Serving Boone and Boone County for Heavy-Duty Diesel Service
Boone is approximately 20 minutes northwest of our Ames shop on US-30 - one of our closest service communities. Boone County has a mix of agricultural operations, construction contractors, and county and municipal fleet vehicles that run a significant number of diesel-powered trucks and equipment. US-30 through Boone carries commercial traffic heading west toward Carroll and east toward Ames and the I-35 corridor.
Agricultural diesel equipment in Boone County faces some of the most demanding operating conditions we see. Harvest season from August through October means equipment and haul trucks running extended daily hours in dusty, high-load conditions that accelerate air filter clogging, fuel system contamination, and overall engine wear. Because we are just 20 minutes away, mobile response to Boone is fast.

In-shop service is equally accessible - the US-30 drive to our Ames facility is direct and avoids metro traffic entirely. We get to Boone-area breakdowns faster than most shops can respond from Des Moines.
Fleet Maintenance for Boone Operations
Boone County fleet operators - grain elevator operations, county road construction contractors, agricultural co-ops - benefit from our proximity. A 20-minute mobile response versus 45-60 minutes from Des Moines is a real operational advantage when equipment is sitting idle in a field.
When a truck in Boone cannot be repaired on-site, Central Iowa Towing and Recovery handles transport to our Ames facility. You call one number. We dispatch the mobile tech and, if needed, the tow. No coordinating two separate companies from the side of the road.
