My daughter has a 2003 Toyota, and the brakes started grinding so bad she was afraid to drive the vehicle. First vehicle and I don’t drive the vehicle at all so I was unaware of what was wrong. On top of that her sticker is extremely expired because of the check engine light we haven’t been able to update the sticker. Steve (mechanic that I dealt with here) understood that it was a older vehicle and I would not want to put too much money into the vehicle especially at one time. He felt the most important thing let’s get the vehicle drivable and safe to drive. Then Steve broke down options I could take to get through emissions. Very helpful and very knowledgeable group of mechanics. I honestly felt very comfortable dealing with Steve and trusting Steve to make sure my daughter will get where she needs to go safely. Even if a another shop would charge cheaper, because of the care and urgency that Steve displayed, I have no issue bring my vehicles to them or referring anyone I know to them. My daughter not only is a full time college student but also she works and that was her way of getting around. My wife and I both work long hours so we don’t have the luxury to get my daughter daily to school or work. After hearing everything that was wrong with the car she was in tears. Thank you Steve and the Farnsworth Auto Plus crew for putting a smile back on my daughters face.

This crew does a great job. They are always honest and fair. They let me know that some of the front end work I needed to get done on my truck was actually under a recall and can be done for free. I always feel comfortable having them work on my cars and truck, everything from a simple oil change, front end/U joint repair and replacement, and exhaust replacement.

I really appreciate all the help they gave me. They even gave me a courtesy car which I truly appreciated. They are very trust worthy and honest and I felt very comfortable with them and I would definitely go back to them for all my car needs. Thank you!!!

I went into Auto Plus and Tire with a flat. They were extremely friendly and helpful in getting me back on the road. The tire size I needed wasn’t in stock at their shop, so they immediately sent an employee to pick one up at their local warehouse. I’d be happy to give Auto Plus more business in the future.

Angel helped me immensely with getting my brakes, rotors, and tires changed. They evaluated my car and he told me was needed to get done as if it were his own car getting serviced. He discussed my different options to help me decide what I wanted to do. Overall, the best and most honest service I’ve had on my vehicles.

Steve was awesome. He was very accommodating and the only tire shop that had the specific size tire that I needed. He got me in and got me out in a timely manner, and followed up several times to make sure that all was okay. They also had the best prices. Would highly recommend.

Angel was very professional, honest and provided a very detailed list of maintenance to be completed. I appreciate him taking time and recommending priority tasks to be completed. My car is in much better shape than I left, there wasn’t any talking up prices or anything vague in what was explained. Will definitely continue working with Farnsworth Auto Plus.

After my car broke down, I was able to bring my car in first thing and got my car back later that day after having extensive work done. When my car was done, Angel was nice enough to pick me up and bring me to the shop to pick up my car since I had my car towed there. They were reasonably priced and I would highly recommend this place.

The guys at Farnsworth are awesome. My son attends Aurora U from out of state and they have taken great care of him. We’ve had to use them on several occasions and Steve and Angel are always very friendly and keep me informed of the repairs. They do great work and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for all your help.

This was the first time I had to buy a new set of tires and I was completely lost. But these guys really knew what they were doing and they were able to help me out and pick out the proper tires that I needed. I will definitely be coming back to support this local business because screwed car dealerships haha.

This was one of the in network mechanics under my vehicle warranty. My check engine came on and I brought it into Farnsworth Auto Plus. They filed the claim to replace my fuel sending unit and had it completed the same day! Steve at the shop was very helpful and professional and I highly recommend their services.

I have been bringing my car here for about a year. I love this shop Steve and Angel always take care of me. I have never been to a automotive shop where they give you real options that don’t break the bank but get you back on the road quickly. I’m moving across town and buying a new car I won’t be taking that car anywhere else. It too will be a Farnsworth Auto Plus and Tire maintained car.My mother also takes her car here and will NOT go anywhere else ever not even for a oil change.You will not be disappointed this is a great place to bring your vehicles!!!

Review №22

I will preface this with saying that it is rare for me to give a review, this one is well deserved. I was driving and realized I had a pretty major leak in my tire and happened across Farnsworth Auto Plus and Tire. Steve, the owner of this family business, immediately gave me a sense of assurance. He was sincere and extremely accommodating. I also needed a set of winter tires and he gave me a great price that matched the lowest I found online and labor was very reasonable and well done. He checked in multiple times over the course of the week while my vehicle was at the shop. Again, couldn’t have been nicer and really made me feel assured. He’s an honest businessman. When I picked up the car, his manager Angel was also extremely nice, it’s evident that comes from the top. The final thing that blew me away was their offer to store my summer tires which again I thought was very reasonable, and if I stored them they would switch them for no cost once the time comes. This is a place of business that is doing things right, putting the customer first, and I will be a returning customer although it is 30+ miles from where I live. Thanks again Steve, Angel and the rest of the team over there!

These guys were great. Brought my car in to have an exhaust repair. These guys were unable to find the correct part for my repair. Fortunately, they were able to fabricate the part on their own and fix my car for about 1/4 of the price. Great work guys. You have earned my future business. I’ll certainly bring you all my cars for service. Highly recommended this place.

1st time customer...2013 Mini Cooper. I called and was able to get my car in and serviced the same day. Angel was very nice and honest about the cost and my options. Steve was very helpful and kind. Everyone was very professional. Angel was able to find the part I needed to replace my cracked coolant hose without me having to wait possible days to get it from the dealership. The waiting are was very nice and clean. If you want great customer service, honesty and professionalism...this is the place to go!

I really like Farnsworth Auto. They provide hep and insight without the expectation that they will get your business. I called them several times asking about tires and other services They tried to help me select the best tires within my budget. I waited three weeks and called them again. I still received great customer service. I then waited two more weeks and called them again when my tires were totally bald and containing another nail in one of them. Angel and Steve understood my urgency, gave me the same great price and service and allowed me to be immediately slotted for new tire installation and oil change service without any problem. Bravo to them!!!!!

We have a 1999 and 2004 with a lot of life left in them. Farnsworth Auto Plus and Tire has been servicing our vehicles for a year and half now. So far the guys are doing a great job at helping us keep these older vehicles running as they should. Prices are reasonable, and they get the job done right the first time. The 0% financing on repairs, and loaner vehicles have been great tools for us. If you’re looking for reliable maintenance and service, check these guys out!

Fantastic service. I replaced my front brakes and my wife and 15 month old started out on a 5 hour trip to visit family. Twenty minutes in the front brakes were overheating, and I was stopped at this exit. Luckily Farnsworth Auto Plus was the closest place. They got us in right away, correctly diagnosed a faulty brake light switch under the dash and had us back on the road in under 3 hours. They were honest, caring and made our tough situation so much better. Thank you! I will be returning next time I need work done. I highly recommend them!

Review №77

Had an oil change before a trip out of stateGot to my destination looked at the oil stick and there was almost nothing there. When back to do another oil change to make sure I wasnt goin crazy and after the oil change I look at the oil stick and had a little less then half. So instead of me getting 5000 per oil change I was getting 3000 miles . Never going back. you cant trust them.And I know its not an engine issue because I use to do my oil changes myself and I never had to do oil changes so often. I also asked around with other mechanics. I almost lost my engine because you guys wanted to save 5 dollars on another oil can.

I had a few of my bolts stripped in my tire so I went to a place close to home who said it’s a 500-600 dollar job because of my wheel being connect to my steering wheel on this particular model so I was only able to replace 3 tires so yesterday that tire finally gave up on me I called they were very friendly told me they have a few options to try before they get to the point where they have to even go that deep and to tow my car there and they were able to get the bolts off and put a new tire on all for $130 😳 very happy and satisfied customer totally recommend nice waiting area with refreshments and it’s clean

I recently moved to the area, and have been trying to find a new place to take my car for its regular maintenance and anything else that might come up in the foreseeable future lol! In trying to find an establishment I have been over charged, have had things done halfway, and not given the full truth as to what was actually going on. This was until I came to Farnsworth auto plus. Steve and his team are great to work with and give you fair pricing for the work done. Steve took me back and showed me all of the issues one by one and helped me to understand why each repair was needed. This made making a pricy repair easier to swallow haha, and it is safe to say that from now on I will trust their recommendations.They’ve gone so far as to let me use a loaner that they have so that I could get around while my car was being worked on. This typically is not something I’ve seen done outside of the dealer, so I was very happy that they thought to include this service. Overall 10/10 service and work, I highly recommend!

I was in a bind when my front tire popped. I called my dealership and they said they didn’t have the tire I needed and it would take days to arrive. My friend suggested I call Farnsworth Auto plus. I told them my issue and asked if they had the tire to match my other three. They said they didn’t but they were willing to drive and pick it up and they would be ready to take my car in just an hour, no appointment needed! The whole process was smooth, and hassle free and I highly recommend them!

First time customer and will definitely return to this establishment to get more car maintenance done! First off, great customer service! Steve was very approachable and helpful.

With so many different car mechanic shops in Aurora, this is definitely one of few that I will confidently return my business to. Thanks!

Steve and Angel both took care of my vehicle. They were able to evaluate and give me advice on what to do especially with it being an older vehicle.

I’m from Memphis, TN and I just moved up here to Naperville IL. I’m only 22 and My car was having trouble with the steering wheel. My ford 2014 is known for having recalls on that problem. I needed a rack and pinion. I went to two places and they where charging extremely high. Good Year priced me with the total of 2500 without tax and the other place charged 690 to do the job but they never did a rack and pinion. So I wasn’t going to take my chance with that and it doesn’t come with a warranty. I was close to trading my car in that I would be done paying for this year. I’m blessed to scroll across Farnsworth Auto Plus. I talked with Steve and Angel and they were nice and they knew what they where talking about. They helped me sign up for easy pay and etc and even ordered the correct part I needed. . They gave me a lift to work and picked me up from work when the job was done. I’ve finally found a place that I trust to bring my car and not be over charged like other places. I’m young and I know people will take advantage of me because of my age. I’m just thankful. Thank You Angel and Steve.

I always bring my vehicle to Farnsworth Auto Plus first because they fix it the right time and tell you the real cost of what your vehicle issue/s will be versus other places that try to sell you unwanted services you dont need. This place is an honest buisness and their staff is very professional. I was surprized to still see a place like this. I am treated with respect, valued as a customer and even make me feel as if I were family.

Poor experience all around. Went in for an oil change. They failed to re-attach the skid plate. Found that out when driving down the highway with sparks flying everywhere. Had to take it back in for them to fix it. They had to replace the thing entirely which meant they had to order the part. Car was not derivable for about a week due to their mistake.Not only that but they reported the wrong mileage while doing this service. Now the Carfax report on my car reads a mileage much higher than actual. So, when I go to sell the car the Carfax report will say the car has a mileage inconsistency which lowers the value of the car.Thanks a lot...
