What Customers are Saying About Kustom Truck & Tire
See why our customers consider Kustom Truck & Tire the go-to commercial truck repair shop in Des Moines, IA!
Great mobile service and reasonable rates for our cicistances. Gave us cost estimate right away over the cell phone. Knowledgeable field service staff and Manager. Thanks 👍
Shopped around for pricing and Kustom came in lowest. Called me as soon as they were in and got them on 2 days later. They ensured my alignment was correct with bigger tires and gave me all the info to ensure my torque specs were good after a few days of driving. Rims and lug covers don’t have a scratch on them.
Fantastic find! On our way across country and had tire problems on a 36 foot trailer and these guys had the space and equipment to get new rims, tires mounted and balanced and back on the road. And they did it quicker than any other tire place I've ever been to! Highly recommended, thanks gentlemen!
Very professional company the entire way through. Owner and employees are very respectful and easy to work with on job sites. Very quick to respond and do a high caliber job. Will hire them for all our concrete pumping and dump truck needs.
