The diagnosis was fast and he changed the battery for a lot cheaper than car-x. I think he's quite honest and a good mechanics.

I recently went to Casey Automotive to get my car's breaks replaced. My husband often gets his car…read moreserviced here, but I was equally blown away! With a job that sometimes has me traveling around the burbs, my breaks were in need of replacement. I called in the morning and they were able to fit my car in and finish it same day! We had a $120 off coupon that expired end of Feb but they still acknowledged it. It was easy for them to send me an estimate to my phone, texts when my car was ready for pick up, and allowed payment via text link or in person. Will was very professional and nice during the whole experience! They are ASE Certified and a AAA Approved Repair Vendor. Tip: Casey Automotive is one of the few in Illinois to receive the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence! Their mechanics are top notch so you can trust them when in need of car servicing!

These guys do good and honest work for a pretty decent price. A couple of minor gripes…read more.. 1. I was told first come, first serve in the mornings. I pulled in the lot a half hour before they open (open at 7:30am). Even in a blizzard, there are folks lining up outside the door 10+ minutes before they open. With a handicap, you might not be able to stand in line for 20 minutes. It would be a great thing to have some number system or way to make an appointment (where that doesn't evolve into a half day thing for an oil change). 2. The parking lot is always choked full of cars. And driving in circles to find a spot isn't the easiest in this lot. Still, this is a great place in terms of value and quality of work.

These guys were amazing! The price was extremely reasonable especially compared to the dealership…read more I went in that morning, they ordered parts, and finished the job all in a few hours. They were super communicative before during and after the job. Would highly recommend!

R&M Performance is hands down the best shop in Illinois…read more Honesty, integrity, and transparency are what I value most in the people I do business with--and Rei and Mark truly embody all of these qualities. From the beginning, Rei set the tone by reviewing my project thoroughly, being upfront about costs, and even asking follow-up questions to make sure his team could deliver the work at the highest standard. That professionalism was my first green flag. Mark handled the work on my car and went above and beyond my request. I asked for before-and-after photos to help me track carbon buildup for future maintenance, and not only did he deliver, he provided even more detail than expected. The results spoke for themselves: No more idling during cold starts, City MPG improved from 24-26 to 30-32, when I first bought the car off the showroom floor I was so impressed with the quality and transparency that I immediately scheduled additional maintenance and performance upgrades. It's worth noting that I drive from Libertyville to Palatine--often during rush hour--because the service, professionalism, and results at R&M Performance are far beyond anything else I've experienced. The distance and traffic are never a concern when I know my car is in such capable hands. The service was so good, I even brought in my wife's car. That alone should tell you everything. If you are looking for quality, professionalism, honesty, and reliability, I HIGHLY recommend R&M Performance.

I started using AW Auto Repair about 18 months ago on the recommendation of a friend who takes all…read moreof his vehicles -- both business and personal -- there. Michelle and Rick and Jim could not be any nicer, competent and agreeable. I'll admit that I am kind of a high maintenance customer, calling repeatedly to check the status, costs, etc., but they never make me feel like a nuisance! My most recent with them came experience on 1/10/15, I had been having trouble with my car for a few months -- unreliable heat, some shakiness on acceleration, etc. but on this day, I was on my way to the store early morning when my car started smoking from every orifice -- hood, tail, smoke even coming in to the car. Temperature gage shot way up to red, heater started blowing ice cold air and the windows were covered in a layer of frost. Re-routed to go straight to AW! When they tried to start my car and bring it in to the shop to take a look, it would not even start. At this point, I cleaned out the car (2005, 120K mile Honda) and made arrangements to borrow a car from my parents until I could go out and get a new one. Figured Michelle would be calling me with an astronomical repair cost and I would just take whatever I could get for parts. THREE DAYS LATER I picked up my car -- paid the $300 needed to replace a part and happily drove off in a vehicle that was driving like a new car! These guys are seriously top-notch!

If you want an auto repair service that you can trust to do a great job for a fair price, AW Auto…read moreRepair is that place. I now feel confident that I have my go to auto service experts! Thank you, AW, for another job well done!!

I had to change my review from 5 to 1 star on google. I've been coming here for 7 plus years and…read moreloved how honest and good they were. When j heard rumors they were doing downhill I ignored it because I didn't have any issues with them till today. I called to get my oil change and was told to come today after 5pm for their special deal. I asked to make an appointment and was told no. I got there and they worked on it, but while waiting I asked how much will it be and the front lady who stated she is new didn't know the price depending on the oil. I thought it was weird as my last oil change was 43 dollars after I just checked. When the kid comes out to talk to me he states there is a leak and stops talking. I said yeah and? And he stated he is not a mechanic and doesn't know where it is coming from or what to do but to have me come back when their mechanic is in. I thought that was even weirder. THEN they are charging me 75 dollars for and OIL change. I asked them to pull up my previous tickets and she looked for 2 seconds and said she cannot find it. I had her call her manager and she said that's the price. I called midas and they are charging 40. They blamed the cost of oil. I literally said if I knew this was their special price id have just done it today on my day off myself. The front end girl and the non mechanic need to be trained better and should not state idk I'm not a mechanic while you are working on my car. Idk what happened but this place went to hell. And to clarify my car uses a synthetic(don't know if I spelled it correctly) blend which is the cheaper kind. We will be no longer recommending this place and going to another mechanic who is an actual mechanic. I am leaving a review on each platform so people can see this is not the same place it use to be.
