Ran over a piece of truck rubber and had lots of noises. Tony looked it over and quoted me about one hour which was very fair. He did a great job and did not need to part it out which would have at least doubled the cost. read more

Auto Tech Service - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-4MwPNgrDM - Auto Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tony is by far one of the most reliable and honest mechanics my family and I have ever done business with. For over 20 years, he's serviced 5 vehicles of ours. We've recommended him to our friends and they've all came back with 5 star reviews. If you have any issues with your vehicle, Tony is the man! read more

Tony is a very reliable honest mechanic. As a single female, I trust him and I would not go anywhere else. His work is good and I have never had an issue with him. read more

Tony is quite literally the best, across the board. I wouldn't go to anyone else. He's a great guy and he does amazing work at an unbeatable price. read more

Having just moved to Chicago this past Summer, I had no idea where to take my vehicle when it started to stall out. I asked friends, but couldn't get a clear, convenient answer. So, I decided to turn to Yelp. Since I live in Irving Park and had a car that was stalling out I didn't want to travel too far. Auto Tech seemed like the perfect location for me. Since I work all day, I needed to drop it off after-hours, so I called and chatted with Tony who informed me of the drop-off process, The next day Tony called me with his diagnosis and I was pleasantly surprised with his honesty. Telling me exactly what I needed and didn't need at a very fair price. I picked up the car tonight and all is well. Needless to say I made the right choice and will continue to as long as I own a vehicle. Thanks Tony. Next time we'll actually meet each other. read more

I first sought out service at AutoTech to repair my car after a failed emissions test about 2 years ago. AutoTech came highly rated by the Air Team booklet provided by the Illinois EPA. http://www.epa.state.il.us/air/vim/ Tony, the owner at AutoTech, was extremely helpful in resolving what turned out to be a bad plug that the state inspector failed to recognize during his somnambulant approach to my emissions check. Tony quickly resolved the problem, informed the state that my car was in compliance, and recommended some preventative maintenance for me to contemplate. He was no-nonsense about the preventative work, and did not employ scare tactics or strong sells that I've seen elsewhere. In turn, I have returned to get work done on my two cars several times in the past couple years. Just this week, Tony replaced all four tires on my car, including balancing and realignment, done to my complete satisfaction. He also did an oil change, which I appreciated. Many full-service mechanics refuse oil changes due to the low margins. I appreciated the "one-stop" shop. I would recommend Tony's AutoTech to anyone looking for an honest, friendly, no-nonsense mechanic. Thanks Tony--you are the best! read more

AWESOME SERVICE! I literally just picked up my car from this place. I brought it in yesterday on an expired plate sticker with next to zero time left on the extension i got out of the DMV. The car had failed the emissions test the first time with a dead sensor, bad air filter and messed up exhaust. Not only are the prices awesome... but the service was fast, thorough, AND he even took my car to get emissions tested a second time. had the pass report sitting under my work order when i came to pick it up. I am NEVER going anywhere else. and you shouldn't either. :) read more

My experience with Auto Tech Service was great. I don't know much about cars, so I had originally taken mine in to the dealer when the Service Engine light came on. They wanted to charge me $150 an hour just for labor and fixing my car there would have totaled about $1700. I found Tony and Auto Tech Service on the Better Business Bureau website, and being the techie I am, was happy to see that they had a pretty nice website (complete with a picture of Tony). Not only is Auto Tech registered with the BBB, but they've got ASE certified mechanics and are approved by the AAA. At the time of this writing, they were charging $70/hour for labor (so already, half of what the dealer wanted). Tony estimated 6 hours of work, and completed the repairs in 5 and a half (the dealer estimated 7 hours). My bill came in at $740 (including tax, which wasn't on the dealer estimate of $1700), so that was a 57% savings for me. I'd agreed to have the oil changed since it had been about 4 months for that, but Tony was nice enough to let me know that the oil was still fresh on the car (guess I haven't been driving as much as I thought), and saved me another $18 right there. read more

Tony is the BEST, people! He's the only mechanic that hasn't talked down to me about my car because I'm "a girl". He has saved me a ton of money in unnecessary repairs. He's honest, which is a rare quality in auto mechanics. The first time I brought my car in, he pointed out repairs that my previous mechanic did wrong, did unnecessarily, and didn't do at all! I was just in there this past weekend, and I'd given him an estimate that Midas gave me when I got an oil change. The estimate totaled over $500. Tony could have said "yep, you need this stuff done", but he didn't. He did only one of the 4 recommended repairs and found one other problem and fixed it. My bill was $150. I will continue to bring my vehicle to Auto Tech and recommend them to all of my friends. Go. To. Auto. Tech. Seriously. read more

I know a little bit about cars.....certainly enough to do some simple repairs. But, I have long left the comforts of my own garage and driveway and settled in the city. When I went looking for a place to take my car that wouldn't start - I first looked at the BB website to see who NOT to go to. After seeing Autotech's clean slate - I had my car towed there after talking to Tony. Since that day, I have been back for everything from oil changes to the more serious issues. The last time I was there, was because the bottom of my car hit a major ice drop-off pot-hole in an alley. After the thud, my car just didn't sound right at all. I feared that I jacked up the exhaust system and after taking it in.....I was relieved that Tony told me that I just needed to re-tighten a bolt. Tony's a great communicator, who is good at getting you in and out in a timely fashion. He doesn't over-promise, and he DOES deliver on the promises he makes. I highly recommend Autotech to anyone who is looking for their "guy" to fix cars. read more

Have been a customer at Autotech for at least 6 years now. I have owned a few cars which Tony has taken care of. Tony always gives solid and honest advice, what is best for the long term care of the car along with what will be most affordable. You can trust Tony with your car, and the money you spend here. He will make sure your car is safe to drive and ensure you are not spending extra money you don't have to. I had one used car that was in good shape, but had been flooded, ruining the computer of the car. Tony did the best he could to keep me going in that car, but the flood had really done too much damage. Before spending too much money on a car that was not worth saving, Tony talked me into buying a new car (which meant he would make less off me, no longer owning a used car that would have periodic problems), telling me it would be best for my money and peace of mind to have a new car with no problems. that "new" car is now 6 years old and in great hands, since Tony knows the car's history and can work with me to prevent problems as well as maintain it so that I can use the car safely for at least the next 4 years. You will not regret taking your car to Tony. read more

I wanted to get a tune up, so I bought all the necessary parts and after seeing all the good reviews for this place, I decided to try it out. I am absolutely satisfied with the service. Tony is great! He is nice, polite, and honest. He is also fair with prices. My car is now running smoothly. I will definitely come back for any of my car needs. read more

Tony is the man. I'm thankful for his honesty, friendliness, and experience. He helped me find an alternative option to something that would have cost much more, and I don't think any other repair shop would have done the same. Thank you!!! read more

There is simply no other place to take your car for repairs. I was introduced to Tony and Auto-Tech when I had an issue with my car years ago. Literally everyone at the business I worked for took their cars there, including my manager who is usually so protective of his cars that he won't even let anyone else even clean the snow off of them! Tony is fair, honest, and does only what needs to be done. He will tell you up front what you should expect to pay, and what you might need done in the future, but not now. He doesn't shrug off any work, big or small, and always greets me with a smile. If you live anywhere on the North Side of Chicago, don't even consider going anywhere else. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tony to anyone, especially those in the neighborhood. He is honest, punctual and communicates well, unlike a lot of mechanics I've used in the past. He has done work on my Equinox and a Hyundai Elantra and we will be taking our new rogue to him for maintenance as well read more

You gotta a guy? Then you need Tony. We've been going here forever, seriously. In fact, everyone we've ever referred is still coming here. Tony is fair, honest and he does great work. No scams, no tricks. We've had a few used cars over the years and I love it because Tony us honest and he tells us when it's time to sell and find something else. Now with our new cars, I would not trust the dealer for any service, even the routine ones. Not to mention, Acura dealers are outrageous. I mean let's face it, if you have to wonder if you're getting a fair deal, then you're not. That's why you need to go to place you can trust. read more

I found Tony (Auto Tech) recommended on Angie's list. And so far his work has been great and prices fair. I had a problem with the car running rough that even the dealer had me in 3 times and couldn't fix. They misdiagnosed it but Tony fixed it with just a tune-up. He charges what he quotes and in the end sometimes it turns out to be less. read more

Tony is the best! A few weeks ago our car just died while my husband was about to turn into the intersection of California & Addison, a pretty busy spot. He was able to get it started again after a minute or two, so I told him to drive toward Tony's shop and I'd give him a call. We've brought the car there a few times over the years and he always does a great job and the charges are fair and very reasonable. Tony was very busy that day, but when I asked if there was any possible way he could look at it before the day was over (it was about noon I think) it would be a huge help because my husband was supposed to drive me to the airport the next morning. Tony was able to squeeze us in and had everything fixed by 5:30 that day! I already wasn't thrilled with the idea of flying in the time of Corona so I really didn't want to take public transportation or a Lyft to get to the airport. I truly appreciated Tony fixing our car so quickly that I didn't have to do that! Thanks, Tony! read more

I live a couple of blocks away and stumbled across Auto Tech when I needed new brakes before taking off on an journey. The price was right, quoted right on, and completed on time. I have been going there ever since. People who I have reccomended this place to would echo my sentiments. Do not hesitate to go to Auto Tech read more

I'd give Auto Tech, and Tony, ten stars if I could. Over the years I have found a trusted mechanic, advisor and friend that cares not only about the many cars I have brought in for service but my personal safety as well. He is reliable, responsive and EXTREMELY fair when price comparing (which I have done for cars with all sorts of issues from our old trusty Civic to our much bigger Santa Fe). To top it off, service is always fast and comprehensive. I feel well taken care of and safer when I drive away from picking up the car after being serviced. In tight situations I've called him for advice or help, including being stuck on the side of the highway in Friday afternoon traffic, shaking because the brakes had gone out on an old Cadillac I was driving. Tony stopped what he was doing to call his tow truck contact to come get me. I have AAA in my back pocket, but this service was bar none. I've recommended him to every taxi I'm in when we pass his place on Irving Park, and have had numerous friends come back from a first meeting saying, 'you weren't kidding, he's a great guy and it was HALF the price they quoted me elsewhere.' Go to Auto Tech if you want great, quick service and competitive pricing. Go to avoid uncertainty. Go to feel safe in your car and on the road. More than anything, go to have that handy mechanic when you need him, welcoming you with a genuine smile, expert knowledge and peace of mind. read more

Having an older BMW , my husband and I have been "fleeced' in the past. Tony and AutoTechService has restored my faith in good , decent and honest businesses. We know that older German cars require more and in our case frequent visits . Tony not only fixes what is wrong but pragmatically tells us what to expect with such a "vintage" vehicle. GOOD,DECENT and HONEST. Great mechanic and and even better human. read more

I have been coming to Auto Tech for years and can't say enough good things about Tony's integrity, fairness, and honest consideration for the customer. He only recommends what is necessary and I can't imagine he's making a fortune on the very modest labor rates he charges. It doesn't look like he's making out with anything on the parts either so I can only guess he loves his work and pleasing the customer more than money -a rarity for any profession, but most notably for a mechanic. For example, one time I had an issue with a noisy muffler and thought I'd need a section replaced. Tony pointed out it was a loose heat shield and that it was not really necessary for the functionality of the vehicle. What did he do? He spent about 20 minutes removing the excess metal and, just for giggles, adjusted the engine to increase pickup. Then he took me on a test drive to demonstrate the noise free improvements. And what did it cost? Absolutely nothing. Tony let me go with a handshake and got in return something much more valuable - my absolute trust and permanent business. I have since moved to the far Northwest suburbs (about 30 miles away) yet I'm going to continue making special trips to Chicago for the caliber of service alone. He's really that good. Take your car to Auto Tech and you'll truly know the peace of mind of having the trust in your mechanic fully rewarded. read more

I can't say enough praise for Tony, he's really the honest old fashioned mechanic of our parents time. I went to him to check out my A/C problem, and while no A/C work is cheap by any means, he definitely came out to be much cheaper if I were to go anywhere else in the area. After being told on the phone that there's a $80 diagnostics fee (standard industry fee), I brought the car in having a pretty good idea what the problem was already. Since I did my research and knew the general problem with the A/C, I went ahead and purchased the parts on my own. Tony replaced all the parts, cleaned/flushed the entire A/C system, and recharged it also looking for leaks. All this was done in a matter of 2 days, without any hiccups at all. Not once did I feel I was being pushed around or being forced into fixing something that wasn't needed. read more

Tony is the man. It takes a while when you move to a new city to find all the professionals and businesses you can trust (mechanic, dentist, doctor, dry cleaner!) and I've found the mechanic I can trust to do a good job and not overcharge. I found his place by accident and will now drive 5 neighborhoods away to go there. read more

This place is also located on Broadway and Foster. I would usually take my car here for minor services like an oil change ect, HOWEVER my car was stalling and I was recommended to get a new power steering fluid pump. I agreed with the manager, as I trusted them, paid $450.00 for the repair and services. My car was great for the first couple of weeks, then went back to the stalling. I returned to Auto Tech and told them that the problem wasn't fixed. They told me that they didn't have me in their computer system and that they couldn't do anything with my car without me paying the FULL $450 again. HA! I don't have fool written on my forehead. I kept calling back and told them about the manger that helped me, but it just so happen that that PARTICULAR manger was on temporary leave and couldn't be contacted. I will NEVER EVER in my life go back to this place again. If you need major repairs make sure you go some place that you know you can trust. These people are scammers and do not trust them. read more

THIS IS THE PLACE TO TAKE YOUR CAR!! I brought my 2000 Honda Civic to Auto Tech 5-6 months ago after it was making an awful noise. A friend of mine had referred me to Tony. I can't remember exactly what ended up being wrong with my car, but what I do remember was how assured I felt with Tony's assessment and quality of work. I brought my car to a different auto repair facility a few months prior to when Tony looked at my car, and while they did some work on it which ended up being quite pricey, they didn't fix the problem that ended up causing me to see Tony which obviously had been there for some time! I have since brought my car back to Tony a couple of times.This morning I went in because I had hit a pole in a parking garage causing me not to be able to open my passenger side door all the way. Also, one my back light was out. Tony took a look at the door and asked, "You just want to be able to open the door, right?" I nodded a big, "Yes!" (You see, Tony understands where I am coming from financially. He gets that I don't want to drop $500 on body-work to fix my door.) When Tony assesses my car, he tells me what is absolutely necessary to be done and what can wait. So given my response, he took one of his tools, popped out the dent and rubbed out the green paint from the pole. Done! Next, he put a new light bulb in my back light. Finally, he reminded me we should check the oil and seeing that it was low, he put in a quart of oil. 15 minutes and $20 later, everything was taken care of and I was relieved! (Originally, when Tony finished up, he said, "Merry Christmas" and made a gesture as if to say, "It's on the house... you don't owe me anything!") So, if you are looking for a down-to-earth, knowledgeable, trustworthy mechanic, Auto Tech is your place!! read more
