1) Treat you the way you wish to be treated
2) Find a vehicle that you'll love to drive
3) Make it easy to get the information you need to make your decision, and
4) Fit the vehicle comfortably into your budget.
We are happy to serve Paxton, Champaign, Urbana, Danville, Hoopeston, Watseka, Bloomington and Champaign, Ford, Iroquois, and Vermillion counties with new Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac as well as quality used vehicles. We offer a wide selection of vehicles and hope to make the car buying process as quick and hassle free as possible.
If you're in need of financing look no further. We have financing options that will fit your needs and help you purchase that new or used vehicle you've been searching for. We even have a instant online pre-approval tool that will take you less than 60 seconds to get started.

Zero integrity i’m not an unreasonable person. i do not like to complain nor do i like to make a fuss. nine times out of ten, if my food is wrong at a restaurant or i’m not an unreasonable person. i do not like to complain nor do i like to make a fuss. nine times out of ten, if my food is wrong at a restaurant or something wrong happens in a service industry, i don’t say a word. today i went car shopping with my father as i am expecting twins and need a larger vehicle. our first stop was at Shields Auto Center in Paxton. i can appreciate small businesses, i would much rather give my business so smaller business than big corporate places but today, what happened was totally unacceptable. we test drove said vehicle and went inside to talk numbers. after discussing numbers and not being able to reach an agreement, we said our goodbyes and left—no hard feelings. well, not twenty minutes later did we get a phone call from the salesman offering us a deal on the vehicle. we said absolutely, we were eating lunch and we would be back. we get back to the dealership and someone else was test driving the car we had just made a verbal agreement on, and they were also going over the numbers. we were told to wait and “see what happens” with the other individuals. after i made a comment to my father about how this was shady, as we already had a verbal agreement, the sales manager flies out of his office to lecture me on how they were not shady, and he had no idea about our deal that HIS employee had made with us...sure. so, these other individuals made a deal on the car as well and they were the ones purchasing it after we had already made a deal for it. like i said, we are not unreasonable people, and we know car purchasing is a nightmare but this was absolutely unacceptable. zero integrity at Shields Auto Group.

Easy no pressure car buying Shields Auto Mart has always treated our family as if we matter. We were looking for a specific vehicle and Pete Klein stayed in touch and was able t Shields Auto Mart has always treated our family as if we matter. We were looking for a specific vehicle and Pete Klein stayed in touch and was able to find the suv we wanted. Pete and Butch Smith were professional, but yet warm and caring thru out the process. We received the vehicle we wanted and they made sure we received the lowest interest rate available. We couldn't ask for a better experience than what we received in purchasing a vehicle. More

What an experiance. I have done bissness with Shields for years, but this is my first time In buying a truck from them. Rich Heintz helped me in the persuite of findind m I have done bissness with Shields for years, but this is my first time In buying a truck from them. Rich Heintz helped me in the persuite of findind my dream truck and getting the best monthly payment possible. Both Rich Heintz and Rick Ingold showed me around the place and introduced me to every body that will be there to help me out with what ever I need. I would never have found my truck or even understood all of the ins and outs of my new truck without the learned help of Rich. Rich made everthing possible for this sale to happen including workiing on his day off to get my new ready for deleavery. Thankyou Rich for everything! More
