I could drop the car off, get a courtesy ride via his then business partner, and then pick up the car after work and drive back to Lombard. This relationship lasted about 7 years until the job vanished. I was just doing a review for another shop and thought about Bill and all the trust I had in him and his crew. So although this review is somewhat late in coming, I believe that good people and good business people remain true to their image. I would trust Bill as much today and I did 15 years ago, and want to THANK him for all of his good work, fair prices, and for taking care of my car so well for the time we used the shop. Best of everything to you Bill!

I tried stopping in and was told they don't accept walk-ins and that I had to make an appointment. So I made an appointment and when I came back at that time, she told me they don't service tires or have capacity for oil changes. WHY did I make an appointment then? I came in person again years later to inquire about service and again was informed TO MY FACE that they have enough customers. My jaw dropped and I told her I will never try again and walked out as she was raising her voice at me that I didn't give them a chance. Bewildering.

I ended up taking it to a shop and got done what it needed for 2grand. The vehicle is riding without an issue. The man who works your front desk was speaking for the mechanic and that lost your business money, if you care? If your shop isn't capable of doing the work, just say that. Don't disrespect a customer (I've had plenty of work done with multiple vehicles there). Did he sky rocket the price because they didn't want to do the work? I'm honestly still shocked and confused by the whole situation. Crooks

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.
