Kanselaar Automotive in
Bondurant (IA)

Kanselaar continues to provide amazing service time and time again for our family. There is no place we would rather take our vehicle. Get us in on short notice and make things easy to understand and provide service that makes you feel good about your decision to go there with your car. Take it from a person like myslef that is not "handy" and counts on reliable service that is honest and fair. Easiest decision I make is taking our vehicles there if anything needs to be done. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!! They truly are the best around!

These folks are amazing. They took Me as a walk in and got my commercial vehicle back on the road. An incredible family that does honest quality work. Amazing I’m so thankful!

So thankful we found this auto shop. Always feel like they are honest and straightforward.

Amazing service, from the welcome desk to the mechanics. Very fair pricing and are honest people! Being a female you get so many places try to overprice you or get one over on you but not here! 100% recommend them to everyone!

We love these guys. They do all of our car needs. They are upfront with issues. Find the best pricing for needs. We send friends and family to them.

Can't say enough good things about this place. They are always able to get me right in and take care of my car issues quickly. As a female I worry about being oversold in this industry but not here. They are honest and trustworthy people. Will not take my car anywhere else. Highly recommend if you have any issues!!

Kanselaar has consistently taken great care of my cars. They’ve handled my tire rotations, repairs, oil changes, and routine checks with professionalism every time. Their team is knowledgeable, communicates clearly, and delivers fast, quality work. I trust them completely and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

We appreciate the team at Kanselaar Automotive. We were traveling through the area and had a break down. Contacted them and had it towed there and continued our trip in a rental. Good communication on fixing the problem in a timely manner and actually fixed another issue that was unrelated to the break down. Quick turnaround allowed us to pick it up on the return trip back through the area. Thank you

Called to get my headlight looked at. I was able to drop off after hours. I told them a time frame and when I needed my car back and asked if they were able to work it into their schedule. They stayed in contact with me and resolved my issue quickly and for half the price I could get it done with a dealer. Great service. Highly recommend!

After my brothers retired from their automotive repair shop after almost 50 years in business I needed to find a new mechanic and one that was close to my new home in Altoona. I searched for a mechanic near me and saw the name Kanselaar and recognized that name from Eddyville raceway and one of the Kanselaar's once worked for my brothers, so that and the wonderful reviews they had, I decided to give them a try, and boy am I glad I did! They were wonderful to work with, friendly, courteous, knowledgeable. The two ladies I talked to Taylor and Chrissy were amazing, so kind and responsive. They had reasonable prices and fixed one of my brake lights and only charged me for the bulb. Then when I picked up my car after hours, they had a lockbox with my keys in it and gave me a code to access it and I found a nice thank you note, my invoice, koozies and a small jar filled with candy, I assume this was because I was a new customer but that little extra really made an impact. Highly recommend!!!! 5 Stars!!!

Come here if you're 12 and under, along with prepared backup spots. 12th I visited the shop for a transmission line repair and given an 8am appointment. They couldn't quote a price then, understandable, who knows what's under my truck.. Showed up 8:30 a.m. and made the grave mistake of asking them to quote me a price before work commenced. 30 minutes later I get a text telling me they might not be able to "squish" me in, and didn't want to waste my time (???) and referred me to another shop...if your word isn't stable enough to honor an appointment, what makes you think it's stable enough to refer me elsewhere. Bottom line, don't sleep easy knowing your appointment will be honored, continue your search. Have a backup place because they will treat you like a child. Or go in blind and wait for the bill. They got an extra star because the shop was clean, which is always a good sign.

My check engine light came on I called them up and got my vehicle there they did a diagnostic on my vehicle. They got back to Me in less then lesson 10 minutes with the issue. Would recommend. and the gal that I talked to was was very nice and professional

Kanselaar Automotive is FANTASTIC! They're honest and are very thorough. They've fixed our cars for several years, and I recommend them to people whenever I can.

Had an issue returning from a road trip this weekend. Kanselaar Automotive got me in and diagnosed the problem quickly. The staff and service were both top notch, and as an added bonus they’re a family owned business. Glad to have a place around here I can trust when there’s a problem

Another experience of great service from Kanselaar Auto. Quick service with great communication. I am so grateful we have a trustworthy small automotive shop. Thank you!

We were referred by a good friend of ours. From the get go Kanselaar was extremely professional, personable, and friendly. They communicated promptly and updated us on what was going on with our vehicle. Their honesty, communication, and organization were just a few things that made our experience so great! With having very bad experiences with big dealerships, we were very pleased with our time here. Without a doubt, we will be using them from now on! Give them a try and you won’t be disappointed!

God Bless kanselaar automotive!!! We were driving for 2 hours when our car door came out, we were so desperate because we needed to drive 2 more to our destination. They made our day The best, fixed our door car in time record for FREE ( we were so worried about the cost because it was something unexpected). Service was amazing. 100% recommend them. This 5 star isn’t just because the service was Free , but because they definitely turned this terrible unexpected experience into an amazing experience and SERVICE.

I had an emergency repair needed on my granddaughters car. They got it in that day. Unfortunately they were unable to diagnose the problem. In all fairness I was really bugging them. It is an electrical problem so I'm working on it now. They have been great helping me by providing schematic diagrams. Very happy with their help. This car has a nasty gremlin.

Fast and friendly service! We were passing through town and had some engine failure and these guys were super quick to figure out and fix the problem. To get my family and i back on the road! HIGHLY recommend.

Unexpected problem with my car and they were able to work me in within a day. They diagnosed the problem but it is something that has to be completed by the dealership due to warranty coverage. I greatly appreciate their honesty and help!! I'll be back for sure.

They diagnosed my car's issue, unfortunately this time around they had to direct me to a dealership, but Kanselaar was honest and acted with integrity. I'll definitely be returning in the future.

I called on Friday and was able to have my vehicle looked at the same day and they fixed the issue in less the 15 mins and didn't charge me a dime. Very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back if ever needed.

Brought my Toyota here to diagnose a fuel leak. Said the tank was shot. They tried to find a new fuel sending unit so I could put a new tank in but were unable to find one. Toyota quit making them and only made those for 2 years. Really appreciated the effort and the cost for what work they did was very reasonable. I will be bringing my vehicles here from now on. I came here initially because of the good reviews and I'm not disappointed.

We used Kanselaar Automotive for the 1st time today, and it went something like this. Called at the crack of 9:15 when I got up. Chrissy answered, and I said, "I need new breaks and a serpentine belt, What say you?" She said," Bring it on in." DId so and got a call 2 hrs later with a price. A reasonable price. I said, "Go for it." Got a call 4 hrs later to come get it. Fast, friendly, and reasonable. I've driven many used cars in my life and have known many repair shops. This was a great experience, and next time it breaks, we'll be back. Thanks.

I had the most pleasant first experience here with a couple issues I had with my car. The gal at the front desk (reading reviews, Chrissy is her name I believe) was unbelievably sweet, welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable. I am certain this will not be my last time here and I am thankful I chose this business to trust. The repair didn’t break the bank and pricing was very fair. The reviews speak for themselves, and I am happy to add another positive one :)! Thank you again!!

There is still good in the world today! We started going to Kanselaar Automotive about a year ago for our oil changes, including our daughters car she had recently purchased. Earlier this summer our daughter had to use them for a car repair. They helped us arrange to have her car towed to them and then worked on. They were very fair in the price to fix and wonderful to work with during the process. A couple weeks later she was experiencing issues again and we dropped it off over the 4th of July holiday to get it looked at again. They couldn’t technically find anything wrong but did clean a part and it has fixed the issue. Kaneselaar didn’t charge her for the second visit since they didn’t really find anything wrong. They knew she had recently moved into her own apartment, was still going to school and was paying for her own car repairs. This blew me away!!! There are not many businesses that would remotely do this for a young college student living on her own or care about her in this way. I highly recommend them for any of your car repairs or oil changes! They truly care about their customers!

I happened across Kanselaar Auto by needing something close to my house for a quick fix. I am so glad I came across this place and now happy to be a customer for all my auto needs!! The customer service is fantastic and I appreciate the way they work personally with each customer. I can tell by their reviews I am not the only person that feels this way. Chrissy is always in a wonderful mood and cares about her place of business as well as the customers. Give this place your business, you won't regret it!!
