Great Shop!!!
"I'd like to take a moment to thank Scott from 2nd St Auto repair for replacing my transmission. He even picked my truck up. Scott is very knowledgeable, professional,and affordable. He got me back on the road pretty quick. I will definitely be back if I have other automotive repair needs. Thanks Scott your the best!!! "

"My alternator went out and I was sitting in a dead car on the side of I-80 during the coldest day of the year. I called Second Street Repair and they were able to accurately diagnose my issue over the phone, and Scott promptly came and picked me up and towed my car in. He set me up with a motel for the night and picked me up again in the morning. Scott and his crew worked into the night to ensure I could get back on the road and make it to Omaha in time. They charged me a very reasonable price. It is good to know there are honest and genuine people out there, like the folks at Second Street Repair."

"I had the best experience with Second Street Repair today. On our way home from holiday travels, our vehicle was overheating. To make a long story short, we had to leave our car at a different shop and have a family member pick us up 90 minutes from home. When we traveled back and picked it up, the vehicle overheated within 10 miles. Not wanting to return to a shop that did us no good, we turned to Google and found Second Street. We called and got the owner (his name is escaping me) who came out with his tow truck and got us within 20 minutes. He got the problem fixed while we waited in a comfortable waiting area. We were back on the road in about 2 hours with a FIXED vehicle.
I can't say enough good things about this shop. When you are 90 minutes from home, you are at the mercy of whomever is available. (Something I think the 1st shop took full advantage of.) We were treated with nothing but kindness. The shop was clean, and everyone who we encountered, including a cat and a dog, was so nice. The employees and regular customers had an easy rapport that only comes with trustworthy relationships. Pricing was more than fair.
If you are stranded on I80 near Atlantic - don't panic, Second Street will get you going. My advice would be to get there even if a different shop is closer. It will be worth a bigger tow bill to get to a place you can trust."

"I broke down on the highway in the middle of a 17 hour road trip with no friends or family living near by to help. I called second street for help towing my vehicle safely away from the highway and have it checked to see if it can be fixed at all. Scott was incredibly kind and recommended a locally owned Motel that would accept the dog we were traveling with and covered the initial payment for us since my friends and I didn't have cash to pay, and quickly got back to us to update that my car's motor was done for and wanted us to know asap so we could try to figure out what we'd do. When we found an interstate car rental we could use, the closest ones were an hour away. Scott went out of his way to find us someone who could drive us there, again covering the initial payment for us to guarantee that we could get back on the road sooner than later. My friends and I were able to get back on the road the day after my car broke down because of Scott and his crew doing such a good job and going above and beyond what their job asks of them. If I'm ever near Atlantic Iowa I'd go back to second street repair, the people are kind, trustworthy and do an amazing job with their work. Second Street Repair is one of the few car repair shops I know works to earn every single dollar they ask for and I feel so incredibly lucky to have broken down nearby, if it weren't for Scott and his crew we wouldn't have gotten home as quickly as we did."
