I'm a guy who only takes his cars to a shop when I need a front-end alignment. Otherwise, I do all…read moremy own automotive repairs. My daughter lives in the city and she brought her car out to me because her steering wheel wasn't "straight" and she was hearing a noise sometimes when she turned. I drove the car and couldn't recreate the noise she was hearing after circling around a parking lot for ~10 minutes. I made an appointment with Lindberg Automotive (after getting a referral to them from a friend) to get her car's front-end aligned. We dropped the car with the owner, Doug Lindberg, who is as personable guy as you'd ever want to meet. Doug called me after a few hours to have me come back over and look at the car because he felt additional work was definitely required. We got under the vehicle together, and I concurred with the issues he and his technician identified. Doug kept the vehicle overnight so his technician could make the necessary repairs, and I can't tell you how happy I was with the result. My daughter was also overjoyed with how her car drove. I could have taken the vehicle home and done the repairs myself (albeit much, much slower), but I was under a major time crunch given my daughter needed to get to work and home every day in the city. I trusted Doug to get the job done, and it was done quickly, accurately, and at a very reasonable price. I will be recommending Lindberg Automotive to anyone I know who needs a top-shelf, trustworthy shop for automotive repairs. I also told Doug that I'd be back whenever I had a repair I couldn't handle on my own. I love knowing I have a shop I can trust to do the job right if I need them.

Diagnosed problem immediately, explained the fix. Was complete next day under estimate of service!read more

I took my 1953 Buick Super over to Mundelein Automotive. My steering felt "loose". Rob and Rick…read morechecked everything out for me and made an adjustment to the steering box worm gear. The steering doesn't feel as loose as it did. Rob assured me that these classics all have some play in the wheel. I just found my new mechanics! I would recommend them to anyone looking for prompt, friendly service for new or classic cars.

An oil-filter gasket blew out on my car, and I had Mundelein Automotive evaluate it since it…read moreoccurred just down the block from them. I have come to learn an event like that (rather clearly) points to a faulty oil-pressure regulator/relief valve or related oil pump issue--not just a loose or improperly installed filter as they advised me. And they advised me as such despite the fact the filter was installed nearly 6 months ago and had been just fine with no leaks. They simply blamed it on my usual mechanic for somehow "crushing" the gasket during installation at my last oil change, even though it would be nearly impossible for a filter to contain oil pressure for that long (if at all) if the gasket was somehow pushed outside of its groove during install. Every other mechanic I've discussed this with as I shopped around for engine replacement quotes has said as much, that this was obviously the result of an oil pressure spike caused by a faulty oil pump / pressure release valve, and warranted a far more thorough inspection beyond degreasing the engine bay and replacing the filter. Mundelein Automotive did not perform (or explain) a hot mechanical oil-pressure test, did not caution me against driving until pressure was verified, and did not advise checks for timing correlation/chain tensioner health that depend on proper oil pressure. The timing chain tensioner, along with other critical engine components, are hydraulically operated. And if they don't get proper oil pressure, the engine can (and did) self-destruct. I was told it was fine to continue driving. Result: The car drove okay until suddenly after ~150-200 miles when the engine rapidly went from a light tick to harsh clunking while on the expressway, and then failed. I'm now facing an engine replacement. Why this matters: A reasonable diagnostic path here would have included (1) verifying actual oil pressure with a mechanical gauge, (2) confirming correct oil-filter spec and ruling out a stuck pressure-relief valve, and (3) listening/scanning for early timing-chain correlation faults. At a minimum, I should have been clearly warned not to drive until oil pressure was verified. None of that happened for me. Bottom line: Friendly people, but in my case the critical diagnostics and communication fell short, and I paid the price. I won't be back, and I can't recommend them at all. Their substandard expertise and attention to detail has resulted in me being out the cost of installing an entirely new engine.
