Ankers has done a good job maintaining my cars for the past 10 years. Except in one case (a defective speedometer in the instrument cluster that I eventually repaired myself), they have found the trouble, repaired it on time and almost always for less than I expect. Any items related to safety have been taken seriously, which I really appreciate. When I first moved to the area, they quickly won my loyalty and haven't done anything in 10 years to make me want to switch mechanics.

Ankers Auto is the only trustworthy and worthwhile place to bring your car for an outstanding support of service and helpful advice. Dave is brilliant and can instantly diagnose a problem and fix it before you know it. I can't say how many times I've heard friends and strangers alike say how much they enjoy Ankers Auto Service and that they trust no one else.

Honest and dependable mechanics, that is. Dave Anker and his staff are just that - honest and dependable - and so much more. In each of the towns/cities I have lived, I have made it a mission to find a great mechanic. I can make recommendations for various places in Ohio, more places than I care to think about in Iowa, and even one in Hitchins, England. To this list of exemplary automobile doctors I have added Dave and his compadres.

Ankers is the best service garage around. Dave is honest and stands behind the job he and his mechanics provide. His front desk help is always friendly and a pleasure to do business with as well! We've been going to Ankers for over 15 years and will continue as long as we own vehicles.

They are the wonderful, they all have a years of experience, even their office staff. I have been going to Ankers for years and wouldn't think of switching. He always gets to the route of the problem and fixes it.

I've been an Anker's customer for over 15 years and this is the story why... One nite my vw start running really rough and kept stalling, other mechanics couldn't even diagnos the problem. After many replaced parts, the problem persisted and a friend refered me to Anker's. Dave just listened to the running motor, went into the garage and grabbed an allen whench and with a twist, my car was back running strongly. In total disbelief, I tried to give Dave some money but he refused. That's why I'm a regular customer.

My 01 CRV check engine light came up so I took it to Anker's auto. They indentified the problem was an exhaus leak near the emmision sensor. Within 30 minutes, the problem solved at a resonable cost to me. Excellent job.

I found Ankers Auto Service shop about 4 years ago and haven't brought my car anywhere else since. I have had service on everything from brakes to new tires and oil changes to replacing the front end after a crash, the professionals in the office can take care of any auto body problem or service. Tonya in the front office is a great liaison between the service staff and the customer, there are never any surprises when you need something done and she is very friendly, which is a great value add.

Dave, the owner, has been on Van Vranken for at least 25 year that I can tell. When watching him deal with customers it is easy to tell why he's been in business for so long. At every turn he is looking for the best deal on parts, I have shopped around for my car and Ankers is always close to or better than the lowest price I can find on parts. I will always pay a premium for the excellent service I know, and trust, at Ankers. The relationships he has built with other merchants over the years are only a benefit to his customers.



This is just another rave review of the shop. You will find 25+ years of hand written notes to the same effect when you walk into the reception area.

My '97 Honda Accord was hit as I was stopped at a light. The car was "totaled" by the insurance company's appraiser. A co-worker recommended Ankers Auto to me. Ankers was able to repair my car for about half the appraiser's estimate and significantly under what the insurance company gave me for my car. They did a great job with the body work. There's no indication that the car had been hit. The staff at Ankers was friendly and courteous. I would definitely use them again for service and repairs.

Dave has been fixing my cars for years. I also trust them to go over my vehicle and find any problems or maintenance that is needed, that I may have overlooked. Dave and staff provide many years of knowledge and excellence. They stand behind their work and are always fair. My cars are getting old, and sometimes require special care. Dave's shop provides it at fair prices.



If there is ever a question about anything, Dave (the owner), is happy to deal directly with you honestly and expertly!



I rate this business as trusted, good results, and easy to do business with.

Great service on my BMW. I have been looking for someone who specializes in foreign cars and Dave provides a great service. He diagnosed and fix what others could not.
