This will be my go to place for car repairs. T was super help and was able to ease my anxiety with my older car. He and his team looked the over everything from front to back, ensured my car was safe to drive and returned it to me in a reasonable time.They are short staffed which did extend the time of to repair my car by a day, but that didn’t hinder the quality of care for both the car and the customer.

I wouldn’t suggest this mechanic to anyone at all. I had engine light came up. I called him and he said it will cost $180 for diagnostic and will be able to check it on Monday. I agreed to amount and got my car towed to Maks Auto on Saturday. I called him on Monday. They told me they were unable to check my car. Same answer on Tuesday. They finally got my car diagnosed on Wednesday and were telling me to make decision in minutes. They kept calling me through out the day. They weren’t sure if the engine was gone. They suggested me couple of items needed to be replaced and even after replacing those items they aren’t sure it will fix 100% of the problem. They are like if we put external parts then we will be able to know if anything is wrong inside the engine. If they came to know after replacing those suggested parts if something is wrong inside the engine then it is extra on top of what I would be paying. They told me opening the engine will cost $2000. I guess that would be equally to new engine cost. They were keep forcing me to spend 1600 bucks for nothing. Since, I didn’t agree to that solution they gave me another option after few hours where they can try just changing timing of the engine and few parts first. But again it won’t fix the problem. I asked them to give me few hours to make my decision since they kept calling me in middle of my work. After, I called them back saying I don’t wanna try any solution at this point just put the engine back however it was. Now, they told me they already try replacing few parts and timing of the engine and engine seems to run fine but I will still need to get additional parts repaired as was suggest earlier which will cost around 1600. I’m like I never agreed to changing any parts in the car. They are like how do we know if the engine is bad without changing the parts so we did. If you want you car back you’ll have to pay $180 + $250 for the labor + parts and at some point they told me I have to pay for putting engine back together and started telling me the phone is being recorded after 5,6 call being made to me. If the call is being recorded they should mentioned it at the beginning and they were recording call without my consent. Im like check your call recording I never mentioned changing or replacing any parts. He is like but you mentioned you would like to know if engine is bad or not so we replace the parts. I was already done with this guy. Next day, told him that I wanted car back as it was and don’t want anything to be done with this car he is like this call is recorded and if you don’t pick up your car today it will be $80 for storage. This guy was storing my car for 3 days and now telling me this. Basically, he wanted to rip us off one way or another.

They took very good care of the problem I had with my Dodge Grand Caravan. They not only fixed the issue reported but also provided right guidance for other potential issues without looking for additional business! I recommend this place for quality service and right guidance!!

I recommend Maks Auto Repair to everyone I know. They are great neighbors in our community! T and his team go above and beyond; always explaining what’s wrong and showing me the problem. I trust them and know that they are not trying to take advantage to make an extra buck. It’s the only place I go for car repairs.Services: Auto maintenance

I needed some repairs to a couple of our cars. I did some looking into good reviews and Maks had mostly good ones and is close to where we live, so I took a chance. They absolutely lived up to all the 5 star reviews! "T" runs the shop and is very knowledgeable about all things cars. Cars were good-to-go the very first time with no hassle, and I feel certain I got a good deal. No up-selling, just honest facts, and cars are running well now. Thanks, T!Services: Auto A/C recharge

Way too expensive for parts and labour than Firestone or any other auto store. The same parts which the owner (T) claims that's installed, cost on AutoZone is 100% lesser than on my bill (I verified the part numbers and cost on AutoZone). I should have explored other options, it's my mistake I bindly went with reference from my neighbor. A costly lesson learned, ended up paying 200% more for parts and even after understanding the labor prices I'm sure i ended up paying 200% more for labor as well. Very disappointed with my experience.

I found myself needing an urgent repair on a Saturday afternoon for my car because my engine splash shield became completely dislodged and started dragging on the ground -- exposing the innards of my car. Luckily I stumbled across Tarang and his shop.Maks Auto Repair is a minority-owned, family/small business and they're as honest as they come. Tarang made me feel as if I were an extension of his family even though we just met. He is a local that represents Streamwood very well. They don't push products or service on you and will only tell you what needs to be done at a fair price.Tarang and his team didn't just repair my issue, they completely fortified my underbody. I haven't felt this confident about my car's health since I bought it from the dealer. I really wished I took a before and after picture.Please keep in mind that due to the labor shortage and this establishment being a small-business, there may be a short wait. However, rest-assured you will get the highest level of service and could guarantee that your best interests will be in their minds.I live an hour away from Streamwood but whenever I require auto work, I will make sure I call Maks for any future repairs. Highly recommend.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Tarang and his team at Maks provide the two key elements when searching for service provider, automotive or otherwise - honesty and reliability.
