I took my 2002 chevy pickup for an oil change on9/9/14 at that time I was informed needed to replace tie rod end replacements @ a cost of 637.00 which I paid. After paying I return home and on my table I had a 75.00 off any service of 600.00 or more card from Bartels. I call the Oswego store and request the credit and Devin (Manager) did so, as credit to my account. I returned a month later for a brake inspection, and was told by Shawn McDowell I needed everything, brake pads rotors calipers etc.I told him I did not believe that to be true.I took my truck and had my brake job somewhere else which did not require the extensive work as quoted at Bartels. Still having a credit of 75.00 I took my truck for a oil change, upon completion I was asked for a payment of 20.88, I replied take it from the credit I have .I was told by Shawn McDowell You can't use it for that! By this time I realized I had no other form of payment with me, at that time I said I would run home and get it, mind you I live less than 1 mile away, then I'm told we can't let you take the truck. By this time I am fuming. I then have to call my husband who is very ill with fatal cancer and in a hospice bed because he cannot get up without assistance, and ask for our credit card number. As I am leaving Shawn smiles and says the general manager will be in on Monday. Monday comes I talk with Devin, made him aware of the situation and DEMANDED my 75.00. I also asked for the owners contact information,I was given the number to another location. I have been a customer for over 10 years. I will NEVER return there again. WORD TO THE WISE! WHO NEEDS CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE THIS.

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.
