I had $1200 worth of emissions done by 2 shops with mechanics that had 80 years of combined experience. I still failed the emissions test. I went into Adams and they found a pinprick in a 3 inch house by the carburetor. They diagnosed the problem in 3 minutes. Great job guys! read more

Very Terrible service they cheat and steal. I was charged double times to repair thesame issue. I wish I took my car elsewhere read more

Adams Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Markham, Illinois

Went to this shop for a diagnostics on my car. He charges $120 and if you get your car repaired there, that $120 is deducted from the cost of the repair. After the reading he informed me that the throttle needed cleaning. He would clean it, retest it, and take the car to emissions for testing. The charge would be $1250. At first I said ok, then I rethought about it and I told him to wait a minute, let me call my husband. Not married so I call a friend (lol). I told him my husband said bring the car home that the charge was to expensive for a throttle cleaning. He got mad and mean and told me if I didn't get it done right then the $120 would not to deducted for repairs if I return the next day. He then proceeded to tell me to get my husband on the phone so he could speak with him. He was slamming papers around and being a real jerk. Needless to say, I was able to get my throttled cleaned for $75 and passed emissions. read more

Do not go here!! Drive anywhere but here. They will over price you and cheat you. Period!!!! Everything is over $500.00. Better Business Bureau need to be contacted. read more

Worst service ever. Waste of time and money. Promised to pass emission test but in the end left me on my own. Not to mention charged 900 dollars just to leave the engine light on when promised to fix the situation. Overall waste of time and money. Do not recommend coming here. read more

So...I failed my emissions test next door to Adam's, and saw this repair place and was a bit hesitant. I checked and saw it was in the booklet of Repair Shops for emissions problems, so thought I'd hold my breath and give the place a try. The people behind the counter were courteous, explained that they would look at the car to determine the exact problem and resolution needed and would then speak with me again. They explained the problem precisely and nicely, explained my options and different cost options for the repair and the time it would take, etc. They were flexible, courteous, and most importantly - honest. After getting the car fixed, I had to drive around a day or two for the car's system to re-set so it would pass the test. I stopped by twice, and both times they stopped their work and immediately came over to my car to see if my system had reset yet (free for them to check). Finally it re-set and I passed, and went right next door to the emissions place and passed there as well. Overall a really great experience with this place. I live in Chicago but liked this place so much I may go here for all my repairs! Thanks guys for taking such good care of my car. read more

CAUTION! I was recommended to go to this place by OIL & Go, on 159th, Orland Park, when my "check engine soon" light came on. and they could not get it to stay off after reseting it. I was told that it probably was related to a gas cap/evaporation matter. When I arrived at Adam's and shared that information with the receptionist, I was advised that was not the issue and that the charge to find the issue would be $85 and that amount would be deducted from the cost of the repair if I repaired the car there. I asked if they were open to look at the car now. They said yes. I agreed to move forward. They pulled the car into the garage and let it sit for 40 minutes before the hood ever came up. After I noticeably walked back and forth a few times, someone ultimately came out and started to look at the car. They ran a smoke test and had trouble locating an emissions leaks. After the tests, I was told the "was" a small leak and that a spring was not responding that was causing the check engine light to continue to trip and that both repairs could be made for $200. After some discussion, we agreed upon a price and they agreed to make the repairs. HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING. The "repair" seemed to take less than 20 mins. Even though they kept they car on a lift for more than two (2) hours and tried to make it seem like they were working on it longer. After the car sat unattended for 20 mins, I walked in and they told me the car was done BUT that they were ALSO GIVING ME A NEW GAS CAP AT NO CHARGE TOO because my old one was not working properly. I immediately asked if that could have been the whole problem and the guy started talking in riddles about "giving me the cap free". . . like I was suppose to forget my question. He never answered my question. 1 STAR because they did do a smoke test . . . but seems to me that the first thing (least expensive) they should have done is check the gas cap condition but they went for the $$$. Seems suspect. read more

Adam's Truck & Auto Repair mechanics do good work and the prices are reasonable. Here's a caution, though: That loud mouth, thinks-she-knows-it-all receptionist is a nice person, but she gives BAD advice. She needs to stay in her lane. She's the reason I gave 3 instead of 4 or 5 stars. Other than that, I don't have any complaints. read more

Tried to commit FRAUD and get away with it. Do not take your car here, I had to file a complaint with BBB on about $2,300 worth of work and guess what? The transmission went back out 2 less than weeks after I picked the car up. The Manager got upset when I asked him to please stop doing half-ass work on my car so he said, " you can go take your car to someone else!" I could only reply, "You mean pay someone else again to fix what I just paid you an additional $700 to fix a week ago?" Yeah, that makes just enough sense for me to add that information to the BBB complaint. read more

I never write reviews but I hope you take heed from my experience to never allow these crooks to steal your money! I was quoted 1150 for repairs that I almost let them complete, thank God for my fiancé suggesting we get a second opinion! For 2 coils and spark plugs I was quoted 750 plus 400 for an engine mount that I didn't even need! I went to a more reputable shop (with better reviews)and got everything done for 330. The better business bureau needs to shut them down, it should be illegal to cheat and trick people out of their hard earned money. If I could rate them no stars I surely would read more

Took my car into Adams to get the check engine light problem fixed so that I can pass the emission. It cost $80 just for them to look at your car and tell you what is wrong, unless you get the car fixed with them. So the mechanic comes out and tells me that i have 3 codes O2 sensor exhaust sensor and another one I forget. They called me 2 days later and say that they did replace the sensors but the light was still on. The mechanic says that the problem must not be mechanical but electrical and that he would have to trace the wiring for the whole car. At this time my balance was $650. I told him to stop right there with the work do not proceed, I did not plan to spend that much money. I went to emission and still failed had to get a waver and my car started to run horrible when I got it back. They use a lot of mechanical language along with their thick accent makes it hard to understand them. I gave them one star only because they were friendly and they assisted me with no extra cost on how to get the waiver. read more

TERRIBLE! it's the worst customer service I've experienced in a while. The receptionist is the absolute WORST ever. She has the worst attitude and she isn't that helpful either. The mechanics will try to leverage themselves by stating, "we will get you a passed emissions test". It's a lie they will continue to "fuck you over with charges" read more

Today I took my car to hav brakes bleed due to a leak in the rubber hose coming from caliber. I recently replaced the hose but still had a leak. So I took the car in to bleed the brakes. After they fix the leak and bleed the brakes they called me and told me it would be 225 dollars I was expecting 100 to 125. My complaint is someone should hav called me and told me there were more work to be done on vehicle and there would be more charge. Lesson learned the owner or manager was rude and told me he would break what he fix and charge me for a caliber. Sad customer service. I paid the bill and will leave the rest to GOD. TERRIBLE SERVICE. read more

Terrible people. Terrible customer service. Terrible experience. Was told my car had a sensor problem regarding oil. Yvette or whatever her name at the front desk is. Hates her life and has no problem treating u accordingly. So 250$ later after Dee assured me the car was fine. 2 days later same exact problem. So Dee the mechanic rides with me in my car to asses the problem " professionally" . Dee ends up giving me a run around about something else went wrong and he never told me the car was fine. After me and Dee end up going back and forth with him running out of excuses. He proceeds to act like a child and tell me not to come back. Ended up having a friend who's a mechanic tell me it was a simple oil leak and patched it up for free. NO ISSUES SINCE. This place is a scam. Dee is a joke and it amazes me how they made it this far. If u luv being lied to and have endless money. THIS IS YOUR PLACE. read more
