“Same day in and out. I lucked out, they were great, friendly, kind, courteous, and did a great job. Service for fluid checks, for brakes and steering with an oil change. All in under an hour. My pleasure doing business with them.”
“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!!”
“I took my 2019 Ford F-150 to several different mechanics trying to figure out what was wrong with it, and nobody could give me a straight answer or actually fix the problem. I was honestly starting to think I was going to be stuck throwing money at the truck without ever getting it resolved. Then I brought it to 1st Class Auto Repair, and they figured out what everyone else couldn’t. They actually took the time to diagnose the issue properly instead of just guessing and replacing random parts. The difference in knowledge, attention to detail, and professionalism was night and day. My F150 is running great now, and I seriously wish I would’ve brought it here first. It would’ve saved me a lot of time, stress, and money. If other shops can’t figure out your car, bring it to 1st Class Auto Repair. These guys know what they’re doing, and the name really does fit the service. 10/10 definitely earned the 5 stars.”
“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.”
“I was visiting Chicago from SC and I started getting notices that my tires were low on air. I needed someone to check multiple tires before driving back to SC. My daughter takes her car to Eliot’s and recommended them. Leo was helpful, professional and willing to get me fixed up on short notice. I needed a new tire and am grateful to Leo and his crew.”
“I had an excellent experience with Smart Auto! The staff was professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. They clearly explained what needed to be repaired, completed the work on time, and charged a fair price. My car is running perfectly now. It is difficult to find a repair shop you can truly trust, but Smart Auto has earned my confidence. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, and high-quality auto service!”
“Helped me on multiple occasions last minute. Such a wonderful shop, has done battery replacements, rgb lights, emissions testing help, recommended my family and friends to this shop aswell”
“I had a great experience getting my car serviced. They were kind enough to let me drop of my car in the middle of the night. They were great at keeping me posted and finishing the job promptly. I can not recommend them enough!”
“We bring our 2018 Rav4 hybrid here and have also felt taken care of. They are honest, straight forward and easily relatable. Thanks for staying late to fix our car on a Saturday Junior and your team of techs! 🙏”

“The level of customer service is exceptional. Chuck explained what the issues were and his recommendations to fix them. His service was prompt and I’ve been more than happy with the results. This will be my go to place for service going forward”
“Honestly, I really love this place! They’re always honest, quick, and super nice. Carlos is the best, he’s always so helpful and answers all my questions. I trust them with my car 100%, they’re definitely my go-to mechanics now! 😊”
“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.”

“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.

“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 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.”
“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.”
“Honest and fair shop. They prioritize repairs for you and I have never felt as though they are trying to upcharge me. This is the only place I let service my Honda.”
“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”
“Alex and crew know what’s up. Bimmers, Porsches, ect. I’ve seen their builds and was recommended them by a fellow enthusiast. Nice people, professional quality work. Excellent communication. Look forward to further stages of my build. Alex has exceptional knowledge with f8x chassis. Great guy, will be returning. Cheers!”
“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! 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’ve had a wonderful experience here from the beginning! Isaiah was able to help me out over the phone and give me a ballpark cost of what my repairs would be. Unfortunately, (and I knew this) I had to replace my brake pads, rotors, a caliper, and break fluid (I’m just a girl and drove my car when I shouldn’t have, oopsie) but they were able to repair my car the same day, drop off at 9AM and pickup at 5PM at a very reasonable price- and I am super happy. Will definitely be coming here for my routine maintenance and any repairs from here on out and recommend this place to anyone!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Seem like very honest business. Called and explained the issues I was having and looking for a quote on new spark plugs. My Jeep takes 16 plugs so it’s an expensive service. Instead of selling me a service I likely didn’t need, he gave some great advice about other things to check first before even spending money on a diagnostic service. Never actually been here before but it’s the first place I’ll go the next time I have an issue with any of my vehicles. Honesty goes a long way!”
