Thompson's Automotive

I recently took my car to Thompsons Automotive in Collinsville and had an excellent experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and transparent about what work needed to be done and why. They explained everything clearly and didn’t pressure me into unnecessary services. The repairs were done efficiently and at a fair price, and my vehicle was ready on time — which I really appreciated. I’ve seen a lot of mechanics pad estimates or drag their feet, but here I felt like the focus was genuinely on quality service and getting me back on the road safely. What stood out most was their honesty and communication. They kept me updated on progress and made sure I understood all the costs involved before moving forward. I’m happy to recommend this shop for routine mainten

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Lifesaver — Honest and Professional! I cannot recommend Thompson's Automotive highly enough! After a nightmare experience with another local mechanic who tried to scam me, I was left feeling incredibly stressed. The previous shop told me my car needed major repairs and quoted me over $7,000. Thankfully, I decided to take my car to Thompson's for a second opinion. They did a phenomenal job. Their team actually took the time to correctly diagnose the issue, and it turned out to be a simple repair that cost me less than $80! The relief was indescribable. It is so rare to find such honest, family-oriented professionals in this industry. They saved me thousands of dollars and gave me total peace of mind. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic who will treat you right and

Our family have been taking our cars to Anthony and Derrick for about 8 months now. Couple of key points about why we will continue to take our cars to them: 1) Honesty and integrity. If they don't think it's worth fixing, they will tell you so, even if it means they don't get to charge you for the repair. 2) They are respectful and considerate of their customers, especially women. My wife immediately noticed how Derrick took the time to explain things to her in a way she could understand without ever seeming frustrated, impatient, or talking down to her. That's huge, and I can't recommend these guys enough!!

I have taken my vehicles to Thompson Automotive since before they were open. Anthony has always been fair and honest with me. He has saved me money by finding simple solutions when I thought that it was something bigger. If there was a problem, he didn't charge me more unless there were more parts needed. I highly recommend them and their crew.

Thompson’s Automotive has been an absolute lifesaver! I brought them a ‘lemon’ that I’d unfortunately bought somewhere else, and their team went above and beyond to help diagnose the issues and help me make an informed decision about how to proceed. They were upfront and honest about everything from the start—no surprises, no unnecessary repairs, just genuine integrity and care. It’s rare to find a shop that truly puts the customer first, but that’s exactly what they do. I’m so grateful for their honesty, hard work, and the peace of mind they’ve given me. I won’t take my car anywhere else.
