I am so glad I found this place! After my dad passed away, I was hesitant to use just anyone to work on my car. (I only trusted my dad) Anyways, so I started coming here for my car for maintenance and other huge services like brakes! I was always scared of being ripped off as a girl but after today, I realized they take great care of their customers regardless of gender. I trust their opinions and pricing. Highly recommended! read more

I had high hopes for this place. I walked in, and the guy behind the counter didn't even acknowledge me as I stood right in front of him. I finally said hi and he asked how he could help. I told him I needed an oil change. He gruffly said, "We can get to it tomorrow." He wasn't friendly, not apologetic, and gave me the distinct impression that he really didn't give a care about my business. It was 4:15 on a Thursday, and they close at 6. I would have thought they could get me in, but even if they couldn't - there's no excuse for his behavior. I walked out and will never go back. There are plenty of oil change places out there that actually seem to care about their customers. read more

been going here for the past two years. no bullshit so far. great and honest staff. Checked my old car thoroughly. I'm confident it will make more miles read more

They call to tell me oil change is done. I go in and he says $32.96 I say why so cheap? Did you do the full synthetic? He pauses, stammers and prints a new receipt $55.58. He gives the mechanic a new sticker to put in my window. I ask him are you sure? I pay $55.58 and leave feeling very little trust that I got what I paid for. I would have been fine if he said oops we did regular, but I feel switching the receipt and sticker tells the story. What do you think? I will know for sure if my car's notification tells me it's ready for an oil change in 3,000 miles or 5,000 miles. read more

Always a great place to go! Treat you like family and do a very good job explaining things :)

100% recommend this place. I was having car problems and they were able to help. Great service, prices and people. Thanks Ray & Rod!!

Mike More Miles is THE place to go for all car repairs. I've been a customer since 2017 when we moved to St Charles. Always happy. Our dealer quoted me rotors and pads for $1,500 saying it had to be done tomorrow or I might drive off the road. Got second option for $975 at Mike More Miles and they said we need to take care of it in the next few months. read more

I've been taking my car here for oil changes and general check ups for about a year. They make it very easy to schedule whatever you need and no pressure to do things that you might not need. I feel like they are honest with diagnostics and recommendations. I also feel pricing is very fair. The waiting area has a heavy duty air filter machine and everything is covid safe. I'll be using this place as my go to for auto upkeep and issues. read more

My car would not start. I was convinced the starter was dead, but later learned it's because I turn the wheel too hard when parking. In any case I stopped in at MMM and they correctly told me there was no problem with my starter and didn't charge me a thing after having a couple of their mechanics check it out. I was so grateful and will return here when I do have a problem. read more

I take my car here and they always take good care of me and work within my budget. It was raining today and they pulled my car up so the driver's door was close to the door. Small things but great guys! read more

Awesome and honest service! Took two cars in for oil changes and mentioned that the brakes on one of them were grinding a bit. Ken and team performed a brake inspection and reported back that the brakes were fine and that it was probably just the salt/snow/slush buildup from the winter weather causing them to be a little noisy. Two thumbs up! read more

I took my car into the shop for their 30,000 mileage maintenance package that they offer. It's listed on the board in the picture at the bottom ...it's partially obscured in the pic but it is their most expensive package ..$479. It's their most comprehensive package. Listed under the services included with this package is transmission fluid flush/replacement. My car has about 60k miles on it. They also said they would give it good overall check up to make sure everything looks good. When they were done and I was collecting receipt the service representative at front desk went over with me what they did. He said they changed all my fluids . I asked him "did you change my transmission fluid". He said "ummm .. no". I asked "why not?". He told me ..."because it's not due for that yet ". I asked him "when is it due?". He said after pause .."100k miles". All of this was said under a condescending tone . Like I'm an idiot and I should stop asking dumb questions . I asked him "what about the transfer case fluid ?". He said "that's for 4 wheel drive ." I said "but it's also for all wheel drive" . He said "it's not due for that ." I go home and I looked at my invoice again, and it said they changed transmission fluid . I called them and asked about it . He said he forgot to cross that off. I went to dealer a couple weeks later because I felt uncomfortable with my experience. The dealership showed me the manufacturer recommendation for maintenance is 42k for transmission fluid and transfer case fluid . They showed me the fluid for each of them and they were both black . In summary , MIKE charged me for something they did not do . It is clearly listed under the package on the board . They were disingenuous. And they didn't do complete car exam which they said they would do . My differential fluid was also black . read more

I have been going to Mike for nearly 20 years. The service has always been great, they have offered knowledge and help every engagement. I totally trust them fully. They have serviced nearly a dozen of my cars over the years, all lasted well over 150k miles before it was time to put them to rest. One of the great issue is that I am moving and I can't take them with me, trust is important when dealing with your auto, these guys have it fully. read more

Adam and his team went above and beyond for me and my Tahoe!! First the guys took care of us before a snow storm quickly. Our battery then died and they changed that quickly! Because of our extreme weather the battery needed to be replaced. They came out jumped it checked it and replaced it. All with kindness, Thank you so much!! read more

So very pleased with the level of care that goes into taking care of cars! Mike, Ken and team are so honest and professional. Problems are all identified so you are aware of anything that may pop up later. Mike (and team) help identify things that need to be taken care of or things that may be able to wait a bit. They are honest and care for customers as well as make repairs affordable! read more

Today my sister and I were taking my disabled elderly mother to a doctors appointment when it was discovered that our wheelchair accessible van had a gas tank leak. I immediately took the van to Mike's More Miles on Lincoln Highway in St. Charles. Everyone should consider using Mike's for their mechanical needs. They are trustworthy and do a good job. Our day would of ended a lot differently, if we didn't stop at Mike's. read more

These guys are great, they will never steer you wrong. Honest, knowledgeable and reasonable. Highly Recommend.

actually you don't have zero stars so that's what the rating is give your crew and business. my adoptive son came in for an oil change on a car he had just purchased. both technichia and manager signed off on the work done. they must have been high or asleep because they should have told him or at least had a conversation about the fact that wasn't even drivable. i ecxpect an apology on my son's behalf and fir the fact you let him leave with a dangerous car. he was so proud to get this new car on his own and I'm disgusted with you're manager who didn't manage and the technician that didn't do his job. my name is Douglas ritchey. i would appreciate a phone call from your business. I have no qualms about going to your corporate headquarters with the issue. my number is 7799397462. i will be waiting for you to follow through thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to speak with you about this matter. read more

Those guys are the best ever! Great service, customer service, unbelievable pricing and have knowledge of all vehicles! Won't go anywhere else. read more

The staff member working on the vehicle was professional and pleasant and helped us to get our car in quick. However; the store manager, Ken, was swearing and belittling another customer over the phone to another co-worker in an open customer seating area. Listening to that makes it that I would never return to this place. That was a conversation that should have been taken in a back room. It was very inappropriate and unprofessional business practice. I will certainly be taking my business elsewhere in the future. read more
