Good Mechanic in Chicago?
Hello everyone,
Fairly new here.
I was just wondering if anyone can make any recommendations on a reputable mechanic in Chicago?
I know of Haas Auto, but was wondering if there were any others that members might suggest.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Henry

I also have an '03 CLS and I can't say enough good things about Drew at the Pit Stop. Here is their Yelp page. http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-pit-shop-libertyville-2
Great mechanic, honest and transparent, and very competitive prices.

KD auto shop on California and Devon on the northside. The most honest man you will ever meet. His name is Young. I have been going to him for the last 15 years and he has not failed me yet!

Moving out to Chicago in the Fall, good to know I can go to The Pit Shop for my RL. Does Drew run any kind of special pricing for Acurazine members or friend referals? Does he do major service like timing belt/water pump changes?

I was about to go to The pit in libertyville for my 105k on my acura tl as well but was quoted $1300 which seemed a little steep for me, if anyone has other suggestions id appreciate it

For example, on my 04 TL, I did the 105k service at the Acura dealer that had a special going. At 130k my timing belt tensioner started to fail and they had to go back in the engine. Another 8 hours of labor to pay for to replace a $100 part. Lesson learned. I should have just payed the extra $100 for the part when they did the 105k service since all the labor is the same.
Also, talk to Drew and see if he can offer you better pricing. Is he including an oil change, brake fluid service or anything else like that? Maybe there are items you can pass on for now and do them later.
