I would give anyone a recommendation for this shop. Fast response, fast repairs and reasonably priced!
Everyone was super friendly right down to the man who picked me up to go get my vehicle when it was ready for pickup.
Can't say enough good things about Tony and his crew at Boves'. Finally found a reliable shop I can trust!!

Went in thinking one repair, but at the end of the day they found a much smaller problem. Very happy with the professionalism they showed. Would definitely recommend all of my friends to Bove's.

Tony and the guys at Boves Auto Repair are the best! I had to get some extensive work done on my car and mentioned I had to go to a concert later that week. They worked hard and had my car ready so I could go to Lollapalooza when I needed my car back. Even a little earlier than expected! As a woman, it's hard to find a good repair shop that isn't trying to rip you off. These guys are fast, friendly, and reasonable! ☺️

Other than great people and service, going to Bove's is like in the scene from Goodfellas where they walk through the kitchen and getting a table upfront. Great, nice people. Known Tony for years through others and Vietnam veterans groups. What a guy, what a place. Always satisfied.

Only shop in Rockford I actually trust to do real work on my cars. Most other places don't really seem to problem solve. These guys will show you pictures and communicate with you, period. That's 100% more than most will ever do. They will also not just simply replace things and see, like too many shops do.

I am so impressed with Tony and his business, I feel like I won the lottery. Many auto repair places take advantage of women and charge way more and find all sorts of other problems that may or may not need to be fixed. Not only is Tony one of the nicest people I’ve dealt with, but he is very patient and explains everything in a way I can understand and does only the work that it needs and prices are very fair. They pick up and deliver my car also which is a big help. I trust Tony completely and my vehicle will never go anyplace else. What a great feeling of relief that I have Tony and Bove’s

I can't say enough good things about Tony and his team. I've been going to him for the last two years, and now would not take my car anywhere else. They take care of you like family. He has answered my emails while hiking on vacation as well as at 10 pm. Fair and honest prices, and they do great work. My car is too low to get alignment done at his shop, so he even took it somewhere else for me to get it done while I was getting other things taken care of at his shop. Once again, I can't recommend him highly enough. I'm so glad to have found Bove's after moving to the area

I went to Bove's for a prepurchase inspection for a used car I was interested in. WOW is all I can say. The service was excellent. Very thorough inspection report along with supporting pictures allowed me to negotiate a great deal with the owner. The service was $110 (great price) and easily netted me $500 in value during negotiations. 400% return on investment that only took an hour of my time. Can't recommend this team and shop more! Thank you so much!

Expert analysis of issues. Finished on time and for slightly under quoted price. Clean, workmanlike facility. Not the cheapest place in town but excellent quality comes at a price and Tony and his crew do an excellent job.

Great service. honest and always think about your needs. they do not try to upsell you. In fact, they will tell you what you DON'T need done and how to save you money meeting the needs of you and your vehicle.

I had a check engine light on my 2008 corolla. I called them and asked them if they could do a quick diagnostic and if needed I could drop my car off another day. When I got there they had the diagnostic test done within two minutes and determined that there was a fuel vapor leak. They gave me a new gas cap and told me to drive around and report if the check engine light returned. They didn't charge me anything for the gas cap. These guys are the best.

The only auto shop that I take my cars. Family owned and a responsible community involved business. They are honest and treat you like family, that's because once you start going there, you become family. Give them a try, you owe it to yourself and especially your car!

"Honest, friendly, and goes above and beyond for its customers." That's how a co-worker of mine described Bove's when she was recommending an auto shop to me: a shop that she advised she had been using for the past 15 years. The verdict: that could not be anything more than the truth! Most professional shop I've ever been too, clean, and amazing customer service from the friendly owner and staff. They're honest and will tell you everything you need to know to make an informed decision on a repair. They want to keep you as a return customer and it shows in the respect

Thanks Bove's for the fast, professional, and reasonably priced service. You certainly go above and beyond in your customer service. It means so much in this day and age of being treated like a number. I will refer you to all my friends. Shelley M. Rockford

With all the phony mechanics who want to to rob you blind, it is nice to know you can trust in Tony. You will always get respectable and honest service, not to mention top notch car and professional repairs. I live in Machesney Park and I do not mind driving downtown to Boves. I have been going there for almost 15yrs. Thanks Boves!
