I can't say enough great things about this mechanic! They are some of the nicest, honest mechanics I have ever met. Being a single woman it is intimidating to bring your car in to be fixed but front the moment i stepped in the door I was welcomed with a friendly smile and was given an honest assessment of my car. Since my first time there I have have brought several used cars in to be looked at before I purchased one. Their prices are reasonable and knowledge of every aspect of each make a model of every car is truly amazing! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. Chuck, you now have a customer for life. read more

Very, very honest mechanics here. I spoke with Chuck and he basically prevented me from buying a giant hunk of crap car and (more importantly in my opinion) explained WHY it was not worth buying. He even gave me an estimate of how much he thought the car was worth and told me that it was definitely not worth what the local dealership (that rhymes with Noto Zone) said it was. Even offered to get another car checked out for free. Amazing service. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

They were able to take me in last minute while I was at work, since my car was making noises. They gave me a ride back to work, while they took care of my car. They treated me fairly and when I asked questions, answered them so I could understand what was going on. read more

They were fast, friendly and fair. Will be back. Got recommended by a friend and had quite a bit of work done. Car went from feeling on its last legs to back in business. Really appreciated the service. read more

Girls and mechanic shops! As a female, I am use to getting swindled by mechanic shops and taken to the cleaners on price. A coworker suggested I take my car here and I was skeptical. I called to make an appointment and they could see me after 5pm, which is a plus, as I work until 4:30pm. They were busy, but was able to diagnose the problem and let me know how much it would cost and when they could do it. The front desk was friendly and attentive. The mechanic kept my car clean and explained to me the issue, ( in terms I could understand.) When I got my car back, they had done a thorough inspect and advised of future preventative maintenance. I am glad I found uptown, and they don't try to take advantage of a woman. read more

Been here once so far to fix part of my exhaust pipe that had come apart after I had an incident where I spun out and went over the curb of a divider on an expressway off ramp. The owner, Chuck, is a really awesome guy, and that reflects well in the way he runs his business and his mechanics. He won't charge anything up front until he and his boys have taken a good look at the work that needs to be done and will show you exactly where the problems are on your car. Thanks to that, he also noticed that the trailing arm of my rear passenger wheel suspension had gotten messed up as well, and took me into the shop to let me look at it myself and showed me the rest of the work they were gonna do. He also offers really good prices for the work. The weld needed for my exhaust was only $60, and he also replaced my passenger side rear tire for a straight $100 including installation. Replacing the trailer arm was a bit more expensive, a little over $100 each for the part and labor, but it was a reasonable price to replace a vital part. They also took quite a bit of time to get everything done, but it was understandable, considering that they had to bring the part and replacement tire in from different stores. Overall, I was very happy with the experience I had with Chuck and his guys. They're honest, reliable car mechanics, and Chuck genuinely made me feel like my satisfaction with his job was his top priority. You don't see that very often today, in any kind of business. I'm definitely going to bring my car in to Chuck's place more often. read more

Uptown Garage - A restored fridge they got in their waiting room. Gives the place a cool retro feel. - Auto Repair Near Me - Melrose Park, Illinois

They fixed my car right up!! They were so flexible and so kind. My car is much smoother and a lot safer to drive. Will come back :-)

We've lived in Maywood for a long time and always heard from friends what a reliable, honest and reasonably cost place this was. Well, we finally gave up on our dealer after many years and not so honest service and brought it to Uptown. It's a family run place with names like Rosie, Chuck, Randy and Bryan whom with felt comfortable with right away. Highly recommend this place as well as their other company that does repair work on 1st Avenue near North Avenue called 1st Auto Body. We've taken our older car their in the past and our newer model there, too. read more

Uptown is the best. It has the small time feel of a close knit family, but of course, BIG service - that is consistent. Chuck and his team keep working on your car when there's a perplexing problem - even when it's not too apparent, but YOU know it's there, (we've all heard those phantom sounds). Chuck has even offered his truck in exchange for our broken van so my husband could get to work... That's caring. They're the best! Thanks Chuck and ALL. Plus, I think it's great that the family really does work there. A family that works together, prayers together - stays together! read more

Due to Covid oil change places are booked out weeks in advance. Couldn't get car in anywhere and needed an oil change ASAP for a last minute trip to Indianapolis. Called Uptown Garage at the recommendation of my brother and they saw me same day and was in and out within 30 minutes of arrival. Best in service for sure. Will continue to get my car serviced here. read more

THE ABSOLUTE BEST! I can't say enough good things about Chuck the owner. A good, solid, highly knowledgeable mechanic. I would highly recommend taking you car or truck here. read more

Simply put, Uptown is the best. We have taken all of our vehicles there for years. No matter the make, the year or the problem, the guys at Uptown have always been far superior to any other auto shop we have experienced. Chuck, the owner, is transparent, patient, his communication is great and his prices are always reasonable. There is no other auto shop I would consider. Do yourself a favor: GO TO UPTOWN! read more

My car broke down a couple blocks from this place and they were totally booked. They were nice enough to fit me in that same day to get me on the road again. They were very nice, the prices were very fair, and the work the did was perfect. I would recommend this place to any of my friends. I was blown away by how they went out of their way so I could get back home that day. They really saved me and I want to thank them! read more

Best place in western suburbs for auto repair. Been around forever. Quality work. Honest owner. Won't consider any others for auto work.

I went to this shop off of a recommendation from kwik stop and they did an excellent job. I had a problem with my compressor that took them 30 minutes to fix and the mechanic told me that he wasn't going to charge me because it was an easy fix. I love it!!! read more

Chuck and his crew have done excellent work for me, my friends and family for many years. They work quickly, keep costs low to the consumer and are extremely accommodating in every instance. I would trust them to do any type of work on my cars and have recommended them often to my colleagues at work. I've never heard of a single complaint about Uptown Garage. They really ARE the best!" read more

I have been taking my car to Uptown Garage for several years now and I would NOT take it to any other place. Whether it is for routine maintenance or an emergency situation, Chuck and his team come through for me. They are very knowledgeable, professional and truly care for their customers. Customer Service is top notch! A very honest run business. Thank you Uptown Garage. I am a customer for life! read more

Uptown is Amazing! Their customer service is exceptional. I go to them for all of my vehicle needs. Even better they are less than a 1/2 block from my home when I need to drop my vehicle off. Thanks Chuck and the guys! read more

Excellent work done in a timely manner. Uptown came highly recommended and I am glad I listened. Customer service is the best. Alan, Brian, and Chuck are the best. read more

This garage is every scary story you've heard about concerning auto repair shops. I was trying to help my nephews wife fix her car and put in a new thermostat unfortunately I put in the gasket wrong and it had a small leak which they took full advantage of. When she picked up the car they charged her $155.00 for a ten minute job. I should have stayed home and did the repair a second time myself. but I needed to get to my appointment. She asked why it was so much money and they made up a story about how much work it was. To do this job you simply take off one water hose and then 3 small bolts and thats it. When she asked for the old parts back she was told they had cracked in half and they had to throw them out. WHY was it necessary to throw them out? Then they said the part was put in backwards. Nope can't happen. The part won't fit into the hose so it could not be backwards. Again another lie. I thought in Illinois they were suppose to ask if we wanted the old parts and then produce them if wanted. This place will take your money fix your car then charge you too much for doing so. Beware they will lie if necessary so watch very carefully what is said and if by chance you go there for a repair that you already started DON'T. Figure it out yourself or go to any other shop because they will swindle you. read more

This is by far the best garage that I have ever been to. My husband, 2 boys and myself were in Chicago from Ontario, Canada for the week of August 31st on vacation. The one day we took our car out, was to pick up tickets for that night's Bears game. While on the highway the temperature gauge started to stick on hot and the air started blasting out hot air. It was already 100 degrees that day so no air was my concern but the increase in temperature in the engine was the real problem. Our GPS gave us the option of Uptown or another spot. We liked the sound of Uptown so hoped our vehicle would make it there! The owner was so hospitable, he even gave my boys a cold drink. It was 3:30 in the afternoon but they told us to come right in and they would have a look. They were able to fix the problem, quickly and at a very good price. They even had to get a part brought in and still had us on our way by 5:00. I don't think I would have gotten it fixed at home for this price. While there waiting my husband was worried because he needed to get the tickets for the Bears game, the owner let him borrow his car, no questions asked. We were complete strangers not even from the area but he didn't even hesitate! This crew is the best I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with and I would highly recommend Uptown Garage to anyone looking to have their car serviced. read more
