Matt is an absolute angel!!…read more The steep pitch of the Ichiban exit (yes I was driving at a normal speed and yes others have had the same trouble! - but no, the restaurant hasn't fixed it ) caused my car to bottom out and knocked my bumper RIGHT OFF!! We heard a bang and a scrape so immediately pulled over in to the first parking lot, which happened to be Vaughn's Automotive. We called the 24 hour emergency number and Matt came right over to help us! He patched us back together so we could safely drive until we can get a more full repair. He was competent, he was kind, he was helpful, and he was funny ... he took a bad situation and made it as good as we could've hoped for. This is a great and honest and kind man! You can feel confident about placing your trust in him! I drove from Rockford to visit my daughter and thanks to Matt, we still made it to line dancing!!

Matt, the owner, picked me up at home, took me to the car, ran the codes, and figured out the issue was a loose air intake duct. He tightened that and my car was good to go! If I had gone to anyone else, like a BMW dealership, I'm sure they would have taken advantage and overcharged me for a simple fix. I'll be having all my cars worked on at Vaughn's. He's earned a lifetime customer. Best experience I've ever had with a mechanic... Honest and dependable! That's what you want in a mechanic shop and that's exactly what Matt and Vaughn's delivers!

The prices were exceptional for many of the items, so I definitely recommend visiting this new store!

The automotive department is a joke I was wondering why it is always empty and now I know why! The inexperienced Tech opens the hood of Cadillac CRX with a diagnostic tool in hand and turns to Matthew (the only other employee in that department) and asks "Where is the battery"?. Matthew continues to train the imbecile and constantly requests that I get seated inside. (Mind you, the car died right outside of their service door and insurance regulations did not apply for a customer to not be inside the service area). I inform them that I had a temporary burning smell prior to the charging issue but it did not smell of, or have the characteristics of a battery with a shorted cell. Please check the charging system! (I'm 63 and come from years of engineering and designing hi-current electrical). My back is finally giving out so I go seated inside. They came in minutes later to inform me it has a shorted cell and that the charging system is ok, All I need is a new battery.,, I reluctantly concede and purchase a battery to the tune of $150. I ask to discuss tire prices while we are waiting for the repair and was ignored. It was near closing time, -we LIVE 1HOUR AWAY and repeatedly tell this to Matthew. (we have a senior in a wheelchair at home and need to go home asap) Shortly thereafter his trainee comes in and said that the battery is installed. I asked about the charging system again, inform them again that we live 1 hour away and if it's not charging we will not make it home without stopping to charge it somewhere along the way, (and obviously have to buy a battery charger-another lost sale for Blains) and he responded: "well,.if it is not the battery,.. it's the alternator" and raced out the waiting area. (my wife held me back from getting out of the chair to confront him for fear of the police being involved). IS THAT NOT THE REASON FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO BEGIN WITH?? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE DOING? We left and watched as the voltage constantly drop the entire stressful hour on the way home, We lost antilock, traction control and suspension assist 3 miles from home on icy/hilly roads in the dark of winter, windows were inoperable, and LUCKILY the headlights were still operable and waited to die until we hit our driveway. I am willing to bet that if I went back to that store, took my battery and charged it, then used a load tester, I would find that the battery is 100% ok. I wasted $150 and an hour of stress in my short life that I will never get back. If the car would have made it elsewhere, I would have been better off going to any auto parts store as they would have a better working knowledge of what a battery looks like.

All three parties dealt with this. All are trustworthy and told me it needed a minor repair like a muffler. Big A Auto told me the entire under area of car had been messed up from someone who didn't know what they were doing. He said it'd be $2,000 to fix it. At the time I thought maybe the college driver had let someone work on it so I paid it. My mistake as I didn't take time to think it thru. I know the folks I bought it from were honest and long time friends. Big A lied. They showed me of a fuzzy gray video t was supposed to be the problem area but of course it meant nothing to me and was just part of the deception. I will never go back to Big A again. Since I am an older woman needing the service I think they felt they could lie to me about the car.

Unprofessional management & incompetent staff! The…read moreincompetency of the service staff was surpassed by managements' feeble attempt at customer satisfaction! A spur-of-the-moment decision for a Labor Day weekend trip led me to the Dubuque ExpertTire for a pre-trip oil change and multiple-point inspection. On the highway, five minutes into our trip I noticed white smoke in the review mirror then noticed the oil-pressure reading ZERO! I quickly decelerated from 70 mph and shut-it-down on the shoulder. A quick check under the hood revealed the oil filter was missing...and oil all over the place, including the sides and back of my Tahoe! I called "expert tire" and they said they would send a tow truck which I said I don't have time for that...all I likely need is someone to come out with more oil, a filter and towels to wipe the oil off the windows so I could continue our trip. After pleading with the condescending manager, she agreed to send someone (five miles). Perhaps sensing my frustration, upon arrival, the young man expediently and politely got my family back on the road. The manager told me to stop in after the trip and she would "make things right". What a joke! She gave me certificates for two free oil changes that expired at the end of the year ...and it was now September 6th! I just shook my head, walked out and threw the certificates in the trash. She lost a potential long-term customer and gains an increasingly bad reputation.
