2017 Volkswagen Jetta. Cold air intake fell off driving to work one morning, called two shops and they wouldn t even look at it. Called sipes and he said stop on by after work to take a look at it. After looking for a few minutes at parts and wait times we ended up going with a custom made setup and to be honest it looks fantastic. He got me in the next day no questions asked and parts were ready for me when I showed up. In and out under an hour. Honest business man and local shop. Can t recommend enough. Will definitely be back.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Dave is a blessing to the community. He charges a fair price and does great work, especially in today's economy. He provides all the details and options for the work on my car and my wife's car. I got my brakes done and he used my parts that were under warranty saving me money. He also fixed a clicking sound that I heard every time I turned left. For my wife's Dodge Journey, he fixed a interior light issue by finding a severed wire. This is the only place we will go to have our cars serviced. Thanks Dave!!!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Dave runs a very professional business that is fairly priced and does work that you can trust is done right. You can also trust what he tells you is the truth and in your best interest, not to make a quick buck like other shops. I would send my own mother there to have work done.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Steering & suspension replacement, Engine repair, Brakes, Auto brake replacement, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Steering & suspension replacement, Engine repair, Brakes, Auto brake replacement, Oil change

I mean this: best mechanic experience I ve had in my life. I was driving across the country from Montana in a 1997 F150 when it started to choke on the highway when I d accelerate. I pulled off the highway into town, and into Sipe s, at 3:00 on a Friday. The bigger auto place in town told me they couldn t help me until Tuesday, but the guys at Sipe s came out and immediately got to work.They tried a couple things with the vacuum system, and it seemed to work (replaced a tube that had worn out). But then they drove it a couple miles and realized that hadn t been the issue. They tried several other things that could be leading to it before finding rust in the gas turns out the inside of the tank had rusted, and the filter was getting clogged with that rust when the fuel got low. They replaced the filter and told me I d need to replace the tank but then they gave me thorough advice on how I could drive it back home to Pittsburgh without having to stay around to get a fuel tank there. Even gave me a suggested alternate route to avoid Chicago in case any other issues came up.Then, they only charged me for the fuel pump and one person s time, even though a couple people had come out and helped for a big chunk of it. They were super friendly, efficient, clear, honest, and great. Good people and good mechanics. If I could give a 6th star, I would.Service: Engine repair

If you want top notch service at a fair price from honest people then go see Dave and the crew at Sipes the next time your vehicle needs a repair or service.I have been using them for many years and they have always taken good care of me and my family.

I took my wife's 2007 Hyundai Sonata in for new fuel lines. Dave took very good care of me. He did quality work using quality parts to complete the job at a good price. I plan to take all my repair business to him.

We stopped in from out of town for an emergency repair, we had issues with the wiring for the battery. Dan immediately came out and assisted us, he got our car up and running in less than 5 minutes. He is an absolute blessing we wouldn t be on the road without him.Services: Electrical, BatteryServices: Electrical, Battery

Dave is fair and really good at what he does. There is a reason there is a wait to get your car in. Best auto repair shop I have ever used. Had issues with the air-suspension on my 13 Jeep Grand Cherokee and he gave me options on how to address it and literally saved me thousands of dollars in the process.

I live in Rockford and this is the only place I take my car!! Dave Sipes is very personable and you can genuinely tell that he cares about you as a customer and not just the dollars that he'll make from have another car repair. Every time I go, if I ask him what he did, he'll tell me in plain language that anyone can understand and not just technical jargon. He is very honest and straight forward and will tell you if there problem isn't worth tackling because of cost. He's very capable and gets the job done right.

Honestly, it's hard to find a mechanic that you can trust. Dave the owner works incredibly hard, and he is an excellent mechanic, we only take our vehicles to him because we know it'll be fixed and our bill won't break the bank. Thank you Dave for just being you... you're our go to guy and we appreciate all of your work and friendship

Had a great experience with Sipe's when I needed my engine replaced. I dropped the car off on Sunday while they were closed. On Monday, they removed the old engine but unfortunately I could not deliver the new engine until Tuesday morning. Wednesday morning at 8am they called to tell me that the job was done! The guys did a great job and the bill was more than reasonable. I own a service business myself and will definitely be bringing all of our trucks there in the future.

I live in Rockford but take my vehicle here due to the outstanding service and honest. A caveat, they are so busy, you usually need to book an appointment a week in advance. My anti-skid was not working, and my former mechanic changed the module twice, which did not fix it. Took it here, and right away they found chaffed wiring. They told me instead of replacing the harness which would be expensive, the could just run new wiring which was very inexpensive. Another time they adjusted my headlights, and needed to replace a broken bracket, I informed them that there were no parts on the invoice, only labor. The reply was, I happened to have one laying around in the shop. Superlatively recommended.

This is the first auto repair shop where I actually felt like my business was appreciated. They were up front, honest, and fair, not to mention fast and friendly! I would definitely recommend Sipe's auto.

I just posted POSITIVE FEEDBACK on one other page about Sipe s Auto Repair in Belvidere! Last week, the engine light popped on, and I was terrified my car would stop running. However, when I called Dave Sipe, the owner, he was helpful & reassured me enough, stating that all would be fine, until I could schedule an opening appointment with him in his BUSY repair shop!Just yesterday, I brought my Chevy Cruze in & Dave checked out all my car repair requests (the squealing brakes & slow acceleration when going up an incline). Oh, and that Engine Light indicator? It went OFF a few days before I brought my car in for repairs. Only late yesterday, I learned that Dave drove my car & didn t feel Repairs of any sort were a necessity! Bottomline, the Icing on the cake was to learn that Sipe s offers FREE estimates! With all of the work that potentially could have been involved, getting a FREE estimate, was well worth it......and, based upon Dave Sipe s honesty, I will, from this day forward, highly recommend this place of business! Though, I don t want any further repair needs, if and when they do occur, I will gladly drop off my car to Dave Sipe s Auto Repair, located on 2nd St, just off Genoa Road & (1) block south of Logan in Belvidere.Mary Thillens
