A & B Auto Repair

Happy customer today, given a rough estimate on brake work and they came in under that. Been a customer for seven plus years and never thought a part was unnecessary.

Honest, reliable, great value. Wish I found a shop like this back in Chicago. Bought the parts I needed myself, saving some cash, then brought it to A&B for a low price but quality install.

Great experience here. I was across the street getting tires and read the reviews on this place. It’s an old fashioned mechanic shop run by the owners. I brought my Escape in for a water leak and Lu quickly diagnosed what the issue was. He then had his wife check on the parts, she told me what to go buy, and I brought the stuff back and they only charged labor to put it in. I checked with the Ford Dealership and they wanted 3 times for the parts, and 2 times for the labor. I will be be back. My only suggestion to anyone who goes in is to get the part number before going to the auto store.

I hate to do it but I have to give a one star. I got my car service in May for a timing belt and water pump replacement. They had me buy a kit from AutoZone and they just charged me the labor. Everything was good until about 2 months ago when I realized my car was leaking a lot. I had my car checked out recently only to find out that my timing belt is almost worn out. I don’t drive my car enough for it to ALREADY be worn out. I haven’t even had the car for a year and I’ve been taking great care of it. Really disappointed that I wasted money to have it replaced when it didn’t last me nearly as long as it was supposed to…

This place has outstanding service. Its a bit busy, but there’s a reason for that. I took my car in because of an irritating squeaking noise. Even though there seemed to be quite a lot of work that day, they spent the time to test drive my car and correctly diagnosed the problem as a loose wheel cover. Since the issue was quick to resolve, they didn’t charge me. That’s exceptional service, where other auto repair facilities might have done things differently. I’ll be going back to them for my regular service!

I’ve been taking all my cars to A&B for years. Lou does great work at an reasonable price. They will not mislead or lie to you which is a rare commodity at a auto repair shop. Next time you need your auto worked on go see Lou you won’t regret it.

Honest and reasonably priced even for me as a woman.

Have you ever heard the old saying, «take your car to a place you can trust», well this is that «place». Lou and his wife are not trying to rip you off, moreover, I feel that they really want to give you the «fair» deal. Because this shop is located in the heart of a residential neighborhood, it is perfect if you want to keep a «paid for» car a few more years until the wheels fall off.

We have been coming here for years and very much appreciate the service everytime. Reasonable prices! They are very honest and friendly people. Fanta & John

Been taking my car here for years. I’ve gotten to know the owners pretty well as they’ve been at this location for as long as I can remember. I know I can take my car in and while getting my oil change done they’ll give me an honest assessment of my car and if there needs to be any additional repairs. They are like a good doctor and believe in preventative measures and will let you know how much long my breaks/​tires will last as opposed to automatically just recommending me to switch them out.
Also when replacing parts for my cars they help save me the most money by using aftermarket parts or finding cheaper alternatives like using junk yards.
Once when I had to tow my car they suggested their tow guy who ended up charging me less and saving me about $ 50.
Ann and Lou are awesome and this place is the best.
Also I’d recommend calling in to see if they are busy or not and you can set an appointment or they’ll let you know when a good time to come in is so you don’t waste your time.

My hubby has been bringing his car here to Lou for quite some time now so they have a good rapport. When my Honda nearly killed me on the fwy the other day I decided it was time to bring it here at the recommendation of my hubby. I called the HONDA dealer just to see if they might cut me a break since I still had a powertrain warranty on it & it seemed rather faulty of it trying to shut off at 70mph, but of course not. So off to A & B it went. Lou ran the diagnostic on it and was told I needed a throttle sensor. He ordered the part ran the test again and discovered that a different part was needed for the throttle issue. So he told me that the part my car actually needed wud be cheaper.
Went to go pick up my ride the very next day and it came out to be about $ 180 less from what he originally told me. WHOA! Quick service, honesty & integrity, That is refreshing in this industry. Yea I’ve been scammed by other mechanics in the past so I’m always reluctant to take my car anywhere; now not anymore. If you want quick, honest service & fair pricing bring your car here!

Had been taking our Integrea here for oil changes for years. Location is great and they have a nice spacious lot for their business. The couple that own the place are very nice and honest people. Haven’t needed to do much in terms of serious repairs (*knock on wood*), so we mostly have had experiences with just oil changes here. Very quick and efficient… although I always make it a point to be there bright and early at 8am when they open so that i can be the first in/​first out. =)
