I’ve been taking my vehicles to Tuffy’s for a long time. Recently they changed my oil, checked all fluids and found the battery cables were getting corroded. Normally lt’s a $ 30 fix but they went ahead and fixed it and didn’t charge me. They consistently earn my business.Mark

I had my oil changed and everyone was very friendly and the waiting area was very nice. But, what was really nice is when my car was inspected they did not come back with a bunch, or any repairs that I need. That is in itself a wonderful thing, I have been to places that would say I needed this or that fixed and I really didn’t! I will definitely go back for my service for sure!! Thank you 1st Ave crew!!

I want to thank Jim, Corey and the rest of the Crew for staying a little late to make sure my wifes car was finished so we didn't have to make other arrangements to get to work. While we were there, Jim with his selfless acts went out to a couples car that just pulled in with a report of a shaking front wheel. Jim immediately helped them out by tightening their lugs on the front wheel. Not to mention that he helps a gentleman that lost his mother a while back after the gentleman had a small fender bender, made sure the guy had a safe way to get back and forth to work and helped the guy get his car fixed. Jim has been a very good store manager and always makes you feel welcome when you are at the store. Corey does the same with being a great guy to everyone that comes in. Mike and Antonia should be very proud of the crew they have now. 5 stars for This auto shop! Thanks for taking care of us!

I trust my car service only to Tuffy since moving here. I have experienced a lot of dishonest and poor car service by other well known businesses in Cedar Rapids. This Tuffy location has always been very thorough, honest, responsive, and professional to me and my family. We have 3 cars and have had them all serviced through this location. The team is very professional and top notch customer service via phone and face to face. I teach college customer service courses, and I would say that this Tuffy location is doing an awesome job!

While traveling from Wisconsin to Nebraska on Thursday, July 5, the AC in our vehicle stopped working. Our third stop in Cedar Rapids was at Tuffy Auto Service Center on 1st Ave SE. Jim, the service manager, got us right in and had our vehicle worked on immediately. After doing everything he could, and not wanting to destroy the warranty, he recommended we take our vehicle back to Wisconsin and take it to our dealer. He stated that it was either a relay switch or the compressor was shot. He did not charge us for anything since he did not fix anything. We did go back to Wisconsin and the compressor was replaced under warranty. A huge THANK YOU to Jim Snider and his staff. Another example of good Midwest ethics and service.

I didn't have an appointment, but the guys got me right in. Very helpful. Went in for one or two things, ended up getting a bunch of things knocked of my list. Great job.

I came in to get a 2nd opinion on a quote i got from somewhere else in cedar rapids. Original place i went to said my rear brakes were shot and everything needed replaced. I told Phil what was going. I brought my car in on my scheduled appointment and said that my brakes just needed adjusted and cleaned and that they were in good shape. Phil and his team was very professional saved me over $300.00. I told him and them that they earned my business and they will have a forever customer! Thanks guys your great!

Very knowledgeable staff who were up front and honest about issues with my car. With a fair estimate, they physically showed me what work needed done. I will without doubt take my car there for future work.

I was really impressed with the new manager and the entire crew. They worked around my budget and made sure that the most important problems were fixed. I was able to take care of the smaller problems later. I'm really appreciative of what they did. They offered me a different vehicle to drive while my car was getting fixed. It only took one day and I'm pleased. Thank you, I truly appreciate it.

"Tuffy's Auto Service Center is excellent! I have been going to Tuffy's to get my basic oil change done, but at a different location for many, many years until I moved here. I have to say that these guys are very affordable and at the same time they offer good service. It just goes to show that Tuffy's is a great business no matter which location you choose."
