Multiple shops failed to fix my A/C, but Mike & Sons fixed it no problem. They were courteous, professional, and utterly transparent throughout the entire process.Another time, I had my car towed to AAA Riverside because AAA Roadside Assistance said it would save money. The towing was fine, but the mechanics at AAA Riverside (who apparently are paid on commission) were either incompetent, dishonest, or both - they nearly destroyed my engine and tried to get me to pay them another $2000 on top of the $2500 I'd already paid them, because I apparently needed a whole new engine. I immediately called Mike & Sons to get a second opinion. I ended up having my car towed to them from AAA. Once M&S took a look at my vehicle, they discovered that not only did I NOT need a new engine, but the AAA mechanics had botched the repairs, causing oil to leak everywhere.They got my car running, but Anthony at M&S said he wanted to keep working on it because he wasn't happy with "how" it was running. Turns out, it was a fuel issue - the people at AAA hadn't even bothered to do a fuel test before telling me to pay them for a whole new engine. M&S got my car running like new in less than a day after they figured out the issue, and they charged a more than reasonable price.Mike & Sons do great work, they're hardworking, and they're honest. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone needing auto repair or maintenance work. They can fix most things, and handle their business with integrity - if they can't, they'll refer you to someone trustworthy who can.Services: General repairs & maintenance

They don’t take appointments. First come first served daily. I have been coming for years. Very experienced crew. I have never had to bring something back for a 2nd time fix. Pricing is fair. A couple of times they have been able to finish my description of the issue. Proving they knew what was going on before looking at the car. They keep you informed along the way. 10/10

Honestly this whole team was great. Had both my family car brakes down and they were honest, reasonably priced, efficient, and very friendly. I would highly recommend them and will be returning here in the future.

I took my car here in the morning because it wasn’t blowing cold air. I received a call from them by noon stating that they performed a dye test on my AC system and my condenser was leaking. I gave them the go ahead to order the part and install the condenser. By noon of the next day they had my car ready for me to come pick up. Honest and reasonable prices. Great fast service!

I had so many things that needed to be fixed on my car and stupidly I trusted them to fix it. One of the parts they put in was a water pump which is supposed to last 60,000-100,000 miles, this literally cracked in less than 2 months. We took it back hoping that this time it would be fine and less than a month later It was once again leaking. I need my car to drive places so I was unable to take it to get fixed until recently. We had dropped it off on a Monday and they hadn’t called back after saying they’d look the next day. So we called Wednesday to see if they had an update but they informed me that they are barley going to look at it and would call back shortly. Well they never did so we called the next morning, the guy said that it was the next car to be repaired & that the parts were ordered Tuesday. So clearly no one’s communicating or anything. They did not call to update me on their findings, and give me a price. They were just going to do it and force me to pay even though I got faulty parts. Which made no sense to me since I have a year warranty so I thought I’d be able to get everything for free since they clearly put in faulty parts after bragging about how they use top notch parts. They wanted to charge me 500 for labor but knocked it down to 400 to fix it. I would never pay them again for a mistake they made. I have been nothing but patient but after paying so much money the first time I’d want it done right. I quickly went and picked up my car and will never go back. I’m so unhappy with this place, save yourself money and definitely go somewhere else.

My AC was out for, like, 3 months, so I figured I'd bring it in as soon as possible. I've heard great things about Mike and Sons, which is why I brought my car here.The gentleman who greeted and took care of me at the front office was super helpful, informative, and kind. Called me with updates, so communication was pretty great.Thanks for helping me out!Services: Auto A/C recharge

At first their work was excellent. But then they got sloppy when burning with torch my bolts that they couldn't unscrew professionally. Smh. I trusted them with my car. And they go around the problem instead of fixing the problem when they receive the car the first time. They have poor communication skills. My car was sitting in their lot untouched for 1 week. Smh!!! Never again!!!

I learned of Mike and Sons over 30 years ago when they did overflow business for Bob Anderson Ford. My husband always did all his own repairs, but he got too old to crawl under cars, and he started taking them to Mike and Sons from our home in Western Springs. He was a master mechanic, and he did not suffer fools. Anthony has been known to pick me up from the hospital and drive me home to Burr Ridge! He also took my car through the emissions test after it initially failed and I took it to him for repair. The few complainers on this page are either lying, misunderstanding the facts, or just generally impossible to please. My daughter drives 14 miles, as I do, to entrust her vehicles to Anthony. There aren't enough stars to bestow on this outfit.
