Transmission Repair near Niles, IL

“I had a dead reverse light and after having an estimate for $60 at another place, I drove by Car-X, walked in and had a $20 estimate. They were busy and I scheduled for the next day. However, I drove by again and this time, called and they were kind enough to do it immediately. The service took about 10 minutes and was excellent. They were friendly and at the end, the surprise was that it cost substantially less. If I am not mistaken the manager is Ricardo, kudos to him. Amazing staff and great service. Don't think twice!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I cannot say enough great things about CarX in Skokie and the outstanding service I received from Mike and his team. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with professionalism, honesty, and genuine care. Finding a trustworthy auto repair shop can be difficult, but CarX has completely earned my confidence and future business.

Mike went above and beyond to make sure I understood exactly what was going on with my vehicle. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed, and provided honest recommendations without any pressure. It’s refreshing to work with someone who truly values customer service and integrity.”

“David and his team are the best. He's incredibly knowledgeable. I had some kind of pebble stuck in my A/C exhaust, so when I would turn on the A/C the passenger side foot well would flood. Another place wanted to seal 2 guys in there for hours to figure out if it was actually a problem. That sounded like a lot. I took the car to David, and he took compressed air and shot a quick second of it into the A/C exhaust, and then a stream of water started to come out. He sent me on my way with a bill of under $50, where the other place was going to charge me more than $1k. I'm never going anywhere else.”

“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!!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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'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 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”

“Immaculate service always. I tasked Tomi and Josh with finding out the source of a stubborn rattle in the rear of my vehicle and it took some tries to get it resolved but they eventually completed the job flawlessly. They cut me an amazing deal on my control arm and brake replacement and replaced my rear struts at no extra charge since they were under warranty. I’ve been visiting San Jose Automotive for all car service related tasks for the last two years and I’m delighted to say they are all deserving for success to come there way as a local automotive shop. Don’t hesitate to stop by them and get quoted on an upcoming repair, you will be taken care of.”

“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!”

“Outstanding experience. The staff demonstrated real expertise and integrity throughout the transmission service process. Everything was explained clearly, pricing was reasonable, and the results speak for themselves. It’s refreshing to deal with professionals who stand behind their work.

“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.”

“I purchased a vehicle from out of state and had Midwest Performance do a Pre-Purchase Inspection on my behalf since I didn't have the ability to see the car in person prior to buying it.

The shop provided a very thorough inspection with pictures of the exterior and interior including close ups of any damage they found. They even included brake pad/rotor life, tire tread, and fluid levels. The inspection gave me all the information I needed, providing peace of mind that I was making an informed decision with my purchase.

I truly appreciate Ryan's professionalism, knowledge, and expertise. I highly recommend this shop.”

“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.”

“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!”

“This place was freaking awesome. Had a blessing in disguise. Justin went Above and beyond tell me, God bless them. I will definitely refer everyone back to them.”

“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!”

“After my 3rd time giving Bimmer Benz my business I’ve decided to finally leave a review. I’ve tried many other mechanics around the city but they can’t make me feel as confident as they do that my vehicle is in good hands. I’ve gotten my transmission, battery and oil looked at and the pricing, turn around time and quality has always been on point. I recently sent my younger brother to get his breaks replaced and he also mentioned they were very friendly, quick and fair. Please do yourself a favor and give your business to those who stay honest deserve it.”
