Everything went very well. Now to be honest there were two minor glitches. You know how your car…read moremay do something but when you take in to the shop it won't do it? We were showing a neighbor the chair lift and we could not get the foot rest down! Then it happened to my wife a few times and then it happened to me. Once it stopped midway when my wife. She pressed the back and then forward and it started again. I called. The crew was out of town but they called the next day. It would take them two hours to get back to town. They stopped by at about 1715 hours and of course the chait lift functioned perfectly. But this crew doesn't quit easily. They took every access cover off and checked every electrical contact. They tan it up and down the stairs, operated the foot rest up and down a couple of dozen times. Nothing. But they didn't quit. They replaced the foot rest and I think they replaced the travel switch. And emphatically stated that if anything happened to call again. Nothing has wrong has happened. The crew was great. They worked carefully. No swearing or foul language. They talked, laughed and where happy. This showed me that they were well motivated and enjoyed the job. It was evident in their workmanship. We picked Arrow because they had a show room that we rode five different models. The others wouldn't phone us back or send us information. I'm still glad we went with Arrow. You will be too.

We were greeting immediately when we walked in. Unfortuantely they did not have the part we needed, but the gentleman working was very helpful and gave us great advice.

I know this place will be one of the first ones that comes to mind.

We had rented from them several times and were heading into a busy year. He asked how many more times we figured we were going to rent from him, and recommended we buy a used scooter. This has probably saved us several 100 so far. We bought a hitch rack to take it around on, they put it on for us. I was looking for a rollator, but every one I saw was too narrow (I'm a big guy). Before we were through asking, he walked into the next room and brought over one. It's in our car now. It fits me perfectly. Their prices are reasonable, they are wonderful. Give them your business.

101 Mobility of Des Moines

Good people, and they really care about your equipment -- and about you…read more I brought my Bruno Chariot power chair lift in to 101 Mobility in Urbandale for basic service (just a grease on the trailer). They got me in the same week -- already a win. After the first service, we started noticing some preexisting issues that showed up once things were moving better. I brought it back in, and this is where I was really impressed. During that second repair visit, John (the owner) sat down with me personally. He took the time to walk me through exactly what was going on with my equipment, what it meant, and how to take care of it going forward. He didn't rush it, and he didn't talk over my head -- just honest, clear help. If you depend on mobility gear like I do, that kind of service really matters. This isn't just about keeping a chair or lift working -- it's about staying safe and independent. John gets that. They're a small business, and I want them to succeed -- because this is the kind of place you want around when you need real help. If you use Pride, Bruno, or anything similar, I'd absolutely recommend them.

Than they started sending me threatening billing statements saying they were going to sue me for $$ owed. I replied, please do. Please sue me, because I will counter sue showing proof that I pre-paid for my medical supplies & show how Hammer changed the dates and added more $$$$ owed + I will counter sue for all the grief and stress Hammer put me through while fighting stage 4 anal cancer. I also contacted the Department of Human Services and sent them copies of all my receipts along w/ Hammer's bogus itemized billing statements.

It was as advertised (perfect). Exactly what I'd been searching for. The sale went smoothly and I did opt for their Maxcare service plan. After a few days with the vehicle I noticed a couple of minor things so I notified Carmax and they had me in a couple days later and resolved them all. I'll admit I was nervous about buying from carmax at first but it's been the best car buying experience I've ever had and I'm picky about my cars. Thanks Carmax Jake Johnston

I have to start this by saying the local staff at the Carmax in Des Moines was great to work with,…read morethey tried. But Carmax financial in Carol Stream Illinois, was of no help at all. I'll try to make this brief. I went to Carmax to sell my 2020 LT1 Camaro but we ran into an issue. An individual bought the car from Carmax in 2021 they say he still owes $30k on it. He apparantly abandoned the vehicle at a repair shop and walked away from the repair shop bill and the loan. The repair shop went through the process to legally acquire the car and get it titled. They sold it to a dealership (who I spoke with), who sold it to the person I bought it from. Carmax Financial is telling me I have to go back to the repair shop (No clue what the shop is) and get them to figure it out, even though they went through the legal process in Tennessee to get the title. In a nutshell, some lowlife in Tennessee owes Carmax money and Carmax is making it my problem.

It was surprisingly easy. It was also seamless with State Farm for my claim. Caliber got me in the same day for an estimate & in the next day to start repairs. They took 8 days (extra few due to waiting on parts) but this was faster than their estimate. I felt their time estimate & cost estimate were fair & likely what any shop might quote. They called me every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday to give me updates on the repair so I never felt disconnected or concerned about how it was progressing or what was happening to "my baby" (KIA Stinger GT2). When I picked her up she looked perfect again (the most important part of this review!) No one *wants* to need their services ;) but if you do, I highly recommend them. Thank you Nicole (office manager) & Anthony (technician)!

They quoted me just under $3,000 to change the gaskets, replace the catalytic convertor, and a myriad of other parts and services related to replacing the exhaust system. They also recommended I change the spark plugs. I had new spark plugs installed less than 100 miles earlier. When I asked them about this, they said it was only a "mileage based recommendation". Why should I trust any of their other diagnoses if they wanted $205 to replace spark plugs I just had installed? When I declined the service, the guy assisting me at the counter requested $49 "to throw at the technician". Not wanting an argument at the counter, I paid and figured I'd dispute the charges later. They put on a good front with the bottled water, shuttle service, and Biblical references on their website. They seem to have forgotten Matthew 22:39; the first verse they quote..."Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" I was able to go to a local shop and they welded/fixed the flex pipe for $120 without any of the BS.

Then cue my frustrating insurance company wanting their own people to do inspection/estimate, which ended up being about a hundred less than what Joe had said. The claims adjuster made things sound really complicated when I called to tell her the prices didn't match; so I called Auto Top back for help.
