I had the best mechanic experience I've had to date with Average Joe Auto Repair. I can't recommend Joe enough. He is a honest, fair price individual, which unfortunately, seems to be hard to find in the car mechanic world these days. My car was shaking and rattling due to needing motor mounts replaced. Joe fixed the issue and my car has been driving smooth since.

I called on a Thursday evening and he was able to take my car in just an hour. He was very accommodating and was able to replace my starter and return the car on Friday. He also inspected the car and topped up the low oil as a courtesy. He was very nice and fast, and his price was very reasonable. He'll definitely be my go-to mechanic from now on.

Joe is extremely professional and honest about what your car needs and won’t charge you for unnecessary things like most places. And if a repair is not truly needed yet, he will take the time and effort to explain it in detail, instead of just handing you a thousands of dollars estimate like most places. He’ll even show you what’s wrong with your car (dirty filter etc) and treats each interaction like a teaching experience to increase your car knowledge. Most honest mechanic I’ve found in Champaign and/or Chicago area. 100% recommend

I was feeling my clutch has some issues and would fail during my upcoming trip to California. Joe patiently listened to the symptoms I had experienced and test drove the car. He told me the clutch was fine, putting honesty above anything else. Other mechanics had told me I should definitely change the clutch. Clutch is still running fine as Joe diagnosed it. Besides that, the potential quote he gave me was a couple of hundreds cheaper than elsewhere. He's got the ethics, experience, and knowledge to take care of your car. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
