    Hands down, the best shop around. I have had so many issues with my car lately and I've been to a…read morefew shops in the area. I am lucky to have finally found the guys at Mundelein. They took my car in with late notice Tuesday morning, had it fixed and back on the road by Tuesday afternoon so I could get to my new job on Wednesday morning. Wednesday when I was driving home from work, I started hearing an awful hissing sound behind the dash. The shop had already closed by the time I would have been making my call so I didn't know exactly what to do. I decided to meet them at the shop when it opened this morning because the guys were so good about getting the previous repair done. I was dreading the thought of having to pay for a second repair in such a short time period (but trust me, that is my luck), and I had resigned myself to that being my reality. I just talked with Jamie at the shop and he said they will be covering the expense for the second repair because they are convinced they should have seen the damage yesterday. I was absolutely elated! Thank goodness for the guys at Mundelein Automotive!

    An oil-filter gasket blew out on my car, and I had Mundelein Automotive evaluate it since it…read moreoccurred just down the block from them. I have come to learn an event like that (rather clearly) points to a faulty oil-pressure regulator/relief valve or related oil pump issue--not just a loose or improperly installed filter as they advised me. And they advised me as such despite the fact the filter was installed nearly 6 months ago and had been just fine with no leaks. They simply blamed it on my usual mechanic for somehow "crushing" the gasket during installation at my last oil change, even though it would be nearly impossible for a filter to contain oil pressure for that long (if at all) if the gasket was somehow pushed outside of its groove during install. Every other mechanic I've discussed this with as I shopped around for engine replacement quotes has said as much, that this was obviously the result of an oil pressure spike caused by a faulty oil pump / pressure release valve, and warranted a far more thorough inspection beyond degreasing the engine bay and replacing the filter. Mundelein Automotive did not perform (or explain) a hot mechanical oil-pressure test, did not caution me against driving until pressure was verified, and did not advise checks for timing correlation/chain tensioner health that depend on proper oil pressure. The timing chain tensioner, along with other critical engine components, are hydraulically operated. And if they don't get proper oil pressure, the engine can (and did) self-destruct. I was told it was fine to continue driving. Result: The car drove okay until suddenly after ~150-200 miles when the engine rapidly went from a light tick to harsh clunking while on the expressway, and then failed. I'm now facing an engine replacement. Why this matters: A reasonable diagnostic path here would have included (1) verifying actual oil pressure with a mechanical gauge, (2) confirming correct oil-filter spec and ruling out a stuck pressure-relief valve, and (3) listening/scanning for early timing-chain correlation faults. At a minimum, I should have been clearly warned not to drive until oil pressure was verified. None of that happened for me. Bottom line: Friendly people, but in my case the critical diagnostics and communication fell short, and I paid the price. I won't be back, and I can't recommend them at all. Their substandard expertise and attention to detail has resulted in me being out the cost of installing an entirely new engine.
