Cary Grove Automotive

I have been using Cary Grove Automotive for years. Honest and Capable mechanics, fairly priced too! I will never take my car anywhere else.

Lance and his staff are old school and that’s a good thing.
I own a local business that has 4 vehicles, all of which are getting a little older. So they need work on a pretty regular basis.
Cary Grove Auto is the only place I would ever take my vehicles. I have tried other places in the Crystal Lake area that were closer to me and I have always been disappointed. Most other places seem to have mechanics that have no idea what they are doing or their prices are crazy!
About 5 years ago a friend of mine’s daughter worked for whitey’s towing and they highly recommended Cary Grove Auto. So we tried them. We’ve gone there ever since.
Lance is always friendly and gets our vehicles in and out very quickly. A huge fear of mine, and I suspect one mechanic in Crystal Lake was doing, is a mechanic fixes one thing and then all of a sudden something is wrong. That is why it is so important to find a mechanic you can trust, whether lance or whoever else works on your cars.
Cary Auto reminds me of what I imagine a nice, local, honest mechanic back in the old days used to be like. Like in Mayberry. Nothing fancy, just honest advice and great service.

Great place. Hard to find a reliable and honest repair shop. We have two older cars and CGA has always repaired only what they needed.
