Olesen Auto Center, Inc. in
Avoca (IA)

I can’t say enough good things about Olsen Auto Center in Avoca! Great prices, extremely convenient they even pick your vehicle up and drop it back off for ya!

I arrived today because my alternator broke down. I asked for help and the owner kindly made room for me in line even though they were already busy, since I'm traveling out of state. They did an excellent job and treated me very kindly. I would recommend this place to anyone.

They are awesome people that are always willing to help people out.

My son took his car in for a tire replacement. The service was quick and friendly! Thank you!!

The folks at Olesen are really great to work with. Great communication and very helpful. The day after my vehicle purchase, they spent time working out a tire wobble issue - even though they were under no requirement to do so. Just a desire to provide excellent customer service.

I recently went over here for an oil change took probably about 30 minutes and the price was very fair

I had great experience working with the team while my truck was on the mend here recently. I look forward to doing future business with them. They have always treated me right.

The customer service has been great. They have worked with me for many years and hope to continue to work with them for many more. If there was something else wrong with my vehicle, they would always call and let me know before they did any work.

Got me in on short notice while having car troubles on a road trip. Fixed my car, got me on my way, all at a very affordable price. Friendly staff, communicable, helped point me in the right direction. Great auto center in a seemingly fairly desolate area.

Mr. Olesen was able to gt me in the same day to fix my tire and get me back on the road. Very professional and willing to help.

My girlfriend and I were traveling on I-80 and unfortunately got a flat tire. I called a number of places in the area and Olesen Auto Center was the only one that could help us. Luckily they had my size tire in stock and we did not spend much time at the shop. We were in and out really quick and back on the road in no time. Quality work and the ladies that helped up front were really nice. Highly recommend this shop. They are life savers.

Only giving a three right now Only because I have only driven it 6 miles. In that 6 miles my time was wrong and couldn’t find my radio pre settings. Waiting to see if oil leak is corrected and how it is.Please resend me a link to give full review after I drive it for about 2 weeks as I only drive from walnut to Avoca everyday then it is parked on weekends

Olesen auto went above and beyond to help my husband and I when we had a flat tire. We're from central llinois and were on our way back home from Omaha when we got a flat. We also had our dogs with us and it was getting late, so we were desperate to find somewhere to replace it. Olesen was 20 minutes from closing time, but they still went above and beyond to help us. They even threw in a free oil change! Could not recommend them enough. Thanks again, guys!

I was traveling back home after purchasing a trailer out of state. Unfortunately, the dual-axle trailer had older tires on it and had 2 blowouts. After using up my last spare and before going any further, I stopped in and Olesen had 2 brand new tires in stock. They were able to get them mounted up quickly and I had no problems for the rest of the trip. Everyone was friendly as well. Thanks Jeff & team!

The employees of this shop were wonderful! So personable, professional and helpful! I was going through town and had an issue and they helped me with the most amazing service! I highly recommend Olesen Auto!!!

The staff at Olesen’s Auto Center has always been helpful and trust worthy! J has gone out of his way to help find tires for my car that I could afford and were happy with! I also have had new brakes put on my car! The service techs did a great job! If I don’t have time to wait for my car to get serviced a ride home is always offered and my car is delivered to my home when service is complete! I feel so lucky to have this business locally!

I am always a little weary of buying a car because of the used car salesman stereotype, but I am so happy with my experience here! I never felt pressured, was always told up front about the quality, and was able to get everything done quickly. I was so impressed even my plates and insurance were taken care of for me making the process seamless! I also love that I can get my car serviced in town and can stop in to check small things quickly! Would always recommend!

Tina Quist is the office manager but she does so much more. Balance the books helps with car deals schedules appointments picks up and deliveries for customer vehicles runs for cars and parts to keep the service going. Does everything for everyone. She is one of the Rocks that lay the foundation for a great company. The other rocks is the mechanics and oil changers Ang the leader J Olesen

This place is absolutely horrible. I have never gone to these guys since I've lived in town since 2017. And today they proved again that I shouldn't use them. I just needed a little bit of air. I know that it was close to lunch time. But it is freezing cold outside and having it changes tire on the side of the road was a lot more work then 5 seconds of using an air hose. This guy is unbelievable.

Amazing, good old fashioned service!! We blew a tire on the interstate 1,000+ miles from home. Thankfully we were able to get the spare on and immediately did a Google search for tire shops. Jeff answered and checked to see if he had what we needed in stock. We hopped back on the interstate and headed there. Even though it was an hour and a half before closing time on a Friday evening each and every one of their staff was friendly and helpful. They had the new tire mounted and balanced in no time and even helped switch the spare back out. This place was a God send for us, and it's nice to know that small businesses with excellent service still exist in small town America.

Amazing service! We broke down outside of town heading home to Colorado. They were able to get us in first thing in the morning and had us back on the road by 1pm! Very thankful!

I had tires/alignment and some general repairs done. Great service no up sell and folks were very easy to work with. Very responsive. I highly recommend using this Olesen auto center.

We were traveling and had a tire fail. They were willing to get us in right before closing and put on our spare so we could continue. Great people providing great service!

Battery light turns on so I came here. 3 hrs later after being told my part was 15 min away and apparently the guys in the shop working on their own vehicles were too busy to go get it I decided to leave. My advice... push your vehicle to Omaha. The experience will still be better.

Wow what a great experience! My RV had tires that were low and I needed a special adapter to add air to the dually tires. J at Olesen was there early so I didn't have to wait even though I didn't have a scheduled appointment, and this was on a Saturday. He had the adapter and added air right away so I could get back on the road without delay. Very friendly and also professional. Cannot recommend this family business highly enough, they are tremendous!

I will never go anywhere else for work on my vechiles. Jesse at olsens has always gone above and beyond to help me with anything as little as squirrels chewing wires to a huge deer destroying the front of my jeep. Very reasonable pricing and over the top quality and customer services. I live 45 minutes away but still will go out of my way to use them. Give Jesse a call. You won't be disappointed!

I was stranded hours away from home with a car that wouldn't start. I called Oleson, and they were very polite and friendly. A man that worked there named Jesse came to where I was and jumped my car for me so I could drive it to the shop. He fixed it right away. He saved me time and money and was very professional and kind. I highly recommend!
