Auto Repair & Vehicle Maintenance Services For DeKalb Area Drivers

Great business and people to work with!!

Had my car towed to Barb City due to an object puncture in the sidewall of my tire. They got the tire ordered and I was back on the road the next day. Awesome service and incredibly friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

Very reliable and trustworthy

Excellent service; very professional! Friendly and personable. They always go above and beyond.

Great service great people.

Great service - as always!

I trust these guys so much. They keep proving how good they are every time I go in. I have a 2013 Elantra. I went in for my regular oil change. The mechanics went to rotate my tires and found my strutt was completely broken. Even though it was late on a Friday, they did everything in their power to get the part over and repair it that day bc it was not safe to drive.

I will never go anywhere else and HIGHLY recommend this shop.

I have brought my car here for the past year and they were suggested from a family member. I have had nothing but excellent experiences with Barb City. I will continue to do business with them for as long as I am in the area!

Great customer service. Very honest. I didn’t feel like they were trying to find issues just to up the bill. Straight forward on finding main issues and fixing them. Will continue to use them for all my automotive issues. Thanks.

I had an issue that was intermittent and difficult to diagnose. The dealer had quoted $1500 to repair the problem. Barb City found the problem and repaired it for less than half of the price. I have found them to always be honest, and very helpful!

These folks are great! Reasonably priced, responsive and competent. A good combination!

Always great work. Thank you

Barb City Auto does a thorough job.

Timely and great service. They got me in and out quickly when I needed it and did it with a smile. Thanks for everything.

They do honest, good work they’re friendly and polite. I only wish they had more discounts.

The oil change comes with a tire rotation, which was really unexpected. Pleasantly so.

Barb City can always be counted on to do only what I need and not more. Fair pricing and friendly service

Great job getting me in so fast. Followed up after service to make sure everything was good. Earned my future business for years to come.

I have had my vehicles serviced and repaired at this facility, and they have always been very helpful and professional. They never try to up sale.

Excellent service; very professional! Friendly and personable. They always go above and beyond.

Professional, knowledgeable and work very hard to get us in to the shop in an emergency.

Repeat customer,and what an awesome experience! Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable They have another long time customer now.

Thanks again.......Ron in Dekalb

Outstanding service and repairs i would highly recommend them to anyone very knowledgeable,friendly and trustworthy

Good honest people. My Volvo is running great thanks guys

I've been here a couple times now and have had excellent service. They get me in right away, and get the work I need done fast. Very reasonable pricing and they seem like an honest company.

Another great job done at Barb City Auto, staff is friendly and proficient, knows the ins and outs of my car and I trust them with the smallest details. I highly recommend..

great neighborhood business...good service...good peoples

Love coming here! They are always friendly and helpful.

Great service - friendly folks. They give accurate, quick, estimates, and do the work you need!

I have always had a good experience. When they identify an issue I know I can trust them to give their honest assessment!

They do good job on your car and they are very reasonable so if something goes wrong with your car give them a chance

I recently brought my car in for new brakes and an oil change. In addition to that, I heard a noise coming from my brakes. Throughout the time my car was being worked on to the moment I picked it

up, all of the work and parts were thoroughly explained and fairly priced. I was impressed by the amount of communication as well. Not only was everyone friendly and kind, but they would respond to my emails and calls so fast! I definitely recommended this dealership if you’re in the area

Came in thinking I had a hole in the muffler and was assuming it was going to cost. But turns out I just need to reconnect some pipes and saved a whole bunch of money. Straight shooters and honest at this place. Was very happy with service.

Not one of the best and most knowledgeable mechanic shops in DeKalb, but THE best and most knowledgeable shops in DeKalb. Thinking John had decided to retire, I tried a few other shops and after every experience in these other shops, I would have additional car problems. Between three of them - two in DeKalb and one in Burlington, they pretty much destroyed my 2002 Ford Explorer. Out of desperation, I returned to Barb City only to find that John had not retired. Now, I am happy, our cars are happy and my son's car is happy.

Save your time and money and go to Barb City - it the long run, your car will be back on the road faster and in the long run, it will cost you less money.

We've been using them for nearly 20 years and couldn't recommend them enough! Good, honest, hardworking people!

I have been going to barb for over a year. Each experience is better than the last. Very knowledgeable excellent service never an unnecessary repair. Costs are always reasonable

1st time customer,and what an awesome experience! Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable They have another long time customer now.

Thanks again.......Ron in Dekalb

The staff at Barb City are always so friendly, and they do a great job! I can tell my car runs much smoother whenever I get my car serviced.

Barb City auto always says it's a good job on my vehicle and that's where I take it and they're honest not like most dealers who will screw you into getting stuff done when you don't need it

Amazing work! Amazing people! Had an emergency heading home from Wisconsin and when I was finally able to inch my car to their shop they took care of me right away and was super affordable! Thanks to the Barb City team!

I moved here from Florida and my car needed to be ready for Illinois weather and Barb City took care of everything with professional courteous and efficient staff. More than satisfied and they are my automotive shop

I highly recommend Barb City Auto to my friends and family. Honest work done for an honest price. John will always tell you what your options are, and I trust him and Bobbie implicitly.

Had a wheel alignment and transmission fluid flush done on a 2016 Chevy Malibu. Very reasonably priced and great service.

It's a great place to have work done on my car, they are very thorough and

efficient. They always are very friendly. They were recommended to me and I am so grateful, and now I recommend them to others.

Love coming here! They are always friendly and helpful.

First visit for service. Friendly, efficient service.

So pleased to support quality local business!

Barb City Automotive does a great job at maintaining my vehicle. They are timely, reasonably priced, and treat you well. I’ll continue to have my vehicles maintain here because they’ve done excellent work.

They’re great! Continue to be very helpful. Great repairs.

Genuine and straight forward to work with, they are punctual and support veterans. I will continue using them.

Great people, you can TRUST your family's life with Quality work they do.

I have a diesel Jetta which has used Moly oil for the last 340000 miles. Barb City stocks the oil and is my new go to service center.

These guys are awesome! Had my truck in because it was pulling to the right( with all new parts)and i could not figure out why they assessed the issue and got it straight! I couldnt be happier with the job they did! Thanks John! We will be back for the a/c soon! Affordable smart trustworthy people! Would give 10 stars if i could!

It's a great place to have work done on my car, they are very thorough and

Flexible schedule. Able to work around my work schedule. Polite service. Fair price. Quick service.

I am extremely impressed with the serivce i have received. I will be going here from now on. Even if its just a smiple oil change. The customer service is amazing and its affordable work.

Always friendly and first class service. Honest, family-owned local business. Been taking my 5 year old vehicle to them for all non-dealer-warrantied maintenance since purchase. They keep up with recommended routine maintenance and without upselling. Easily recommended!

John and Bobbie were awesome! We will never go anywhere else for all our auto repair and maintenance needs. Please post and feel free to use our names. All our best, Mary Petruchius & David Maxwell

My daughter’s 2006 Camry had several issues that needed attention prior to her taking off on a 2K+ mile road trip. The folks at Barb City were awesome! I felt very satisfied with the work they did AND with the price they charged, which I thought was extremely reasonable. I did not feel like they were trying to get as much money out of me as possible by recommending a bunch of unnecessary repairs (which I had experienced at another shop in Dekalb). I would definitely go back again and have no reservations about recommending BC to anyone needing to have automotive work done. Thanks Barb City!!

Previously came here for oil changes & tire rotation, then they informed me that I needed new tire rod ends and an alignment because a tire had irregular wear. Returned for service and they did a fantastic job, going above and beyond to provide another excellent experience and trustworthy service. Thank you to John & the entire team!

Very good customer service and reasonable price. Will always go to them for truck repairs.

I've lived in the area for a year and a half. I was told when I moved here that this was the auto shop to go. After many oil changes and various smaller repairs to my Elantra, I felt I could completely trust this repair shop. They clearly know their business, do right by their customers and are family owned. They care. So, we recently took our 2nd car on its last leg in for the first time to see if they could help. They came through, the Mariner is back out on the road and we didn't break the back despite multiple repairs. Go to this shop if you live in the area. You will undoubtedly feel the same as I do, that you can trust them completely with your vehicle.

They are always courteous and professional and their work is excellent.

They are always honest and up front with any cost before doing the service. They are also very trustworthy. I always go to Barb City Automotive for my repair work.

The only place to take your vehicles. Friendly and quick

Barb City is a place you can trust! Very friendly and great service! I've never had an issue there and they will always give the right and honest maintenance you need.

They fixed my completely damaged brake system and my car drives like a brand new car. Also very kind and communicate well with you about prices and time it’ll take. Thank you guys so much!

The thoroughness of tracking down a problem and the quality of the repair and their attempt to keep costs as low as possible. highly recommended

I have been going to barb for over a year. Each experience is better than the last. Very knowledgeable excellent service never an unnecessary repair. Costs are always reasonable

My first visit to Barb City was pretty good. I only had my car in for an oil change and tire rotation. They were able to get me in and out pretty quick. They did give me a price estimate for rear brakes; stating that they were really low (my car is rear-wheel drive) and gave me an estimate on how much longer I had on the current pads. They were not pushy on the subject; but did remind me the breaks were really low. So for now; I give a solid 4 stars. I’ll update after I get the breaks worked on.

Always the best customer service, Bobby is the best. This is the first garage I’ve been to that I felt like I was getting straight forward, great service at a reasonable cost. This is where I take my vehicles from now on.

Great attention to detail at a fair price. They are always looking at things that. Ay need attention in the future and for your safety.

I appreciated the conversations had with the staff while waiting, the affordable cost of the repairs and the letter that was sent to me a few days after my appointment thanking me for my business. I look forward to supporting their business in the future.

I was in the middle of a cross country road trip when I heard a grinding sound in my front end. I read great reviews of this spot and was close by so I decided to stop by. They were super kind, checked it out right away, addressed the problem (which was a very small, simple, and inexpensive fix) and let me know that my breaks would also need to be done soon but would last the rest of my trip home. They were good, honest folks who I’d highly recommend.
