Update Following up you are the last shop that changed my oil so no I did not take it to jiffy lube as you suspect, your technicians failed to notify me that they put a cheap repair drain plug in my car and over torqued it like crazy so it was a very difficult process when I had to bring it in to my mechanic and get it replaced, I Literally had no clue you guys did that until I brought it in for another oil change then I had to buy a whole new oil pan. you guys completely stripped my old oil pan threads and took out the oem drain plug, Never told me anything. Yes I could have called but why would I want your technicians to fix it if they messed it up before?

They replaced my battery and the cost wasn't terribly outrageous. They also recommended a company for towing since my car wouldn't start which turned out to be a fantastic recommendation. Whilst the service was quick, I wish they hadn't acted as though my concerns were ridiculous. I also was surprised that they expected me to come that same day to pick it back up. They called at 2-something to let me know it was ready and they close at 5, and when I asked if I should pick up it up the following morning he said he had cars coming and would rather I come that day. When I asked if the following day before 9 would work they said ok, but I was able to finagle it to come the same day after all. Just thought it was weird that they assumed someone would be able to pick up the same day.

I originally didn't plan on changing the diff fluid, but Rei recommended doing it while the car was already there and explained why it was a good idea. I'm glad I went ahead with it. They also took the time to inspect my front struts while the car was there and let me know they're starting to go and should be replaced soon. I appreciated them pointing that out and explaining it instead of just ignoring it. Their pricing was fair too, especially after getting quotes from a couple other places. The whole process was smooth and the car honestly feels better driving now. Definitely a shop I'd come back to and would recommend if you need work done on your car.

Think that a woman is stupid but it is not the building reputation but the people (like Marco ) that bring the clients and the service was based on their reputation NOT the North Shore Meineke owners.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at this shop. I brought my car in expecting quality…read morework and honest service, but instead my vehicle came back with even more issues than before. Communication was poor, concerns were brushed off, and I felt completely taken advantage of throughout the process. What makes this even more frustrating is the inconsistency. My boyfriend was allowed to bring in his own rear light part and they installed it with no issue, even though they didn't make money off the part itself. But when I asked about getting my brakes done and already had the parts, I was told no because they "usually make money off materials instead of labor." That explanation honestly made no sense and felt very inconsistent. Overall, the experience was frustrating and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable or honest service.

I was semi discouraged from the initial repair shop I visited that really tried to pull one over on me with the initial estimate process. Defeated but also relentless, I took a deep breath and had faith I'd find a good and reputable shop within the area associated with my insurance. My first encounter with Ian was nothing short of professional and helpful. He got me in within the hour, got the estimate done within a half hour and scheduled repairs a week out. Simple. They didn't keep too much in contact during the repairs process but were helpful whenever I checked in. I also beat them to the punch a lot with follow ups. Expectations were clear and the repairs done were nothing short of phenomenal. I really like their layout inside as well with pamphlets explaining the process and your right to choose your own repair shop. Something I had issues with in the beginning. Can't rave enough about these guys. Honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional 100%!

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn't your typical auto shop. They take the time to explain everything clearly, tell you what actually needs to be done (and what doesn't), and treat you like a person--not just another ticket. What really sets them apart is their honesty and consistency. You never feel upsold, pressured, or in the dark. Just straightforward, high-quality work at fair prices--every single time. And somehow, they always find a way to come through when you need them most, even when they're busy. They've been a trusted name in the Evanston area for decades, and it shows in the way they operate and the loyalty they've built with customers. Chris runs an incredible shop, and his team reflects that standard across the board--professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely good people. It's rare to find a place like this. Once you go to Crawford Golf Auto, you won't go anywhere else.
