“Brought my new (used) 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid in for an inspection, just to verify if there was anything I should be considered about as part of the used car purchase process. They confirmed they can inspect hybrids which was helpful for me. The inspection was less than two hours, and fairly thorough; gave me an idea of what does and doesn't need work on the car in the near future. Much appreciated.”
“This is a great shop! We've taken 3 of our vehicles to them now and every time they've fixed the problem the correct way the first time. I highly recommend this shop for any type of vehicle!”
“I brought my F150 in for a noise I was hearing more often and an oil change. It ended up after a very thorough inspection with pictures to support it that the truck needed some fundamental large things done. It only has 40,000 miles and we bought it used. It is a 2016. We love it and continue to need a truck. After a long conversation with Steve who runs the shop we agreed to axles, cellanoid, front and rear brakes, tail pipe support welding, ball joints, etc. They ordered the parts the Friday before Xmas, did all the work on Monday and Tuesday and I drove my like new lifetime truck out of the shop on Christmas Eve. It is the tidiest shop you will EVER see. I felt we decided together what must be done. I felt trust in Steve. Make Christian Brothers Auto your choice in the Barrington area.”
“Jason and Marcus are wonderful to deal with. Fair, honest pricing and quality work. They go above and beyond to make sure that my automotive issues are fixed properly and within the price quoted.
I have the utmost confidence in their mechanics to perform the work required”
“Twelve years ago I was in dire straits and AAC stepped up, going above and beyond to help me out of a jam. Three cars later, they still go out of their way every time. I can't say enough about them.”
“I visited Braash Automotive to have my brakes inspected before winter driving. Lenny did a thorough job of checking everything and explained in detail the condition of my brakes and when I might need to replace them. He also checked my tires, tire pressure and coolant. A friend referred me to Braash and said he was honest and fair. I’ve been looking for a good mechanic with these attributes and feel like I have finally found one at Braash Automotive!”
“I had some significant work that needed to be done on my Wrangler. Jeff took the time to discuss the vehicle inspection and my options with me. We ultimately came up with a plan to split the work between now and spring. The time to complete the work and the cost were very reasonable.”

“I needed a last minute oil change before going on long road trip and they were able to squeeze me in the in at the last minute. Very friendly and honest. I usually go to another auto repair, but will definitely come back here in the future.”
“Adrian, Kody, Ian, and Ryan hooked me up by getting my oil, transmission, and cabin air filter changed out fast and efficiently! Definitely coming back here in the future!”

“I have been going to Chris for a few years now ever since my trans went out. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it helped me find Lakemoor Transmission. Since then Chris has helped keep my van going well over 200k miles. Whether its brakes, catalytic converter, oil and coolant leaks, serpentine belt. There is nothing he can't handle. He does great work for a great price. Great honest mechanics are hard to find. Look no further!”

“I was down from central Wisconsin, going to a medical appointment. Got a nail in my tire and when they could have closed the doors, they stayed open just to make sure I could get down the road, phenomenal people highly recommended.!!!”
“Rob’s Complete Automotive truly deserves recognition. I really appreciate the quality of their work and, just as importantly, the way they take care of people. It means a lot to have an automotive repair shop in town that genuinely supports the community and looks out for the general public. They’re honest, fair with pricing, and deliver great service you can trust. It’s clear they care about doing the job right and making sure customers feel confident and taken care of. I’m grateful to have a place like this locally and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them”

“Manny was friendly, keeping me updated on progress of vehicle. Andy got the work done within the time expected. He found things I knew were an issue and even some new things.”
“I broke down on Saturday. I had my car towed to Doug's Transmission Shop and called there on Monday. Doug was very knowledgeable and friendly. I gave him the green light to replace the Transmission and he had it done on Friday. Awesome! My 2020 Nissan Maxima runs like new. I highly recommend checking with Doug if you're having Transmission problems. Thanks for the great service!”
“No nonsense incredibly experienced straightforward and competent service provided for my 2018 Macan GTS. Definitely bring your German auto needs to Rick. You wont regret it!”
“SJM AutoWerks replaced my A/C compressor on my 2020 Volvo for a better price than the dealership. They were honest and fair priced and I will use them again in the future”

“Mike is truly the best mechanic in the world. Toyota said I needed thousands of dollars with of work. Mike looked it over and the only thing that was true was that I needed front brakes. It is very hard to find honest mechanics. Thank you Mike for being one of those. Shame on you Toyota!! Thank you again Mike.”
“Dino is a great guy! Knowledgable, helpful, efficient and honest. My family and I have been going for years and years and we’ve never had an issue. He never overcharges nor tries to sell you something you don’t need. 10/10, Definitely recommend.”
“Daniel is a dedicated mechanic, he will give good advice and will repair quickly, relatively cheaply compared to other workshops. He has already repaired 2 of my cars and I am satisfied. I recommend Daniel to everyone, he is always nice and smiling, you can trust him with your cars. He does not charge for replacing parts that are good, as other workshops do. I paid about $450 for replacing 2 tires and shock absorbers, and another workshop told me $1,200 because they proposed replacing several other parts.”
“I went to their open house 10/18/25, and everyone treated me like they already knew me. All of the employees are passionate about their work, and they even mounted my tires, welded my exhaust, and shined my tires for free. If you have a saab or a volvo, take it here. You will get a quality job and probably make some friends.”
“Chris and the team at C.A.R.R.S. handled my wife’s tire issue quickly and efficiently, providing great value for the service. The appointment was right on schedule, and they made sure she was back on the road safely. We’ll continue to trust C.A.R.R.S. with all of our vehicles!”
“Great place! Had a really good experience here. Xavier is very friendly, professional, and efficient. I appreciated how they took the time to check everything and let me know the condition of my vehicle without any pressure. The waiting area was clean and the service was done quickly. Highly recommended!!”
“I brought in my Chevy equinox and had Mike check on my brakes and he did a great job. Thanks Mike. He did work on my Ford Taurus years ago. My Boss Jake told me about him.”
“Jason from Crystal Lake transmission is very professional and responsive to my questions and phone calls regarding my notorious 65RFE transmission. I brought the truck in. He was able to diagnose it very quickly and the turnaround time was great. It’s very unfortunate that I needed to get the transmission rebuilt, but that being said I could not recommend Jason and Crystal Lake transmissions enough he did a great job and I’ll be coming back with all my vehicles to him Jason thank you!!”
“I wish I would have came here sooner. The people there are the best and honest. Showed me everything that was wrong with my automobile. If I could give them 10 stars I would”
“On July 5th my GMC Sierra 1500 Denali experienced a diesel engine fault. The Service Team immediately took the vehicle in for evaluation. They determined the cause and deemed the vehicle undriveable. Following the 4th of July weekend they set out to source the failed sensor/assembly. The item was not in stock and required over a month to receive and a few days to install. While I was inconvenienced without a vehicle for such a long time the service department provided a loaner and my GMC warranty covered the cost of a rental vehicle so that my family could still travel to the east coast for our scheduled two week vacation. Chris Scholer provided excellent CUSTOMER SERVICE. Thank you!”
“I recently purchase a used car. Within putting 200 miles on it the transmission failed.
Jeff & Steve worked with me to get the cars problem diagnosed and repaired. Timely, professionally and with wonderful communication. Although the car was not a SAAB they provided
Services Above And Beyond. With my thanks to the whole team. Great to be back on the road !”
“When I walk into Manfred, it's clear that Bruce knows what is going on. He has done it all a thousand times. And he is personally invested in the outcome. He wants to do it right the first time.
When I used to walk into the dealerships, I never got that feeling. It was HOPE for the best and pay 35% more.
I moved to Iowa this month. Will I return to Manfred and Bruce for service? Yes, I will.
Also, they work with you on scheduling. They know you. It's a family run business.”
