Our Story

Hildreth Garage – Trusted Auto Repair Excellence with a Hometown Touch

Hildreth Garage has been a proud part of the Norwalk, IA community since opening its doors in 2010, but the foundation of the business began long before that. After spending years working for another auto mechanic, our founder felt called to build something of his own—an auto repair shop where honesty, craftsmanship, and community truly mattered. With that vision in mind and a passion for delivering dependable automotive care, Hildreth Garage was born. Fifteen years later, that same commitment still drives everything we do. What started as one mechanic with a dream has grown into a thriving shop staffed by three highly skilled technicians who share the same passion for quality results and genuine customer service.

At Hildreth Garage, we take pride in providing the kind of small-town feel that puts customers at ease while delivering big-town results that instill confidence on every drive. Our team works on most anything under the hood, offering a wide range of essential automotive services to keep your vehicle safe, reliable, and performing at its best. Whether it’s routine maintenance or complex repairs, we approach every job with integrity and attention to detail, ensuring that your vehicle receives exceptional care from start to finish. As a premier auto repair shop specializing in tire services, we are known throughout the greater Norwalk area for dependable tire repairs, replacements, and maintenance that help keep you rolling smoothly.

Beyond tire services, Hildreth Garage offers comprehensive mechanical and diagnostic solutions to support every aspect of your vehicle’s performance. Our brake services ensure your safety on the road, while our steering and suspension repairs restore stability, comfort, and control. For issues beneath the surface, our auto electrical services, engine diagnostics, and drivetrain repairs are performed with precision and expertise. We also provide alternator and starter replacements, timing belt service, water pump repairs, and full transmission services—giving customers a trusted, one-stop shop for nearly all automotive needs.

Scheduled maintenance is another cornerstone of our work. From fluid checks and filter replacements to system inspections and tune-ups, we help prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your vehicle. Our technicians take the time to explain their recommendations clearly, empowering customers with the information they need to make confident decisions about their care. We believe transparency builds trust, and trust is the foundation of every long-term customer relationship we value so deeply.

At Hildreth Garage, safety and satisfaction are always our top priorities. We understand the importance of having a reliable vehicle for work, family, and everyday life, which is why we approach every repair—big or small—with the same level of dedication. Our customers know they can rely on us for honest service, fair pricing, and results they can count on. With a reputation built over 15 years of hard work and community commitment, we are proud to be Norwalk’s trusted partner for all things automotive.

I can't recommend the place enough. Matt is super responsive and always helpful and fairly priced. With as many nails as I get in tires, it's safe to say I'm a regular here. I'll be getting new tires ordered here in the future as well

We have a 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman. After calling around to several Mechanics I found most do not work on Minis, except dealerships, and then we found Matt at Hildreth Garage. He was very courteous, prompt and knowledgeable in his trade. We will definitely be back! Thank you Matt at Hildreth Garage.
