Ordered tires from Simple tire.com and had them shipped to Charley's as it was the best priced option. The entire job was paid for through simple tire. My only responsibility was to show up at the appointment and drop off the car. I did just that. When I arrived to pick the car up, the overweight gentleman at the counter told me they were going to stuff my used tires in my car if I didn't give them $15 for disposing them. DON'T use Charley's unless you're ready for a last minute shake down. No Thank you! read more

No I brought our car here for tire repair and end up with air pressure sensor having to be replaced. There was nothing wrong with it before we took it there. So our $15 tire repair turned into a $79 job that was not even approved. They did it and claimed They called me and left a message but I never got any message. read more

Charley's Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

I've had a check engine light for the longest time, came into the shop in hopes of getting my check engine light gone and problem solved. Brought the car in, was told the light was gone and the issue had been solved. Not even a day had gone by, and the check engine light came right back on. So I called them brought it back, and checked up, and again was told the issue was resolved and the light was gone. Ladies and gentlemen, this repeated 4 times... and I still have my check engine light. I'm filing for a charge dispute to get my money back, payed $800 for nothing to be changed or happen. definitely will not be coming back to this mechanic shop. read more

Charley's Auto is one of the BEST Auto Mechanics in the Villa Park/Lombard area. I've tried a couple other mechanics that were more expensive and the quality of work was not as good for my Mercedes C300 and Nissan Murano. George is honest and affordable and I am soooo glad I randomly stopped in as I was just passing by. Thanks George we need a good mechanic in our neighborhood. read more

My family Mechanic retired several years ago. My sister started using George and referred me. George is amazing he always remembers me and always makes time to take care of my car (Pretty Girl) the same day. Today I brought my car in because the heat was not working and he fixed it the for me the same day. His prices are fair and he is very honest which is hard to find. I have and will continue to refer friends and family to Charlies Auto. read more

I traveled for about an hour to reach this shop after it was recommended to me by a friend. I had anticipated having a lot of work done after a previous visit to a different shop. The mechanics at Charley's investigated the issues, determining that NONE of the things that I was told were actually issues. I had an oil change and was out of there in no time. I am totally willing to travel the distance to patronize an honest, hard-working mechanic! read more

This place is the BEST! I have bounced around a number of auto shops for a good two years before I found Charley's. Their work is excellent and they're honest - no snowing me into additional expensive work. George is truly pleasant to deal with and Charley's will be getting all of my business going forward read more

George is simply the best. His is the only auto shop we'll take our cars to because he's so trustworthy and knowledgeable. I can't recommend him enough - he's awesome. read more

George fixed our car for well over $100 less than the quote we got from another mechanic, we will never go to anyone else as long as we live in this area. He is honest and very friendly, would definitely recommend! read more

Best mechanic ever!! Been going to George-Charley's Auto for years and always refer people to go there for great service. My husband and I have been bringing our cars to George to get an oil change, flat tire to "oh my gosh HELP" and he is always willing to stop what he's doing and take a look then fix asap. It's hard to trust people especially mechanics and George is the man! He will not do something that does not need to be done, and will not rob you blind. read more

Been coming here for years. Ask for George! He has brought my car back from the dead a few times. Always is able to fix whatever the issue is. And most importantly, he is very honest. A lot of mechanics will say something is wrong with your car just to bump up the order. Not here! George will always be upfront with you and only tell you what is actually wrong with your car. That's a very rare trait in a mechanic and is why I'll always be taking my cars to Charley's. read more

Wait, an honest mechanic that doesn't try to push 1000000 other services on you? Either way they looked at a truck for me with a free estimate I'm assuming it did take some time to do, then today they fixed my truck and seemed 100% honest which is hard to come by with a mechanic. Very friendly also. All my business will go to their shop for now on. read more

Wonderful customer service!! I have taken a couple of vehicles there. We live about 40 minutes away and I will always choose these guys over the local mechanics!! These guys know how to treat you right. Sense of humor down to earth and the quality work that they do can't be touched by anyone else out there!! CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!! read more

We've been taking our vehicles to Charley's for several years for routine maintenance. Just recently, the power steering went out on one of our vehicles and I had it towed to the dealer, since they recently did transmission work on that same vehicle. The dealer was going to charge $3,000 to replace the power steering pump and hoses. I called George to tell hiim what was going on and how much it was going to cost. George said the dealer was way overcharging us. We had the vehicle towed to Charley's and George did the exact repairs that the dealer was going to do for $600! Good, reliable service! read more

George always saves the day for our family and our car issues. He has helped us so many times, I lost count. Today our pick up needed repair and at 4pm, George was able to squeeze us in and have the vehicle ready for pick up an hour later. Prices are fair and he is always pleasant, which is great when you are dealing with an unpleasant situation. read more

They are pretty good about reserving trucks for you, the only problem I hvae seen is that the insides of their trucks aren't very clean! I addressed this problem with them and it seems to have improved some, otherwise, they are close and convenient. read more

I rented from this place August 2011. This place tried to overcharge me by 100 miles. They incorrectly documented the mileage on the U-Haul truck when I picked it up. I had a short move and returned the truck after hours on the same day I picked it up. The charges should not have exceeded $100. Since I returned the truck after hours, I received my receipt via email. You can imagine my disgust when I saw a charge for over $330. I tried to politely discuss this with the manager but he remained indifferent, unapologetic and rude. After several phone calls my husband demanded they check the manifest from the previous renter. Upon their review they finally admitted the error, however remained rude and unapologetic. I was so displeased with the way they handled this that I ended up calling U-Haul's corporate office. I have rented from U-Haul many times but this was by far the most unprofessional experience I've had. Buyer beware! read more
