“If you want a local mechanic who will help in a pinch and who is consistently there for you then this is your guy. Several times he has charged me nothing to look at a light or hook up a monitor for a quick analysis. Yes you will need an appointment to do anything major. No they are not cheap but they do stand behind their work.”
“Not knowing what to do with a stalled car a call to Mike Engle at Murphys and the tow truck was on the way. Within the same day a call your car is ready. Courteous and efficient. Thank you.”
“Such amazing customer service and hospitality! Ruben got me in and out in less than 25min and this family owned business really takes the extra step to make you feel taken care of and at home. I recommend anyone to do business here!!”
“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.”
“After bad engine service on my Jeep Commander with another mechanic a neighbor recommended 1st Class..
They diagnosed a problem the other guy didn't...
Replaced the engine and now it will be worry free for 4 years...
Appreciate all the work Ameen and his guys did..”
“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!”
“I went here because of a recommendation and they did not disappoint. Jay was very helpful and honest with the service my car needed. Not to mention how reasonable the prices were, thank you so much I'll definitely be going back worth the long drive.”
“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!”
“Fantastic team to work with. Very professional. They keep you updated on what it takes to keep your vehicle running. Will not oversell any maintenance. They tell you exactly what you need. Lucky to have them in the neighborhood.”

“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'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”
“CLJ automotive is a Justice Gem and Illinois treasure with their service and knowledgeable staff! As soon as I called their location, I was greeted with respect and understanding that is seldomly seen in this profession. Once my keys were in their possession, they gave me an incredibly affordable rate, and I was impressed by how efficient they were in addressing my car issues. Despite it being an electric vehicle, they handled the situation in a timely manner that was faster than any other place before. The staff was accommodating, always willing to answer my questions, and provide updates throughout the process. I genuinely appreciated their kind and personable approach; it made a stressful situation much easier to handle. As a result, Carlos, the owner, left me with a satisfied purchase, and I highly recommend this shop for anyone in need of automotive services. :)”
“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.”
“Had my vehicle towed to Highline on 1/9/26 the day after my wife got water in the engine due to driving through my block when it was flooded with heavy rain water the night prior which then the car stalled and it wouldn’t turn on so it had to be picked up by a tow truck. Saturday 1/10/26 received a call from the shop notifying me of the steps they would need to take to address the issue which involved an oil drain and refill on the oil,transmission fluid and front and rear differential fluid change as well as removing the water inside the engine and replacing the engine filter. Fast forward to today 1/12/26 I was notified my vehicle was complete and ready for pickup, I am beyond satisfied with the amazing customer service and the great work that was done to fix me vehicle. My car runs even better than it did before! These guys did an amazing job and I will 1000% be coming here for future repairs as well as recommending this place to others. Thank you!”
“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 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.”
“I’ve been coming to Jaime and his team for years and they have always taken great care of my cars. They are very honest, their prices are fair, and they never try to overcharge or sell you things you don’t need. It’s hard to find mechanics you can truly trust, but Jaime’s shop is definitely one of them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and honest service.”

“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!”
“Pedro & Lupe were both extremely helpful and kind with assisting me with an oil change and changing my back rotors/brakes, the wait timing was very short and reasonable. I definitely will be back. Such a Wonderful hardworking shop. I recommend everyone to stop by, they does a fantastic job.!!!! Will not be disappointed”
“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.”
“Hey all!! Want to Give A Huge Shoutout to Mike from Established Auto Service & Sales!

“Honest, fair, fast, excellent customer service, great place for auto repairs. Highly recommended. Phil keeps you well informed of any future work you may need as well.”
“I just had a headlight fixed. They got me right in and it was a fair price. They’ve earned a new client in me after another place in Countryside tried overcharging me by thousands of dollars for work that was not needed.”
“Honest, fair, fast, excellent customer service, great place for auto repairs. Highly recommended. Phil keeps you well informed of any future work you may need as well.”
“A year ago my transmission went out on my work truck. I did my research and went to precision trans specialist that was the best decision I could have made not only did i get the transmission rebuilt but i got it with upgraded parts. They provide a 12 month warranty and they are true to it! Absolutely great mechanic shop. I will always recommend my people to go here. Thank you Kim and Mike for getting my truck back on the road!”
“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 recently had my car serviced at AAMCO before a 17-hour road trip from Chicago to Orlando, Florida, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience—especially for the outstanding help I received from Seth.
From the moment I walked in, Seth made me feel like my trip actually mattered to him. I explained that I was about to take a long highway drive and wanted to make sure my car was completely reliable. Instead of rushing through a routine check, he took the time to really listen, ask thoughtful questions about the car’s recent performance, and explain what he recommended and why.
What stood out most was how thorough and transparent he was throughout the process. Seth walked me through the inspection results in plain, understandable terms and never pressured me into unnecessary services. He clearly prioritized safety and reliability over upselling, which gave me a lot of confidence in both his expertise and his integrity.
The work itself was done efficiently and professionally. My car was ready when promised, everything was explained before and after service, and the pricing was fair and straightforward. By the time I left, I felt completely confident that my vehicle was road-trip ready.
That confidence proved to be well placed. The drive from Chicago to Orlando was smooth and worry-free, even through long stretches of highway driving and changing weather conditions. Knowing my car had been properly checked and serviced gave me real peace of mind the entire trip.
It’s rare to find service that combines technical skill, honesty, and genuine customer care, but Seth delivered on all three. He represents the kind of professionalism that builds long-term trust, and he turned what could have been a stressful pre-trip task into a reassuring experience.
I highly recommend Seth to anyone who wants reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely customer-focused automotive service. If you’re preparing for a long drive or just want your car handled by someone who truly cares about doing the job right, you’ll be in excellent hands.”
