My husband has been taking vehicles to Bowmans for a long time now…read more He has known Bobby and some workers there for years. Now it was my turn. I had a little fender bender. I was rear ended. Got my estimate and took it and the car to Bowmans. They had no problem fixing it based off the estimate. The car was done in a timely manner and no matter who I talked to there, they were all kind. I was able to get everything fixed and looked great. I had no problem trusting they would do a good job. I liked that they are a small town locally owned business that does a great service. I know I drove a little out of my area (Im from DSM) but it was worth the peace of mind. I would recommend anyone to use Bowman Body Shop.

It was the the summer of 2014 and I was blasting across the middle states on my way to New York…read morefrom California when the unthinkable happened. The Hall sensor on my BMW went kaput on the freeway outside of Des Moines and I spent a very rainy night stranded on the side of the road. Fast forward to the next morning, desperately calling everyone in town for the part -- nothing. As a last-ditch effort I expanded my search and contacted VanWall in Indianola. Lo-and-behold they could get the part on order from Germany and even drove up to Des Moines with a trailer to pick me up! From there it just got better. The staff went out of their way to accommodate me, helping me store my luggage and giving me a desk to sit at. A couple of employees, upon hearing my story, even offered to let me stay with them! -- and let's be honest here, a Hall sensor is not exactly a big ticket item. When part came in the next morning the BMW tech had it installed and wired by the time I caught a ride from the manager back into town. Now I'm no spring chicken when it comes to bikes and I've dealt with my fair share of good shops. NONE of them come close to the experience I had with VanWall. If you ride bikes, atvs, or scooters do yourself a favor and pay them a visit!

Last week they delivered my second, a Continental GT650, to me in Des Moines. Jeremy, Mark, Cara, and the entire Baxter Cycle crew always take good care of me every time I walk in the door. I never seem to leave empty-handed. Buy a bike here and you'll leave with more than a motorcycle - you'll leave with new friends as well.

Jeremy says "rest easy, we've got your back" and "either Randy or I will call you when we get settled back in the shop". Well that was 8 days ago and guess what ; nothing. This was the eleventh bike (and hundreds of dollars of parts I've bought from them over the years since 1997) and by far the most expensive. I've never left a review on anything before but this is too much.

The staff had no issues with me trying out different brands of cycles and, in fact, encouraged me to do so.

If I had any questions they couldn't answer, another specialist was ready with one. Would definitely come back once my consideration process is finished.
