“Tuffy Tire & Auto Service fixed a leak in my tire fast and right. Communication stayed clear from start to finish. Service moved quickly without rushing the work. Pricing felt fair and transparent.
You get straight answers, solid work, and no hassle. I have no complaints and would return without hesitation.”
“The Lamp Automotive team has been servicing my family’s cars for years now. From oil changes to major mechanical and tires. They’re honest efficient and very competitive on pricing. I simply won’t trust any other company with our automotive services and maintenance. I echo these other reviews and state that they carry my highest recommendation!!”
“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!”
“At 10:45 AM I called Christian Brothers. At 11:15 AM I arrived. By 11:25 AM my car was fixed and the keys were being handed back to me. By far the best experience I have ever had with an automotive repair shop. Excellent, honest, straightforward service. Thank you Steve! We will be back!
The rattling noise coming from my 2009 Toyota was a hanging heat sheild. After putting my car up on the lift, it was able to be put back in place with just a couple of washers. No upsell, no 150 pt inspection, no shop fee, no nothing. Just a couple of washers and an extremely satisfied customer. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs work done on their car.”
“Sergio and his crew are awesome. I thought I needed to have my trans rebuilt but Sergio found the problem and saved me a huge bill. Definitely bringing any future trans work that I need done here!”
“I have been a customer of Car-X in Crystal Lake now for almost 10 years. And what I love most about them, is they never treated me a type of way because I'm a female. And I appreciate that, because a lot of places do! Sadly. But this was my first ever wheel alignment on any car I have ever had so I don't have anything to compare to, but I will say I am satisfied with the alignment they did on my car and now my Bugg is driving beautiful. Thank you guys at Car-X it wasn't the first time getting something done with you guys and it won't be the last :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“This is the first time I got my car fixed there. I talked to Lance the owner and worked with William to get my 2003 Impala window fixed. They got it in, found the part I needed, and got it fixed within 24 hours.”
“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.”
“Please visit this place if your car is in any kind of trouble. Chris and his son Luke run this place like a well oiled machine… no pun intended. This is the BEST mechanic in town hands down. I’ve used them many times and had all great results”
“Rick, was excellent. I brought in my BMW M2 CS after another shop left the steering wheel off center, and he got the alignment dialed in perfectly. The car now drives exactly as it should. Knowledgeable, honest, and clearly takes pride in his work. Highly recommend Fischer Motors.”
“Highly recommend Doug’s transmissions! They take great care of their customers and their vehicles. Came in with some transmissions problems and ended up needing a rebuild. Doug was very communicative and an all around great person to work with. Vehicle was done in a very timely manner, very fair pricing, and they have a great warranty! You can tell he loves what he does. Thanks again for the hard work.”
“I have been going to Mike for over 17 years. I have recommended both friends, family and anyone looking for a great mechanic. Mike is honest and knowledgeable, explains and shows what is going on with the vehicle being repaired and is very reasonably priced. It is great to know I have a mechanic I can trust and I will continue to go to Mike for anything.”
“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.”
“First visit amazing. I love this place very straight forward and they treat you with great respect. I got my sun roof fix. I will go back so they can work on my bearings. I will keep you all posted.”
“Absolute Best Repair Shop!!!! I take all my cars to Rob. By being honest and affordable, he has saved me so much money over the years. He only fixes what honestly needs fixing and he will tell you what can wait and what can't. He has beaten every estimate from dealerships as well as other repair shops by a very large margin. I just feel like he has my families safety and my wallet always on his mind. Do yourself a favor and take your cars here. You will not be disappointed!”
“I pulled in 15 min till close absolutely they greeted me with smiles and I was out in 12 minutes - Crystal lake location was courteous, fast and friendly. And they offered a $25 off coupon . Can't beat that!!! 5 stars!”
“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”
“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.”
“5 stars for Dino! Riding on my motorcycle on I90 and a washer snapped and my gear shifter fell off. Despite being a shop for cars, Dino came right out and donated me a new washer and torqued the remaining screw to high heavens so I could get it to a bike shop safely. He was the friendly face I needed after that and clearly cares about his customers and community. 10/10 would break down near here again (or return for regular car service!)”
“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!!”
“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!”
“My wife had a flat tire and Pat took such great care of her while I was at work. They came to our house, changed the tire and took the tire to the shop for a repair so my wife could stay home with our baby. Pat and the entire shop went above and beyond and we cannot thank them enough! Truly exceptional service from TechWorx!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Steve and the service he and his staff gave to us. They did a great job fixing the car and made sure everything was running perfectly. I highly recommend them for anyone’s car problems.”
“Van wouldn’t start after wife and daughter got their nails done next store. Daniel and the team pushed it in the shop, cleaned the terminals and cables then charged the battery and it was good to go. Didn’t try to sell me a battery or alternator I didn’t need. Thanks!”
“These guys will take care of you and make sure you are safe at the lowest cost. If you have an older Van (I have an 84 GMC Vandura) they are knowledgable and will get the job done. Can recommend these guys enough!!!!”
“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.”
