I would recommend Gus Automotive. Close to the interstate exit of Stuart. If you run into an issue you can get right over there. Our adventure consisted of a wobble in a tire. Not just any vibration in any vehicle but one in an older RV. Going down the interstate the vibration got worse. We pulled off in Stuart and went right over to Gus Automotive. They came right out, walked around our RV and agreed right away that we had a bad tire. Although they did not have the tire on hand, they let us stay in their parking lot and use their tool so we could get our spare on. We were in a really good position to be able to purchase the tire from them and pick it up at a later time. They were able to get the new tire and balance and get it all ready for us at our convenience. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and we were glad that this was the place we changed a tire and not on the interstate. read more

I would definitely recommend Gus Automotive. When two semi tires came loose from an 18 wheeler on White Pole Road and headed straight for our vehicle we had to take our car off into the ditch to avoid a possible wreck with the semi, and tire to the body and/or windshield of our vehicle. Definitely messed up the underside of the car and the guys at Gus got it all fixed up and at a reasonable price. Stop in and see how Ryan can help you with your vehicle today! read more

Prompt, honest, and efficient. Was on a cross country trip from CA to IL when my truck broke down on I-80. I got in touch with Gus Automotive and he towed me into his shop, ordered the part from out of town and had me back on the road in a few hours. His shop and his work gave a sense of comfort. Keep up the good work Gus! read more

Broke down on a Friday evening, called 911 and state police gave me Gus's number he was out within 15 minutes. Got me off interstate and brought my car to his repair shop. Since special parts were needed I had to stay overnight, Gus gave me ride to local motel and got me a discount also. Repair was completed and I'm back on the road. read more

One of my girlfriends was driving across country at night and was informed from passing cars that her muffler was low and sparking on I-80. She spent the night in Stuart IA in her truck. I googled around for her and called Gus Automotive next day. Well lady on phone said they couldn't get her in till Monday and it was Thursday. The tire place in town gave me a name of another auto place in Stuart..she went there and was back on the road in less than 5 minutes. So disappointed that they couldn't even look at her truck and see what it needed. Wish she could have had an experience like Frank's but I can't say much for this place.. read more

My son broke down on I-80 and had to be towed and repaired. Happened on a Saturday and was done by Monday. Very honest and friendly. A good first experience for him. Nice to know there are still honest places to get repairs done. read more

I was traveling from St. Paul MN to Santa Fe NM. Woke up in the morning to continue my trip and my truck wouldn't start. After failed jumping attempts, had it towed to Gus', and they had it running for me by 11:30 AM. I was back on the road with confidence given how thoroughly they checked over my entire ignition chain. All the work was done at a very very reasonable price and they were kind and courteous. Having grown up in a small town and now having lived in a big city (full of dishonest mechanics), it felt like being "home". Greatful!!! read more

I had a flat tire on the interstate and had Gus's number down on my list as a "maybe" in case I ever got in trouble. Well I did get in trouble. And yes, he tows cars. (The advertising doesn't necessarily say that.) Well that turned out to be a great day. Gus was there personally within maybe 5-7 mins, and I had a great time talking with him about his rotary piloting and what not. The tire shop in Stuart was closed that day (Gus doesn't sell tires anymore) and I had an appointment to get to in Des Moines. Gus just happened to have one used tire in his shop and it fit my truck! I was back on the road in no time, and more importantly I had a _great_ time there. I don't even remember what the towing and tire cost, it was so inconsequential. I know it was cheap compared to what I'm used to in the city. And he sure earned a customer that day. Unfortunately I do most of my own auto work, so my only regret is that I will not be giving him a bunch of business. He sure as hell deserves it! Customer for LIFE (when I need a shop or a tow). These are good people. Their internet presence (or lack of) well you'll just have to overlook. They've got like a 4-6-bay shop with lots of equipment, it's not a rinkie dink operation. And locallly he's second to none I'm sure. I was blown away when I saw his shop compared to his ads. It's just a different generation, guys. And he's got _decades_ of experience under his belt. A shop like this you'd expect to see as result #1 when you search for it. Unfortunately you do not. He and his shop are doing great either way. Like I said, customer for life. Just based on that one day. THANKS GUS!!!!!!!!! read more

My husband and I were driving through to visit family in Omaha when suddenly our truck started sputtering and losing speed. We pulled off the highway and it conked out on us like it was out of gas even though we had almost a full tank. Not being from the area, we had to Google towing services and repair shops and I'm sure glad that we found Gus. When he arrived, we had actually gotten the truck to start again but we weren't confident in it so Gus told us to drive to his shop and he'd follow us. We knew as soon as we tried to merge on to the highway that something was still wrong so Gus loaded us up and towed us back to his shop. Our truck was ready to go early Monday morning and it ended up being only a fuel filter. We paid a very fair price and I agree with the other commenters on the quality of service and the well stocked service shop. It was a relief to find Gus in a time of need for us out-of-towners; thank you Gus! read more
