“Patrick is great in explaining the service that is needed and/or was done on my car. He takes the time to answer any & all questions that I have. The mechanics are always thorough and respectful of my car. McLean Auto Repair is the best!”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Can’t say enough about your mechanics. I go to the south Elgin location on Randall Road and they kind and check even windshield wipers. Very thoughtful and thorough. This is my 3rd time for grease monkey.”
“I had two great experiences with Marty and Josh. The replaced my starter which was non functional and struts which were both broken. This is a great shop with honest men running it. I will be taking all my business here in the future. Great prices and honest communication.”
“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!”

“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.”
“New to the area and tried a different mechanic shop for some routine maintenance. This routine maintenance caused my transmission to act up and appeared it wasn’t done correctly. Brought it into Coyote, explained the situation and they explained the procedure and how it should be done. Their off the cuff knowledge made me feel comfortable that they would address the problem appropriately. They were able to squeeze me into their scheduled and in less than a day, truck was ready for me. JJ and Joe gave me a recommendations for next items to address and timelines on my truck. I found my new trusted auto repair shop and if you need one too, check out Coyote Auto Center.”
“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.”
“QBZ Repair is fantastic! They diagnosed and fixed my car quickly, using high-quality parts. The staff is friendly and professional, and their customer service is top-notch. Highly recommend for any automotive needs!”
“Took care of my Elantra and treated me amazing as if they knew me personally. I’m glad I came here and definitely recommend this place to anybody. They were a huge help to me”
“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!!”
“The whole repair was explained in the details, I knew exactly what's wrong after clear and concise explanation of the owner. I know exactly how much has to be repaired and the prices are reasonable or even under the market value which I greatly appreciate. The honesty of the staff it's incredible. They're extensive knowledge regarding cars it's astonishing. I would recommend this place to anyone without blinking, the best place to get your car fixed and checked out! Repeat customer for life :) thanks Victor!”
“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”
“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 a screw in my tire leaving me with a flat overnight. My mom recommended this place and I am glad she did. They were honest, reliable, and efficient. You can tell it’s a family place and that family is important. It reminded me of my family. There was a grandfather and granddaughter in the front office sharing stories while the gentleman went to work on my car. I would recommend this place and will look into additional services.”
“Tommy did me a solid on fixing the shifter cable bracket on my 2002 Ford Excursion. The 2 bosses on the Transmission broke and the bracket that holds the shifter cable came off. There are NO aftermarket solutions to fix this problem, not even Ford has a solution except to replace the Transmission. Tommy was able to do some fabrication and provided a repair that was stronger and more reliable than the original mounting solution.”
“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 !”
“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!”
