Family-Owned Excellence Rooted in Small Town Values

What sets auto repair apart at Soper Automotive? It’s our commitment to fixing things right the first time, a principle rooted in owner Brian’s farm upbringing where equipment had to work reliably or the whole operation suffered. Since opening our doors to the Des Moines community in 2019, we’ve built our reputation on the understanding that we’re not just fixing cars, we’re keeping families mobile and businesses running. Our journey began when Brian combined his natural mechanical aptitude with formal training through the DMACC ASEP program in 1994, later achieving GM World Class Technician status in 2009. Together with his wife Amy, who transitioned from nursing to automotive service, we bring decades of experience to every repair. Located at 6800 Hickman Rd, Windsor Heights, IA 50324, our shop serves both residential and commercial customers who rely on dependable transportation for everything from getting kids to practice to ensuring service professionals can respond to emergency calls.
