“I can’t recommend Andrew & Leading Edge enough. They not only identified potential risks (like aging brakes) that my other mechanic missed, but Andrew personally went out of his way to fix my heat when it went out suddenly even though his garage was at max capacity. I understand now why my family has been trusting Leading Edge for decades.”
“I’ve been going to L&L for years now. I have always trusted them to provide spectacular customer service and to always to be fair and honest in the maintenance of my car. They are truly a gem of the neighborhood and are rightfully popular. So make sure to call ahead!”

“Highly recommend. Service was top notch and on time. Final pricing was as originally quoted.
Manny was super helpful and answered all my questions. Much appreciated.”
“The most kindest honest people in the business. They are transparent with their work. You know every step of the way what is going on. This review is based on visiting multiple times, over many years, and with a few cars, and they haven't changed. 100% Reliable and friendly.”
“Incredibly kind, quick, and reasonably priced! I had a planned tripped and realized 2 hours before that something sounded wrong with my car. They got me in immediately and helped me out!!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! My vehicle recently broke down, so I brought it to Hollywood after a recommendation from a friend. So glad that I did! Grateful to the team there for identifying the issue, resolving it quickly and also identifying a couple issues I was unaware of. They did not pressure me to fix everything right away, but informed me what was priority and what would need attention in the coming months. Finding an honest mechanic isn’t always easy, so they’ve earned a customer for life! Thank you!”
“John has always taken the utmost best care of my car! From a tire at 7am to needing my front breaks replaced. He even was able to tack on a last minute oil change with my long commute right now. I don’t trust taking my car anywhere else!”
“Summer tires off, winter tires on and all 4 corners aligned in the time it took me to walk over to downtown Wilmette, have breakfast and walk back. Great service as usual. All our cars are cared for by Heart.”
“I highly recommend this auto shop. Victor and Tony are great! They take my car in right away when I need to come in at the last minute. They always offer a ride home so I do not have to pay for an Uber. They are good about calling with updates about the car. I had just got new tires 2 weeks ago and the tire pressure light came on again. I brought it back in and after replacing one of the battery sensors, they told me it was a gift as they felt bad for missing that during the previous visit. Great staff!”
“I recently brought my Lexus IS250 to North Pointe with a severe transmission shifting problem, fearing the worst. Adam diagnosed it as an electronic issue rather than the transmission, however, and fixed it by replacing the car's Electronic Control Module. The service was extremely professional, quick, and was the equal of any Lexus dealership at a more competitive price. Adam's knowledge and competence are exceptional, he is personable and straightforward, and I can say without hesitation this was the highest quality repair experience I've had.”

“I had a great experience with this company. Kenny was very responsive and transparent about the cost and timing of the vehicle repairs. I got the vehicle repaired within 2 days, and it is running well. I will recommend this company to anyone who’s looking for quality auto repairs in the city.”
“They did an amazing job working with us on our Nissan. They took the time to really investigate the issue when others couldn’t figure it out, and their prices are very reasonable. They were incredibly communicative throughout the whole process, which we truly appreciated because that isn't always the standard at repair shops. They’ve definitely earned our trust, and we’ll continue coming back. Highly recommend!”
“I have a 2007 BMW 5 Series and ran into an issue where I couldn’t open the hood to put in oil. I stopped by without an appointment, and the team was super helpful — they dropped what they were doing and helped me out right away. They managed to get the hood open with the right tools and got me back on track quickly. Really appreciated how friendly and responsive they were. Definitely recommend. Thank you Mr Vo”
“I've been taking my 2005 Cadillac to these guys for years. Without fail, they get it right the first time. Moreover they don't just do random maintenance on your car. They take a thorough look, and if something needs to be fixed, they'll let you know. If not, they'll let you know. And the best part, they don't price gouge. Some of the best pricing I've seen in greater Chicago. This is probably why they're stacked with cars day in and day out.”

“I honestly never had heard of Heart Auto Care until I had to find a new car care because my long-time mechanic retired. I started with looking at reviews and proximity to where I live. Well, I have to say that after my time bringing my car in, I'm extremely impressed. Heart is an efficient, honest, and friendly place. They were very thorough with my car and explained what my car needed - and what it didn't need. I have found my new auto care place. Thank you to everyone at the Northbrook Heart Auto Care.”

“Wonderful shop on the northside!! Was recommended to go here from friends and family who highly praise Mike as an honest guy who just wants to keep the neighborhood moving! Fully agree with that statement after I came in with oil consumption issues. Mike knew what to recommend, worked with me within price and has an awesome warranty on work and parts. Oil change is well priced compared to any of the chain shops, and would definitely love to support someone local instead! Call or stop in and see what they can help ya with!”

“Cannot thank them enough, had a bird incident (long story) and they were able to take care of it super quick. They are all so nice and i felt completely comfortable. Happy to have found my new go-to. Will defiantly be back.”
“I don’t even know where to begin — this was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve ever gone through with my car, and Tramcar completely changed that for me.
From the moment I spoke with Carey (the owner), I knew I was in the right place. He has been in the business for decades, and you can feel that experience and honesty immediately. He took the time to explain things in a way that made sense and never made me feel rushed or pressured.
But I have to give a special thank you to Junior. He was absolutely incredible throughout this entire process. He was so detailed, patient, and transparent about everything. He walked me through every step, answered all of my questions, and most importantly — made me feel completely at ease during a very stressful situation. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in doing things the right way.
My transmission issue was not simple at all. Parts were difficult to find, and the situation itself was overwhelming. I had already been through a long and frustrating process before coming here, and I honestly felt exhausted and unsure of what to do next.
Tramcar stepped in and handled everything with professionalism, skill, and care. They kept me informed, did the job correctly, and never cut corners. When I finally got the call that my car was ready, I cannot even describe the relief I felt.
This shop gave me peace of mind when I needed it the most.
If you are dealing with any transmission issue, do yourself a favor and come here. You will be treated with respect, honesty, and real expertise.
I am beyond grateful for Carey, Junior, and the entire team.
Thank you for everything.”
“Our 2002 Explorer was having some transmission issues and a friend told us about Transomatic. They will actually let you know about your problem before just throwing parts at it.
Unfortunately the explorer needed a rebuild, but they didna great job and the price was very competitive. Nice to have a good trans shop not that far from us.”
“Hey all!! Want to Give A Huge Shoutout to Mike from Established Auto Service & Sales! He saved my Car Came into his shop to repair my Throttle Body Connector some rats in my area chewed up my wires on it when i went to start up the car it was rough idling like crazy but I took right away to Mike and right away he looked at it gave me pricing that was affordable and we gave it a Go!! The car is running like new again!! Definitely a Good and very honest Mechanic! Hes efficiant and ut was all done the Same Day!! Awesome Job Mike im definitely going back to him again!!”
“I brought my truck to Accurate Auto after dealing with a check engine light that no one else could figure out. The truck was showing multiple codes — P219B, P0300, and P0306 — and it turned out there was low compression across the entire right bank of the engine. My engine had actually been replaced with a new Jasper engine back in March, so this issue was a major concern.
Accurate Auto took the time to properly diagnose the problem and discovered that the engine itself had a defect. They reached out to Jasper on my behalf, handled the entire warranty process, and got approval for a replacement engine. Within about two weeks, they had a brand-new Jasper engine installed and had my truck back on the road.
Their communication, professionalism, and honesty throughout the entire process were outstanding. They solved a problem that several others couldn’t, and they stood behind their work. I truly appreciate how smoothly they handled everything, especially something this major.
Highly recommend Accurate Auto — they earned my trust.”
“This was my first transaction with MPC. Everything went smoothly and better than expected. Jimmy and Taylor are very attentive and very nice people. I would recommend this company for servicing your high end vehicle.”
“Chris and the Golf Crawford team were amazing!! It was my first time being serviced at a new auto repair shop and it is rare to find a shop that you know you can really put your trust into. I'm sure we've all had experiences with auto shops trying to take advantage of a good thing. These guys? They will not steer you wrong. They are authetic, straight up and honest on needed repairs and upgrades. Chris is also willing to work with you and the service needed within reason so it's sustainable on both ends. This business is run with integrity and this shop is a diamond in the rough - go with them - you wont be dissapointed. Woohoo!”
“I’ve used many mechanics over the years, but none have come close to the level of trust, fairness, and quality I’ve found with Mike. This is, hands down, the best mechanic I’ve ever worked with. Every time I bring my car in, I know I’m getting honest advice, fair pricing, and expert work. No upselling, no surprises—just reliable, straightforward service from someone who clearly takes pride in what they do. It’s rare to find a mechanic you can completely trust, but I’m grateful I finally have. Highly recommend!”
“The owner is extremely knowledgeable & one of the best in his fields, especially when it comes to the electrical & module issues on vehicles. Do you have a problem vehicle that no other shop can figure out, while they throw parts at it... NEVER fixing the problem?? Come here!Don't waste your money elsewhere! Don't throw your money away on guesses!”
“Been going here for years. Quick ,fast , efficient,and reasonable. They will only fix what is needed and not sell you on other unnecessary things . Got the privilege to know them better and they are great guys!!!!!”
“I've used them for over 2 decades and honestly would not go anywhere else. As always, Nortown knocks it out of the park! Always identifies *exactly* what needs to be fixed, makes the perfect repair and assists with all your logistics. The work is always top quality! Love them immensely!”

“I had a few things done at this dealership. For me the most important thing is to have an honest person on the other side. I feel like a lot of these repair service shops always do some guessing games. When I dropped off my car Joel was very honest about everything that my car needed. He even got me original manufacturer parts. They did a great job, great price, in a very timely manner! Everything that I'm looking for in the service shop. Thanks again!”
“Was constantly having a check engine on my Audi A4 around 135k miles. Went to the dealership and they were quoting me insane prices, even just for the diagnostic. Thankfully one of my friends Dan referred me to Sam at Advanced Auto Clinic. I am always hesitant to go to franchise mechanic shops so i did not want to take my Audi just to any jiffy lube or car-x.
This place has experience with foreign vehicles and after the hospitality I received at Advanced Auto Clinic, I definitely would go here instead of the dealership 10 times out of 10. Sam worked on my car, gave me an honest explanation as to what was going on, and then gave me a fair price.
Hard to find that with mechanic shops nowadays. He even called me after the fact to follow up and see how the A4 was running. There is a reason this place has been open for so long.
5 stars”
“Brian from pro- auto took me without an appointment..very professional, great customer service . Been there 3 times already!! Always going out of his way to help.”
