The History Behind Helmut and Vito’s Import Specialists.
Integrity, trust and experience are the most important qualities when selecting your automotive repair facility. Helmut and Vito’s Import Specialists opened for business in September 1977. For nearly 50 years we have been the definitive European automotive repair destination in the Chicagoland area. With continual factory training and the latest diagnostic tools, we provide quality repairs and maintenance at affordable prices. We are your dealer alternative. We happily accept all makes and models, foreign or domestic. Whether you drive one of today’s hi-tech vehicles, or their vintage predecessors we’ve got you covered.
Although our founders Helmut and Vito have since retired, our business motto has not changed. “Treat the customer with respect and provide honest and quality work.” Owner Tony Spanovic worked under the “wise ones” since 1996, became a partner in 2008, and is now sole operator of the business.
Our entire staff of ASE and Bosch certified mechanics are committed in using their combined 125 years of extensive expertise to help every driver with their automotive needs and keep their vehicles safe and reliable. Specializing in makes like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Land Rover, Porsche and more, our technicians provide a wide range of services for all European, Asian, and domestic American vehicles.
At Helmut and Vito’s we recognize that a satisfied customer is our best advertisement. Our first time customers quickly become part of our “family.” They choose us for all their auto repair needs and recommend us to their friends and family. Our team of technicians genuinely care about your car and your experience. We look forward to many more great years serving you here in Downers Grove!
