A Legacy of Trust and Excellence
Founded in 1989 by Joe Hale, Hale’s Automotive began as a small two-bay shop and has since grown into a 15,000-square-foot facility serving both personal vehicles and commercial fleets. After a devastating fire in 2013, the current location was built to serve the Marion community better than ever before.
In 2023, Matt Mevert took over Hale’s Automotive and has carried on the strong foundation built by Joe Hale, one rooted in integrity, quality service, and community trust. With the Open House, Mevert and his team are excited to welcome new customers, reconnect with longtime supporters, and showcase what makes Hale’s Automotive a dependable and valued part of the Marion community.
Where Quality Work Meets Genuine Care
Hale’s Automotive provides a wide range of services, including auto and truck repair, heavy-duty diesel repair, fleet maintenance, alignments (including semi-truck alignments), tire sales, brake repair, hybrid service, RV maintenance, and even Illinois State Safety Lane Testing for heavy-duty vehicles and buses.
With a team of ASE Master Technicians, AAA-approved auto repair certification, and a NAPA AutoCare Gold Certification, Hale’s continues to raise the bar for automotive care in Southern Illinois.
All Are Welcome, Let’s Make It a Community Day
Whether you’re a long-time customer or just getting to know the shop, Hale’s encourages everyone, families, fleet managers, and fellow local businesses to stop by, grab a bite, tour the shop, and enjoy the festivities.
