Auto repair service near Dekalb, IL

Typical sleazy used car dealership. They will not tell you what is wrong with the vehicle. Either that or their technician is not properly trained enough to assess the existing damages. I would never in my life recommend these people to anyone for a used vehicle. They sell you vehicles claiming to 'need nothing' with 'perfect autochecks', ship them out to you for you to find they need new MAIN seals, clutches, and tires. My $1000+ mechanic bill would suggest it needed more than 'nothing'. What did they do when I informed them about these pre-existing damages? Imagine a parrot that knee-jerkingly vomits out "Nope. The car was perfect. Squaawwwk. Nope. The car was perfect". The instant I mentioned repairs this guy(John) hit flipmode on me and the ol' 'aw shucks', family owned and operated bit went out the flippin' window. I tried to reason with them and even gave them a heads up that I would be posting many horrible reviews and they just didn't care. Believe it. Super classy, right? Quick credibility check, for what it's worth. I'm a 35 year old man who has been driving as his job for the last 2 decades. I'm the most skilled driver at my place of employment. I've owned 30 vehicles in my life. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, V8s, 4 bangers, autos, manuals, low riders, lifted trucks, you name it. My other car is a Toyota with about 204,000 miles on it. It's a manual. Bought it new and have babied it ever since. 15 years ago I scored a perfect on the test to get into the military(3 out of every 1500 people do that). Which sounds more likely to you - the person I just described grinding, burning, and chewing up that clutch(see pictures), busting the main seal, and magically dry rotting 3 tires around the entire circumference..... or maybe this small time used car dealership just isn't very honest and hasn't realized the power of social media yet? I've been going to my mechanic for 8 years. It's the type of place you would expect the person I described above to take their vehicle. They've given me my vehicle back and said there is nothing wrong with it and that I was imagining it. They've given it back to me and told me the fix was a $10 gas cap. Family owned and operated, stack of testimonials the size of a phone book in the lobby, the owner and his wife behind the counter, etc. His wife has shuttled me to and from my house several times. It's that kind of place. It's called Accurate Automotive in Mesa, AZ. Check them out, they know everything. Ask about Steve and the white mustang that got shipped here. Ask me too, anything you like. Message me on here, call me, ask to see my paperwork, more pics, call my work, anything you like to ensure you make the right car buying decision. I'm going to extract this money from your pocket one way or another, John and Bill at Golden Auto Sales, whether it be by you cutting me a check for something that's fair, or lost revenue from potential car buyers(think about what one set of eyeballs on this review does to your pocket). More later!

Outstanding! This truck underwent an engine transplant. After having one mechanic replace an engine with 600+K with one with 80K, the 'new' engine wouldn't produce full power and would "miss" intermittently at random times. (Idle, midrange and full power?) The vehicle went to 4 different service centers. Ford service 1st... (avoid altogether for diesel repairs) and followed by 3 reputable diesel specific repair shops. Not even a suggestion..."computer doesn't see any problems, passes pressure checks, injector "rattle test" etc.) These guys gave me my 600+K mile truck back 4 days later running like it came off the showroom floor. Courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. Worth the money...But...not cheap!

We have been going to Kurt's for service for years. It is wonderful to have a shop that you can rely on. Recently our daughters car broke down at college in Dubuque, IA. We found a shop there that worked on her car and it turned out that a part that Kurt's had replaced in that vehicle for us last year had failed. I called Ray and he contacted the mechanic in Dubuque directly for us and made arrangements for a replacement part to be sent there... saving us $400 in replacing that part. As always, above and beyond! They are truly a blessing in our lives! The best!

Bought a vehicle from here with 103,000 miles on the odometer. Had some service issues (3 wks after purchase) and took it to my mechanic. He told me there was evidence of the odometer being turned back. Ran a car fax report (which came up free because of a previous dealership that was selling the vehicle) - the last know mileage was 204,887! I am filing a complaint with the FTC, BBB, the police dept and my attorney!
