From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn't your typical auto shop. They take the time to explain everything clearly, tell you what actually needs to be done (and what doesn't), and treat you like a person--not just another ticket. What really sets them apart is their honesty and consistency. You never feel upsold, pressured, or in the dark. Just straightforward, high-quality work at fair prices--every single time. And somehow, they always find a way to come through when you need them most, even when they're busy. They've been a trusted name in the Evanston area for decades, and it shows in the way they operate and the loyalty they've built with customers. Chris runs an incredible shop, and his team reflects that standard across the board--professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely good people. It's rare to find a place like this. Once you go to Crawford Golf Auto, you won't go anywhere else.

I was doing some research and saw Norms was highly rated so I took a shot and brought the car there yesterday (Sat). Robert was great! He/they actually felt I didn't need two new sets of brakes and only needed one. They jumped on it and installed front pads and rotors in two hours. We just moved to the area and I feel like I got lucky finding a trustworthy mechanic shop. Thanks, Robert and Norms!

I had many people try and nothing. The dealer wanted $175 to get it done as they said the bumper would have to be removed. I went to Warren's, and he personally got it off in under a minute and didn't charge me a dime for the service only $10 for the rust proof screws. Top that!! I won't go anywhere else to service my car. He also replaced my engine for a fraction of the price of others, and it is out on the road in great condition to this day as my kid's car. Truely a great shop and owner!!!

We live out of state--otherwise, they would be my go-to service shop!

Took my Mini Cooper to G&G for brake work and couldn't be happier with the experience. The team was…read moreincredibly efficient and had me back on the road quickly. What really stood out: they spotted an issue with my brake lights during the inspection and fixed it without trying to inflate the bill with a bunch of "while we're in there" repairs that I didn't need. They were upfront about pricing, communicated clearly every step of the way, and genuinely seemed to care about doing right by me rather than maximizing their profit. It's so refreshing to find a shop that values their customers and does quality work without the typical mechanic runaround. G&G has earned my trust and my business going forward. Highly recommend if you want honest service at fair prices!

I explained my issue to Russ and he took down my information and keys. He'd warned me they were unexpectedly busy and I might be there all day. I settled in to wait.

I was very grateful they took care of the issue so quickly and I was done hours earlier than expected. Russ explained everything that needed to be done and I was on my way.

Affordable prices, trustworthy mechanic, quality work…read more Elpidio (he took over Keiji Auto Services) in Skokie is the best mechanic I have found, period. I have been bringing my Honda Civic and my BMW X3 to him for years and have never once had an issue with his work or his pricing. Not once. Most recently I needed a drive belt replacement. Called in the morning, car was done by the afternoon, at HALF the price the dealership quoted me. No upsells, no confusion, no feeling like you're getting taken advantage of. He is an honest, hardworking mechanic who knows exactly what he is doing, and frankly he should be charging more than he does. The only reason he doesn't have more reviews is because he is the last of a dying breed. He's focused on doing good work, not marketing himself. If you need a mechanic you can trust and never have to think twice about, save his number now.

It took about a week to fix our car, which I thought was a little longer than necessary, but no big deal, since our insurance covered a rental car. I was a little disappointed when they didn't replace 100% everything, and we weren't told it wouldn't be replaced until after we already finished the repairs and noticed the difference. That was pretty disappointing and I think should've been pointed out before deciding to have them fix the car, since we could've gone elsewhere that the insurance company provided. Otherwise, repair was completed as expected.

Perfectly professional, helpful suggestions, no pressure, and so quick! GM Eric did a fantastic job.read more
