The only con is the length of time it takes, but if you want your car fixed right, and you are going to a good person, expect a wait since everyone else is going too. The price was very reasonable as well, and whatever quote Karen gives you, expect that or even a tad lower.

I came here trying to solve my car rattling after going to the Hyundai dealership in Marion. Over…read morethere they told me the engine needed to be replaced and it would cost 5k-6k. **** no. I wanted a second opinion and seeing as this business is woman-owned felt I could trust Gator Automotive. I'm glad I did. I was able to do a walk in and immediately felt a good energy about the place. When I came to pick up my car the owner (unfortunately didn't catch her name) told me it was an issue with a loose coupler and advised me keep an eye out on on some other potential issues regarding my car model. $80 for no more rattling and some honest advisement. If you have car troubles and are in the Carbondale/Marion area, go to Gator Automotive. I'll be a regular from now on. She saved me thousands.

When I got there all they tried to do was have me pay for a $3k part and labor. It was a simple solution of my heater shield getting caught on my steering rack.

About a month back I took my car in for engine trouble. After several days and several issues…read morepopping up I was left with a bill of 1,300. They wanted to replace the ball bearings as well, but that would've been another 800 and I didn't want to spend too much all at once. I was already spending a months pay for me on it. Fast forward to now and my car is literally worthless. The underside has rusted and rotted away, verging on falling apart completely. I can't even get a tow truck driver to take it in because they're worried that will just make it worse. It's wild to me that after having my car for several days and having found several other issues, they just somehow didn't notice this. I spent 1,300 dollars on repairs and they somehow didn't notice the one thing that has killed my car. They should've noticed it when they had it, and then maybe I'd have 1,300 more dollars to burn on a new car.

I would suggest that you could save a lot of time, possibly money by visiting Lawrence Auto Clinic and Sales in Cambria. IL. I found Tony Lawrence to be an honest, upfront, personable human being who in his words "We sell good vehicles at a reasonable price and will not sell junk". Honda CR-V EX I purchased from Tony was as good as any dealer's featured front row late model used car..spotless and in excellent condition. Hopefully, I will be finished looking at a car purchase for myself for a decade but if my daughters or grandchildren need a good used vehicle at a fair price I'll suggest they visit or call Tony to see what he has on his lot first.

Do NOT take anything here…read more Out of all four of the tires, only one of them had weights on it. But old weights! Not new ones! Four people at that tire shop worked on the truck one person for each tire because the tires are very big and not one person did their job. Weight glue was left on the tires, and no weights were put back on. A weight was found in my tire. Scratched the rims. Left old weights on one tire. Wrote on our rims instead of on the tires. Destruction. They gave us the money back for "the weight they put on their" but they didn't put ANY ON!!!!!!!!!!!! And only gave us a 65$ refund when we paid 265$ This was endangerment. We travel full time for work, and the truck they did this to pulls our camper. We move every 2-3 months. Making things right is what keeps customers coming back. This was unacceptable!

I had to bring my car to them 5 times and those are still problems. On the 3rd or 4th time of picking my car up, the face of my steering wheel fell out on me while driving and when i brought it back the owner tried to tell me it was normal. They wouldn't listen to me or try to tell me anything until i got my father involved. when i said i had to call him i was told "i don't take kindly to being threatened" and it wasn't until i said my dad is still technically the owner of my car did their tune change. The owner was just plain rude to me and my family but when my white best friend said the exact same thing i said two seconds before, all of a sudden he understands and he'll fix it.
