Engine repair service near Wauconda, IL

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.

Dan is great ! the best place ever, he is very moderately priced and will always tell you the truth about your car. i gave been going there for 4 years

Hollywood has reasonable prices, plus the staff is super helpful. Joe and his guys do a great job of serving cars. Plus, they have a full auto parts store attached to the garage, so you know they're going to have a part when you need it. Not only is the staff super helpful but they are also quick and pay attention to detail. A winning combo. You can't go wrong with Hollywood Auto!

Worst place to take your engine to get rebuilt, do not take your engine here. I had my engine rebuilt there and after 5,000 miles it was leaking oil and anti-freeze from the head gasket. While it was being worked on they called me and said my block was "twisted" from overheating, which never happened while I owned the car. So I paid to have the block replaced and still ended up with these problems. I called within the 1 year warranty and the owner gave me the run around for over a month. I offered for him just to provide me with the parts, so I did not have to deal wiith him anymore, and I would cover the labor and I still got the runaround. I ended up buying the stuff myself and having another shop doing the head gasket job and paying again to have my heads resurfaced. This shop would not provide me with a warranty because the block was replaced. Turns out the block they provide that I paid for is no good and it is leaking again. Can't afford to pay 2,000 more so now I am stuck with it and will drive it till it dies. Do not get your engines done here. JAY
