Project X Customs

I’ve been coming to this shop for years now and never had a problem with these guys. They’ve helped me with everything from maintenance to performance upgrades and their work is always A+. Lately I’ve been harassing Chris with my suspensions problems and he was always polite, responded to all my messages within 5min, looked at the car told me exactly what needs to be done and what doesn’t, and always said to come back if theirs any other problems. These guys know their cars and these reviews speak for themselves.

When you go to their website, it’s easy to think this is a custom body shop from the amazing photos of modded Z’s but Project X specializes in Automotive Performance, Repair, Maintenance, and Design. Larry friended me after I emailed a question. Since then I’ve had some repairs done on my car and have met him in person, as well as his great team Eli and Chris.
Not only are you treated with great respect here at PX, they go the extra mile to help answer your questions and share their knowledge. You step away knowing more about your car than when you walked in. Their passion is contagious and you feel like family. I trust them completely with my car and will make the drive from the IN border for the reputable service and humor. Highly recommend!

good service. friendly staff. these guys know their stuff. definitely coming back here when i can afford more aftermarket car parts for them to install!

Best of the Best! Very honest and do a great job!

Like all the other reviews say. This place is GREAT. This is the only place that I allow to touch my car. They primarily work on Nissan’s (350Z/​370Z/​GTR) and Infiniti’s. They back all their work. The head mechanic Eli, is a master mechanic. It was Project X that installed the twin-​turbo kit on my G35, and Eli did the tuning! Great prices, and they won’t try to rip you off. Chris is a very cool guy, and will assist you with answers to all your questions. If you are not very knowledgeable about cars, these guys don’t mind, and will answer any question you have. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a oil change to race-​car setups!
Honest guys and they do great work.

Chris and Eli are both really cool guys and know their cars. I’ve had my 370z and BMW worked on at project X, and there’s nothing these guys can’t handle. Not only that, they are trust worthy people that will take time out of their day to give you their honest opinion on what needs to be done to your car or what doesn’t need to be done. I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking my car to anyone else. If you have a performance car or any daily driver that needs work these guys are the best!

Best place to get anything done on your car. I would trust these guys over any dealership out there. They are very honest and will not over charge you. They will also let you know whether you need a certain thing done on your car or not. Will always go back.

Very honest and hard-​working group of people. These guys will go the extra mile for you to make sure your car leaves in the best possible shape.

It is really hard to find a shop you can trust anywhere you live, this shop has earned my faithful trust from the very first time I brought my car there over 3 years ago, and now I take both my daily driven car there as well as my baby that they completely helped build. I live downtown Chicago as well so that should help to explain how much I appreciate this shop’s work to drive all the way out to Schaumburg for it. Everyone that is a part of this shop are truely great and genuine people and I would not take the time to write this review if I did not think that people would thank me for turning them onto this shop.

Honest mechanics and quality work. Love this place.

Don’t let the cars parked outside fool you, the guys at Project X can and will help you whether you have a complete track car to build or just regular maintenance needed on a daily driver. I’ve been going to the shop for a few years now and have seen the incredible work, great attention to detail, and care they give to their customers and their cars. Really going above and beyond to give you a good experience.
First major job I had done to my car there was a clutch and flywheel when the clutch gave out on my car. There are no stupid questions, they took the time to really talk me through my options and help me figure out what would be best for me and my car.
Awesome group of guys with a lot of knowledge between them. Laid back and honest, don’t have to worry about being ripped off or being charged for something you don’t need. Treat their customers cars as good, sometimes even better, than their own. Couldn’t recommend this shop enough.

Been going to Project X since spring of 2010. I must love them because it’s a 160 miles round trip drive from my home. I «found» PX initially on
where they were identified as leaders in routine service and custom installation work for the Nissan Z and Infiniti G. But they are so much more versatile. They now work on my Nissan, Mitsubishi and Porsche.
Eli Baldwin is the master mechanic assisted by Chris Dipping, Larry Kenney is the master fabricator and the man who literally knows everyone in the Chicago JDM car scene. You’ll be treated to great service and excellent rates, and a car club atmosphere. The waiting area is not sumptuous but they have wifi – the most important amenity for me. And customers often talk cars and car shows if you want to participate.
Go, maybe we will meet up! I’m there frequently ’cause there is always another new aftermarket goodie I want to have them install.

Between their years of experience and their excellent service, Project X Customs is one of the best repair shops you could take your car to.

Larry and Eli are some of the nicest guy’s in Chicagoland! Always going the extra mile not only at their shop but in the scene. So many big event’s wouldn’t of happened if it weren’t for Larry. The place is very chill and quality work is done, honestly the atmosphere is so much nicer then other «shops» on the northside. I’ll give Project X my money everytime if I had to decide where to go.

Great group of guys that really know what they’re doing and understand your passion for cars. They will do everything to meet your satisfaction. They will even move your car into their garage if it’s hailing outside. Need me to say more?
