Auto repair service near Crown Point, IN

We were on our way to Chicago earlier this week when we got stuck in a traffic jam. A woman working at a local restaurant noticed that our car was leaking oil. KAR service was close to the train station, so we brought it in and explained our situation. We were able to leave our vehicle with KAR; walk to the train station and go have our mini-vacation while KAR fixed our car up. The man we spoke with was polite and worked with our situation. When we got back from Chicago we simply walked back to KAR and picked up our vehicle. Great customer service that helped make the best of a bad situation.

I found that Bob is one of the most honest mechanics that has worked on my car. That is one reason, I will return to him to work on my car. The other, which is also important, I am very satisfied with the work he has done. I will be returning to him when I need additional repairs.

I would not trust my money with anyone else. I get treated fair every time I talk to Jim or his salesmen. They are truly honest and will tell you every single detail they know about the vehicle, instead of ignoring your question like a lot of other people. The prices are extremely cheap, always under KBB value. I originally bought a 96 Saturn off of Jim in 2004. It had 170,000 miles and it made it to over 230,000 miles in 2010. I ended up trading it in for a newer Saturn and he gave me another great deal! I got 6 years out of a $1,600 vehicle. Beat that!!

I am Kevin, and on 2/20/12 i had just purchased my 99 ford Taurus from STANDARD AUTO ON CHICAGO ROAD AND SAUK TRAIL. for me the car was all of 10 hours old. approx. 2 weeks after my praise for standard auto was posted - the car broke down due to an engine block crack. when i asked Steve to do something about the fact he knowingly sold me a bad car - he refused. Steve, Sue and all of the staff at standard auto give you their very best until you have paid for and driven your car off their lot - after that - you are nothing to them. This man and his band of merry thieves will take your money and ignore the problem they caused. i officially RECANT my previous praise of Standard Auto! BUYERS BEWARE OF STANDARD AUTO SALES - if you buy from them you will be back on the bus with me!
