      Good repairs. Reasonably priced. Explained so you can understand. Nice guys. If you are looking for a relationship with mechanics who will get to know your car, and not just an oil change on the fly, call them. They do oil changes too, of course.

      Hands down the best auto repair shop, would recommend to everyone. Our car broke down traveling home to another state and they showed exceptional kindness making sure we got home safely. I've never experienced this level of service before and they truly care about their customers. Rockford community is lucky to have such an amazing business.

      Brought my 2011 truck in for a tuneup and they were amazing! Very honest, super friendly and inexpensive. I doubt go anywhere else.

      Having brought multiple cars in here for service, Boves is hands down one of the most trustworthy, friendly, service oriented auto repair locations in the area. Their staff will do whatever it takes to accommodate you, they are timely in their service and I never question the work they've done on any of my vehicles.

      I have been looking for a fair priced and honest auto repair shop and after seatching and getting ripped off for over 15 years, I found Boves Auto Repair on Yelp, saw they had some good reviews and also they picked up and dropped off our car at no extra charge. I have used them teice for routine maintenance and they are beyond excellent, amazing, friendly, efficient, fair priced, and just all around great. I can't think of 1 bad thing about them. Highly, hugely and definitely recommend you take your vehicle to them next time you need auto work

      Tony and Tim were a god sent!!
      They knew exactly what was wrong with my Tacoma and took care of it in a heartbeat! Our truck's flywheel was a mess!!! We were new to town and didnt know who we could trust! Sooo glad we took the chance with Bove's! Tony knows his stuff and you couldnt meet a more honest guy!
      You are a gem in the Rockford area!! 5 stars ALL the way!!!

      I can't say enough good things about Tony and his team. I've been going to him for the last two years, and now would not take my car anywhere else. They take care of you like family. He has answered my emails while hiking on vacation as well as at 10 pm. Fair and honest prices, and they do great work. My car is too low to get alignment done at his shop, so he even took it somewhere else for me to get it done while I was getting other things taken care of at his shop. Once again, I can't recommend him highly enough. I'm so glad to have found Bove's after moving to the area.

      Expert analysis of issues. Finished on time and for slightly under quoted price. Clean, workmanlike facility. Not the cheapest place in town but excellent quality comes at a price and Tony and his crew do an excellent job.

      Their mechanics are very skilled and they do a thorough inspection of my vehicle every time I take it in for an oil change.

      great service. honest and always think about your needs. they do not try to upsell you. In fact, they will tell you what you DON'T need done and how to save you money meeting the needs of you and your vehicle.
