This auto shop is right beside the Mobil on Waukegan Road. It is kinda small and rundown, not a pretty sight. But pass over this auto shop at your own expense, if you are willing to pay premium price to make you feel better with better aesthetics and maybe a comfy lounge with a cup of complimentary coffee. But you do realize you have to pay for those extras right? Ya, I did, $45 for oil change! Here at Shin's Accu Auto, oil change, check brakes, and tyre pressure in 30 minutes for $25! This is the second time I have come here after a friend recommended them for their great price and quality work! The Korean boss doesn't talk much, but he knows his stuff and is very quick in his work. His staff is more talkative and is really friendly and helpful. I had a few questions regarding my car and he gave me great advice and always trying to help me save a few more dollars! read more

Shin's Accu Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

The mechanic, Jess, was friendly, polite, and professional. He took us right away and had our tire patched in less than 10 minutes. He then charged us an incredibly reasonable amount, finally explaining that the warning light on the dash would go away after driving for a bit. A competing business down the road which advertises themselves as a business that does just tires had previously told us that the tire could not be patched, and wanted to charge hundreds of dollars to replace the tire. Don't go to them, go to Shin's Accu Auto. These guys are the best. I live and work in Deerfield, I'm going to recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Moved but still come back to this mechanic. You won't find more honest mechanics anywhere. And their rates are crazy reasonable. Peter is very knowledgable and they never try to upsell you on anything. No frills and attached to a gas station but it's full service and it's also really easy to get in there. They are always very accommodating of my schedule. read more

I've been coming here for years. They are honest and experienced. Do yourself a favor - stop getting ripped off at stealerships and support a great local business like this. read more

Had a emergency car repair and the mechanic was able assess the problem, fix it and sent me on my way! Very Appreciative!! read more

Had a leak in my tire. Called and was told I could bring my car right over. My car was ready within 30 minutes of me dropping it off. I was thrilled with the minimal cost to have my tire repaired. The best part was there was no discussion and pressure to buy new tires. I asked for my tire to be fixed; my tire was fixed. Plus, I helped a local shop and not a chain. read more

Great service and pricing. My go to auto mechanic for all of my cars. Feels good to know there is a truly trusty auto guy I can recommend.

For every service I needed, the owner made sure I was taken care of. Always has the customer's best interests in mind. Thank you for always going above and beyond. read more

This is my go to place for auto repairs. I trust them more than anyone else.

My father has taken and recommended all of our family to get their car serviced from Mr. Shin for YEARS. I'm talking tens of thousands and thousands of dollars spent with him and my whole family trusted him to fix their cars. Drove far even to support a good business. That is until now. His quality of work has gone down and completely unprofessional for a car mechanic. He's a rip-off. He never answers the phone, and when he schedules appointments and you show up and there's a sign that he's on VACATION?? The cherry on top was when my check engine light went on and he said it would be a couple hours to find out what was wrong. Told him and his assistant specifically to call me with an estimate before he worked on anything. Calls me later to say it was $495 and he already fixed it. No calls prior about what "issue" it was. THAT'S ILLEGAL. My dad also had work done on his car and was told it was a certain price. We go to pick it up and now it's $100 more?!? He's definitely taken advantage of my family and I recommend you go somewhere else. read more

Go elsewhere and don't waste your time. There's a reason you can't find this place on Google Maps. Mr. Shin couldn't even be bothered to see my car after I'd made an appointment and drove up from the city, 20 miles. Very disappointed, since he came recommended from a friend. read more

The absolute best! Mr. Shin and his team are professional and most importantly HONEST. I can't tell you how many times I've brought my car in with a minor issue (like a squeaky door or something) and they've fixed it without charging me. Mr. Shin is a class act and I will not take my car anywhere else. read more

This business is awesome. I've had multiple works done on my car this year and they are honest, fast, and reliable. I appreciate the no-nonsense approach to fixing vehicles. Will be coming back to this business for everything related to cars. read more

The service here is phenomenal. I almost don't want to write this review, because referring more people means longer wait times for me. Speaking of wait times, you won't wait long. I've had my aging vehicle in for repairs several times. The service is quick, but on top of that, they do a good job diagnosing your vehicle and they give you options, if there are options. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. read more

Walked in at 10 AM on a Friday morning in February and they were able to take me right away. I was awkward at first because I wasn't sure where to walk in or wait, but they let me hang out in the garage with them. Pedro did my oil change and let me ask a ton of questions about the process. I'd never seen an oil change live before so I was fascinated. He was so patient with me, explained everything, checked my tire pressure, filled up my antifreeze, showed me where the power steering stuff went, and made sure that my "check oil" light was indeed off before asking for the standard $25. These guys are no frills, get in and get done kind of workers. This was my second time here and I will remain a loyal customer for as long as I'm working in this area! read more

Couldn't finish my sketch in the time of an oil change. His philosophy of only doing work when absolutely necessary is the complete opposite of the want-fries-with-that jiffy lube. We trust them. read more

Shin's Accu Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

They not worth 1 star. My wife hit side brick on front wheel. My car keep going towards one side. I bring it to them. They repair. I spend almost $1000 for four tire at Costco. In 2 month, I got flat tire. I check my tire. Two front tire worn out one side only. I ask them repair again. They do it again but it still worn out one side. This time I ask them repair and replace my new tire because it was there mistake and I had to replace 3 times on 2 front tire. They told me that they repair and replace 1 new tire. But still same thing happen. I bring it to the other repair shop. They told me that this is not new and they this wrong I was busy. My wife bring back to Shin's auto. Guess what they told my wife. Replace tire every 6 month. What a idiot. My wife and I realized that they done have skill and not want to talk to them again. I went to other repair shop and it works great. I hope same think happen to there family and run into same problem that my wife and I go through. He is not skilled person and not have responsibility on their work. I will not go back to this shop again. read more

I work out in the suburbs and live in the city and any time I need my car looked at, I take it to Shins. I have an old car that I'm honestly just trying to keep alive until I can afford a better one so I need good & honest opinions when it comes to repairs. Shin's does just that with the best customer service around. I've had sudden problems come up multiple times on my way into work and I've been able to drop it off in the morning and pick it up by the time I head back home that afternoon. They're honest, friendly, thorough, extremely affordable and fast! I guarantee I'll be using Shin's until I'm no longer working in the northshore area. Even then, I still might make the trip. read more

Ditto everything Inna says. Honest, well priced, takes walk-ins. If the job is going to take a while to complete, you're a block away from the nice strip mall with Barnes & Noble, Potbelly, Whole Foods, and other nice restaurants. I drove past this guy a million times before asking about a walk-in oil change. I had him do my brakes next. They don't look it, but I think they can handle pretty much anything. If you have to drop it off and you have kids with you, and its a nice day, next to the Whole Foods (actually next to the Potbelly) is small but nice park. Or take the kids to eat at Kevin's Place just up the block. Imagine that, take your kids to the park, get the car fixed, grab some grub and and a book, all at once and all within a couple of blocks. And you thought you could only do that in Chicago! read more

For some reason, this gas station and the Marathon next door always have the best prices for gasoline in this area. You won't find another gas station for miles that offers gas this low. Across the street is a Shell gas station that is usually .04 cents more. This Mobil also has two pumps which are Full service, which means an attendant will come out and pump your gas for you as well as check your fluids (if you ask) and clean your windshields, etc. For this you pay almost ten cents more per gallon. Additionally they have a full service garage which is open most of the day, though I believe the garage is it's own entity separate from the gas station. read more

This place is by far - by far - the best / most honest / quickest / friendliest / most customer-friendly auto repair place I've been to. Anytime I ever have a car in need of servicing, I will take it here. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my oil changed here b/c Audi now makes their cars so only a dealership or someone with special equipment can change the oil. Shin would never make a car like this! read more

They are not closed. The phone number given is incorrect. The phone number is 847-236-1163. Was there Monday, to check the A/C on my Jeep. He's still at the 650 Waukegan Road, Deerfield location, Mobil gas station. He's one of the best. No B.S. like other mechanics, just honest about what might be causing the problem(s). He's one of the very few mechanics that I would recommend for people who need to have their car(s) looked at. It took only 20 minutes to find out what was causing the problem in my Jeep. If the problem is going to take awhile. Just up the block, there is a Barnes & Nobles, Whole Foods?, and some fast food restaurants in the area. read more

After reading all the positive reviews I decided to go to this place for regular oil change. I smelled oil on the next few days when I had AC turned on, but didn't pay much attention. Very recently I noticed some leakage in my parking garage. When I opened up the front lid, it turned out that they forgot to put back the oil cap after the oil change!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! Definitely the worst car service I've ever had. read more

DAN no longer works here, but HE did pretty good work done on my vw passat. It needed front brakes pads and rotors at reasonable prices too. Next is the timing belt...uggghhhh! But now i have a new mechanic in Rogers Park. read more

Shins is a treasure. The owner is a true master mechanic and I trust them completely. Most shops...especially dealerships, are very quick to replace multiple expensive parts, Shins actually fixes things when they can and saves you a fortune. Very fair and reliable people. read more

Finding a reliable, honest mechanic that doesn't jack up parts prices is harder than nailing Jell-O to a tree. You'll find that you have now found 1 of the holy trinity of three that everyone must have in a city (a good lawyer, good doctor and good mechanic) and thus it is a HUGE find. If you live within a 30 mile radius and need any work done on your vehicle, go to Shin's. They will do an honest day's work for a honest day's pay. We had our front brake pads replaced on our SUV that the dealer quoted $270 with a coupon, another independent mechanic quoted $215 and Shin's did the entire job AND rotated our tires AND replaced the pads with higher-quality ceramic brake pads for $145 out the door. Daniel showed us the old parts and explained the entire job in detail to us and was extremely fast----just over an hour which was time for a saunter and a bite at Whole Foods around the corner. Cannot be beat! read more

Man, really honest guy who charges excellent prices for solid work. It is a no-frills, old school joint that can easily be missed cause it's a gas station (no fancy coffee and waiting room here). But the work is dependable and he gains repeat customers . . . at least in my circle of friends and family. read more

Great shop. I did a walk-in for an oil change on a Saturday and they turned my car around in 20 minutes This is the first place I've found that will do an oil change for less than $35. They proved to be super-honest with pricing: they charged me $25 because my car takes a standard filter. If it didn't, then the price would've been $30-35. They could have easily charged me $35 without my knowing any better. Will definitely keep going back to them for basic car service needs. read more

Brought my 97 dodge caravan piece of shit into shins without an appointment for an inspection and they took me in even though it seemed like they were busy. Very quick, very friendly service gave me a run down of what was wrong with my car. Definitely would recommend. read more

This is an updated review. They are honest and great but they also don't give a crap how long they keep customers waiting. I've been waiting for at least 30 mins and the owner is just sitting at his computer in the office and told me to wait. I'm thinking of yelping for another auto repair shop right now! read more

Shin's is a good place to get work done as long as they are familiar with the car. Dan, who used to work here, was really good (I have no idea where he went to). Mr. Shin is very good as well. Mr. Shin's other assistants are only OK. I stayed to watch them do some recent work which was a good idea because they would have forgotten a couple parts otherwise. Mr. Shin corrected them. Overall, I'd recommend Shin's for basic maintenance and general troubleshooting if you have a more common car or if Mr. Shin does the work himself. They have easily the best prices in the North Shore and do solid work for most things, but if you have a less common car be sure to watch them do the work so you know they don't forget anything. read more

Love this shop. Sometimes they're a little tough to understand on the phone because of the accent, but the work is good, fast, and the price is fair. I have been to Shin's at least 4 times now for various work from oil changes to much bigger repairs and have been happy with the work every time. I drop off in the morning, they get the work done same-day, and the price is great. They did a new water pump for me, I had the same work done by Pep Boys years ago. The price at Shin's was way better, and they showed me the old parts they had pulled out so I could see the damage. Same story on the work I'm having done now. I went to Sears for alignment (Shin's doesn't do alignment) and they wouldn't do it because they said I needed suspension repairs. The quote at Sears was brutal, so I waited til I could get to Shin's. They test drove it, inspected it, and called me to tell me exactly what it needs and quote me a much better price. I hope this shop stays open forever, I have an old car and it's such a relief to have a shop where I can get it worked on at a fair price. read more

Really friendly staff. Couldn't quite fix what I needed done. But it was difficult and close to closing. He did what he could and I appreciated the thoughtfulness. read more

My 2007 bmw 335i had engine issues that would have cost an arm and a leg to fix at the dealership. Shin's auto was able to address the issue and fix my car in a matter of days at a very affordable price. These guys rock read more

Honest, hard working, thorough, and inexpensive... what more do you want? They did a tire rotation and oil change on my 2010 Mazda in 15 min. Two men worked on my car at the same time. The owner is a bit difficult to understand, but that's my fault, not his. Total for oil change and tire rotation: under $40. Skip the luxury shop with the stale free cookies and lazy mechanics and come to this place. I'll definitely be back! read more

I had serviced my car since 2009 here and I have to say Mr. Shin (Korean) is honest tech I have ever met. Often times you go to repair shop they always try to get you additional repairs, often times unnecessary. Mr. Shin would tell you when you need to get it, and he will often say TODAY is not the day. He also refer me to a tire shop down the road where I got a good discount on tires. Before then I had tire rack ship the tires to the shop and have them install it for me. This place is inside the Mobil gas station, don't go into the shop next door which also has the shop in the gas station. There is B&N book store and Whole Food Grocery just around the corner to wait but you can also sit and watch the repair being performed. I pay cash for small stuff but they do take credit card. read more

Mr. Shin is hard working no BS mechanic. He doesn't look for a ways to rip you off, just do and suggest only the necessary work. Beside regular maintenance work, I have also ordered tires from internet and had him install it for me. The total saving wasn't much but no hassle of upselling or try to add more service was worth more than visiting tire chains. He have small sign by the garage shop door so it's easy to miss but just look for a mobil station. read more

I have used them for years.They do great work and stand behind it. Dan will explain things and they are honest and the prices fair.Far better than the ripoff dealers read more

I've used them before and I brought my vehicle in today as I failed my emissions test a few weeks ago. (Frustrated me as I stayed up late studying for it!!) I needed to pass that to get my state sticker. He did the work needed and called me to advise it was ready to go. When I went in to get my car I learned he had already taken the car to the emissions testing center and gotten the required test done which I passed. It's about 10-15 minutes each way and even if you are in and out in 2 minutes he devoted about 30 minutes of his time, not mine, and did not charge me more than he originally quoted. This place is the best!! read more

I was so pleased with the great service i received here. Everything about my experience was top-notch Honest, great communication and very speedy service. I had my brake pads replaced for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Shin's read more
