-Jack Fivecoat Jr. - Yorkville il
Great service! In quickly and very affordable, and a two year warranty to boot! This place cannot be beat. Infinitely more cost effective than my dealer and other locally owned shops. I am now a long term customer!

-Russ Miller - Sugar Grove
Visiting for Christmas. Headlight out & no warm garage to replace in single digit temps. Jeep dealer & other local garage booked for 3 days out. Marty's got me in next day. Got there first thing, on my way in 15 minutes. Very fair price. Nice folks.

We've had several service experiences with Marty's...couldn't be more pleased with prices and service. They are very straightforward with you. Cant speak more highly.of these folks.

Marty took off the engine cap and immediately saw the issue in a matter of 15 mins (vs Ken's that did nothing of the sort), he also showed my boyfriend the issue and I had photos sent to my phone as proof, not too many shops go above and beyond like that). Turned out I had valves not opening due to metal flaking off various parts of the engine and being sucked into the engine- overall it was broken. With help, and several phone calls to Erin and Marty about how to resolve the issue it turned out I had no choice but to replace the engine to ensure no future issues. They were very kind, negotiated costs knowing my financial situation, and completed the job in a very reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend Marty's Auto Shop, even if you have to drive a ways- no swindling, honestly, and good response time. Thanks guys, car has been running great ever since!!!!
