I moved to the area a few months ago and was worried about finding a good mechanic. I went to these gentlemen based on the reviews and they didn't disappoint. They're friendly and do good work at a reasonable price, even handled a window issue I wasn't aware of free of charge. I plan to have my other vehicle serviced by them as well. If you're in the market for trustworthy mechanics give them a shot. read more

My Brother's Mechanic is a family business they are nothing but incredible and trustworthy. I recently took my car in for a second opinion and received immediate feedback saying that the car was in great shape and that I did not need to spend all this money that I was told to by another mechanic. I have been here before with an older car and they are nothing but honest to the customer. I have experienced places that charge absurd prices for even a minor fix that I could have done at home. My Brother's Mechanic is the place to take your car if you want an honest, open, and realistic value to the work that needs to be done. I encourage others to go give them a shot as they will not disappoint. read more

This is THE place to go. After having my AC repaired 3 times from 3 different Jeep dealers, we stumbled across MBM. We will never go back to the dealer again! MBM is a family-run business that actually CARES about its customers. They troubleshot the issue quickly and explained EVERY step of the process. The repair was completed on-time and way less than the dealer quoted me. These guys are amazing. read more

We have been using them for many years and they always find the best solution for the fairest price.

My car stopped accelerating this week, 5 days before Christmas. I reached out and Eric said if we got the car towed to him, he would do his best to get it looked at. He had it for 2 days and I had my car back! They communicated well and provided pictures of the issues he found. I am so happy to have found My Brother's Mechanic. I won't be using anyone else! Thanks so much for helping me out days before Christmas and so promptly. read more

I have been taking my Mini Cooper countryman to My Brothers Mechanic for about a year now. They are honest, friendly and always explain everything in detail. They have won my business for life read more

I took my car to Grease My Brothers Mechanic today, without an appointment, because my maintenance light came on unexpectedly a few days ago. I drive back and forth between the burbs and the city, so I wanted to get the problem checked out right away. Eric, the owner, was incredibly helpful and friendly. He checked out my car, and come to find out that there was no problem (phew!). He also topped off my fluids and didn't charge me anything for the time he spent diagnosing my car. When I checked in on Yelp, there was also an oil change coupon for $19.99, so I'll definitely come here again for an oil change versus spending $40 at Jiffy Lube. Thanks again, Eric! You da best! read more

Honest, quick and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this shop. Checked over my car and let me know exactly what needed to be done, which wasn't all that much. I really appreciated the good news. I'll definitely bring my car back here. read more

If you value honesty & integrity, you've come to the right mechanic! I recently encountered an issue with what I believed was a bad battery. Needless to say, a winter weather advisory was underway, with freezing conditions, and my car wouldn't start. I checked a few places online and then recalled a co-worker had mentioned his great experience with Eric at My Brother's Mechanic. Eric greeted me upon my arrival and was skeptical that it was a faulty battery since the car is fairly new. A quick diagnostics on the battery revealed it was in great shape! The culprit appeared to be a dash cam I had wired into the vehicle, draining the battery when the vehicle was off. Eric was forthright in his explanation . . . a trait that seems rare these days in the automotive industry (i.e. car dealerships). There was no pushy up-sell or an attempt to push another service. I will definitely turn to Eric and My Brother's Mechanic in the future, whenever I need work done on my vehicles - read more

I used to use a mechanic in Naperville that I loved. However, when I moved to Plainfield, I couldn't afford to drive 30+ min to North Naperville for some repairs on my vehicle. Thankfully, I found My Brother's Mechanic on Yelp and I was not disappointed. They are honest and up front about whats going on and what it will take to fix it. They even went above and beyond and helped me out with something I didn't ask for to improve my experience. I saw 0 reason to question or doubt what they say which is rare for a mechanic. Great experience and will use in the future. read more

Great overall experience. Vehicle broke down on a Saturday morning. Was able to get a tow to this shop and have repair done same day. Excellent, timely service was wonderful to not have really much down time for the car. Expected it to sit somewhere until Monday causing it to cost the repair and a day of work so we were happy that wasn't the case. This shop allowed us to supply parts too which saved some money since were able to find a cheaper part than the shop could provide. We got part from Autozone verses a certified Honda part. Only reasons this is not 5 stars... The labor charge is a bit higher than our regular mechanic but for same day service on a Saturday I wasn't totally turned off by paying a little more but don't know that I would make this my regular auto shop for planned maintenance. I will have to compare prices for thing like brakes later and see. So far so good with the repair. It's been about a week and everything is working. read more

I needed to find a shop that would tell me like it is, because I've had my share of bad moments with car repairs. I had failed my emission test and I needed repairs done. Eric was very kind and patient to tell me what I had to do to pass the emission test, what I should do, and what could wait for another time. All work was reasonably priced, used genuine Nissan parts, and was very honest with me. They totally went above and beyond for me and truly earned my business now and in the future. If you're looking for a mechanic, these guys are it! Thank you again for your service and your honest evaluation. I will return! read more

My Brother's Mechanic has become our go-to garage for repairs and maintenance. From Toyota to Acura to Mercedes to Porsche, MBM has been able to work on all of them. MBM's prices are fair, their service is excellent, their turnaround times are fantastic and their honesty is rare. We are so glad we found them! read more

These guys are fantastic! So friendly, honest, and quick! Definitely bringing all our vehicles here from now on

Absolutely fantastic place. I've taken a couple of cars here and these guys are the real deal and super honest. I've stopped going to the stealership and these guys get my business. Honest, caring, good hardworking people. read more

Moving here from Florida over 9 years ago, not having any knowledge of where to take our cars for service, we found only horrible mechanics. I stumbled upon "Greasemonkies" on google and only read great reviews. We have been loyal customers of the now, My Brother's Mechanic, for years. We don't trust anyone else with our cars. My parents moved up here from Florida and they are now customers of this business. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for honesty and great work! read more

Eric and Robert were fantastic! They recommended a great towing company (Classic Towing) and took a look at my car right away. It turned out that the problem had to be managed by the dealer. They gave me solid advice, and were very considerate. Eric managed a tow to the dealer and followed up with me personally. I will definitely bring my car to them in future for regular repairs. Thanks guys! read more

I can't tell you how nice it is to know an honest mechanic!! Eric is wonderful to work with too.

My car broke down a few miles from this shop. I'm not from around here and when I got some quotes to tow my car home to my mechanic they were all above $400 for a one way trip. I decided to look up some mechanic shops around here to see if anybody would be able to look at my car and tell me what was wrong before I decided to tow it home. I called and spot with Eric, he stated to bring it over and he would gladly look at it. I told him I would get a tow truck to bring it over. About 45 minutes went by and Eric called me back to check on me and make sure I was ok. THIS BLEW ME AWAY. I told him the truck is almost here and I'd be there shortly. When I got there I was greeted and he explained the process of analyzing what was wrong and that there would be no charge unless it had to be more than just hooking up his computer to my car computer. He was up front about pricing and a time line of a call the next day. The next day was a Thursday and he called hours before the expect time to let me know what was wrong. He had a detailed explanation and price to repair my car. I felt very at ease throughout this process and never felt pressured to utilize him or his shop. I agreed to have the work done with him. He had my car up and running by Friday afternoon and even kept it till Saturday morning when I could pick it up. There was no extra fees added when I showed up. I've been driving my car for 2 plus weeks now and it runs great! I highly recommend them and their service. If I ever have an issue while I'm working in this area they're my go to mechanic!! read more

Just received a full service oil change this afternoon. The service was quick and price was reasonable. The mechanic was very friendly and accomodating. I really appreciate a family-owned business. Will be returning in the future. read more

The guys are very friendly and do a great job and they make sure you are aware of the issue and what they are doing to your car, these guys are really good.. read more

Good enough for small jobs, but I would stick to more established providers for issues that are more difficult to diagnose or require specialized expertise. The service is mostly OK, but I've had occasional communication challenges with the owners. read more

Hard to find, small space, but man do they do a good job, and for a great price! I got a quote from Tuffy to do my brakes and Grease Monkies came in $100 under their price, and I didnt have to put up with all the other BS that they try to get you to get done while they have your car held hostage on a lift. I hate that !! I'm pretty sure you do too.... Plus I also like money a lot, and by saving $100, these guys earned my business for the next time... read more

Me and the wife are expecting our first child and buying a new car is out of the question. So we try to get as much mileage as we can from our older vehicle. Recently the air bag light came on and we we're worried that it would cost an arm. I looked up local shops and My Brother's Mechanic came up. Chris was super friendly, great at explaining highly technical issues to non-tech dummies like myself, performed excellent work for a very fair price. They are now my family's mechanic and should be yours as well. read more

My Brother's Mechanic - Who's a good doggy? Also had great company during my brief visit. - Auto Repair Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

Very knowledgeable,courteous, and through. Extremely trustworthy. I would definitely recommend.

I made an appointment for a quote on spark plug replacement. In addition to the estimate I asked to check for a noise in the suspension. I met Eric at my scheduled appointment time and he put my car on the lift to evaluate the chassis. He had me take a look with him to talk through his "diagnosis" and concluded everything was fine. After providing the estimate for spark plugs, I asked what I owed for the inspection. Eric said there is no charge. My Toyota dealer I normally visit would have charged me at least $60 for a diagnostic fee. I highly recommend Grease Monkies for their professionalism and approach to solving owners' concerns. I will be back to Grease Monkies for future work and maintenance on my Toyota. read more

5 star excellent service! Friendly, knowledge staff who don't believe in overcharging you for parts or taking advantage. They give you fair, repair advice with no pressure. I will continue to refer everyone here! I have had my brakes done here and had belts replaced. Eric, the mechanic, took the time to give a full safety inspection and was honest on what needed to be worked on right away or what could wait. read more

Stopped in for the first time ever today for a quick oil change. I was really surprised at how friendly they were and how genuinely nice the staff was. They were very quick with the oil change and even added air to my truck tires for no additional cost. The only downside to this place is that is a little hard to find as it's not on a main street, but the couple extra minutes to find this place was worth it. Being my first time there, I asked them what services they offer and it seems they do most any automotive repair. I plan on going back! read more

These guys are great. We needed a number of things done to our Buick Enclave, shocks, struts, brakes. From a cost standpoint the Grease Monkies gave us a lot of options on how we could handle it. They did top notch work, did not try to sell us work we didn't need, and were very affordable. read more

Was looking for a mechanic in the Plainfield area. I was referred to Grease Monkies by a coworker. Tire arm broke in my 2001 Chrysler Concorde. Mechanic gave us options and advice with no pressure. Talked you through the repairs to be done and when the job was completed. My car was fixed very quickly and at a very fair price. Would highly recommend Grease Monkies ! read more

Finally a car repair shop we have no doubts about giving future business. My fiancée was very impressed with the explanation of the issue and the reasonable cost. My car was cutting out on me at stops. Eric got our car in same day and fixed same day, even on a busy Friday. These guys love what they do and it shows in their work and how they present to the customer. Forthright and honest young men. We'll be back!!!!! read more

The two brothers here are really friendly, and knowledgeable! I have been here twice since moving to the area to get an oil change! It's a hidden gem in a little commercial business district. So far seems like your down to earth honest reliable mechanic shop, not the money grubbing trying to tell you 1000s things they can fix that are not wrong lol. [mind you this is solely based on reviewing them from an oil change standpoint] I only take down one star because it's a little missleading when their personal yelp page that they run has coupons for discounted oil change, and when you arrive they say that's not active and that's from two years ago, so just an FYI if you're viewing their yelp the coupon is not available IRL.. I only find this weird because they say it's so old and they are unaware it's on their page yet company has uploaded recent pics of shop in past two years, BUT mind you owner still says coupon is from 2years ago, and he had no idea it's still on Yelp.. Which idk how he could miss when uploading pics to the company Yelp page lol, but since they seem reliable and didn't try to sell me 100 things I will use them as me new go to mechanic should issues arise with my car. :) read more

Second visit was just as pleasant as first, other than they had moved to the other side of the building and I was just lucky to stumble on them. Very honest, sincere, and fair. Seem to also just really love cars. Great qualities in a mechanic. read more

These guys are wonderful to work with - have taken both my fuel saver Mazda 3 in, and my 4x4 Chevy Trailblazer in for oil changes & inspections. Very upfront, honest, and informational. Couldn't ask for anything more from a mechanic. read more

Grease Monkies is the best. Eric (and his brother) are knowledgeable, friendly, honest and do good work. They've gained my trust and I'll be going back for as long as I can. read more
