Best 12 Auto Repair Shops Near near Me in Champaign, IL (Update 2025)

Jada Hamer This place is truly amazing! From communication to pricing to the end result. Joel was the one who worked on my car and he did an amazing job and was truly efficient. Before I even picked up my car they made sure everything was working perfectly before letting me take it. The waiting room is nice and clean. The receptionist (Andrea) was so sweet and patience with me and my nana calling everyday lol. She was full of light and I would truly recommend this place. The owner himself was amazing and you can tell they care about your vehicle and wants to make sure their work is perfect. BY FAR THE BEST AUTO SHOP I BEEN TO OUT HERE!

Paul Han I was introduced to Pro Auto Fix after an accident. The body shop highly recommended them as they use Pro Auto Fix for their vehicles as well. I appreciate Eds honesty and expertise. Its always a challenge to find this kind auto mechanic. I plan to return again!

Angel Arocho THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER TO BRING YOUR VEHICLE FOR ANY REPAIRS, HAD MY CAR INSTALLED A ENGINE, BY ED, THE OWENER AND I AM VERY APRECIATED OF THE WORK HE DONE TO MY CAR, RUNS LIKE NEVER BEFORE JUST LIKE BRAND NEW, I ADVICE EVERYONE TO SEE HIM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ED, FROM ME AND MY WIFE. GRACIAS MY BROTHER.

Emily Burgener Evan at Beaumont has never let me down. He knows what my beat up old car needs. He is always honest and timely. He truly is a great guy with great prices. Even when my car needed work they couldn’t do, he led me to another great locally owned shop with great prices.

Rachel Yang I came in with a flat tire. Beaumont were able to get it checked out and order a replacement for me quickly. They were really patient with all the questions I had beforehand. The price is reasonable and I was able to pick up my car in two days. They even cleaned up all the tires for me. Overall great service and highly recommend!

Maegan Savage My experiences with Beaumont have been nothing but great. Evan at the front desk is super friendly. As a female I am always nervous when calling mechanics because I have no knowledge of cars and dont want to be taken advantage of. Beaumont does not make me feel that way. They are also very quick. My waits there are never long. Plus, their prices are reasonable! Thanks, Beaumont, for providing such great service!

Jeffery Roesler I went for a repair quote and Faith was very friendly and helpful. She ask one of the techs (Alex) if they would be able to repair in 10 days and he said it would take longer. They offered to stabilize the bumper for my drive to California with a few screws and recommended repairing there where I had a longer time window. I appreciated the customer service from the team that helped me including the front desk gentleman.

Christa Deterding Great, caring staff. My car was totaled by a family member at the house and I was upset about it. They were so nice and compassionate when I came to get my stuff out of it. They even offered to help me if I needed it because I couldnt get the stuff out before it was towed because I had broke my knee cap the day before my car was totaled. I also had a electric scooter platform off the back of it I couldnt get in my mothers car that day so I had to leave it. The day the wrecking company came to pick my car up Crash Champions was awesome and pulled it off for me and held it there until the next week until I was able to pick it up. Though they werent able to fix my car I would still highly recommend them!

drayton potthast Everyone that I spoke gave me amazing care. I had a great experience with crash champions. They are all great people, I recommend you go and get your car fixed with them.

Judy Emerick Was able to get me in the same day that i called. Quick diagnosis and explained what was needed. I was very satisfied with the work i had done and it didnt cost me an arm and a leg. Found myself a new mechanic. I recommend JnT Performance Automotive to all my friends and family.

CINDY LEWIS Very disappointed with the quality of work . Quoted a price for work I asked to be done, didn’t do the job completely that was asked, and also left old brake lines on with new. Never will I use this place again!

William Gillman Amazing service at an affordable price. He works with you.

Layne Barbee I am a returning client and have always enjoyed my experience, service and price from Norris Tire. The ladies at the front desk were excellent and helpful. The price I was quoted was less than what I had to pay, not sure why. My only suggestion to make the experience better is the tires/rims should be washed or wiped off before returning the clients car. Mine were terribly dirty with the tire sealer all over the tires and rims.

Jesse Ricky came out and took a ride with me to verify that he was hearing the same noise that I was telling him about. He was really great in the way he explained the repairs needed. Too technical for me. Sometimes it’s the small stuff.

Piper From Dawn My first visit to Norris was smooth, and I left thinking Id found a dependable place. That impression didn’t last long. Each visit after that has been increasingly disappointing. The front desk staff — especially the women working reception — come across as indifferent at best, and downright dismissive at worst. It’s as if basic courtesy is too much to ask. Today was a breaking point. I waited nearly 1 hour and 45 minutes for a routine oil change. When I finally asked what was going on, I was told — without so much as a sorry — that it would be another half hour. All around me, people who had just walked in were being helped, their cars serviced and returned, while mine sat untouched. The staff seemed busy calling one customer after another to let them know their cars were ready — just not mine. The place is clearly poorly managed. And it’s not just inefficient — it’s disrespectful. I’ve since checked and noticed plenty of reviews echoing this same experience. They seem to get high ratings mostly from first-time customers — which makes sense, since they appear to save their good behavior for newcomers. A two-hour wait for an oil change is absurd. The lack of accountability and courtesy makes it worse. Skip Norris. You can do better — literally anywhere else.

Christian Visit 1: I called and told them I have a 1957 Bel Air with a power glide and that I would like them to take a look. Lady at the front desk told me to bring it by. I called 4 hours later to ask about how it’s going. I was told that they couldn’t get to my car for the day. Aggravating, but I understand. I don’t like leaving my car outside in the rain across town but it happens. I just wish they didn’t tell me they were free to see me and then tell me that they can’t make it in. However, things happen and I wanted to be reasonable. Visit 2: My transmission is no longer operable and it’s not their fault at all. I called and asked if I can tow it and the lady said no problem. Same issue. 4 hours later I am back and paying for another tow to take my car home. They said that the transmission is too old, they don’t want to work on it and my vehicle still has not been brought inside. I’m out $130 in towing fees and my car hasn’t seen the inside of the shop. Both trips could have been avoided if they just communicated better. You could have told me EVERYTHING over the phone. My time and money have been wasted. Please save yours and avoid this spot. They did however offer for me to remove my transmission send it out or replace with another oem powerglide for $1700 not including the cost of repair or replacement, just the removal and reinstall. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

John Barclay Had a simple fix, but great experience. My diagnostic thingy said I needed a new transmission sensor which I replaced. Didnt help so took it here. They diagnosed it correctly as a cable issue and replaced it very cheaply. They also discouraged a transmission flush since it had been 180,000 miles since the last one. So 5 stars for what many lack: ability to diagnose and ability to limit scope of work.

Emmanuel Conde Brought my van in due to the vehicle veering left and abnormal vibrations on the highway. They called me back telling me nothing is wrong with the vehicle. Why would someone bring in their vehicle if theres nothing wrong with it? They charged me nonetheless..I do not recommend Crawford transmission at all. 07/31/24 Brought it to another shop for the same problems, they found that all 4 tires were egg shaped, out of balance and 3 out of 5 motor mounts were in need of replacement. I wish Crawford transmission would have checked like I had asked. But they seemed adamant that nothing was wrong with my vehicle. I also do not appreciate my phone call with them. As they told me that their technician said there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, I kept promising that there was something wrong. They proceeded to tell me that "I can keep telling them til Im blue in face..." Overall poor customer service.

Alayshia Jones If you’re looking for a miracle, here’s your place. Charlie and the guys really saved my life this summer, by repairing my car. I was quoted 6-10k through my insurance and other repair shops throughout the CU area, many not accepting credit card as a form of payment. Not only do they accept major credit cards with little to know percentage fee, they also charged a little over a third of what I was being quoted prior to. Even with a mishap in pieces and inflation, Charlie stayed true to his quote and diligently worked to seamlessly repair my vehicle. I am very pleased with the results and highly recommend these guys, they were extremely personable and professional. & I truly appreciate their services.

nina farmcat Charlie Seibert has one of the few places in Champaign-Urbana willing to repair minor to moderate rust damage. Repaired a rusted thru rear quarter panel dog-leg as well as rust damage to interior lower door panels and a door jamb on a 2005 LeSabre Limited Im restoring. The repaired areas have no visible imperfections and are "like new", the paint match with factory finish is perfect. Quality work at a resonable price, repairs made in the amount of time provided with Charlies estimate. Highly recommended.

Claudia Charlie is the best! I got rear ended (and she hit me twice!!) and had the back of my car totally smashed up. He was so nice and willing to work with me to get the best prices on parts. Being a college aged woman, you hear so often of us getting taken advantage of by auto shops. But Charlie did a stellar job and was so nice and kept me in the loop during the whole process. After I got my car fixed, the battery died and he had one of his workers come out to help me jump it. This was right when Covid-19 started and stores were running out of food and supplies and he even offered to help me out with groceries if needed. Truly one of the best mechanics/people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

Gemma Mcafee They were able to accommodate me same day and did a very thorough evaluation of my vehicle and had appropriate recommendations. Open and honest about cost up front and worked very quickly. You are mostly paying for the labor, the replacement parts and diagnostics are inexpensive.

angela schoon Great business! I am from out of town and picked up a screw in my tire so the low tire pressure light was on. I was pretty anxious about finding a place before the tire deflated more. They assured me they could look at it right away. They took it back, patched the tire and I was out within about 20 minutes. They were SO NICE!

Trent Balazi The appointment was easy to make. Everything was quick, affordable, and didn’t feel pushed into having other services done than what I needed at the moment. I’m confident in their ability to take care of what I need and will return soon for the other recommended services.

Hansol Chung Awesome people. My engine light came on and I stopped by without an appointment. They took a look at my car immediately and told me I had close to no oil. The mechanic got me all the oil he can find in the shop and told me to get oil change as soon as possible. Didnt even charge me for anything. Will definitely come back for any car issues.

Carrie Segal My minivan had a series of engine misfires on a cross country road trip, and fortunately it happened next to this repair shop. I called them up and the staff was friendly, suggested I come right in for a tune-up. They were able to get new spark plugs and ignition coils installed, and I was back on the road within 6 hours. Their price was reasonable for the combination of speed and quality I was looking for and my original mechanic for my van had told me the same thing about it also needing a new gasket for this work on this van. I would definitely recommend this shop and appreciate their employees who went beyond to help me get going, even taking a late lunch to finish putting my auto back together faster.

Ian Wallace Called in for a muffler repair, got it in the next day and they completed the repair within 3 hours. Good service and fast, wouldve cost much more from the dealership.

Pat Reynolds The third shop to work on my car, Mone found multiple small problems that kept my engine light on. He kept at it, at very a reasonable price, found parts for me that I bought and he installed. Great shop, Ill be a return customer. I cant recommend this guy enough!

jay bengco I have an 07 Odyssey that has 200k mile on it. It had an oil leak. It also needed brake rotors and pads. Then after all that, the timing belt and water pump needed to be replaced. He has the best price in the area! The owner is very honest, friendly and very experienced. I left the car on Friday and he even worked on it on a weekend. When I picked up the car, he gave me a big discount without me asking for it! This guy is the best!

Rene Cortez I took my car to this place because I saw great reviews. Those reviews are most likely fake. I told them that the car made a noise when it went over bumps. They said they took it out for a test drive then claimed that it was leaking. They claimed that the transmission was the problem but my dad just checked it out and he said everything was good. The problem we found were the struts. I took it to a mechanic in Chicago and they immediately found the problem. What a waste of $300. I do not recommend this place. The receipt showed that they changed some bars but my dad said that they didn’t change anything. My dad put the parts it already had himself. I am so mad that I lost $300 for nothing. I had to pay over $300 now for the struts to fix the problem.

Alison Jordan-frost I have had such a positive experience with the university car-x location! last week when I found I had a flat, the guys got to it and got tires put on for me and it was during the weekend! The next week I was having a front end issue and an antifreeze issue they again got me right in. They were knowledgeable, fast, and it didn’t break the bank! Big shout out to the store manager! Thank you guys I feel my car is safe and ready our road trip! PS I will definitely be a return customer!

Tyler Keown Do not go here under any circumstances, the manager cussed me out over the phone when I was trying to resolve a problem. They give faulty inspections, and do not mark anything right on them. They will break your brake lines intentionally And expect you to fix them and pay for it. This is by far the worst mechanic shop in Champaign Urbana area Never go here… They gave me a inspection on breaks and said my break lines were all good then my break line goes out on the interstate and I almost wreck do not shop here Or get an inspection here they don’t care about you and they don’t care about your life if your car breaks down while you’re driving it… and I already talked to customer service which was no help

Obaro Samson Very terrible experience. I had a flat right tire and I took the vehicle to the shop for it to be fixed. I was told I needed to change the my tires, Wheel Bearing, Tie Rod End and Wheel alignment. Each parts on the quote was 3x the market price for such parts. I was told it will take 2hrs to fix. The repair guy left the car unattended and it was not ready until after 4hrs. I took the keys and wanted to drive home, there was a very bad noise (like a rod dragging on the ground) coming from the Front Passenger’s side. I took the car back immediately and I was told the repair guy had gone (closing time was suppose to be 7PM- but here is a repair guy leaving by 5PM). I observed that the nuts were not properly screwed. The Rude staff behind the desk said there was nothing to be done. Next day, I can back and I am told the CV Axel Shaft for that side is bad and need to be fixed. I got another 3x price quote from the rude staff saying nothing can be done till Monday. I was asked to pay for tab damage that was not on my car or their diagnostic report for the car - which was likely a result of poor work. I will not recommend this place to anyone looking to do a good job on their car. If the shop wants to stay in business, they need to work on their staff. No one gets a reward for being rude and handling a business badly probably because it doesn’t belong to them.

Jayme Schmidt From the beginning everyone there was so helpful and kind. They gave me an estimate, ran it through my insurance, and even gave me a ride to Enterprise. The finished product was beautiful. I don’t think my car even looked that good when I bought it. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

Christopher Kempf Incredible and friendly service—I would highly recommend. I needed a small repair to my bumper, and Mr. Auto Body fixed it within fifteen minutes. I had expected to come back for the car in two days or something. They are extremely professional, kind, and considerate.

Laxmi N Rao Ive had an outstanding experience with this auto body shop over the past several years. Theyve handled both major and minor repairs for me—two major collision repairs (for my Toyota Camry and Sienna) as well as several smaller fixes over the years. Each time, the work was done with exceptional care and quality, whether through insurance (AAA and Allstate) or out of pocket. A big part of why I keep coming back is because of Mike. Hes extremely knowledgeable, honest, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure youre taken care of. You can tell he genuinely wants the best outcome for the client. Their pricing is very reasonable, especially if youre on a budget—they work with you and never upsell or pressure. I’ve recommended this shop to many of my friends for body repairs, and they’ve all had great experiences as well. If you’re looking for reliable, fairly priced, and trustworthy auto body work, this is the place to go.
