Our miscellaneous auto services include:

After-Hours Drop Off
Sometimes auto repair needs arise long after most auto repair shops have closed. With after-hours drop off services, you leave your car at the mechanics shop for repair even if the shop has closed. You simply fill out an envelope, put in your keys, and drop it in a drop box. The auto shop will only contact you when your car is ready or when they need additional information. At Gates Repair & Machine, we value your convenience and that is why we offer after-hours drop off services. A completed Drop-Off Form will help the mechanic diagnose any problems. Even if we have closed, you just drop-off your vehicle at our shop and our mechanics will work on it and contact you when it is ready.

Most Extended Warranties Accepted
An extended warranty (also known as a service contract) can provide peace of mind to most car buyers. The warranty (or service contract) kicks in after the usual manufacturer warranty has expired. An extended warranty covers major breakdowns and evens out the cost of repairs. Unfortunately, not all auto repair shops accept extended warranties. At Gates Repair & Machine in Barry, IL 62312, we accept most extended warranties. We let you use the service contract to save on auto repair costs.

On-Site Welding
Welding is the fabrication and sculptural process that joins metal parts. At Gates Repair & Machine, we offer various welding services. Simply give us a call at 217-335-2378 or visit our shop in Barry, IL.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Pre-purchase inspections involve examining the car's condition to ensure it is worth buying.

Pre-purchase inspections will definitely give you peace of mind when you buy your next used car.

Pre-Trip Inspection
