We’ve taken our cars to Hard Times several times. We have some antique cars as well. They have taken great care of any car we’ve asked them to work on. Everyone at the shop is great and always very respectful. They just recently came through for us by fixing our 59 Metropolitan in 1 day so we could still attend a car show that we had planned.

Went here due to heat not working. It was done within a half day and heat works great! Not only that, but with the tune ups they did, my car is running as if it’s brand new. Highly recommend!

These guys are the best in the business in Lake County and one could argue all of Illinois. They strive for customer service, honesty, and upholding integrity. Not only are they fair in their prices but the work is done timely and with decades of experience. My family and I take our cars here for anything we need and the guys always jump on it. They're extremely helpful for my parents vehicles. The bill always comes in at or below what they quoted and if there are any surprises they always call before doing any work to make sure we're all on the same page before starting work. Look no further if you need auto repair and service...Hard Times is your best bet.

Very down to earth and passionate about getting things done right. Charlie installed a cage for my 06 Lemons Mazda Racecar and it couldn’t have worked out any better. Would recommend anyone within Motorsports to this place.
