Since 1989, Arndt Automotive has been the premier auto repair shop for customers in Malta, IL, Dekalb, IL, and Rochelle, IL. No appointment is necessary. Arndt Automotive officially opened its doors in February of 1989. It all started when owner Andy Arndt was thirteen years old riding in his Uncle Jim's 1961 Ford Starliner with a balanced and blueprinted 390 and a four on the floor.
Very satisfied with my first experience with Arndt. Knowledgeable service tech listened to my problem and explained steps to fix it. Gave me an estimate with no pressure to get it fixed in a hurry. They kept me advised on the progress of repair status and provided a complimentary loaner vehicle. What impressed me most was the friendliness of staff and nobody tried to sell me something that wasn't needed.

I am completely dissatisfied with this place. I had heard nothing but good things but after taking my car there I will never go there again.
When all was said and done I was charged $875 to replace an alternator. Everyone that I talk to you said I totally got ripped off. And I knew that I did too. I walked in there crying to get my car back. Then two days later I realize that there's a part of my engine in my backseat. They broke it while removing it from my engine.... So just left it off in my backseat?????????????????? I did not go back there to get it put back on because it's about

This shop performed so far below expectations that I would leave a minus rating if I could. I was a first time customer and referred to them by a current FLEET customer so I felt comfortable bringing my vehicle in. All I needed was a diagnostic. Well, to start, my appt. was at 1pm, they didn't even bring my truck in the bay until 2pm. Now mind you, I am waiting in the customer waiting area, and they knew it. As I am waiting, I figured I would take a walk around and look to see if the truck was even being looked at, well, it was, kind of, one tech had to remind the other ( the one " working

I am so thankful for Arndt Automotive, I trust them completely with my vehicle and I am always satisfied with all the work they do! Also, I am so thankful for the loaner cars they offer, as I take care of elderly people and I need a vehicle to get back-and-forth to work. Thanks again Arndt Automotive !

Less than a year ago, I was visiting my then-fiance in the Dekalb area. I had a tire go flat on me the morning I needed to drive back to Peoria to go to work. They worked quickly to get new tires that would work for me on to the wheels despite being extremely busy at the time. I was very grateful.
Fast forward a number of months and I am now married in the area and my wife's car was acting up. Something was rubbing hard in the suspension and estimated cost was something like $800 which I was fine with because I trusted them. We went back to pick up the car and they said it wasn't as bad as suspected

Dropped off truck on Sunday evening. Told they would work on it on Tuesday which I was ok with. They never even worked on it or moved it from where I dropped it off. Finally picked it up on a Friday with nothing done to it. Truck was in same parking spot since Sunday. Poor service. No apologizes. No follow up. We are now scrambling to get it fixed as our son is deployed overseas and is returning to the States soon and wants his truck.

Had 2 vehicles serviced here and was very happy with the quality and the speed at which they handled the repairs and the cost was competitive to other locations until I had a more complicated issue with my 2007 GMC Yukon. On start up, I noticed a smoke(burning oil) coming from tail pipe and then the problem developed to smoke coming from front passenger side hood. Took it in once for this issue and for an evap code(check engine light). A repair was made that did not resolve either issue and they reset the computer to turn off the check engine light(evap code) right when I picked it up with my two

This place is an absolute JOKE! They told my husband at noon to come bring our van down to change a tire to a spare, that no one was ahead of him, they were open. So being in a small town, he goes and instead of switching out the tire that should take all of five minutes, they move the van to the side of the building and proceed to EAT LUNCH! Then when he asks why they weren't changing the tire, they reply, "Well you shouldn't have came during lunch" WHAT!? I specifically asked who it was that said that and then gave the reply and the OWNER said I did and shrugged his shoulder

Arndt Automotive provided excellent service on quick notice when the Check Engine light on our 2018 Dodge Ram 5500 hotshot pickup came on and subsequently broke down in Rochelle, IL. We weren't able to get to a Dodge dealer. Arndt clear the engine codes and perform the automated regeneration needed to get us back on the road. We highly recommend this shop!

My vehicle needed a new transmission. It ended up being in the shop for over a month. I was then told that I needed another part put on. I asked if it was absolutely necessary and they said yes. I talked to someone else the next day and they said that I only needed the additional part for 4wd-so, not needed to drive the vehicle. One of the men answered when I called for an update and he was very rude and used an aggressive tone with me when I asked if I could have a discount for their numerous mistakes. Eventually, my step dad went and talked to them for me and got things sorted out. However, I
