Garage 31

Best mechanics I've ever been to! They really tell you exactly what's needed, and if they think it'll be under warranty, they'll recommend you go to the dealer! I've always had a really great experience going here. But I like to go to visit with the dogs Penelope and Chevy!

My car broke down on I-88W, Clint and his team came to the rescue. Reliable, honest, and timely to say the least of their services. So thankful for all the help Garage 31 gave me during my intense time of need! 10/10 would come back!!

Update: this has been my mechanic for over 5 years now. Even though I moved out of state, I try to get all my work done here anyway.

I love this mechanic and all the folks who work here.

I had a great experience with the shop. I had my Ford Ranger towed there after-hours when my starter went out. They have a key drop, which is great, and they got to work on it right away the next day. They stayed in touch with me throughout the process and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Reasonably priced, high-quality work done by friendly, honest folks.

But the best part.... THEY HAVE A SHOP DOG, and what a sweet pup it is! They also have cookies for your own four-legged friend.

10/10 will return.

I can't say enough about the guys and gals at Garage31. This is by far the best garage in the North Aurora area to take your car to for simple service/maintenance or major repairs. It's always a professional and pleasant experience from the moment you walk in the door to the time they hand you the keys after your vehicle has been serviced. After years of going to the "stealership" and other local auto shops in the area, I can honestly say that after my first visit to Garage 31 over a year ago they earned a customer for life on all of my families vehicles. These guys tell you exactly what you need and nothing more. Fair prices, no upsell, no lying and no BS. Truly a gem in the auto repair business IMHO. Oh, and if your really lucky, you'll be greeted by one of the shop puppies on the day you visit... 🙂👍 THANK YOU GARAGE 31!!!

This establishment is run by true gentleman. I brought my vehicle in for a very odd repair. They got me right in and fixed my issue instantly. $20 out the door. They could not have been nicer and handled my situation with honesty and integrity and it was worth $20 just to meet Harper. Don’t take your vehicle anywhere else. Thanks again boys!

Clint and all of Garage 31 are great! I’ve had a lot of mechanics as I’ve moved a lot and they are one of the most genuine, honest, and fair businesses I’ve been to. Clint goes out of his way to explain issues and determine the best course of action. He has done multiple things for my car at no-cost that most places would charge for. Trust that if you take your car here, it will be taken care of extremely well and for a fair price. I’m happy I’ve found a great mechanic I can trust.

I have been going here since they opened & wouldn't go anywhere else. Clint is always prompt in returning my phone calls & getting my car in when necessary. The entire atmosphere is positive & they usually have their dogs there in the waiting lounge area, which is a huge plus for me as a dog lover!! I feel they're trustworthy & the best mechanics around.

This is easily one of the best auto shops in the area. Very trustworthy people. Clint, Keith, and Jeff are great to work with. Look forward to continuing our relationship!

Friendly! Professional! Amazing quality. You know the stress of dropping your car off at a mechanic because you're afraid they're going to invent a million issues with your car? Yeah? Won't happen here. They're honest, reliable, and reasonably priced. We trust them with our cars and know that they'll be taken care of in the best possible way. Friendly owners and workers! Love this place.

First impression is a very friendly atmosphere. Their customer area is very clean and tidy. And if you have to wait for your service to be done, their waiting area is comfortable.
As for the service, fast and efficient. In a short amount of time, they went over my car and discovered the issues I was having. They went over them with me in a way I could understand. (Not a car person myself). Quick delivery on the parts I needed and they were able to get me on the road the next day. 100% satisfied with my visit and will be returning for the next service needs.

Even though my father-in-law referred me to Garage 31, I was skeptical about visiting this place based on recent reviews. Wow. I could not have been more pleased with Clint and the team at Garage 31. I was shocked by the quick turnaround, the detail of their assessment, and their professional demeanor.

Having worked next to mechanics for almost 7yrs, these guys seem top-notch. They take their trade seriously. They want to do a good job. And I learned that they’re family owned and operated, with just as many female owners as male owners! That’s rare, and it comes across in the way they serve their clients with a balanced business approach, from the little touches in the waiting room to the friendly conversation while I wait nervously for an answer to the fair pricing at the cashier.

In the end, my car doesn’t need as much repair as originally feared. (whew!) And I finally found a mechanic that I can trust. All in all, it was a good day at Garage 31!

Clint and company do excellent work, with a high degree of skill and an appropriate level of kindness and conscience. I take my old BMW to them to do things I'm not comfortable doing, or things that need a scan or computer reset. Clint had sixteen or seventeen years as a Mercedes Benz dealership mechanic, so he knows complex German cars well. Highly recommended for all modern cars, in or out of warranty, and especially slightly older German or other European cars.

We decided to try Garage 31 after having gone to a dealership for years. At first I was a little nervous, having been brainwashed that only dealerships know your car, but within moments my husband and I were put at ease. The facility is clean, the customer service is outstanding and to top it off, they have the cutest dog on site. They don't pressure you into anything unnecessary but still recommend what's best for your car. Nothing better than supporting a family owned business!

I had such an great experience here. I've had some pretty bad trips to auto shops, esp. considering I'm a young female. I'm used to getting ripped off. I read the reviews on Garage 31 and hoped for the best that they were right...and they were. I needed my brakes done on my CRV and thought I had waited too long and was sure my tab was going to be about $1,000...to my surprise, it was only $515...rear brake pads, rear rotors and a new battery as well. They also found the code to reset my radio if it ever gets disconnected from it's power source...which was not in the manual like it should have been. They did so much for so little and explained everything to me so I understood what was going on with my car. Oh, there is also an adorable dog in the office that greets you and sits with you while you wait. Very impressed. I feel genuinely taken care of and will be taking my car here forever. Thanks Garage 31!

The Garage 31 crew is a solid family owned business. They have experience and knowledge working on every car manufacturer. The work is though, well done and honest. You don’t have to worry about them recommending or tricking you into “fixes” that you don’t need. Their waiting room is large, clean and comfortable with WiFi, TV, tables and plenty of space to do work while your car is being serviced. We use them for preventative maintenance - Oil changes, tire rotation, new tires, and any service my wife or I’s car needs. I recommend Garage 31 to all my friends and family. They are very reliable & fair priced, don’t go anywhere else for your vehicles service.

Great mechanics for any make and model also explained everything in great detail

This is the best auto repair shop. The staff are honest, helpful, professional and friendly. They do not just provide services, they think what is the best solution FOR you, from your perspective and on YOUR behalf. Absolutely wonderful place. I will do all my future maintenance here.

I never knew a place like this existed. I know of no other car repair establishment that is honest and trustworthy AND completely reasonable with costs.

My husband brought his Audi in a few times just recently and I just took my Honda Pilot in. I can kick myself for living in Aurora since 2003 and I just find out about this place in 2019?

Word of mouth is everything and our old neighbor recommended this place to us. So now I’m passing along the good review as well. We will not hesitate one second with bringing all our cars here...and I’m going to have two driving sons soon who will have their own cars to maintain & repair when needed.

The inside is also clean, nice furniture, Keurig coffee & treats. Employees are super professional. A++++

Thanks!

I can't say enough great things about everyone at this shop. It's a family friendly no BS type of authenticity. I've brought my vehicles to them for different reasons and they've exceeded my expectations every time. They explain what they are doing and nothing is unclear. They seem to really want to help people and it shows from the minute you walk through their front door.

Great find close to my house. Had a front end issue so hey do both sides. They called after inspection said only needs the one side. Saved me $200. Honest mechanics. Check out their oil change price and included services. Always do my own oil. But next time. They are doing it.
