Aprim Auto Repair

Aprim is best mechanic around he’s very honest, great work and the prices are reasonable.

Let’s start out by saying this is my first review and needed to document what happened.
My cars headlights went out and I needed to also get a connector changed. I went to autozone across the street and they sent me here.
I pull in and the owner pulls in behind me. He says how much do you want to pay? I say $ 5 and then quotes me $ 10. Great!
Then there is some sassyness from the mechanics because I guess it’s a lot of work to change this lightbulb and connector.
Then I hear a lady yelling at the owner in the office and he comes out all sassy saying I don’t care what you do, you could work for Obama, ten dollars for this light but not the other one,$ 40 for
The other one, with a terrible attitude.
I didn’t know it was all this work and he quoted me, so I bit my tongue and paid the $ 40. This could have been the most uncomfortable experience in a place of business I’ve had in a long time.

I was soooo lucky to find Aprim Auto repair and luckily live very near by. But I would never take my car anywhere else. I am a single woman and have had so many auto repair shops rip me off and way over charge but Aprim is just the opposite.
He really cares about each customer. He has always charged me less than ANYONE else. No need to even shop around for better prices, Aprim is as friendly and caring as can be, he goes out of his way to fix your car quickly if you need it for work.
He always seems to charge exactly the lowest possible cost him for parts and generous service. I trust him completely with my car and recommend him to ALL my friends and family no matter how far away they live– especially women who know how awful it is to go from one place to another and have these guys just jack up the repairs and prices as much as they can get away with because they know we are unsure what is wrong with our cars
. I have NEVER met such an honest auto repair person in my life! And if something goes wrong with a repair, he just says come right back and squeezes you in to fix it, no messing around or blaming the customer, Aprim Auto repair is the BEST!!!

My good friend suggested we take our company truck here for repairs. Long story short. Abrim is honest and hard working. Honesty should be at the top of the list when it comes to car guys. We thought our repairs would require a hell of a lot more than what was actually wrong. He could have hosed us, but he didn’t. He replaced a faulty steering fluid line and that was that. Our old Chevy was like new again. Even waiting to be seen wasn’t as bad as most places. He doesn’t forget that you’re sitting in his waiting area. Good people all around. At an age where he should be retired and sitting on a beach somewhere relaxing, we’re glad he’s still around to service our truck.

Grad A work and employees one of a kind. You will never find a place like this EVER!!! :-)

For the last 13 years, whenever I had a car, I’ve taken it to Aprim. I don’t know if there is a more honest mechanic in the city. Aprim is a man with compassion. When I was broke and driving around in clunkers, he was wouldn’t judge me for driving in cars that probably shouldn’t have been on the road. Instead, he would recognize my need and work with me on repairs. If I didn’t have enough money, he would repair my car enough to get me on the road safely until I had the money to make a full repair. There aren’t many people that would do that for a kid off the street with little to no money to pay. Now that he’s more popular, be prepared to wait longer than other mechanic shops. It’s worth the wait. I’m in a much better financial situation than in my twenties and my current car is in much better shape, but still I’ll take my car in for an oil change and wait 1.5 hours if I have to, just cause I trust Aprim and his guys. Even if I have to take my car in for something he doesn’t do, like body work, I’ll take it to him and he’ll refer me to another shop that he trusts and he’s never steered me wrong. The prices are affordable and he’s just a nice dude that deserves the business.

Aprim is a sweet man and always takes great care of me. This is the finest auto repair shop in Chicago. I feel welcomed every time I bring either of my 2 vehicles here. Excellent prices, honest in the strongest sense, and a small town mechanic feel.

An honest auto-​mechanic. Abram is the nicest person you will meet. He does whatever he can to fix your car that day and he will always give you the truth. Now that I’ve been to see him, I can’t imagine taking my car anywhere else.

I found this place by word of mouth. As a woman, it is really hard to drive into an auto shop alone and be treated respectfully and fairly. This place does both. I have been there several times for various things. The owner is always there, and the shop is well run. The price is always more than reasonable, and most importantly the work is done right. You can show up without an appointment too. I highly recommend this business.

Buddy of mine recommended this location. Had my brakes changed awhile ago, bought a pair of ceramics from autozone for under $ 40 (adjacent business) pulled in into Abram’s next. Don’t remember exactly, but i think I was charged close to $ 40 for the whole operation.
What I liked is that the $ was reasonable, I was in-​and-​out in under 30mins + I gave them 5-​stars over 4 because the son of the owner was kind enough to explain to me… the next time I need a brake change, «whoever you go to», I should replace rotors as well & showed me how much more thinner they’d be by then «they’re still good now»… well he was right — rotors were still fine!
Wow really?! Some other place would tell you to replace everything & find a way to charge up to $ 200 or more. The whole thing with brakes @ autozone & replacement @ Abram’s was less than $ 80 total.
I’m happy to know that not all auto places are scoundrels who are total scam-​artists the way most of them are. Will go again when it becomes necessary to do so! :)
