The RHF Truck and Automotive story is simple: keep our neighbors on the road with safe, reliable service they can count on. Based in Shipman, IL, we are your local, hometown repair shop built on a foundation of trust and fairness. We understand the roads—and the people— who drive them. Our automotive service, which includes car maintenance and heavy-duty truck maintenance, is to provide comprehensive vehicle maintenance that respects your time and your budget.
“I started RHF with a simple idea: give people a shop where they won’t get taken advantage of. I’ve seen too many customers get overcharged or brushed off just because they didn’t speak the same language as the technician. Here, we break it down for you, treat your time with respect, and stand by our work. That’s what this community deserves.”
