    PW Auto Clinic - Building

    PW Auto Clinic

    Had a couple of issues with my car and had to bring it in wondering what was wrong. Trent one of…read moretheir key technicians looked it over and fixed everything wrong with my car. It's not easy trying to find a great mechanic but it's also not easy to find have great customer service to go along with it. I strongly recommend PW Auto Clinic for your car needs because they are know what their doing, but have great customer service.

    I feel bad writing this updated review because I have mixed feelings about PW Auto Clinic. (Know…read morethat many of the reviews here are for the previous business at this location - The Car Clinic). The steering wheel power telescoping feature on my 2013 Ford F150 failed. I took it to PW Auto Clinic and when I explained the problem in plain English what the problem was, the mechanic simply couldn't understand what I was talking about. I explained the problem repeatedly but he didn't understand what I was saying even though it was simply that the power steering wheel would not telescope. Even so, I got an estimate for $1,300. (Plus $150 for the diagnosis for a total of #1,450.00) I contacted the manager and he said to bring it back in so he could check it out himself. I had informed him that I found out that the mechanism can jam and sent him a link to a video that described how to fix the jam. He then sent me a video clip of him loosening a nut to free up the jam but it was clearly the wrong nut - the one for the tilt feature which works perfectly, not the telescoping feature. But he thought that the telescoping motor was burned out and needed to be replaced because it pulled a lot of amperage. But pulling high amperage can also mean that it's just jammed. I pointed that out to him but he never responded. By then, I had lost confidence in PG Auto Clinic So I took the truck to BSG Automotive in Yorkville. We went out to breakfast while they looked at the truck. I returned within an hour and my truck was in the parking lot already and the diagnosis was completed. In less than an hour, they did the following: They removed the telescoping motor and tested it. It was hot. So they put it in a freezer to cool it down but when they bench tested it, it heated up again and the bi-metallic circuit protector tripped so they knew the motor was, indeed, bad. But if PW Auto Clinic just replaced it would have burned out again because the root of the problem was that the mechanism was jammed. BSG then (all in less than one hour) removed the entire mechanism, freed it up so it's working perfectly again and re-installed it and the bad motor temporarily and ordered a new motor. The total parts and labor cost is $700 not including the $100 diagnosis fee. Bottom line: Diagnosis was $50 less than PW Auto Clinic and the repair cost $600 less. On top of that, PW Auto Clinic misdiagnosed the problem and, again, if they had just replaced the motor, it would have burned out again because the root cause was the jammed mechanism that I suggested was the root cause of the motor failure. BSG did a full and detailed diagnosis in less than one hour and fixed the root cause of the problem. When the manager sent me the video of him working the wrong nut, I texted him to let him know it was the wrong nut. He didn't reply at all. I didn't like that and it felt like he was giving me the proverbial finger. That's when I decided to take the truck somewhere else and I'm glad I did. BSG was incredibly fast and thorough, they found the root cause of the problem and they are charging much less for the job. I used to recommend the Car Clinic to everyone but I can't confidently do that now since it's PW Auto Clinic based on my experience with them. (Again, keep in mind that some of the Yelp reviews for PW Auto Clinic are for The Car Clinic previously at the same location.) On the other hand, everyone I talked to at PW Auto Clinic was very nice. Too bad the mechanic couldn't understand the problem. Too bad they misdiagnosed the problem and too bad they charged me 50% more for the a misdiagnosis and would have charged me $600 more to replace the motor which probably would have burned out again because they didn't find the jammed mechanism while BSG found it immediately and fixed it during the diagnosis. I'm saving $650.00 total by having BSG do the repair (correctly) rather than PW Auto Clinic. It's also too bad because PW Auto Clinic is right down the road from me and it would be great to have a competent auto repair place so close by. In fairness, PW Auto Clinic might do fine work for other types of repairs but they failed with this one and they were going to charge much more for the repair than BSG is charging me to fix the problem correctly. That price difference alone tells me to look elsewhere in the future.

Happen to look up Eric Herbst and found his business. Called and was quite surprised that Eric not only answered my call but remembered me after 10 yrs!! I was surprised and shocked. Dropped my car off - expecting to uber home, he gave me a loaner!! He quickly diagnosed my vehicle and gave me a complete list of issues which I was not aware how dangerous it was to drive. He ordered the parts and had my vehicle repaired by noon the next day. Talk about this type of service and turnaround. I'm very pleased and grateful to have someone that is passionate about his customers. Without a doubt I will share my experience with everyone!!

The owner saw the situation, walked out with a reassuring smile, and said, "No worries--we'll get you back on the road." Despite all his mechanics being busy, he personally rolled up his sleeves and got to work. We discovered a blown hose and a fan belt that had jumped off the pulleys. He replaced both, topped off the radiator, and even noticed and fixed a few other minor issues--including adjusting the idle and making a quick repair to the carburetor. He worked quickly, efficiently, and with genuine care. In less than an hour, my Chevelle was running beautifully again--and he only charged me $200. Honest, trustworthy, and incredibly skilled, this gentleman is everything you hope to find in a mechanic but rarely do. If you're looking for a shop that treats your car like their own and puts integrity first, Herbst High Performance is the place to go. I can't recommend them highly enough.

    I stopped by Scott's Service Place because of a low tire pressure. I already had a spare on and…read moredropped off the tire with a piece of metal in it to be checked and reinstalled later. A couple of hours later, I received a phone call from Scott letting me know that the piece of metal hadn't actually punctured the tire, and they couldn't find any spot where it was leaking air. Scott suggested keeping the tire overnight to double-check, and I agreed. The next morning, he let me know that the tire had held air perfectly and was safe to reinstall. We still don't know what caused the sudden pressure drop, but I've been driving on the tire for a couple of weeks now without any issues. What really stood out was the level of customer service. Scott and his team kept me updated every step of the way, made sure the tire was truly safe before putting it back on, and even followed up a few days later to check how everything was going. That kind of care and communication is rare, and I truly appreciate the effort they put in. I'll definitely be coming back to Scott's Service Place for all my future car needs!
