We will no longer go anywhere else!

Sean got my truck running by installing transmission. Fixed wiper blades did oil change etc.....Now he says that since it is running we should make it stop too. So I will save up some more money and get front brakes! I appreciate the friendliness, clean and professional service and atmosphere. See you very soon.

I've used Tuffy for planned maintenance, as well as short notice repairs of tires etc. They do a great job identifying the issue and not overselling in the process. Always a great experience.

★★★★★

While traveling through IA, I stopped at Tuffy Auto Service for a problem with a tire. The service was exceptional and fast! They fixed me up and I was on my way and have not had any problems with the tire since then. I highly recommend Tuffy Auto Service in Clive for all your auto needs!

I had my Town and Country serviced, and they did an excellent job. They also stayed within the timeframe that they had promised. Finally, the price was fair.

Sep 26, 2017 Mike B.

I take all of my vehicles to EJ and Sean as they always exceed my expectations. They are honest and never push the up sale. We recently moved to the South side and I will make the drive to Clive to this Tuffy as always pleased with their work and prices. The two most comfortable couches in the world doesn't hurt either!!

Had a great experience. My car needed brake work and the guys went the extra mile to find out why I lost pressure in the brakes. Service and attitudes were personable and friendly. I was recommended to go to Tuffy by a friend and now I will recommend to other friends as well.

I have trusted John and all the mechanics for many years. They always take good care of me, providing options if there are any and suggesting the best way to take care of a problem. Many times I take my care in for a "noise", they test drive, diagnose and provide options if needed. I am very confident of their services and advise. Being a female driving in Iowa in all weather conditions they are very understanding and take the extra step to check things out to assure my safety.

Was in need of an oil change earlier this year. Tuffy got me right in and did a great job. Had questions about other car items and they answered them at that time.

Aug 15, 2016 Michelle K.

★★★★★

I love this Tuffy's and even drive further than I have to for their services. They treat women right vs talking down to them as if they know nothing about cars. I had an out-of-state Tuffy's mess up a tire rotation and the Clive Store not only fixed the tire in question but checked out all of the tires and corrected the air pressure in them...gratis. Plus, if they find anything "wrong" with your vehicle, they let you know w/o pressuring you to have them fix it.

Jul 30, 2016 Candice B.

★★★★★

I have brought all of my cars to Tuffy for EVERYTHING car related and always will. They have such excellent customer service. They explain everything so I can understand, they always beat competitors prices and they really work with you to get you JUST what you need instead of added on BS. I took my car to the dealer who told me I needed new brakes and so I went to price them at Tuffy and of course was cheaper. They got my car in and said it would be about an hour and a half and they called me 20 min later to say I did not need brakes at all. They were perfectly fine. You don't find auto repair places like that!!! They could have easily screwed me over and most places would have. I can't say enough good things about them and refer them to all my family and friends. I hope they are always around.

Great customer service. Figured out what was wrong with my wipes very fast. Ordered the part and got in a couple days later. Installed very fast. Did not beat around the bush on what was wrong like other places do to try and get more money out of you.

Jun 27, 2016 Clayden A.

★★★★★

I brought in my car to fix a weird noise my wiper was making. They quickly diagnosed it and ordered the part and it was fixed in just a few days. Everyone there was very helpful and knew what they were doing. A lot of places beat around the bush and say this and that. The people here did not and I would recommend this place to anyone.

I have been bringing multiple cars to Tuffy over the last years. John and Sean offer great service and always explain the repairs so I can understand them.

The service was top notch. They explained everything thoroughly and actually showed me things that needed to be fixed on my car onto of just telling me. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get their oil changed or car fixed.

Came in late for an oil change and he let me know it was late but he said he could get to it first thing in the morning and that was pretty awesome and helpful thank you

I have had two wonderful experiences with this location. The first was about a year and a half ago, when my parking lot had building construction. I found a large nail in my tire and brought the car to Tuffy. They removed the nail, patched the hole, and charged me a minimal amount. The second experience was a couple of months ago. A car crash occurred in front of us as we were driving and debris from the crash hit out car, damaging the exhaust system. The dealer quoted us over $1400 to replace the exhaust, and Tuffy did it for a fraction of the cost. I love these guys!

As we were traveling through Des Moines, the check engine light came on the dash and the car would not shift right. We stopped at a gas station on I-35 and the folks there recommended Tuffy's. John Blanche said it would be the next day before he could check the car out but when I told him we were traveling, he immediately began looking for the cause. It turned out that the oil filter cap was not on tight and oil had pumped out leaving the crankcase empty. It could have been a very bad thing for us but all it needed was a complete oil change with new filter and we were on our way. Our highest thanks to John and his tech Sean Wood for their concern for us.

Oct 25, 2013 Haley R.

★★★★★

I had an awesome experience at the Tuffy in Waukee, Mr. Blanche knew exactly what he was talking about. Prior to the oil change I recently received, I came across transmission issues and John helped locate and install a new transmission in a costly way. I truly appreciate the service I have received! I would recommend this Tuffy to all of my peers and family.

Aug 21, 2013 Chris S.

I've been using Tuffy for all my auto service needs from oil changes to getting my tires replaced, struts & shocks replaced, brakes redone, you name it. They have always been fair, timely, and great to work with. Highly recommend using them.

"They did a superb job fixing my car. I haven't had a problem since! When I pulled into the parking lot, you would have thought these guys were my pit crew. In just minutes, all of my fears were put to rest.”
