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.
Reviews for Bartel's Auto Clinic
First time customer, great service. Clear communication. Very fair prices. Would happily use these guys repeatedly for my cars.
They also worked on my 2013 5 series BMW and did an excellent job. I’m of the mind for later model years I’d go to the dealer but for this older car these guys are awesome’

I have been going to this location for years, and not once have I had a bad experience! Everyone is kind and professional, and communication is consistent (love the videos that they send of any issues of concern that they find). Special shout out to Cooper, John and Colton for being patient with me while I debated on how to proceed with big repairs on my older vehicle! I truly appreciate it. I will be back in with my new car for sure!! :)
Willian Benjamin
I originally planned to hold off on a full rating until the work was finished, but they won me over almost immediately. I brought my truck in with a maintenance light on, after a terrible past experience with Firestone, I was naturally cautious.
From the start, the team here was outstanding. They are genuinely friendly, fully transparent, and make the whole visit feel personal rather than transactional. The diagnostic was thorough, and the pricing was more than fair. It is a huge relief to find an honest, reliable shop right near home. Highly recommend them!
