I insisted that the team to STOP touching my car due to the unprofessional manner by the mechanic. They refused and kept going....it was HORRIBLE. I was angered and upset that someone was willing to HURT my Car. I eventually got them to stop. They bolted my lower ball joint backwards, and shoved my car to the lot. I had it transported to Clavey down the street on Chestnut. The Professionals at Clavey assessed that they broke my Wheel Bearing and Hub. They also broke my lower ball joint and damaged my brake system. The crew found multiple issues on my car due to the lack of experience by the Cars of America staff.

Dwayne (and Dan…read moreand the rest of the Clavey crew) have always been very personable, professional, knowledgeable and honest. Their inspections are very thorough. They will tell you what needs to be done (from a safety standpoint) to what could be done (fixing minor things that don't impact the daily operation of the vehicle). There are no upsells; no pressure to do things that don't really need to be done; etc. I trust them completely with our cars. Now my son and his girlfriend take their cars to Clavey. :-) I highly recommend them.

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.

I found Auto Service with Steve online, and their website specifically lists "Jaguar F-Type" as one of the models they service. I called, spoke directly with Steve, explained exactly what I needed (oil change, brake fluid check, maintenance reminder reset, etc.), and he confirmed they could handle it with no problem. He even said he had the tools to reset the maintenance reminder. We scheduled for Friday. I called off work to make this appointment and drove over early. When I arrived, Steve looked confused and said he couldn't work on my car because it was "too low." My car is completely stock, no modifications, no lowered suspension. He suddenly changed his story. So not only did I waste my time and lose a day of work, but his website explicitly claims they service F-Types. If a shop is going to advertise that they handle specific models, they should be prepared to do so or at least be upfront about limitations before confirming an appointment. Extremely disappointed. Misleading advertising and poor communication. I wouldn't trust this place for anything Jaguar-related.

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.
