A great local shop with a professional staff. They let me know what needs to be done and they don't gouge me. I recently bought a car and they recommended I ask the dealer to take care of needed repairs rather than charging me for the repairs in the future. read more

Called about a rattle I was hearing in my car and they got me in immediately (like 10 minutes) and took care of it right away. Super professional, explained what they found, and didn't overcomplicate a simple fix. Hard to find a shop this trustworthy. Highly recommend!! read more

We're big fans of Lincoln Wilson Auto Service. We've used Tony for several repairs since we moved to the neighborhood in 2019. He is honest and reliable, plus he's a really nice guy. Our repairs have covered a few cars--VW Jetta, VW Taus and 2003 Jeep Liberty--and issues--from flat tires and dead batteries to heating and brakes. I've always felt comfortable leaving our car there for repairs and have appreciated Tony and his team offering options when our vehicles needed work. Just a great place--highly recommended. read more

We had the good fortune to move in across the street from Lincoln Wilson Auto Repair. These guys are seriously the best. They have been honest from the first interaction, advising us something was better handled by a transmission shop. I've even overheard them telling other clients that work was unnecessary. As a woman, I always have my guard up walking into mechanics, but not here. Tony and co are all very kind and "chill,", as the kids say. Prices are fair and they are extremely fast too. Work gets done the same day or early the next. Highly recommend and we will be using Lincoln Wilson as long as we are in Chicago! read more

Had an AC drain clogged, and they fixed it right away. Super nice and straight forward. Can't recommend enough.

A antique car collector recommended Lincoln Wilson to me,, when I bought my new Mini Cooper in 2011. The closest Mini auto repair was 20 miles away, so I gave them a try. It was the best thing I ever did. These people are wonderful, very knowledgeable about European Cars as well as American cars and locally owned. You'll see Tony working alongside his guys often, overseeing customer service as well as workmanship. My mini, now 14 years old, runs like a brand new car. Thanks, Tony! Carol read more

Lincoln-Wilson at 5101 N Western (by Foster Avenue) rocks. Its skilled, educated top mechanics in diagnostics, getting the parts quickly and doing the labor in one's car methodically, with precision and utmost commitment to the job at hand (big, or small) it will be perfect! Been going there for a couple of years and have always delivered. First and foremost for is that they are beyond honest in what a car needs and what is quoted is fair and guaranteed. Never felt that I've been gouged, or pad a bill, or suggest work that's not needed. They go by the book including that of the higher powers. Owning a car is necessary for so many reasons, and its repair-maintenance can be costly. What makes an investment in a car a good one, is a wise choice in buying a quality, top rated brand car if a new one. We all know teh brands that are better than others, and if in doubt, ask the Lincoln-Wilson guys before you buy, who are always available when you call to answer your questions - the relationship to a customer is number one! I feel as if that's their number one rule! If you buy a used car, it's always a good idea to have an inspection by a mechanic you know and trust. It is worth the fee to look it over, and assess in what condition it is, and how soon it may need some kinda of fixin'! Lots of shops out there, I find Lincoln-Wilson to be a five star 5* one. read more

I called about my car, which had just received its 2nd jump in about 12 hours, and they said I could bring it right over. They took a look right away and were able to assure me the battery and alternator were both still in fine working order. The much-cheaper-to-fix issue was the negative battery terminal was loose. They were able to secure it well enough to avoid any immediate issues, but advised I'd need a new one from Hyundai, which they could then install. I'm so grateful they could help and find an easy fix! read more

Outstanding Service! Tony and his Mechanics are Great, Fair Prices, excellent service, and trustworthy. I highly recommend them, for all of your car's maintenance. Always polite and accommodating. Patrice T. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a few months, but here we are finally! As newbies to Chicago, it is important to find your "guy" for everything from home repairs to car repairs. Second day in Chicago, and someone clips my left read end and with seconds, there's quite a bit of damage. Not the best way to start an introduction to the new city. After 3 quotes, Lincoln Wilson Service not only provided us the lowest quote but the quickest turnaround time! Although we were without a car for 2-3 days, they did a fantastic job, and made sure it looked as good as new! They are good, kind people, who do an honest job with your car. I have since recommended them to other friends in the area, who have also come away pleased with their experience. 100% will use them for all car repairs/oil changes in the future, and happy that we have locked down solid place for all our car needs! Look no further, Lincoln Wilson Service is the place to go and have your car in good hands! See before and after pictures below read more

They did a great job on fixing my wife's CRV. Rear tailgate fit and finish were top notch. Keep us up to date and when parts came they took the car and finished. Didn't have to leave car in advance read more

Over the years, Tony and his team have given trustworthy advice and delivered the right fixes for any issues. Everyone on their team is a true professional who patiently answers our questions and walks us through the steps. We never feel rushed, despite their numerous customers and busy schedules. Today, Mario correctly diagnosed my brake issue and applied the right fix straightforwardly. It's one thing to have a capable mechanic, but another to have one you can trust to discuss all mechanical issues candidly. Lincoln-Wilson's reviews speak for themselves. They are simply superb. read more

My daughters car was stolen in Chicago (Kia Soul) by some local kids and then dumped with broken windows, steering column, etc. She was of course very upset. Lincoln Wilson was highly rated and so we called them up. They sent out a tow truck, brought the car in and repaired it like new. But that wasn't what was impressive. What was so wonderful is how they treated my daughter. It was like she was their daughter. And I am several states away knowing I could trust them to take care of both her car and to help her every way they could. So thank you!!! My daughter lives in Chicago and any car needs as long as she lives there will be met by Lincoln Wilson. read more

i have been going to Lincoln Wilson for about five years. Unlike other shops, they have always been knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and trustworthy. A great service center. read more

I've been bringing our vehicles to Tony at Lincoln Wilson for twenty years. First a 1984 Mercedes Turbodiesel, than a Mini Cooper, later a Honda Pilot and now my 2018 Honda Ridgeline pickup truck. The truck has almost 130,000 miles on it as once or twice a week I do a round-trip to rural Wisconsin where we have a farm. I thought it was probably smart to bring it in and have Lincoln Wilson go to the truck just to identify and fix anything that was wrong. I dropped off the truck with Tony this morning. This afternoon he called me and said "TJ is nothing wrong with this truck, it's in great shape..." There was no charge. This is the reason I've been bringing my truck to Lincoln Wilson for so very long. It's not convenient, but I can be sure the service will be done in an honest and ethical manner. read more

I have been here twice with two different cars and had great experiences both times. I brought my very sad old Ford Focus here a few years ago and they were very honest about breaking down what needed to be fixed and what I could do without. The car was on it's last legs and I asked them to fix just what I needed for it to be safe to drive for a couple more weeks. I appreciated them not pressuring me to pour money into a car I was getting rid of soon anyway. Flash forward to today - my Ford Escape had something visibly hanging down on the front undercarriage. I took it in and they told me a bolt was missing from the cover, probably from an oil change (thanks for nothing, Jiffy Lube). The employee fixed it in less than 10 minutes and refused to even charge me. I will add that he was also very nice and wore a mask properly the whole time I was there. I will continue to bring my car here whenever it needs anything. read more

Tony and his team are super professional and welcoming. Highly recommend Lincoln Wilson Service.

I found this mechanic on Yelp. It had good reviews so I thought I'd check them out. It's challenging to find a good mechanic but I think I found my new go-to. Not only did they figure out what was wrong with my car (and went into great detail to explain what was wrong) but they also noticed that my brakes needed to be replaced. The price was fair as well. No one likes to need to get their car serviced, but if you check out Lincoln, at least you know you will get your car serviced right. read more

Friendly, professional, honest Their friendliness, and professionalism were the first things that led me to decide to take my car there. Their honestly, expertise, and thurough communication will keep me taking cars there in the future. read more

This is a bit late from my visit to this place. I was taken care of quite well. The owner (? ) was accommodating with my request that I wait for the service to be done on my brake flush (which was mentioned with another review) Normally, you'd drop off something that is more complex for them to service without waiting around but since I was new and nervous with having someone else work on my car he was kind and understanding. The service was done within the time promised (actually earlier as they teamed up to get it done ASAP which is a plus) on price promised and with the quality that I would expect. I am easy going with most businesses as long as they properly communicate and live up to their promises the majority of the time. When something does come up (in car repair and other things as well) from time to time, it is essential that the business works hard to communicate and explain the issues and resolve them. I feel this place with the reviews and my interaction with the owner (?) will do this. I am a person that will stay with a company that serves their customers well. I have been with a previous service company since the late 1990's and only started searching out someone else due to improper treatment at a dealer (other review) and the retirement of the previous service company business. read more

Awesome! I've taken my car here a few times and always had great service. They went above and beyond on my moving day when something was dragging under my car. They got me in immediately without an appointment and put my car up, secured the piece that was dragging and sent me on my way FOR NO CHARGE! I'm not in the area any longer but still plan to bring my car here for service. read more

I've been coming to Lincoln Wilson Service for years now and they never disappoint. Tony is upfront and honest about everything. He gives you a complete breakdown of what you need and how much it cost. If you're looking for a great mechanic who is not only affordable but knowledgeable look no further. I highly recommend this company!!!!!! read more

My daughter is in college, long way from home and our regular mechanic. When we had an engine light problem, we called Tony. I was very hopeful to find a good mechanic for her 2006 Toyota and I am convinced we have. This was the type of situation where some less ethical shop could have suggested a lot of unnecessary work. Not only did he look at the car within a day, but he explained exactly what he did and why and what to watch out for. I expected a large bill, but the root cause was something that was a lot less expensive. We will be coming back, but like he said, hopefully not too soon! read more

Went to get my vehicle checked out as it was making a rumbling sound when driving. They took my car for a test drive and even put it on the lift for inspection but couldn't find the root cause of the problem. So I took it somewhere else, and there they where able to quickly diagnose it as wheel bearing problem. I am not sure if the mechanics here aren't experienced enough or what? I wasn't charged but i did have to take it somewhere else, not sure if they're really pros for not catching something so simple to a different mechanic. read more

I've been coming here since 2016 because my parents have been coming here before i did. Dealer quality maintenance and service without paying dealer service shop prices. Friendly professional knowledgeable. They won't price gouge you and give you the best prices without breaking the bank. You always feel like you're in control aka driver's seat when you service your vehicle here. Stop looking elsewhere for you auto repairs. This is the place. read more

Look no further. Been coming to Lincoln Wilson for the past couple years and the service is top notch! The owner is very responsive, reliable, and trustworthy. Not to mention all the guys that work there are super friendly and really care about customers. Prices are very reasonable for the expertise and level of care. So sad I'm relocating out of Chicago. Hope I can find a new shop as great as this one- I'll miss these guys! read more

I can't say enough good things about Lincoln Wilson Service. Tony the manager helped me when they had a garage full of cars and I was desperate. He dropped everything to look into a problem I was having. When have you heard of such a thing. I had no appointment or anything I mean I was desperate. Don't hesitate the service and people here are beyond wonderful and it is so clean and pleasant. Please consider taking your car here for service you won't be sorry. read more

Absolutely goated. Had an issue with a piece of my car scraping the road and they had me in and out in 20 minutes, day of. Super nice guys.

Found these guys on Yelp. Close to where I lived, good reviews-thought I found my new mechanics. My rearviewmirror was fixed by an out sourced glass guy by them- was reasonable though done a bit sloppy. Didn't judge them for it-not their work. Just went in for a tune up service & my air pressure tire light is on. They quoted $800 for tune up & front brake job?!!?!! When I asked for price break down, he got flustered. Red flag. Said the front brakes cost $440 (ish) and I asked how much oil change & tune up costs were- got that down to $350 ish. That's for basic oil change, filters & spark plugs. I've never paid over $350 for front brakes & confirmed with another mechanic that he could do it for that cost. Needless to say I'm getting brakes done elsewhere. Unfortunately I committed to the tune up. Wonder what I paid $350 for really? Was it also overpriced? I do know my check tire pressure light was on still when I left even though I asked them to check that too. they told me to drive my car around for awhile & the light will go off. Its 24 hours later and the check tire pressure light is still on even though I've driven it around. If u want overpriced & half ass work done, this seems to be the place for you-not me. I'll go elsewhere. read more

Brought my car in for a tire repair and was in and out before I had to log into work. They were quick, easy to talk with, and nice. While I was there I got a quote for some other work that needed to be done on my 2007 Toyota. After spending the last 5 years looking for a reliable and honest mechanic, I think I've found the place. I brought my car back a few weeks later, didn't call ahead, and I got right in. They fixed my car before the long weekend and also provided some feedback and advise to keep my car running as long as I can. I've been to a few other mechanics in the neighborhood and there seems to be a lot of drama between some of them- I can do without that. I'll be back with whatever car needs I have as this place gets the job done. read more

I've worked with Tony and Chris now to change out my tires, get an oil change, and deal with some brake problems. Every single time they've been super kind to me, managed to make me laugh while stressing about my car, as far as I can tell quote very reasonable prices, and always get the work done quicker than I expect. They and their team are wonderful to work with and I trust my car completely in their hands. Just go here! You won't regret it! read more

Tony is the best! I've been bringing my cars to his garage since moving to the neighborhood in 2005. He's reliable and very ethical for a mechanic/gargage. I have an older car with 130K miles, he always addresses what needs to be fixed vs what can wait with an honestly you don't find with other mechanics. Great guy, great garage. Bring your car in to LWS, you won't be disappointed. read more

Skillful, friendly, prompt, honest - the crew at Lincoln-Wilson Automotive is all the things you never find in one place, particular for auto repair. Prices are reasonable, as well. I've been to many different auto repair shops in this part of the city, and I've settled on these guys as the very best. You won't be disappointed. read more

The shop has been quick, inexpensive, and effective both times I have gone in there to get something fixed. While my repairs were both fairly basic, I would definitely trust them with larger repairs if I need it. read more

Car Angel!!! I was in a fender bender and had horrible weeks of delay with insurance difficulty. Nino was warm, helpful, navigated insurance and even reassured me along the way. Of course, the repair was pristine and timely! Cannot recommend them enough and ask for Nino when you arrive. Great service and good human too. read more

I've been coming here for about three years, and no matter what the problem is with my little Honda, they are able to fix the problem quickly, correctly, and for a fair price. I recently brought my car in on a Friday evening after it started shaking on the highway - a repair I was sure would cost me thousands. Chris diagnosed the problem quickly and suggested a fix that cost MUCH less than I was expecting - and worked! My car was ready before noon the following day. The staff here are knowledgable and never condescending. I can't recommend this place more highly! read more

Found this through Yelp and it's our go to shop. There was a rattling sound above the driver side wheel whenever we ran over a bump. They fixed it in no time for a good price. read more

Tony is great! I had a weird warning light issue and they took a look at it for no charge. Talked me through what was wrong and what it would take to fix it in a few minutes while I waited. Will definitely be back! read more

My car had some deep scratches across all three panels of one side with some surface rust beginning to form. Gus at the collision center was up-front and transparent about the required work to fix it and gave me a competitive quote about 30% cheaper than another reputable shop I got a quote from. They were also able to get the job done in about half the time versus the other shop's estimate. The side panels look as good as new now, and the team even buffed my mirror covers which had some markings on them for free as a courtesy. Overall, I found that the team here is professional, friendly, and skilled. I'll definitely consider Lincoln Wilson again for any body work I might need in the future. read more

I have been coming to Lincoln Wilson Auto Service since 2008, so that has been a long time. I have zero knowledge in auto issues but have never been made feel as though I do not know. What I love is that is they tell you what must be done vs what can wait. They do not charge you for a diagnostic, which back in days everyone would. I have continually compared its prices to dealers and national chains and they can't be beat. I have peace of mind when I take my car in to Lincoln Wilson Auto. It's timely, it's warrantied and guaranteed work for reasonable price. If you do no have a regular mechanic, come here you will not regret it. read more
