Anyway overlooked that and brought my cylinder heads in for decking and valve job, $1,200 was fine, I asked Tom how much would it cost to install the cams and check follower clearances, he told me "couple hundred bucks" I dropped the cams, followers and caps off, carefully installed them into their original spots to make sure everything was correct, when I went back to pick up the heads "couple hundred bucks" turned into $800, the cams needed polishing so I said whatever and I paid the money. Went back home and a few days later I installed the heads, something told me to check the clearances just to make sure, this is a performance motor and I put a whole lotta money into it. I first realized that none of the cap bolts were torqued, they were a little more than hand tight, almost every valve on the cylinder heads were out of spec, couple thousandths too tight on the exhaust cams, couple thousandths too loose on the intake cams, before I did any of this I texted Tom to ask how the clearance check was done and where did they set the clearances, he never responded, I texted him several times after that with no response, called the shop several times on different days, no answer. Wow, that's beyond evil, stay far away from this place, I was planning to bring my 5.0 motor in later this summer but I'll never go anywhere near that place, whatever happened to the honest accountable guys that used to run these businesses?

I recently purchased a 2007 Saturn Sky from Mr. Fabian and Route 41 Budget Auto…read more Mr. Fabian was incredibly transparent with the sale of the car as well as the condition of the car. Mr. Fabian took videos of the car while he was driving it as well as taking numerous photos of the car! Why? Because I live in Las Vegas and Route 41 is in Illinois. Mr. Fabian has contacted me a few times as well to make sure that the car is running efficiently, and he even gave me a rundown on the issues that they repaired before putting the car on the market. 100% Excellent Service, trustworthy, reliable, friendly, transparent, and I thought a fair deal on the car. Mr. Fabian treated me like I was a friend and he wanted me to get the car that was right for me!

To anyone looking to buy a good or better than good used car in great condition both inside and out…read morewith relatively low mileage (depending on the year of the car), Route 41 Auto is the place to go. This is a small dealership, family owned ... not a fancy show room, no pushy sales people just nice friendly honest people like Peter and the owner Fabian. They have a broad selection of very good to excellent quality condition used cars. I have driven south, north and west of Chicago as far as 50 miles to look at cars I was interested in. I was disappointed when many a car did not match the photographs that were posted. I found my Honda CRV through browsing CarGurus which directed me to Route 41 Budget Auto. The photos of the car, over 30+ were beautiful, pristine, spic and span clean, inside and out, it looked like a brand new car! I immediately called to check availability and drove out to look at it. I went with a friend we drove around the lot checking out several cars and were very impressed at how impeccably well maintained, detailed, taken care of and presented these cars were! I took the car out for a long test drive. Came back and put a deposit down to buy. I came back the next day to finalize the deal. Fabian was great, patient and answered a lot of my questions. He told me the maintenance that was done before posting the car for sale and went out of his way to help me with some minor concerns. I was happy that there was no corrosion or rust deterioration. He shared that he likes to get a lot of his vehicles from southern states as they are not damaged by snow and salt due to the harsh winters we have in Chicago. He also has a high standard in his check list in what he wants and does not want when buying his vehicles. I brought the car I bought to my mechanic to check everything out and test drive it. He called me to come get it and said... "I got a gem of a car inside and out, there is nothing that needs attention right now and she drives beautifully." To anyone reading this ... if you are looking to buy a good sound reliable used car... Route 41 Budget Auto is the place to go and Fabian is the guy to talk to! He's the real deal, friendly, honest, genuine and just a really nice guy! You can be assured that you are getting a good reliable car. Thank you Fabian! Kathy M.

I knew something was wrong, but not being an auto tech, I only had a guess. I interacted with Nic and Jason. They took all the info I gave them. Nic let me drive myself home in my car, while he listened and did a pre-diagnostic. Once home, an hour or so later, Jason called me and told me exactly the problems with my exhaust- namely the muffler, intermediate pipe, and hardware- and gave me a quote that was well within the price range for such work for our area. I okayed the work. A few hours later, Jason came to pick me up to pay my tab. MY CAR WAS SO QUIET! Jason and Nic were fabulous with me, courtesy all the way, felt like a visiting monarch. Should I not have decided to be driven home, I would have been accommodated in SDR's confines, with free coffee and water. The cars displayed are interesting, to say the least.
