Engine repair service near Solon Mills, IL

I would like to thank the staff at Bonds as i was out for Train fest on Saturday.I had come out from West Allis to enjoy your city and hospitality of all invovled in this free event.So upon returning to my truck i found it wouldn't start.I tried to jump it and when that failed the good people at Bonds had one of their Mechanics come to assist me in trying to get it running.Mind you this was in the rain.Between the two of us we got it started finding out it was my starter.Was able to get back home and put a new starter in on Sunday.So thank you all at Bonds and the mechanic that braved the rainy weather.I work for a auto parts distributor in West Allis and deal with many shops may i say you have a great looking shop.Thanks again for getting me started and back on the road!!!

Called to get the engine seals replaced, he said they do that repair but it was miss diagnosed and hade me spend over $600.00 with no result complete rip off, put a faulty part on my car which I needed replace again within a year, did not acknowledge. I would not recommend this shop for any work on the car

This place is my heaven on earth. If i could give more stars i would. Weve had them work on our 2009 yukon denali, our 2012 chrystler 300, and our 1999 mitsubishi eclipse. The last job i brought them was a 1987 Chevrolet C20 pickup. The transmission needed a rebuild. They did it in under a week, and they even beefed it up for just 100 more bucks! It was smooth, down shifts were incredible, the whole shabang. Everytime i hear someones having a problem with a car we dont know how to fix, this facility is my first recomendation. These people are so great, ive called asking their opinions on a noise and instead of giving me the same old same old ever shop does, "well.... youll have to bring it in and well charge to look at it" theyve helped me over the phone asking to describe it. Ive even had the receptionist pull a guy from the garage for his opinion! The only bad thing i have to say is, ive called numerous times to set up an appointment and tbe problem gets fixed by itself or i fix it, then forget to call and say its a no go on the appointment, or i do call and i emd up canceling. I feel so bad every time i do it because they are really good people! Thats my fault not theirs though. I have a 1973 corvette that was recently involved in a rear end hit, as soon as the body shop finishes with the back, everything i need done to it will be going to Natiomal Pride. I recommend this place to anyone with any car problems they dont feel confortable with doing! Dylan S. Gurnee, IL

Machined & assembled short block, when I went to finish assembling it, noticed a few things I didn't like. Ended up Paying a different engine builder to redo everything Dons did. Other service was just not the quality I paid for. I would not recommend them to anyone.

My brother-in-law purchased a used scanner from Skip and after updating it through the dealer, a couple of Arlington Heights and Wauconda Police Detectives showed up at his place of business to confiscate the scanner as it was reported stolen by its original owner (Skips friend from Lattoff Chevrolet). This information can be verified through the freedom of information act as it is on file with the Arlington Heights and Wauconda Police Departments. Mike called and called Skip left several messages for him to call him back never to hear from him. Finally talked him and he said he doesn’t have the money to give back to him and he won’t give him anything else of value to compensate me for my losses. I happen to know that he sends the machine work that he is supposed to do for his customers to other machining businesses to do for him but then doesn’t check it when he gets it back and has had some problems because of that. That’s if you can get it back from him after several excuses of why he has not touched it after several months of having it to work on. I know some people that he has had their jobs for more than 6 months and finally said he has to order parts and it will be another couple of months before the parts come in. Skip also has a really big mouth and likes to talk about everyone else’s business, he also likes to say what everyone else is doing wrong with their business but doesn’t know how to run his own business
