They advised me that to get into the trans and change that, they should replace the whole transmission for a couple hundred more, otherwise they couldn't guarantee the work. And they charged $150 for this "diagnosis". They wanted thousands of dollars for a new transmission, and I was stuck because I couldn't take the emissions test to renew my plates with a check engine light on. Brought it to Tony's Transmissions, and he replaced the sensor in a few days for a few hundred dollars. I can't remember the exact amount because I paid cash and it was about a year ago, but I just saw his business pop up when I was doing a search and remembered that I should have left him a review back then. He really did great work. Check engine light was off, car passed emissions, and we drove it for another year before selling it a friend for his teenage son. Car is still running strong.

Tony said they were backed up and I offered to drop it off early just in case Tony and team got some extra time, as the family had an urgent college move-in date to make :-) Tony and team got the sensor part in and quickly turned it around, including some Q/A to make sure it was stable. Pricing with parts and labor was very reasonable.

I called the location in the morning and when I mentioned that I thought it was head gasket issue the man on the phone scolded me and told me I had no idea what I was talking about. He gave me a grandiose lecture on how he knows all about cars and has been doing it for x amount of years. He was extremely rude and dismissive. He called me several days later and told me it was NOT a head gasket. I then took my car to the Meineke on the same road (where the man was very kind by the way) and they told me that my car did, in fact, have a severe head gasket issue. Not only is this mechanic extremely disrespectful, but he also apparently has no clue what he's talking about. I'm sorry but if a 20 year old woman knows more about cars than you do you may want to rethink your career. What a waste of time and energy.

So we stayed the chilly night and the next morning John sent a tow truck to pick us up. I had been traveling from Florida to Milwaukee and had previously stopped at a Mr. Transmission to fix the transmission (clearly was not fixed..) John and Curtis were amazing and got us back on the road by the end of day! I am so blessed and grateful to have met such an amazing person with a wonderful character! My brother's review: John is a man first, and awesome mechanic next! Had to get towed in to his shop unintentionally, and unbenounced but still service was rendered gleefully. The vehicle was of a family members, but treated as my own. John was more honest about what all could be wrong, but still reassuring of what could also be done. The part was miniscule but needing to be ascertained elsewhere. Although we waited hours till arrival of the part, John tailored to our needs and wants. All in all, made an preordained tragedy into a parable situation. Thanks again.

That's when we noticed a strange sound coming from our car. Uh oh. That's not good when we are hundreds of miles from home with the two kids.

We were back on the road and the car was running great again. Jim really saved us. Thanks, Jim!

My daughter found Absolute Automotive in Coal City. I needed a brake job. Jim, the owner, did a fantastic job and charged a fair price. I recently experienced the dreaded "Check Engine" light phenomenon and took my car to Absolute. The diagnostics were inconclusive. Jim conducted a couple of weeks of research into finding the cause of the phantom light. In the end, he replaced the intake manifold gasket and mass air flow sensor. Again, the cost was more than fair. My car, which has 165,000 miles on it is running like its brand new. This is a business you can trust to solve your automotive issues.
