Antique & Muscle Car Repairs | John's Auto Service

Antique and classic car repair at John's Auto Service in Frankfort, IL

From Model A’s to Mustangs: Trust your classics to us

While we love servicing your daily drivers, there’s nothing quite like repairing or restoring a much beloved muscle car or antique automobile. At John’s Auto Service, we truly service all makes and models–and ages. When we were at our Homewood location, we were always on hand for the annual Dixie Drive, which goes right through Homewood, to help out any Model A owners who had car trouble.

Which Classic or Antique Cars Do You Work On?

We have customers with Model A’s, and we have clients with muscle car classics from the 60s and 70s–Olds Cutlasses, Chevy Camaros, Pontiac GTOs. And of course, Mustangs. No matter what the age or make of your vehicle, we can help you keep your classic or antique car on the road for many more years to come.

What Services Do You Offer for Classic and Antique Cars?

The services we perform on antique, classic and muscle cars are very similar to what we offer for late-model cars:

Brakes
Carburetor Rebuilds
Engine Repairs
Engine Performance
Engine Tune-ups
Maintenance
Steering
Suspension

Although we do not install new tires, balance wheels or perform wheel alignments, we can look at your tires and advise you based on what we see.

Why Should I Choose John’s Auto Service to Take Care of My Classic or Antique Car?

How many auto technicians today know how to rebuild a carburetor? We know one — John! We have three local repair shops who send their carburetor rebuilds to us.

In addition, we are a family of classic car enthusiasts:

My wife still has her first car–a 1966 Ford Mustang, which we have restored and show throughout the summer.
I bought my first Mustang when I was 15 years old, and my Mustang now is a 1969 Mach 1, which we fully restored.
We’re in the process of restoring Johnny’s 1970 Mach 1 Mustang.
We’ve also restored Johnny’s 1964 GMC C-10 pickup, which has a custom-built wooden bed.

As members of the Frankfort Car Club, you can usually find us at the weekly Cruise Nights on Thursdays. We also hit the Northern Illinois Mustang Club’s big show in Bourbonnais every year.

And as a NAPA AutoCare Center, we offer a 2-year / 24,000-mile nationwide warranty. You’ll have the peace of mind of knowing you’re protected, whether you’re heading to a car show off I-57 or taking a leisurely cross-country trip on Route 66.

Words from Our Clients

Doug B., Rosemont

"Even when we were very young, he was always working on cars. I knew he was going to be a quality mechanic. For years, I've brought my vehicle to him and referred friends and family because he'll do great work at a fair price. Everything is done in a timely manner and done with professionalism, and it's quality work."

Amanda & Gideon N., Joliet

"We come here because he does good work. You know you're not going to get ripped off. They offer fast service. They're always friendly. They let you know exactly what is wrong with your car. We understand what's going on and how to approach it and how to plan for maintenance on the car."

Tom G., Frankfort

"It's refreshing to do business with an honest shop. I don't have my vehicle serviced anywhere else. I trust John 100 percent. That's why he's doing so well in his business. Integrity and honesty."

Rich J., Tinley Park

"I've sent a lot of my friends here. When I refer them to John, I know he's going to give them an honest answer. I sent one friend here who was charged $2,500 at a dealer, but he was still having the same problem. The work wasn't done right. John took a look at it, documented it, showed him what the dealer had done, and fixed it for $700. It's running great now."

Kelly M., Mokena

"Hands down, they're very knowledgeable. They go above and beyond. They're very dependable, very honest. No job is too difficult for them to figure out. I had a car with a dealer warranty issue. The dealer couldn't figure it out. John figured it out."

Bob K., Frankfort

"One feature that's best about John is the trust factor. You have peace of mind. I trust John implicitly with anything he does, and he won't do anything that doesn't need to be done. And that's not just for my car, but my family's cars. My wife and kids bring their cars to John. He gets them repaired quickly and back to us, and that's important."
