We dropped it off Friday afternoon and it was ready the following Monday afternoon. Everything was repaired, and we saved almost $70 with the coupon they send to repeat customers. We'll definitely be back when we have the harder stuff to do. They do good work.

Unless I go back to Illinois and my car has issues around this area. I guess I could also drive from California to Illinois the next time my blinker goes out, but that'd be risky. I'd really need to consider the risk/reward for that trek. If I ever move to Chicago, I'd like to think that this place played a role in that decision. Thank you!

When I arrived it was like 2 trucks already in the shop but the bay for tire repair was open so they told me to pull in right after I checked in with my company info, it only took between 30-40 minutes to replace the tires but definitely shorter than I was expecting. The service was good overall and the staff was nice.

I met the owner Nick Little many years ago, when he taught automotive, and worked at a dealership…read more I would always go to him to check what my car's dealership would claim is wrong with my vehicles. He always gave an honest assessment of the problem. In many cases, the dealership had misdiagnosed the problem and was going to charge me for an expensive, unnecessary repair. I have two cars maintained by him now. One has 347,000 miles on it and the other has 288,000 miles. These vehicles have not gone back to the dealership since they were bought except for factory recall work. I credit the problem free long life of these vehicles to Nick's ability to catch a problem before it strands me along side the road. Nick has made a large personal investment in mechanical equipment and electronic equipment to make this garage rival that of a dealership. Nick loves to talk, and has always been honest with me.

Jeff Perry Chitvrolet…read more Traditional strong armed sales approach. Luckily we must have gotten the new guy so we didn't have the issue at first. But, while outside looking at a car, we noticed the sales manager hovering. After 30 years in sales, most in management, I recognized things were about to go south. I realized there was a potential major issue with the car and advised the sales person we're not interested. At that point the sales manager dragged the sales person into the back office. We were going to beat a hasty retreat but I wanted to have a little fun with the sales manager. Lucky for him he came out, thanked us for our interest and we parted ways. Now for the strong armed part. If you visit this location, DO NOT provide them with your correct contact information. Especially if you are just starting out or looking. They will hound you multiple times a day via email, text, and calls. Luckily we gave them a number which we can easily block their calls. But the emails are coming from multiple sources. We told them to piss off and now the sales manager is emailing us. Needless to say, after this experience we wouldn't think about going back there. If they would have left it with the fond goodbye at the door and made one follow-up attempt. I wouldn't be writing this book of how not to do sales in this day and age. The kid that helped us seemed nice but sadly his manager is going to lead him down a path that may not get him far. Kid, run while you can. You have potential, but only under the right tutelage!!

My husband has been bringing our car here for 4 years because they worked with our Max Care…read morewarranty. Every year our air conditioning breaks and we have spent thousands of dollars fixing it. I started to feel something shady was going on after the issue kept happening. The last time we had our air conditioning fixed, they kept the car for 9 days because they said they needed to do a quality assurance test and that they also went ahead and fixed our shock absorbers because it would be covered by the warranty (we didn't ask for this work to be completed). When we finally picked up the car, the engine and under carriage covers were in our trunk! How did this happen if they were doing a quality assurance test? They did send someone out to our house to put the covers back on but only after my husband refused to bring the car back to the shop. Two weeks later we got a flat tire and brought the car to a local mechanic to fix the tire. During a complimentary car check, they discovered our air filters were absolutely filthy, our battery was close to dying, and the car's alignment was off! How the hell none of this caught at Arndt is beyond me. We will no longer be bringing our car to Arndt unfortunately.

That was very nice of them.. he also charged me $285 to tell me that my engine was blown. They first said they would do a complimentary electronic analysis and said there were cylinders misfiring.. I didn't feel comfortable with their assessment so I had it towed to a shop I knew was reputable through my own experience and they determined I had a broken valve spring. They replaced the valve spring for $400 and I got my truck back running tremendous as it always did. If I had gone with them they would have trashed my perfectly good motor. I do not recommend this establishment as I do not have faith in their mechanics.
