Ron's Truck & Auto Repair

I caught a flat on my way home, which was two hours away, with my kids in the car. I called all around town looking for my tier size, and nobody had it. I called Ron's Truck & Auto Repair and got the best service I think I ever got. They didn't have my tier size, but I ordered it, and it was there within 3 hours. Everything was top-notch. Customer service truly makes you feel welcome.

Honesty and straight talk seem to rule the day at Ron’s. Thanks to Spencer for giving me confidence and insight into my car’s needs.

Spence and the team were quick to get tires ordered and installed on my vehicle!

Ron's Truck and Auto does a great job keeping my personal vehicle and the fleet vehicles on the road. Always great with communication and we get in and out in a timely manner. Pricing the best in the area.

Nice prices or reasonable

July 2019 Update: I have been using them for I believe over two years now, since my first service with them, for ALL my cars repair and maintenance needs. I still stand by them 100%. Very consistent good affordable service. Original post:Very awesome place! Called several places to price check various services and Rons was the best deal. They fixed my wheel bearing that went out way cheaper than anyone else was quoting me. They did the job well and they did it right. On top of this they were able to get me in and get it finished same day right before a holiday. These are very honest fair people. I've since gone back for an oil change and considering my car takes full synthetic their price was slightly cheaper than anywhere else I've ever gotten my oil changed. They don't annoy you by continuously trying to oversell you things you don't need, they state the facts and the options plain and simple. I need brakes done soon and a blend door actuator replaced in my car and I definitely plan on taking it back to them for both those services in the near future.

I had to use Ron’s Truck and Auto Repair in an emergency. I got stranded in Urbana while traveling from Iowa to Indiana. When I was speaking to Spence at the desk I clearly saw how busy they were. He advised that they would get to my car as soon as possible but there were several before mine. So I left my car and walked to get some breakfast. I wasn’t gone from the shop 30 minutes before I got a call that my car was looked at and the fix would take about 4 hours. I had nowhere to go so I headed back to the shop where I waited in their lounge area. I was prepared for a long boring wait but before I knew it my car was done! The work was accomplished in just over half the time I was advised, the price I paid was fair (I called a friend to verify this) and Spence even tried to save me a credit card service charge. Overall, if I had to be stranded somewhere I’m glad it was near Ron’s.

This business was excellent. We were travelling through Champaign IL & discovered we had a problem with are suspension system. They were busy but said they would at least look at it to see if we could limp home the last 180 miles. They ended up fixing it & we were back on the road by 10:15.

Amazing, friendly service. I got my car towed here a few weeks ago and not not an hour after my car left my house, the owner called me and told me what was wrong with my car. Was inexpensive and very fast. Highly recommend!

I took my car in for for problems with the engine and AC. They were swamped, so I left my car to work on when they had time. By the next day, I had a reasonable quote and they noticed a a problem with the steering wheel, which other mechanics didn't seem to want to fix. Car was ready days sooner than expected and it works better than ever! Very professional and proactive with repairs.

If only all businesses worked this way...
I had a hitch installed to prepare for an interstate move with no flexibility in the timeline. When I went to pick up the trailer I learned that the company that installed the hitch did an absolutely terrible job. I called and they told me the person who installed hitches would be back in the state in a week and I could come in then and have it looked at. Obviously this wasn’t an option so they referred me to Ron’s and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Ron’s understood my tight schedule and squeezed me in between appointments. They were fast, efficient, and friendly. It was the sort of interaction you hope to have with a business, one where they treat you like a person and actually try to help. I am incredibly greatful to Ron’s for saving our move. I would go back there in a heartbeat.

The customer service at Ron's is exceptional. They got me in right away with a busted hose that was causing my car to overheat and smoke. They quickly quoted me a fair price for parts and labor. When they discovered they didn't have the part I need they called all over town until they found it. If the car had to stay the night, they offered me a ride home. They even have wireless internet free in the waiting area! All-around this is an awesome place. I'll come here again if I ever need to.

Called the man at 8 am had to go get a Ac line. I have a Peterbilt, he works works on cars ! By noon I had ice cubes blowing out the vents. He did me a very fair price and great job without asking for a quote. Highly

This place is Awsome. Our AIr conditioner broke on a cross country road trip. We showed up at Rons at 745 am. They said it would be about 30 min befor they could look at it. As promised they pulled the van into the shop within 20 min and started diagnostics on the Ac system. They found the leak, replaced the hose and we were back on the road by 930.
Price was very fair and the people were great
Give them your business, you will be very happy.

The best mechanic in the area in my opinion. This is the only shop I take all three cars to. I've tried other mechanics just to be lied to and ripped off. Midas once quoted me 800 for a repair so I called Rons in front of the guy and asked for a quote on the same repair including everything on the quote. While they were getting my quote the guy at Midas prints a new page quoting 650 now, he say suddenly not /everything/ there was necessary and he could "get away with it but wouldn't recommend it" and it would still be 3 days. Rons quoted me 400 and 2 days. I immediately had my car towed over there, and they got it done the next day instead. While that won't be everyones experience every time, they're the only ones I trust with my car.

When my car broke down last night I cant say I was thrilled. I called two towing company's, the first one told me nobody was going to help that time of night. Then I called Tatmans and they recommended Rons. This morning I got a call early on, and Rons kept me in the loop. My quote was fast, the work was fast, the staff was friendly and it was good work at an affordable price. They'll be my go-to from now on, I'm thoroughly impressed.

Got me right in and took good care of my truck..Saved money and time...my place from now on!! 🤟🏽

Got us back on our way very quickly after replacing a flat tire with a new one. Friendly staff, even let our dog wait inside with us so he didn't have to get hot walking around outside :)

I work at Autotown in Champaign and we use many shops for the different cars/trucks and jobs that need done, but for any AWD/4x4 car or truck I would use Ron's. We had a 2005 Grand Cherokee with the rear dif going out that 2 other shops turned down, they essentially didn't want to mess with it, I called Ashley down at Ron's and they got us right in. Ashley and Spencer were Johnny-on-the-spot when it came to updating us and keeping us informed of new issues that arose, which always seems to happen with older vehicles. They were sure to call around to find the best parts at the cheapest prices, this is huge as most shops don't necessarily care and will take the first part they find regardless of cost. You would be doing yourself a disservice not calling Ashley down at Ron's, fantastic experience from start to end!

Replaced an engine for me. Excellent work, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. Honest work, and I appreciated that. They do charge an extra.fee for using a cc, but they let me know up front. I will use them again.
