Elar Auto Review…read more I'm baffled at how this place manages to keep any customers given their lack of professionalism and communication. I got into a car accident in December of 2022. A hit and run involving a semi that nearly got me killed. My car obviously needed to be towed. I called several places describing the state of my vehicle. Elar was one of the local places that could take my car in and get it looked at. Upon arrival and after speaking to Barry, the manager, they said with the utmost confidence it could be fixed and wouldn't need to be totaled. Because of the upcoming holiday they would need to have it fixed after the new year, which I'm fine with. It was in really bad shape, of course I had no choice. Come the new year and I'm told they have to order the parts. Soon enough February comes and they're telling me they still are waiting on parts. Then it's March and it's the same. April, May, June, July come and I'm told the same thing. All while I'm still paying the loan on my car AND paying for a rental. My complimentary rental through my insurance capped out in February so I'm paying upwards of $1200 a month just to get from point A to point B on a regular basis. It wasn't until SEPTEMBER that State Farm got involved and asked me why the car hasn't been fixed yet, and I said "hey your guess is as good as mine." I kept going to Elar to see if there's an update and Barry just kept shrugging me off and coming up with a nonsense lie every time. That's when State Farm decided to move my car from that body shop to a different one. Within a day that other body shop immediately quoted State Farm and they decided it was totaled. I waited from December of 2022 to September of 2023 for them to tell me my car was totaled. Months of wondering the outcome and scrambling to find a solution. Spending thousands of dollars. In the end Barry didn't even offer an apology for his negligence and lack of professionalism. I strongly encourage people to avoid this place at all possible cost. Their lack of empathy and consideration will cost you more than just financially.

The Yelp reviews were good and this was a place near to my residence so I stopped in. I was greeted by Kevin who was very friendly and knowledgeable. He looked up the spoiler and told me it would be an easy install because it uses adhesive to bond the spoiler to the trunk. The price he quoted me to install was very reasonable. I appreciated his time explaining the process to me of what needed to be done should I decide to do the service. I would definitely bring my car here if I need body shop work. They are open M-F 9 to 5. Thanks Winston Auto Rebuilders! A+

My father has been coming to Monroy's for years and has worked with the owner/mechanic Jose getting…read morenew brakes, transmission repairs and oil changes. Monroy's is your local shop, located in a blue collar Chicago neighborhood. You won't find fast talking salesy mechanics who are trying to sell you services you don't need. To have my front and rear brake pads replaced, Jose quoted $130 total for labor ($65 for the front and $65 for the rear). Jose said the new rotors that I purchased and had installed with the first mechanic were fine and recommended I keep those on the car. I arrived to the shop 30 minutes before 9am on a weekday to ensure I was the first car serviced. The work took about an hour and a half as Jose and his team got to work right away. For parts, I purchased the pads at the next door A1 Truck and Auto Supply which has been in business for over 60 years. It was nice to be able to pay for the parts myself and not be charged an additional margin which is common from dealers and local mechanic shops. If you're able to trek to Monroy's and are okay with a shop that isn't flashy or has a formal waiting area, visit Monroy's and ask for the owner Jose.

Spoke with Elam Muhammad who told me the price would be $250-$350 for the make & model of my vehicle. He told me "you do realize that holes would have to be put on the trunk of the car". I did not know that so that made me want to take time to think about if I wanted to get the work done. I thanked him and Will who also was there providing information. After doing some research checking the spoiler part that would need to be installed and also getting a second opinion at another body shop, I was shocked to find out that this part is installed using adhesive, no drilling needs to be done to install this part. I was really upset to find out that this place didn't even take the time to look up the part to find out how the install would be - just off the fly telling me that holes need to be drilled. So glad I didn't use them although they are nice and I also think black owned. I won't be back. Don't trust them.

Originally went to this body shop because of the convenient location to where I lived. The first…read moretime I had my car repaired there.\nUpon pick up , I noticed that the repaired section was not painted properly and was very rough to the touch and had no reflection. When I brought this to the attention of the shop and the owner, I was told that nothing was wrong. However, you could clearly see that the unrepaired portion of my car gave a mirror like reflection and the repaired part gave off no reflection at all, just a blurry image because it had not been properly buffed or sanded. After going back-and-forth repeatedly, one of the body repair guys came out and admitted that it had not been sanded properly before being released, so they eventually took it back in after much discourse. Flash forward about 4 years.I had another situation with the car and reluctantly went back to the same shop.Assuming that things would be okay and I wouldn't have any issues. Boy was I wrong when I brought the car in.I told the claim guy that there was damage underneath the vehicle that happened during the accident , but I had to have it temporarily repaired or else the car would not be drivable. There was a plastic fairing that covers the bottom of the car which had been ripped down and broken as a cause of the accident, which enabled the car undrivable, so I had it temporarily screwed up so that it would not drag the ground. after telling the C&O guy MULTIPLE times to make sure that that is part of the claim he neglected to do so. when I finally got the car back, the Fender was repaired. But nothing underneath the car had been repaired. And the same broken piece was still temporarily screwed in when I brought this to his attention, he denied that I ever told him about the broken part yet, I told him multiple times he then refused to have it fixed and demanded that I call State Farm to make another claim. But everything could have been fixed. Had he just Assessed it while we were there the first time. The bottom line is, i should not have to have an ongoing argument about things that you did not do or you neglected to do in the first place. I would not recommend this body shop to anyone EVER. find another place that works with the customer and isn't argumentative or lacks accountability.

Review for Yassery Auto Repair - 9131 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60620…read more I feel completely violated and disappointed by the service I received at Yassery Auto Repair. I brought my car in on Saturday to diagnose an unusual sound while driving. After the assessment, I was told I needed an engine mount and transmission mount, and that the repairs would be completed the same day. That turned out to be completely untrue. I called later that Saturday and was told to check back Sunday. I called and even waited around for hours on Sunday -- no one ever showed up. Finally, on today I was told the car would be ready by 6 PM. When I arrived, my car wouldn't even start. After checking, I discovered my battery had been stolen and replaced with a cheaper one. I went to Auto Zone, the place I originally purchased the battery, and confirmed it was not the same. On top of that, my horn no longer works, and I noticed my rear tires had been switched. I just replaced both back tires on 2/8/25, and when I got home and compared my receipts and photos, they were clearly not the same. The cologne I just purchased last week was also missing from the vehicle glove compartment. And worst of all -- the original problem I brought the car in for, the sound while driving, is still there. So not only did they fail to fix the issue, but they caused additional damage and losses. This experience was beyond unprofessional and felt like theft. I do not recommend Yassery Auto Repair to anyone. I'm seriously considering reporting this shop to the Better Business Bureau and other consumer protection agencies.
