Teter Automotive has been repairing vehicles since 1962, when NHRA Champion Larry Teter founded the shop. More than 60 years later, we still bring that same attention to detail to every vehicle that comes in. If you need auto repair in Montgomery, IL, our technicians handle everything from oil changes and brakes to engine, transmission, and diesel work. Our background in aftermarket parts supply gives us a deep understanding of how vehicle components fit together. We explain what we find, answer your questions, and fix the problem properly.
We work on American, European, and Asian vehicles, from daily drivers to performance builds, and you will always get a straight answer about what your vehicle needs. Stop by and tell the team what your vehicle has been doing.
From routine maintenance, brakes, and diagnostics to engine building, dyno tuning, and diesel repair, we cover a wide range of work. If your vehicle is making a noise, running poorly, or showing a warning light, our technicians will find the cause and recommend the right repair.
Some shops stick to one kind of vehicle. We don’t, and we welcome weekend project cars too. Our technicians work on domestic, Asian, and European makes, from Honda and Ford to BMW, Porsche, and Land Rover, and our team includes a Mercedes Master Technician. We also build and tune performance engines, with dyno tuning and ECU calibration available. For diesel, we repair light-, medium-, and heavy-duty trucks, including Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke engines, and we service business fleets. If you are not sure whether we can help with your vehicle, just ask.
We back our qualifying repair work with a 1-year/12,000-mile warranty. If a repair covered by the warranty does not hold up, bring the vehicle back and we will make it right. Since every job is different, ask what is covered before you approve the work, and we will go over it with you. We would rather you know the details up front, so questions are welcome. Our Google reviews from local drivers are the best picture of how we treat the people who trust us with their vehicles.
Larger repairs do not always arrive on a convenient schedule. Financing through Sunbit, Affirm, and Klarna may help you spread out the cost. Approval and terms are set by each lender, so ask our team which option might fit your repair.
Yes. Performance work is a big part of what we do, including engine building, ECU calibration, fuel system service, and dyno tuning. If you want auto repair in Montgomery, IL, that goes beyond the basics, we can help with upgrades, tuning, and repairs on modified vehicles as well as stock ones. Tell us what parts are installed and what you want from the vehicle, and we will explain what is realistic before any work starts. Routine maintenance, brakes, and diagnostics are available too, so one shop can handle the whole vehicle.
Yes. We repair diesel trucks of every size, from light-duty pickups to medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and we work on Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke engines. Fuel systems, cooling, electrical, and general repairs are all covered. We also service business fleets, which helps keep work vehicles on the road. If your truck is losing power, smoking, or running rough, bring it in and a technician can find out why. A good diagnosis matters with diesels, because guessing at parts gets expensive fast.
You have a few choices. We offer shuttle rides to help you get where you need to go, and our waiting area has free Wi-Fi if you would rather stay and get some work done. Many repairs can be finished the same day, and our digital vehicle inspections let you see what the technicians found. Larger jobs can take longer, and we will tell you what to expect once we have looked at the vehicle. Tell us which option suits your day when you schedule, and we will plan around it.
Use the Book Appointment button on this page to schedule online, or contact the shop and talk through what your vehicle is doing first. The more you can tell us, such as when a noise happens or when a light comes on, the faster we can find the cause. If you are not sure what you need, describe the symptoms and we will recommend a starting point. Once the repair is done, ask about the 1-year/12,000-mile warranty on qualifying repair work. Questions before you book are always welcome.
