There's not enough space to tell how impressed I am with Miner and his crew. The best auto service around. The honesty and professionalism and putting his customers first. The generosity is unmatched. I brought my car in for service on a couple issues. Minor took his time to explain the needed repairs . Minor Generously worked with me on the needed repairs and talked me through the entire process. I'm very grateful for the service I got from everyone from the front desk to the mechanics to the owners. I'm a customer for life . If you need service , this is the only place to go. read more

My car had an issue with the starter button not working and the guys at Excel took the time to make sure that every wire was in working order. They are very thorough and made sure that everything was working 100%. Minor is an amazing owner and is so friendly and honest. His staff is top notch and I will be taking my car to them for any future repairs as they are trustworthy and go above and beyond. Thank you again for bringing my car back to life! read more

The absolute best in the western burbs! Minor and his guys are so helpful, always get my car in quickly and are reasonably priced. I have recommended them to friends and family and won't trust my car with anyone else! read more

These guys are the real deal! Two words come to my mind when I'm dealing with the all US military veteran staff; honesty and integrity. It's so refreshing to have an auto service station that you can trust in our area. read more

Amazing service and work. Veteran owned business and family. We are customers for life. Thanks Minor and team for always taking care of our family vehicles! read more

Thank you Minor for being honest and upfront. You just saved me a lot of money by suggesting we take our car back to the dealership where we bought it because you thought the part may still be under warranty at the Buick dealership! Thanks for not just "taking our money" and being honest! You guys run a top notch business. We will use you again and recommend you! read more

This place has a good cause between their support for veterans but also their work in the community! That although is not the only reason I go here. The work ethic is great and the owner stands behind ALL the work his employees do. They always go above and beyond to make sure their customers are safe in the road. I can not say enough good things about them. Always pleasant atmosphere and friendly people. If you go elsewhere for your work, your paying to much and missing a great opportunity to support local family owned business! read more

Very happy with work done here. They are always up front and prices were fair. My car is a pain in the butt and hard to get parts for, especially during Covid. Thank you Excel! read more

This is a automotive repair business that is trustworthy, professional, and talented. The entire experience, which was in a 24 hour period, was exceptional. I would and will highly recommend Excel Automotive Repair to anyone looking for a very good auto repair service shop. read more

These guys were great, honest (which is hard to find these days) and even saved me some money! I would recommend them to anyone. Keep up the good work! read more

Stopped in without an appointment to see if I needed a new starter. They immediately took my car in and did a complete diagnosis and determined all I needed was a new battery. No extra charge for the diagnostic work. I highly recommend this business and I will definitely be back when I need work done. read more

Quite simply, this is a great auto repair shop. With four drivers in our family, we have a lot of cars. It seems like oil changes alone keep us at the shop. My 'a-ha' moment starts like this... I was bringing my car to the local Mercedes dealer for service. It seemed like every time I took it in for an oil change I would incur another $1,000 in repairs. I spoke the owner at Excel, described the issue with my car and left it for them to repair. Now, two years later my car is still running flawlessly and the total repair was about 30% of what I was quoted elsewhere. I also like the fact that not only is Excel US Veteran owned and operated but they do a lot for veteran-related charities. Thank you Excel! read more

I couldn't recommend Excel Automotive more! I always dreaded taking my car in to get any sort of maintenance done. I actually got to the point where I'd have my husband do it for me. That's not the case at Excel! I actually look forward to going in. Not only are the technicians the best there are but I know I'm getting the best treatment around. This is the most honest group you will find out there. I've never had to wait too long to get anything done, no matter how busy they get. Believe me...you'll come in for the service but will want to stay for the company! We recently moved out to sycamore, my husband and I won't stop going to excel for all of our automotive care! read more

All this reviews on Google and Yelp are a let down. I had setup an appointment online for an oil change. I got the email confirmation from the owner, and a pricing. Upon arrival I waited 20 mins for someone to come to the the desk to check me in. I had start having doubt about this place. After 20 mins when a mechanic came out, I told him I have an appointment for an oil change at noon, but he did not have an record of it. That pissed me off. I showed up on time for something and did not have any clue. From the email I received from the owner I was suppose to get a full inspection at the time of oil change, which not happen because they weren't aware of me of coming. I was overcharged from what the owner sent in the email as well. All in all I won't be coming back to this place. And won't be recommending them to anyone else. Such irresponsible and unorganized people at this shop. read more

The place sucks becuase they do not stand behind their work at all and they lied. For example the wiring harness was fixed by them then the next week we took it down and dated you did not fix it anf they said that we did not do that.when thats the only place we taken it to so there liars amd theirs read more

My neighbor referred me to Excel when i was looking for a mechanic that could get my kids high mileage car in top shape. I know nothing about cars and was anxious about being able to find a mechanic I could trust. My neighbors experience was extraordinary with Excel so I called Minor (owner) and set up an appointment. Minor was awesome. The car had 120k miles and I wanted it inspected and fixed so we could confidently get another 100k miles on the car. Excel did a thorough inspection and Minor was extremely patient in explaining everything to me. He actually made me understand what needed to be fixed and why. I made the investment in the repairs and the car came out in superb condition. I think the car will be good for 200k miles. I now bring my wife's car to Excel. I'm so thankful to have found a highly skilled and trustworthy mechanic. I give Excel my highest recommendation. read more

If there was 10 stars here I'd give these guys 11!! Super awesome service with quality work..

Minor Mobley the owner is awesome and he cares about his customers. Will be back here for all my automotive needs.. Busy or not, they will always find a spot to fit you into their schedule.. Thanks guys! read more

We've been using this place for over 2 years and couldn't think higher of them, until now!!! I'm pretty sure they changed ownership. Now they're terrible!!! We made an appointment on a Friday for an oil change and to have them check out why my AC wasn't working. They finally called around 3 to say they needed the car another day to figure it out. They tried charging the AC but that didn't fix the problem, it's electrical. They are not open on Saturdays during the summer anymore so I had to take Monday off from work. My husband called on Monday at 2:20. The guy that answered said oh, let me put someone on that. Uh, yeah you think?!?! What is the point of having an appointment if you have to call late in the afternoon to get them to start working on your car??? He called again after 4 to get an update. He had to call multiple times to get someone to answer. They still didn't know what was wrong. My husband told them we were going to have to pick up the car today because I already took the day off of work to get them to figure it out and they didn't! When we went to pick it up the parking lot was overflowing with cars into the street! My husband asked what happened. The guy said they overbooked and they were short a technician. WTF!!!! Do they want to pay me for taking the day off of work for nothing??? Now I still don't know what's wrong with my AC and when my husband paid for the car they didn't give him a receipt because they said the printer wasn't working. This is the 2nd time they've given him that excuse!!! They said they were going to email it to him the next day. He had to call a dozen times the next day to get it!!! Well that gives them all the time in the world to make up whatever charges they want!! I will never bring our car there again! I am so livid!! We spent so many thousands of $$$ there over the past 2 years plus brought other people there. I just can't believe it! They used to be so good. Such a disappointment. Don't waste your time or money at Excel!!! read more

Great reliable auto care! Could not be happier with the service. They do it all, from fixing our breaks to putting in a new door handle. Courteous customer service, very personable, independent local owned, highly recommend Excel for all your car needs!! read more

I was experiencing issues with my rear brakes. I had brakes done here 15 months ago, so I called to get them checked out. Minor Mobley, the owner, took my call and got me in for a 10 AM inspection the next day. His mechanics ended up replacing my rear brake pads and rotors with more superior parts than I had originally at no cost to me. He said it was covered under the warranty. He did not have the parts in stock, called 3 places and sent a tech out to get them immediately. I was out the door by noon! That's GREAT customer service! I had my 2-year-old daughter with me and needed to get to work. Minor was great with my daughter and they had trains and coloring books to keep her occupied while I was there. The car rides very smoothly now and I will definitely bring my cars back here for future service. I would highly-recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an honest mechanic. read more
