Owner is very good- explains visually w/you what is mechanically wrong. We've had work done on our 2012 Honda keeping these cars still running well. Grateful this locale is nearby- makes ALL the difference when you need to leave it overnight. Yes I'd recommend. read more

The charged $140 for inspection but they mentioned firs $40 dollars for the services.

Our car failed emissions twice and Mak's diagnosed the car and fixed a few things . The car passed emissions! Mak's was responsive and reasonably priced! read more

My car was actively dying while driving it and Maks was the closest to me at the time. The service was AMAZING. They got my car completely fixed, made sure I got a good quality part for the lowest price, and stayed open slightly late to make it happen. Maks is about 20 minutes from where I live and it's where I will be going from here on out. read more

Mak's Auto Repair did a great job with my moms car problem . I know a few people that have been at his shop and I knew he would be honest.

The manager T also explains everything and provides helpful tips on how to maintain your car. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable and trustworthy mechanic.

I found myself needing an urgent repair on a Saturday afternoon for my car because my engine splash shield became completely dislodged and started dragging on the ground -- exposing the innards of my car. Luckily I stumbled across Tarang and his shop. Maks Auto Repair is a minority-owned, family/small business and they're as honest as they come. Tarang made me feel as if I were an extension of his family even though we just met. He is a local that represents Streamwood very well. They don't push products or service on you and will only tell you what needs to be done at a fair price. Tarang and his team didn't just repair my issue, they completely fortified my underbody. I haven't felt this confident about my car's health since I bought it from the dealer. I really wished I took a before and after picture. Please keep in mind that due to the labor shortage and this establishment being a small-business, there may be a short wait. However, rest-assured you will get the highest level of service and could guarantee that your best interests will be in their minds. I live an hour away from Streamwood but whenever I require auto work, I will make sure I call Maks for any future repairs. Highly recommend. read more

Been going here for years brought car in for a front end noise quoted me $1800 if one thing $3000 if it was what he thought it was. Surprise you guessed that right I wound up taking it to the dealer cost me $75 dollars. Lost a customer never going back! read more

Critical: Professionalism If you are looking for honesty this is NOT the place! A 75 year old lady has been a customer with them for years. They bought her car off her and pretty much stole it from her. Gave her only $300 because her window didnt work....turned around and tried to sell it to me for $3k until I told them I knew what they did to the lady and they then told me it wasnt for sale and hushed me out the door. Terrible people. Stay away. Only could imagine what else they are telling people is wrong with their cars. Call it 'business' all you want...thats not how you treat people, especially patrons. read more

Tarang and his team at Maks provide the two key elements when searching for service provider, automotive or otherwise - honesty and reliability. read more

Mak's is a good, fair place to take your car for repairs. They have worked with me to make sure I could afford the repairs and suggested what needed to be done first - and surprise, it was not the most expensive fix. My car is 24 years old and definitely needs attention. Raj and T have always explained the processes, the parts, and the labor before I accepted their work. They also worked with me on making sure the repairs could be done within my schedule. They were patient with my questions and very thorough. They worked on my Mom's car and made it saleable. They continue to keep my little Duster and my 'stang in good order. I praise their work and their work ethic, and am glad that they are good neighbors to us here in Streamwood! read more

I've taken my car there several times you get it repaired but it seems every time I take it there to get one thing done there's something else wrong with the car . so the last time I took it there I need an air-conditioner blower motor they put a transistor in there instead of putting the motor in there charge me $400 then told me later that I needed blower motor for $1700 this time I was not going to do this because they've done this to me several times in the past and I keep spending money out for things that they recommending I end up spending more money. At this point I want my money back . read more

I was at the shop quite some time ago when I lived closer I can't begin to tell you how friendly and helpful the owner was fix a tire for me so quick and got me on my way to work right away . I have sent other people to his shop and everybody tells me good things this is a great place to go for auto repairs read more

I was considering purchasing a used car and turned to them for help and T not only made the time to look it over on very short notice but gave a good and fair assessment of some things the vehicle needed and helped me make a good decision about the vehicle. Very nice people. That always matters. Would recommend! read more

i brought my car In with a/c problems. Thought it was the compressor . T looked at the car as soon as I brought it in. He said it wasn't the compressor and he will check it out.I also thought I needed new brakes. Any other place would have put in new compressor and brakes. They even picked my up at my house , now that is what I call serve and the price was very reasonable too read more

Not just another auto repair joint. Mak's is a family owned business and they treat their customers like family. They enjoy a challenge and want to keep cars running as long as possible. We've been using Mak's since they opened in Streamwood and have never had an issue with any repairs, and there have been many. Anything from oil changes, tire rotations, diagnostics, and more. Please keep in mind this is not a quick, or jiffy, lube chain. Great service, great people!! read more

Over priced and long wait times for your car to be fixed. We figured they were reasonable since they are always packed with cars but dont let that fool you!! They had my car for three days before they looked at it. Cost me 160.00 for diagnostic test and told me the water pump was leaking along with two hoses and wanted 1800.00. Ridiculous price. Went to another mechanic and they fixed water pump two hoses two gaskets and a timing belt for much less! Dont go to Maks they will try to overcharge you! read more

We all need an auto shop we can trust. Well, this one is it. I found it on a day where my battery died. They replaced it on the spot with no problem. I just went back for an oil change and I couldn't believe I paid under $30. No pressure to upgrade to this or that. Just good service, in and out. Friendly and professional. Will be going back for sure. read more

If ever you need your car fixed and you are in Streamwood, DO NOT go to Maks Auto Repair. I needed a wheel bearing. "T" at Maks said it was ok to bring my own parts in and he would only charge me labor. I did just that. Now 6 months later my wheel bearing is making noise again. Oh shock, I need the same bearing replaced. We took the car into another mechanic and he said there is NO WAY this part was ever fixed. It was old and completely rusted in and worn. I took the part back to the Auto Parts Store who looked at the bearing and said there is no way this part is six months old. The Auto Parts Store did give me my money back anyway. He said he's had the same complaint with about 20 people about Maks supposedly replacing parts people bring in and in a few months they are bad again....I'll let you decide if you think he changes them with this many complaints. He does charges labor. Of course I went back to Maks and said that I was told by two reputable people that this part was not changed six months ago nor was it a six month old part. He would do nothing about it. He said he'd look at the surveillance tape and prove to me that it was change. When I said ok, I want to see it. All of the sudden he doesn't have tapes going back six months. Are you as shocked as I am? I didn't think so. So I'm using social media in hopes people won't go to this place, that rips off people who work hard for their money. The only reason I gave them one star is because there aren't any negative stars that I can choose from. Thank you! read more

I recently moved to the area and my 18 years old daughter's a/c blower kept going out. I took to Raj and he looked not once but, twice over 2 days and DID NOT CHARGE. He stated he couldn't take money for a loose connection. He replaced for free also stating this is his neighborhood too and would not cheat his neighbors. Honesty is rare in the car repair business. I'm a customer for life!! Thanks Raj!!! read more

I replaced my car battery but was unable to get the brackets securely tightened. I called Maks and they saw me right away and fixed the brackets. They also advised the terminals were not secure. They fixed everything. Extremely satisfied with their service and I will bring my car back for service when needed! Thanks! Angelo! read more

We had an unfortunate event...A FLAT TIRE! Luckily it happened right in front of this shop and I called in a panic. They were so helpful and fit us in right away and patched the tire in under 15mins. We were so happy with their service that I had to write a review! We will bring our car here again. Thank you guys!! read more

Good place very fair prices and tell you the truth unlike a lot of other places around it's nice to finally find a good shop I can trust

I have been taking my Jeep to Maks Auto Repair for years. They have been doing an excellent job with a reasonable amount. I trust the personnel and my Jeeps runs fabulous. I definitely recommend them. read more

I took the chance and figured that I would try them out. Now I only go here and have been going here for the last year or so. I've had previous issues with both my vehicles and my last mechanic was trying to rip me off and didn't realize it until I started coming here. Mak's Auto has saved me a lot of money in repairs that my last mechanic was trying to squeeze out of me. So they've earned my trust. They are also not pushy like other mechanics. read more

Best service and very friendly workers. Definitely will recommend to my friends and family members. Thanks Raj.

I took my car in to get an estimate on having my front brake rotors and pads replaced, after consulting with Midas and Casey's Automotive and my dealership, who were extremely expensive (over $1,000). At first I was extremely delight when Tarang, the mechanic/owner, told me he can get the job done for $850.00. So I went ahead with the repairs. When I went to pick up my car, he gave me two prices: $885 if I was paying w/ credit card and $850.00 if I was paying with cash. I told him that I was quoted only $850.00 and I wasn't advised that was with cash only. He tried to b.s. and said he always advises his customers two prices and that I may not have heard it correctly. I asked him where am I suppose to get $850 in cash at 6 pm, when all the banks have closed. He said I can pay with credit, but I will be charge $885, since he has to pay a processing fee to the credit card company, which increases his costs. I just found that to be complelete b.s. Every business has to pay processing fees to credit card companies, that doen't mean they adjust their prices on their products or services to customers who paid with credit cards or pay with cash. I was completely turn off and will never go to Maks Auto again. He gave me the lower price to get my business, but then found a way to charge me extra.Typical of all mechanics. Luckily there are many other places to go. read more
