Kelly and I have been taking our cars here for close to 10 years. We have always received honest up front recommendations; Paul and team do not fish for unnecessary work. Always dependable and reasonably priced. read more

Paul and his team are great paul is always ready to help if I have a problem he gives me his advice first even before bringing in the vehicle I will always bring in my car to him he is old school honest and with integrity thank you paul .Carlos traverse read more

My office is located down the street from the shop, myself and a few coworkers have been serviced by Triangle multiple times and all have had great experiences. Paul and crew are extremely knowledgeable, they explain everything top to bottom, and overall you feel confident driving away knowing your car has been serviced above your expectations. Pricing is also extremely reasonable. read more

My husband gifted me with an awesome pre-owned VW convertible. I took it here to get a good 'once over'. I was expecting to get a call telling me that the car needed some work, but nope, they called me to say that the car was flawless.....! I did end up getting new tires, and they did a great job. But I honestly thought they would find something else to fix. They are the most honest and reliable mechanics in the city. And fast too! The car was in and out within a day. I hope I don't see them soon, but I now know where to go should I need a great mechanic! read more

I highly recommend this shop! I am very apprehensive when it comes to getting my car fixed at a new place. My car was towed here after it died, and we didn't know what was wrong with it. Paul was great. He called me after they looked at it and gave me a detailed run down of the issues and things which needed to be fixed. He went over the estimates, and gave me the worst case cost if more than what was visible needed to be fixed. He made it clear nothing would be done or charged without a discussion. He called several times with updates, made very solid recommendations, and not all the things we thought could need fixing, needed to be done. I really appreciated the way they reviewed everything and the recommendations made. And they finished everything in a day! Great and trustworthy service! I will definitely continue using them! read more

Great experience with these guys!!!! Radiator blew on way home and called these guys and they were consummate pros. From start to finish. Kept me in the loop through the day and scored high on service!!!! Teamwork was great and no one I spoke with dropped the ball. A-1 Service. Thanks Brian and Paul for going the extra mile!!!!! read more

They deserve 0 stars. They dented our work truck and then want to play dumb about it. Way to ruin the contract with a federal employer. read more

Triangle Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The best! There has to be a few thousand auto shops around town- which one is the right one? Who can you trust? Bryan, Paul and Gary are the best you can find! Honest, fair, quick, nice........I've been using Triangle for 5 plus years now, 2 different cars and they are always reliable! read more

I can't say enough good things about Triangle. I have brought my car and my wife's car there on several occasions and been very satisfied every time. I'm a pretty handy guy and I've been tinkering with cars for a long time. I usually have a pretty good idea what's wrong when something breaks. I don't always have the time or energy to fix what's broken so I take it in. I can usually tell when someone is trying to sell me stuff I don't need and Triangle has never pulled that nonsense. Today they actually told me not to fix something I thought was broken (and the dealership said was) and was not. How easy would it have been from them to just fix it to make a buck. Their prices are super competitive (probably too low) and the service is top notch. THANKS AGAIN! read more

For their U-Haul Truck Rental: We reserved via u-haul online for a 9am pick-up on a Tuesday. We were late! They called US to confirm if we were still renting it and we said yes, but within the next hour & they were fine with it. We got there and while there were other customers in line for auto repair section, the woman helped us immediately for the u-haul rental. All were very nice & courteous, we had a pleasant experience renting with them. Wish they had a bigger truck option, but we did what we could with what we had. Rental process was swift, we moved our items for the day & returned the truck later that evening via dropbox. We would definitely rent with them again. They were so nice & pleasant to work with! read more

Triangle has THE BEST service and staff. Have you ever told yourself, "I wish there was a car repair shop that I could trust to do the job right at a fair price?" Triangle is where you need to go. I went to Thom's Four Wheel for a simple oil change and they told me it'd take all day and wouldn't budge or even give me an accurate estimate on when I'd be able to pickup my car. I chose to go to Triangle instead since I heard good things. They said, "We are really busy right now with some big jobs. Are you available on Tuesday? We could schedule a time and get you right in." I wasn't available and asked if they could accommodate my request to get it done that day. After assessing if they could do it, they said it'd be done in an hour. That's how you do business. Never turn a paying customer away if possible. Thank you Triangle for being flexible, professional, and trustworthy! read more

Auto repair done right!! Been using Triangle for over ten years now. I have owned several cars in that time and all have been serviced by them. Unlike my experiences with car dealer service shops Triangle checks the car and lets me know whats needs to be fixed now and what can wait. Not all of us have an unlimited checkbook so an honest assessment is a nice change when it comes to an auto repair shop. They have worked on gas and deisel cars that I have owned, deisel cars can be tricky in one case the dealer wanted $1200 for a repair. Triangle charged me $700 bucks for the same repair using the same OEM VW parts the dealer would have used. If you are in the Irving Park neighborhood definatly give them a try! read more

P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L SERVICE! I say that with no reservations. I am new to the neighborhood -- heck, fairly new to Chicago overall. And you all know that means lots of trial and error, especially when it come to finding your mechanic. I know I hit the jackpot! All thanks to my fellow yelpers. I truly randomly picked this business because my car was emitting a strong, offending odor from the engine and it smelled like coolant burning...not good. I stopped in, they took a look and gave me an honest assessment. No beating around the bush, no maybe this or that -- just straight honesty. At the end of the day, it was not as bad as expected. No leaks, the fans were fine, the cooling system was fine except for a sticking thermometer. So, I had that replaced along with an oil change and decided to go ahead and winterize my car. Not to mention the price was down right competitive or lower. And because the work was going to take a few hours, they offered to drop me off at home and pick me up. Ladies and Gents, if you need work done on your vehicle, Triangle is the place for you. Give them your business. You will not be sorry! read more

This is the best auto repair shop in the city. Paul and his guys are awesome. Only place I trust with my cars

This is my second time bringing my car to Triangle Auto Service and it has been just as great of an experience as the first time I brought my car there. This is family owned business and they genuinely care about their clients. They are very honest and always go out of their way to help. I have never experienced a better auto repair shop than Triangle Auto Service! I would definitely recommend this shop if you are looking for honest and caring mechanics. Their prices are very reasonable as well. Thank you Triangle Auto! read more

I always go to these guys. I live in Roscoe Village, and go to school up near WI, and I still go to Triangle in Chicago. I go here for oil changes, tune-ups, I've had my A/C recharged here, my serpentine belt changed, and numerous other smaller things done. The big thing: they have earned my trust. Which is amazing. I mean, "auto mechanic" and "trustworthy" go together about as well as "attorney" and "moral authority". I recently drove from Chicago to Nashville (7.5 hrs) in my '01 Monte Carlo, and beforehand took my car to Triangle and asked them to check everything out before my trip. They changed my serpentine belt, rotated my tires, plugged up a small hole in a tire, and changed my oil... but, they also told me of about 3 or 4 other things that I need to get checked out and fixed in the next few months. They didn't press me to get them done, nor did he b.s. me about their importance. Highly recommend. -Cheeers! read more

This is the second or third time I've gone to Triangle Auto Service. They are always so nice and quick when working on the car. They let you park your car in the lot and leave your keys if you need to drop it off on the off hours. When they looked at my car, they had some recommended fixes. The budget didn't allow for that today, but gave me a written quote and I'll definitely be going back there to get the fixes done. After checking in there today, I saw a yelp deal... $10 for $20. It was great. I bought it and printed it out before going back to get the car. read more

It is very rare for people to be rewarded for doing good in this world so I want to break that mold and let the good workers at Triangle know that I appreciated the professional honest work they did on my 2004 jeep cherokee. This car has been good to me but when it goes wrong its been really pricey to fix. The guys at Triangle treated me like they would one of their friends and told me things to look out for in that they have seen in this make and model which were a couple of things that I had already had to replace. Good service is worth something to me. Usually I've had to pay more for it but in this case I paid less. read more

There is a lot to say that is good about triangle. I've been getting regular service and tune ups at triangle for at least 5 years. When talking to Paul and Bryan you can tell that they are knowledgeable and care about keeping regular customers. I have told friends that they are kind of like the uncle/neighbor/friend that knows a lot about vehicles and are willing to help you out. I got a new car about a year ago and they informed me honestly about repair costs for my old car which was very helpful in making the decision to get a new one. In the past they have also just checked over my car before a long trip or if something just seems a bit off. At times I have had to wait a little while for a fix (expected in car repair and then I usually go down the street for some coffee) and they always keep me updated. I appreciate their work. read more

Triangle Auto Service is the best. I would refer EVERYONE to them because they do a fantastic job at a fair price. Gary, Bryan and Paul treat you "like family". I first found this place because of it's proximity to my house. I was taking my kids to Wisconsin for camp and wanted the car "checked out" and oil changed, etc . . . I'm so happy to have found a gem in in my neighborhood. Thanks guys (and Veronica)!!! read more

I called from the Volkswagon dealership because they were trying to charge me $230 to get a fuel system cleaning. I looked at saw other chains offering it for $90 so I thought I should shop around. The guy who answered was so nice, he told me that it wasn't really necessary and I should decline. He went on to explain that if you buy good gas it has cleansers in it that will help keep things clean. I couldn't believe how helpful and generous he was with his time. So kind, If I ever decide I do need service I would feel 100% confident going here and knowing I wasn't getting screwed over. read more

My Cadillac SRX stalled out on the express lanes to Milwaukee heading to Northbrook for Christmas. Called IDOT who towed me to Foster accident lot. Then had to find a close by honest repair shop, after searching Yelp, chose Triangle Auto Repair and Paul and his staff diagnosed a faulty starter and had it R & R and had me back on the road in 36 hrs later. Excellent customer service and fast affordable repair, Thank You Paul for your first class service. Detroit Danny read more

I've been going to Triangle for almost 10 years. These guys are awesome. Seriously. Good, decent people to do business with -- and the nicest staff you'd ever want to meet. They are very fair in terms of pricing and they level with you. I can't recommend them enough. This is small, family-owned business at its finest. They don't make 'em like this anymore. read more

Triangle is one of the best mechanics shops and a hidden gem in this city. They go out of there way to help people and are super honest. The key in our car would it turn and Brian came over two blocks away and tried to fix it onsite, then when I brought it I they gave me wonderful advise. Even though the job was something a dealer had to recode they never once did they try to steer me into a situation they couldn't handle. Paul helped me figure out what to do, and was very professional. He even called me back about a problem he noticed . I am a customer for life!! read more

Always have had a great experience with them. Super friendly and excellent customer service! I've done breaks & oil changes with them & it's always been a great experience!!! THEY EVEN HELPED ME TAKE MY DOORS OFF MY JEEP!! read more

Went for Winter Special coolant flush (by recommendation of Ashland Tire & Auto). By far the most affordable place to get this service done. They even gave me a ride back home, b/c they had a couple cars ahead of me. I went back again later in the month b/c my Jeep was still overheating on occasion. They made a quick temp. fix at no charge to get me rolling for awhile, but also gave me a detailed demonstration of how the cooling system works in my Jeep and what things I should do over the course of the year to get my system in prime condition. I went ahead and had some of it done right away at, once again, a very affordable price. Paul was a great help and easy to work with. I may update this to 5 stars later, after more time and experience. read more

Good mechanics are hard to come by. I had several mediocre or bad experiences in the city before I found Triangle. They are friendly, honest and knowledgeable, what more do you want in a mechanic? I trust them to tell me what's really wrong with my car and not pad the bill like so many other places. Nearly every time I have gone here, they have fixed my car faster and for less money than estimated. I've interacted with Paul, Bryan, and the woman who works at the front desk, and they have always been extremely helpful and polite. I'm never going anywhere else. read more

These guys are THE BEST. I don't know how many times they took a look at my piece of crap car for no charge. They're that kind of family-oriented place. They will NEVER overcharge you. They diagnose the the issue and then give you a ballpark quote and you go from there. Super honest! Can't recommend enough! read more

Amazing customer service! I picked up a uhaul here recently and the staff was the best. Top notch. My initial pick up place had majorly screwed up my move and these guys came to the rescue. I was in and out in 10 minutes. THANK YOU VERONICA! :) read more

I read the reviews for this auto repair shop and decided to take my car here. I went to a different shop, they quoted over $1,500.00 in repairs. I needed to get a second opinion. These guys told me that all the car needed was a minor repair, that cost me only $290.00. WOW!!! An honest mechanic. I will come here again. read more

Amazing service. I had my vehicle towed to Triangle after hours when my recently purchased vehicle broke down. I contacted them when they opened to let them know the situation and why my car was sitting in their parking lot. I spoke with Paul and he was awesome, gave me no hassle when I said I wanted to try and sort things out with the dealership before having anyone look at the car. When I finally did request a quote I got it quickly. I have a few friends that are very into working on cars and when I asked them if I was quoted a fair price all of them concluded I was getting a very fair and reasonable price for the work that needed to be done. They also completed the repairs a day earlier than I had expected which was such a relief. The car is running better than it was when I bought it and I've officially decided on who I'll be taking my vehicle to in the future for all general upkeep and repairs read more

yes, yes , yes! Honest, hard working fellas. My defroster was broke they fixed it for less than anyone else could. Its a family run biz and its all aces to me. read more

This shop is a new twist on CON using their knowledge to put you in a screwed situation. They say we will look at you car for nothing and if any charges arise they will let you know any $ being charged you, You a great price quoted after they tell you what problem is and in my case explained what I tried already ( my car is a 1995) $260.00 didn't sound bad for a heater core and some vacuum lines rerouted,So I said do it they said I could wait for car as it would only be 2/3 hours after this time period or close the mech. came out and said my car was fixed and ready to go I paid went to car started it and it was popping ,sputtering,jerking when I pulled out of lot and went and got mechanic who worked on it and told when My Own Heater Core was flushed ( not a new one) there could be water in engine this is why car is running like crap now and to drive it around the block which didn't work so they bring car back inside and after 5 minutes came into office ( you can only SEE what is really being done to your car as your not allowed in shop) and told me I needed a Intake manifold $650.00 bucks $910.00 total.And that my $260.00 I already paid wasn't refundable (Because I knew what was wrong with car B4 bringing in and there would be $40.00 a day "storage charges" When car was being estimated I told mech. what I had tried Plus who is the professional mechanics.Anyway I got to have car back as my foot just had surgery on it so I paid the other $650.00 for an intake manifold and after paying was told it was just intake gaskets.So for the $910.00 they put in under $75.00 in parts and $835.00 in labor they charge $98.00 bucks an hour for labor when going price is $65.00. I go back for car the next day and all seems OK besides what I got charged and drove away with heat and car running as it did when brought in and when I tried to adjust my power mirrors they both were dead as driver 1&2 seat,mirror adjustment and power seat won't move back or forward & passenger door panel was bolted down in middle and 2 inches away from window noticed by friend who is only person I have in car except my small dog worked fine for the 3 years I had car with 100000 miles on it and suddenly all went out after I got car back late next day.I brought back and they claimed they didn't touch none of the dead items so basically I did get my car heater core flushed and small elbow installed $25.00 have heat and a $45.00 intake gasket charged $835.00 for work when no core was installed or Intake Manifold as told I needed but after found only needed gasket & 4 inch metal elbow on top of engine and having a S.Load of problems when done I will be returning to Garcia's Auto Repair across the street from Humbolt Park across from park on S. Div. and California side Where I don't understand the Spanish BUT you get honesty a good price and car comes back working with nothing suddenly broke and if there is anything not right or working it is fixed free and go home knowing that you won't be back until something really go's out on your car/vehicle. Sin. D.D.C. P.S. Eek: The truth hurts. And I believe a lot of Triangles feedback Was from friends within as most are direct opposite . read more

The most reputable mechanics in Irving Park... 10 years ago. Now, just save yourself the trouble of having to get a 2nd opinion after they quote you something ridiculous and go to B&L - just as friendly and your repairs will will cost significantly less. Super "nice guys" though ;) read more

This is my first (and who knows maybe only review) I've written. I was driving to work from the suburbs when my check engine light came on and the driving became incredibly... odd. I pulled over onto Irving Park and quickly looked to Yelp for a place to look at the car. I know less than nothing about cars and in my situation was the easiest mark in the world to be exploited. The guys at Triangle took what was an awful day and made it about as good as it was going to get. They diagnosed the problem and then explained everything about what they thought was needed and why in a way that was completely clear, even to me. They then did the job in a reasonable amount of time and charged a very fair price. I talked to a couple of different friends who actually know about car repair about the experience afterwards and they both thought everything added up and were impressed. I live nowhere near this place but had one more car issue and took it to Triangle, happily passing by a boatload of other car repair places, and had a second great experience. Finding a car repair place you can trust is huge and I'll gladly sacrifice the inconvenience of their location being nowhere near my home to know that I'll be given reliably good service at a fair price. read more

Triangle is one the most no nonsense, practical auto repair shops I have ever been to. My car battery was dead on a cold winter morning and they sent two guys over to my apartment to jump my car and follow me back to the shop for a new battery. I only live 1 minute away but still! To take the time and actually care is not something we see from most businesses these days. read more

I visited Triangle Auto with a groupon for an oil change and had a great experience! They were prompt, efficient, and HONEST! While waiting for my car, I observed the team interact and listened to the head mechanic call a client to tell him that so much work was needed on his car that it was not in his best interest to throw money into the car, because it was shot. I've visited MANY auto mechanics in my life time and it's rare that they turn down business in the best interest of the customer. I was really impressed and will be back!!! Thank you Triangle! read more

Went to Triangle because of the good reviews from other Yelpers, and also they're within walking distance from my house. Been here a few times now with our cars. Friendly guys, very helpful, good prices. It's hard to find a good, honest mechanic, so I'm glad I found them. read more

there's a reason this place has 5 stars! They are efficient. My car overheated...I showed up ....they diagnosed the problem and fixed it within a few hours! They even had a guy drive me back to work! Now, it wasn't cheap but I don't think they gouged me either. The convenience was worth what I payed! read more

I don't need your excuse be honest with your self first than with costumer you overcharged me i don't buy that no way I'm going to be your costumer read more
