Funny story: I had just dropped off some Christmas gifts for a family in need, when a coolant line…read morebroke, immediately draining my car of all of its coolant. Wow, what great luck. The upside was that it happened right near Deegan's and I was able to limp the car over. They were so kind to squeeze me in during a very busy time--seriously, there wasn't a spot open in their lot, the garage was full, and the mechanics were still working well after closing time. The cost of the repair was so reasonable, I couldn't believe it. That was two months ago, and the repair has completely held up. I even drove across country moving to Los Angeles just last week, which makes me a little sad that I won't be able to use their services again, but you definitely should!

I was in town visiting relatives and badly needed struts on my wife's Buick before I drove back to…read morethe East Coast (we had swayed and shimmied dangerously on the 1000 trip there.) Valley Auto Care was highly recommended, but they also were (officially) closed - but I was able to contact Brian (the owner) and he said to bring it over, he'd meet me there. Two of his mechanics also happened to stop in - it's a friendly, almost family place - and they all got me up and on the road in (if memory serves) less than an hour. ANNNNDDD the charge was less than I had expected (far less than what I'd have paid at home.) I wish I had a shop like this here in Virginia! Brian and the guys are too-shelf (and honest). I'm keeping a list of minor stuff I need fixed for the next trip to Stillman Valley - seriously. Appreciate your work ethic and honesty Brian - I'll be back! *I'm baaaaack! Drove up again to see relatives over the Thanksgiving holiday. Of course my car died again (it's a 2000 Buick--1000 mile road trips are rough on it, I guess). Called Brian and got right in - bad fuel pump this time. Brian fixed it quick and (again) charged me a lot less than they would have at home. He also did a few other tweaks I needed while we were there. Thanks Brian, you are the best mechanic in Illinois! **BACK AGAIN - I basically seem to do tHis every Thanksgiving. Drive from the East Coast to moms here in Stillman Valley. Had some brake issues on the way here this time, and Brian worked me in and he and Mike did a great job at a fair price. Also they fixed three window regulators (hadn't been able to open 3 out of 4 windows for months). Thanks Brian, for the excellent service!

Stillman Valley Auto Care is awesome. Whenever I've needed an auto repair, Brian Printz, the…read moreowner, has taken good care of me. Not only does he complete repairs quickly and affordably but he spends the time with you to make sure you understand what he did and why.

Bob from Tom Sparks is a good man. First of all, he answers every phone with a positive attitude…read more Second, he is honest. I took my vehicle to get inspected and serviced. During the appointment, they noticed a few things wrong regarding my tires, rotor, and pins. Rather than going through with the service of balancing and rotating tires- which would've left me me with the issues I was unaware of (worn tread, seized pin, worn rotors)- Bob notified me that I should address these 3 issues before going through with my originally desired maintenance. They chose to prioritize the customer rather than going through with the service that wouldn't have done anything in the grand scheme. For this I rate 5 stars and highly recommend the service department. I will also return here for my future needs and recommend this place to everyone. These are guys you want to pay to inspect your vehicle.

After buying a car from Tom Sparks Auto recently, the office gave out personal information about my…read moreloan and car to someone not on the loan, a person I have worked to distance myself and my children from for safety reasons. They had no authorization from me to do so, and this person had nothing to do with my loan or purchase. I went in to speak to them about it, to give them a chance to own up to the wrongdoing and sincerely apologize for their wrong. All I got was excuses about how the person presented himself as my husband and they give that info out often. He didn't even know my actual last name or how to spell it. That should have been a big, red flag. Although, their actions were very wrong even without any red flags, and they should have known better. I will never, ever give them any further business, and I will actively discourage people from using this business. Shame on them.

Unfortunately, she began having issues with her headlights and after a few FaceTimes with dad... I looked for a local shop to help us out. Called Greg at Bockman's and explained the situation and her tight schedule being a student athlete. He helped navigate her time restraints and they were able to fix a wiring failure and a check engine light that happened to come on while she was driving there. Turned out we needed a new gas cap. As a dad who is no where near his daughter to help her out. The folks over at Bockman's were kind to my daughter and very helpful.
