Welcome to Tilford’s, your local, family-owned premier automotive repair shop proudly serving Boone County since 1987. As a second-generation business, we are committed to providing honest, dependable service with your safety and satisfaction as our top priorities.

Our shop is equipped with the latest diagnostic technology, and our highly trained, certified technicians are here to handle all your automotive needs. Whether you stop in for a quote, call with a question, or just want to check out our shop, you’ll speak directly with a Master Certified Technician—not a receptionist.

Owner Alex Tilford, a second-generation operator, is always available to address concerns, answer questions, or hear about your great experience. At Tilford’s, you’re never just a number—you’re family.

We handle everything from major repairs like engines, transmissions, and rear ends to routine maintenance such as brakes, shocks, wipers, headlights, batteries, and tires. We stock many of these items in-house and professionally install everything we sell.

📞 Call our shop manager, Mike, today to schedule your service:
815-765-9994.

Stop in, enjoy a cup of coffee, ask questions, and see why so many people trust Tilford’s. We’ll always be happy to welcome you.
