Horrible I took my car for a tune up oil change they charged me 1,600 dollars. Super over priced for everything! They said I needed manifold gaskets coils and none of it was changed. I went to another mechanic I ended up getting a whole new manifold because they broke my old one. They are a rip off and I do not recommend at all but if you go ask them to show you the new parts and old parts and check oil levels before you go.

Jim and the whole shop is always trustworthy and top-notch. He's an honest owner and never let us down with either of our vehicles. Always prompt communication and service. Definitely recommend to anyone.

I gave this auto shop a chance based on a high recommendation. Dropping off the vehicle was smooth, I called the same day to provide warranty info the person on the phone said they had it. I get a call maybe an hour or two later asking for the warranty info. I was told over the phone I had a timing chain issue. The vehicle did not have the check engine light on when I took it. I was advised my vehicle will take a week it took two. I called Monday they said my care will be ready Tuesday, Tuesday I receive a call that I need valve covers the day I'm suppose to pick up the car. I declined the valve covers it was an additional 300 then spark plugs 120. They said ok your car will be ready Wednesday then Thursday then Friday finally Saturday came Labor day weekend. The car was "ready". Picked up paid test drove check engine light on airbag light on and car sounds worse then when I took it. I called to take it back but had a bad feeling, I will take it where I usually go its an hour drive but worth it. This experience was horrendous. The communication is terrible the way that I was treated was unacceptable. Save your time and money go to the dealership. May pay a bit more but you save yourself the hassle. I tried to support local shop, not worth it.

My experience over all with this company was very unprofessional. The owner told me my repairs were going to be done professionally and that’s why the price for my specific repair was so high . I was lied too . After picking up my car I realized my car was Squeaking and i called the shop back to let them know . They told me to bring my car in Sat. and that one Sat . turned into 3 Sat. back to back . One month later and my car is still Squeaking and i’m still trying to get it fixed by them.

They are so nice and quick here! I was in the area to wash my car and looked online for an oil change spot. I saw some of the negative reviews, but decided to check it out for myself and form my own opinion, and I’m so glad I did. I had a delightful experience. Jim was friendly and everyone was peaceful and very pleasant. They said I should expect to be there an hour but was done in 30-45 minutes. They made fresh coffee for me. It was only a little more expensive than the shop I usually go to in the suburbs, but it’s Chicago so I understand. So great!

I have had a difficult time detaching from my truck. Jim has been very friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly an honest and professional mechanic. I've read the negative ratings and not once experienced any of them and I've had service done at this shop numerous times. An honest and professional mechanic is hard to come by nowadays. I totally recommend Chicago A+ Auto Repair shop.

Jim always gives me the best advice and always tries to get the best price possible. He is realistic and will always take the time to explain everything to me. I've gone to him for the last four years and if I ever move, I will come back to him.

Just picked up my Nissan passenger Van. I had the tires rotated, all the brakes and rotors replaced and an oil change. Service was done quick, shop personnel were friendly and informational and work was completed at a reasonable price. I recommend this place for all your break and oil change services.

We've been going to A+ Auto with our two cars for years. The service is great and at fair prices. We moved recently and tried a local shop but quickly went back to A+ because we trust the service, could get a free estimate before committing to any work, and the prices were lower. It's a longer drive now, but that's our shop. Highly recommended.

This has and always will be my go to Chicago Auto Shop. Jim and his staff are very knowledgable and always give a fair estimate. They are professional and courteous. I like that they have a restroom for customers that is always clean and smells good. No need to look further, this is the shop you want.

Excellent Repair Service. Straight Talk. Honest. That sums it up. I originally went in for a quick muffler job, but once I spoke with the owner (Joe) and his team (Paul) and repair technicians (Jesus, etc) it occurred to me that he had a great team of people in place. My car needed some other services (engine & suspension) - and I also had those done at A+. I'm tired of people trying to scam me on my car repairs. I'm a bit of a home mechanic and I know cars. These guys were right on with there suggestions of what needed to be fixed. They did it well, fast, and cheap. Thanks.

Ive always had a pleasant experience with this my local shop that was until today. Usually your able to talk to your mechanic about money issues and they will honestly tell you what they are able to work out with you. But in my case I'm struggling and was given the wrong or bypassed information without knowing the knowledge behind it. Rear lights not working after speaking to Mike office manager he informs me that I had an option either he would hook me up $92.00 for the diagnostic and he would throw in the bypass and would get the car out in the about an hour or I could pay $200.00 and could have the work done correctly. After agreeing to pay the $200.00 dollars I receive a call a few hours later informing me that the car is ready. I thought a great job was done my lights were working everything was great. Later that day I find out that he has installed a bypass but had been charged the full $200.00. Mike told me that the additional funds were for the time spent on the car and I was then given the option to have the piece taken off, have the $200.00 returned, and never to come back again.

Took my car in for an oil change they left the oil cap open. They fixed it and try to clean it up not a well done job. I decided to get my brakes done few days later I had to take it back because break was squeaking. The brake housing was loose. Waste of time would never go back.

I called these guys and told them about my brake issue. I knew I needed new rear rotors and was unsure about the fronts. Going into this knowing I needed ALL NEW brake pads and was unsure of the rest of what was going on. I wanted all of my suspension checked while they were under the vehicle thinking FOR SURE that they'd try to hit me up with some form of charge to fix SOMETHING. They didn't. These guys were awesome and I didn't feel like they were acting like the stereotypical auto shop scumbags looking to take me to the cleaners. Super reasonable, super responsive, and a feel good atmosphere. I'll be going back when necessary.

Worse place to take your car. I went there a few years back my visit was pleasant unfortunately this time around it was the worse possible experience anyone could ever have first the customer service is bad and their way of fixing a problem is by using electric tape. I was not aware that tapping wires cost $200. To keep things short the cars wires were stripped and instead of replacing them they just tapped it up and if that isn't enough now when I turn on my heater it smells like if something is burning. By the way I am a mother of two and my husband is legally blind and now don't feel safe driving in the car because of what they did. BEWARE OFF THIS PLACE AND DONT TAKE ANY CHANCES CAR WILL BE WORSE THEN WHAT IT WAS

I Showed up to my appointment with a running vehicle that had a random misfire. After I paid them for the diagnostic, they came into the lobby and told me that my car went into pass-lock anti theft mode and that there was nothing they could do about it because they were closing in 10 minutes, and pushed my car out into the lot and told me that I was on my own.
