Testimonials

On 10/25/2025 Peter M. had this to say:
I had a loud "clunk" on my right front end. They diagnosed the problem. (Bad lower control arm bushings). Made the repair in a timely manner and had me on my way in a few days. Not least of all they are friendly and knowledgeable, especially in regards to Swedish cars. Plus, they had some parts for my 1971 SAAB that are impossible to get anywhere! (The bushings were, of course, brand new). In spite of being 40 miles from where I live, I will be going back to them.

On 10/19/2025 Owen Trautlein had this to say:
I went to their open house 10/18/25, and everyone treated me like they already knew me. All of the employees are passionate about their work, and they even mounted my tires, welded my exhaust, and shined my tires for free. If you have a saab or a volvo, take it here. You will get a quality job and probably make some friends.

On 10/18/2025 Trevor Prajel had this to say:

On 9/3/2025 Sheila Santiago had this to say:
I would highly recommend this place, I took my Saab there for repair, they did a great job! And the staff is friendly

On 4/6/2025 Jason Echols had this to say:
We love our little family fleet of high-mileage Volvos and SAABs. And appreciate that Tom's shop provides a level of service that makes the trek to Crystal Lake worth the drive.
