Greg is a rare breed. He's one of the last honest mechanics out there who does INCREDIBLE work and tries to save you money any time he can. My family and I found out about him 4 or 5 years ago and we won't take our cars anywhere else. I HIGHLY recommend him to everyone. God bless Greg and thank you!

Greg is just a gentle soul, a very nice and a caring human being and his work ethics demonstrate those traits. We have a 2006 Honda Pilot and suddenly saw that scary "check engine" light. This was stressul since we didn't want to spend a lot of money on this old vehicle and also were not in a position to buy new one. We took to Greg and he checked and gave us the reason behind and the options we had without spending exorbitant amount of money. And he didn't charge anything. Where do you find such individuals?

In the 20 years I've lived in the Chicago area, Greg is the most honest and knowledgeable mechanic that I've found. I'm the owner of a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, and being from Minnesota, got into the habit of taking it back home to have it maintained, rather than being told that the "tires are out of round" or the "the halogen fluid is low" by a guy in the city. In the small town I come from, people are known for their integrity, and Greg is the first mechanic in Illinois I've found who lives up to that standard. I found Greg through an online search when I moved to Aurora in 2012 and needed some immediate work. In the past 5 years, I've gone to Greg for a number of issues, and every time, he's been incredibly helpful and forthright. My car is a 2001 Jeep Cherokee---she now has 215,000 miles on the odometer, has been stolen and recovered, driven through city traffic and out of snowbanks. To say I love my car would be an understatement. The last time I needed a repair, I asked Greg, given the age and mileage, whether it made sense to put more money in or to retire her back in Minnesota. He gave me a clear assessment of the problem, but told me that my beloved Jeep still had some life left in her, and found a solution to the problem. I'm incredibly grateful that Greg was there. Greg is also clearly knowledgeble and experienced, but even more, he's a genuinely good guy. He clearly cares about what he does, and isn't out just to make money. I never have to worry that he's overcharged me or done something that didn't need to be done. I'll keep going to Greg as long as my Jeep keeps running and in the future.

Greg runs a great, reliable shop. I only trust my cars with two people; my mechanic brother and Greg. The shop is trustworthy and has honest pricing. I recently ran into a problem with a battery I had Greg put in over a year ago. Greg got back to me immediately, talked about what was happening and he got it replaced very quickly. I would recommend anyone looking for a great shop to give Greg a visit!

I've had the most amazing experience with Greg. We trust this man because he has earned it! You cant find people like this, who offer such honest service and prices. Don't just take my word for it. The next time you need work done, get a second look from Greg. He has the genuine knowledge and experience with all sorts of things, and if he doesn't he will tell you straight up. I've never had an issue, or worried about my car (or the other 4 cars in the family) when it's in his care. I HIGHLY recommend this place. I've been burnt on suspensions, replaced parts prematurely, and generally getting up-charged by every other mechanic I've met. This is the only place I feel good leaving, and I wish we had 100 greg clones all over the state, maybe we'd save enough money to get chicago out of debt.

After using a couple different car repair places with bad results and high prices, we decided to give Greg's a try. We have 4 autos in our household and one of them is always needing something. Greg did an absolute great job on our van and took a LOT of his time to try and work with existing parts so as not to cause us a huge bill by buying new parts. His final bill was over $500 less than what he had thought it was gonna cost. He is a VERY fair guy and knows his stuff. We would highly recommend Greg's my mechanic.

I had the pleasure to meet Greg personally when my civic got a flat tire. I ended up in his parking lot calling road side assistance and looked up and realized there was a mechanic shop right in front of me. I went in and Greg didn't hesitate to help me change my flat tire and get my spare on. My spare was on in 10 minutes when I would of had to wait hours for road side assurance. Such a nice man that seems to run a great business!!! Thank you again Greg!! Katie

I had my transmission fluid changed and brakes inspected. They did a great job at a fair price.

2023 Update: After coming back from our vacation, my car sounded like its exhaust system had failed. I took the car to Greg and one option was a complete replacement that would cost me $2600 or more. Before letting me know, Greg had already called another mechanic in the area who does exhaust/muffler work and he could address the problem with less than $300. He would take my car to his shop, get it fixed the next day, I would pay him and Greg would take no money! This is a man I continue to blindly trust and recommend to anyone who wants an honest opinion about their car issues. 2019 Original Post: This is the best place to have your car inspected; maintained or repaired. I don’t know much about cars, but I know a lot about people and Greg is a man of his word, very professional, friendly, and above all honest and fair. I had a significant oil leak and took my car to another mechanic. He replaced a small pipe and charged me $400. A few weeks later no oil in the car. I took the car to Greg and he found and corrected the issue quickly and charged me less than I expected! I am very happy I finally found a mechanic I can trust.. thank you, Greg!

Greg has been extremely helpful and kind to me. He is so honest and didn't push any work that didn't need to be done. When I bought a new vehicle he did a full inspection free of charge. Would highly recommend this place!

Greg is amazing! We needed help asap, since my husband’s car broke down right when he got to work in Aurora. My husband commutes over an hour to work, and the goal was to find a place that could get the car all fixed up before leaving. Greg was able to get it done. His prices reflect the kind of man and businessman he is. Amazing customer service, amazing work ethic, kind and honest all in all. Do not hesitate to bring your car here. This is a genuine person, he would be my regular if we didn’t live so far!

My detailed and honest experience from this shop. July 1st, 2025: I spoke directly with Greg from Greg’s Mechanic regarding a brake issue following a previous service in June. I also informed him that my “Trac Off” and “Check Engine” lights were coming on during highway driving. Additionally, I reported steering wheel vibration and jittering at high speeds. July 1st, 2025: Greg diagnosed the vehicle and recommended a tune-up and replacement of three ignition coils, which I approved and paid for. July 12th, 2025: My car began exhibiting the exact same issues — shaking on the expressway and dashboard warning lights returning. July 12th, 2025: I immediately contacted Greg’s Mechanic and left a voicemail describing the problem. July 14th, 2025: Greg returned my call and was extremely rude. I explained that the vehicle was once again undrivable, and the original issues had not been resolved by the service performed. July 15th, 2025: I brought the vehicle to the manufacturer dealership for a second opinion and diagnostic assessment where they resolved the issue. Given this sequence and the continued failure of the vehicle post-repair, I would never recommend this shop due to. - [ ] The effectiveness and necessity of the services performed by Greg’s Mechanic - [ ] The timeline of recurrence of the issues. - [ ] The second opinion obtained from the vehicle manufacturer. Below are pictures of my wheels that Greg never mentioned.

My engine light was on and My fiance took my car to get fixed by this person “Greg” he stated that it was a “Air filter” Greg so called fixed the problem and called to tell us that he was done, 3 hours later, the engine light came back on, my fiancé called Greg and told him about this situation, Greg told him to bring it back, we took the car back the next morning as soon as I got off work at 6am because I work overnight…. Greg claim he fix it again, as we got the car, my entire car smelled like cigarettes 🤢 it’s like the mechanic was smoking in my car😡 the same night as I started the car to head to work, the engine light comes back on; so now I’m furious my fiancé called Greg the 3rd time and Greg stated “oh we used a old air filter; I’m ordering a new one now, just bring it back” so now I have so many questions like “if we paid a few hundred dollars to get a new part, why would you use something old to fix it” so Greg called and said he got the part, we bring it back the fourth time and Greg say”If the light comes back on, just bring it back and I’ll fix it”😑and sure did 2 hours later it came back on, I was highly disappointed; you took our money making it seem like you can fix the car, and at that you suppose to be a mechanic, my finance search this mechanic up through yelp and he showed that it was good reviews and no complaints, so either he got his family writing these reviews or he’s paying people to write them…. I would NEVER RECOMMEND or go back to Greg ever again

Greg is a stand up guy with a l honest shop. I reached out to him about replacing a damaged suspension. Before taking the job, he made sure I called the dealership because there was an extended warranty on certain parts with my make/model. Greg also replaced a burnt tail light bulb for me free of charge. Great shop with great service

Greg is super friendly and honest. He fixed my broken driver-side axle for a fair price and didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. I really appreciate the honesty and great service. I’ll definitely be recommending him to my family and friends. Thanks, Greg!
