I’ll let you draw your own conclusion as to whether or not they were trying to take advantage of us—but here’s what happened: Our van suddenly started overheating. It was overdue for an oil change anyway, so my wife took it to Delta Sonic and mentioned the overheating issue. They told her they weren’t a full-service repair shop, but they checked for visible leaks and didn’t find any—either oil or coolant. Our regular mechanic was booked up, and we were about to leave on a trip, so she took the van to Maximum Automotive. According to them, the van had major issues: multiple leaks, pools of oil and coolant, and it supposedly needed a new radiator, engine oil cooler adapter, and thermostat. The quote: $3,100.12—on a van that has a trade-in value of maybe $5,000–$6,000. Needless to say, it was a shock. She called me and we talked it over, and then she asked them if there was a cheaper "patch job" option—just enough to get the van drivable before trading it in. They said they could essentially just replace the radiator for $1,300. It cost us $111 for the diagnosis. We ended up canceling our trip and getting a second opinion (technically a third, if you count Delta Sonic). Our usual mechanic was able to fit us in a couple of days later. Their diagnosis? We only needed a new radiator and some A/C repair. Total cost: about $500. I called Maximum to ask about the discrepancy. They insisted they weren’t trying to take advantage of us and suggested that our usual shop must not have looked as thoroughly as they did. They offered to “show us” the issues if we brought the van back in. No thanks. Even if they weren’t being dishonest, the fact remains: we’re getting the radiator replaced for less than half of what Maximum quoted us—without all the extra parts they claimed we needed.

This place is amazing 9 out of 10 spectacular. The owner Jeremy is a stud and knows his stuff. You would get a 10 outta 10 if you brought back the son Casey. 😉

I can not say enough good things about Maximum, I have brought multiple vehicles here and they have been the most honest and straight forward shop I have ever worked with. They have no problem explaining things start to finish whether you know about cars or know nothing at all! I give them an A++++ and recommend them to everyone needing service.

Just had Maximum Automotive install my Metal Cloak lift on my 2017 Jeep JK and everything was done quick and right. These guys are great and would recommend when thinking about doing your lift.

I have been coming to Maximum for a long time, and I travel quite a distance to get here. Maximum is basically responsible for my build - I doubt that my 2012 would be in such good shape without them. They know their stuff - you can tell from the volume of customers. Definitely worth the trip!

Excellent service!!! Unlike places I have tried in the past, I know I can count on Maximum for an honest assessment of any issues with my family's vehicles, a fair price on the vehicle repairs, and they stand behind their work. Maximum is the only place I take my cars!

Recently had some issues with my EcoSport and the guys at Maximum took care of me. Not only were they able to take care of diagnosing my issue quickly but they were knowledgeable about recalls and local providers so I could get my car fixed as cheap and quickly as possible. These guys know what they are doing and pride themselves on doing it right and fair. I don't even live locally anymore but I keep coming back to maximum for all my maintenance and repair because these are professionals you can trust.

I had my car towed to the shop with my car sounding like a lawn mower back on 06/03/25. As I hit the bottom of a hill I cracked my catalytic converter. Typically no matter where a crack is on a catalytic converter you have to replace it as the metal is too thin to weld/repair and anyone who's had to replace one before knows this means $$$$. I just finished moving 3 days prior and didn't have the money to do this, but they let me know it cracked right on the flange weld. Turns out it was a weak factory weld. These guys were able to clean up the old weld and get it re-welded with no damage to the rest of it. It's now held strong for a month so far with no issues, AND it solved 2 other problems I had in the process. All for a fraction of the cost of a new converter. I currently now live 45 minutes away in Plainfield and still will go out of my way to bring my car here in the future if needed.

Excellent experience coming here for the first time with my Mitsubishi Mirage! My dad was a customer here for years and told me they do fantastic work. Casey was willing to work with my busy schedule and take care of my car first thing in the morning. I got an oil change, tire rotation and asked about some squeaking I noticed while driving. He kept me informed throughout the process, letting me know my driving belt and brakes needed service and how much everythingwould cost. He and his hardworking team took excellent care of my car! It drives like it's brand new! They took care of everything I asked for and I cannot thank them enough!

This place is the best. Absolute total professionals and 100% trustworthy. They service all of our cars and they do it for substantially less than other shops, and a fraction of what a dealership would charge. And they don't try to sell you on services that are not necessary. They recently replaced a stolen catalytic converter for us. They literally charged us $2,000 less than the Hyundai dealer. In addition, another one of our cars blew a lower engine and it needed to be replaced. Casey, the owner, told us that there was a court settlement that extended the warranty on the engine and that it was covered by the extended warranty. He was right and we got a brand new lower engine for free because of Casey. We won't go anywhere else.

I called in the morning, within 5 minutes they were able to take my car in and diagnose my sickly gal. Same day, by 3pm my car was repaired and good to go. I received quotes from 2 other shops that were almost 50% higher for a tricky job with wait times for at least 2-4 business days. The crew was kind and didn't disregard my opinion (very uncommon being a female), they kept me posted throughout the process (I overreact when there's an issue with my car). I think I found my new favorite car doctors. Highly recommend. :)

Easily the best auto shop I’ve ever been too. My 2013 Elantra’s engine was making a concerning noise and my parents, long time customers of Maximum Automotive, recommended I take it there. Casey and his team did a test drive and determined that a full engine replacement was needed. They determined that my car was still under the manufacturer’s warranty and recommended I bring it to a local dealership. They also recommended I hold off on other repairs I thought I needed until the dealership confirmed the engine was covered under warranty. Their thoroughness, helpful direction and honesty was completely refreshing and I’d recommend Maximum Automotive to anyone who needs car service or repairs.

Casy and his crew are the best that I've ever experienced for a automotive repair shop. I've had over 10 years of work done. Very fair pricing, and the communication is outstanding. Please consider Maximum Auto for your next service. Dean M

I am very pleased with Maximum Automotive. The service we received today was excellent. We worked with Casey. He was polite, educated and helped me understand what needed to be done. Excellent deals on tires and couldn’t have asked for better service. Waiting area was clean and very nice inside. Definitely will recommend this place! We’ll be coming back!
