We had just purchased new tires, but I went against my gut and did not take it somewhere else for a second opinion. I ended up selling the car to the owner for $300 and gave him the title. About a month ago, I started receiving calls from someone saying I was still listed as the owner and that the car had been impounded. It turned into a whole situation. The person who had the car was an elderly gentleman who said he had bought it from them, but he had no proper paperwork and did not seem to fully understand what had happened. My name was somehow still on the title even though I had thought I had signed it over. I had to go speak with the police an hour away from my homr and help this man get the car out of impound because it was his only means of transportation and he is elderly. Meanwhile, I left repeated messages for the owner of Forest Park and never received a call back. No explanation. No help. No accountability. This was extremely frustrating and, honestly, upsetting. Based on my experience, I do not find this business to be honest or honorable. I strongly recommend steering clear and taking your vehicle somewhere else.

I've been extremely satisfied with the service...... I will never trust my vehicle with anybody else.... I had a few noises going on in the front of the vehicle and I had it at another mechanic prior to bringing it to H&R .I was charged over 1500 sway bar And control arm repairs And I was still hearing the noise. Had to bring it back there because they did the first repairs. Then they told me it was a transmission mount which is another 500 .... And I still heard the noise, i was done... I decided to bring it to Forest Park.. where they inspected the vehicle to see what the problem was. And it was my brakes and calipers.. so I do believe experience allows you to know what you're looking for in my opinion...

If you care about your car, your time, and your money, DO NOT take your vehicle to H&R Auto and Towing. Their complete incompetence, dishonesty, and negligence have cost me months of frustration and thousands of dollars--and they have refused to take responsibility for their terrible work. Botched Repairs From Day One In June 2024, I hit an object on the highway, which destroyed my transmission and bent my subframe. My insurance covered the repairs, and I--unfortunately--trusted H&R Auto with the job. That was the biggest mistake I could have made. It took them three months to return my car. Immediately, issues started popping up, forcing me to bring the car back multiple times over the next three months to fix things they should have done correctly the first time. Instead of using quality parts, they cut corners at every opportunity, installing junkyard parts without properly inspecting or replacing necessary components. H&R's Negligence Leads to Catastrophic Failure In November 2024, my transfer case completely failed due to H&R's failure to properly install or replace the seals between it and the transmission. Fred's Garage, a well-respected and trustworthy shop, inspected the damage and confirmed that H&R either installed the seals incorrectly or didn't replace them at all. I had no choice but to take it back to H&R, and they claimed to have fixed it. But when I took my car back to Fred's for an inspection, they found a new transmission leak--meaning H&R STILL didn't do the job right. At this point, I could no longer trust H&R with my vehicle, so I paid $2,303.26 out of pocket to have Fred's Garage fix their mistakes. That's money I should never have had to spend if H&R had done their job properly. Refusal to Take Responsibility I sent H&R a formal demand letter requesting reimbursement for the money I had to spend due to their gross incompetence and negligence. They have ignored it. No response. If they respond in the next few days I will consider changing or removing this review. I am escalating this issue by: Filing a formal complaint with the Illinois Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division I may take legal action to recover my costs Making sure everyone knows how they operate by posting this review everywhere I can Do Yourself a Favor - GO ELSEWHERE There are plenty of reputable mechanics out there--H&R Auto and Towing is NOT one of them. If you value your car, stay far away.

Only downside to Pepboys is they didn't have enough seating for people waiting on their cars and they didn't have wipes so I could wipe down my steering wheel when it was returned (Midas did this for me so maybe I was just lucky).

When you ask for a manager, they point fingers to avoid confrontation, and no one cares. There's no apology, or offer to correct the problem.

Meineke on Madison is so much friendlier, more professional, and appreciative of your business, while offering better or same pricing. If you are looking for a car repair shop that will treat you courteously and professionally, and NOT as a necessary pain the staff needs to go through as part of the day, just skip this Pep Boys location.
