Driving in Iowa

I-80 crosses Iowa from Council Bluffs through Des Moines and Iowa City to the Quad Cities, and I-35 runs north-south through Des Moines toward Minnesota and Kansas City. I-380 links Iowa City, Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, I-29 follows the Missouri River through Sioux City and I-74 and I-280 cross the Mississippi in the Quad Cities. Blizzards and ice can close I-80 and I-35, wind drives snow across open farmland and spring brings flooding on the big rivers.

What mobile mechanics fix most in Iowa

Cold is the big story. Below-zero wind chills kill weak batteries and strain starters, and many Iowans add block heaters or battery warmers. Heavy salt and sand corrode brake lines, fuel lines and exhaust systems, and spring freeze-thaw potholes wear out tie rods, ball joints and struts. Summers are hot and humid with severe storms, hail and fallen limbs, and floods on the Cedar, Des Moines, Iowa and Mississippi rivers soak cars. Mobile mechanics handle most of these repairs on-site.

Car battery service in Iowa

Cold is the big battery story in Iowa. Below-zero wind chills cut a battery's cranking power while thick oil makes the engine harder to turn, and many Iowans add a block heater or battery warmer to get through January. Salt corrodes terminals and cables, and hot, humid summers do hidden damage first. Batteries here commonly last four to five years. A mobile battery service tests, jump starts or replaces the battery in the driveway, the parking ramp, the plant lot or the farmyard.
