This was my second visit with Gearhedz to service my GTI and not only did they do a good job at an affordable price, they performed a follow up service for me at no cost and they provide rides back and forth to my house in Mokena. Would highly recommend.

**Honest, Reliable, and Great Service**
I have just started taking my vehicles to Gear Headz over the last year. This shop came highly recommended to me from a friend. They have consistently provided nothing but honest, top-tier service. What sets this shop apart is how they treat you. One instance that really stood out was The first time we used them My son took his car in to have the exhaust system installed. The owner looked at the system we brought and explained that it might cause the check engine light to come on due to a missing part. He didn’t just push ahead with the installation for a quick buck – instead, he made sure we knew the potential issues.
My son decided to return the system and get the correct one. However, ten minutes after we left, the owner called us back. He had taken the time to research the system on his own and realized that it was, in fact, the right one for his car. We returned, and they had it installed that same day. This kind of attention to detail and dedication is rare.
Since then, we’ve trusted Gear Headz with all our vehicles. They certainly aren't the cheapest, but the quality of their service and their honesty make it more than worth it. I’ve never walked out of their shop feeling ripped off – only confident that my vehicles are in good hands. We all need a Go-to repair shop that we feel comfortable bringing our vehicles to. This is that shop.

Great independent service garage. I’ve had my vehicle serviced there twice now and I am quite satisfied with their service. I am also writing this review as I noticed that the folks at Gear Heads respond to their reviews posted on Google Maps. To me this means that they care about maintaining a satisfied customer.

Check the work they do on your vehicle after it’s done! Very disappointed in the last service we received and the lies that ensued afterwards.I have used them in the past numerous times with no issues and great service for repairs until now. The work they did 20k miles previous has failed and we were told I need to change head gaskets every 20k miles. Keep in mind the one and only time I had to have it changed by them was at 200k miles should be the sign that every 20K is wrong! Then to make a repair to another part of the engine, they cut off my exhaust flex pipe that they installed previously and tried to say I needed a new one because it was leaking only to find it’s because they cut it off because they were being lazy and did not want to remove it for repairs. Took it back and they put flex-sealant around it to “fix it” instead of replacing the part they cut off/damaged on my vehicle.Beware of shoddy work and deceptive practices.Oh and then not being notified before you come to pick up your vehicle that they are a cash/check business and you will be charged a % higher if you use your BANKS debt card or CC.Steer clear of this shop, many other reputable shops out there that actual care about their customers and not just the $$.Services: Exhaust

They recommended two repair services which were 75% to 175% the value of my car. Had I not been knowledgeable I might have bought these repairs.

Not only did the staff help me get my vehicle back on the road they did it quickly and efficiently. Every time I come into Gear Headz staff is wonderful to deal with. I recommend Gear Headz to all my friends and family.

I started going here for oil changes about a year or so ago. I called for an appointment for an oil change . I went on Wednesday. Brian came out and told me my battery as corroded and needed replacement. He said both front and rear rotors and brake pads had to be replaced. He said some kind of flush needed. Also a cabin and air filter. To the tune of $1400. Brian told me I had the original battery on my 2017 toyota.At that point I lost all trust. I replaced my battery at toyota in January of 21. He assumed it was original because it was a Toyota battery. He then looked again and there was a sticker that said 01/21!I replaced the air and cabin filter only along with the oil change fir$144.Made an appointment at toyota. Big surprise, battery checked out fine. They put a protective coating on the battery and it's sticky so dirt stuck to it. They washed it off and checked it on a monitor. It's fine . My brakes, they're at 50%.I'm just floored at what Brian said. Honestly I will go back to toyota.I'm really just shocked at what Brian said. Get a second opinion if you go here.

UPDATE 02.28.23Rob reached out to make it right with us after hearing all the troubles we've been having with our car. They offered to have our car towed to their shop at their own expense and give it a thorough engine check. We very much appreciate their solid commitment to stand behind their work. Our vehicle is still being repaired as of now but we have high hopes everything will turn out well. I'll post an update soon as we're able to drive our car again. ORIGINAL REVIEW 02.24.2023Beware. I should have listened to my instinct with only the 2 reviews it has here. Brought our GMC to repair flat tire & check on the AC. They did some repair to get the heat going and was told it's not a good idea to check if the cold is working from the AC since it's winter and to wait til Spring. They told us alternator might need replacement for over $1500 but can wait. A day after we brought the car home after paying almost $500, engine was making sound. Called to report the problem and didn't heard back. The sound from the engine became more evident as days go by. After we brought home the car, I felt it's not the same anymore with the sounds it was making. True enough, after few more days, the 'emergency engine' safety came on while we were driving in I-355. SUV had to be towed since it won't start anymore. Mechanic from Gamboas inspected it after it was brought there and we were informed the whole engine has to be replaced. We were told oil was depleted even though the oil indicator shows 40%. Before bringing it to Gear Headz, our SUV didn't have this huge of a problem except for the flat tire we brought it in & minor concern with the AC that was still working. The ladies there were so nice though but the service work don't was questionable, on top of the high service price tag.
