“Let's go back in time a bit...
The tire on the front right passenger side started to get low. I let it go for awhile as the PSI shown in my car was not that bad. Then, after a week or so, my car started to show the tire having a lower psi for that one tire.
Flash forward to this week. I ran an errand and noticed the list on my car and checked the PSI and it was low. My car was sliding a bit in the rain. It was late morning and I knew I needed to get my car to a tire store. My go to is Discount Tire. I looked up the closest location and it was in the opposite direction. I wasn't turning around. Then I remembered the new Belle Tire location that was on my way home.
So I arrived and figured I'd have to wait awhile for my car.
As tire stores do, they tried to get me to replace all four of my tires and if I wasn't going for that, then I should at least replace the other front tire. Nope. My other tires are in good shape. There is no way I'm replacing good tires.
So they had a tire that was close to the same type of tread as my other three tires.
Bob was nice about it and I knew he had to try the upsell. It's the song and dance of the tire store.
The lobby area (check-in, wait area, etc.) is huge. There is no need for such a large open area unless they have regular cocktail parties and networking events held there. I think the design is from a bygone time when they had all the tires stacked in the showroom and now it's all online. Regardless, the area is nice and clean.
You know what else was clean? The service area. Granted, it's a new facility, but it was pretty darn clean.
Bob told me that they are busy and would be able to look at my car in a couple hours, so I decided to wait there. He said they have coffee and water and some snacks while I wait. The waiting area is a section of the huge front area of Belle Tire. There are several black, leather-ish comfy chairs in a half-square L-shape layout facing two large flat screen televisions. One TV was airing Road Rage shows on A&E's Crime and Law series (which was hilarious to watch given where I and another customer were waiting) and the other screen had a running list of customers and times they were to be taken care of and where in the process their vehicles were.
After about an hour, my car was ready. About an hour before I was told they would even be able to look at it. And then I was on my way. My car exactly the way I turned it over to them, albeit with a new tire.
It was a great experience and I will definitely return.
And the tire, it wasn't too expensive.”
“The guys are great. They are professionals in their field??. There was a big puncture, but they did everything beautifully. The wheel holds up perfectly. I recommend them, the prices are excellent and depend on the severity of the problem. Guaranteed quality. 40?done ✅”

“MBS Automotive is the only place we service our vehicles. Mike is fair and flexible. We are confident that we are getting accurate information that is in our best interest. Highly recommend”
“Adam and his colleagues at Duxler helped me out with an oil change and found a nail in the tire. They are close to work and had me up and running in no time. In my past I have trouble trusting mechanics but this place has gained my trust and confidence. Thanks Adam!”
“I wish I would have written this review sooner because I cannot compliment enough on the level of care, customer service and class that this Just Tires has provided me and my family for over 2 decades. We have had everything done at this place: tires, struts, oil changes, brakes, ailments, you name it. None of these things has EVER failed us. Vince, Tim and Fabian are the best in the business. I know im failing to mention the other gentlemen in the shop and that have helped us (please forgive me), but whenever I have had a problem or needed something these 3 men were on top of it like I was their sibling. I mean it, they are THE best in the business, treat you like family, are friendly, fair, honest, class acts and actually care about you along with your purchase. If it means anything, I drive from the city of Chicago just to get my work done by them because theyre that professional.
Just Tires, if you're reading this, you need to give EVERYONE at this shop a FAT raise because they are worth their weight in gold.
Go see them!!!!”
“Great communication. Friendly respectful. Fixed our vehicle. Very helpful instructions at the window and clear information on the bill.prioritize old car needs. Not pushy.”
“Favorite local spot for my car. They ALWAYS do a great job, are super friendly, and communicate throughout the day while work is being done. Have been taking my car for winter/summer tire exchange and storage for years and it’s always great.”
“It’s a bit far from my home but I always come to this location because of the staff and communication they offer. As soon as I pulled in I was greeted and welcomed. The wait was a bit long but I understand. George was extremely wonderful and kept me updated on the status of my vehicle which was really nice. Overall you have a great, kind and respectful staff.
Thank you George for being so helpful and nice ?”
“Leo was able to order the tire I needed overnight and install it the next day. The service was great. They also aligned my tires, although I had to come back the following day because the alignment tech wasn’t there when they installed my new tire.”
“Why haven't I found this place before... Lee was exceptional !! Knowledgeable beyond belief.. I highly recommend this place ... honestly the best tire service experience I have ever had !!!”
“I brought my car in to Auto Lab for an oil change. As part of their inspection, they recommended new tires (car had 40k miles) and provided a quote. I brought the car back a month later and they changed the tires at the quoted price. Altogether, I found Auto Lab to be transparent, honest, and professional. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good car care company.”
“This place is known by many for good quality of service. I usually do not give five star reviews, but they stand by the work.
Update, since the take over of Mike and Candy, things are still top par.”
“I highly recommend this place! They do oil changes and other services quickly and with great quality.
Especially recommended for BMW owners — these guys really know what they’re doing!”
“I recently took my car in and was greeted and helped by Zach and my experience was fantastic! I’m not really a car person and he made things easy for me. Plus the work was completed fast and my car drove way better. I will be back to this location on the account of the service and the employee I worked with great experience!!”
“I’ve been to this shop several times with both a cargo van and an SUV. They treat customers very professionally and in a friendly manner. I recommend this shop to everyone — let’s support small businesses”
“They took me in last minute and were able to do all repairs needed. Chris in Arlington Heights was very helpful and very accommodating. Would recommend them to anyone.”
“I've been fortunate to have Sunset work on several of our cars, we've always been very happy when we got them back! The repairs are perfect and the maintenance well done. This time I had body work done when I had a run in with the garage and it won! We won't go anywhere else, ever.
On top of the great work I was given a ride to and from the shop when I had no other way to get there.
Christopher is upbeat, friendly and very fair, the men who work in the shop are highly trained and very personable.
I assure you, you are in very capable hands.”

“I’ve been taking my cars to be service at Lindberg Auto for a few years now and they do a great job in fixing any issue the cars have.
Their prices are competitive and the owner, Doug, always gives me an honest opinion about what was repaired and recommendations to keep them in top shape!
I highly recommended them!!”
“Ray's Auto Service went above and beyond for me and I really appreciate it. I travel for work and I was making my way down to Wisconsin when on the highway my car started reducing speed, I received some electrical error on my dashboard and now my car would not go pass 20 miles per hour. I quickly looked for a mechanic shop and Ray's Auto was 6 minutes away, I called and explained the situation and they said I could bring it in. I was very grateful just for that because it was almost closing time for them. They quickly diagnosed my car and gave me a very reasonable price and on top of that they were willing to stay after to get my car up and running that same night. I had a snack next door at a Cafe and before I knew it my car was ready. It's been running great ever since and I made it to Wisconsin that night with no further issues. I appreciate them going above and beyond to help a traveler get safely to their destination. I recommend them to anyone who needs trustworthy and hard working mechanics.”
“I went to Casey for a second opinion on some work on my Rav 4. Sean was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained in detail the issues I was concerned about. I felt a sense of relief dealing with a company that is honest and treats the customer with respect. I will be bringing both our cars there for service from now on. Thanks to Sean and all the staff at Casey automotive.”

“I haven’t had “work” done on my car yet, but wanted to share a negative quickly turned positive experience that I had . I had brought my car in to get checked out and was told if they didn’t get to my car that day, they would get to it the next day. When the next day came and I still hadn’t gotten a call, I felt frustrated that I had to reach out to hear what was going on. I was told I’d get a call back with an update and as the end of the day came near, I was even more frustrated that I had to reach out again. I expressed my frustration and the man I spoke with was very kind and took ownership in the fact that my car had fallen through the cracks and had not been contacted. To me, this business gets five stars because instead of giving me the run around, they took ownership, apologized, and made things right. My car was made a priority the next morning and I was given an honest assessment and next steps. I didn’t feel like anyone was trying to get me to purchase any unnecessary repairs. They even comped me the service charges due to the situation. And as a bonus, everyone was kind and patient with my energetic five year old. Everyone makes mistakes, what matters is how you choose to handle it. Thanks for your integrity and honesty. We’ll be back.”
“Experienced , professional gentleman who are fair and honest .
We trust our fleet of vehicles to Casey in Palatine.
Make an appointment ~ you can be sure your vehicles get the best automotive care at this Casey location .”
“I don't need new tires at the moment, but next time I do it's Berry Tire and Auto in Libertyville. I needed my TPMS sensors replaced and my tires rotated, they got me in and out in an hour, with an expert job at a very reasonable price. Check them out next time you need auto or tire services!”

“Great job by all find antifreeze leak and repair and thanks for loaned vehicle so I could get home as my car need 2 days of attention.

“I may need service soon and it struck me that I neglected to add a review in the past. Jim has taken care of complex issues with my car for years. He has always been affordable, frequently working around my strained budget to get me back on the road. Anytime he’s needed the car overnight, he has provided a loaner. He’s extremely knowledgeable and just a nice person. I’d feel comfortable recommending Rouse’s to anyone.
Edit: Another 5-star experience! The owner even sent me a follow-up with the paperwork needed to qualify for a rebate on parts. That kind of above & beyond service is why I trust Rouse’s and you can, too!”
“Very honest service ---I wasn't sure how much damage I had done to my wheel. They carefully looked everything over, and only fixed what was necessary. Fair price.”
“You can't go wrong bringing your car to Deerfield Tire. Their work is excellent and very reasonably priced. They are the most honest auto mechanics I have ever dealt with. Cooperative and pleasure to work with.”

“I went to get my brakes done today and the staff was so nice and very timely! I was able to get everything I needed done and was finished without any problems. One of my favorite shops to go to and I always come back!”
“These guys are great. They always find time for urgent, last-minute repairs like the headlight they replaced for me this morning even though they were obviously swamped. Pricing is incredibly reasonable for a high-end shop. Dave and Ron are extremely personable, so instead of dreading car repairs it's always a pleasure to visit their business. Look no further. Highly recommended.”
