My first time using this company I needed to get the film off my headlights and the did a terrific…read morejob they look brand new they also did a routine check of my ridgeline and gave some great information with approx cost I will be glad to use them again

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with my experience at this mechanic shop. I trusted this…read morebusiness with my truck, expecting it to be properly cared for and secured while in their possession. Unfortunately, that trust was completely misplaced. While my truck was at their facility, it was left parked outside in an area with no security cameras. During that time, my tools were stolen out of my truck. What makes this situation even more frustrating is that I have kept these same tools in my truck for over three years without a single issue. Not once in those three years did I have a problem with theft, until I trusted this shop with my vehicle. That alone makes this experience even more disappointing. To make matters worse, the shop refused to take any responsibility for what happened. Not only was my property stolen while my vehicle was in their care, but the business showed no willingness to accept accountability for the situation. As a customer, I understand that a business cannot prevent every crime. However, I do expect a professional repair facility to take reasonable precautions to protect customers' vehicles and belongings. I also expect management to show some level of concern when something like this happens. These were tools that I worked hard to purchase, and replacing them will come at a significant financial cost. Instead of receiving support or accountability, I was left dealing with the consequences myself. The lack of security is concerning, but the complete lack of accountability is even more disappointing. I would strongly caution anyone considering bringing their vehicle here. Before trusting this business with your property, ask yourself whether you're comfortable leaving your vehicle somewhere that has no camera coverage and where management refuses to take responsibility when something happens. Three years of keeping my tools in my truck without a problem, and it only took one visit to this shop for that to change. I trusted this shop with my truck, and that trust was completely broken. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this business.

I'm from St. Louis and traveling to Madison, WI weekly for work. My car broke down right outside…read moreLincoln IL on 55N (3 hours from home). The dealership that was the closest wasn't able to get it in for a week. I googled auto repair shop Lincoln IL to see what was available and Charron's came up. Of course I was nervous due to the fact that I am not great with car repair and had my lifelong mechanic back home plus I did not know the reputation of any repair shop in/around Lincoln. Pat and Carol are wonderful. They answered my questions, were very accomodating, and even offered to look up numbers of other auto shops nearby for me since they were not able to get my car in that day (they were able to get it in the next day which was fine). They worked with my warranty company even though the warranty company did not want to work with them. I could just go on all day about them and how wonderful a business they run. It was very refreshing considering the type of treatment you usually get with corporate auto repair shops. They made a very stressful situation much less stressful. For that I am grateful. I would more than recommend Charron's to anyone who happens to break down near Lincoln IL or live in Lincoln IL. :). Oh.. and they also have a very nice waiting room and wifi.

They have fair prices but more importantly they are trustworthy. The local Chevy dealership told me…read moreI need $800 worth of front end work on my truck to fix the road noise and vibration, but I had Charron give me a 2nd opinion. After looking at it a driving the truck he told me it was a bad tire, and he was correct. That means a lot to me and I have given him all of my business after that interaction.
