Brake repair service near Winfield, IL

Fast friendly people there, they really take the time to explain how and why things happen to your car. I hate when I am forced to have work done on my car, but at least when I take it to Mark and his team, I know it gets done right and as soon as possible. They even offer you a free loaner car if the job is bigger or will take longer than expected. I have only needed it once so far, so I think they narrow down the problem pretty fast and get you back on the road. Their prices are very fair. A few times in the past I have wasted my time getting estimates at other places, just to end up back at GTM! Oh well, live and learn!

I was stranded 50 miles from home and got my car towed here, I was a little nervous not knowing anything about the shop or the area. John was very nice and assured me that they would find out what was wrong, I wondered at what cost..The car was looked at and the cost was very reasonable, being a woman I was concerned they were going to try and overcharge me because I had no other option but to go there. Even though I live so far away I would definitely bring my car here again for service, a nice honest mechanic/repair shop is hard to find but this place rocked!

Untamed Auto on Lunt in Schaumburg between Rodenburg and Wright. Good, fast, and cheap. Won't screw you or try to sell you a bunch if crap you don't need. I've been to him a handful of times, and sent several people to him with zero complaints. $3 k repair at the dealer $1 k there. He wasn't a friend of mine that I knew before or anything, just somebody I ran across, and now trust. Guy's name is Steve Bernberg

My van was serviced here after noticing that my tire seemed flat. I arrived with no appointment and with two toddlers tagging along. Employees were very courteous and helpful. From my experience, they seemed honest and didn't try to push me to add services. My tires was repaired within an hour of arriving. Glad I found this gem! Melissa Carpenter

Rating on Carx, Schaumburg, IL: Poor Diagnosis, Manager is very rude and no guarantee to the parts and labor even if the same problem occurs in next two days. Please don't go to this shop, If you get check engine signal. actually I could rate this shop zero star. Now a days These CARX guys are cheating customers. The manager Bill always gives high bill. Don't believe their free diagnosis test. They don't find real problem, rather they fix some thing and if the problem comes back again even in next couple of days, they don't help on that. Here is my story. I have been going through this CARX shop for since last 4 years. In the year 2008 and 2009 this CARX mufflers were really good. They always help to customers to fix the car problems with less price and with 99% guarantee on the work they did. After this new manager name Bill came into Schaumburg, CARX, this shop became like cheaters shop. Recently I took my Toyota corolla car to fix check engine signal. they did diagnosis and said code P0171, that means exhaust or lean engine problem..blah..blah. Then I told them, I will come back in 2 days and I did same. I dropped my car to fix check engine signal, This time different mechanic in same CARX and he said he saw different code with computer and replaces throttle sensor and other...and they gave me bill $588 for check signal ($330) and AC recharge. ($158). After I drove 50 miles, check engine light came back. I took car to CARX again. now this same mechanic who repaired it said that he is saying code PO171 that is the same one their other mechanic told very first time. This guy did something again and said fixed. After I drove 25 miles, check engine signal came back. I called manager Bill for same. He told that his mechanic is out of town and he asked me to comeback after 2 weeks. Then I took my car to carx on 08/12/11 friday, This time mechanic is there. Now the drama started. They simply said that, they can't determine which is causing PO1

*the mechanic lies, and the store manager is very rude* I had a fuel filter replaced at Woodfield Schaumburg Firestone, and I asked the mechanic if he replaced the plastic clips that hold the lines in place. He said both clips were replaced with new clips. I got my car back and inspected it myself. One of the clips looked old. A couple days later I went to a different firestone and asked them to check it. They confirmed it was an old (original) clip, so they changed it for me real quick (nothing had to be taken apart, it was very easy). Everything was rechecked, and the car returned to me (no charge). I contacted the manager at the Schaumburg location to discuss my concerns about being lied to by his mechanic, and the manager became defensive and rude. I went to the Schaumburg store, and the manager would not even meet/talk with me. So I spoke to the only remaining mechanic at Schaumburg that I like/trust and explained everything to him... gave him the clip, and asked him to show it to the manager since he wouldn't talk to me. This whole experience was very upsetting. Me, my brother, parents, 1 neighbor, and any friends I referred to them in the past will not be going to the Schaumburg firestone anymore. All they had to do was tell me they reused a clip (not lie), or get a new clip (less than $1). They lost at least 5 customers for lying about a cheap plastic clip and of course the rude customer treatment. I was a customer for over 3 years. This was my 3rd and last bad experience with the Woodfield Schaumburg location. In my personal opinion, if you value your vehicle... do not go to this shop.
