Marcie Banti
"The staff was so nice and kept me informed about every step of the repair process. I love that they sent me a text that had a detailed report of the inspection with pictures. Prices were reasonable and less than I thought it would be. I will be returning in the future. Thank you."
Eric Emanuel
"I came in to get an alternator replaced and they did an excellent job. The staff was professional, friendly and well informed. They also swapped the battery for free as well since it had also died. They really care about their customers here and this shows through the service and pricing."

A BIT ABOUT US
A FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED BUSINESS SINCE 1958!
Family-owned by three generations of dedicated business owners and mechanics, Bartel's Auto Clinic's history spans over six decades, marking a legacy of automotive excellence and community trust.
The Beginning: A Legacy Founded in 1958
It all began when family patriarch, Robert "Bob" Bartel, started working with his father-in-law at Howard's Standard in Villa Park. Bob, inheriting the business upon his father-in-law's passing, encountered his first major challenge in 1965: a tornado that devastated the original establishment. Showing resilience and entrepreneurial spirit, he reopened in 1966 as Bartel's Auto. Bob's commitment to integrity became the cornerstone of the business, leading to 30 years of sustained growth and success.
Expansion and Growth: The Next Generations
In 1979, the legacy continued with Bob's eldest son, Patrick Bartel, bringing new energy and ideas to the business. Under the shared philosophy of their patriarch, they expanded, opening five more Bartel's Auto locations, reflecting a blend of tradition and innovation.
2004 marked another significant milestone when Patrick's son, Adam Bartel, stepped into the family business. Adam played a pivotal role in launching Bartel's Auto Clinic in Oswego in 2006, further diversifying the family's automotive services. The passing of Bob Bartel in 2011 was a poignant moment, occurring just before the opening of another location in Plainfield—a testament to his enduring legacy.
Continuing the Legacy: Present and Future
The Bartel family's commitment continued to deepen with Amy Bartel joining in 2015. Contributing to marketing and accounting, she formed a strong partnership with Adam. Together, they are set on steering Bartel Enterprises towards a future of continued growth and community service.
