Customer Testimonials

Needed a new valve on my truck tire, called Charron's, and was able to get same-day service. Didn't need to replace the valve, after all, they used a tool that tightened it back up. For $8 I was in and out in no time. Friendly service, very professional. Give them a call for your vehicle repairs.

I had a wheel bearing go out on my Avalanche just 7 mi south of Charron's. I called them as the reviews were positive. They suggested a towing company that they typically use and the vehicle was brought in to them. I am pleased with the work they did. Good people and a competent auto repair service. Will be looking to do more there in the future as we live 40 min away. You won't go wrong from my experience.

Always friendly helpful staff.

Fast friendly service done with a smile. They know what they're doing. Great service and good price.

Want to thank Pat Gorman for assisting my wife as she was bringing my daughter back home from ISU and we had mechanical issues with our 2009 Honda Odyssey. Was a cylinder misfire, which he diagnosed quickly then had the repair complete in a few hours. They were able to get back on the road and back home to MO by dinner. Cost of repair was absolutely reasonable, and he even topped off the oil. Charron’s Auto Repair has my gratitude and thanks!

The staff was very nice and service was excellent.

Broken down on the way to Chicago. No one in town would look at my car, but Charron’s did their best to help and even recommended another place, found me their number, etc. True definition of customer service.

Always fair and great service!
