Testimonials

On 4/27/2026 Robyn Gundlach had this to say:
In 2021, I bought my 2017 Corolla used- the seller and I met at Long's to assess the car. Eli didn't charge me a single dime to make sure the car I bought had no issues. I've been coming here ever since for my Winter/Summer checkups. They never overcharge me and never try to sell me more than what I need. I always come in with money in hand telling them money is no object for my 'baby' but even still, they always come through for me with great service and an honest look into my car's current and upcoming needs.

I recommend this shop of any in Champaign/Urbana and any surrounding town honestly. Their service was amazing. Their consideration of my time allowed me to get in quickly, and they even unlocked the office a few minutes early for me so I could make it to my meeting. Highly recommend Longs Garage!! Conveint location too!

I always get great service here. Today I took my vehicle in because of very little heat. They flushed the cooling system and said the heater core was partially blocked. Due to the age of my vehicle, they recommended I put this on the schedule every other year. Awesome job guys.,.

Friendly honest repars. They are always busy but take time to explain repairs

On 9/10/2025 Logan Barrus had this to say:
I have been searching for a great auto place ever since I moved to Champaign. I think I finally found it! The customer service here (I met with Eli) is wonderful, and the integrity of the work is equally so. I didn't even ask for them to change out a brake light, but since they noticed one was out, they did it free of charge. I can't believe how kind these people are. If you're looking for a place you can trust, these are the people.
