Ray fixed my vehicle's AC and explained the issue they found and the fix. He also explained what they found during the complimentary full diagnostic. Ray was thorough and not pushy. He allowed me to decide what I wanted fixed and gave me an itemized list in case I wanted to follow up in the future. Definitely recommend read more

Ray's auto service is simply , good ! When it comes to auto repairs,I'm at a loss to understand. Ray explains what repairs are needed & gives you a price that is very reasonable. For me his work is second to none,just unlike most auto repair Ray is a good man & knows his stuff Thank you Ray read more

These guys saved the day for me! I ran over something on the highway and slashed my tire with no spare. As soon as I pulled in they tried to patch it but when it wasn't possible, they gave me a very fair deal on a temporary replacement so I could get back on my way. They were very clear explaining what to do next to get the proper tire I need and where would give me the best price. So nice and helpful! read more

Ray has been a great mechanic for me for years. He took the time to inspect two different used cars and helped me avoid a huge bad purchase. Thanks so much, Ray. I really appreciate it! read more

Honest service, independent shop, kept me informed all the way through. Had a wiring issue giving a check transmission error message and Ray took care of it all. read more

Got a flat tire on the highway and was so lucky we exited by Rays. Took care of us right away and was so kind. Great job! Thanks so much Ray! read more

Ray is great at working with you on your schedule and is very communicative as to parts and service.

Beware! When I first went there, Ray seemed super nice and authentic. I cannot tell you how many things he did to my car that were unnecessary, and really expensive. After seeing that I had an oil leak, he said okay I'll change the oil I'll do XY and z but the leak was never fixed. I asked for an estimate. Luckily, I took my car to Volkswagen where professionals were able to repair the damage that Ray had done by using aftermarket parts and shoddy workmanship. I was so disappointed because I thought I could trust him. Don't go there if you have a car that you're really love. Go back to the dealer, or professionals that know what they're doing. read more

I have been going to Rays for years. The owner is extremely accommodating. I feel like most auto body shops shoo you away with last minute requests - Ray always fits you in. He makes sure your vehicle is safe, ready to drive, and always tries his best to fit you into the schedule. I cannot recommend this place more!! read more

I was virtually stranded in Riverwoods in below zero weather, many parts of the car frozen. These men were so helpful and kind and solved the problem right away. I am so grateful for their assistance and expertise. If you're in the neighborhood and need auto work, here's the place to go. read more

Wow i was blown away by how friendly and kind service I received. Definitely coming back!

Just used rays for an interior and exterior on my jeep. They have 3 guys working on your car from start to finish. There attention to detail is absolutely incredible. My wash was 50 dollars because I have a customer mat black vinyl on my truck. Normally, it is 40 for interior and exterior. That is an insanely good price. I used to pay 100 for a good interior detail. They have a customer for life out of me. 10/10 read more

Ray's Auto Service - Beautiful - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverwoods, Illinois

Visited Rays yesterday for an interior and exterior hand wash of my Tesla Model S and was very impressed by the facility and the quality of the wash. His crew is very meticulous when it came to washing and drying my vehicle. They also use high pressure air to remove most of the water on the car before drying so there is less need for towels. Overall I was very impressed by the quality and value of the hand wash. I will definitely be back. read more

Rays the best excellent mechanic and maybe one of a very few honest businesses around.

Ray was able to fix our problem immediately! Super helpful and thorough. I love supporting small businesses like this!! Thanks, Ray, for your help! read more

Ray is still the best mechanic we've ever had. We noticed something on the underside of our van was hanging down last night, dropped it off this morning, have it back already today. Friendly, honest, professional, and they genuinely want people to be more knowledgeable car owners. Best mechanic within a 5-10 mile radius easily if you're looking for someone close by that you can 100% trust. read more

Ray is a super nice guy and is knowledgeable about cars. I needed new brakes and tires on my Bavarian auto and he was up front about what I needed to get and what I might be able to put off. He uncovered some other issues with the car after a diagnostic check, advised me on them, and then agreed with me that it's probably worth trading the car in given its mileage and the car's poor reliability. I felt that he was trustworthy for that. He also dropped me off at work after I dropped my care off there, since my office is nearby. I didn't have any work done on my car, and always hope I don't have to, but I will probably go back when I need to. read more

Excellently service in this establishment. Would definitely come back for future car repairs & issues. Thanks again!

I recently had my brakes repaired at Ray's. Prior to getting the work done, I got several estimates. Ray was the only one who actually took the time to look at my car and provide an itemized, written estimate - and it was significantly less than any of the others. The work was done in exactly the time he said it would be, and the final cost was exactly what he had quoted. He is very nice, the shop is clean and orderly, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend! read more

Ray was very personable and took me in for an assessment next day. I thought I heard something that indicated brakes...but he inspected and told me I'm still OK on brakes. Right there he's above the rest as there are so many that will just sell you something you don't need. Given that great experience, I asked him about tires as I had read other reviews here that he was less expensive and good. He recommended a good all weather tire...saved me a couple hundred from what the tire store would have charged. He ordered the set of 4 and told me they'd probably be in next day...they were actually there that afternoon and he took care of me right away. A rare, honest, nice to deal with mechanic! Five starts, Ray! read more

Amazing service! I have had an issue with my car for the past 6 months. Took it to a few shops and felt they never really looked into the issue. I ended up spending a lot of time and money trying to get it solved. Ray actually listened to me and took the time to really look at the car. Was able to solve the issue and fix the problem! Finally an auto shop I can trust! read more

Ray at Ray's Auto was highly recommended by a friend. I needed new tires and an oil change, and ray goes above and beyond to get you the fastest service at the highest quality. He managed to save me over $300 compared to what the dealership was offering. Will be coming to Ray's Auto for all my auto needs. A+++ read more

Exceptional service! Above and beyond what was required, and super fast and friendly!

Highly recommend this place. Very affordable price and great service. Ray is very personable and professional and will provide you with honest insight without trying to up-sell you into anything you don't need. I will be returning in the future. read more

My tire popped right in front of Ray's Auto Body, and Ray could not have been nicer. He was extremely generous letting me use his tools to fix my tire and offered to help anywhere he could. Ray filled up my spare tire, made sure my lug nuts were completely tight, and just made sure everything else was ok. He was not my mechanic before today but after having a very positive experience he will now be. read more

I took my car into an auto shop in the city to get checked out. The mechanic came back to me with over $1700 in repairs. Knowing I'm a female, I felt I was getting taken advantage of. I wanted to get a second opinion and that is when I took my car to Ray's auto service. Even though I live in the city and it was a little bit of a drive, it was worth it. I know Ray is very trustworthy and does honest work. I have taken my car into Ray's before to get new tires and brakes. Ray is very knowledgeable and personable. After about 30-1 hour of full inspection, Ray diagnosed the problems. He provided me with a quote and was able to repair my car in a day. My car has 160,000 miles on it and know I feel safe to drive another 100,000 miles. Highly recommend Ray's Auto Service and will continue to bring this vehicle and future vehicles to Ray's! read more

Nothing feels quite as vulnerable as being two states away from home and having your alternator crap out. Ray was beyond accommodating. He fit us in the same day, stayed more than an hour past closing, and had all the parts we needed. He was kind, offered to jump us if our car didn't make it, and treated us like friends. We only lost a few hours of our trip, instead of a few days. read more

Ray returned my call promptly. He was honest with his work and quote. He was accommodating to my schedule and availability for my car repair. I will be bringing my daughter's car to him next. read more

Had a great experience here. Called last minute to have my car towed there, and it was finished early the next morning. Honest service for a good price. Ray was very helpful and experienced and I will definitely be returning here for future car maintenance! read more
