Service Area — Central Iowa Truck, Trailer & Hydraulic Repair

Ames Hydraulics is based in Ames, but our service area reaches across central Iowa — and within 60 miles we will come pick up your truck, trailer, or equipment, fix it, and bring it back. If you run heavy iron anywhere in the region, we are closer and more capable than you might think.

Free Pickup and Delivery Within 60 Miles of Ames

A broken truck or trailer is hard to move, so we move it for you. Our free pickup-and-delivery service area covers a 60-mile radius of Ames, which reaches the entire Des Moines metro and most of central Iowa. You pay for the repair, not the hauling, and you do not have to tie up a driver and a truck getting it to us.

Towns and Areas We Serve

Our service area includes Ames and the surrounding towns, the Des Moines metro, and the regional communities across central Iowa, including:

• Story County: Ames, Nevada, Story City, Gilbert, Huxley, Slater, Cambridge, Maxwell, Roland, Colo, Zearing
• Des Moines metro: Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Johnston, Grimes, Waukee, Altoona, Bondurant
• Boone County: Boone, Madrid, Ogden
• Marshall County: Marshalltown, State Center
• Hardin, Hamilton & Webster Counties: Iowa Falls, Webster City, Fort Dodge, Jewell
• Dallas & Jasper Counties: Perry, Adel, Newton
• Greene & Marion: Jefferson, Pella

If your town is not on the list but you are in the region, call us — the 60-mile pickup zone covers a lot of ground, and we ship work in from far beyond it.

What We Do Across the Region

Wherever you are in our service area, you get the full shop: hydraulic repair and cylinder rebuilds, trailer repair, welding and fabrication, DOT inspections, wet kit installation, tank repair, and a full machine shop. It is the heavy, structural, and hydraulic work that keeps farms, fleets, and contractors running.

Ship It In From Anywhere

Beyond our pickup service area, customers ship us cylinders, pumps, and valves from all over the country. We rebuild them and ship them back, often faster than a local shop can get a new part. So even if you are well outside central Iowa, we can still handle your hydraulic work.

Serving the Des Moines Metro

The Des Moines metro is a big part of our service area. We have dedicated pages for the metro — see trailer repair, hydraulic repair, and welding and fabrication in Des Moines — all served from our Ames shop with free metro pickup.

Why a Regional Shop Beats the Closest One

The closest shop is not always the one that can fix the problem. Heavy structural welding, aluminum work, cylinder rebuilding, and full hydraulic diagnosis take equipment and experience a lot of small-town shops do not have. Because our service area is regional and we pick up within 60 miles, you get a specialized heavy-repair shop without the long drive — we come to you, or you ship the part.

Industries We Serve Across Central Iowa

Our service area is built around the work that runs the region: farms and ag operations, trucking companies and owner-operators, construction and concrete crews, municipal and county fleets, and industrial and plant maintenance. The common thread is heavy equipment that has to stay running, and hydraulic, welding, and structural repair that has to be done right the first time.

One Shop for Every Service

Spreading repairs across multiple vendors costs time and coordination. Across our whole service area, you get one shop that does hydraulics, welding and fabrication, trailer and tank repair, DOT inspections, wet kits, and machine work — on one invoice, in one building. For a fleet or a farm counting uptime, that is the real advantage.

Not Sure If You Are in Range?

Just ask. Tell us where you are and what you have, and we will tell you whether you are in the free pickup zone or whether shipping makes more sense. Either way, our service area is bigger than most shops, and the work is done right. Call or text Ames Hydraulics at 515-292-2599.
