Benak is the best! We were on our way out of town and noticed we had a nail in our tire. We called over to see if they could fix it and they had it done in 30 minutes. I know they were busy so fitting us in last minute was so appreciated. Kevin and all of the staff are always very friendly and willing to help out, especially when you're in a jam. And their work is top notch. I can't say enough good things about Benak! read more

Simply the best. I've brought my cars there a few times and every time they have been open, communicative, extremely fast, affordable, and plain great. Couldn't recommend enough. Thanks Benak! read more

I highly recommend Benak for all your car service needs. They are honest, reliable, efficient and fairly priced. Mike was able to save me a substantial amount from the original quote by saving a part instead of replacing it. They are the best! read more

Great place to get your car serviced! I had my Honda serviced here twice and it was a breeze. Friendly, professional service that's prompt, priced right and honest. They won't do any work that's not needed and they have early and while-you-wait appointment times available. read more

Have been using Benak for 20 years. It provides a small town, personal environment with up-to-date, professional service.

I've been going to Benak for over 20yrs now. I trust them very much with all vehicles. They have always let me know ahead of time on cost before any repairs are done. They have always been very convenient and easy to get our vehicles checked. Highly recommend read more

Recently moved into the area about a year ago and when my wife's car decided it wouldn't start one morning; we found this place quickly through its 5-Star reviews on both yelp and google. Reviews don't lie! This place is quick, honest, and these guys are nice. Couldn't of asked for a better shop to live down the street from. read more

If there could be six stars, I would give them. These people are simply superb. They have been my service company for over 20 years and always done a great job. They deliver on time, and on or below budget. read more

Have been going here for years! The repairs are always spot on, and the staff is fabulous! Keep up the great work :)

I've taken my cars here for the past five years. Everyone is always respectful, and they never try to sell me anything I don't need. I had a couple of big repairs on my old, beat up Volvo over the years, and they even sent me a thank you card! Their prices are competitive and their customer service is really, really great. I'll be taking my new (to me) car here for sure!! read more

Benak's has provided me w/ years of great, trustworthy service at reasonable prices. How often do you find a mechanic who will tell you that you need less work (ie: you'll spend less $$) than you anticipated. It has happened to me twice now. The staff is friendly, professional and trustworthy. read more

Mike Howard is the best auto repair customer service oriented business in the western suburban area.

Old school best freakin full service auto shop in Chicago. Places like this don't exist anymore. Honest - polite and an awesome blast from the past Service oriented from the time you walk in the door. read more

Excellent car care by a professional crew. Mike is as honest as the day is long. We never question Benak's recommendations or skill in accomplishing what has to be done. We are so fortunate to have Benak's in our neighboorhood. read more

My family has been going to Benaks for years. We can always count on Mike and the Benaks team to be completely honest and do a great job on our cars. They do great work on the cars and are very friendly and helpful when it comes to any issue from oil changes, to repairs, and more. Additionally, Mike remembers us every time we come in and is very helpful regarding any problem we have. Bottom line: The guys at Benak Service are very honest and I would trust them with any problem I might have with my car. read more

I clipped a curb and my tire pressure light came on...I called and they said to come on in, checked the pressure and filled the tires in about 3 minutes flat, and sent me on my way without letting me pay. With such friendly service, I will be back (as an actual paying customer!) read more

Drove from OH to IL and had a brake issue upon arrival. Benak's Manager Mike squeezed us in the next day even tho their work schedule was fully booked. Turns out we had a big brake issue... Benak's was able to fix everything and get car back same day. This is the second time Benak's helped us in an emergency. Highly recommend! read more

My car's battery was about to die one morning and I called Mike at Benak. I was hoping to get it fixed right away so I could still use the car but they were really backed up. He said to bring it in and they could fit it in and they did. Got me up and running in no time. I appreciate them letting me "cut in line" and they have a new customer for my next service. Seems like a great local shop with excellent service. thank you! read more

I was thoroughly impressed with their service. I walked in at 700 because I had a brake problem. They had me out by that afternoon even though I had not made an appointment. Very fair pricing. Good communication throughout the process. read more

Visiting my sister and her family for Thanksgiving in Western Springs , my car didn't start on Friday afternoon. Tried a jump... nothing. Called for roadside service and they asked where I wanted it towed. (They attempted to start it too with no luck). My brother-in-law quickly said Benak's as that's where they always take their car. So that's what we did. It was very late afternoon and they said they'd try to check it out first thing on Saturday morning. I was already planning to rent a car to get home. Got a call from Kevin around 9:00 that morning. Surprisingly the car started right up (multiple times) but they checked things out anyway. Saw no issues. They offered to keep it and check it out more thoroughly. I got home to Evanston with no problems. I'll call my dealer and watch things closely. But just wanted to give a big shout out to Kevin and the guys at Benak. Anyone in Western Springs would be silly to use anyone else for their car needs! read more

We have been loyal customers for years and years; we trust that they'll do a good job at a fair price and they do. Highly recommend them. read more

I've been taking my cars to Benak's for 20+ years. Always dependable, high-quality service with a smile. Prices are very competitive. Car always ready when promised. Super convenient as I work downtown and hop on the train. If you have to get your car serviced, this is the place. read more

I've been coming to Benak's for 21 years even though I no longer live in W.S. Once my cars left the dealer after I bought them they have never been back. I've had brakes, tune-ups, batteries, oil changes, tires and any needed maintenance done at Benak's. They are honest, competent, efficient and fairly priced. They are the best. What more is there? read more

I have a 17 year old car that had an engine light problem for the last few years. The car was fine but with the engine light on it would not pass the emissions test. They located an electrical issue, and fixed within the same day. A dealership mechanic previously "temporarily" fixed the problem. I learned my lesson. I will always trust Benak's in the future. read more

One of those places you just keep taking your vehicles to and don't question the work or the price. As for maintenance, excellent quality work and the labor / parts costs are competitive. Items like tires, wipers, and things of that nature are best shopped around. read more

Driving the BF to O'Hare on Labor Day, I blew out a tire. Not just a flat -- a full on rubber flying, smoke billowing, heart pumping, scary, in a construction zone (of course -- it's Chicago) with no shoulder blow out. Anyhow, after AAA came out to change the tire, my car was making a sickening clunking sound and my ABS light was illuminated on the dash. One quick call to Benak and I was in the next morning, early enough to catch the train and make it in to work on time. The guys at the shop are super nice, honest and efficient. I picked up my car later the same day with 2 new tires, a new ABS sensor and wire, front end alignment, and lug nuts to fit the spare (I have fancy pants after market tires - and yeah, I do believe fancy pants is the technical term) and some other car-type repair-y things taken care of. My car sounds normal -- huzzah -- and drives like a dream again. Plus, I'm kinda crushin' on one of the mechanics, David. read more

We have been loyal customers for years. The service is great. All the staff is friendly and professional. I love that they keep tract of our service...as far as when the tires were rotated, how old the battery is, etc. And when a problem comes up for us, like a nail in the tire 2 hours before a driving trip they alway are willing to help us out at the last minute. We are planning to move to the city, but we will take our cars there and train it back to the city for honest service. read more

I have used Beank's Auto for all my car repairs for 20+ years. Very convenient, reliable and honest. Highly recommend!

We've been using Benak's to service our cars for the past decade for considerable savings over Honda, Audi and Mercedes dealerships. We typically drive our cars to 100,000 miles and Benak's provides excellent care throughout our cars' lifecycles. Service has been timely and delivered as promised. It a pleasure to do business with such honest and nice people. read more

Kevin is terrific! This was my first time using Benak Service. I took in my Jeep Cherokee which is now out of warranty. Needed a routine 36,000 mile service. I know very little about cars so depend on the recommendations of the mechanic. Checked the price of a 36,000 mile routine service with 2 Jeep Dealers. One quoted about $1200. Another quoted about $500. Kevin performed a thorough inspection and called me before doing any work. He changed the oil and recommended tire rotation. The total cost was less than $50. I asked doing a few other things and he said since the car is running fine they are not needed. Kevin is courteous, honest and knowledgeable. All the qualities and more I look for in a mechanic. He has earned my business. read more

I was in the waiting room when the lady who posted a review on 1/22/14 came in for help. Everything she wrote in her review is absolutely true. The people in Benaks' Service are friendly, professional and go out of there way to help. I bring all my cars in for service and have for years. I will continue to have my cars serviced by Mike and his mechanics. read more

I trust these people. That is a lot to say about an auto repair shop. I am 64 and have been fooled many times by auto repair shops that fix things that do not need repair or diagnose the problem wrong and replace and repair parts of the car that are working fine. Their prices are fair and they back up their work. I have been a faithful customer for about 5 years now and they service 3 autos in my household. read more
