South Elgin Auto Repair

I'm to buy a second vehicle soon. I got a general pre-purchase inspection done at this shop, mainly because it's right up the street from the car dealership I may end up buying from. The inspection cost was nearly double that of a few other shops that I'm familiar with outside of the area so that was a little disappointing, but the staff/technicians were knowledgeable, very friendly, professional, and they provided great customer service. Aside from their steep prices, I'd give them a thumbs up.

if I could leave 10 stars for Honest 1 service center I would. My F150 with almost 170,000 miles started giving me problems on a Friday, days before I needed it for a trip with a ski boat in tow. I had a carrier bearing on my driveshaft fail, rear seal on my rear end leaking, along with brakes needing work. I was told it would likely be Tuesday before the job would be completed, but the staff at Honest 1 went out of their way, and had it done on Saturday! What the guys do not know is that I have had an issue from day of owning this vehicle of a shutter at taking off from a dead stop. Ford could never solve this problem, and after 170,000 miles I finally have a truck that I no longer have this issue going on! Brand new complete rear drive shaft solved this issue. This was an issue from day one of delivery, and I’m so happy to have a truck that drives better than new now! I also have a piece of mind knowing that I have a 36 month 36,000 mile nationwide warranty no matter where I go I’m covered on repairs done to my truck! Thank you, thank you!

I am a first time customer via a recommendation. They did good work on my car and at a very good price. Friendly and courteous staff and I will certainly be going back to them for any work needed on my vehicle.

Josh did a fantastic job working through the obstacles thrown at him by CarMax and finished the job on time as promised. Very pleased with the results and will be back!

Friendly and professional service.

They were honest and were able to fit me in on holiday weekend. The pricing was great. They even gave me really good advice about the car and tires. I am going to them in the future with all my cars. Thank you so much.

They handled everything well..and appreciate the help.

Talk about honest! Our a/c gave us trouble and of course it worked for them!! Excellent and professional experience at all levels especially Ramon. I wouldn't take our cars anywhere else. They take the Honest part seriously. Top notch!
