Kankakee Autoplex

"Driven to Repair. Built to Serve."

About Us

At Kankakee Autoplex, our story is rooted in family, hard work, and a genuine love for helping people stay safe on the road. Owner Logan’s journey began years ago, working alongside his father in a small oil change business. It was more than just a job—it was a place where he learned the value of honest service, the satisfaction of solving problems, and the importance of treating every customer like family. That experience sparked a passion that never faded.

When Logan had the chance to open his own shop, he didn’t hesitate. He brought with him the lessons learned from his father and built Kankakee Autoplex with a clear mission: to provide reliable, full-service auto repair with integrity and care. Today, that mission lives on in every service we provide and every customer we welcome.

We offer comprehensive automotive care, from oil changes and alignments to advanced diagnostics, brake work, suspension repairs, and more. Whether you drive a car, truck, or diesel vehicle, our skilled technicians are here to keep it running at its best. We also carry all major tire brands, giving you access to trusted products that fit your vehicle and your budget.

But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to people. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality auto care, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we offer no credit check financing—because getting back on the road shouldn’t come with added stress. We stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we proudly serve every customer who walks through our doors. No one is turned away. Ever.

Kankakee Autoplex is more than a repair shop—it’s a place where trust is built, problems are solved, and people are treated with respect. We’re proud to be part of the Kankakee community, and we look forward to helping you stay safe, confident, and comfortable on the road.

Our Story

Kankakee Autoplex is proud to be a trusted name in automotive care, serving Kankakee, IL and the surrounding communities with reliable, full-service repair and maintenance. Built on a strong foundation of experience and passion, our shop continues a long-standing tradition of quality service that customers have relied on for decades.

The business took on new life in August 2024 when owner Logan expanded from his success with Wilmington Autoplex and acquired Kankakee Autoplex from Jim Roy, formerly known as Roy Brothers Repair. With over 55 years of history behind it, the shop already had a strong reputation rooted in community values and a family-oriented approach. Today, that same spirit lives on, blending legacy with a fresh commitment to modern, high-quality automotive care.

Our story begins even earlier, inspired by a lifelong connection to the industry. Growing up working alongside his father in an oil change business, Logan developed a deep appreciation for the trade and the relationships built through honest work. That passion led him to open his own shop and eventually expand, always guided by the same principles—hard work, integrity, and treating customers like family.

What truly sets Kankakee Autoplex apart is the experience you get when you walk through the door. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, family-like environment where every customer is treated with respect and care. Whether you're coming in for a simple oil change or a major repair, you can expect fair pricing, honest recommendations, and a team that genuinely has your best interest in mind. And yes—there’s always fresh coffee waiting for you.

We believe in providing complete automotive solutions without turning anyone away. From everyday maintenance to more complex repairs, our skilled technicians are committed to keeping your vehicle running safely and efficiently. Our goal is simple: deliver dependable service with a personal touch that keeps you coming back.

At Kankakee Autoplex, it’s more than just auto repair—it’s about building trust, continuing a legacy, and making sure every customer leaves with confidence in their vehicle and the service they received.

Testimonials

On 1/31/2026 Brittany Sartain had this to say:
I brought my 2021 Lincoln Navigator to Court Street Ford due to the AC not working. They told me I needed a new compressor for $4100. I then brought it to Autoplex for a second opinion and was told there were no leaks found and charged the AC for $400. Saved me thousands. Thank you Logan! Highly recommend.
