Ace Auto Doctor & Repair

Ace Auto Doctor & Repair is a tire shop in Bettendorf, Iowa. The family-owned and operated shop has served the Bettendorf area since 1969, when Larry Goff Sr. opened Ace Radiator Shop in a one-bay garage in Davenport, Iowa, focused on radiator repair and heater and automotive cooling system work. Larry Goff Jr. now leads the business, and its ASE-certified technicians repair and maintain import and domestic vehicles, specializing in BMW, MINI, Mercedes-Benz, and Jeep. Parts and labor carry a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty, and every service includes a complimentary 45-point vehicle inspection. The shop serves Bettendorf, Davenport, Le Claire, Eldridge, and Moline.

The business grew from a one-bay garage to a two-bay facility in Bettendorf, then added bays, hoists, and employees before moving in 2005 to a larger building with seven bays for seven mechanics. In 2009, Ace Auto & Radiator became Ace Auto Doctor & Repair. The team brings over 125 years of combined experience, and technicians are hired for their attitude and then trained in-house. Owner Larry Goff Jr. has said his passion is helping people plan and budget for automotive services.

Customers are offered complimentary rides to and from home or work, vehicle pick-up and drop-off, and loaner cars for longer repairs. The waiting area has free Wi-Fi, water, coffee, and a kids' play place. The shop participates in the nationwide Wheels to Prosper program, which awards a late model, fully inspected and repaired vehicle to a deserving individual, and it adopts "orphaned" vehicles from defunct manufacturers such as Pontiac and SAAB. In 2019, the shop received the 50-year Business Achievement award from the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce. It supports local charities including Toys for Tots, the Junior Board of Rock Island County, Children's Miracle Network of the Quad Cities, and the American Red Cross of the Quad Cities.
