    BEWARE. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Absolutely, the most dishonest and…read moreunfair service I've ever dealt with. The facts: Freezing cold. My truck broke down at the DeKalb, IL Toll Plaza. I needed to be towed 56 miles to my home near Chicago. Northern Illinois Towing quoted $345 to my motor club. The club only covers $125. The $230 difference would be out of pocket! I told my motor club dispatcher to forget it and call another service. They couldn't find anybody else local. It seems the tollway is a racket with only one tow service per x stretch of miles. I was trapped with no alternative so I said send him and I'll try and negotiate a better price or have him drop my car closer to home off the tollway when my $125 allowance expired. The driver (and company owner) told me it was $80 just to hook up the car plus the tolls and mileage to get to me. So the $125 was basically gone before I got in his cab. Great. I offered cash if he would reduce his fee. He refused. He also added that if I paid with a credit card, it would be $11 more. I had no recourse but to pay him $238.10 when we arrived at my home. Technically, this is as close to highway robbery as one could get. Legal? Probably. Honest and helpful? Nope. I filed a complaint with my Motor Club and will, futilely, seek a reimbursement for some of the money. Why pay for a motor club membership if they don't screen the services they offer. Stay away from this unfair gouger. A nightmare.

    Bill White's C.A.R. Hospital is the only repair shop I ever want to go to...ever! And, I am an…read moreuptight freak about car repair: terrified of unanticipated problems and high repair costs. I've used Bill White's C.A.R. Hospital several times this summer. My car is fun to drive, but at 15 years old, it always needs something. My greatest concern is an unanticipated breakdown, and that's exactly what happened the first time I visited the C.A.R. Hospital. Usually, there's a clear view from the shop area to the waiting area/service desk--where I anxiously crane my neck to see where my car sits in the line of work. Usually, the waiting area is cramped and unclean, a place for stale coffee and man-picked TV. Usually, I find myself on the receiving end of vague terms with hens-and-haws, until I prove my cursory understanding of a fuel combustion engine and the ABS system. Here's what it's like at Bill White's: complementary beverages if you need to wait; free local pick-up and drop-off when requested; always friendly and polite service counter assistance by Rachel, Joy, and Bill; absolutely clear communication about diagnosis of problem and solution to problem, clear communication about the reasonable price of service or repair, and clear communication about exactly when work will be completed; lastly, there's a thank you card or coupon in the mail--real savings, not just some stupid systems-check, on something a car really needs. Did I mention that I'm an uptight freak about car repair?! If Bill White's C.A.R. Hospital can make a vehicle repair neurotic like me happy, I'm certain everyone should choose this business.

    They always are fair with pricing and very nice! Also, if you go here they are very honest about…read morewhat does and doesn't need to be done. Had another mechanic tell me I needed new rear brakes urgently, took it here to find out they actually still have lots of life left! Will never take my car anywhere else.

We…read morecompletely rehabbed our 2000 SSEi at a garage in WA and a year later, we started having problems. Motorworks found metal shavings in the oil, among other horrible things that should not have happened in an overhauled $15,000 job. And before you get on me about spending $15k on a Bonneville ... yeah, not the best decision, but I digress ... They took great care of Daisy and checked things we didn't expect just to make sure she was in good shape. They love superchargers, was the explanation. Well, here, take my supercharger then. Just keep doing what you're doing. We've since been back with our anti-climactic Ford Fusion and a flat tire, and still -- although undeniably not a supercharger -- took amazing care of Hypatia. Thorough, professional, passionate, affordable, friendly, knowledgeable ... everything you want and need in auto service!

    Wasted my time. I…read morecalled ahead and spent about 20 minutes explaining my situation: my catalytic converter is failing, the OEM part is around $4,000, and I was looking for a shop willing to install an aftermarket part. I made it clear I understood the risks and that there would be no guarantee if I went aftermarket. After hearing the price, the person on the phone said they spoke with a manager and that they were willing to work with me after doing a diagnostic. When I arrived in person, it was as if that entire conversation never happened. They refused to quote or consider aftermarket at all, despite me repeating that I understood the risks. When I mentioned the phone call, they dismissed it and even suggested I must have called the wrong place--despite having all my information for the appointment and it being my first time there. I don't fault any shop for choosing not to install aftermarket parts. I fault them for telling me one thing over the phone just to get me in the door. If I hadn't double‑checked, they absolutely would have charged me for the diagnostic and then refused to do the work they previously agreed to.
