That's when we noticed a strange sound coming from our car. Uh oh. That's not good when we are hundreds of miles from home with the two kids. I found Absolute Automotive on Google Maps and took the car in. Jim was so nice and was able to fix our car's issue in roughly the time it took us to eat lunch. We were back on the road and the car was running great again. Jim really saved us. Thanks, Jim!

My daughter found Absolute Automotive in Coal City. I needed a brake job. Jim, the owner, did a fantastic job and charged a fair price. I recently experienced the dreaded "Check Engine" light phenomenon and took my car to Absolute. The diagnostics were inconclusive. Jim conducted a couple of weeks of research into finding the cause of the phantom light. In the end, he replaced the intake manifold gasket and mass air flow sensor. Again, the cost was more than fair. My car, which has 165,000 miles on it is running like its brand new. This is a business you can trust to solve your automotive issues.

In reconsidering, I'll relate just one of those "bad" experiences: After one of these "bad experiences" (a brake repair gone wrong), I was forced to take the vehicle up to one of the few Meineke Care Care Centers that had a good service rating, located in a suburb north of Chicago. After the Cook County Meineke fixed the brakes issue, the owner confided in/to me that they had fixed what was essentially a butcher job by the Bourbonnais Meineke shop. This was a vehicle--a "dangerous" vehicle after the initial brake "repair"--that we had given to our daughter and son-in-law and that much of the time had our two precious young granddaughters as passengers. In all fairness to the owner of the Bourbonnais Meineke, he attempted to make amends by giving us a $25 gift card to the Olive Garden. Needless to say, we never used it. The 5 star reviews, outnumbering the (6 or 7) 1 star* &/or 2 star* reviews, would attest to a fair amount of good experiences from a "lucky" group of patrons, so, (as Dirty Harry so sardonically said) if you're feeling "lucky", . . . -- [* The 1 & 2 star reviews--I advise you read them; there's some real horror stories in there. And owner Bill does have what I'd describe as a very unctuous bedside manner.]

Just to find after a few hours of tear down. There wasn't anything wrong with the part in question. So I wasted money on a diagnostic fee and the parts they claimed were faulty.. just find out several hundred dollars later the part was fine. There has to a lil play in the front hubs so the 4x4 can correctly engage. And they wouldn't budge on the price to do what i originally asked to have done on my 2500. So needless to say they will no longer be working on any more of my vehicles And the lady that answered the phone seems to enjoy talking down to their customers even when they are very knowledgeable about the issues they are having. Sadly I have seen this happen a few times at the Bourbonnais location as well as her talking down to me. Not really something I like to see and deal with when I'm already stressed about getting my truck serviced Most the time I will do my own repairs seeing I am a gear head and am extremely knowledgeable about the repairs I'm seeking. Just upsetting to have to deal with that kind of rudeness when I'm already stressing about the repairs. Maybe it's time to hire someone that is nicer to run the counter that will not talk down and run off the customer. So long story short. I will no longer be a patron to this shop.

There was zero communication during the day, and the sudden price jump felt completely unjustified. To top it off, I brought my car to another shop the very next day. They had it done ASAP with zero issues--and the total cost was only $169. That says a lot. Completely disappointed in the lack of transparency, professionalism, and honesty. I won't be back and can't recommend them to anyone.

OLIVET PARENT REVIEW…read more I'm a skeptic by nature. When it comes to how I view mechanic shops, I always assume they are crooks and liars until they prove otherwise. WOW! This Midas location proved otherwise 10 times over! We had a VERY intermittent problem with our A/C and we were 8 hours from home for a visit to Olivet. Jim (owner) and his team didn't brush the problem off just because they couldn't reproduce it. They dug in and kept going until they thought they had found the issue. We drove the car that evening and the intermittent problem happened again. I knew that when a problem is that sporadic that it is very difficult for a mechanic to diagnose, so I was not upset with them, but I expected for them to be frustrated to see me back the next morning. There was no frustrated, but a smiling, warm welcome and immediate empathy with me that the problem was not resolved. (AJ at the front desk is simply amazing!) They spent the day digging in again and by the end of the day were confident they had figured out the problem -- and they had! On top of it all, they could have charged me for a lot of labor for those two days of work, but Jim was so kind and I walked out having paid much less than would have been reasonable. My experience here was not simply based on the service rendered, but the interactions with the owner and team convinced me that I had a shop that were dedicated to honesty and fairness; wanting to build relationships, not grab dishonest bucks. My daughter will be beginning her freshman year at Olivet this Fall and this is where she will be taking her vehicle for maintenance and service. Thank you, Jim, AJ and the Midas crew!

The price of the oil change was reasonably priced since they were having a sale. After this procedure I was informed that my day time running light was out ( I was aware) they offered to replace it, I asked how much, I was told since a difficult process to replace the bulb it would be $100. I reluctantly decided to have it replaced. After it was done ( didn't take too long) my car was ready. The light bulb was $100 but the labor was more than the light bulb! I was not told about the labor charge, because I was led to believe the whole thing was "$100 . What a dishonest practice! I didn't notice a price chart nor did I look, since I trusted them. Never again! How do you people sleep at night, doing this to your customers? I will not be returning to your shop, for anything again.

You lied, or to say the least, you were bluffing, exaggerating or misleading me. To change the power steering fluid, you need to overhaul the entire power steering system?

We ran into this place on its 'secret' customer appreciation day. yes, we got free hot dog and pop. Beside that, the young representative gave me a tour underneath the car and for the first time in my life, I was shown by a mechanic where the oil filter is actually located and was explained to what a canister oil filter is. He offered to do this. See how this small kind of gesture made a difference! Great customer experience."
