I was…read moreon the tollway, going with the flow of traffic at about 70mph, when I suddenly heard an awful, terrifying, loud metal screeching sound coming from my car. When I was able to exit the tollway & pull over to a safe side street, I looked at the under carriage & found that the metal skid plate that covers & protects the underside of the engine, had come loose & was dragging & scraping the pavement. Knowing that issue creates dangerous sparks & other problems I decided to call AAA. Lucky for me, the tow truck driver suggested Charlie Car Care, and took me & my SUV there. The staff took my car immediately, reattached the skid plate with new bolts, and had me out of there in under an hour! Their price was very reasonable! I expected to pay 3-4x more, so was super pleased when they told me the price. The waiting area is nice & comfortable too. In addition to all that, the staff is super friendly. Madeline and Moises are excellent at customer service. Just like the other reviewers say...they are really professional & very friendly. All the staff members deserve 5 stars! If I lived 40 miles closer, I would definitely go back again. I HIGHLY recommend this business anyone that needs help with their vehicles.

I got a great deal on it, but after an inspection, knew it needed some work. One of the items needed were to replace/resurface the rotors. After using Yelp to research some of the local shops, this business really caught my attention. I had some dialogue with David through the Yelp app and ended up setting up an appointment to get an estimate. After the inspection, they mentioned the rotors were okay to wait on since I had newer brakes. However, I did need a bearing on the back tire. I brought the car back and had the work done a couple of weeks later. Overall, the communication through Yelp was prompt and respectful. Everyone I dealt with in the shop was great and I never felt as though I was being sold something I didn't need. They were thorough in their explanation and prices were very reasonable. I can see why they are a staple in the Elgin community! I will be back for future repairs and maintenance! UPDATE: I have now used Kellenberger for multiple repairs/services and still continue to be impressed. Professionalism is outstanding. Also want to call out Jack for his helpfulness and honesty.

I want to leave this review because my experience with this workshop has been really bad…read more Eight months ago I bought a car in this workshop, a week after buying it it already had mechanical problems, and since then I have had to return to the workshop again and again. Yes, he has given me a guarantee, but it is useless when the "fixes" last just a few weeks and the car returns with exactly the same problems. The most serious thing was the last time: he had my car for two full weeks and gave it to me worse than it was, with the same fault and new problems. That shows a total lack of professionalism, responsibility and seriousness. I have been more than patient and I have given plenty of opportunities, but it is evident that here there is no real commitment or quality in the work. It's frustrating to waste time, confidence and continue with a car that never looks good. I don't usually leave bad reviews, but I think it's important for others to know what I've been through so they can make an informed decision. I hope that in the future they will improve their service and their responsibility with customers.

Since this pandemic, recession/depression started I have been reviewing companies you really…read moreshouldn't waste your money at for a multitude of reasons, but I feel the need to point out businesses that I've always kept close to the vest as a widely-held secret, but honestly, if you still drive, you can't afford to waste your money at some 200K mile mechanic chain today either. One of the first things I do when I am working at a new office is to find the auto repair shop that the owners and managers of where I'm working at and trust with their car repairs, so when my office moved out to Kane County, that shop is Dundee Automotive. I originally had a Dodge Neon that I had bought years ago during a previous contract gig in Phoenix Arizona and I'm 100% certain Dundee Automotive kept that 'thing' running longer than any of the previous mechanics could ever dream of keeping mechanically sound, and it was their eye for catching things other mechanics would have missed that I felt secure with their service to give that car to my nephew on his 18th birthday. I've also bought a car from Dundee Automotive, and other customers will give them the heads up if they want to sell their car and as much as it sounds like a cliche, I bought a Subaru Forrester that was one of Randy's niece's cars and drove it for about a year, and I was able to sell it for more than what I paid for it. Most recently in 2017, I picked up an Audi A4 Quattro (also from Arizona) and while I'll let the dealer do the oil changes and give me the free service inspections, I leave it to Randy and his ace mechanics to do whatever service is needed as its considerably less expensive than the Audi dealer. If you've read my other Yelp reviews, you would know I drive this Audi A LOT around the Midwest, to conferences, conventions, client sites, etc, and (knock on wood) for German engineering, (knock on wood, again) to Dundee Automotive for keeping it running like it was new. Don't take my word for it, take a look at all the other reviews for whatever reason Yelp isn't currently recommending, as they are also five-star reviews, so the next time your check engine light goes off, give Randy and the mechanics at Dundee Automotive a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
