John and his great team took my truck in after I lost my brakes. I had the brakes done recently by a dealership. What John's team found out was that the previous work was not done fully. I will never trust dealerships again and will bring my future work to Tuffy. I fully trust Tuffy and know they will do a thorough job and keep me safe

Ive been taking my vehicles to John, Joe and their team for many, many years. I have taken my vehicles for oil changes and when repairs were needed felt confident in their judgment. The vehicles always felt better and ran better after their repairs. My vehicle, now, is 16 years old, bought it new but because of their good maintenance, still runs beautifully and I feel safe. Trustworthy and fair prices!!!

These are very trustworthy people. I used them for a while for regular oil changes and a few other things. Recently I took my daughters 2013 beetle to VW for a clicking noise in the front. They wanted between $1500 to $1600 as they said I needed new shocks. I called Tuffy and John gave me a price of $699. I took my car in and left paying $69 which included an oil change. What??? My shocks were not rusty as I was told by the VW dealer in Elgin. Just needed to be adjusted. It has been a month or 2 now and it drives nicely. No noise. He could have taken my $699 and I would not have known better. This is where ethics and trust comes to play. They do a great job and you can trust them.

My car died due to a bad battery. I had it towed to Tuffy at 4am. They began working on it first thing. They confirmed it was my battery and suggested an amazing replacement. They ordered the battery and installed it. I had my car back within a few hours after opening. Once again SUPERB quality and customer service.

Ive been using Tuffy for my car repairs and my family car repairs for at least 12 years. Have always had great service that is on time, friendly and has a reasonable price. Just yesterday had the oil changed and they did their inspection of my whole vehicle (which is 15 years old) and they noticed my rear shocks were leaking. Told me the price, could have it done in about 1 hour. My van feels like brand new! The price did not break the bank or surprise me.

I arrived for a scheduled 9:00AM appointment maybe about 8:30AM. I thought maybe the place did not open until 9AM at first. I walked into the shop early and they promptly took in my car for servicing, wheel alignment ahead of schedule. The work was completed on my car within reasonable time and there was even a recommendation to have front tires re-balanced back at Discount Tire* (the ones who initially recommended Tuffy's to me for the alignment work) for which I had done. It was an overall courteous and pleasant experience and done at a reasonable price* compared to other places. Thank you.

Excellent, timely and professional service when I needed it. I called in with the part I knew needed to be replaced. John, the manager, didn't question me or suggest I needed to have them look first because he trusted I knew what I needed. He had the part ready after I called and scheduled a rough time to come in. He had one of his associates replace it quickly. Best pricing around, great service, very professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend this shop for your next servicing.

Best auto shop I've been to in years. I took it in for a wheel alignment, and they did a great job on my 1991 Miata. On the way out of the parking, my shifter stopped shifting. They pushed it into their service bay, found a leaking clutch slave cylinder, and had it fixed in under an hour. That included getting the part from their supplier!. I will definitely use again.

Besides the level of service provided, is how John knows his customers by name. As soon as they walk in the door he is calling them by their first name...that is just one way to build a long-term customer. This was only my second time having a vehicle serviced by John's team and I plan on being a long-term customer.

This is, without a doubt, the most recommended vehicle service shop in the Fox valley.... And for good reason. The owners and operators John and Joe are always present. They offer very competitive pricing absolutely stand behind their work. If your car needs a service that they provide, you don't need to shop around. This toffee location is your best choice.

I am a long time customer of the Batavia Illinois Tuffy shop. This shop has serviced all of my vehicles thru the years! The team is very professional and provides the kind of service one expects. John and Joe treat old and new customers with dignity and respect. To further emphasize my trust and faith in the shop, for the last 4 years I have traveled from my home in Michigan for their service. That trip of 1,000 miles round trip speaks volumes as to why one should use this shop.

Ive been going to the Tuffy Service Center in Batavia for a few years now, after less than satisfactory experiences with dealerships and other repair shops. I have always found them to be extremely honest, professional, and dependable. John P. clearly explains what needs to be done after evaluating the problem, and he has never recommended more than what was needed. Each time Ive brought one of my cars in with an issue, sometimes unannounced, its been fixed the same day, which rarely happened at dealerships. During my most recent visit one of my cars had developed a significant power steering leak. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the total cost of the repair was $105.00. I feel this could have been worked into a significantly higher repair bill at a less than reputable shop. This shops service, pricing, and above all honesty are outstanding. I highly recommend the Tuffy Service center in Batavia. They are now my go-to source for all my auto repairs.

I have been taking my cars to John and Joe for 19 years. I drive a half hour and pass by two other Tuffy stores on my way. Why do I do this? John provides honest, fair, and great services to all the vehicles I have owned. I never worry when I bring my cars in because I know Im getting quality service and fair prices. You wont regret coming to Tuffy in Batavia! Five star service all around!

I used to live in Batavia & frequently went to Tuffy's. Then I moved to Elburn, received a free oil change from a different company. Tried them out & they seemed ok. Until I asked them to check out my son's car before he took it to college. To say they missed some very important, obvious things wrong with the car is an understatement. Needless to say, they didn't gain my trust yet but already lost it. I am back with Tuffy's and when I walked in Joe remembered not only me but the car I used to bring in, which is the one my son is now driving. John was friendly & accommodating on my first visit back. Thank you guys!

Everyone hopes to find an auto mechanic you can trust. Someone who will tell you what you need fixed on your car AND what you dont need fixed. John and Joe are those guys. You may be able to find repair cheaper elsewhere but that will only cost you much more in the long run. I have two 15 year old vehicles with 200,000 miles on each and they are still on the road driving perfect because of John and Joe at Tuffys.

Great service and friendly staff. Ive been in several times to have rear brakes inspected and serviced. After my 3rd visit (at no fault of Tuffy) they went ahead and replaced my brakes (installed by another auto shop) at no charge and took care of the warranty in house. Jon the manager/owner couldnt have been more helpful and is also a great guy to chat with. Very happy!

John does a fantastic job of running the shop. As a mechanic myself, I am very particular about who can work on my vehicles. It's really important to go with a pro that knows what they are doing that you can trust. And that's why I will always keep coming back to John and his team as Tuffy's. He has extremely competitive pricing and does consistent quality work. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

He saved me $400 for the same service that I got a quote for from Firestone(Lake Street). I couldnt believe it!! John and the crew are doing my breaks in 2 weeks!!

Steve Mathews
Jun 24, 2020 – Batavia , IL
When John opened years ago, I was his second customer. I was driving home from a certain dealership that was so rude to me and totally failed to fix my new truck correctly, I was beside myself. I should note, I'm mult-line insurance adjuster and have been for 26 years, so I can smell when I'm being taken. As I passed his shop, I saw the grand opening and went in to fix a very small issue. I pulled in, met John, Joe and Todd and I never looked back. John is honest, forthcoming and NO ONE touches my cars. Case and point... was just there when an elderly customer brought in an estimate for a "second option " for 1500.00, John told her the repair would be 300. Just goes to show he does what is right. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

My family has been taking our cars/SUVs to John and his crew for over 10 years. The Batavia Tuffys is reliable and honest. No price gouging or unneeded repairs. In fact, John even gave me his opinion when it was time to stop dumping money into our old Sante Fes- which is why we brought the new one to Tuffys and will continue to do so. Thanks John, Joe and team!

What sets John's operation apart from the rest is that his people know how to "fix" problems, and not just "replace them". Over the last year I've had several situation with my truck that I though for sure was going to run me into big bucks. John's honest approach is to figure out if the problem can bie fixed before recommending replacing a lot of parts that don't need to be replaced. You cant ask more from your auto specialist than that !!! Trust is what its all about, and Johns shop has earned my trust and will continue to get my business. Thanks John !!!

I've been going to Tuffy for 18 years with my 5 cars. One vehicle has over 200,000 another 100,000, I consider these Tuffy cars as they've been properly maintained by Tuffy. John & Joe are car guys and their knowledge is amazing. When we moved here 18 years ago I was looking for a place to take "My Baby" and couldn't find a facility that treated my other cars decently until I found Tuffy. Now I bring all my cars there with total confidence, especially "My Baby". Finding a trusted and reliable mechanic is very difficult, I've found mine! Huge shout out to the Batavia Tuffy Team!!!

I have been going to Tuffy for over 5 years. John is always friendly and up front on pricing. He doesn't do any unnecessary work. He will explain what needs to be done and will even show you. I have tried numerous other car places and found John's Tuffy to be the best!

After visits to other places and their failure to correctly diagnose the problem with my car, John at Tuffy had my car and had the solution to the problem. I won't go anywhere else.

We have taken our 2 cars for service since they opened. They do it all for us & they do it right the 1st time. John, Joe, & Todd have all been there from the start. That reliability, consistency, & dependability are a rare find in the car repair industry. That is what puts them head & shoulders of the rest. Well done! Keep it up!

I have been a regular customer at Tuffy in Batavia for many years. John Joe and the team are the best. I was looking to sell my van. After it sat for awhile it developed rust on the break drums. Made an awful sound. They made a quick diagnosis and got me back on the road. Joe was very thorough in his work. As if it was his own car. Thx Guys.

This place was recommended to me by a friend over 6 years ago and I will never go anywhere else to have any work done. They are always able to get you in and take care of your vehicle. John, Joe, and the guys are very nice and professional and they get it done right. I am nothing but pleased every time that I leave this place. Confident that they will be there the next time that I need some work done. I recommend them to everyone that I know. Great honest and helpful bunch of guys!

I came in with what I thought was a alinmate problem. John and Eric checked my tires first. Turned out it was 2 bad tires. They took just 2 minutes to look at something simple. Just by doing that small check saved me alot time and money. THANK YOU for being the upfront and honest men!!!!

This place is amazing. Will never go anywhere else. They treat their customers as they treat their family. It's nice to know that you're not going into a shop that's going to take advantage of you. All they want is what's best for you and your vehicle at the best way how. These guys were amazing will always keep coming back. Set my daughter in for something with her car and she had a great experience at them as well I had to call and thank them because I was so appreciative.

So exceptional it is hard to know where to begin. Being lucky enough to have most our vehicles in the past decade serviced under warranty at a luxury dealership we were in uncharted territory when we bought a used minivan. After putting a ton of miles on it, it dawned us we should have it serviced. We knew going to our normal dealership it would cost an arm and a leg and on a used car it didnt make a lot of sense. I got word of this repair shop and in one visit I was more impressed than a decade of service at a luxury dealership. Everything from easily making a last minute appointment, to being walked through what to expect, to the unbelievable honesty at a time where it would be easy to take advantage of someone. They took apart my brakes initially thinking there was a lot of wear and tear, just to find out they were ok afterall. I will be a customer for life! Absolutely make an appointment you will not be disappointed!!

My family has been a customer of John, Joe and the Tuffy Batavia team since shortly after they opened in 2001. For 17 years they have serviced our cars - and have provided outstanding service for my wife & I and a variety of kid's vehicles. I HIGHLY recommend John and his entire team. They are efficient, honest and true automotive professionals. As we prepare to leave Batavia for a new home, one of my deepest regrets is the loss of a honest and professional automotive shop. John, Joe (and the rest of the team), for all of my family - THANK YOU for 17 years of service. And for being our friends! Tom

WHY would someone do business Solely with the same company for over 12 years? Honesty, Integrity, Trustworthy & Vast Experience. When you are fortunate to find All (not some) of these traits in one particular business who's owner & every person who works there each possess these qualities, not only Do You Stay With Them, you scream it from the mountain tops & share with as many people as you can That's Why.

Driving home on Sunday we heard a noise and our exhaust completely broke under our car. The places we usually go for work were talking about a complete replacement and us paying too much to repair our very old car. We just needed it to run again for those everyday, around town things. I noticed Tuffy had some great online reviews so I decided to give them a try. I called and John said all the right stuff. Kept it simple, which I appreciated. I had the car towed and a couple hours later they had it back to me and for super cheap! I was shocked and so grateful I had a mechanic know my situation and the kind of work I wanted to put into my car and made it work again. I have a new go-to mechanic in Batavia. I encourage you to check out Tuffy.

I have been using Tuffy in Batavia for over ten years. John and Joe are professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and very fair. Whether it's basic maintenance or a major repair, I trust that John and Joe will do the job well and for a competitive price. Look...finding an auto mechanic you can trust isn't a given, but no I can always say, "Hey, I got my guys." They always do great work.

I just got new tires and needed a 4 wheel alignment and was given a coupon for Tuffy's in Batavia. They began work on my 2000 Bonniville immediatly. John informed me I needed further work, (outer tie rods & ft wheel bearings). He ttook his time to explain and when I ask how long to get parts, schedule time, etc. I got an unexpected response. Johntold me the parts were in stock and if I had things to do, gave me a loaner car. When I picked up the car and drove home the difference was phenominal. They earned my repeat business. ~ doug k, aurora

When you have older cars, there will be repairs. BUT, at Tuffy's Batavia, I can assure you it's never for the same thing twice. John & Joe know us for 16 years, 5 different cars. We have always followed the schedule they have provided to stay ahead of repairs. Sometimes, things just go due to age. When they do, John takes us in same day & Joe and his amazing team have us back on the road in 24 hours or less. We are family to them, we're treated as such, I never once doubted their commitment to excellence, their pricing nor their honesty. God Bless you guys and thank you for Always having our back.

I've been taking my car to Tuffy in Batavia for maintenance. In addition to oil changes, they have replaced some parts that make my car run like new again. Everyone looks to find "the car guy" that they can trust to do good work at a fair price. Look no further than Tuffy in Batavia. I will continue to use their services for years to come!

I just started working in Batavia 3 months ago and asked for recommendations of a repair shop in the area. Working more than 60 from home I wanted a repair place I could count on. Tuffy was recommended by co-workers. Yesterday my engine started rattling badly and called John at Tuffy. He not only was able to get my car in he was also able to get it done in time for me to get home. Great communication, great timing, repair done right, could not ask for anything more. Thanks John and crew!!!

I have had a long relationship with this store and John & Joe have always been completely honest and trustworthy. As a single woman, this is not always the case when it comes to vehicles. They have taken the time to explain repairs & maintenance needs every time. Work was done well & in a timely matter-I never had to return to re-do anything. These guys are awesome!

I recently was checking Tuffy's website and entered and won 4 oil changes. My car had not been serviced here before but will from now on. The staff are all very professional and knowledgeable and the prices very reasonable. In fact, I found them to have much better prices than the local competitors. Thank you for the great service!

This place was/is amazing. The service they offer is the best. They are quick at and great at doing their jobs. I like to keep a close eye on my vehicles when someone is working on it. but with tuffy batavia i dont have to worry about them doing anything wrong. they also allow me to watch. Other shops will not allow that. when something was wrong with my car they informed me and gave me a great price and was able to fix it real quick. i hope all tuffy's are like this one. As long as I live in the area i will go to them for anything i need.

My wife Margie and I have been customers here since they opened back in 2001. 3 Words: Exceptional Customer Service. The entire team are The Best at What They Do & They Are 100% Honest. We just had both cars down at the same time. I called yesterday(Friday) they said bring them right over. A lot of maintenance work was needed on both cars. Anywhere else this would have been days to complete, I write this now merely 24 hours later with both cars at home. John, Joe and your entire team, as always Margie & I are sincerely thankful for all that you do and for keeping us safe.

I want to say that I was very impressed with your batavia staff ! I was greated by the manager who explained in detail what the procedure was in getting my brakes inspected and fixed . Joe test drove my car and then pulled it in to inspect . I watched from the waiting room and he was very quick and efficient to bring me the info . Wow within like 10 minutes I had a fair and reasonable price in front of me .. I never really worked on cars growing up. The process was thoroughly explained to me by Joe from the start to finish as to how he was gonna take care of my car and get my brakes safe .. All I can say is wow start to finish In a hour ! I never thought I could get my brakes done on my lunch break ? Thanks Joe for the QUICK and FANTASTIC service ... You have me as CUSTOMER FOR LIFE !

I spoke with Tuffy on the phone last Friday the 21st. The manager was very helpful, kind and generous helping my daughter with her check engine light issue. I discussed with the manager that my daughter just turned 17 on the 21st and her mother and I were divorced and tight on money. the Tuffy team was kind enough to perform the diagnostic test free of charge. Luckily to fix the problem only cost $35.00!! I appreciate everything the staff did for my daughter and I. Thank you very much Tuffy of Batavia!

Just would like to say a HUGE thank you to the Batavia branch Tuffys in Illinois and in particular; the sales manager.

Best experience I have ever had at an auto repair shop. Very pleased with the service and quality! =)
