The estimate came up more than twice as high that we had got from another shop in the area! I ask the lady on the phone what they were doing to the car? It wasn't anything different from the other shop, but more than twice the cost of the other shop. I told the lady that they are completely too high and out of line! How can they expect an student to pay this kind of repair bill ? This is an old car that is probably worth less than their repair bill! By the way beware this shop charges for estimates too, the other shop didn't charge us anything! They charged my son $71 dollars for the estimate. Don't take your car there unless you want to be taken to the cleaners!

I highly suggest to go to social media to check any shop you are entrusting with your vehicle including KAAMS. Check your local news source in Champaign there you will find the integrity, and values that a shop may hold, the truth lies within the customer's, not the responses, and excuses of a shop.

They are trustworthy, provide informed choice, and make sure things are done right w/o pressuring for unnecessary repairs. Patrick, Julie, Jeremy all tell it like it is--give honest opinions about what needs to be addressed in the immediate future and what can wait, how to tell when it's time to address longer-term issues, offer budget-friendly, creative options when able, etc. Have also worked me into a busy schedule when issues were serious and/or to accommodate my work schedule. Pricing is competitive. Personable, real people. Offered me lunch one day when I was waiting and someone dropped off a meal for the crew. Overall, a solid small business--I definitely recommend!

Not only is he incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but he's also honest and transparent, which is something you don't see often these days. The labor rates are fair, and I always feel like I'm getting the best value for the work that's done. He takes the time to explain any issues and is never pushy about unnecessary repairs. If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust, I highly recommend Andersons Automotive. you won't be disappointed!

Since my last review Jim (Anderson) has sold the place to Ryan, a longtime employee at Andersons…read more This happens often in family owned businesses, and in this case it worked out great. Ryan continues Jim's commitment to doing excellent work and helping customers maintain their automobiles at reasonable prices. More than once Ryan has told me that I'd save money taking my car elsewhere to a place that had the tools to do it. One minor change is that Ryan no longer wants to do oil changes as the costs of having so many different brands and grades of oil in the shop had become prohibitive. He'll do them, but he wants something like $50 as he now goes to the store to buy the oils you want to use. That said, he's always been extremely honest and affordable whenever we've had repairs done there. It's still called Anderson's ( and Jim even occasionally is to be found there when things are busy), but under Ryan it remains an excellent repair shop. ___________ Old Review Below_____________ Anderson's is a small, unimpressive looking auto repair business on Country Fair in Champaign, between Springfield and John Streets. But they have earned my trust and become my go-to repair shop. Jim Anderson, the original owner is not around as much after he retired, but he made sure the shop is in good hands and he is around the shop from time to time to work on cars and check on things. I am not sure if he sold the business or simply hired more workers since he retired. In any event, the important point is that they are scrupulously honest and highly competent. If there is a repair beyond their ability they will let you know immediately and not try to fix it themselves For example, they don't do body work. I've never had a problem with their work, never had to bring a car back, and always found their prices reasonable, even low. More than once I've taken a car in and they tell me the fix is unnecessary or much smaller than I expected. Recently I took my van in because the brakes were squealing whenever I depressed the pedal. Expecting that I needed a brake job or rotors, I was told that when they took the wheel off they noticed the brakes had a lot of life in them but had visible rust and dirt. Their recommendation, drive the car more often; it got rusty because it sits so much of the time. He recommended that riding the brakes for a mile would be a really quick cure and wouldn't hurt anything, and he was right! He could have sold me an expensive brake job, but instead he solved the problem with no charge, not even for his time! He will always ask if you want the expensive fix or if you want the "good enough" fix when one exists. As far as I can tell, using him for ten years now, he's never sold me unneeded repairs. Even my wife feels comfortable taking her car to him without me accompanying her. He doesn't treat women any differently than he treats men. He won't take advantage of women or young people either. That said, I'm not sure I would take a car to him if I needed a transmission rebuild or something really specialized. My hunch is it would be OK, but I have no experience with this kind of major repair (knock on wood!). If I need one, I'll ask if he can do it, but I can say for certain that he can or cannot do such repairs. His prices, even for "expensive jobs," are always really good. Better than any other place I've found. Much better than dealerships, but that is no great feat. But his prices are always better than other independent garages I've been to. A lot of my friends use Rick's Auto in campustown, and I've used him too. Karch runs a fine shop, but Anderson's matches their quality at a much better price. All in all, I think you should feel good taking your car to Andersons. They'll do a great job and they will tell you if you should take it elsewhere.

Never again they might of done good job on my brakes the owner Sam try to rip me off saying that I…read moreneeded a front frame that would be $1500. Saying my bushings are rusted that is a flat out lie. I got a second opinion with another person I have known for years said have him call him he refuses.

I'm so disgusted with this place when I confront the person they didn't want to take responsibility all they want to do is continue to lie to me. BE AWARE of these people they're nothing but crooks I am sick and tired trying to be ripped off especially with mechanics when they see a woman coming they want to rip them off.

However, it takes a good auto body shop with skilled personnel to provide that expertise and service. Central Illinois did an excellent job on my car; they even found a Kia sportage (blown engine) of the same color to use for parts for my car, to eliminate the cost of a new paint job. FYI, with insurance, the insurance company will often pressure you to select a repair shop that will use cheaper new parts to save the insurance company money. YOU MAKE the FINAL SELECTION for the repair shop, so work that has an insurance company behind it would ALSO be best done at a reputable and highly competent body shop, like Central Illinois.
