It has a good repair service and maybe that is why a bit more expensive than the other repair services. When I call in for an appointment, they have already many work to finish so that I have to wait. I waited for about a week.
They soon checked out what is wrong with my car and fixed it well. When I drove it back home, the next day a little warning light was enlighten. It made me nervous. But finally it showed up something wet from the rain, and after dried up it turned off. :)

Best Buy in general is an OK place to shop for simple things like DVD's and CD's. However, when one goes in with the intent of purchasing an electronic product, they must be prepared to deal with shady sales tactics and high-pressure sales pitches for all of the extras. And be prepared to do your own investigating! I went into this particular Best Buy to purchase a desktop computer. I did not need a monitor, keyboard or mouse, I just needed the desktop PC unit itself. I found a great deal on a CPU that had great specs. I tracked down a sales rep who wasn't actively attempting to help anyone, despite the hoards of people milling around and pointed to him which unit I wanted. He gave me the spiel about accessories to go with – monitor, keyboard, etc., as well as some software special that was currently being promoted. I politely declined everything, emphasizing that I just want the CPU. He went off to look for it and returned a few minutes later – bummer, they're all out of stock! I was really interested in that model only, so I thanked him and began walking toward another section of the store when I saw 6 boxes of the CPU model I had my eye on sitting right there on the shelf at the end of the aisle. I went back to confront him about it and he faked a puzzled look and said "oh hehe. The computer said we were out of stock." Oh, sounds to me like someone wasn't going to make much commission off of me, so he didn't want to sell me the product. I went across the street to a competitor and purchased the same CPU for $30 extra, but that $30 was worth it for the service

Vibez used to be the car audio department of Good Vibes. The manager of the department bought it out and is now running it as his own small business. When I was working at a car dealership in Champaign this is where we brought all of our remote start and CD player/DVD player installs, and I'm talking 40+ per month. We never had a problem getting one done as long as we scheduled in advance. Prices were very reasonable, too.

I worked at this store from 2002-2005. We had a number of different problems stemming from changes in management when I started; by the time we got all of that sorted out it was the middle of 2003, which is when Ryan Gremore's tenure over the store really got started. Ryan is far and away the best car guy I have ever known, and he was a good boss, too. Employee morale was high and customer satisfaction was even higher.
Ryan left for the O'Brien store in Normal in January of 2005, and the store went completely downhill from there. The new manager had a completely different philosophy that focused much more on gouging customers than on customer satisfaction. I left when he took over.
He is now on his way out, however, and the next guy coming in is excellent. It remains to be seen how he'll do (he doesn't start till next month) but I have high hopes.
Go see Terry Twitchell if you are interested in a Mitsubishi, Hyundai, or Kia. They don't sell Isuzu anymore.

I bought my bike at Sportland, but the prices there for service were just ridiculous. After a bit of asking around I found IRE motorcycle on Neil st. They did my valve lash adjustment for $250, less than half of what Sportland wanted. Their prices for accessories (helmets, gloves, and jackets especially) are low as well.

I'll admit usually when I realize my car needs washing I'm at the gas station and the easiest thing to do is just get a wash there. Then I spend the next few weeks glaring at the spot on my window that you would think would have been reached during the wash but strangely wasn't. Then I break down and go to Marketview. They are a semi-automatic wash, in that the workers will spray down your car first with a high-pressure hose making sure to concentrate on obvious spots, like that one on your window. Then they'll send your car through the automatic wash. Once you're out more workers will come and dry down your windows so you don't have any streaks happening from those last few water droplets running down. They are a little out of the way, between the mall and upper Prospect. And they are a little more expensive than the average gas station wash, wit $7.00 for a basic wash and $15.00 for the deluxe. But I've honestly never had a better car wash in town than the $7.00 option here. And the workers are incredibly friendly. Go support the out of the way place!

We just bought a used car from United Car Center and they allowed us to take the car for four hours so that our mechanic could look it over for us. They also let us take it home for the night and come back in the morning to sign papers. Great experience!

I worked for a car dealership in Champaign for a number of years, and Brad at Res-Q-Me was the guy who did ALL of our paint work. He'd come in once a week and fix the dings, scratches, rock chips, etc, that you find on cars that have been traded in. Even when he was working in a dusty corner building on our lot, his work was good--and when he was working in a paint booth in his shop, he was excellent. Great work at a great price.

It has a good reputation in town but apparently it is because we don't have many choices here. Actually we have many shops here but most of them are not good. It takes two weeks to have my car fixed but I was told that was considered as "quick." My friend had a bad experience with them so she prefered to drove 3 hours back to her hometown to get the car fixed.
