Wow. New to the area and ended up with a nail in one of my tires. Empire was very close to my place…read moreso I figured I'd give them a try. Checked their hours, found out they opened at seven on Saturday, so I got there a bit before. At seven on the dot, somebody showed up to open. I waited a few minutes to let the guy get set up, turn on the lights etc., before heading inside at about seven fifteen. I was greeted, and when I explained I needed a repair, the man at the counter let me know that the techs didn't arrive until eight. I kind of chuckled and said, "Well good for them!" So I settled into that waiting area. Between the TV, magazines and wi-fi I knew I could stay entertained, and honestly, without an appointment, I was just happy someone was willing to help. I was the only customer in the place, and didn't pay much attention when the counter guy left and went into the shop. There was the sound of activity, and I heard an air wrench, and didn't think much about it. Twenty minutes later, the guy who I found out was named Brian, who I figured for the boss, and who was dressed pretty nicely, came back to the counter and said, "Okay, you are all set ." "What do you mean?" "I took care of it." "Took care of it? You didn't have to do that! I was fine with waiting." "Nah, I wasn't going to make you wait for that." So the boss, who wasn't really dressed to be working in the shop to begin with, took it upon himself to repair my tire so I wouldn't have to wait, and in his mind, be inconvenienced. And it wasn't a big ticket God knows, just a repair. Well that speaks volumes to me about how Brian runs that business, and how he treats customers. It was my first time in there and that is how I was treated! So happy with the service and the ease of getting my tire repaired. And happy to have a tire and repair facility that I know will take care of me when I need something. Would give more stars if I could!

We brought our vehicle in for a control arm repair and alignment and agreed on a total price…read more During the process, there was a serious lack of communication and professionalism. At one point, our vehicle was taken off-site without our knowledge or permission and was in the owner's possession for approximately four hours. (Since 3:22pm) During that time, it was driven to another town and made multiple stops, including his second business (a spa), his home, and other locations. We were never informed that our vehicle would be leaving the shop at all. We understand short test drives are normal, but extended off-site use like this without communication is not appropriate. Using a customer's vehicle in this way also raises liability concerns and is not something we were comfortable with. We only became aware of this because we were receiving alerts from the vehicle's tracking. After attempting to call and getting no answer, we became concerned and drove out to locate the car ourselves.(7pm) When we arrived, we found the owner at his other business (a spa), where he had clearly been for some time, while our vehicle remained there off-site. We had to confront him there in person. During that conversation, we were told the alignment was not finished and still needed to be "fine-tuned," and that he planned to take the vehicle to his home later that night to work on it in his "nicer garage" and have it ready by morning. None of this had been communicated beforehand. We then had him return the vehicle to his shop in Elwood and followed him back. Once we arrived, he stated the vehicle was "driving good" and finished, directly contradicting what we had just been told minutes earlier.(8pm) Morning We asked for documentation or a printout of the alignment (standard practice), but none was provided. After picking up the vehicle, it was clear something was not right. The steering wheel was off-center (tilted to the right while driving straight), and when centered, the car pulled to the left. There was also noticeable vibration, and the lane assist system struggled to keep the vehicle centered something that did not occur prior to the repair. When we raised concerns, we were told that getting the vehicle aligned elsewhere would be a waste of money and that this is how he aligns vehicles. This was not accurate for a newer vehicle like ours. We took the vehicle to another shop for inspection. They confirmed the alignment was off and had to readjust the components that were worked on, as well as perform a proper 4-wheel alignment to correct the issue. We also noticed fresh oil residue on the front of the vehicle and on the plastic after pickup, despite no work being requested involving the engine. This was never mentioned to us and very concerning. It was also concerning that the vehicle was driven a significant distance while the alignment was known to be incomplete, which can cause additional wear and safety issues. Modern vehicles, especially newer models like ours, require a precise 4-wheel alignment using proper equipment. These systems are tied to steering sensors and driver-assist features and cannot be accurately "fine-tuned" by feel alone. If the proper equipment was not available, that should have been communicated. We would have had no issue taking the vehicle elsewhere or having it sent to a proper alignment shop. We were willing to pay for the repair itself and ultimately reached a reduced agreement, but the lack of communication, inconsistent explanations, and incomplete alignment left us without confidence in the work. We dropped the vehicle off on March 16 and did not recover it until March 20. Had it inspected by an alignment shop on March 21. This was a very disappointing experience. We had hoped to support a local small business and continue bringing our vehicles here, but unfortunately this situation did not build that level of trust. I would strongly recommend clear communication, proper documentation, and using appropriate equipment especially when working on newer vehicles.

My rear bumper itself was not damaged but the paint was peeling off and the bottom plastic-like part had a big crack in it. I dropped it off with Dan at Dan's Auto Body shop in Mokena off 191st. Because the bumper wasn't damaged he was able to keep it but repaint it. I literally just need to say wow! It looks like brand new. He did an excellent job repainting it. I was in awe. He also, installed the new black molded plastic piece at the bottom. His work is exceptional and also affordable. I was being charge 5x as much. Every place (3 in all) that I went to all claimed I had to have a new bumper and there was nothing wrong with my bumper at all. When Dan looked at my car and under the bumper he said we don't have to replace it, it is in good shape. I can just repaint it. His turn around time was not super long like other places were going to be too. If someone is looking for excellent work with a reliable and honest owner!
