This place goes over and above to make you happy with their work and stand behind their work 100% without fail. The owner is incredibly nice and totally real. He doesn't bull#*%t you and tells it like it is. No matter even if it's cheaper to go somewhere else or work he just can't do. Love the straight up approach. So refreshing when it comes to car repair places. Kudos to Ogden car care and Transmission! read more

Helped out in a pinch and went above and beyond to make sure everything got fixed (and then some!) at a reasonable rate. I don't know anything about cars so really felt comfortable and confident in getting quality service and nothing unneeded. read more

Also known as Ogden Car Care and Transmission. I had some work done at another garage and was pleased. Asked for a quote for brakes and was given what I thought was a really high price. Called Ogden Car Care to get a second quote. They were $110 cheaper. We are trading in the truck this year so was more concerned with price. We took the truck in to get serviced and I told them to change the plugs while they were at it. About an hour later I get a call from the owner. He told me that it would cost over $100 to change the plugs (they are hard to get to) and that it wouldn't be worth it if I were going to be trading the truck in in the next few months. I'm thinking who does that? Telling a customer not to do something because it's not worth it. Most garages would have done that and found something else to charge me for. The work was done in the time they had told me and done right. Brakes work fine and I am really pleased with the professional service and that they actually looked out for me. 5 Stars and you have my business and personal car work from here on out. read more

Ogden Car Care and Transmissions - Auto Repair Near Me - Brookfield, Illinois

Sent Mike a message this morning about my car. He got to me right away (shop wasn't even open). Dropped the car off hoping for the best but like always expecting the worst. He called an hour later with the best unexpected news. Car was leaking oil from the oil filter. Didn't try to sell me anything that I didn't need. Fixed the problem with the car. Went above and beyond and fixed my bumper as well (screws came off from the sides) He's my go to shop now for all my cars. Definitely recommend his shop. Thanks a lot Mike. read more

Mike was wonderful! My 07 Santa Fe transmission went out and I brought it here. He was able to find all of the parts for it even though they didn't make them anymore. He also kept and open line of communication with me during the whole process. Price was very reasonable! Like it tell my doctor, You did a great job but hope I don't have to see you again! Lol read more

I can't say enough good things. Mike was extremely helpful, kind, and informative. He took time to educate me about issues with my car's transmission and next steps I should take. I called Mike the next day, and he gave me additional advice. I would recommend to anyone I know because of his dedication to clients, knowledge about cars, and compassion. Thank you so much. read more

I have been going to this shop for 7 years. Mike is wonderful and helpful. He is always pleasant and honest.

The customer service is amazing and the quality of work is phenomenal. They always go above and beyond. read more

I was experiencing driving issues that, to me, seemed transmission related. I called on a Saturday, and although they weren't open (by appointment on Saturdays) Mike still answered the call and talked to me for about 30 min while I rambled about what was going on. He tells me to bring it in first thing Monday and they'll run diagnostics. Drop it off at 8 AM Monday, and around 10:30-11 AM Mike calls me to tell me the synopsis. It's not the transmission, it's a cylinder misfire. He then recommends me to two gentlemen at a shop in La Grange that CAN help me with what's going on. When I pick up my car to take it to his recommended shop, he says I owe him nothing. THIS IS HOW MECHANICS SHOULD BE!!! Mike is the gold standard. While I am thankful I didn't have a transmission issue, I am a little sad I didn't get to give him my business, because I gladly would have, and most certainly would recommend him to anyone else! read more

New to Brookfield, wasn't sure where to go...checked out Yelp and went to Mike at Ogden Auto to get my shocks/struts replaced. He explained the process and gave me the quote, which was definitely fair. My car is a 2002 Honda Civic, so he didn't go with the most expensive shocks out there; which many places seem to only use "premier" parts, making it pricier. I was also shown the parts that were replaced afterward; he didn't nickel and dime me...Mike is on the level. I got a very fair deal plus the car runs like new. Everyone in the shop is capable, friendly and I will definitely be back! Highly recommend. (I joined Yelp in order to write this review!) read more

Had a great experience with fantastic customer service. Mike is top notch and made me feel like I was his #1 customer on the phone before I even dropped my car off. Mike gave me 3 options for the transmission repair for my 2002 Honda Accord 1. Replace the transmission which is the most expensive option, 2. Rebuild it which was the cheaper option or 3. Do nothing and buy a new/used car. Given the cost of rebuild vs. actual value of the car, Mike advised that it's not worth repairing and go with option 3. He even gave me his personal cellphone and told me to call him if I had any questions or needed advice while I'm car shopping. I will definitely come back if I am in need of any future repairs and will recommend Mike to friends and family. Very personable and takes the time to explain things to you. Thanks Mike for the great customer service! read more

Was given really bad advise.I asked if My car was worth the money before he "rebuilt" my transmission.My check engine light was on.He said yes.I spent 1900 to fix my car.Next day the engine light was on again. I ended up junking the car and buying a new one. Sorry I ever went here. read more

Mike was extraordinarily helpful in working with my terrible warranty company that made the service station go above and beyond in demonstrating the problem with my car. The warranty company was giving me the runaround, but Mike was a true professional in providing the information needed. It took a lot of his time and I greatly appreciated it. read more

Mike of Ogden Car Care has always been there for me. He is so knowledgeable on vehicles and always a pleasure to deal with. I've been a customer for years even when the issues haven't been transmission related. He's always given me an honest answer and good price. There have been several times that I've called him for advice or asked him to review something and he's been quite nice with a great sense of humor. It is so refreshing today to find a place that one can be comfortable with knowing that you're not being taken advantage of. I highly recommend this company whose staff is wonderful to deal with. read more

Mike was friendly and helpful, and gave us a great deal. When he couldn't get the work done in one day, he comp'ed us the cost of a rental car to get us through. He also pointed out that one of the error message that we were getting was covered under the Federal Emissions Act and that it would be free to get it fixed at the dealer--he could have talked me into paying him to fix it and instead he let us know where we could get it for free!! They say "honest mechanic" is an oxymoron--but Mike proved "them" wrong today. read more
