Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish! It's not often you come across a shop that…read moregenuinely puts honesty and customer service first. These guys went above and beyond to help me out, were upfront and transparent throughout the entire process, and truly had my best interests in mind. What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile. They even went out of their way to show up after business hours just to get my tow truck driver a key. That level of dedication and customer service is hard to find these days. Honest, trustworthy, and genuinely good people. I couldn't recommend this shop enough.

I've been going here for quite a few years. Recently in the past year or two, the quality of work…read morehas gone down substantially. Unfortunately I can no longer recommend this place due to low quality work, efficiency, and communication. I shouldn't have to leave my vehicle for over 2 months and still not have my issues fixed. The first month not everything was fixed that I had asked for AND extra work was done without my approval. Second time I left it there they made it even worse, but I wanted to give them a chance for redemption. It's still having issues from the work that was done, I cannot go back as this is the 3rd strike. It's just unacceptable. Hopefully things can improve there. Update - October 24, 2026: After privately contacting the owner to clarify my concerns, his only response was a laughing emoji (). I found this response disappointing and unprofessional, particularly given the issues I've experienced with my vehicle. Funny he just wanted to completely dismiss the review altogether. It really shows how fragile their ego is. I'd expect this behavior from a child but it's a grown ss man with a family typing this. John (the owner) shows his behavior is quite embarrassing and is a huge reflection of the shops attitude.

Repeat customer! Quick and reliable. Have gotten oil change here multiple times and price is fair.read more

Made the trek to North Center to have my car serviced. This is my second time at this auto shop…read more Years ago, my husband was having issues with his transmission. They were good about letting him know his options. Fast forward to modern day, I was in need of rear brakes. I searched on Yelp for places with good reviews and used the project functionality. Transtastic came up on my radar again. Gary quoted me a fair price on Yelp for my rear brakes. My first day off of work, I called Javier to see if they could get me in. Upon arrival, the team quickly pulled my SUV into their garage. Javier did a quick inspection to determine if the dealership diagnostic was accurate. Javier recommended that I service both brakes and was thorough in educating me about why my front brakes also needed to be replaced. I left my vehicle with an estimation of 3 - 4 hours. It was completed in less than 3 hours. By the time, I was walking out the door, Javier was ordering my parts. I was satisfied with his communication and honesty in timeframe. Overall, I felt informed of what was going to take place with my vehicle. While I didn't plan on getting both brakes, I understood that the front ones were heavily rusted as so see with my own eye a few months back. This auto shop doesn't have much of a waiting area but plenty of shopping, eateries and even a library to bide your time nearby. The customer service here was superb and I am happy to use this place to replace my brakes. I easily saved 33% coming here versus the Mazda Dealership. Tip: bring cash or pay with debit to avoid 3% service charge.

At the store was a customer who recommended me to take my vehicle to Dave Cooper. When I arrived at Dave's he informed me about the TBI and we both chuckled. Then he made an appointment for me to return with my vehicle. On the scheduled date I dropped off my vehicle, Later that day the secretary called me and told me that my vehicle would not start for them and that they would need to replace one of my batteries since they had tested it and it was very weak. She also mentioned that this was probably the main cause of the problem. They changed the battery and now my vehicle runs like the day I bought it. Thank you Mr Dave Cooper and all his staff. I'm definitely taking my vehicle to you when needed.

I cannot say enough good things about Need A Lift Auto Towing Service and especially Jamie, the…read moredriver who helped me today. What started as a very stressful day turned into a much better experience thanks to his professionalism and kindness. I hit a huge pothole on I-94 near Gary, Indiana, which caused a flat tire and left me stranded on the shoulder with traffic flying by at highway speeds. I was on my way home to spend Father's Day with my dad, and this was the last thing I expected to happen. From the moment Jamie spoke with me on the phone, he was calm, reassuring, and genuinely caring. He made me feel like I was in good hands before he even arrived. Once he got there, he was professional, efficient, and incredibly courteous. Jamie then drove both me and my vehicle all the way to my dealer's service department in Illinois. During the drive, we had a wonderful conversation, and I was impressed by how warm, friendly, and compassionate he was. After many years in the towing industry, it would be easy for someone to become indifferent, but Jamie was exactly the opposite. He showed genuine empathy and treated me with kindness and respect throughout the entire experience. If you ever find yourself needing a tow, I highly recommend Need A Lift Auto Towing Service. Thank you, Jamie, for turning a difficult and stressful situation into a much more positive experience. Your outstanding customer service will not be forgotten.

It is always such a huge relief when a stressful breakdown turns into a positive experience…read more Drivers like Cody truly make a massive difference when you are stranded down a very narrow alley and he whips that big ole rollback in there like he's been doing it for centuries!
