Aim High Automotive sets an exceptional standard within the industry. Growing up with family that has highly skilled... mechanics, I'm very skeptical on who I let work on my vehicles. Moving to Ankeny and no longer having time to work on them myself, I knew I needed to find someone I can trust. I've heard great things about Aim High Automotive and thought it was worth giving them a shot.After several appointments, I couldn't be happier with my decision. Bill and his team are immensely knowledgeable, showcase integrity, and provide excellent communication. Moving forward they will be the only shop that works on my personal and business's vehicles. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic, I tremendously recommend Aim High Automotive.read more

The Owner, Bill, was/is thorough, patient and honest. I have an eighteen year old classic (I use that term loosely)... car with old car issues. Bill spent the time and effort to track down the problem and fix it without breaking the bank.read more

Great experience! They are very knowledgeable and straightforward. Their prices are the best I have found and again I... think that goes back too them being precise on the issues with vehicles and not focused on all the fluff that bigger chain stores try to slip in. I have used aim high several times in the past years on 4 different vehicles. I have had nothing but positive experiences with this company. Vehicle maintenance can be frustrating but it's nice to know who to call when it comes up.Thanksread more

This place embodies what a mechanic should be. I broke down on the interstate and took it to another mechanic where... they ran diagnostics and handed me a hefty bill. I went to AIM High to get a second opinion and man am I thankful for them. They made sure they got to the root of the problem. They recommended taking it to a dealership because of the problem specific to my car, but they didn't even charge me. Just goes to show how much they really value helping others and doing an excellent job. I am not from Ankeny and am only here for the summer but I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that lives here.read more

Stopped in without an appointment because I was hearing some rattling under our SUV. Just curious to see if it was a... big deal fully planning to make an appointment later on. They were super busy but took the time to throw my vehicle up on a lift and fixed a few exhaust clamps right then and there! I’ll be back!read more

This last Friday is the second time I have used Aim High Automotive services. I have a 2005 F-150 that needed the A/C... and e-brake checked. About 3 hours after leaving the truck I was called to be notified of the problems and what was needed. After I approved, they had the truck ready the same day at 5:15 pm. The A/C and e-brake work like new.The quality of their service and work is as great as it was about a year and a half ago when I brought the truck the first time. This coming week I will be leaving a Honda for them to work in the struts.read more

My husband has had a great experience here before so I decided to try it out today. They were able to get me in within... a reasonable time frame and gave me advice about what actually needed to be done to my car, saving me $2000 from what I was quoted at an oil change place. Very happy with the service performed and will definitely be back!read more

Came into the shop and they were swamped with business and a man down for the day. They still got me in and out with a... foreign vehicle that many others turned away. I am so grateful that I ended up at AIM HIGH. They even stayed $40 under what they quoted me even after running into issues. This is the only place I’d come back to in the area!read more

Bill and the techs at Aim High are excellent. Sometimes it's hard to find repair shop with integrity. This is it. ... They are fast working and estimates are spot on and the times I have went in to pay, they were lower than the estimate. Bill is very easy to talk to and professional. Thanks again.read more

Just moved to the area and wanted to find a shop that would fix my truck right the first time. They knocked it out of... the park! They have small town values in the city. Fast service and very reasonably priced while keeping the customer first. I will definitely be going back to support this small business!read more

This place takes integrity to the highest level. My son was given a $3000 estimate to fix his AC at another shop, and... they fixed it here for a total of $100. I didn’t think you could still find a business run the “old fashioned way” any more. My son has been back a total of 4 times and I’ve gone there once with all outstanding results. ~ Frank C. and son Eddieread more
