Auto repair service near Henry, IL

I had the oil changed in my car on approximately February 14, 2014 at this establishment. Normally I would change the oil myself but on this day it was cold out so I took it to them because I don't have a garage, the price was reasonable and the oil change was past due. The next oil change performed on this vehicle was by me. Granted it was about two weeks shy of actually needing to be done but I noticed spots of oil on my driveway. I got under my car to see where the leak was coming from. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed at what I found. Now I do admit that I'm not a mechanic by trade but I do know a few things about vehicles. Credit going to my father and past experience with having to do minor and major repairs myself. For example. When you go to put a brand new oil filter on it should be put on and tighten the oil filter by hand. The rubber gasket makes contact with the metal then you should turn it 3/4-1 complete turn to insure a proper seal. YOU SHOULD NEVER USE AN OIL FILTER WRENCH OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF TOOL TO TIGHTEN THE OIL FILTER BECAUSE THIS COILD DAMAGE THE OUTER BODY OF THE OIL FITER THEREFORE CAUSING IT TO LEAK. Even I know this and I don't get paid to perform this service. They damaged the outer body of the oil filter putting and crease in it which caused the oil leak. Plus I have an oil wrench that I've had for quite a while and it still took about 15 minutes to get that oil filter off and I damn near destroyed it getting it off. I will NEVER take any vehicle I or my wife owns to them for even so much as to change out a windshield wiper. They might use a sledge hammer for that job. Get a mech. that knows what he's doing.

Hard to beat Green's price on oil changes. I always stop in for my service and stay for the breakfast they provide in the lobby. Super great deal. I bought my '06 Tahoe new here and this is the only place I've ever gone for mechanical work on it. Very pleased. One of these days I'll trade for a new Chevy, but for now the car has held up well.

In and out, painless visit. My neighbor directed me to these guys once I got my wife a diesel Mercedes ML. It was our first foreign car so we did not know they called for specially certified technicians to service them. Luckily K&M was within our budget and they had the know-how that my wife and I lacked.
