KAAMS Auto Repair

Very helpful recommendation on where to go next. Experts as well as nice people w nicer protocols. I would go there definitely after this point. They diagnosed my truck and gave me the code. I have to go to dealership next.

Karl and Melissa run a fabulous shop. They are very attentive and provide professional service at a very good price. Jon Rector-Rector Insurance

Great repair service! Local small business, fair price, great at communicating what they were doing and why, explained any questions I had, conveniently next to bus lines.

They gave their diagnostic and explained beforehand what they were doing and how it priced out and did no work before confirming with me what I wanted to do after the diagnosis report.

Their pricing was fair and they gave a full breakdown report of what they charged and why, which matched what they quoted me from the diagnosis down to the cent.

They took care of my exhaust system issue the same day as the diagnosis and I was able to drop it off at 9 and pick it up by 3. They even looked into a recent noise my car was making and fixed it, it sounds so much better now!

And the repair shop is right next to the Green/Green-Hopper lines so I didn't have to worry about an Uber or ride-share.

We were passing through from Wisconsin to Kentucky for a funeral when our wheelbearing decided to let loose. We had the tow truck take us to Kaams and I'm so glad we chose them. We got there about 330pm, they moved us to top priority, had the parts by 415pm and the car was fixed by 5pm when they closed. These are some great down to earth funny people and they kept our spirits up the whole time. They're hard workers, they work fast and they do it right! Thank you so much Kaams!!

Kaam’s always takes care of my auto needs! Have used them for years. I pulled up today after being told I couldn’t replace my battery myself, due to programming. They were able to get my car in, all the work done and ready for me within a couple of hours. Very reliable, friendly and honest!

KAAMS has been the most reliable and helpful shop we have ever taken a vehicle to. We have a Nissan Juke that has been giving us all kinds of problems and they are great at letting you know just what needs to be fixed and getting you back on the road. Melissa is amazing and friendly and always a pleasure to speak to. Would highly recommend and we'll be using them for future car troubles.

I was halfway through a five hour drive and the shield on the bottom of my car started falling off, then the metal shield under that. I found Kaams on google and they were able to get me in and out that day. It took about 3 hours total because they were (understandably) working on other vehicles. Five stars for their auto service and five stars for their customer service.

I recently had my 2000 Lexus worked on by KAAMS. Here is my experience:
My car was running rough; the idle was running low. Additionally, I needed an alignment. I worked closely with Karl and Melissa the whole time. They diagnosed the car, found the issues, and did not do any repairs until I approved. They used quality parts and did a great job repairing everything that needed fixed. If you are having automobile issues, just call KAAMS.

New shocks, tires, alignment on my 17 RAM.
Drives and rides like a new truck! You guys are awesome and personable!
I highly recommend KAAMS!

As we all know perfection is impossible, but when it comes to car problems and finding mechanics what is possibly the most important aspect is finding someone who is honest! I just brought my not-so-new new car in to KAAMS to have an overflowing handful of issues fixed. They got my car in on time, and were extremely communicative making sure to call before fixing each issue and let me know the prices. The car was finished quickly and everything came back running well. After a couple days I started experiencing some issues and called to let them know and they scheduled me right in (then this is where they sealed the continued customer deal...) They promptly went through the repairs and quickly found the issue, they called to let me know it was a small issue with something not being sealed 100% correct, and they fixed it. They fully took accountability for the mistake and didn't charge me a dime. I left with a car that definitely runs better than ever, and more importantly with the confidence that my car was fixed by honest people who do good work and who don't mind admitting they're mistake, even if they could have gotten some extra money out of me. That's as close to perfect as you can get if you ask me... Thank you for your service! This mechanic-hopper has finally found her spot. Highly Recommend!

Engine check light was on, and they figure out the problem. The problem was not shown in the error codes. They figured and fixed it.

KAAMS is the absolute BEST mechanic I've ever been to. Everyone is always incredibly polite, knowledgeable and helpful. My car began having trouble over a year ago due to pre-existing engine issues, and KAAMS has been there for me every step of the way. From diagnostics, to repairs, to maintenance. Their prices are honest, and they make you feel comfortable that your car is in good hands. I had to go to my dealership for a specific maintenance issue and KAAMS went above and beyond, they had written detailed notes on my prior repairs so I could provide them to the mechanic team at the dealership. As a woman, it's taken me years and years to find a mechanic shop I felt was honest, respectful, and kind and KAAMS is it! Very thankful to have this gem of a shop in Champaign.

5 stars! Highly, highly recommended. They are extremely honest, fair pricing, and great people!

I was from out of town and in need of emergency engine repair. I did not have an appointment and they were able to work me in the same day and back out on the road so I could go home! The staff were nice, transparent with what work needed to be done and the cost. The office was clean and I couldn’t be more grateful, I would definitely recommend!

These guys & ladies here are amazing! Kirby Firestone (Urbana) led me to believe I needed a whole new engine, thank god I brought it to KAAMS first, where they know what they are doing! Saved me thousands of dollars in the process; thanks guys!

They do a great job ( they make sure to get it right), are courteous and take the time to explain in ordinary English what the problem is & what the solution is.

My work truck broke down while I was driving through Illinois and I had it towed to this business. They diagnosed that my transfer case had finally gone out and they replaced it. Im back on the road 5 days later and it runs perfectly! Awesome guys and service! I recommend to everyone

The very best in the Champaign area. They do the job right the first time and do it for a fair price. You’re not going to find a better car repair service than Kamms!

I had them work on my 1989 Ford F-150 in 03/22, and they were very quick in diagnosing issues and providing a quote. They had quick turn around and were great at communicating. Everyone I interacted with was very professional. Would use again, 100%

KAAMS is super knowledgeable & explained things in a way that was easy for me (the mechanically un-inclined) to understand. They’re reasonably priced & their customer service is out of this world! Give them a try. You’ll be glad you did!
