    I took my car here after speaking to the wife. My car was overheating and the check engine, oil lights were on. Lucas said i needed an engine and that will solve my iissue.it did solve my overheating issue but now i have burning of oil in the exhaust after the used engine was put in by preferred. I told preferred immediately that my car was smoking out the tailpipe a lot of smoke blocks away. He told me to just drive it a bit which i did. I told him its still smoking blue smoke he said come by and we will put oil in it to calm the smoking which is burning oil through the exhaust. First they put the wrong oil in my car so now i was burning and smoking like crazy. I told lucas i wanted another engine or my money back he said no the engine is good and im blocking you which he did for several weeks. I paid him $4,100 for a used engine. Oil was leaking from the engine everywhere andbgettingbinto my turbos and he was not willingnto look at the car he just blocked me and ignored my calls and now im out of a car because it cannot pass emissions andbit buring oil so bad that the fumes is making me sick so i can no longer drive the car but i am sueing him for fraud and neglect. How you take my money andbgivebme an oil burning car in return i did not pay for that. He is rude and a crook. He did not even honor the warranty.

    I just went through two weeks and 3 mechanics trying to repair the shaking my car was experiencing…read moregoing over 55mph. The first mechanic told me it was my rims, the second mechanic told me it was my rims and two tires so I caved and figured I needed the rims done only to find my car still had the shaking issue and it almost felt worse. Finally I took it to Cars for a third opinion and they could not have done a better job. They took their time with it and made sure they weren't doing any unnecessary work. It ended up being something with my driving axles(?) not sure if that's the right term, but regardless I feel like I am driving a brand new car. No shaking at all! Bottom line - if you want to get quality work done and avoid wasting your time take your business to Cars in Oak Forest.

    I brought my car there a few years ago to have my brake lines replaced which I had no problems with…read moresince then. The problem I had is that after they finished, I had what appeared to be dirt all around my leather steering wheel, which when I used plain wet (water only) paper towels to wipe off, whatever the substance was, stripped all my leather off my steering wheel! I suspect the substance was probably brake fluid? Just be warned that they don't care about the inside of your vehicle as far as making sure they're not leaving your interior filthy! I don't know how they could turn over your vehicle back to you with the steering wheel being so filthy, with a corrosive substance so strong to remove all the leather off! No issues with their mechanical qualifications though. You might want to put covers on your seats and cover the steering wheel somehow if you get brake work done!

My two previous honest, trustworthy mechanics had retired years ago. I had resorted to going into a dealership, but felt that I was being pushed to get me to spend unnecessary money and/or being overcharged for things which maybe didn't need to be done. During the recent January cold spell, my battery started acting up. Then it conked out. Fortunately, a friend had discovered JNJ. He was quite pleased with Ojay's work, honesty, and fair prices for several repairs on his car. I called early on 1/22/25. I told Ojay I needed a new battery. He got all my info and said he would try to get a battery asap. Within an hour, he called me back. He had a battery. We set up an appointment for noon time when he had an opening in his schedule. I mentioned how the dealership was emailing and pressuring me for several months to get new tires. He said he would check that out. Ojay is fantastic. Angie at the front desk is top notch. The battery replacement didn't take very long. Oscar said my tires had more than 50% tread left - no need to buy new ones yet. With Ojay I felt that I was being treated fairly, honestly, and respectfully. Excellent service. I will be taking my car to JNJ for all future repairs and servicing on my car.
