this is the second time i go there and I was really impressed with the quality of service and go beyond that. explained what is the problem and what he is going to do. i am really happy and also my car :) highly recommended read more

I went to George's, because of the good reviews and it being a local business. I did not have a good experience here. I brought my car to the shop for an air conditioning repair. After 2 attempts to repair it, the problem was not resolved. When I asked Khadir what he recommended, he suggested taking my car to the dealer. So I paid $350 cash to not have my problem fixed, and had to start from square one with the dealer. The dealer found the problem, and fixed it in one day. The problem was not behind the dashboard, as was suggested by Khadir. It was a leak the mechanic at George's should have found when they put the dye through the system to test for the leak. read more

My car wouldn't start so I had it towed here. Guy charged me just under $500 to change my battery. Took about an hour tops. Drove the car home from the shop, turned it off, now it won't start again. Called him, he didn't even say sorry he just wanted me to bring it back so he could scam me again. Also told me I needed new brakes when I had all of them replaced 11 months ago. Couldn't say worse things about this place. read more

My car needed some work, and George always comes thru. They changed my timing belt, water pump, along with some sensors and with a great price. The car was done the same day! The mechanic George explained everything to me and then some - he even went above and beyond by cleaning my engine (power washing it and drying). read more

I made contact with George, one of the listed owners, and made several requests about the price of an oil change. George did not respond with an estimate and instead threatened to report me fit " my actions". I he r saved all communications with George. In short, terrible communication and extremely rude. Don't waste your time and money at his establishment. read more

Khadir and his team fixed my front suspension very quickly and for an affordable price! He was very kind and walked me through what was done when I went to pick up my car. Highly recommend coming here for suspension repair. read more

George has been my go-to car guy for over a year and is trustworthy and reliable. No more going back to my dealership and waiting hours or days to get my car fixed. I brought my car in at 7am on a Friday and I had it back the same day by 3pm. George always handles all of concerns and goes above and beyond. He treats his customers like family. I'm happy to be able to support a local business that is all about the community. Go to George! You won't regret it!! read more

Highly recommend! I usually talk with Khadir, but everyone that works here is friendly. I've brought my car here three times and have had three great experiences. Khadir is so friendly making the whole experience easy and stress free. I feel like I've finally found a no fuss, trusted auto shop. It's great to know I can always get reliable help when needed. I never thought I'd write a review for an auto shop, so this says a lot :) read more

My son took his car here for a catalytic converter repair. Needed to be replaced. After replacement the light engine came back on draining oil into the catalytic converter as per "George' automotive repair" and was told I needed a new new motor. Not comfortable with the assessment, I sought a second opinion but this time from the car manufacturer, to find out that the catalytic converter had NOT installed correctly by "George' automotive repair" and I did not need a new motor, nor was any evidence of oil leak into the motor. The mechanic took advantage of his inexperience on the matter. The secondary repair done costed $2342 on top of what was already paid to replace the catalytic converter plus other part due to the damage done on the first repair. Now asking for refund on first repair as warranty coverage still in action until August 24th, 2022 We came here in good faith to have this resolved and ended up being yelled at by owner/manager. read more

I love that cars get us from point A to point B, but sometimes finding a good "car doctor" can be stressful. Even though my car is 6 years old, I hadn't gotten much work done on it at all. After leaving another auto shop in the area that was overly busy and unhelpful, I happened to pass by this place. I pulled over and looked up reviews. I couldn't believe how many 5 and 4 star reviews George's had. I knew I had to give this auto shop a chance. As soon as I stepped on the property, I was welcomed and helped. I ended up leaving my car overnight and they looked over my car the next morning. He did a full brake job and oil change at a reasonable price. The whole process was so smooth. I wouldn't hesitate to get more services completed at this auto repair shop in the future. read more

I my friend recommended I come here after getting such good service Iwish that I would've found George's automobile repair place sooner. Khadir helped me and he is THE NICEST PERSON!'n I had a problem with my car for a year and I took it somewhere else and they said there wasn't an issue and he is the nicest man ever it's really hard being a woman taking your car to a shot by yourself and he makes everything super easy and he has the nicest person. he makes you feel really comfortable and his pricing is absolutely incredible and he fix my problem inexpensively and I am only exclusively taking my car to his shop forever read more

I was recently rear ended and needed my bumper and back tail light replaced. The insurance company gave me a limited budget to get it fixed. I took my car to George's Automotive Repair on a Saturday, and Khadir had the bumper and tail light replaced while also fixing several other rust spots/dents and waxing my car all by Monday afternoon. I bought my car used 3 years ago, and it's honestly never looked better. Definitely recommend! read more

We hadn't driven our car in a while during the Covid quarantine, and while running an errand, my husband decided to choose our lesser used car just to give it some exercise. Our brakes had been getting a little loose on the car but after the long break from driving, they were basically shot. My husband took the car to George's since it was just a few blocks away from the house. He dropped it off with them and walked back while they took a look. We were called later that day after they took a look and told that the brakes needed to be replaced. They were able to get this done for us within 24 hours and my husband was able to pick up the car the next morning. The car runs like a dream now and the brakes are perfect. Everything about the service felt honest and earnest and at no time did George's try to upcharge or upsell us anything. In fact, he even made it a point to fix (instead of replace) the calipers which saved us a good $1000+ and not something that most repair shops would bother to do. Pricing was very reasonable and felt fair and the shop seemed professional and of high quality. Would highly recommend George's to anyone needing repair work done on their car. read more

Khadir is the real deal! He and his colleague are incredibly talented mechanics and truly care about their customer's satisfaction. They treat you like family. We have had both of our trucks serviced by Khadir at George's Automotive for various needs, and it couldn't have been a better experience! We are so grateful we found our trustworthy and fair-priced mechanic! Located at 3209 W. Barry Ave. Chicago, IL 60618 read more

Great service, honest, friendly, fair and fast!! Won't go anywhere else!! Owners a really nice guy! read more

Our exhaust pipe/muffler/catalytic converter rusted out and fell, dragging on the ground as we drove. It was REAL bad. We took the car to George's on a Friday morning and Khadir took us in right away. He was so kind and immediately knew what was wrong and what needed done to fix it. He was very sweet and I immediately trusted him! We left our car there and he called us about an hour later with a plan and what it would cost. He had the car done about 2 hours later, good as new. Only $150!!! We were SO impressed with the timeliness, price, and the job well-done. Fixed all of the problems we had. Khadir was also just so funny and a delight to interact with. We will be taking our car to George's for ALL future problems. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

This guy charged me 100.00 to access my car because I had a noise and I wanted him to see what it was. He told me the noise came from my fender bender and I had missing screws from my bumper. I fixed the body work and still had the noise. Took my car to ABM auto repair. They are the truth fixed all my problems. No more noise! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE I brought my car a few months ago because I was having some electrical issues that were causing my headlights to go on and off randomly and a bunch of dash lights to come on and off. So, I brought it to George because he had done some good, reasonably priced work for me in the past. This time was an absolute nightmare. First, he did $300 of unauthorized work. When I told him he should have gotten my authorization, he said I should have answered my phone (I was at work). He then said "At least it didn't break the bank" as if he knows my financial situation. I brought the car home and all of the problems persisted. So, I brought it back to George. $1000 more work. So $1,300 later and I still have all of the exact same problems I did when I brought the car in. DO. NOT. TAKE. YOUR.CAR.HERE read more

Khadir got me out of a jam today. Car had been starting slow, feared it was something worse than just a junk battery. It was a junk battery, and when I called about my car not starting Khadir said he was on the road and nearby, happy to either jump it or pull it back to the shop. No towing fee, which was $80 saved right there. Replaced battery, noticed there was a misfire, replaced spark plugs and few other parts I had let go for too long. Everyone knows someone who knows a good mechanic, but if you go to George's and meet Khadir, you can be the person who knows a good mechanic. They are honest, quick and like the Sopranos. I will definitely be back. read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars because that's the treatment I got here at George's. There is a reason this place has been around for 40 years! Khadir is one of the nicest mechanics you'll meet and from the moment you speak with him, you can tell he genuinely loves his business and his customers. I dropped my '07 Civic off a few minutes before they closed along with the diagnosis I received from the Honda dealer. Khadir called me promptly the next morning to go over everything I needed done. He went on to tell me that he just wants to take care of his customers and therefore he does not charge overhead fees like most dealers do. He explained in detail what work was absolutely necessary and what could wait. During our call, I expressed interest in new hub caps and he told me ordering directly from Honda would be costly so he offered to drive out and find me some options. He gave me an estimate over the phone, made sure I was comfortable with it, and told me he would have the car ready the next day (and promised he wouldn't go over the estimate.) Khadir texted me less than an hour later with hubcap options. Around 3pm, he told me my car would be ready that evening! I arrived around 5:45 and had to wait a few minutes because he was getting the inside AND outside of my car cleaned. In that time, Khadir explained everything he did to my car, including showing me all the old/broken parts. His enthusiasm and pride in his work was apparent. As I left, he told me to call him anytime with any issues or concerns. This man and his team are truly great and a blessing to Chicago car owners. I was nervous to take my car in to get it fixed as I know absolutely nothing about cars. Khadir and his team made me feel welcome and truly comfortable. I will most definitely be bringing my car back here regularly for oil changes and routine maintenance and I encourage anyone reading this to do the same! read more

My car was involved in a hit and run with alignment and body damage =(. I brought it to George's Auto Repair and it was definitely the best decision! The moment I came in, Khadir was very welcoming, polite, and professional. He was familiar with the whole insurance process and I felt like my car was in good hands the whole time. I definitely saved money bringing my car to him versus any other shop. While I was waiting, he was also giving my father updates on the car so I knew when to expect it. And when I got my car back, it looks like it was never even in an accident! Drove to and from work, cruised on the expressway, etc. No internal problems whatsoever. I definitely recommend this shop for its excellent work and professionalism! read more

To the real hero's of the world. Very personable and reasonable, even got to see some puppy pictures! Khadir gave me a flashlight and showed me the wear and tear under my car to make sure I understood what had happened, and what needed to be done. Helpful and enjoyable environment, found a new reliable mechanic and will recommended to any and all looking for one. read more

I don't know why it took me so long to write this review as George was really GREAT and I'm happy to give him 5 stars!! My Range Rover Evoque took a corner a little too sharp and clipped a Parking Garage Pylon. I had damage on my rear door and fender. To make matters worse I needed to go on a road trip Monday... what body shop get the work done in time with me dropping it off on a Friday?!? ANSWER... GEORGE DID!! Car looked incredible when I came Monday Morning to pick it up and the price was more then reasonable considering my expectations. If your in a pinch and in the area... you should check these guys out. read more

I wonder if Khadir and his team are the last of a dying breed. I feel like it's getting harder to find a local mechanic that you can trust and not overcharge you nowadays. He was friendly, attentive and I felt genuinely committed to customer service since he's the long-time owner of the business. It started off as a request for an oil change before it moved to a discussion to swap out the worn out shocks and struts to some after-market coilovers. Pricing was reasonable. They went ahead and adjusted the height and dampening per my specs and didn't give me a hard time catering to my preferences. His team eventually discovered that my check engine light on was due to some busted cam sensors and I also needed my valve covers replaced (since there was oil all over the engine). Again, pricing was reasonable based on what I could find on Google. Best part of all this was him changing out my old bald tires for brand new tires, which I admit was feeling rougher on the road. He let me choose the ones I found on Tirerack.com that were best suited for my convertible and I compared his install and alignment pricing to another competitor in the city. Again, his pricing is fair and reasonable. Khadir provided me daily updates and texted me pictures of the progress. For transparency, when I would stop by to the shop, he would show me how busted the old parts were and walked me through the changes his team put in. Because it was a small job that evolved to many jobs, it ended up being a big job and he threw in a pretty sweet car wash and interior detailing for free. To say the least, this was my first time and certainly not the last time that George's Auto will be receiving my business! read more

It started out with an oil change last summer using groupon, Khadir happily said forget about that Groupon, he gave me the same deal and topped off all my fluids. I had a second oil change, and today I pretty much needed a new front suspension. New front right axyl, front struts, and stabilizer links on both sides, lifetime warranty plus a little oil - all for $1200. It drives like new, and I feel very confident I'll be going back for my rear suspension. Very dependable, and lets you know everything. Quality job. I can trust Khadir with his knowledge and ability to get it done quickly and with the highest quality. read more

Excellent, quick service. Oil change this time, 25 minutes in and out! Khadir and his team are awesome!

Im so happy to have found this mechanic. The owner is awesome and so kind. He gave me an honest quote and a super quick turn around for the work they did. He was very communicative and did all he could for me. Ive continued to take my car back there several times and will continue to go here. Great person and also great shop. read more

My car needed a new suspension and George's shop got it done in no time and I've been satisfied ever since. Great service!!!!! 5star serving. Great Price! read more

This place... Took a month to finish brakes. Then the tire fell off the car. Somehow the owner said that you don't have to take off and put on the tire to change the brakes. Listen do not go here. If you know someone that is direct them elsewhere. Worst experience in my life. Smh do better read more

As First time Customer I find myself definitely returning for my mechanical needs. Khadir and the crew were extremely professional and got the work done in a timely manner. Very honest and affordable Thank you for the help! read more

After calling multiple repair shops in the area who were not able to provide pricing or fair pricing on the services I needed done, I spoke on the phone with Khadir and was able to bring in my car the next day without an appointment. Khadir was so helpful and was able to provide me the best pricing for the services I needed done. While waiting, he had me come in the shop to show me the old versus new parts for my car and did not try to sell me any services I did not need. I had an oil change, front and rear differential fluid change, and new rotors/brake pads replaced on the car and it was all completed within a day at a fraction of the dealer cost. I was unable to get my car the night before and Khadir even came in on his day off before a holiday weekend. I will definitely be coming back! read more

UPDATE as of 1/2/20: Right before Christmas, I hit a huge roll of tarp that was rolling around on I-90...and my front bender/radiator/bumper was wrecked. As in, pieces hanging off and scraping against the ground. I was in a bind, as I'm reliant on my car (like most). Khadir and his guys let me have the car towed over the holidays, sit in their lot, while we waited for my insurance to set up the claim. And then, almost unbelievably, they were able to get my car back to me in SIX days. It's now shiny and like nothing ever happened. BONUS...Khadir had my car washed inside and out before returning it to me! Thank you, George's Automotive!!! read more

Khadir is the absolute best. He made my car safe to drive in less than 24 hours. I was looking for a mechanic and found one anything I need I will go to Khadir for. He is a true blessing. He had excellent customer service talking me home since I wasn't able to drive myself home. He also explains what's wrong and educates you about your car and how to keep it in shape. All in all, I loved my experience and believe you will to. BREAKS FEEL AMAZING!!! read more

Best service I've had at an auto repair shop. I really appreciate that Khadir took the time to explain everything he was doing on the car and what he could do to save me money, and he had me test drive the car with him to make sure I was satisfied with his work. Car is running better than ever since the repairs, I will be coming here for any future work on my car read more

I recently bought a used car and took it to George's for an oil change. Khadir (owner) and staff were friendly, knowledgeable and told me what could use repair without trying to "up sell." He even told me that the repair in question isn't a priority, just come back if I ever decide to fix it and he'll order the parts. They even drilled in my front license plate and fixed a rattle with no additional charge. I had been nervous about the rattle on my older car before Khadir gave an explanation and his stamp of approval. My conscience has been eased and I'm so glad I went to George's. I didn't think it was even possible to find an auto shop that leaves you with a smile on your face and your pockets intact. read more

I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Excellent customer service, they treat you like family. Good pricing on parts and labor! read more

Big Fan of these guys, quick, professional and reliable. Whether it's an oil change or asking them to double check something that doesn't seem right they're the guys I would go to first. read more

My friend had recommended this place for anything car related and I am glad she did! Khadir was very nice and responsive to my concerns. I was afraid I would not be able to have my car fixed right away since it was a Saturday, but George's had it fixed within an hour. Great prices and great people, I highly recommend. read more

Khadir is a life savor. I. Allows on a Wednesday about my car's broken compressor. Not only did he take my car the very next morning, it was ready for pick up by 4pm that day AND he replaced the serpentine belt without charging me a leg and an arm. He was super friendly, efficient, and affordable. Could not recommend this place enough!! read more

Khadir and his team are a wonder -- they are immensely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. It is clear that they value creating lasting relationships with their customers equally as much as they value completing honest, reasonably priced automotive work (a difficult find in Chicago!). I've had two repairs completed at George's: a replacement tensioner & serpentine belt and a tire patch (from a rogue screw). In both instances, Khadir and the mechanics (especially John) were helpful and kind. Additionally, as a woman, I've never felt like I was a part of my car's mechanical journey (nor did I feel like any mechanic ever wanted to teach me). At George's, though, this couldn't be more untrue. Khadir and John have taken the time to explain parts of my engine to me, as well as show me exactly what work they've completed and how. I now feel much more knowledgeable regarding cars than I ever have before. I will never take my care elsewhere, and I encourage you to do the same. Take your cars to George's! read more
