About us

Automotive Central is a full service automotive repair facility. We are locally owned and operated here in the Quad Cities, and currently located in East Moline IL. We offer Free Pick and Delivery and Free Shuttle Service. Your car is the second biggest investment you may ever make, unless of course you are looking at college tuition then it’s the third biggest investment. To take care of your transportation does not mean every oil change spending 500.00. I know that may sound crazy coming from an auto repair shop, but it’s true. It’s also true from time to time you will have unexpected expense from auto break downs. I’m sure most of you have experienced a break down at some point, although no one can completely eliminate this from happening; we can greatly reduce the possibility of breakdowns happening. We thoroughly inspect every car every time. I personally will work with you to ensure what needs to be done is done and nothing more.

He called me to let me know what the problem was. He told me what the book estimate was for getting the job done; let me know that he would have to wait a day to get the parts in. And also let me know that he didn't think the book estimate was accurate, he didn't think he would have to put that much labor in and he would only charge me for what he actually did. The original estimate was $660. So he didn't have to do all of the labor that the book said and ended up charging me less. I was very pleased. That was what your review had said and that was my experience. It was great. He provided someone to drive back to my work and then to pick me up when the work was done. I dropped it off Thursday morning and picked it up Friday afternoon. He tries to get it done same day; of course for me, he had to wait for parts to come in. On punctuality, I didn't expect it until the end of the day and it was done by noon. If I was in the area I definitely would use them again.
Description of Work: He replaced the cooling fan.

They suggested services to consider having done and some they recommended waiting on. I ended up paying less than expected.
Description of Work: I was very pleased with the professionalism and personal atmosphere I experience at Whan's Automotive. My car is due again for servicing and I will return.

I highly recommend him. He's a very rare mechanic in that you might have three or four things wrong with your vehicle, but he will tell you what has to be done right now and what could be postponed if you don't have the funds to take care of all of it. He's less worried about money and more worried about taking care of his customers and getting repeat business. I've been using him for about five years.
Description of Work: I got an oil change.
