When youre not from the area, it can be very nerve racking to find a reliable and honest person to take care of your car without any hassle. Calvin really is the best at what he does! Hes the only mechanic I trust with my beloved Mustang. He works diligently and is passionate about his work. A great local business to confide in!

I have had horrible experiences getting my car worked on and a friend if mine referred me here and I was impressed on how efficient and quick he was to respond and he answered all my questions ect. He was reasonable with pricing and everything good quality work Im not taking my car anywhere but here moving forward!!!!!:)Side note I absolutely loved meeting his dog 🐕 so friendly

Cr automotive is by far the best service I’ve had in a while. Great prices and friendly service to boot. Great Customer service is difficult to find now a days. But here it is!!!! I will be coming back again and again.

The only person I trust with my car! Calvin is honest, dependable, fair, and knowledgeable. He always answers his phone and listens to my sometimes ridiculous questions and even talks me out of panic attacks ! He is truly an amazing and mechanic and I highly recommend using him if you want an honest and dependable mechanic . Thank you Calvin!

Calvin does great work! Ive called him for years when I had a vehicle with issues, Ive never been disappointed, work is always timely with fair prices. By going to Calvin you can trust you wont be ripped off, youll save money, and youll support a local business thats been going for years. I will always send my friends and loved ones his way.

Im so glad we found this place! Calvin is a great mechanic and person! He went above and beyond for us! C.R. has our business for LIFE!!

Needed repairs made to my camping trailer. Calvin made it and got me back on the road. The cost was reasonable. All of the services was with a smile.

First thing you do when you move to a town is find a good honest mechanic, unfortunately I didn’t find C R Automotive until right before I was moving. He did great work for a very fair price. I knew I was getting a honest mechanic just by talking to him. His rates are great for skilled labor and he charged me for what it should take to get a job done not all the extra time. This place can’t be beat.

Was able to see me the same morning about a fuel system issue. Very knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend for diagnosis.

I had some issues with my breaks and needed them looked at sooner than later. I had called and spoke with Calvin who was able to get me in same day. He closes later than most shops (7:30) which honesty, that and his reviews are why I went with him. He was punctual and honest and my car has never driven better-for real. Awesome neighborhood repair shop. I will keep my business here! Thanks Calvin!!

Ive used this shop twice now. He provides quality service at very reasonable rates. His hours are very convenient as well. I definitely recommend this shop for your auto repair needs. I have had to go back for more repair service since I wrote the original review. As I drove down the road today and I was warm and comfortable in my car despite the cold temps outside, I was once again thankful for using this shop. The part needed to repair my hvac issue turned out to be the most elusive car part to obtain. The part was never found. However, Calvin still was able to repair the issue. Despite spending a large amount of his valuable time trying to hunt down this part and putting in extra work to repair the issue, he kept his rate completely fair. Its so nice to know such a shop exists in our area!

Very impressed by the professionalism, patience, and compassion this business shows! I was recently stranded an hour from home early in the morning. Knowing that he couldn’t get to my car right away...the owner still stayed on the phone with me for 30 minutes n went over all the ideas he had to help me get my car started so I could get home. Without his knowledge who knows how long I would’ve been sitting out there. You don’t find too many people like that these days ...the world needs more people like you! 😊

Relatively minor problem that left my old truck unusable until fixed. Calvin was able to schedule me asap and the initial quote was fair. I travel for work and being that I have an older truck I often need work done. Without any local knowledge I choose my business based on how my initial conversations go with the mechanic. Calvin communicated the problem effectively and set reasonable expectations. He then went above and beyond by fixing what I needed without the part I had purchased. It all came out under his quote & now I can save $80 on a part I no longer need. I hope I dont need his services again during my short stay here but I would recommend him to anyone.

Let me tell you about C.R. Automotive repair ...*Comes highly recommended by friends*On a moments notice he made himself available --on a weekend evening-- for drop off and overview of the problems.*He is knowledgeable, kind and communicates directly.I am grateful that my sad car is in his hands.Standby for updates after he makes it well again.

Calvin was fantastic at diagnosing my car’s issue over the phone and being able to address it immediately on a Sunday. Affordable, professional, and very knowledgeable.

I usually dont write reviews, but I feel like I have to in this case. Calvin is awesome! He came out on a SUNDAY NIGHT to see if he could get my car started before even talking about bringing it into the shop. I couldnt believe he was willing to do that, but it really was amazing, and he got my car up and running in no time. With that kind of service Id expect to be spending a pretty penny, but he only charged $30. Well worth it and I will definitely not hesitate to call on him for any other services.

Cant beat the service.

So helpful and informative, walked us through everything and really knows what he is talking about. Seems to be able to work on jusy about anything you could throw his way and has years of experience with mechanic work. Has lots of connections in the area and will do whatever he can to get you the best possible value on parts, towing, and labor. We just recently moved to the area and will definitely return to him for any other repairs and maintenance in the future. He is a great guy, family man with the customers best interests at heart. 100% recommend.

Calvin does an outstanding job! He is very knowledgeable on cars and his work reflects that. Hes your guy if you need help.

Best auto repair in town. Very professional, honest, explaining in detail the problem and the challenges. He solved the problem of my car with very reasonable price. He tested drive to make sure what he has done works properly. Definitely would recommend to anyone. Thank you for your very good services.

Excellent service! Extremely friendly and flexible and will work with you with patience and a positive attitude. My car wouldnt start on a Saturday afternoon and they came to my house to try to jump it first but it didnt work. So they arranged a tow truck for me. Then they ordered a new starter for me and I paid autozone over the phone. They even drove my car back to my house for me! Wow! God bless them. I would give them my business again for sure! They walked me through everything and explained every detail patiently. So grateful for honest and nice auto repair like this.

Calvin is helpful and honest. I changed oil here. He found out the problem of rust on the frame of my car and gave me some useful suggestions. And great price! You can take your own parts.

If youre in a bind in looking for a repair when no one else will work on your car or everyone else is closed like on weekends or holidays - this is the place. A++++

The best in Champaign-Urbana area. He basically cleaned up after another shops lousy job on my car and fixed it. He is trustworthy! Because of him, my subie is alive and happy! Thank you very much, Calvin!!

Great place to take your vehicle for repairs.

CR Automotive does quality work for a very reasonable rate. Had him do several things with my old Accord and was quite satisfied with the work. Thanks Calvin
