Great service as always. Dakota K has been awesome for the 36 years they have serviced my cars. Thanks.

Very knowledgeable & fair

I've been remiss in getting my reviews out here for Bob and Tanela Auto. We have 3 of our cars going there for maintenance now, and I would say that he's done an excellent job each and every time I've been there. Most recently, we had our '99 Odyssey in for a check engine light which needed to be cleared in order to pass the Illinois Emissions test. We replaced the obvious components first, which fixed the problem temporarily, but with the light always coming back on. With time running out to get our car tested, Bob took it upon himself to work on the car until it would pass the test, and then took it in himself to have it done. Bob's been really good about telling us what things need fixing right now, and what things can wait, which is especially important with our older cars, since we don't want to be investing large amounts of money in them. I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but I've been very happy with the service I get from Tanela Auto. In fact, I'm going there again tomorrow. :-)

I recent[y stopped in at Tanela because they advertise auto and truck repair. I own a 1999 dodge 3500 dually, a very heavy truck (7000# E.W.) Bob said he had a lift that would work. They were able to lift truck and replace rear shackles that rusted through, and replace shocks all around. During procedure his tech noticed brake lines that were almost corroded through and a leaky axle seal. Every repair that was not on original repair order was first called into me before work was done and explained thoroughly before proceeding. Repairs were done in a very timely fashion, all called in with progress reports. I have finally found a repair shop that can handle my truck, and is a lot less expensive than having to go to dealer all the time. You have my business for my baby for the rest of its life----many years. Thanks again to all responsible for repairs on my truck Al

Best place to get your car done they do a great job

Would like to thank Bob for a great job his mechanics did on my 13 year old pick up truck. I knew it would need lots of work. New brakes , shocks, transmission flush, extra front end work, and new ABS sensor. Could not believe it was the same truck. It handled like a new vehicle. Well worth the cost of taking it there. Maybe I'll keep it for another 10 years. Thanks again Bob !!!!!!

Thank you Burt and Michael for helping a stranded driver today!

After hearing from a Toyota Dealer on my 2009 Toyota Carolla that my right front ball joint had gone bad as well as contradicting information from 2 different auto mechanics I spoke with Bob who happily inspected my vehicle to later find out nothing was wrong but that I needed new brakes. The brake job was wonderful and I will definitely be bringing my other vehicles/friends/family to Tanela Auto in the near future. Bob and everyone at Tanela Auto Repair are amazing, honest, and extremely genuine individuals. I could not be more pleased with the customer service and exceptional work on my vehicle. My entire family goes to Tanela and I have recommended him to everyone that I know. I even recieved a call a few days later from Bob himself to see how my vehicle was performing... which is something I have never seen from any other auto repair service. Thanks!

I am a car enthusiast and very serious about maintaining my vehicles. I had been going to the same repair facility for years which unfortunately is no longer available. For a while now I have felt like a Nomad wandering and looking for the right, honest, fair & customer oriented repair facility. I now truly believe I have found that establishment. Late on a Friday I discovered my daughter's car leaking coolant. I had been looking over reviews of repair facilities for quite some time and Tanela Auto & Truck Repair really stood out. I called and spoke with Bob and immediately from the conversation I had the right feeling. My daughter really needed her car. Bob enthusiastically said he would look at the car on Saturday morning and would do his best to have the car done on the same day if he could. Immediately I was treated with complete respect. Bob was not just interested in the car he was also interested in me the customer. Bob informed me of the car's problem and I was so impressed by the way he thoroughly showed me the problem and detailed the costs and options. He never tried to force any extras or pressure me whatsoever. Work was done excellently in a timely manner and on a Saturday. Bob is a stand up guy who takes an interest in his customers. Bob personally called me on Monday morning just to check in and make sure that everything was to my satisfaction! Also received a follow up thank you letter as a first time customer showing his appreciation for my business. Never had a repair facility or any business given such personal attention. Going forward I look forward to years of the same great work and customer service from Bob and his staff. I HIGHLY & ENTHUSIASTICALLY recommend Tanela Auto & Truck Repair! Sam R.

The mechanics at Tanela did an excellent job on repairing my O2 sensor on my Toyota! Diagnosis was way cheaper than Midas! Bob also sent me a few 20$ off gift cards towards any future work as a thank you. He went a step further and personally called a week later just to check in and make sure that everything was running smooth! The attention to details and customer service are top notch here, I will definitely be back.
