They gave me an honest and thorough assessment of my car's needs and the associated costs. They were not 'pushy' and the staff was very friendly.

I live right by the shop and I'm so grateful to have a trusted mechanic. Mike and his guys work hard and are honest about your car. I have my family cars serviced here and have had nothing but great experiences.

Incompetent and dishonest. Stay away. Prices seem low until you find out that he only did part of the work he was supposed to do. Then he apologizes and finishes. He ruined my brakes and refuses to admit there is anything wrong. When I press the brake peddle, it makes a loud clicking noise, the brakes squeal (sounds like an old bus in Mexico), and my car lurches forward. I suspect that he replaced the pads with ones cannibalized from the junkers on the lot. I think that's where he gets parts from. I've brought my car back three times. Mike drives my car, and tells me nothing is wrong when obviously something is very wrong with my brakes. He never gives you a receipt specifying the mileage and work done even though Illinois law requires it. I'm about to report him to the BBB.

i was considering employing his services, but Mike has a terrible phone manner and a equally horrible attitude. I called this guy several times, and my phone was repeatedly disconnected. When I was finally able to reach him and ask about his phone system, he simply ignored my concern and asked me in his rude foreign accent "How can I help you?" I explained the issue that seemed to be transmission related, and he then his spits out a $2300 price without even examining my car's transmission.He exclaimed that I need a brand new transmission, without due consideration of physically diagnosing the problem.Unbeknownst to him, I know from experience that the 1st thing to check if one suspects a transmission issue is the actual amount transmission fluid itself. If the vehicle has an insufficient amount of fluid, this could be easily rectified by filling the fluid to the appropriate level. Well, unforetunately for me, my car doesn't have a dipstick conveniently located to allow me to check the transmission fluid level like the cars did decades prior, and the plug is located inconveniently underneath my car's engine. Another simple problem could pertain to the quality of the transmission fluid itself. It is a fact that if that fluid is contaminated or dirty, then this can also be rectified with a transmission change(not a transmission flush, which is potentially bad for your car). But I guess Mike thought that he was dealing with an uninformed consumer, and was going to price gouge another s****** I think NOT! Based on my brief interaction with this person, I can tell you that this guy is a TOTAL CLOWN, and should be avoided like the CORONA VIRUS!!!!!!!!!!
