I decided to place a request on Yelp for someone to give us a estimate on the repairs. Thirty minutes later I received an e-mail estimate from Elijah from Whitley Automotive. The estimate was more than reasonable and we brought the car to him to repair later that week. The job was done in a timely fashion and we went ahead and asked him if he could do an oil change as well. He said give him an hour and the car was ready to be picked up. We were very pleased with the work Elijah performed and the cost. To this day we haven't had any issues with the car what so ever. Gerald J. Cedar Falls

Over the holidays, my Jeep Wrangler's heater core went bad, leaving me in a tough spot. Shawn went above and beyond--offering not only to fix my Jeep but to meet me halfway between Texas and Iowa to ensure I could get home safely. His commitment to customer care and genuine concern for my situation is something you don't come across often. If you're looking for a team that truly cares, Boubin and Shawn are the ones to trust. Highly recommend!

I don't know anyone else there but I can say I have never had a problem with my stuff after it was fixed. Yes the is some people a little cheaper but, you get what you pay for. And it don't amount to much more with a store of the same calabor. I swear to God I am a real long term customer. 35+ years going there. And I only go there no more than 1 time a year. But they treat me like im a high dollar customer. So I'm going to say to Shaun. "Bro you run a great shop". O and also the service is 2nd to none.

To start this off, my car needed two new back tires. They were getting in the "potentially illegal"…read morezone because their tread was so worn. (Fun fact! It's illegal in some areas to drive without at least 2/32 of your tread left.) Anyway, my local dealer quoted me $500+ to replace both tires including tire cost and labor cost. For two tires. Ouchies. So, I was pretty quick to run nearly-screaming the other way. After hearing dubious stories about some other tire stores as well as doing some checking into online reviews, the 5th Street Tire Co came up having good reviews. I gave them a call as I wanted a same-day appointment, and they gave me their earliest available time. It was an hour later than I could make it. I asked for an earlier time, and they said "Okay. We'll make it work." Yay! Their quoted price was $350 which was definitely a nice price break compared to what my dealer wanted. They said it would take less than an hour. When it came time for my appointment, I showed up a half-hour earlier just in case they could fit me in earlier. It took a bit of time for someone to show up at the front desk, but once they did, they were super helpful and assured me it'd be next in queue. They have a small waiting area that was showing a soap opera. It's definitely not the "highest" quality of seating or anything, but it was more comfortable than other places I've been, and it was quite and comfortable enough to read a book I'd brought. I did take a short stroll outside, but the nearby residential neighborhood struck me as slightly concerning, so I'm not sure I'd recommend taking a walk unless you're familiar with the neighborhood. Despite dropping it off a half-hour earlier, they still had my tires changed, rotated, and ready within an hour - and get this! It ended up only being $250! I pretty much cut my original quoted price in half, and they did a fantastic job. Throughout the entire process, they were extremely friendly and accommodating, and nobody once tried to upsell me anything. Nobody tried to fake me into purchasing new brakes, getting the oil changed (though that would have been warranted since it's due for a new change in 200 miles), or anything. Nothing about it felt "shady", and I never once felt anything but respected as a customer. Very impressed compared to the horror stories I always hear about tire places. Everyone was courteous, extremely happy to work around my schedule, and really friendly. I'm super, duper happy with my service here, and I will go out of my way to buy tires here again in the future.

I was looking around for a good deal on a tire rotation and oil change. Called last Wednesday and…read morewas able to get in the same day. Parking is a little weird and confusing, but the people are really nice and helpful. Got there at 1:30pm and was done and out the door in 38 minutes. They even added a coupon to my transaction so I didnt have to pay more that day. My total came to be 61.37 for a synethic oil change and tire rotation. I also dont agree with a previous persons reveiw about the neighborhood being iffy. This place is right near downtown Waterloo, within walking distance! Will totally being coming back here!

So you sell me a vehicle that you know three under three babies are gonna be in so what , right??? that my daughter ends up on the side of a highway with three small kids. Conscious is something that all humans have a capability of expressing. So I hope when your counting your money at the end of a sale that it sticks on your consciousness, cuz everyone has one, that you are knowingly selling large pieces of metal that will be a death trap for my grandkids. Does this keep you awake probably not. Too bad that I'm not one of those controllable females that you think our world should be filled with. This review will not be taken down ever. You are the typical used car sales man swindling hard working people out of their money. Karma will be visiting you soon. There are others that you knowly sold useless cars and I will find some so they too can express what a dishonest sales/business owner you are. Look forward to more posts soon . Autopro went bankrupt here in waterloo cuz they were doing the same as this business, look them up it is public record. So go ahead and put you money in the firepit if you buy here or do business with .

It ended up costing twice what they said it would, someone played with the crane in the back of his truck and broke a piece of the headache rack, they broke the spare tire holder, they took the face plate off the radio and didn't put it in the glove box. Called to let the manager know what all happened to the truck and he said they don't carry insurance to cover other people's vehicles and the argued that the radio face plate was in the glove box; which he called back and said it was put under the seat. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
