Central Iowa Diesel — Local services in De Soto

I was traveling through West DesMoines on my way back to Colorado when I experienced issues with my Ram 2500 diesel. Seemed at first to be either fuel filter or fuel pump. Was next to impossible to make an appointment to get it looked at by most dealerships or mechanic shops in the area when I came across Central Iowa Diesel/Desoto on line. Made an appointment. Had my vehicle towed there. Turned out to be a damaged wiring harness from previous body shop work done in Colorado. While it took a little bit.......because locating bad wiring is no easy task. Chris and crew were able to pin point the the exact location of the break.... fix it and get me back on the road. Highly satisfied.......reasonable rate......no BS......honest.....great location, right off I80. Great feeling knowing you have a place to work on your vehicle you can trust. Highly recommend. Thanks...

I can't express enough how great this shop and the owner Chris were! I was traveling cross country to California till my turbo took a turn for the worse. I found them on google, called them up and asked if they could get me in the next day. They said they could but weren't sure what time. I took the truck there at 9am and explained the situation and that I had no where to go being it was my only vehicle. They went from not having an idea of when they could get started on it. To coming outside 15 mins later and pulling a truck out of the bay to get mine in. It took just under an hour and the price was exactly what they quoted me the day before. I highly recommend them! If I still lived in central Wisconsin I would make the drive to them just for regular maintenance, that's how much I trust them! If you're in the area don't hesitate call them up. Thanks...

It's hard to say you were lucky when you break down on a road trip, but I have to say breaking down at the same exit as Central Iowa Diesel was supremely lucky! My wife and I were hauling our 40 ft trailer and had the transmission on our truck start to make some horrible noises. We were able to limp it to their lot. Chris got her diagnosed quickly and for a good price got us back on the road as fast as he could. Communication was great the entire time! Even had some good recommendations for where we could stay while we waited. Back on the road now and truck is driving like she should, with decidedly less grinding crunching noises from our transmission! I would highly recommend this shop! They will shoot straight with you and take excellent...
