These are very decent folks - very thorough, knowledgeable and fair. They showed me what was wrong with my 2020 BMW, and even recommended against the high priced service I had thought I would need to do. Robert was exceptional. He explained everything, and has very professional and pleasant in my exchanges with him. I would recommend these guys very highly.

Audi BMW Mercedes Benz Porsche or Volkswagen. These guys are the option you’ll want to choose. Service know how, to the point customer interaction (expect direct answers, no sales here). I’ve been coming here for years and I trust the job gets done right the 1st time. Expensive - yup - you’re not dealing with amateur people playing games.

Overall system check on my 2017 Q7 Audi. Trying to decide to keep it or repair. Very honest feedback. Not looking for repair work - looking at what’s best for customer.

I’ve been a long time customer and have referred friends and family to the shop whenever a car question /issue comes up. Professional partners and a clear process of what’s needed vs what you can expect in the future and roughly when to expect other situations to come up. There is no hard sells and an easy conversation with the managers. I appreciate that they will measure your understanding about cars and speak to you at levels that one can understand. I’ll be with them for life if the management and the mechanic stay in place.

Our family have been customers of Helmut and Vito's since the 80's and they've always delivered excellent service. Most recently I encountered a broken coolant line during the New Year's holiday and had the car towed to Helmut and Vito's. Although they had no advanced warning, they diagnosed the situation on Monday morning and had the issue resolved and the car back on the road within days. If you have a german car that needs expert attention I can't recommend them strongly enough.

If you are looking for an honest, fair auto shop this is the one! These guys go the extra mile to take care of their customers. Even as an AFAB I comfortable there and I know they aren’t trying to pull a fast one on me. The walk you through every expense if you have questions, print detailed breakdowns, and help you with planning for expenses for the next repair by giving you exact cost as long as something new doesn’t pop up. Cannot express enough what a great experience it is at this shop.

Absolutely awful services I would never bring my vehicle here for service. They rip people off, take advantage of unknowing customers, they laugh in your face when you only seek help, they also are incredibly rude. I had to beg them to tell me what was wrong with my car. They spent maybe 5 minutes and just laughed in my face telling me I would have never bought this car. It wasn’t until
I finally got aggressive over the phone that they told me it was throwing codes. Adam was the most unprofessional service writer I’ve dealt with in my entire life. They tried selling me an engine for a cylinder 2 misfire. They also never posted which codes it was throwing to the report. Refused to tell me the issue and made me pay for absolutely horrible service. I shouldn’t be required to beg for them to do what I paid them for. I would stray far away from this business as I’ve read multiple reviews of them doing things like this. Forced me to pay for 5 minutes of their time with zero results on my end. An absolute waste of my time and money.

As always, great service, timely information and upfront evaluation of my car problems. Most repair shops would just say oh yeah, we can fix this problem, but that’s not the case with the employees at Helmut and Vito. They always give upfront opinions as to whether or not to move forward with the repairs. I respect their opinions and always follow their advice. Thanks guys. You are a great bunch to work with.

5 Stars – Honest, Thorough, and Saved Me Thousands

I took my 2013 VW Jetta GLI to Helmut and Vito’s after the dealership told me I urgently needed a full timing chain replacement for over $4,000. I’m so glad I got a second opinion here.

The team at Helmut and Vito’s was incredibly thorough—they ran full diagnostics, checked the timing chain tensioner physically, and even looked up my Carfax to confirm that the timing chain had already been replaced recently (something the dealership completely missed).

It turns out the issue was just the oil control valve, which they replaced for a little over $600. No more noise, no engine lights—problem solved.

These guys are honest, skilled, and clearly care about their customers. I can’t recommend them enough. They saved me from an unnecessary repair and a huge bill. I’ll be coming back here for everything.

I had been fed up with my previous mechanic shotty and over prices work. After doing some research, my wife suggested we try Helmut and Vit's based on their online ratings. We've taken both my 4Runner and my wife's Lexus RX 350 to them now, and couldn't be happier. They do excellent work and are upfront and honest about everything. On multiple occasions I thought work needed to be done, however, upon their diagnostic they informed me that this wasn't the problem, suggested the proper repair, and saved me money!

If you have a luxury car this is the place to take it. They are knowledgeable, stay on top of service needs, they are friendly, timely and not a rip off. I have a 2022 Porsche Macan. Dealer charges $500-$600 for an oil change, H&Js charged less than $200. They also walk through what’s “due” and make recommendations but not pushy, only honest. That’s hundreds in savings … and did I mention (enough) how friendly they are? It’s worth the drive for me and they have WiFi so it’s easy to sit and wait. I am glad I found them.

We needed some work done on our Volvo while we were on vacation, and the after-hours drop off process was very easy and secure. They took great care of our car and Robert, their service writer/manager, communicated with us whenever he had an update and was available whenever we had questions. Their pricing is very fair, too. It feels good to support an independent, locally-owned auto repair shop and we will definitely go to them again in the future!

1st time utilizing H&V’s for my auto needs. My Audi S5 SB needed new rear brakes and rotors. Every person I spoke to was extremely nice & helpful.

I appreciate the excellent service from Helmut and Vito's. Most recently we had to tow my daughter's car to them, as we were unsure of the problem.

We have been taking our cars to Helmut & Vito's for years and have always received excellent service. They have never failed to fix any issue we bring to them and we have never had to return for the same problem twice. Their pricing has always been fair and if they cannot perform a certain service, they are upfront about it and refer us to someone who can. Recently, they helped us get a Mazda Miata running again after being garaged for over 15 years. They provided a detailed quote that itemized all the work that needed to be done and explained which work was mandatory and which was optional. Adam went through the entire quote with us to make sure we understood it. The car has been running great since they worked on it. We love being able to call on them for any car work and trust that they will do it correctly and at a reasonable price without any unnecessary upsells. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mechanic.

Thank you to Tony, Adam and Joe for the great experience, and my car feels better than new!!! I just can’t say enough good things!!!
I needed an alternative to the dealership which I’ve always been loyal towards, but after
a couple of not so great service work appointments I was determined to find a group of professional Mechanical Technicians who take pride and who are passionate in there high quality work, a place can you can trust!!!
I was advised by the dealership that in addition to some normal service and maintenance, I needed some very expensive drive train parts replaced which thankfully for Helmut and Vito’s it turned out not to be true!!!
I saved some hard earned money, found some good people to do business with and I highly recommend you check this place out for your auto maintenance service and repair work!!!

This is the best auto shop I have ever been to. The entire staff is so kind, honest, and reliable. I called them with an emergency and, even with their extremely busy schedule, they fit me right in. I am not car-savvy, so my "emergency" ended up being my own ignorance. But they didn't make me feel stupid. They are so empathetic and understanding. And most importantly- NO UPSELLING. They are amazing. I have recommended them to my entire family and all my friends. Don't second guess it- Adam and Robert will make sure you are well taken care of!!!

Took a Mercedes here for a repair (which sat there for weeks!!!) and had an “ok” experience… Between managers and owner (Robert and Adam) I got spun around but my car eventually got fixed … While I was there picking it up I made an appointment for my other car… I my other car towed there as discussed and was treated very rudely, unprofessional, and left really insulted as I was sure that realized they made a huge mistake… I won’t get into specific details, but if you have a high-end car like a Mercedes, Jaguar, Bentley, or Audi I would strongly advise you take your car and your business elsewhere as they do NOT take it seriously here… I’m sure they’re a great place to have an oil change done, but after reading reviews from others seem to struggle with mechanicals…
Even with the first car they fixed for me, it was “ok” at best… The service writer clearly had no idea how to discuss the cars issues & clearly I was lucky I knew cars… I know know better than to come here and hopefully you now do as well… It looks like the business ownership changed & a sad sign of the times… The new owner “Adam” is very rude and unprofessional, he will try and explain himself and only make the situation worse.

First off, these guys do seem knowledgeable and honest. My low rating is because I don’t feel as though they did their due diligence in determining the repair(s) my car needed. To be fair, I think this was an oversight and not intentional. However, as I am not a mechanic or BMW expert, I expected and would greatly have appreciated them ruling out the $247 additional repair (replacing worn out spark plugs) that seems to have fixed my car BEFORE I agreed to the initial $3,300 repair (replacing AWD transfer case) that did not fix my car. I appreciate them getting my car back in immediately and covering the additional $247 repair, but I don’t feel like that was enough since it is unknown if my car actually needed the $3,300 repair. Unfortunately, this is why I will not take my car to them again.

I liked Helmut and Vito's at first and brought my Mercedes Benz E550 to them on a couple of fixes, however, last time I drove to them when my car's passenger seat got stuck from one end. At first, they told that the seat wires were ripped off under the seat and new seat buckle was required for it to work. Later, they inspected by removing the car seat and told me that the seat track was damaged, and needed replacement. They revised the quote to $ 2.5K for the entire fix. I drove my car in to another store to get their second opinion and found out that their was no issue with the seat-track or seat buckle at all, however, the seat required installation of new electrical plugs that had come off. The whole fix costed me $250.00 (10 times less). I am very disheartened by the insights and quotes made by them. It seemed like they tried to rip me off. I am hoping that they have not ripped me off with all the money that I already spent with them so far.

Recently moved to the area and so glad I found Helmut & Vito's! I have a 2015 A4 with low mileage (25K) that has undergone regular maintenance. Dealer quoted me just shy of $5K for a bunch of stuff that it "needed", then when I pressed them it turns out a lot of it was just "recommended". In any case, I emailed H&Vs and Adam got back to me right away via email and even booked the appointment based on my availability that I included in my original email. Everything was smooth, and every person I interacted with was friendly, professional, and NOT overbearing. I was able to drop my car during off-hours using their drop box, received a quote next day within 2 hours of the place opening, approved it, AND it was done by the end of the day for less than 1/5(!) the price of dealer quote. Amazing. Super friendly staff on pickup, no BS and no pressure to do things that were not required. They made recommendations for things to keep an eye on in the future, and I appreciate that.

I will certainly bring the Audi back here in the future for any required work and my VW Atlas should the need arise.

I could not be more pleased with my Helmut & Vito's experience. Honestly, my Audi is...to put it nicely, a piece of work. From my first popping in to H&V's, I felt confident and comfortable leaving my car with them.
Very honest and straightforward about what was going on with my vehicle. Came back to me under estimate, cleaner than I left it and this may be the first time this devil has run without lights popping up on the dash.
I'm a first-time customer but Adam and Tony made me feel like I've been coming here forever.
You will not go wrong bringing your car to these fine people. Ours easy to see how they have been in business so long.
Keep on keepin' on fellas.
After seeing all positive reviews, I took a chance at this place back in the winter, needing rear shocks and springs on my old 2000 323 BMW. I have to admit, everything worked out great. My car was completed in one day, and they did all the work for a reasonable price. I would definitely use them again. Thank you!

Great place the employees are very helpful and do a great job I had an old Audi A4 2003 and it was always going to the shop for work and they kept it going for years. I now have an 2009 Honda Fit and they have done some work on it simple stuff and it runs great. I have a relative that has gone there for years as well this relative talks highly of this place as well. I was going there when lived in IL and now that I am back in IN I still drive to IL to get work done and check ups on my car. They do work on foreign vehicles as well. Defiantly recommend

I went there today at the recommendation of my boyfriend and next door neighbor. They were helpful, friendly and fixed several problems for 14 dollars. They will be getting all my business from this point forward! Thank you gentlemen!

Their service is always amazing and priced fairly. I take my vehicle only to them. I highly recommend them. It is very rare to find genuine honest vehicle service & this company definitely meets that standard.
Very honest and helpful. Recently I had a warning light come on in my car, they got me in right away, gave me the diagnosis for my car and the gave me an honest answer and guided me to the right decision. They didn't make me feel pressured to use their services which I found very at ease. I have used them several times and their prices were much better than having to go to the dealership for a simple fix.

This team of professionals know their work. They have have helped Cars of Hope perform extensive repairs by getting many vehicles ready to give to Deserving Families over the last three years. Their work has been well done! When we talk to their other customers there are a couple of common statements: They will not go to anyone else and they shy away from making unnecessary repairs!
