Was referred to Chicago Auto Center from a friend, and now I know why. Was having problems with my car and dropped it off. Dimitri called me and told me what the problem was and how much it would cost and fixed the problem. Was able to pick up the car same day and haven't had a problem since. I have brought my other car there as well. With the quality of work they perform and the courtesy I received from Dimitri this is the only place I take my cars to have serviced any more.

Writing this review after my VW Golf R's 2nd trip to Chicago Auto Center. The first time my car visited the shop earlier this year was due to a bad repair from a different speed shop in the area. With that in mind, I was a bit hesitant to bring my car to another shop. Demetri at Chicago Auto Center came highly recommended from one of my co-workers and after my experiences there I can see why.

My car came in with loose motor mounts, an oil leak and an unusual intermittent whining noise. Demetri not only fixed all of the concerns I had with the car but found additional major damage caused by the bad repair that if not caught early would have meant a destroyed engine. In addition, Demetri worked with the other speed shop on my behalf to have them help cover the repairs. Meanwhile, the entire time my car was at Chicago Auto Center I received almost daily updates including photos and videos.

Since then, my car has returned for general maintenance items and repairs where I've experienced the same level of service as my frist visit. Overall, affordable prices, great communication and excellent service. Would highly recommend!

This is the second time I've taken one of my cars to C.A.C and I can't say enough about how happy I've been with my experience. D's knowledge about seemingly every brand, platform and issue should give confidence to anyone considering taking their car here for any issue. HIGHLY recommend! Services: Electrical repair, Wheel alignment

We brought our 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Chicago Auto Center after a terrible and untrustworthy experience at the dealership. We were told that the full 4wd system needed to be replaced and would cost upwards of $6,000 even though a small part was found to be faulty (available to purchase online for around $250-300). We came to Demetri at Chicago Auto Center for an honest diagnosis and repair on our vehicle and I am so glad that we did.

He was able to replace the faulty part with confidence that this should fix our issue. He returned our car to us the next day and their pricing was super reasonable and fair. I am so happy that we decided to bring our Jeep to them and will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an honest car repair service. Thank you Chicago Auto Center! We are customers from their Chicago, West Loop location and will definitely travel back to Schaumburg for future services.

I have always been a "fix it myself" kind of guy, but the work that I needed done on my F250 truck was over my head, and really complicated. Chicago Auto Center has such a robust knowledge base about so many vehicles, that they were able to offer very creative, efficient, and cost effective solutions for my repairs. The value is unbelievable. The repairs would have cost double elsewhere, and quadruple at the dealer. I will absolutely be back in the future. Completely earned my trust. Thank you!

If you're looking for an auto shop and mechanic you can trust, not only to do the job right, but to give your an honest assessment of the issue and resolve the issue at a fair price the first time (w/o adding in additional services to unrelated "Issues" that sometimes seem to pop up at dealerships, and other shops), then look no further! Demetri at Chicago Auto is the most honest, fair prices and professional mechanic I've ever been to.

I've experienced all the bad (high prices, "Mysterious" additional costs/services, etc). When I take my Escalade to Demetri, I know it'll be done right, it'll be done quickly, and I'll pay a fair price for A+ service. I wouldn't take my cars anywhere else, and recommend that you consider the same!

I had an electrical issue with my Range Rover. It would come and go on it's own so it was hard to figure out the problem. Demetri was able to find the solution and everything is working perfect. I'm very happy with the communication. I will recommend Chicago Auto Center to everyone. Service: Electrical

Took both of my cars in for service and was very happy. Never going back to a dealer. There prices were very fair and the quality of work was great. Customer service was very professional. I finally found a place that i can trust!

Serviced my cars several times at this place and every time, had a great experience. The best part is the transparency: very detailed explanation of what is wrong and how it's going to get fixed. Very reasonably priced too and quick turnaround. On top of that, car is always washed. My parents and my brother also started servicing their cars at this place too. Keep up the great work.

Came in for new brakes and rotors for a BMW 335xi (dealership quoted me way too much after getting an oil change). CAC called and told me I had a seized caliper. Dealership didn't even notice the issue. CAC was able to rebuild the caliper, install brakes, rotors, and brake fluid flush in 1 day! And they gave me a great price! Excellent service as well! Really great work! Thanks CAC!

Very friendly and super efficient! Was able to get car repaired and washed in a timely manner and reasonably priced compared to other local repair shops. They explained in detail the issues and helped me understand what needed to be done. They were honest and didn't try to sell or push more on me. Thank you! I'll definitely be coming back.
