Customer Reviews for Custer's Auto Repair

“5 stars!”

“These folks are very knowledgeable and very friendly. Real folks doing their best work.”

“I would highly recommend Custer's Auto Repair. Recently, I was traveling from Iowa to Tennessee, when I had a mishap with a deer. I pulled over for gas and realized my front bumper was too close to my tire for the 13 hour drive ahead of me! I googled Auto Repair and was directed to Custer's Auto Repair. The shop was actually Closed for the day but, there were some guys working on their own cars when, I told them I needed help and immediately, Lyle, Robin and another guy (didn't get his name) assessed the situation with my truck and repaired my bumper enough for me to drive safely back to Tennessee. Not only did they fix my Emergency, they didn't price gouge me! Actually, they weren't even going to charge me and said they were there just to help people! (I did however, give them a nice tip) but, I was SO impressed with their Professionalism, Character and Service! Thank you, again for your Kindness!”

“My wife and I were almost to Galesburg when our transmission started acting up. It was late Friday afternoon and I hoped I could find a shop open. I found Custers on my Cell phone, and somehow got the car to them. We were two hours from our RV and much further from our home in Texas! Fred Custer volunteered to drive us back to our RV, because there probably weren't any car rental places open! Fortunately, he didn't need to do that as he drove us by Enterprise and they were still open. Monday morning they called me and said they had found two transmissions. By Wednesday morning my old transmission was replaced and we were once again on our way. He didn't know us from Adam, but he treated us like we lived next door. We can't thank him enough. Oh yeah, and the car runs better than before!”

“THE best. Fred and his family are not only consumate professionals- but incredible people as well. Stuck with a dead transmission on the way to the Sturgis Motorcycle Festival in South Dakota from maryland, ONE phone call saw Fred and his son pick us up, also PERSONALLY tow our motorcycle trailer to their great shop, remove the transmission, diagnose the problem, find a reputable dealer to get a certified used transmission, install that transmission, and get us back on the road THE SAME DAY. Myself, and my Motorcycle Club cannot express how incredible these folks are - they saved the trip (as we were also carrying others' motorcycles), and were truly what one looks for when seeking honest, familial, down to earth auto professionals...

“They are always so nice, provide great, quick service! Best place to go as a woman, they won't try and overcharge just because you're a woman.”

“Where do we began? From the moment they answered their phone I knew this place was special. They worked to get us in right away. They all thoroughly diagnosed our transmission and was able to pinpoint the problem. Saved us THOUSANDS of dollars. Thank you thank you thank you to everyone at Fred's shop, you've got a customer for life! This place saved us, we were passing through galesburg for business, 11 hrs from home. Our transmission started slipping. We received excellent service, honest explanations and speedy service. I highly recommend this place. Such a loving and caring family.”

“To be frank, this place saved me. I was out in Galesburg for business, about 3 hours from home.. I lost my brakes, it’s 430 on a Friday, cold and in the mist of a snowstorm. Most places are closing and have their workers eager to enjoy the Friday. A man by the name Travis stayed there with me an additional 3 hours and fixed my brakes. I normally do all my cars work, I actually work for a car YouTube channel where we rebuild cars. I understand prices and what’s fair. Not only did he give up a large portion of his weekend to help a stranger, but he did it at a very fair price. I am very grateful places like this still exist, Firestone wouldn’t have helped me out. At Custers you can tell they actually care about people. The passion they have for the job is an excellent addition. They 10/10 deserve a recommendation. I made it back home to my family safely, thank you Travis”

Custer's was able to look at it right away, diagnosis the problem, and get him back on the road quickly. They were honest, helpful, knowledgeable and plain and simple good people. I highly recommend them! Thank you so much!”

“When we visited Galesburg one evening, our car would not restart, and we had to leave it in town. We found Custer's through an online search with good reviews. We called them, and they had the car towed and diagnosed the next day. The staff was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and fair with their pricing. I was very pleased with their work and glad that we found them. I'd highly recommend them for automotive repair.”

“This was the third mechanic I visited in Galesburg. My seatbelt wasn't retracting properly. The first mechanic said it would be $65 to take the panels off and clean the seatbelt, but if the retractor was broken, it would be more. The second mechanic said it would be SO expensive to fix and she wouldn't recommend 'wasting money on it.' I finally found Custer's. After the mechanic took the panel off, he pulled the seatbelt into the lock position several times, and it started to retract faster. The grease had just hardened and needed to be warmed! He also said my seatbelt needed to be cleaned, that's why it was retracting slowly. They didn't even charge for that! I was amazed. They checked my lightbulb that was out to see if it was a circuit issue, and suggested I go buy a really nice lightbulb at O'Reilly's that they would pop in for me. PHENOMENAL customer service, saved me hundreds of dollars and kept me from being scammed.”
