I took my car in to have my brakes and exhaust system examined. I had been experiencing some stuttering with my breaking. I could hear the exhaust system was no longer performing its intended purpose. They determined that my entire exhaust system needed to be replaced as well as a good bit of work that was needed on the brakes. These two jobs were not inexpensive, but I give them enormous credit for being very fair with their pricing and extremely pleasant to work with. I'm very happy with the work that was done and the friendly, personal interaction with Mike (The owner?) read more

These guys are seriously the best. Let's start with experience. I've know Mike from when he was at the local gas station at the corner of Waukegan and Lake Cook (yes, Joe Booth's old Standard Station), then for years he was at the station in the center of Deerfield, now for year Mike & Mike have run what I would say is one of the most reputable places to get a car worked on. These guys will tell you what's wrong with your car, tell you what they can fix and tell you what to skip or is not in their areas of experience. Just had my wife's car worked on there and my mothers-in-law's car looked over. Save me hundreds over dealer prices and again trusted people. read more

I spent over 1000 dollars having them assemble and install a suspension, and it was done incorrectly. Not only did I have to pay to have the job done over again, but 300 dollars worth of parts were ruined in the process that I also had to pay to have re-installed. While this was still ongoing, i presented mike with research and information that indicated how the parts were installed wrong, and he didn't listen to me. He just talked over me like I was an idiot. Well, it turns out Mike was the idiot because after going to a different garage it turned out the parts were installed wrong. On top of that, there were parts of the suspension that were totally disconnected. As well as a radiator leak that left my coolant system empty and bolts missing from motor mount that Mike completely neglected to tell me about Leading up to this point, I brought my car there ALOT. Considering how much I spent there, you think he could have let me know my coolant system was leaking and my motor mount was falling off. They're cheap but you get what you pay for and will end up spending more money fixing their mistakes read more

Excellent customer service was provided. A very honest repair shop. They repaired and replaced the flex pipe on my car. They ordered the parts needed and performed the repair ar a reasonable price. read more

If I could rate them, six stars, I would. The battery in my Hyundai ELANTRA went bad. I brought it to Mike and Mike. Mike S. called me after about 45 minutes to give me a heads up about the price for the battery, saying he didn't want me to suffer from sticker shock when I walked back in. It was a very thoughtful gesture. He also noted in the phone call that he had to call around to a few places to finally find the right battery. There was no charge for labor, and the price for the battery was consistent with what I found online. The work is always reliable and professional. I would not think of bringing my car anywhere else. read more

Mike and Mike are true gentleman who charge a fair price. In my last encounter my car was fixed and I was charged close to nothing compared to other surrounding repair shops. They used a spare part to fix a battery connection draining my car. Who is this fair and equitable in this day and age??? It's extremely rare and refreshing! I was blown away and extremely grateful! Thank you gents and you have earned my business now and in the future! read more

Excellent customer service. Honest & trustworthy. I will only bring our cars here from now on!

SO helpful. Didn't have an appointment but had an urgent question just hours before going on a 9 hour road trip. I was listened to and helped immediately. read more

My parents have been going to Deerfield Garage for years. I took my car to the dealer for an oil change and they told me I needed over $1,000 in other repairs; my parents said nope, call Mike and Mike. I called and said I wanted to know how necessary these repairs actually were. I brought my car in and showed him the list, he said I MAYBE needed an air filter (the cheapest item on the list) but he would check it all out. Mike called a few hours later and said all done, no repairs as the air filter was fine so he put it back. These guys are honest, reasonably priced, and I will be back for all of my car service. read more

I took my car in to get my wheel bearing replaced. I get a call from Mike that he broke my ABS sensor in the process. He told me he would not charge me for it since he broke it during the "melee," as he put it, and to bring it back so he could put the new ABS sensor in. I proceeded to take the car back in so he could replace the ABS sensor as we discussed. I then get a call from him after the work was completed saying that he decided to charge me for the ABS sensor that he admittedly broke. After being a loyal customer for years, I will never do business with him again. read more

I wish I had found this place before I took my car to Carx for an oil change. Carx told me I needed to replace the air filter as well as Toyota on my previous oil change. I made an appointment at Deerfield Garage to have a new air filter put in and Frank explained that my air filter was fine and I didn't need to replace it until I reached 30,000 miles. I really appreciated Frank's honesty at Deerfield garage and will be bringing my car to them for any future maintenance. Thank you for being an upstanding and honest business. read more

This is not a good place to bring your car. There used to be absolutely no customer service. They just do not care at all about their customers. They referred me to North Shore Collision in Highland Park which I would never recommend either. They seem to work together. North Shore Collision gave me my car back with a concave right wheel that was not straight. It was extremely noticeable. Apparently they gave my car to Just Tires for alignment which is not a good place. It should have gone to Deerfield Garage. To many people were driving my car without my permission . Now the door is scratched badly. Where was the quality control? Why would any car be given to anyone this way is beyond me. Deerfield Garage told me it was the knuckle. They have no idea when the part will come in or when it will be fixed since there are customers ahead of me. I told them that I am picking up my car and cannot be without a car again. It has been weeks. They would call me when the part came in. North Shore Collision should have rented me a car. This was their fault and they refused. Deerfield Garage knew I was coming. I had to walk a very long walk in the heat to get there. I am a senior. This was not easy and took longer than expected. At 4:20 I was calling and calling them leaving many messages telling them where I was and not to close. I finally got someone to answer the phone and the call dropped. They never called me back. They could see how many times J called and all the messages. I called back immediately and again nobody answered. I got there at 4:35. They close at 4:30. All the doors were locked and I had no idea where my car was. Who does this to a person? This was so cruel and mean. I would never recommend anyone going here. It is a bad place. They truly do not care about their customers. I was hoping someone would pick up the messages over the weekend but nobody did. With all the messages I left, don't you think someone could have waited 5 minutes for me? Again, they knew I was coming. I would NEVER recommend them to anyone. They are not to be trusted. read more

I wanted to take a few minutes to give a huge shout out to Deerfield Garage. We have had our family vehicles serviced there for several years now and are so happy to have found this hidden gem. Mike and Mike are hardworking and honest mechanics. Recently, we brought my SUV to have them look into a weird sound. I feared this would be a costly repair, but after looking over the vehicle Mike advised that it was just a bit of rust and it will wear off after a little time. He didn't even charge us for labor! read more

Mike and Mike are the best and most honest mechanics I've ever met. They've helped me with my cars for over 15 years. Highly recommend to everyone to go to mike and Mike! read more

It's a rare feeling when you can find a garage that you trust. Mike and Mike are the best. They were recommended to me by numerous people - that says something. Everyone in the shop is always friendly, fun to talk to and sweet to my kid when she comes with. Not to mention quality work! Not taking my wheels anywhere else. read more

Mike & Mike are by far the most honest mechanics I have used. I have had nothing but good experiences with both of them. I have always been talked through the issues & solutions, and more importantly they have let me know what it wouldn't be worth doing to my old rusty truck. This time around the total ended up being more than the quote - even though I said that was fine Mike honored and only charged me what he quoted despite me offering to pay the full total regardless. read more

My car's engine light came on while I was out of town. I got a referral to Mike at Deerfield Garage. I got there around noon and by 4 I had a new catalytic converter. Mike gave me an estimate and was true to his word. I was expecting to leave the car for a couple days and have to rent a car to go home and come back. Instead, he had it done by 4 and I had my car by the end of the day. I highly recommend Mike at Deerfield Garage. I have a place I like where I live. But if I ever need work done again while I'm in this area I'm coming back here, no questions about it. Thanks Mike! And thanks to my friends who referred me!! read more

Great service, Great Prices. Mike is wonderful and honest man. This was my first time visiting and I will definitely be coming back. I will be recommending Mike and Deerfield Garage to all of my friends and family. read more

I was hesitant to review this place because it's such a gem that I wanted to keep it to myself... but this is truly one of the best auto repair places I've ever visited. So honest and clear. Great prices. Super fast! All great things :) read more

This locally located small car repair shop is my first choice for all my auto care needs. All the guys are real professionals with many years of experience. The most important part of this shop- it's CLEAN! I love it and will definitely recommend it! read more

Took my car in for air conditioner [AC] recharge and front breaks. Was told I needed new compressor for my AC for $1,500 +/- and $450 for breaks. My car is 17 years old. I told them forget the service. I picked the car up and the AC was working like new. My exhaust manifold / muffler was broken and now my car sounds like a motorcycle. Get a second opinion before you let these guys service your car. read more

The most honest mechanics I know. I've been going to Mike for 10 years without issue.

Had an issue with the engine light. Mike looked at the car and ran a quick diagnostic. Took five minute and nothing serious wrong. Didn't change me for the diagnostic. read more

Outstanding fast service! I wouldn't take my car to anyone else. Trust is hard to come by when it comes to cars. I didn't have a big budget and they worked with me. Thank God. Angels! Thanks Deerfield Garage!!! read more

Absolutely Best in the business. I own FIT Boutique nearby and always recommend Deerfield Garage to our clients and friends. Both Mikes are extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable. They have worked on my cars and clients cars. Never had an issue and or heard of an issue. Very fair pricing. Can't say enough good things about them! Highly recommend. Thanks - Jim read more

There isn't a better auto place than this, anywhere! Mike and Mike are great to work with and the pricing is always fair! Have used them for all of our cars for years! Thank you! read more

I am in Iowa and my daughter broke down in Deerfield, IL. I contact them. The service manager listened to my predicament with being 3 hours away. We reviewed what was wrong and he offered a couple of quick easy solutions. When those didn't work he gave me the number of a tow service,?who came and got the car to his shop very reasonable price. They got the car started and explained everything to my daughter on what was the problems. His estimate was more than fair. He was kind and knowledgeable. The shop is clean and very reasonably priced. Full stars, 2 thumbs up and whatever too kudos. He did right by us! Thank you! read more

Always have a great experience at Deerfield Garage. Mike F. was incredibly responsive when I called to set up and confirm the appt. In addition, called right away with the estimate and kept me informed as parts were ordered and completion timeline. I highly recommend Deerfield Garage as a trusted resource for quality auto service and repair in our community. Al B. read more

I've been going to these guys for five years and I can't recommend them more highly. Both Mikes are a pleasure to work with, reliable, trustworthy and fast. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Our family has been using Deerfield Garage for over 30 years. Honest and sincere people who treat customers right. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Good honest folks and great service, the kind of service that you just don't get at those big name shops. Oil change is a lot cheaper than anywhere else I've taken my cars to and the guys at Deerfield Garage don't try and sell me on new transmission fluid or air filters everytime I take my vehicles in. These guys are about as straight forward as it gets, they won't do work unless it's absolutely necessary for your vehicle and if they encounter something that is in need of attention they will call you before making any additional repairs. Good guys, my family has been taking their vehicles to Deerfield Garage since we moved up here more than 20 years ago and I continue to bring my vehicle and my work vehicles to Deerfield Garage because I trust them to do the job right the first time and not try and sucker me into any services that I don't need. read more

After a recommendation from my neighbor ...... A small garage tucked away in a corner of industrial park, took me a couple of times to figure out how to get in there, but worth the time. The business has no fancy extras like loaner cars, they only have a drop box for early drop off. This reminds me of the old school garages where they tell up front the important repairs first and provide recommendations that will not impend with car performance. Went in with a check engine and only cost $86 but recommend other repairs (4) worth $1,000 which will be done at a later time. read more

Took my Mercedes to the Deerfield Garage from a recommendation, They were up front and very knowledgeable. Mike and his staff repaired the problem whereas the dealership couldn't. 6 STARS to Deerfield Garage, great job read more

Unfortunately the car the Deerfield Garage staff had been keeping on life support for the last 4 years had its time finally come. This business throughout those years was helpful above and beyond any normal expectations, from making recommendations that didn't make them as much money as they could possibly charge to pinching corners when my wallet needed it. I never felt like they charged me unfairly, and were a 180° improvement over the national competitor located in their own parking lot. I enthusiastically recommend the Deerfield Garage. read more

I have been using Deerfield Garage for 25 years, Mike and Norm are honest, professional and always complete my vehicles maintenance or repairs on time, there pricing is fair for the work. When a repair is going to be more than expected, they call before proceeding to explain the costs. I never had a problem with the completed work and my cars are always ready when they tell me. The shop is clean and they have a key drop for after hours. These guys are honest and when I have them check out brakes or other maintenance items many times they tell me the work is not yet needed. I trust them and when they tell me it has to be fixed then I have them take care of it. I rely on their expertise and honesty. I recommend them to my family and friends. I bring all my vehicles to Deerfield Garage. Keep up the great work. Joel Boyer read more

Great service! Took my car in for some brake work in which "a certain car chain" wanted to rip me off. Went here per a referral , and so happy I did. Timely and courteous. I'll for be back for all future car issues! read more

Mike squeezed me in on a busy morning to patch my leaky tire. I was in and out in 15 minutes. My parents have used this garage for 20+ years. We've had other things taken care of (or not, when they told us it didn't need to be done) and always appreciate the honest service. read more

I was very pleased when I went to the shop. I found the owner extremely trustworthy and honest. Was a relief when I saw the bill, which is so rare with car repair! read more

Mike Simi, formerly of Deerfield Exxon has joined Deerfield Garage. My wife and I have been taking our cars to Mike for over 25 years and think he is the best. Mike knows what he is doing and is very honest, friendly and professional. Icing on the cake is that his prices are reasonable. He will tell you that is too early for major repairs, etc. Could not recommend him more highly. read more

I could not remove my old, rusted-on license plates (needed to mount new plates that I received from the State). I poked my head into Deerfield Garage and an older gentleman came out and quickly drilled them out and installed my new plates Lickety split. At no charge!! Fantastic, he didn't have to do that. (I gave him whatever few dollars cash that I had in my pocket.) He was a BIG help. I work right nearby, so if I need service or future repairs, I will stop here. The sense I get is that this is a very reputable mechanic who runs a good shop. I would come here first if you need service and are in the area. read more
