Hi guys, im looking for a good mechanic/shop for my cl around chicago's northwest burbs. i gotta replace couple control arms, any places you know? Thank you

 

Thats an easy weekend DIY project man. You have tools? A case of beer will get you a long way, lol.

 

Not sure how North or West you are but Star Auto Authority in Vernon Hills does some pretty nice work. Complimentary shuttle and loaner cars if you are further away.

 

libertyville acura has yet to let me down

 

Hey man,

I started going to this guy based on referral from another Azine member. He did my timing belt job for half the price of Acura Libertyville (I used to go to them until I found this guy - ironically he worked there). His name is Drew and he's a master tech.

Knows his stuff and just a real nice guy. Check out his site: www.pitshopgarage.com


I am in the process of helping him out and re-doing his website for him (www.nnstudios.com/thepitshop_devdeploy/) You can check out his shop on my site for now until I launch it.

Tell him Nhan sent you.

Good luck.

 

Dude! You can take it to a shop I have taken my TL, 335 and M3s to! The shop I go to (IND) has an Acura tech with years of experience, I am sure they can knock out what you need for cheap. They only charge $62hr.

They are also only 20 mins from you!

 

Going to give Drew another visit this weekend for my compliance bushing install....his prices are extremelly reasonable

+1 for Pit Shop

 

eagleeye and lucnex thank you. im gonna give the guy a call and i know where the place is.

 

How did you go?

I just redid his website too! check it out - very slick now.

^^ how much do they charge for labor? I wanna say Drew charges only 50-60 dollars an hour

 

it depends on the job on hand. i don't know there charges.

but you can call them...

if you call Project X talk to larry or iLL Garage talk to Tommy...

 

I finished Drew's website: check it out www.pitshopgarage.com

Luc - head over to Yelp and write him a good review then copy and paste it into the google ratings as well. I am going to see how to link to it from the site.

Creating a FB fan page for him too. Like it when it's up

 

^^ Ill write him a good review once he fixes my license plate bolt....lol. I stripped a screw removing my rear license plate (top right one) and tried to drill it out but broke off the head. He tried to get it out with a tap and dye and his tap broke off in the hole....he told me there was so way it was coming out now so he would have to remove the entire nut and then retrofit some fastener in there to act as my license plate holder thing (no clue the technical name). I actually need to call him tomorrow and see what the progress is as he had to order something for it.....
