This is the kind of local auto service station you hope to find and keep for years. What stands out most is trust. We genuinely feel we can rely on their guidance on what actually needs to be fixed and, just as importantly, what does not. You never get the sense that they are trying to sell unnecessary repairs or push work that is not justified. Their work is consistently timely, clean, and professional. They do what they say they will do, respect your time, and offer very reasonable pricing. More than just a repair shop, they stand out as a trusted advisor in helping us maintain our cars the right way. Honest, efficient, fairly priced, and dependable. read more

Great quality service.... Very professional, took care of my car. Staff was courteous and followed up promptly. This place was recommended by my neighbor and turned out to be a good experience. read more

Excellent service. Fast and fair price. Easy to schedule. Nice people. Very friendly

Excellent and reliable service. They explain all necessary and urgent repairs. Highly recommend Hollis Brothers.

The Quality of service is unmatched here, the value was less than the dealerships quoted me in the past, and they also mentioned preventive maintenance. They were also able to get the service I requested done in a timely manner! I recommend this place to anyone looking to maintain their car for a long time! read more

Super friendly, helpful and do solid work. Been going for years and they are reliable

I waited quite awhile after having my engine replaced and other work done on my car by Hollis Brothers because I had been through 18 months of being ripped off over and over again by another mechanic shop that I had given a good review right away and regretted. But, now, after a year of driving my car with only one little issue that had nothing to do with their work, I can confidently say that this is an excellent team. I took my old 2004 Honda to them in pretty bad shape and within a week they had replaced her engine and many parts, and gave her back running beautifully. Today, almost a year to the day later, she is perfect. I appreciate their honesty, their willingness to listen to my concerns and pay attention, and their diligence in getting to the bottom of the problem, explaining it, and fixing it without the need for additional visits and expense, and with zero attitude. Definitely give these guys a chance to fix your car and you won't regret it. read more

Good communication and very easy to schedule. My car ran great after servicing at Hollis!

Professional, knowledgeable and delivered with tremendous customer service. I am now on my 2nd vehicle using Hollis Bros. for service, a BMW and now a Mercedes. I have been consistently impressed and pleased with each encounter. Gil and his brother are great to work with and I feel confident that my vehicle is in good hands whenever I leave it for service read more

Great experience....... Guys were friendly - good communication - efficient and timely. Price seemed reasonable

I have faith in the work they do and appreciate they are one of the only shops where you get your car back and it doesn't have greasy grimy fingerprints all over your car like most other places. Just be ware they take full advantage of being located in Barrington and will gouge you on pricing. Great shop for those that have money burning a whole in their wallet and want their car in pristine condition. Not so good for someone just looking to fix what needs to be fixed for a reasonable price. read more

First of all I have never experienced a kinder experience from a mechanic. My grandmother passed away and they sent me a a condolence text. They rushed to get me the parts needed. My car now runs like it's new. When I brought it to them it sounded like a train was running through it. I highly recommend them. Prices are very reasonable. They kept me informed on what they were going to do to my car before doing it and were honest. read more

I will be switching from dealership service to Hollis Bros. They were able get me a same day appointment with a loaner car and submitted a prioritized estimate to me very quickly. I appreciated their honest explanation (in layman's terms person's terms) of what needed to be repaired. I had my car back the same day. I highly recommend supporting this local business. read more

I had previously been taking our Mercedes vehicles to the local dealer. They did a fine job on any repair, but Hollis offers same or better for a better price and they are local. I appreciate the quality of their service and their honest appraisal of what needs to be done. They have no incentive to try to convince you to do serviced that is not needed and will give you straight and honest advice on what needs done and then deliver top notch service. I am actively recommending them to my friends and have no hesitation in giving them my highest recommendation. They have dealer trained mechanics on staff with years of experience servicing European cars. read more

Love these guys!! Gilbert and his team are what you look for in a small town auto service business. While they specialize in MB and BMW, I take my Lexus in for regular routine maintenance. They always are fair in pricing and get my car in and out ahead of my expectations. Keep up the great work!! read more

Great experience at Hollis Brothers. Saved a lot over what the dealer wanted to charge. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

Another experience I had with John who found the antifreeze leak was not 2 hoses as suggested by another company but a different hose costing $255 rather than $1100 as quoted by the other company. John was very very honest & I really trust this mechanic. read more

Manager was accommodating after problem with the service they were to do on my vehicle. Took my vehicle to the dealer and the brake cap fluid was missing. Had a great experience initially but won't be going back. read more

One word: HONEST When you find a good car mechanic and then you find a good honest car mechanic you've found it all. Dave and Steve are great! I've been going there for years and they've serviced by; Buick, BMW, Ford Mustang and my mother in laws Mercedes and Lexus. They tell it like it is and do great work! They know there stuff and if they don't they will do the research. I just cant say enough about the work they do - feel comfortable sending my son, my daughter, my wife, my mother-in-law there and just simply know they will not be taken advantage of. read more

Very Good people . I'm completely satisfied with there services , professional , they are very good with details. Also they provide you loaner car. read more

Since new ownership began operating this shop recently, my brother and I have had two very poor experiences. First, we dropped off a Bentley and advise it was running rough - we thought perhaps it needed new plugs and brakes and the check engine light was on. They did not contact us with a quote and did not run a diagnostic to confirm the plugs were the issue. They just replaced the plugs and brakes and charged $10,000. (Which did not address the problem and the check engine light was still on.) Took it back recently and specifically ask to run diagnostic (surprising this needed to be specified when the check engine light is on) ... then received a quote for $24,000 to replace the vacuum line system. We will certainly be getting a 2nd opinion. We won't be using or recommending this shop in the future. read more

Update : I've continued to use Hollis Brothers the last couple repairs and my trust with them continues to grow. Dave has been so honest with me and so patient when answering my questions! I bought new tires from the Firestone because I have lifetime alignment with them. You can read my review for them on my page. Anyways, Firestone stated they couldn't do the alignment because I needed to get the tire rods replaced for over four hundred dollars. Dave said he could do it for $195 but after inspecting the tire rods Dave said they didn't need replacing because there was nothing wrong with them! He offered to do the alignment for $130 plus depending how much they needed alignment but I'm going to hold Firestone accountable.. Seriously, Hollis Brothers have been amazing and I trust them with all repairs!!! read more

My husband Peter has been taking his car's to Hollis Bro's. For several years. They are very knowledgeable and do excellent work!!. Also fair and trustworthy. They go the extra mile to please!! Thank you Hollis Brothers. read more

What a great outfit! I had a car that hadn't been started in about 10 years. I talked to Steve Hollis who said he'd take a look if I could have the car delivered to his shop. He worked on this 50+ year old beauty with intermittent delays for parts for two months. Lots of little glitches but with his superb knowledge of all things auto, he revitalized this classic car. It drives better now than when I bought it in 1992! I can't recommend them highly enough. I have my newer cars serviced there too! read more

Not only does Dave know his stuff, he loves what he does, and that makes all the difference. Just yesterday, I wanted to get his insight on my vehicle's maintenance plan. Even though I had no intention of bringing the car in at the time, he took the time to "talk shop" and address my concerns over the phone, despite his busy schedule. I think it was about 15 years that I'd taken my vehicles in to Hollis Brothers because 1) they're extremely thorough, 2) they do a quality job, and 3) they're not going to pressure you or pull the wool over your eyes with anything (I'd still take my car in to HB, but it's a long hike from Aurora up to Barrington). My parents have also trusted him with work on multiple vehicles over the years. I'd definitely recommend Hollis Brothers to anyone looking for reliable, quality service! read more

I just had my first experience at Hollis Brothers Auto Repair, and it couldn't have gone any better! I needed a second opinion after a dealership told me my car needed some work done, and my husband didn't feel the work was necessary. Hollis Brothers checked my car and said that no work needed to be done on it. They didn't even charge me for the second opinion! They were professional, answered all my questions, and could not have been nicer or friendlier. And they were honest, which I appreciated most of all. Thanks, Hollis Brothers! read more

I took my car in for a tune up, and was very happy with the service. The staff was great, I highly recommend Hollis Brothers.

I've been using the expert services of Hollis Brothers for 20 years. Their service is excellent, can accomodate emergency needs, employ a pleasant staff and although they may not be the least expensive around, they'll repair your auto correctly. read more

Great customer service can be hard to find, but not at Hollis Brothers. As a previous customer, I stopped in to ask for a favor in filling my tires up with air. "No problem, that's what we are here for!" Free of charge & Fantastic customer service read more

It's like a mom and pop operation except it's two brothers. You feel like you're in a small town somewhere when you walk in the door. They care about you and your car. They are friendly. They know what they're doing. And they fix it right the first time, unlike Anderson BMW in Crystal Lake. Avoid them. Go to the Hollis Brothers. You won't regret it. read more

I have been using Hollis Brothers for a couple of years and they treat my German Cars very well.....Very professional and certainly more reasonable that the dealer...... read more

Courteous, Knowledgeable and Honest. These are traits hard to find in a auto repair shop. This shop is all that and more. The Hollis brothers (Dave and Steve) were great with helping me put a hitch in my car. I would highly recommend them if you want to get an execuhitch (aka invisihitch) installed on a BMW. They knew the complicated electrical components very well and helped with installing the hitch in less time than expected. Highly Recommended. read more
