Andy Rizzo and the entire My Mechanic Team helped me determine the issues with my 16 year old car. They were honest and they prioritized the needed repairs for my aging vehicle. This allowed me to spread out the repairs and keep it on the road longer without breaking the bank. If you haven't been to My Mechanic yet, you should bring your vehicle there soon. read more

First ever time taking my car to get worked on they disconnected my horn and left rags in the hood

I had a really good experience here. I just moved to town and didn't know who to take my car to when the engine light came on unexpectedly. I found this place reading reviews, and I tell you they are all accurate. These people are really friendly, cooperative, they gave me good advice, and were very trustworthy. I will definitely continue to bring my car here and would encourage you to do the same! They also had a service to pick up the car without personal contact. read more

I have been going to Mike for 10 years now. I started out with my 78 Caprice, and am now driving a lemon of a focus that they keep running for me. I love them. Mike and Alex are people I can actually TRUST no matter what. My boyfriend recently started going to them with his Camry, at my insistence, and was thrilled. He was dicked around by another shop in the past and was very cautious to believe me that they are very trustworthy and reasonable, but now he believes me. I love these guys. I can not say enough good things about them. read more

As usual, Mike's team did a great job with our latest vehicle. They are very thorough, efficient, friendly, and accommodating. We will always bring our cars to them and are very happy to have such great business in town! read more

If you want good, fair prices and an HONEST mechanic, go to My Mechanic in Elmhurst. Mike the owner is great and goes above and beyond to help his customers. They diagnose the problem and fix it quickly as well. My Mechanic is the only place I trust to fix our cars, and I will never go anywhere else. read more

This place is great!! Friendly staff, mailed reminders, and trustworthy. My entire family brings their cars here. I even bring my car here for oil changes because I've been burned at Jiffy Lube a few times. Any car need I consult My Mechanic. They even tell me which issues I have to get fixed immediately and which ones I can push off for several months. I recently got my brakes and shocks fixed (and I had pushed these off several months). I couldn't be happier with My Mechanic! read more

I can honestly say that the crew at My Mechanic are the most customer friendly, honest and reliable group in the auto repair business your likely to ever find. As a former mechanic and a perfectionist I can attest to their competency and attention to detail. As I have gotten older there has been less and less work I can do on my own vehicles, so I set out to find a good shop for myself and my family. It took years to find a shop with a complement of competent mechanics and a good customer service philosophy. Mike and his group will absolutely raise the bar on your car repair experience. read more

ZERO STARS! This place has gone down hill in the last few years. The work has been crap and I've had to bring my car back to get it done right once and brought my car to another shop the second time. I brought my car home last time and I got a total flat tire the next day which cost me a hundred bucks for the new tire on top of the ridiculous high prices charged for the crappy work. What I find disgusting is they use old used car parts that are reconstructed and they charge you for new part prices!!! That is just sleezy. This place is way expensive for not quality work anymore. Also, I went here for years and even sent people to him, After making thousands of dollars off my family and who knows how much from the people I sent over....there has never been a this oil change is on us. Thanks for being a good customer. All he cares about is the money and he over charges for bad parts and bad mechanic work. It used to be a good place when Mike actually did the work. There are plenty of other places that do better work at fairer prices that actually appreciate your business and have good customer service. Honestly, I think the teenager next door could do better work on my car. Mike has over extended himself so prices are crazy high and he has hired just bad mechanics. Don't waste your hard earned money. Used to be good but not anymore!!! read more

I had a stubborn license plate that the screws were rusted on. I am new to the state and needed to change the plates asap. Mike the owner, did not let me wait to schedule an appointment but instead agreed to staying late and kept the shop open so that I could come to his shop after work. Mike got the job done and I am very appreciative. read more

When our family mechanic of 20 years closed up shop and retired to Las Vegas, we had to find another mechanic to keep our fleet of almost junkers running. This place has been really good to us so far (we have only gone a few times in the last 4 months). He run tests for us for free (probably because he knows we will be good business) and explains cheaper solutions for problems before going in and doing something that costs $600. Plus, he always offers you the doughnuts that are laying around. read more

I appreciate the great customer service at My Mechanic. Andy was patient with explanations and made me feel confident in the evaluation of my car and recommendations for service. read more

I feel very unsettled about the work that I had done at my mechanic, I brought my 2006 Chevy trailblazer in for a front brake job and to diagnose why my check engine light was on. I got a quote back for $950 to fix my front brakes, the mechanic told me that my calipers were sticking and that they would have to be replaced? I was going to bite the bullet and have them fixed anyways giving them the benefit of the doubt. Until I received a quote for $4500 on my check engine light issue? They told me that my timing chain had slipped and that it would be 18 hours of labor to fix that? Along with about 30 other things? That being said my 2006 vehicle is not worth that much money. So now I was thinking that I was going to have to basically scrap my truck and buy new one! Thank God I got a second opinion I had my rotors and pads changed and two new front tires put on my truck for $600 at my normal mechanic shop he also diagnosed my vehicle and told me that if my timing chain had slipped my truck would be running rough, it's actually purring like a kitten. So basically I paid $155 for an oil change and for them to tell me that my truck is garbage. I would just be very Cautious when you bring your vehicle to a mechanic shop that you do not know and trust? I'm not interested in bashing this mechanic shop I'm sure they do somethings fine but it just was not for me? read more

We've been taking our car to My Mechanic for 7 or 8 years. Mike, the owner, is honest and helpful, and does the work at a fair price. We had an old Honda Accord that he kept in great condition, until it just wasn't worth putting any more money into. He gently suggested that it might be time to put the car to rest, and that we did. read more

Very good, very honest mechanic. always do great work at a fair price. Staff is always very professional and helpful.

Now I don't know if Mike (my Mechanic owner) moved but he was on Sunnyside in Brookfield. When I moved here 11 years ago, I no longer had my family mechanic and was always weary of sending my car to a stranger. Mike always offers good advice and fair prices. I would recommend anyone to go in for services. read more

This was my first visit and based on positive reviews I thought I would give them a try. The shop is clean and they were pretty busy but they took my son's car in on the same day. The first thing they do is a thorough inspection which is simply to advise you what components are showing wear and was not a hard sell. They diagnosed the problem on my son's car, took it for a test drive and were unable to duplicate the noise that the left rear brake had been making. They did say that they blew out some debris through the vents in the drum, which may have solved the problem. I took it for a long test drive and was unable to duplicate the problem as well. Because they didn't pull the brake drum off and the inspection was complimentary, they refused payment for the assessment which accounted for several hours of work. The front desk person was friendly and capable and Andy was great. I will definitely be heading back to MyMechanic for routine or non-routine repairs in the future. read more

I had an issue with my transmission. They sent it to a transmission repair shop, however I learned that I needed to get it to a dealership in order to receive a discount on repairs. When I called to let them know I needed to transfer the vehicle they didn't charge me a cent for the time they spent on the car which included a long drive to the transmission shop since the car wouldn't go over 20 miles an hour. I've been there several times and have never had a bad experience. Thanks My Mechanic! read more

First of all, I never leave reviews, but this place was so great I just had to take the time. I live in Des Moines, IA but have to come in to Oak Brook every so often for work. After spending all day in a work meeting, my coworker and I are in the car about to make the 5 hour drive back home when I hit a pothole. I could tell the tire was damaged so we decide that it's best to get it checked out before heading out. At this point it's almost 5:00 and I was worried about finding a place that was open. My Mechanic showed up as the closest place so we head that way. We walk in a half hour before close and I explained our situation. I knew coming in so close to closing was a pain and they were obviously busy. But the guy behind the counter said they would see what they could do. Turned out that the tire was unsalvageable and since it was so late it looked like we would be spending another night in town before we could get it fixed. Rather than trying to sell me a new tire themselves, they recommended a place that was nearby that would probably be faster. They also took the time to show me exactly how my tire was damaged and put on my spare, all without charge. These guys are the real deal: honest, polite, and great customer service! read more

Great experience. Front office employees were friendly and helpful. Our mechanic, Andy Rizzo was outstanding. Explained issues very clearly and was great with updates and explanations of work needed. When repairs were complete, Andy showed me parts replaced to give me assurance that work was complete. read more

I took my car in yesterday to get some lights replaced. I asked for Mike, the owner, and Alex was very degrading to me and was kind of an ass. He told me that "I don't have to ask for Mike we are all a team". I belong to a family that has brought our four cars to My Mechanic for years to get maintenance and was not happy with the way Alex treated me. The work they do is great but if you have someone like Alex helping customers and taking to women in a degrading way, that's not a way to do business. If a customer asks to see the owner, regardless of what an employee things, they should alert the owner and ask if they can help me while I wait for the owner to come and speak to me instead of telling me not to ask for the owner. read more

My husbands family had gone there for years without a problem. When his parents moved and he took the truck in they called and told him his brake lines were about to snap and they needed to be replaced. At a very expensive price we paid for this service. After we got the truck home it was leaking brake fluid, they never properly attached the brake lines and then when we took it back they wanted to charge us to fix the problem. The second issue of the day was that my father is a mechanic who does not work in the private sector, but for a village. He was changing my brakes this weekend or he would have changed my husbands. When we told him what they changed the brake lines he blew a gasket and went over there, because we had been ripped off. The brake lines where fine they had been replaced a year ago. Needless to say we have stopped going there for anything because we can no longer trust if the repair is needed or will be done properly. read more

I know cars and I work on my own cars as much as I can. I enjoy it and I have done it for 30 years. So I know mechanics and I know what to look for in a knowledgeable and flexible shop. I took my very specialized car to them recently for work I cannot do, an alignment. Alignments are easy with the right equipment and they have that. Alignments are also tricky to get right, and they got it right. I am very pleased. I was also pleased that they took the time to get to know me and took the time to listen to my peculiar requests. I'm impressed and will start taking my regular cars to them as well. read more

I brought in my 2001 Honda Civic to see why "check engine" was on. They charged a little over $100 for the diagnostic. Fine. It took them an hr, so they charged me for an hr. (although my car was out of use for the whole day) I could not afford the repair, so I went to Auto Zone. They tested it with their electronic tester FOR FREE and gave me the SAME printed results in less than 10 min. I went back to My Mechanic and asked for an explanation. The owner explained to me that his testing method was much more involved and accurate.... but same results were free at Auto Zone. Rip off!! read more

I searched for good mechanic for years and I finally found one in my backyard. I live in Elmhurst and these guys are honest, thorough and really great with the maintenance of my car. I have a 2006 Lexus and they have been doing a great job maintaining my car at a reasonable rate for the services. read more

I have been taking my car to Mike and his staff at My Mechanic for over 10 years (the business was previously located in Brookfield IL before moving to its current location). Mike and his staff are very sharp and competent, but above all Mike is the most honest person I have ever known. I trust his opinion, guidance, and workmanship completely. I recommend his service without hesitation. He provides prompt personal service and is passionate about providing quality service at an affordable price. Bottom line..My Mechanic is the best....bar none! read more

Mymechanic Mike was the best. You will not be intimidated that he will talk you into unnecessary fixes. He would tell you honestly what the car needs. He will give you an honest to goodness quote. Had my 60000 miles maintenance done, everything perfect at a reasonable rate and reliable and gets it done on time. Customer service was excellent. Great and honest mechanic. Thanks mike! Too bad i relocated back to my home state. read more
