Brake repair service near Deerfield, IL

Had car towed there with recommendation from brother. Would not even offer a ballpark figure for repair. He had car for 3 days, total came to $238.04. Picked up car, greasy fingerprints on door handle, hood, side of car. Inside smelt like a hobo mechanic had been sleeping in it. Driver side floor mat covered in grease,radio presets wiped out. Most shops lay paper down inside to keep greasy boot prints out, they wipe down the outside of the car if they mess it up. Better places will even reset your clock and radio stations if they unhook battery. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because they fixed the brakes. Will not go back in future.

Picked up a coupon from Groupon that included free oil changes. I went in expecting to be met with a cold shoulder and a hurry-up-and-get-this-guy-out-of-here feeling. I was wrong. I came in and was greeted right away by the owner himself. While I was waiting on my car to receive an oil change the owner sat with my girlfriend and I for a good 15 minutes talking to us and making sure everything was going well while explaining his business and passion for good service. The oil change was done in a timely manner and everything went smoothly. There was not even a hint of upselling and I never felt uncomfortable while there. I live in Schaumburg and this is a little bit of a drive just for an oil change but now that I have been there once I don't think I will go anywhere else for future service of my vehicle. The entire management and floor team there were very professional and friendly. It is also located in an easily accessible location and well-kept neighborhood. I am going back this Saturday for another oil change and I look forward to speaking with the owner again to let him know what I think of his business. As a new resident to Illinois I am happy to know I have found a trustworthy auto business.
