North End Garage

My husband’s family has been coming to North End forever. I now know why… honesty and fair prices! This awesome family business keeps customers by treating people well and doing great work!

These guys are awesome. They will not try to rip you off. They understand how to keep loyal customers. They are honest and fair, because of that my entire family uses them exclusively for all auto repairs. It’s refreshing to have a business like this!

North End Garage is on the Northern end of downtown Libertyville and they are great! They’ve helped me out in a jam and a locally owned business. Check them out the next time your check engine light comes on, you need an oil change, or for any other reason. I highly recommend the team at North End Garage! Again — friendly and honest — what more can you ask for?! Pricing is good too!

Man I can’t say enough for the excellent service received. Took my Avalanche in for service not knowing what to expect. They were speedy, honest, and communicated with me in a very transparent way. Also love supporting family owned business!

Previously quoted at another garage for upwards of $ 800 for MAP sensor issues, replaced with a $ 60 part and only a half hour of labor. Patched my exhaust issue for free and removed a broken link as to avoid further damage to my car. THESE GUYS KNOW CUSTOMER SERVICE. NO Bull.

I recently took my car in for an oil change and the place told me that the previous mechanic must have stripped my oil pan plug and I would need to replace the entire oil pan. They quoted me $ 610, the local Ford dealer quoted $ 700.
I decided to call North End Garage to get their price. Rather than replacing the oil pan they were able to fit a new/​larger pan plug and told me to monitor it rather than doing a much more costly repair. The best part: all they wanted was $ 20! Don’t think I have ever spent that little at a mechanic before…
Needless to say they will not only be doing all my future oil changes for my cars. they will always be my first consult for auto repairs. They could have easily quoted a far higher price but their honesty has got them a new long term customer.
Great to have a local garage/​mechanic like this in Libertyville!

We came to this place because of the good reviews… totally worth it. They seem a little frank on the phone, but it’s just because they are so busy. They are so honest and do great work. We only bring our cars here when we need work done. They are great!

I needed my right-​side rear view mirror replaced — they ordered the part, got it in and put it on in less than 24 hours. And their price was by far the most reasonable. I will be back! So glad I found this shop!

Went to check some noises and change tires. They have changed the tires, balanced and aligned all wheels as planned. They checked all fluids and adjusted the brakes for free, all noises and trembling I was feeling while stepping on the brake are gone. The car was returned really clean and running smoothly. Prices are really reasonable, staff and management very honest.
I recommend it to anyone who needs car maintenance and repairs.
After the experiences I had in the dealership and this one, North End Garage is the only place I’ll trust with my car repairs.

The best service possible! They are fair and honest, and they also explain everything well to someone who does not understand cars. We have been going to them for years and have never been disappointed. I always recommend them to everyone in the area.

The only place my family takes their cars, and for good reason.
Don’t be fooled with how short they may seem on the phone when making an appointment, nor how «messy» their shop is. This place is premium. Joe generally works on our cars and calls frequently throughout the day to check in and let me know whats going on. He NEVER does any work that doesn’t need doing (i.e: I thought I needed a whole knew windshield wiper and motor, but he showed me how to fix it by tightening something. He could have EASILY squeezed money out of me for the part that I was WILLING to pay, but took the honest way around it instead).
They are so trustworthy. I know they will tell me the truth and not try to make more money. A lot of times I’ve taken my car in to have things checked out and they fix it free of charge!
Seriously… you won’t regret it. This place is AMAZING!

Car started running very rough and threw a check engine light. Called North End in the morning and they said bring it in same day. Don’t be fooled by the looks of the shop (which looks like it hasn’t changed in 50 years). They had the problem diagnosed and fixed (ignition coil) in the same day. Jeff did a great job explaining what went wrong, how much the repair would be and why, the pros/​cons of not fixing it, and how long it would take to fix it.
The repair fixed the problem, and the car was ready exactly when they said it would be ready. Rates were very reasonable ($ 95/​hr for labor, and parts were marked up about 10% over NAPA, which is typical). When I picked the car up, they were very friendly.
This is the sort of place that is getting harder and harder to find. Local shop, fair prices, excellent service.

These guys are incredible. Highly, highly recommended. I’ve gone there for everything for a ’97 Civic (which is a lot) and always am pleased with the resolution and price. One time, they spent 3 days trying to figure out why a fuse kept popping and charged me only $ 20 for gas they spent driving it around …

I would just like to say how wonderful it is to find a service station you can trust and that will work with you. Don you are the BEST! Two times I have brought my car in, over a year period, older car, both times the experience has been worth my drive and time. You treat the car like its you own. It runs like a brand new car!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Fixed a hole in my windshield wiper reservoir and changed my left rear tail light for around $ 40. Fast, friendly, service! I will be a repeat customer!
