About Thomas Garage

Looking for a quality mechanic who can do more than just tell you they don't want to do the work? Come to Thomas Garage. We specialize in providing fair and honest work, fixing the problems others won't.

Thomas Garage is one of the auto repair shops listed in Springfield, Illinois. The business is registered at 4200 Rodger St, Springfield, IL 62703; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip. Google also lists it under brake shop, car repair and maintenance service, oil change service, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

Auto repair in the United States is split between independent shops, dealership service departments and national chains. Independents handle most routine work (oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, check-engine diagnostics) at lower labor rates and often specialize in one make or in imports; dealers keep factory tools, software and warranty authority; chains sell speed and standard pricing on maintenance items. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and quote parts and labor separately. Certification matters: look for ASE-certified technicians and, in many states, a state repair license posted at the counter. Written estimates are required by law in most states before work begins, and you are entitled to your old parts if you ask.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 8 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Springfield is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Springfield follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

We brought our Jeep due to a few things not working. He replaced a part and it still wasn't right. He kept searching until he found the issue and got it fixed! We had to wait a couple days on the part otherwise it was a pretty quick process. Thanks so much for your professionalism!

Junk yard shop. All I needed was a clutch install. Picked the car up after 2 weeks the first time they said it was done and it didnt want to start, reverse wasnt working and car was making horrible noises. I couldnt believe they thought it was good to go? They told me it was a faulty part so I ordered the new part and spent another $300 for that install. Waited another week, came to pick the car up the second time and it wasn't any better. Not to mention they dropped my car on the lift and dented my side skirt and it wasn't there the first time i came to get it. I've been around the car industry my whole life and this by far was my worst experience. All said and done I ended up spending $1500 for my car to be dented and immediately had to go to another shop and be torn apart. Nothing was adjusted, no lubricant in crucial metal on metal spots. Price wouldnt of been an issue if it was done correctly. The clutch was just thrown in the car. No communication while the job was being done, only when it was "ready to be picked up". If you care for or value your vehicle at all, find another shop.

Brent kept my car from July 2025 to April 2026 after failing to repair my head gasket 2 times under warranty. He has kept the car for so long that my warranty FOR THE HEAD GASKET and LABOR he sold me is about to expire. have been going to Thomas Garage for about 3 years and up until this point they had been great always on time and kept me up to date. That was until recently. LAST YEAR in July of 2025 my car overheated. The head gasket blew and had to get it replaced. After Brent had my car for 3 weeks I finally got it back and It failed again within a month. But it was under warranty so we're good right? Wrong After a few MONTHs I got my car back in early December and it overheated AGAIN before I even got home. So I again had to take it back. Brent kept my car from July 2025 to April 2026. During this time he gave me excuse after excuse as to why it was taking so long. Tori and Brent ignored my texts , calls and messages on multiple occasions. Not once did they ever return a call. On top of this my heat no longer works (which he previously fixed as well), but he has again kept my car so long I'm now out of warranty for the heater core, the coil packs they said they also fixed

They did great work and within a reasonable amount of time. They also let me bring in my own parts so they will not issue a warranty if you bring in your own Parts which will say right on the invoice. They also did not go and waste after budget on a fancy showroom

Brent and Tory have not only a great vehicle repair facility, but they are truly honest and wonderful people. I now call them friends after knowing them. They have worked on many of the fleet vehicles I was in-charge of in the past as well as my own. Brent is extremely knowledgeable, what I would call a true old-time mechanic who would know it all regarding vehicle repair. I have recommended them to friends/neighbors/acquaintances and strangers and have heard back nothing but positive reviews. I do a lot of my own vehicle work, but if it is beyond my skill level the first call is to Brent and Tory. I will guarantee you the people who leave less than five stars are not telling the whole story and are probably fibbing just a bit. Sometimes one just cannot please a person no matter what they do. I rarely trust a dealership's mechanics as they are now 'technicians' not true old school mechanics. Brent is that old school extremely knowledgeable mechanic. Plus, their prices are very reasonable.
