Great service, fair price, very honest about needed repairs. Definitely a reputable and trustworthy place. Easy to work with too.

Theyre very professional, give you estimates beforehand, dont waste time and work quickly and efficiently. Great place!

Great service. I trust them with my ride. Good people. Lived here since the 70s. Lots of service places over the years. Look no further. Wilhelm is my cars pit stop.

I had been told about them before stopping in and how great the service was and finally needed to have my old car looked at. They knew exactly what was wrong and even greater they quoted me 2/3rds less than most other places I had checked out. Everyone is professional, friendly, and hardworking. Can’t say enough about them!!

Great place. Nice people. They even fixed a small item without me asking and didnt even charge for it. I found them on Google. I wanted a trustworthy mechanic for my Hybrid. I believe I have found them. Thank you.

After finding a great coupon for an oil change online, we scheduled the first available drop off appt. which was 3 days out, which was fine. When we arrived to drop off the vehicle the gentleman that assisted us seemed annoyed that we knew about the coupon and was short with us once determining we weren’t interested in other services. When asked for a general idea about completion of the oil change, he rudely responded before closing at 5. When my husband returned to pick up the vehicle he was told that we needed tires, which we had already had checked, and since they were worn they didn’t rotate them or put air in them, which were supposed to be included with the oil change. After driving away my husband also noticed that the oil change light was not turned off after it was changed. Again the coupon was great but if you don’t add on the other recommended services from them the quality of the service is poor.

I tried to schedule an oil change they didnt have anything available for 5 days. Repeatedly called me the wrong name even after I corrected them. The only reason I am leaving 2 starts is the they replaced the oil drain plug on their own accord. They tried to tell me I needed new tires and there was only 1/16 tread left on them. I had been to discount tire the previous week and called back and they told me it was 7/8 tread left and verified that myself after I left. I walked out of their with a 165 dollar bill for an oil change and a cabin air filter definitely wont be going back despite how close it is.

Yikes! My brakes were shot. Wilhelm Automotive did the repair and had me back on the road that evening. I would highly recommend them. From my first phone call to estimate to picking up my car it was a pleasant experience.

Great long-time family owned business. My service advisors, Jessica and Jeff were great. From the first call for a quote to picking up the car with new brakes installed was under 24 hours! Even provided a ride home so I didnt have to wait. Although they completed the job so fast, I could have waited! Definitely recommend and will use again.

I brought my SUV in for an emergency incident. They got me in immediately. They gave me a different option to my situation. It saved me money.

They are very friendly and informative. When I asked questions, they gave me relevant answers. It was nice to be able to discuss options. They went above and beyond. T very trustworthy and a professional. hey offer some warranty on their work .

Friendly people and the service was good. i did have an appointment and the oil change took an hour and half. with a 10 dollar coupon the oil change came out to $73.00. i thought that was a little pricey. i probably won’t return because of the wait and price but i do think it is a reputable place that does good work.

Needed a new fuel return line because gas was puddling under my car due to corrosion. Part was on back order but I needed my car that afternoon. The mechanic did a temporary repair which completely fixed the leak. Its been a few days and I havent seen any leakage whatsoever. A little pricey but worth it considering I needed the repair pretty immediately.

Wilhelm off Thomas in Arcadia is always the steady, reliable and trustworthy automobile servicing vendor I can count on. They will be 100% honest and transparent about which services your car needs immediately, which can be put off for a bit and which you should keep a very close eye upon.The only gripe I had wasn’t even Wilhelm’s fault - I was simply hoping after years of servicing a bmw that I could count on “cheap” oil changes for my new Honda Accord. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case as I should’ve known my car only takes 100% synthetic. Obviously not anything Wilhelm could do about that, but they nonetheless took the time to explain to me why my car wasn’t eligible for the $20 (with coupon) oil change and what I should expect moving forward.The most important aspect of any automobile servicing business is trustworthiness, and Wilhelm Automotive definitely has - and likely always will have - my trust.Aloha!Ben C.

I recently started doing business with Wilhelm Auto Service at their Arcadia store. I had given Wilhelm Peoria my auto service for many many years before retiring this past year. I want to say I am extremely happy to find the same level of customer service, the same high skill level of qualified technicians, and the same culture of honesty and friendliness at the Arcadia store as I had experienced for years at the Peoria store. I appreciate the clear description of the issues they find that should be considered for repair, and just as important, their honesty of the things that don’t need to be fixed. I once took my vehicle to a Toyota dealer shop for factory recall work. In addition to the free recall repairs, they told me I needed to replace, well basically the whole front end. I asked Wilhelm to look at it and they repaired only what was needed and it was a simple repair. I know I can trust Wilhelm to give me an accurate assessment of a problem, and I have never been pressured to make a repair. The crew at the Arcadia store have been great to know and do business with, it’s really nice knowing I have someone I can trust covering my back in regards to my auto service. I highly recommend the Wilhelm team.Dan D.

I drive a mid-2000s jeep so I need to get a lot of work done whenever it breaks (too often). Wilhelm is the only establishment I trust to do quality work on time and for a reasonable price. The staff is professional and knowledgeable so I always feel well taken care of when I go to see them. Lastly, and most importantly, I trust Wilhelm to do what they say theyre going to do. Theyve never tried to up-sell me or short me on work they said theyll do. No mechanic is perfect but Wilhelm Arcadia is about as good as they get.

Very courteous from the outset. Work completed much sooner than I anticipated. They found one minor thing that needed to be addressed. That was taken care of quickly. Kept me informed by phone. Car runs great. Very satisfied with the entire experience.

Absolutely amazing service. Tow truck brought my car in at about 930 due to overheating, and car was done by 230. Great price too.

They _cannot_ manage to do the services requested or keep good notes on what was requested. Wouldnt recommend going here unless you enjoy several round-trips. They also attempted to charge me for a tow that Id paid for myself.

UPDATE: Owner responded to review please read response. What will always remain true is I was charged for some type of diagnostic test which didnt find the leak, and even if I was apprised of the vehicle taking longer in the shop, Wilhelm should have called and told me they needed to keep it over night....which they did not.I had an air conditioning leak which I made Wilhem aware of, I had recently had an evacuation and recharge of the freon so I let Wilhem know this to provide information which would potentially save time and money. Wilhelm said the diagnosis would be $35. Wilhelm called me and said it would be an additional $130+- to run dye through the system to find the leak. I asked that no more work to be done on the truck and I would pick it up. To make a long story short; with an appointment it took over 24 hours to diagnose an already known issue (freon leak), and $35. Im considered to be a very fair reviewer on Google, I give the consumer the straight shot. I wanted to use a local company and save time. At the end of the day I missed a day of work, paid $35 for nothing, and was able to find the leak myself by purchasing a can of freon with dye in it at the local automotive supply house. I gave them a bonus star because the change in my ashtray was still there when I picked the truck up. Im guessing they just were not on their game because they had quite a few cars lined up. If you choose to use them Im suggesting you ask a lot of questions regarding the process they use including steps and costs.

Needless to say nobody is Happy paying a big service bill but we all need our vehicles. The service I got there is good the one person that stood out the most was Jeff because when I went to pick my car up I was in a very depressed mood because of my fee but dealing with him he picked me up a little bit when his attitude. He should always be at the front desk greeting people maybe not giving us the bad news about how much are car is going to cost cuz nobody should be mad at him. Youre a great guy Jeff Pleasant attitude stay that way

I was in contact with Jessica all day. I had dropped off my car for a new alternator and would call often to check on it. She was always so paitent with me and did not once sound annoyed i kept calling like most places do! I will definitely be coming back for any work i need done .

They were very accommodating & efficient. I just needed one small piece & they didn’t charge any labor, only for the piece. I was very impressed

Fast and friendly service. Nice on the phone and in person. You definitely don’t feel like just a number here. Jessica was fantastic. Will return and gladly refer friends. Thank you Wilhelm Automotive!

Love this place. We have been taking our cars 🚗 here for the last few years. These guys are always honest and above board. They are also a good value compared to other shops. I highly recommend taking your vehicle here for any type of service, major or minor.

As a woman, I often find it difficult to receive good and fair service in the automotive businesses. Wilhelm Automotive is THE exception. They were wonderfully kind and friendly. They didn’t try to tell me I needed more things repaired or replaced than what I required, and they were proficient! I am so pleased I found them. I will be returning for all of my automotive needs in the future!

I love coming to get my oil change. They make it easy and convenient.

The staff was friendly and attentive and knowledgeable. They fixed my car in every possible condition. Utilize their specials online to save. My sister and her husband feel this is the best place to fix your car.

Great experience will definitely come back. Conway Harris was great! He was very professional and even went above and beyond and asked me how my day was and gave me a detailed explanation of everything they did to my car and didn’t even try and up sell or tell me I needed major work. Simple quick and easy!! Thank you Conway and thank you Wilhelm!

Excellent service and very professional staff! Highly recommend!

Outstanding service !!! Jessica was wonderful to work with. They offered honest and objective advice about repairs, which I truly appreated. Ill definitely be bringing my car back to Wilhelms.

Courteous and prompt service, including Lyft home and back again! My first time there for my Honda Accords routine maintenance plus new tires. I will return.

They got me in on a days notice and the service was done very quickly and thoroughly. My only criticism would be that the vehicle was left unlocked and window down when it was comleted until i arrived to pick it up. I have had this issue with other shops as well, but it would be nice if the vehicle is secured.

These guys are the best. Very professional and very honest. We are on a road trip and they could have fleeced us but they treated us like we lived around the corner. They told us exactly what we needed and what we didn’t need and even referred us to another place for something they couldn’t do. I definitely recommend!

Great service, friendly, helpful and responsive. Love the free ride-share service so I didn’t have to miss work. Highly recommend!!

I had to take my grandson’s car in for an estimate yesterday and everything that was done was extremely professional, employees were very friendly and courteous and the shop was clean. Workers put gloves on before driving the vehicle and everyone wore a mask. Unfortunately, my daughter was the one who decided where she was having the work done, but I will take my own car back to Wilhelm’s in a heartbeat! Definitely a 5 star experience.

I will literally take the time to leave a review every time I leave here, because these guys deserve all of the praise. I have an older car so I need to get this and that repaired relatively often, meaning these guys feel like family at this point. Not only do I enjoy the staff as human beings, but I enjoy the quality work that’s done on my car. I am insanely picky about who I let work on my car, and have been a repeat customer at wilhelm at least a handful of times. If you need a quality shop with quality humans, you can feel confident in Wilhelm.THANKS BOYS.

These guys are great. They get it done right every time. Super professional, fast, and honest.

Love this place, so honest and wonderful work!! My familys gone here for years! :)

I had a great experience here! They installed some caliper covers I got on my Challenger -- one of the few places I found that does it. They look sooo good. Jessica and Eddie were extremely nice and helpful. Thank you Wilhelm automotive!

We were buying a car and had Wilhelm Automotive check the car out for a Prepurchase Inspection since our regular mechanic was too far away for the seller. The general inspection was fine, until we went to buy the car and check it out for ourselves. We realized that the car was a completely different make than the seller had told us! We had told Wilhelm what car we were expecting them to look at and they could have taken one look at the car and known it was a different vehicle altogether! But they didn’t mention anything about it to us and we had to go through a few hours more work and a two hour drive to find it out ourselves. The seller was disappointing, but we’d expect that the company we are paying to check out a car for us could say “hey, this is actually a different car altogether.” Maybe they just wanted to take advantage of our money. Either way, it was completely unacceptable. Would never go there again.

Mike was fantastic to work with, could not be more happy with the service I’ve received. I will be recommending Wilhelm Auto Repair to everyone. Thanks Mike & staff😃

Was offered a free radiator pressure check. When I arrive there was told $67 but on sale for $40. Told the gal it should be free. She agreed. They pull it into the bay. Then come and tell me it’s the water pump and want to do a pressure check for $67. They had only done a visual. What happened to free and why haven’t you done it? Then they quote the price for replacing water pump. So I advised that another mechanic said thermal fan clutch is part of water pump. Guy says he wasn’t sure. How do you not know? Doesn’t it tell you when you pull the parts and labor info up?! I took my car and left.

Wilhelm is always very helpful. They always let me know ahead of time what’s going on and what it’ll cost and if it needs it. This last time they had to add a couple minor things after we went over the estimate so to help make up for it they found me a coupon to help out which was much appreciated. Every little bit helps on a bigger ticket

The two times I have come here they have been excellent. Great service, excellent communication and friendly service. Great local company I will definitely recommend and continue to do my car work with!

I am very happy with the service Wilhelm auto provided. This is my third time here and they have been great each time. Very helpful explaining the services and were able to answer all my questions. Their pricing is very affordable and in the past they have helped me with minor issues at no charge. The employees are kind and attentive and take care of my car quickly and effectively. Thank you

I’ve been taking my car here for years and always have a great experience. I feel confident that they are honest with me about what my car needs and the prices are fair. I brought my car in once because my turn signal and brake light on one side were not working, and they didn’t charge me anything to fix it because the fix was so simple (it hadn’t been hooked up correctly by the repair shop my insurance made me go to after being rear ended - that was a different shop, not Wilhelm :) I have recommended them to several friends and family members because I think they do a great job.

Theyre super friendly and helpful, would highly recommend 👌 👍 😀

Amazing service! Took care of my oil change a few months ago, everything was great but I noticed today some issues with my oil as it was getting all over my hood of car. Called around 4:15 & they got me in before they closed to make sure I still had enough oil in my car & cleaned all the oil from inside. Extremely grateful for their fast service & for taking such good care of my car!

It was my first time visiting this place - only needed an oil change and tire rotation. Everything started on time and only took about 45 minutes. Great service. Friendly assistance. I will be coming back next time I need something done on my car.

Cherry and the whole team are delightful!! Not only were they able to drop me off and pick me up from work, but they were fantastic about keeping me updated on their progress! Their estimate was exactly what I was charged and the work they did on my brakes was superb. I saved hundreds on my brakes vs the Lexus dealership.Plus, a couple days after, they helped install a new battery (install was free, battery was purchased elsewhere) in my car for free!!This is my new auto shop of choice for my ISF! :]

I called in dire need of a tire repair as I had a screw in front tire. Last minute call & they got me in within 10 minutes. I was out the door with my tire repaired & paid nothing. THATS WILHELM AUTOMOTIVE. They are amazing in all service needs.

Went in for tires and came out with my engine running better than when I bought it. Talk to Mike, hell do right by you.

The work was completed on time for the cost agreed upon. The office staff were courteous and helpful. The office and service area were clean.

I thought I needed my brakes replaced and after an inspection, turned out I didnt! They didnt try to gouge me or anything like that, and didnt charge me for the initial inspection either. They even mailed me a little discount for my next visit. Super nice people too. I feel like I can trust their help.

Absolutely GREAT people! Everyone from Mechanics - Store Manager provides superior service and attentiveness. Too often you deliver your car to be serviced and leave needing/wanting or expecting more. Today I left feeling fully confident with the hands and minds of those who run & work at Wilhelms Automotive! I will be returning with my car in a few days for additional service; and will be giving an additional review. They are fantastic! There are no others I trust and feel at ease with when it comes to my vehicle. I would definitely recommend seeing them for any/all of your vehicle needs; you will NOT be disappointed.

They helped us out with a quick emergency repair on a busy Saturday afternoon. Very friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We will be back for our scheduled repairs for sure!

Gas line air pressure excellent job well done Thank you Sir

I have always heard good things about Wilhelm and figured I would try them out when I purchased my Land Rover. I had heard you have to be careful when having foreign vehicles serviced and be sure the right parts are used. They always ensure I have the proper parts on my car even if someone has to drive to the dealer to get one for me! They are super affordable in their prices and always have a quick turn around.

Have had vehicles serviced at Wilhelm before and always expect professional, courtesy service. They go out of their way to advise of issues to be aware of that dont need immediate attention. And everyone is friendly, with a smile on their face.

As usual, the guys at Wilhelm did a great job at a competitive price. I dropped the car off with no appointment and they had it done quicker than I expected.

I really appreciate Wilhelm Automotive in Arcadia. They have been taking care of my vehicle for the past five years. It means a lot to have a place to go that I trust.

Called for simple information. Whoever answered was short, unhelpful, and overall unpleasant. Hopefully the work there is good, since they have a week wait for an oil change.

Welcome automotive is not the cheapest mechanic in town they are however honest mechanics who do excellent work are reliable and wont rip you off with unnecessary repairs. But I would rather pay a little extra I know Im not being ripped off and I can trust them to get the job done right the first time.

I know they will contact me with whatever the problem is,and know that I can depend on them to fix my problems.

The guys here were friendly and fun to speak to. I had an oil change done and it went fairly quickly too. Ill be back.

Had a fantastic experience for the third time at this place. Used my CFNA credit card that I got on my first visit. 6 months no interest. Used a $50 coupon too! Everything is simple and easy with their service and reps!

So far so good with Wilhelm! Ive gotten an oil change and a battery replacement from them. They are always super responsive and quick to get work done. Price seems reasonable too!

The whole staff was extremely friendly, professional and exceptionally accommodating! We are so grateful that they were able to meet us more than half way with the budget we had on repairs. Will definitely use them again in the future! Thank you especially to Conway who communicated all of the updates with us!

I needed a newMechanic ...(local) so grateful I found this attentive, efficient, friendly joint!

Great experience at Wilhelm as always.

I took a car in to have it looked at that we were considering purchasing. They were very thorough and gave us all the facts about the car so we could make an informed decision. Because of this we passed on the purchase of the car due to potential issues they saw. So glad we took it there before buying a car that would have needed up to $4k of work done in the near future.

Wilhelm Automotive was much cheaper than the Toyota dealer and I was automatically enrolled in a free customer care program that offers roadside assistance, nationwide warranty, rewards, etc.

Got the work done same day. Brakes feel significantly smoother.

Great service. Professional courteous and extremely nice to work with

Incredible service. I keep coming back because they take such good care of me as a customer. They don’t try and gouge you. Fair prices.

People were kind and totally helpful. Were understanding and patient with me I always trust them to take care if me and i recommend them all to my friends.

I rotated all of my vehicles through sequentially and as always Wilhelm on Thomas and 52nd were courteous, fast, and professional. Thank you guys!

Fantastic service. Fleet vehicle needed new tires, they diagnosed I in face needed tires. Great front desk and Management

Conway was super helpful.! Nice guy who made the experience not stressful and I might even say pleasant.

I went to several different well known places pep boys Firestone etc I was turned away. Went to the dealership felt like they were overcharging me .I was treated with respect they got my vehicle done with hundreds less than the dealership they are my new shop for sure

Very patient, excellent service, good explanations for someone who knows nothing about cars, highly recommend

They are supposed to rotate and check tire pressure when you get a oil change. They did not do that, even went so far as to put on the receipt that they did.

A car hit my Mustang over the weekend at the Shell Gas Station right next door. Eddie immediately came over to provide assistance. In addition, the entire team were kind of enough to check out my car to see if I could still make it home safely. I truly appreciate the kindness that they displayed! Thank you :)

They had my car done quickly, and everyone was very kind and helpful!

Accommodating in a timing manner Jessica was super again it couldnt be more pleased came in on a short notice they got the job done everything super not pushy recommended a maintenance and I needed a new front brakes and I got theAs promised

Outstanding service. Would recommend to all my friends

Great service friendly staff. Tell you up front what there doing and cost up front and tell you after running a service check if anything else needs to be done. They will be my permanent mechanics

This place is awesome! Very professional, honest and quick! Will definitely do business here again.

I’ve been going to Wilhelm Automotive Arcadia for many years now and have always been treated very well including explanations of needed repairs, fast reliable service and work done well. I thank goodness I have found a reliable automotive repair facility that is reasonably priced and honest. I would recommend this location to family and anyone needing a good, reliable automotive repair facility.

I bought a used Prius from a private sale and took it to Wilhelm for it to be inspected. I am very happy with how they explained what was wrong, did a thorough analysis, and was honest about the pricing on what would have to be fixed. This was all very quick and very cheap - free! Thank you to the staff that worked with me at Wilhelm, I appreciate you.

I must say that they were very courteous prompt in diagnosing the problem on my toyota tacoma... And the price was very affordable thanks again Eddie and Jessica

3rd time using these guys and every time has been great! Being a younger girl Ive always felt somewhat taken advantage of going to mechanics and always being unnecessarily up sold/pressured but that has never happened here! If anything- the guys have provided me with a few add ons free of charge with my services. Any issue Ive had they have never taken more than 24 hours to get my car in, fixed, and returned back to me. They even covered my Lyft so I didnt have to figure out a way back home which no one has ever offered to do. Overall they are super friendly, offer reasonable prices, and do a great job! Will 100% be continuing to use them in the future. :)

Great and efficient staff was super friendly and helpful

Very professional and timely in the work, happy with the amount I was charged and the overall service. Been a loyal customer for years and will continue to be!

Great service. Clean. Explain everything well. Nice people. Highly recommend.

Work done quickly and efficiently. Very pleasant to work with.

570$ to change an alternator double the price of any other place. 290$ for the part,190$ labor and 90$ in taxes and other added services. Way to expensive.......no belts changed or anything else done just the alternator. If your not made of money I dont recommend going here. Also when I left the shop,about 10 miles away my front right tire came completly off the control arms,the notes on my receipt say that my suspension was loose but nobody said anything, just a coincidence, maybe??????

My window wouldn’t roll up and I was in a bind for time. I called Wilhelm and I was seen immediately. The personnel was friendly, professional, and extremely accommodating.

Came here because I needed new tires badly. They let me come in same day for service and it was done in a couple of hours. They were fast, courteous and very professional.
