They replaced my battery and the cost wasn't terribly outrageous. They also recommended a company for towing since my car wouldn't start which turned out to be a fantastic recommendation. Whilst the service was quick, I wish they hadn't acted as though my concerns were ridiculous. I also was surprised that they expected me to come that same day to pick it back up. They called at 2-something to let me know it was ready and they close at 5, and when I asked if I should pick up it up the following morning he said he had cars coming and would rather I come that day. When I asked if the following day before 9 would work they said ok, but I was able to finagle it to come the same day after all. Just thought it was weird that they assumed someone would be able to pick up the same day.

Continued to fail emissions test and other than being told to put more miles on to complete a drive cycle and out $ 575.00 nothing else in spite of their 100% pass guarantee. I took it to Factory Muffler on Central Park in Skokie. They got it to pass and don't charge you if they don't. They asked what work had been done I showed them the receipt with only a charge for labor. They said I'd been taken for a ride, not literally. $300.00 later and they took it thru the testing process for me and presented me with the pass certification.

Think that a woman is stupid but it is not the building reputation but the people (like Marco ) that bring the clients and the service was based on their reputation NOT the North Shore Meineke owners.

I pulled over and then cautiously drove Touhy Ave looking for a tire store that might check the torque of the lug nuts for me. I came up upon Lind Auto Service and pulled in and was greeted by the owner, Steve Lind. He took his torque wrench and checked the wheels, then drove it around the block. He suggested that we drive at a higher speed and we did. No shimmy, no shake and whatever it was had corrected itself. He would not accept any money for the half hour he had spent. He said his dad had started the business 50 years ago and he went to work with him at a young age. It's so nice to find an independently owned shop with such a nice honest owner. If I lived nearby, I would trust him with all my car repairs! Thanks so much, Steve!

Within 24 hours, everything was repaired perfectly. The whole experience couldn't have gone any smoother. Don and Ian were a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend this place.

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.
