I cannot say enough great things about this place! As a woman with little to no knowledge about cars the owner is very patient and helpful. After my catalytic converter was stolen from my car, I had no idea what to do or what was wrong with my car at first, and i found this place online as it was the nearest repair shop to me. The owner was excellent and took care of everything in less than 24 hours. Today, on my way to work, I got a flat tire and immediately knew to bring it in here and it was fixed in less than 30 minutes! They are life savers and I will always come here for any/all of my car repair needs!

They are so kind and fairly priced. Helped us incredibly fast with a flat while we had our little one with us. Turned a flat into a learning experience for our toddler. Cannot recommend more.

I traveled in for work meetings from Minneapolis. The morning I checked out of the hotel I found a tire completely flat. Googled auto repair shops in the area - Fulton Desplaines Garage came up. Gave them a call, they answered on the first ring, and Matt was able to talk me through how to get the car from the hotel parking garage to their shop. They were so accommodating and took my car in right away while I finished up work meetings. We decided to do some other maintenance on the car because why not it was there and I needed it done! I went to get my car later that afternoon, it was ready, everything done. My car left in much better shape than when it came in! I can't thank Matt and his team enough for their help, and quick work getting me out of a bad situation. This business has been around for a long time, and I know first hand why!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

Absolutely exceptional service from Matt at Fulton-Desplaines Garage! I was referred by my girlfriend and couldn't be more pleased. Matt was swift to respond to my initial inquiries and was incredibly honest. I thought I was in for an expensive repair, but it turned out to be a simple brake adjustment. His integrity has won me over; I'll be entrusting my 2016 Lexus GS350 to him for all future needs. Highly recommend!Services: Auto brake repair

I recommend this place! I’m from out of town and there were several problems with my car while being in the city. They were able to work on my car first thing in the morning and finished the same day! Super impressed with the communication as well. Reasonable price!

A/C compressor and belt needed replacement on our 2012 Nissan Rogue. Sent an online inquiry on a sunday and Matt texted me only a few hours later! He was able to squeeze me into his busy schedule and fixed my car before end of day on Monday. Matt was also very professional, upfront, courteous and soft spoken. Gave me prices better than the area competitors. Hard to find honest mechanics nowadays go to Matt!Services: Auto A/C recharge

Fulton-Desplaines garage is a little shop with big Midwestern Dad energy (it’s a good thing). Midwestern Dads prioritize 3 things: being prepared for the snow, lawn care, and car maintenance. Matt is the latter Midwestern dad and dragged me (respectfully) for skipping maintenance and then fixed everything and got me back in the road. I was having engine trouble on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra - it was stalling, shaking while Idling , and the check engine light was on. I randomly found the shop via Google, completed the little online info form. I got a call back same day, was updated throughout the process and picked my car up the next day after new spark plugs, engine coil, replacement filters. It was a bit pricey (honestly we can chalk that up to my fault since I waited so long to do the maintenance), but I feel like my car was well taken care of.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

We live 2.5 hrs away and had what turned out to be a radiator failure while we were in town for a concert at the United Center. It was after hours by the time we arrived, so I parked the car at the hotel and messaged Fulton-Desplaines garage. I got a response from Matt that night, AFTER HOURS, telling me I could drop the car off first thing in the morning and they would make it work somehow.I dropped it off the next morning and they got the repair in while we browsed around Fulton Market, and we were home by dinner time the following day, despite it being a larger repair that takes several hours and their schedule being booked.Cannot recommend Matt and Fulton Desplaines garage enough for their great service and quality work!

After paying just under $1,000 to get work done here my car is now running much worse than it was before. And the check engine light is still on after he gave me the green light that my issue was resolved. When I called to ask to bring it in to have it checked again the owner immediately told me I would be charged a diagnostic fee in addition to whatever cost to actually fix the issue. Keep in mind this was all stated one day after getting my car “repaired” by him.

I took a trip from Fort Wayne to Chicago with my car, and upon trying to leave the parking garage at the end of my trip, my car would not start. I tried jumping it with the parking crew, but there was obviously a bigger issue. I called Matt with Fulton-Desplaines Garage, and he was immediately kind and helpful. He helped call a tow truck to get my car out of the garage, took my car in, and ended up having to replace the starter. I had to go back home via train, and Matt was nice enough to hold my car for almost a week until I could come back and pick it up. Everything was priced fairly, and Matt kept in touch throughout the week via text/calls. A great experience considering the misfortune of my car breaking down while away from home!Service: General repairs & maintenance

I had two tires replaced. The tire change was great and I had no issues. My issue is whoever did the test drive on my vehicle after the repair destroyed my front left rim. Deep, unfixable curb rash around 75% of the rim. The service was good and the staff was friendly, but great heavens. I am upset.Service: Tires
