I will always recommend east side to anyone who needs a mechanic. They've done amazing work on my car over the years and I don't trust my car in anyone else's hands besides John and Deb

My fiancé and I are living in Iowa for work right now. I had gotten in a car crash and my insurance company, StateFarm offered a list of body shops that were partnered with them. East Side Body Shop was 1 of the 2 that was in a 30 min. drive from where I live. I decided to choose this shop based on its reviews.I called 10 mins after they opened the next day, John, the owner, picked up immediately and I explained my situation. He told me he had gotten power back last night (this was after the land hurricane in Iowa) and if I could give him an hour or so. That was fine. When I got there, there was one couple John was working with and 2 other customers after me. While John wasn’t able to get to me yet, Lisa was great with helping me by answering all my questions, taking pictures of the damages to my car, and making sure that John knew I was next (other customers not waiting their turn), which was sweet.John talked me through the process of what his shop can do fix my damages. He answered my questions about my car & insurance process and I also learned neat facts about him and his family business.When I finally got to pick up my car, I remember saying “ that doesn’t even look like my car” and “dang she’s so pretty!” I wouldn’t have even known that there was any damage at all. The whole two doors replaced, frame wasn’t dented, and even tinting that matched my other side!I was so pleased with eveything. The checking process was super easy (StateFarm made it easy too). John, Lisa, & Deb we’re so nice to me and made me feel welcomed. Which is great since I’m from Florida and don’t know many people here. This was the first insurance claim I had to do by myself and I’m glad I had a body shop to go to that didn’t take advantage of me.Cons: I do have two things I can note that some people may find as a negative. Personally, it didn’t bother me.- Wait time for John to see my car was about 40 mins. However, this WAS after a huge storm, so, many people had damaged cars. I was able to use this time to make phone calls and clean my car.- Not many phone calls for “updates”. Most of the time, I had to call to ask. But like I said, they’re busy. Usually I wouldn’t really care how long it took, but I am moving to another state in a week.Turn around time: 1 weekServices: Painting, Body & Trim

I don't Know how they are as a body shop but as for mechanic I would not take another vehicle there to have worked on. took a jeep there to have it worked on and they replace some parts and did not fix it. They also cut off the exhaust before the catalytic convertor and replaced it with a glass pack. Last time i knew this was illegal to drive i car without the cat or for a shop to leave a car without one after the 70's. Ended up putting a lot more money into it to get it fixed right. Like I said they might be good as a body shop but that about it.

I have bought 3 rebuilt vehicles from John and each one has exceeded our expectations. Our current two vehicles have 140,000 and 100,000 miles on them and nothing has gone wrong with them. We are in the process of looking for a new vehicle to have John rebuild.

They are great people. John I just can't thank you enough. You fixed my truck and I'm loving it. Next time I know where to go but I'm hoping that won't be any time soon lol.

I was in a pinch when a family member acidentally put gas in my diesel. East Side Body Shop was able to get my car flushed clean and drivable during a busy schedule.

Worst possible service you can imagine. The guy, John is so rude and crude I will not return and advise anyone who looks for reviews to search elsewhere in a heartbeat. 0 stars!!!
