I'm relatively new to the Mundelein area, and I can not tell you how much relief it is to find your…read more'place.' My wife's 2018 VW Passat was burning about 5qts of oil every thousand miles, and only warm air blew on the driver's side of her vehicle. The entire time we have owned this car, it has only been serviced at VW dealerships. When she got her last oil change at VW, I asked about the high oil consumption, and the answer I received was that the car just does that now. It's old, so it will burn more oil. If VW is telling me this, I could not help but accept this as fact. With the weather turning cold, I brought her car to somewhere closer to home to address the heating issue. I selected Mundelein Tire and Service via Yelp based on the reviews and proximity. I explained the problems and dropped the car off at 8 a.m. I dealt with Steve, who was very personable, professional, and an excellent communicator. When I picked up my vehicle at 4 p.m. the same day, I spoke with Steve and talked to the mechanic who worked on my car. I was treated with a show and tell of the parts removed from my car and immediately felt I brought my vehicle to the right place. The excessive oil consumption issue was addressed by replacing a faulty PCV valve/oil separator. My spark plugs were also coated in oil due to the faulty PCV valve. The passenger side temperature control actuator that directs the airflow on the passenger side was completely seized. When I received my car, I was shocked by the immediate difference in how it drove. We had been driving with diminished power for so long that we had just gotten used to the lack of acceleration. The day before I brought the vehicle in, I had added 5 quarts of oil. Instead of charging me for an oil change, Steve suggested I just change the oil filter. Overall, my car is driving like new again, and the cabin is nice and toasty inside. I received a greatly appreciated discount on the labor due to my military service. I have found where I will bring my vehicle for all my repairs and maintenance needs. Thank you again to Steve and the team; you've earned my appreciation and business for the foreseeable future.

I needed to get an oil change and the prices are decent here while the service is pretty good so I knew I wouldn't go anywhere else. While changing my oil, Dan and the tech, Nikolai, were able to find some other issues including my brakes, egr valve gasket and camshaft plug. They were honest with me regarding what they found and gave me a decent price without tryin to run me up which I appreciated. Overall, they did a great job with my car and they didn't try to push unnecessary work to be done on my car. I will continue to use them and I would highly recommend everyone else to as well. Shoutout to Nikolai and Dan--thanks for taking care of my car.

They have a reasonable labor rate and I noticed that they don't typically have overruns on the labor that some other shops do have. Also they will allow you to order your own parts from summit racing or JEGs and will review the order before you finalize to ensure proper parts abs fitment. I was impressed with the phone communication and that they were able to diagnose a problem that eluded the dealership. Also they like older corvettes and it shows as they know them and are willing to help out with restoration plan. They are worth checking out if you need a trustworthy mechanic in the area.

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.

They took my car in with late notice Tuesday morning, had it fixed and back on the road by Tuesday afternoon so I could get to my new job on Wednesday morning. Wednesday when I was driving home from work, I started hearing an awful hissing sound behind the dash. The shop had already closed by the time I would have been making my call so I didn't know exactly what to do. I decided to meet them at the shop when it opened this morning because the guys were so good about getting the previous repair done. I was dreading the thought of having to pay for a second repair in such a short time period (but trust me, that is my luck), and I had resigned myself to that being my reality. I just talked with Jamie at the shop and he said they will be covering the expense for the second repair because they are convinced they should have seen the damage yesterday. I was absolutely elated! Thank goodness for the guys at Mundelein Automotive!
