Ericson Auto 314 Southwest Pleasant Street, Ankeny, IA 50023

"Bought a car from him that was in okay condition, I drove it for a couple weeks and everything started going bad lights started turning on when I would send it it back he would make me pay for the repairs although it has been a issue since I bought it! If you wanna get scammed for a used car go to him !"

"Great service, these guys are amazing, the job they do to fix my cars every time is needed is very good, very reliable and affordable price. So glad we have them. If you need help with you vehicle Ericson Auto is the best company in town."

"Was looking for used affordable car and came across Ericson Auto. I was in the market for a Toyota camry and after talking to Dayton he was able to get me a Toyota camry in the price range I could afford. Friendly people here, took care of me and made sure the car was good to go before I pick it up. If you're looking for a used car I would recommend Ericson Auto. Yes keep in mind when buying a used cheap car it will have some problems cuz obviously it's not brand new, but that should be expected when buying a used car. Other than that good experience."

"I purchased a vehicle from him earlier this year. Needless to say, I would never purchase another thing from this guy. He buys cars at auction, hides numerous defects, and simply lies. He runs a very shady business, and is one of the most dishonest people I’ve ever met. Do not walk, run from this place. He picks up cars very cheaply at auction, and does nothing with them and goes out of his way to hide defects. And, to top it off, he’s extremely rude. you can probably tell by his comments."

"I bought an '03 Santa Fe back in October of 22 and it is now April 23. I bought a car for a decent price and hadn't even driven it more than 3000 miles in the several months I've had it. the transmission completely gave out - there's no way a successful body shop couldn't tell if there was this type of problem with a car. "Who knows what you did to it during the winter but yet somehow you want to blame me for problem you caused on a 20-year-old vehicle? That's quite a stretch" - The Owner. Not a great way to interact with a disgruntled customer, and not a great idea to assume in the months I had driven it, with very little mileage added, that I, or anyone, could have ruined an entire transmission. Updated a week ago from my original review: "People always looking for someone to blame" - The Owner. I'm wondering how a used car that the owner had gone over, checked to make sure it was running well, and miss something so big like a transmission issue. In the six to seven months I've had this car there is no way that I can ruin a completely fine transmission, as the owner did not mention ANY problems with the transmission, even when asked. When the owner of a shop can't take responsibility for an important problem with a car, I wouldn't call this owner an actual "mechanic". This is just a man who flips cars to people who are desperate. Do not trust this auto shop."
