My husband and I keep a fleet of mechanic-killers...two Lincoln parts-hogs (7 and 12 years old), a Chevy truck that has outlived its first chassis, and three antique British roadsters that would like to be hangar queens if allowed. We take reasonable care of our vehicles, but we also work them pretty hard. They need a fair amount of attention to keep them road safe and reliable. Karen and her crew keep these contraptions running, get us in and out of the shop with amazing turn around time, and never flinch when we beg to be wedged into an already packed schedule. They are versatile and up-to-date, tackling computerized fuel injector engines and dual carb 4-bangers with equal aplomb. Somehow they manage to find parts for Triumphs that haven't been in production for 30 and 40 years. They have gone above and beyond the normal range of service, even accepting delivery of an aluminum trailer erector set and assembling it for us, including custom work to fit a motorcycle cage on the deck. There is no business or professional service in Carbondale that can boast a more honest, hard-working, cooperative interface with its customers. If Ms. Greenburg goes out of the automotive repair businesss, I am going back to riding a bicycle!

It took me three times to finally get my tires aligned and all three times I actually had a reservation. They do good work , and the owner gave me a $5 discount for the trouble , but when you make a reservation you have to keep it. They are equipped well enough but not with the latest and automated equipment. Very quick , all it took was about 2 hours to get all 4 of my wheels aligned and a minor tune up work. Make a reservation as they are very busy.
PROS: Quick and fair priced
CONS: Dont keep track of reservations

For the south and a college town you would think they would cater to us and offer some nice affordible vehicles for sale- but they usually don't. Most of the cars are like $20,000 and they couldn't even help me locate my desired vehicle. I think I would reccommend anything but this place. One of the few import dealers in the area so you are stuck.

Trust me, there are not many good import shops in the southern Illinois region, and this place is a pretty safe bet. The repair shop in the back is filled with reliable but moderatly priced service technitions that did a pretty good paint job on my Accord. This is an area referred to as a "college town" but suprisingly not a huge selection of less expensive vehicles.

While I didn't buy my car from Ike, I take my 97 Honda Civic there for repairs and maintenance. They have been very reliable and do great work.

I bought a car from this place a few years ago and purchased an extended warranty. Three years later, my door handle broke off (on the inside) and the handle to open the glove box broke too. They fixed the door but said the honor did not cover the glove box. The warranty should have covered all interior defects! I am not pleased with their service.
Also, 2 months after I bought the car, the shifter frequently got stuck in park. I finally took it in to them and they accused me of spilling soda on it and that's what made it stick! I do not even drink water in my car, let alone soda! They tried to charge me $125 to fix it, but after much negotiation, they applied the warranty to it. Do not go here to buy a car!!!!
