Im not sure why labor was so expensive, since they really didnt do anything but hand-screw an ignition housing. They left my broken window all the way down (I guess propping it up wouldve really set them back), and my hood latches open, in an open parking lot, and I was charged nearly $150. Id recommend youtube.

A great mom and pop shop. Their high google rating led me to get my trucks needs met there. I was impressed with Russ’ work ethic and communication skills. He did everything he said he would, quickly and at the price he quoted!

The owner listened and helped find a solution for us that didnt break the bank. He was able to earn my business that day as well as in the future.

They helped fix my car even when it was a busy time and squeezed me in between times of dropping the kiddo off and pickup time. Very easy to talk to and skilled.

Russ was nothing but kind and professional. We were in quite the pinch and he came in and saved the day and at a great/fair cost as well. Thank you, Russ!

New first choice - I took my car here rather than my first choice because I had an emergency repair needed that other shops were not able to accommodate under short/no notice. Vern was able to get me in right away and did a lot he didnt have to do to help me out. This will now be my first choice! Amazing customer service, very friendly, and fair prices. Really relieved a lot of anxiety!

I recently took my Mazda into Vern’s for some extensive work. Russ is absolutely amazing, very professional and personable. He kept me updated about all the repairs as he was completing the work. I would highly recommend taking your vehicle to him and I will go back there if I ever need any more work in the future. AAA+

We just moved to IL and got lucky to find an excellent mechanic right away. Vern’s was amazing! Personalized service! The customer service was great as well as the work done. We felt like he put us first! His prices were honest and reasonable! And he only recommended necessary items to be completed for our car. We already feel we can trust him and will always go there and refer people there! Excellent job Vern’s, this is how it is supposed to be! Unfortunately you and your shop are a rare breed!

Vernes Auto Repair is a superior shop highly recommended to me by friends. Russ and son are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and work on my Buick and Corvette. Theyre time efficient, informative and very reasonable in cost. I highly recommend this shop for car repairs.

Russ the mechanic is the very best mechanic I’ve taken my car too. We thought my engine was deceased because of flood water, but he got it running beautifully with no problems! I recommend Vern’s 100%

Always great service, very friendly, extremely fair prices, great availability, quick, and more! I have recommended all of my friends and family to see Russ! In just our family, we have had breaks done, tires replaced, and an alternator replaced. He always has quick turnaround. If not getting you in and out the same day, it has been 24 hours! Would DEFINITELY recommend!!

I had a mechanic that I had been going to to several years but had to close his shop. I took a chance on Russ and am very pleased. Russ is very polite, very knowledgeable, and has integrity. Very pleased with his work.

Vern was already slammed and working by himself. He took the time to come check out something on my truck. He was able to access it in a matter of a second. Something that was causing me serious headache and I saw more problems ahead. He just fixed it right there on the spot. In matter of 10 seconds. That help me get back on my way to Ga. Thanks again !!!

When my brakes needed urgent attention, I gave Verns a call. Russ got me in the next business day. He provided a prompt and very reasonable estimate. He was professional, friendly, and patiently answered all my questions. My car was finished that same day, and it is running great.

Finally found a mechanic to take all my stuff to. Honest, Quick, and more than fair. Had a wheel bearing and axle done that ended up being a bit more of a job than was supposed to. He got it done quickly, and even stuck to the original quote. Gained a customer, and all of my family around here as well.

Verns took me in with no notice and a flat tire. I was taken care of immediately and the next morning I was called with the best deal on a new tire. I will recommend Verns to everyone.

They changed the brakes on my Ford F-150. 2 weeks later my brakes started grinding due to a faulty brake pad from the manufacturer. They replaced the rotor and all new brake pads all at no cost and in no time at all. Cant recommend these guys enough. Great service and very helpful

Review №47

I bought an old BMW convertible with lotsa miles, & took it to Verns to find out what it needed. He did not suggest all the repairs that another mechanic had said I needed. He prioritized the issues & made recommendations, & gave me his estimate. Then, later, when he found out one of the parts he ordered was unnecessary, he called to let me know the bid hed given me was too high! Imagine that! What an honest, competent, personable mechanic we have in Russ. I am an older woman who knows nothing about cars & have to hire someone I can trust. It isnt always so easy, finding a trustworthy & extremely extremely competent & professional mechanic. You wont be sorry if you take your car to Russ, at Verns. Lee Ann, Edwardsville

I could not be more satisfied with the customer service and work I had done at Verns Pro Car Care. Verns went above and beyond what one would expect to keep the cost of the repair as low as they could without cutting corners on quality of service and parts. Also much to my surprise Verns sell name brand tires that is competitive with the prices at Walmart. Verns is going to be my go to auto repair shop, and also where I will be buying my tires. Check em out before you go elsewhere, youll be glad you did. Semper Fi
