Mills Automotive

Honest and reliable. They do all types of mechanic work and these guys know what they are doing. They also do towing, plowing, and uhaul. The front office lady is very polite and will even give you a ride home if needed.

We had some issues with my daughters car while taking her to school. Wonderful, quick, and helpful. While not the best location right now due to road construction, Samantha offered to come pick my daughter up when the car was fixed.
Good, honest, and friendly mechanics are worth there weight in gold!

My family and I drove up from Chicago for student orientation at University of Wisconsin — Whitewater. Once I arrived I noticed a rattling sound coming from the back of my car. It sounded pretty bad. I was a bit apprehensive about driving back to Chicago without having it checked out so I plugged in my GPS and Mills Automotive popped up. I took my car in and explained the problem to the owner, Charles. I told him that I was in a rush because my son was going through orientation and I needed to be back in 1 hour. He immediately stopped what he was doing and said «let’s go for a ride». We drove a few miles and he said it was an exhaust shield. He drove it back to the shop, hoisted up the car and showed me where a bolt had rusted through told me that the shield had to be replaced. He strapped the shield to prevent it from rattling and told me to order the part from the dealer (when I got back to Chicago) and have a local repair shop install the shield.
He then lowered the car and told me I shouldn’t have any problems getting home. When I asked him how much? He said «don’t worry about it». His honesty and integrity made my day. I would recommend this shop hands down. These guys know what they are doing. They are honest and trustworthy. Whitewater is fortunate to have them servicing their community.

Knowledgeable, Helpful & Honest
Twas the night before Thanksgiving… and I was driving from Chicago to my aunt’s house in Wisconsin. My car hadn’t been idling right and the check engine light was on. I however braved the two hour drive thinking everything would be okay. I wasn’t but 15 minutes from my destination when my car just wasn’t running right altogether and I couldn’t accelerate. I stopped alongside the road and pulled up Unilocal on my phone. Found these guys under repair and towing, and with a five star rating they had from another reviewer I decided to give them a try.
The owner of the shop (I’m assuming) arrived within 20 minutes and towed my car to the shop. Given that the next day was a holiday they said they’d work on it on Friday morning.
After running diagnostics they first thought that it was the cam sensor (or something like that) and and were going to check on parts. After about another hour they called back to tell me that it wasn’t actually the sensor but that some wires were loose and they would just repair the wire and I could be on my way. For about $ 250 I got the tow, the diagnostics and the repair, not bad at all in my opinion. Turns out that the last guys to work on it (here in Chicago) hadn’t put all the wires back into the necessary harness when they replaced a couple of other sensors just a couple months before. Now, had I had the repair done at the shop who f’d it up in the first place I’m sure my bill would have been much higher as the f-​tard mechanics would have opted to replace the cam sensor.
Thanks to the guys at Mills for being honest and knowledgeable. If you’re ever stranded by the side of the road outside of Whitewater (or just live in the general area) take your automobile here!
