What Do You Think About Local Auto Repair?

Aside from local news articles and blogs, Patch offers a directory listing local businesses - and gives readers an opportunity to rate them.

Each week for the next several weeks, Yorkville Patch will give a shout-out to five local businesses in our directory and encourage readers to share their experiences and views. This week, we focus on the Auto Repair & Services category.

What advice do you have for drivers to avoid repair? "Have your accident repair work completed at a shop of YOUR choice - don't be steered by the insurance company. AND regular oil changes by an experienced, certified technician," according to the directory listing.

Jason G gave it four stars: "When our vehicle was in an accident, we took it to Carstar. They took care of everything. All we had to do was drop the car off, pickup the rental and then pickup our car when it was done. Fast, friendly and stress free service," he wrote.

Like the name implies, this business focuses on "trucks and trailer vehicles of all makes and models, from light-duty pickup trucks to dump trucks and tractor trailer haulers," according to the directory listing.

No one's posted a review of this business, which gives TLC to older vehicles.

According to this listing, owner Al Patterson works with customers himself on repairing foreign and domestic cars and light trucks.
