What a wonderful auto shop. Quick. Honest. Fair pricing all with a friendly, like your family feel.

As a teenage girl who has always been told to watch out when it comes to mechanics this place is the perfect place for me to go! Every time I've gone in for little problems they have solved them quickly and a lot of time with no or little charge! Absolutely fantastic people who deserve the world for being so trustworthy. I do not know what I would do without them! read more

Honest, reliable and straightforward. Collin & John always do a great job explaining what needs to be done. Several times I brought my car in thinking it was going to be a major repair & found out it was something very simple. I would highly recommend Hilgarts. read more

Excellent service, honest treatment, fair prices. I've been bringing my car to Hilgart's since 2016 when it was recommended by a friend. My car is older and needs regular tinkering, and they're really good at letting me know what can wait if I need it to. I've stopped in with questions, and even though I'm not leaving the car, they are always helpful. The repairs they have done have been top-notch. Even when they couldn't make a repair (proprietary - dealer only repair), they helped me get a good deal on a tow - to Sycamore! (closest dealer) I've even called them from the road because something was wrong and I needed help to make sure I didn't taken at an unknown mechanic - they were patient, kind, and helpful over the phone. I don't take my car anywhere else since finding Hilgart's. read more

I was extremely disappointed when I brought my car here and paid $400 for them to fix the heat in my car. I was told I needed a radiator and heater core flush as well as a thermostat. I picked my car up heat worked for 2 days and then stopped. Brought it back and they flushed it again. When I got it back it was still not right, heat would work then suddenly stop working. When we called back the guy who answered was extremely rude and made my husband feel like it was his fault some how. I should mention the man who answered was retiring that week so im sure he's gone now. Since all of this a month ago my car has since had issues unrelated to the heat and we have replaced the vehicle itself. I actually brought my new vehicle elsewhere because I refuse to be treated like that. We paid $400 nothing was fixed and we were treated with no respect. read more

My neighbor recommended Hilgart's and when my car started making a mystery noise, I decided to give them a try. It turned out to be a simple fix which they repaired immediately. I appreciate their honest, ethical, and superior service. read more

We just had my truck fixed here and it was the best experience with a mechanic shop that we've ever had. My truck was making a strange noise and had been having AC trouble for a long time along with an oil leak and they were able to get us in right away to look at and see what the problem was. We dropped it off and after a couple hours they called us and we came over to see what needed fixed. They were incredibly courteous and took the time to actually walk us through what needed to be done which no other mechanic has ever bothered to do for us. They were also very quick! We thought our truck be there over the weekend but it was done the next day by 5. Overall, they were great and we will most likely use them in the future! read more

Well, John and the guys helped me out again. I had a terrible growling noise coming from my car. They diagnosed and fixed it right away. I trust that these guys are out to help you, not take advantage of you. read more

Hilgart's replaced my battery about a year ago. After that I would come out to a dead battery having not driven it for 4 days or so. After having to jump it constantly for the next 6 months from the time Hilgart's replaced it, I brought it back to them. They did some tests and told me something in the car must be draining the battery. I then took it to the Ford dealership where I paid $120 only for them to tell me it was a bad battery. At this point I didn't know what to do so I continue to jump the car for the next 6 months. At this point it had been a year since I bought the battery I again took it back to Hilgart's they wouldn't replace the battery that was under warranty saying they needed to do more testing and that the battery seemed fine. I showed them the report from the dealership stating that it was a bad battery and told them they must replace the battery. I was told no that if they did that they would lose money. I said I don't care if you lose money what about the $120 I lost at the dealership. I said just give me my car and I left the store.10 minutes later they called me and told me they would replace the battery. After myself and another family member had been loyal customers of Hilgart's for many, many years we will not be using them again. What a hassle. read more

Great place. Honest, reasonable and fair pricing. Would recommend to anyone looking for routine maintenance and /or car repairs.
