Called to explain the issue and then again when the car was ready. Evaluated the issue in the morning, had it narrowed down by lunch, and had the new part installed and tested by the afternoon (same day). Other garages seem to work on the theory that they will get your car, when they get to it. That wasn't my experience at all with Papa's garage.

They let my car sit before speaking to the warranty company. The transmission got shipped to the auto shop. June 6, but I didn't receive my car back until six weeks after !!!!

I had to take my car way out to the other autoshop in Belvedere just to get that fixed. This place is a big joke from the management on now. I wouldn't. recommend this place to a dog !!

(Holy cow, I just realized that I've had a draft of this review sitting unfinished for over 2.5…read moreyears. I'm a terrible Yelper. Anyway, better late than never...) So after an unfortunate meeting with a large piece of metal on a rural road, I rolled my poor Nissan Sentra over to the only auto repair place in Freeport that I knew about (thanks to its distinction as the "best repair shop in town," according to a local newspaper survey). Even though I hobbled in just minutes before closing time, they took their time to check out the damage and then gave me a quick assessment of the situation (which ended up with a gathering of employees staring at the underside of my car in amazement that something could have done so much destruction without resulting in a complete breakdown (or an explosion (seriously))). Ultimately, my auto was toast, and it couldn't be put back on the road without significant work. Dave, the owner, stuck around to help me figure out a rental car, and then actually offered to drop me off on his way home! I don't want to make it sound like this should be expected as standard practice, but this level of customer service -- even in a rare exceptional situation -- is pretty much unheard of. All in all, the work that they did was perfect, they went the extra mile personally and professionally, and I'm still happily chugging along 60,000-or-so miles later. I'm going to need some more work done again soon, and it's too bad that I wasn't able to take the Auto Repair Specialists with me when I moved back to the Chicago burbs.

I try to go in there and have a nice talk with him and go about it a different way, but it was clear he didn't care about me as a customer at all in the years that I've been going to that place, getting my car fixed he just kept responding by saying I got your car started didnt I? He didn't care what I had to go through or my car broke down just a few weeks after I paid him 2700$ to fix it he didn't see anything wrong with what he did and I hope this doesn't happen to anybody else
