Villars Automotive Center LLC

As a new resident of Republic, MO, I had an unexpected mechanical problem with my Ford Escape which I decided to take to Dan Villar's shop instead of the Ford dealer, hoping to get the same quality expertise and also save on repair costs. As it turned out, it was a serious and complicated electronic issue but Dan was tenacious and knowledgeable. He took the time to diagnose and fix the problem which included sensitive electronic and computer repairs. He did the job right and, yes, he also saved me money! I am thankful to have found a top notch mechanic I can trust and recommend.

I originally called a different towing company and asked if they had a truck available and they said yes. 10 minutes later the driver calls me and says itll be 20 minutes (I could have walked to there establishment in 10 minutes). So I canceled that and called Villars. He got here in 5 minutes and was nice enough to cut me a deal. I HIGHLY recommend Villars.

Quality repair, good price. Dan and team were very professional. I will return next time I need auto repair service for sure.

I was stranded with my family on I-44 starting a long trip home the day before Christmas Eve when my 2007 Odyssey started misfiring severely. Through the help of several kind people I was eventually referred to Dan Villars and was able to limp it to his shop. Despite being closed on Saturday and on a Holiday weekend as well, he did a very thorough analysis of the problem, explained very clearly what the issues were, and got us back on the road that afternoon for a very fair price. We could not have been treated better; Dan was really "the Man" to go to for us. Thanks so much!

I was in a wreck and needed a wrecker. The job was done quickly, professionally, and the price was fair
considering the mess my truck was in. I would recommend Villars 100% if you need a wrecker near Springfield!

We were returning home to Kansas after a vacation near Branson, Mo. Our truck broke down outside of Republic and my husband used our GPS to walk to a auto parts store. Luckily, he walked by Villars enroute.

He explained to them the issue. They sent a tow truck to pick up our vehicle and started working on it right away. In less than two hours after getting parts, installing and test driving they had us back on the road. They did not over charge us even though we were vulnerable to being gouged being so far from home. Great shop, highly recommend them!!

Once again great service. If you want to support a great family owned local business Villar's Automotive & Towing is who you should use. I was referred by long time local and I'm very happy they sent me in the right direction!

This review is dated as this happened last Feb (2017) but I still think about the excellent service I received here. My blazer was having all sorts of issues on a trip back to IL from OK on a Saturday. I limped it to Hoods truck stop right off I-44 hoping they could help. The very nice truck stop owner put me in contact with Villars automotive and he towed me and my uhaul trailer to his shop. The grade A mechanic and Mr Villar and I worked for hours trying to diagnose the issue. We finally took our best guesses at it late at night but the mechanic wasnt 100% feeling right about the fix but the vehicle showed no signs of the problem again. He gave me his phone number and I told him I would go the 12 miles to Springfield, MO and stay the night. Well to make a long story short I had issues. I called the mechanic to see what he would suggest and offered to come out to my hotel on Sunday morning to try to fix it. We got it narrowed down to one sensor and I followed him to an Orileys and we put it on in the lot. I made it the rest of the way home without an issue! A week later the fuel pump died but thats another story haha. So there are good people left in the world that will take care of their fellow man in need!

The gentlemen here saved our trip yesterday! We had a full horse trailer and we were in a hurry and they were fair and gave exceptional customer service. I would give them a "10" if I could.

Great owner, always does me right all of my previous and current vehicles I take here when it's something I can not do. Straight forward and honest with you, fair pricing. Stays very busy though.

Dan made experience very easy and was able to have the work done quickly. I know if i go to villars automotive center my problem will be dealt with right the first time.

Got in and out quickly. They took care of me and made sure I didn't have to stay longer with a 5 month old fussing. They are friendly people!

I gave them a call this morning to come unlock my truck. I never do that but they was there quickly and service on a Sunday..Thank you again Villars Towing.

I went in for a car inspection and they were very professional and friendly. I would definitely take my cars there in the future and also recommend them to my friends.

These guys know their stuff and make sure it's done right! Would suggest to anyone looking for a trustworthy shop that does great work!

They were quick and friendly and affordably priced! I'll be going back for any future car issues.

Courteous, prompt and charged a fair price. Highly recommend!

They have always been in top of getting things done and never had any issues

One of the best and most honest mechanics I know.

Very nice person. Great service.
