Very good ppl ,honest ,and hardworking ,I'm the neighbor next door to them , Gary is the owner always polite to us and the work they do is flawless,I would recommend any one with car trouble and they specialize in AC as well . read more

Although not geographically the most convenient garage from my house, I came on the recommendation of a family friend and couldn't be more pleased. Honest, easy to communicate with, and very friendly, Triangle is one of the few car-care places where I don't have to call my dad for a second opinion. Had my brakes done, several oil changes, and the cooling system (heat/AC/fan)--they were great and worked with me to get parts that were in my budget. Last week I had my bf bring the car by when the check engine light came on, and they took care of it (a hose got disconnected, possibly after my oil change at Jiffy Lube) no charge, no wait, no problem. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are my local mechanics. I am generally distrustful of mechanics since I know little to nothing about car problems. So when I finding a shop that I trust I stick with it. I've been using these guys for everything and have been fully satisfied. read more

I called about half a dozen places to try to get my blend door actuator switch repaired and no one would take it, until I finally reached Triangle Auto Service. They were incredibly knowledgable, patient and helpful, quoted me a decent price--and stuck to it! In addition they helped me out with dropping off and picking up the car over a holiday weekend with a snowstorm. I totally recommend this place. read more

Email them in the morning got a response back before lunch. They allowed me to drop off the car the next morning before hours. Got a call with an estimate that was very reasonable. Got another call that the car was done before noon. Everyone was very nice and helpful and at this time I would highly recommend taking your car here for service. read more

Great Company! I was in town For a Cubs game and hit a pothole, which cut the sidewall. The wrecker recommended Triangle Auto Service. I was there about 15 minutes before they closed. I knew the tire was an odd size so I was ready to wait til tomorrow to get it replaced but Bryan got one of his guys to go right then and pick up one tire for me. I couldn't believe it, they made me feel like I was there only concern. They had me out of there just minutes after there closing time. I've sent all of my family to them since and have only heard good things. So quit wasting your time with the big chain repair shops, and build a relation with this honest, local shop. read more

It's 100 degrees and my wife won't roll down the window cause it messes up her hair! Help!!! Hadn't used air conditioning in 02 Explorer in 2 years cause it was just blowin hot air. Afraid to take it to dealer because of past rip-offs. Checked Yelp and found triangle. A little skeptical because it's a small shop and a long way from home, but willing to travel to get service I trust. Paul and his lovely lady in the office were the best. I'm so glad i waited and trusted the ratings. Air blows cold and i can drive again. Price was so small i felt like i should have tipped them. They also noticed my air filter was totally clogged and replaced it for chump change. Thanks Triangle and thanks Yelp. read more

a few years ago I took my car in for service at another place because the "Service" light was on. I was told the problem was a faulty sensor, and the service light was giving false alarms. Pay $200 to fix the light or drive and ignore it? Ignore it I did. Recently, when I took my car in to Triangle this time, they found quite a lot that my light was legitimately warning me about. After I got over the initial shock of what all of it would cost (a thousand to make the car safe, another thou for the AC). But I decided that their explanations and priorities were indeed reasonable, and have bit, by bit, getting my old 5 (yes five) cylinder Volvo back in shape. That they can handle an odd foreign car is a credit to them as a dealer would really be some money. Not happy about the projected AC cost though, by the time I can afford that, it'll be winter read more

Recently bought a well-used Volvo XC90, knowing that it was coming up on the 97k service interval. Just before I was ready to have that done, the vehicle gave me an "anti-skid service required" message too. I researched the scheduled service and estimated cost at Edmunds, and read up on the anti-skid service (which could be due to many issues, ranging in price up to a few thousand $). Gave Triangle a chance based on good reviews here. Dropped it off after-hours. Got a call at 9:20 the next morning with the estimate, including recommendations on things that I didn't need just yet but should keep an eye on. Work was complete the same morning....total cost for anti-skid service and scheduled inspections was less than the Edmunds estimate for the scheduled inspections alone. Based on this visit, these guys are knowledgeable, honest and quick. Definitely going back here next time I need service. read more

I wallowed for years from one pricey mechanic to another until a friend recommended TRIANGLE. I began taking my cars there about two years ago. These guys are the best in Chicago. Gary, Paul, and Brian know the true meaning of customer service. Their mechanics are top-notch. They have never done work on my cars that I have not asked for and they have always advised me when my cars needed work that I may have not been aware of and they never pressured me. They keep me advised of how the cars are running; it's like going to a good doctor. Their prices are more than reasonable and they are the most personable folks you'll ever encounter in a mechanic's garage. Believe it or not, I always look forward to going to Triangle so I can catch up on all the local skinny and have a few good belly laughs. Dan Burns read more

This place was recommended to me by a co-worker. The guys at Triangle are kind, smart, & HONEST!!! As a woman coming in alone, I wasn't treated as if I was an idiot and I wasn't given any run around. These guys are here to do the right thing the right way. They have regular customers and are friendly to everyone that walks in the door. I will spread the word of this place to all of my friends, and I will be bringing my car back here whenever my car needs attention. Thank you for doing the right thing and being good people! read more

Cannot say enough nice things about this place! Everyone was so nice and they were very quick. I needed major major service done to my heater that involved taking my entire dashboard apart. They were significantly cheaper than anywhere else was able to quote me, they didn't try and add on anything I didn't need, tried multiple more affordable options first, and still managed to get my car back to me within 2 days. I highly recommend! They even sent me a Christmas card! read more

Our car broke down on us one morning and these gentleman help my husband and I push the car to there lot . They were able to fix it in one day!!! they were fantastic read more

I randomly found this station on Yelp. It had great reviews so I chose to check it out. The reviews were right. They were great! I went in for an oil change and tire service. thought the cost would exceed over 70 dollars, but was happy when it came to less than 50 dollars. They plugged my tires, changed my fluids, and gave me a oil change all while engaging in conversation and being extremely helpful and friendly! I will definitely be back again! read more

I've been here several times and have never gotten the round-around or anything except good service for a reasonable price. And they're easy to deal with. Triangle is heads above all other auto service places I've tried in Chicago. read more

STAY AWAY! These con men "fixed" my check engine light. 3 months later it was on again they said it was a different emissions problem, $800, then the very next day after getting it back again it went on again. They.Are.Liars! read more

As a woman, I always hated bringing my car in for service. Generally a service writer would go on and on about the problems with my car. How unsafe it was to drive. Then the final insult the cost of repair. This all changed when I found Triangle. Gary, Brian and Paul are the most honest guys you will ever meet. I never feel that I'm overcharged or being sold services that are not necessary. They provide clear communication on the service they perform and the car is ready as promised. We've been using Triangle for years now, in fact I almost feel like they are family. They are the best; I highly recommend you give them a try. read more

As promised, a one-star upgrade for fixing a second car as quickly, competently, and painlessly as one can possibly hope for when a major repair is involved. If you want your A/C system fixed right the first time and in a timely manner, this is your place. read more

The guys here genuinely worked to try to figure out what I (with my "internet expertise") thought was an easy fix, without making me feel like a dummy. Thanks guys!! I'll definitely be back! read more

My husband and i love the triangle. Honest friendly staff, great work, and great prices. We wish we could give them more business.

i had been looking around for a good place to get my jeep fixed. i grew up in an automotive family. but because i live in the city. i have no way to work on my own car. i was looking for a good garage to fix my water pump. and this place just happened to be right under my nose. i live like two blocks from this place. and WOW! was i impressed. they did the job and a few other touch up repairs for FREE!!! i will go here as long as i live here. i have also referred them business. it's always good to give back :) read more

These guys have served me so well over the years. Great service, great prices, and they always explain what they did and give plenty of helpful technical info that I can understand. The last time I went there I was dissatisfied, and complained. My goodness! They bent WAY over backward to make me happy. It was so unexpected and made my whole day. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I am constantly sending friends their way, and it is way past time I wrote them a glowing review on Yelp. read more

Great Job! These guys fixed my car for the exact amount that I was quoted on the phone. They were nice on the phone and in person and I felt confident leaving my car there, which is odd for me with mechanics. They fixed it quickly too! read more

I have to agree with the other reviewers... I ran across this listing back in April totally by chance, linking from review to review (started by looking for a restaurant!) and I didn't even need any car repairs at the time. Fast-forward a number of weeks, and I'm cruising down the street and hear that telltale squeak. Ugh. The brakes are going! I'm really surprised I remembered, but I have such anxiety about repair shops, the reviews stuck in my head, and I had no problem finding them when I needed them. Thanks everybody! read more

My 1990 Accord has had air conditioner issues for three years. I had been patronizing a shop in the northwest loop that obviously couldn't pinpoint my system's leak problem, but rather chose to just replace part after part (last season's part du jour was the compressor $500, probably unnecessary) in the hope that eventually they would get to the bad part and I would have air again. DO NOT patronize a garage that uses the UV light leak detection method, insist on the "sniffer device" . These master mechanics at Triangle had me diagnosed immediately! Fixed my A/C within a few hours, honored their online coupon, and did not try to up-sell to other services, even though my 20 year old car is a prime candidate. It has been three weeks and A/C still blowing COLD! Thanks Triangle. read more

Good afternoon, I know that there are only 3 stars marked on the ratings. That's because I have not decided where I was going to get my car serviced. So after reading the majority of the comments, I decided to give Triangle a call. The reason I gave the 3 stars is because of how nice and helpful Bryon was over the phone. Not only did he give a quote that I could work with, his kindness was priceless. I might just give them a try. read more

I've had many good experiences with Triangle. They've changed my oil and removed countless nails and screws from my tires--and never ONCE have they tried to sell me something I didn't need. In fact, when I dented my car by backing into the snow plow on a garbage truck, they pounded out the dent and--although I was quite pleased with the result--they weren't totally happy with it, so they charged me nothing! They are courteous and friendly and always call me with an update on what's going on and when my car will be ready. Great business to have in the neighborhood! read more

I have been going to Triangle Auto Service for years. They simply are the best. You can trust them to do the work correctly and at a very fair price. Have earned my trust over time. They always are so nice and quick when working on the car. If they find some recommended fixes that are outside your budget Gary, Bryan, or Paul will give you a written quote so you know where you stand. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I recently had to bring in my car because the check engine light was on. Not only did they finish the repair in less then a day but they called me and explained exactly what was needed to fix the car. Being a single woman I'm always intimidated when having to find someone to fix my car. However, this place is family run and you can tell. I won't be looking any further for an honest mechanic! Thanks again Triangle! read more

I'm planning on taking my car to Triangle Auto Service on 3/16/10 for a cooling system issue on my 01' Audi S4, I was recommended by a friend who is loyal custumer at Triangle + I have read good custumer experience with them as you are reading now... I'll post my experience with Triangle after vehicle serviced. read more

I rarely post reviews, preferring to lurker and poach off the work of others. Triangle Radiator has forced me out of my shell. I took my 2001 Acura MDX here on the recommendation of Ken, one of the two patron saints of Ashland Tire, the BEST place for car service bar none. I called Paul at Triangle after Ken told me the needed repair, replacement of an evaporator which I understand is a key component in the A/C operation, was outside of the scope of work they perform at Ashland Tire. I spoke to Paul @ Triangle several times over the phone; he carefully explained what was involved and gave me the option of purchasing the factory evaporator or an aftermarket version that sells for 30% of theprice of the Acura version (I gladly took advantage of the cost savings). He gave me an estimate of the cost over the phone and a clear picture of the time that would be involved in making the repair (a big job that requires removing the dashboard and related components to get to the evaporator). Once my car was at the shop, Paul kept me informed and even walked me through an inventory of other things that were amiss with the car - not to sell me other services, but to be sure there was no misunderstanding about things that were broken before they started the "surgery" on the dashboard. Paul's team got the work done in the time promised and the actual cost was spot on from the estimate he provided over the phone. I hope I don't need their services again - this is not a cheap repair - but they did a terrific job and would certainly get my repeat business. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for 6 years and am so mad at myself for not going here sooner. It is so difficult to find a mechanic that you 1)trust 2)is reasonable and 3)has good customer service. Triangle has all 3. I went in for an oil change and they promptly completed my service. I spoke with 3 people in the office and all 3 were friendly, helpful and informative (both on the phone when I called prior to my appointment and in person). The oil change was less than $30, which was a great price for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. While I was there, I over heard one of the men going over what they found needed to be fixed on another women's car. He broke it down to what was wrong, how to fix, how much it would be and then he did something that I've never heard another auto shop do...he also broke it down to what you need to fix now, and what can wait a little while longer if you can't afford it right now. I don't know a lot about cars, but it did not sound like he was trying to oversell her services. He was just telling her the deal with her and then allowing her to make a decision. I will definitely be going there from now on for my oil changes and should I ever need a mechanic (god, I hope not!), I will go to them. Their hours are only 9a-5p which can be challenging if you work during the day, but they allow drop offs after hours as well. read more
