I got a flat tire in a parking lot while picking up dinner the other night. In horror I realized…read morethat my jack was in my girlfriends car so I was at the mercy of having to wait for roadside assistance to come help me get my spare tire on. Before I even had time to make the call, a gentleman pulled up and began placing a jack under my car. He then told me I could keep the jack as he and his family run a salvage yard here in town. That gentleman's name was Chris Bell and he saved me an enormous amount of time and anger that evening. A good man who went out of his way to help me like that deserves a shout out and good review. Please check out Bell Salvage in Ames for all your metal and appliance salvaging needs! It's right across the street from Carney's auto salvage yard.

The professionalism is incredibly high. I was given tips & tricks, they asked my opinion every step through the way - I suggest them to everyone I meet. They're incredibly affordable & amazingly quick with turn around! Right before my wedding I was stressing because I wanted my dress altered once more, and they made the time, called me & were just so incredibly kind about it. Never have I ever felt more at peace with putting such a big day in the hands of someone. I recommend to everyone!!!

I had a load of clothes to do last Sunday morning and stopped at the Ames branch of Squeaky Clan. Everything seemed to be there: nice washer and dryers, roomy and clean facilities, a place to purchase laundry detergent, and an ATM to get cash (which I did). But! The change machine was out-of-order! So without a source of quarters and no available means to put this on a credit card, I was basically screwed. Onwards to Squeaky Clean in Boone.....

My recent Sunday morning load of laundry was done there in Boone, as Squeaky Clean's outpost in Ames didn't provide any means for obtain quarters. There were no such issues here in Boone, aside from having to feed more quarters in than I expected. The Laundromat itself was clean and spacious, and with plenty of washers, dryers, and folding tables available. Fellow patrons were a mix of families, single adults, and students. There was also a clean restroom available and easy access to my car and the street. The bottom line was that my clothes came out clean and dry.

Nice machines, facility is clean and newer......but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. I didn't bring enough money…read more $4 for a simple wash of 28 min with a rinse cycle that just sprinkles while spinning. $2 for simple dryer of 38 min. Need to use high heat which destroys clothes. Should be at least 45 min. Unfortunately I'm from out of town and didn't know until it was too late. Big ripoff. Doubtful my clothes are clean. At least they use Speed Queen top loaders from WI. American made machines. 2 stars only because of prices.
