I had hoped the situation would be resolved without needing to leave a public review. Unfortunately, after my own experiences, as well as concerns I later heard from others, I cannot in good faith remain silent. My first visit for a standard inspection was positive and professionally documented. I genuinely appreciated the information provided and how it was presented at a reasonable price. However, my second visit for electrical diagnostics raised serious concerns about billing transparency, communication, and professionalism. I am hard of hearing, so clear communication and billing explanations are especially important to me. I was billed for a $50 general inspection plus two separate $145 electrical diagnostic charges without clear explanation beforehand. I agreed to the inspection and one diagnostic charge, not two. My primary concern was a radio intermittently losing power during startup and shifting, which can often indicate a voltage drop or grounding issue. The only documented testing referenced in the report for that concern was a parasitic battery draw test, which showed a normal reading. The note provided stated that these radios commonly fail, but no documentation was provided showing testing of the radio's power supply, ignition feed, or grounding related to the intermittent reset condition. Because the diagnostic explanation was inconclusive, I later performed my own troubleshooting to better understand the issue. Through systematic testing of wiring continuity, ground integrity, and power supply under load, I was able to isolate the fault to a specific failure that was not the radio itself. Additionally, I mentioned at drop-off that I suspected a burned taillight circuit board simply as a courtesy so the shop would be aware of it. I did not request a separate diagnostic for that issue. However, I was billed another $145 diagnostic charge to remove the assembly and confirm the circuit board failure without any prior discussion that this would be treated as a separate diagnostic service. When I asked for clarification regarding the double billing and scope of the diagnostics, the interaction became defensive rather than collaborative, and the concerns were not addressed constructively. Battery system checks are a routine part of most general inspections, which made being charged an additional diagnostic fee for that same testing especially difficult to justify. Paying for professional expertise is expected, but in this case I paid $290 for diagnostics that did not meaningfully address the issue I brought the vehicle in for and included work that I did not clearly authorize as a separate diagnostic service. When billing transparency, technical clarity, and professionalism break down in a customer service industry, it becomes difficult to maintain trust. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that customers request clear written confirmation of what each diagnostic charge includes before authorizing work.

    Update: The repair estimate for the engine which they installed is quoted just under $2000 from my…read moretrusted mechanic, paperwork photos attached. *At this point I can not recommend using All Pro Service Center for your vehicle needs, unfortunately. AAA members be aware. Full story written below. Here is my story with the Ankeny All Pro Service center, I will try to explain with due fairness. I was returning from a wedding in KC to my home in WI when just outside of Des Moines my truck broke down, had it towed to All Pro (since it is a AAA approved repair facility). I got a call from Ryan at All Pro the following Monday saying they had my truck and were starting diagnostics. Their evaluation was that one of the cylinders had a faulty ignition coil due to there being no firing in said cylinder. Agreed to replace all ignition coils with their belief this would fix the issue. Unfortunately it did not and they still were getting zero pressure in the same cylinder, at this point Ryan made the determination that a new engine was needed. This seemed excessive to me but to the best my knowledge Ryan made the right call, I have no evidence to show otherwise. When a used engine arrived they were able to get it installed with only one additional part needed. Total cost of everything totaled about $9300. During this process I do appreciate the communication and working with my warranty company to get as much of the expense covered as possible. Ryan at the time was dealing with all kinds of phone and shop power issues due to a storm that knocked out power and phone lines, which is rough! Once it was repaired I made the 9hr round trip to pick up the truck and was happy to have it back, the two things I noticed off the bat was that the interior smelled of cigarette smoke and that I could smell burning oil from outside the vehicle after the engine was warmed up. It took me about a month to get rid of the cigarette smell, very annoying but honestly if someone wants to smoke that's their choice and I won't fault them for it. The burning oil smell I chalked up to engine replacement and some oil being spilled and it would just have to burn off over time. Unfortunately this was not the case- started seeing oil spots where I parked the truck and upon checking the oil saw it slowly start dropping over only a few hundred miles. When I was able to get it into my trusted local Dodge dealership they noticed 2 things. 1st there are multiple oil leaks from various areas on the engine, bad enough that it will need 1 or more quarts of oil between oil changes and definitely should be fixed. 2nd All Pro did not reinstall all components, hoses, etc. correctly. My dealership found a bolt missing, plastic brackets broken, loose hoses and tubing, a couple of other issues. As they stated it was a "sloppy" job and poorly done. Right now they are currently writing up the paperwork for everything they believe needs repairs or replacements. I called All Pro as soon as I got the news, the response I received was that since the engine was used, it carried only a 30 day warranty and since that time had passed there was nothing they could do for me. In my invoice it's stated "Warranty is 2 years or 24,000 unless specified otherwise", would have been nice to see in writing that it was only 30 days and not just told over the phone. Shame on me for not asking for that. During the call, before I could get to the issue of it being poorly installed I was told "have a good day Joe" and hung up on. In fairness I was frustrated and trying to explain that frustration in depth to the individual I was talking to, I can understand why he thought the conversation was going nowhere and hung up. I am unsure of how much the oil leaks and other damaged items will cost but I will edit with a final update.

Maybe they tried to get it right, but bottom line All pro at Ankeny couldn't deliver quality parts nor quality work from their mechanics
