Sipes Auto Repair - Belvidere (IL)

5 /5 Hunter Poole: Took my BMW in for a repair and they did wonderful! It was done within a day and needless to say I will be using his services for further repairs/upgrades.

5 /5 Mexy n You Know It: Great experience at Sipes! Very honest guy in Dave there who will tell you what to expect for cost and wait time, and will also give you tips about your vehicle. They will also not add a bunch of unnecessary repairs to your vehicle to try and max out the bill. Sipes Auto Repair is the place to go. Thanks again, guys!

5 /5 Robert Okazaki: Passing through Belvidere and stopped for gas; noticed the smell of coolant and checked under the hood to see coolant sprayed all over the engine compartment. Checked google maps for nearby auto repair; found Sipes Auto and saw that very good ratings had been posted about their services. I called and talked to Dave, he troubleshot the problem on the phone and said to let the engine cool down, then drive it for the 2 minutes it would take to get to his shop. Arrived with the temp gauge past the 3/4 mark. Dave immediately began to look at my car. I was pleasantly surprised at this as his garage and lot were full of cars and he and his staff seemed quite busy working on them. Dave found the problem, which was a cracked radiator hose inlet. Said getting a new radiator would take 2 hours and installing it another 2 hours. I assumed he would not be able to begin work that day and started thinking about car rentals or Uber rides back to the Chicago area. My next surprise was hearing he could work on it as soon as the part arrived. Dave directed me to a local diner for breakfast and afterward, I took an Uber to the library. After 4 hours had passed, Dave called, telling me that the job was completed. My last surprise was seeing parts and labor costs that were well definitely under the prices that Ive paid for auto repairs in suburban Chicago. I highly recommend Dave and Sipes Auto for his great service and how he treated me as a stranded customer. He is not part of any of those large auto repair conglomerates with fancy waiting rooms. Just a good old fashioned auto mechanic. 5 stars is not a high enough rating. Thanks Dave!

5 /5 A Bolz: So I’m on my way driving from Chicago to Minnesota when the car starts making noise. Her name is the Steel Magnolia for those of you who are wondering. I pull over at the Belvidere oasis and take a look. The car is still moving, so maybe I can pretend I hear nothing. Great. It’s leaking some sort of fluid, so I’m no longer willing to use the just ignore it approach with hours in the trip left. I call Sipe’s and thank God they’re willing to fit in a weary traveler. I arrive and wait nervously on an entryway bench, but have company from a stuffed Winnie the Pooh of all things that sits next to me. Dave confirms it’s the issue he already suspected on the phone right away. Thank God it’s not the Steel Magnolia’s time yet and she lives to see another day. They take care of it, assure me the liquid is condensation, and send me on my merry way with tears in my eyes. I was a sitting duck trying to get home next to a Pooh bear, and they were completely honest and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg when they could have. If I lived closer I would be taking my vehicles here.

5 /5 Wyatt DeBoer: Always good service and affordable. He understands how to keep you on the road safely within your budget.
