I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT OTHER PLACE HAD BEEN OVER CHARGING ME!! Until, I discovered this wonderful, & trustworthy business!! These people are straight forward, & charge such reasonably rates, that I've questioned them, to make sure they did everything I wanted. Have no doubt! They've done the work on my 17 year old baby's car! They've fixed things, I thought were new... but, saw w/ my own eyes, the dealer had not done what they said!! The first time I called them, I had asked this cute little auto parts store, on Wilson, a few blocks away, where to take my Daughters car. They gave me Batavia Avenue Mobil's phone number. They went & picked up my Daughter's car, right away! Then, they called me, just an hour later, w/ the diagnosis, & price. I talked w/ them about different options. I, always do the best, most safe thing, for my Daughter (still my baby!). So, I braced myself, for the $1500.-$3000. I was used to paying, the dealer! Especially when he warned me, it would be expensive! So, he says: $300. I kid you not!! He got everything fixed perfectly, in no time!! I can't tell you, how relieved, & happy I am, to have discovered this sweet, little Bedford Falls-esk ("It's A Wonderful Life") Auto repair/gas station! I, considered not leaving this review, so, I could keep this little gold mine, my little secret. lol! But, these folks deserve lots of good business! They are just an honest to goodness little gem! Their name is either "Batavia Avenue Mobil", or "Citco" Which is how it's listed on Yelp. Whatever name, the address is the same: 27 N Batavia Ave, Batavia IL 60510. 1-(630)-879-0999.

The dealership wanted to charge me $300 for the part but I found it online OEM for $45. Hyundai said I can bring in the part no problem and they would just charge me labor. So I called Abe and Docs to see if they could compete on labor. The guy at Abe and Docs tells me on the phone he doesn't deal with people bringing in their own parts. When I asked, "Why if it's an OEM Hyundai part?" he said, "I have to make money on parts to make ends meet." So he openly admitted to me that he needs to charge mark-up on parts for customers. Wow. So this is not a "service shop" this is also a glorified retail parts store. That's pretty pathetic that they couldn't match or beat the $105 an hour in labor charges. So be aware, if you are getting anything done with this guy he is trying to rip you off on parts just like the big stealerships. Edit 9/30 - Mark L. I'm very understanding that a business needs to make money to keep the lights on. A lot of people realize parts are marked up 300%+ and it has nothing to do with quality. Regardless, when we spoke you made no effort to try to compete with the pricing of the dealership. Either with the price of their parts or their hourly rate. You know just as well as I that you can source quality parts cheaper than the dealership and pass the savings onto the customer. Again, you did not offer to do that. But thanks for making it seem like I hung up on you. I did not. In fact there was a long awkward pause where you could've offered to give me a quote. Instead you acted like I was bothering you. I was very polite as were you just too dismissive. If you were busy I understand but if you plan on keeping repeat customers such as myself (Yes, I've had work done from you guys before. ;) I would suggest working with the customer a little more.

I purchased Bridgestone Dueler tires at a significantly lower price compared to the dealership & labor cost was also reduced. My car was returned to me at the promised time, which I appreciated. This branch features a spacious & clean waiting area, along with nearby food establishments in case you get hungry while you wait. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service provided & the value of the tires. It's also important to note that with every tire purchase, customers receive several complimentary services, including free rotation, rebalancing, air checks, tire inspections & flat repairs.

My husband's manual car was having some issues slipping when…read moretrying to shift gears and then his transmission light came on - I was worried the clutch was burnt out, and sure enough when Merlin called to let us know that was the issue, they were genuinely sympathetic about it, because that's such a costly repair. Upon further inspection, the fly wheel was also beyond saving ( see attached pictures from Merlin). I was so stressed out, but they worked with us to find a way to pay off the amount of work, and I am beyond relieved! But, it gets worse, the part was out of stock everywhere. So after about 5 days, when they finally got the part, they stayed after hours to finish it up so we could pick it up the very same evening. Special shout out to Patrick and Steve whom we worked with, and Steve for offering me tissues! My husband drove the car home and said it feels like a completely different vehicle (in a good way) I would definitely recommend Merlin's for honest and timely work. We are so appreciative.

I brought my wife's 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit in for new brakes and rotors. A few weeks…read morelater, my wife noticed the brakes were making a squealing noise during turns so I brought the vehicle back to have it inspected. I was charged $100 just for them to look into the issue. What was most concerning was learning that when the brakes and rotors were replaced a few weeks earlier, the shop chose to install lower-quality aftermarket parts rather than OEM parts. The original components on the vehicle were OEM, but instead of giving us the option to choose, the service advisor of Indian descent told me they used cheaper parts because OEM parts were "too expensive" and would make them less competitive. That decision was made without our knowledge or approval. When it comes to critical safety components like brakes, customers should always be given the option and informed about the quality of parts being installed. Choosing lower-quality parts to save money--without discussing it with the customer--raises serious concerns about quality, safety, and reliability. At the very least, we should have been given the option to replace the parts with OEM components or informed beforehand about what was being installed. Instead of rectifying their original mistake they shifted focus to other parts (pins) that still didn't address the issue at hand. Hence, I would not recommend if you're looking for honesty, quality, safety, and RELIABILITY.
