“Take 5 is awesome! I have been to the Crystal Lake, IL location on several occasions now and they’re always great! Fast friendly service! I highly recommend them.”
“They were able to get me in for a big problem with my brakes and worked with me to have my car ready for an appointment I had the next day. They were very professional and did great work.”
“They are quick and always helpful and also let you top off an extra qt between oil changes, that’s a plus tbh and they replaced my light bulb for 15$ which took them 30min to do. I can only imagine how long it would have taken me to do it tbh”
“They always do a great job. This last time, we had to juggle a few appointments, and they found a way to get the entire list of work done in one day. Very professional, but also friendly.”

5220 S Illinois Rte 31, Crystal Lake“I really appreciate the customer service at Jax. They realized the issue was on going and unfixable so they refunded the cost of labor. You would never get these type of service at the big name dealerships.”

221 S Main St, Wauconda“Mark and his team are simply great. Was there yesterday and they right away diagnosed the problem and was able too fix it the next day. Kudos to them. I would definitely highly recommend them. Thanks so much my car runs like a gem.”
“I as a Female Senior has in the past been taken advantage of by Repair Shops and that was my biggest fear when Discount Tires sent me to AW for an Alignment. But much to My Surprise, I felt very Confident that they were honest and now my favorite go to place for any car issues.”
“Wonderful service. Quality, professional, thoughtful. Took the time and made the effort to research and determine root cause of my “check engine” issue and resolved it.”
“They replaced the tires and shocks on my van, along with a handful of other routine repairs. Frank, Dave, and their team are extremely thorough and explain everything in great detail. Dave even called after I picked up my van to inform me of a rebate I can claim through Bridgestone. Above and beyond service and by far the best around!”
“Update: 8/31/24
I still bring my Explorer to Wickstrom and they continue to do great work. Super nice people and always talk me through the process. They take great care of my car and appreciate how kind they are every time I come in. I typically use Jon in the service department and he’s awesome; super helpful. I recently had Rob as my service advisor and he was great too! Everyone is super helpful.
I did not buy my Ford Explorer through Wickstrom but that hasn’t stopped them from giving me outstanding service. I only take my explorer to Wickstrom thanks to their fantastic service department. I drive over 40 minutes to get my oil changed just so I can have these guys do the work. Austin in the service department has been awesome to work with. I’ve have a few recalls and a repair done and every time he’s kept me in the loop. The facility is clean and so welcoming and everyone is so nice. Hoping my explorer makes it quite a few more years but when I need a new car I’ll definitely be getting one through Wickstrom. Great job guys!”

217 Symphony Way, Elgin“Great customer service, greeted always with a friendly voice and smiles. Spot on with diagnosis of issues and never a huge laundry list of things wrong with vehicles, unlike going to car dealers and everything under the sun is wrong. Not at Kellenbergers that is for sure. Great workmanship....”

1560 E Algonquin Rd, Algonquin“I tried Strickland 10 Minute Oil Change because i was disappointed with other companies. Strickland had great reviews so i gave them a try. I didnt have to get out of my car and it really took 10 minutes. The tech was friendly, knowledgeable, gave me $5 off, a bottled water and replaced 2 tire air caps at no extra charge. Really nice people. I will be returning!”
“Got in on a Wednesday morning without making an appointment for an estimate on my exhaust. They installed an exhaust sleeve and I was out of there in an hour. Good friendly service and efficient, quality work. They also allowed me to look under the car before doing anything. Always a good sign.”
“Tony runs a great shop, it's very orderly and clean. He took such good care of my car told me the things that I needed to have done and then others that were recommended. He took his time explaining everything. Very professional and very helpful.”
“Have an engine swap being done. Waited a bit, but happy to find out a brand new motor was installed. I was referred to Manfreds by many previous customers. Alex and Bruce took care of me quickly after the motor arrived from Germany. Thanks again.”
“Took my accord to JD for engine misfires on a recommendation from a friend after taking it to McGrath and getting a ridiculous quote. Had my car up and running in a day for a fraction of what Honda wanted. Will be using him from now on and recommending him to everyone.Service: Auto engine tuning”

Anyone that helps me with the business I consider part of my team. Very reasonable pricing, easy to work with, good timeframes. Thanks guys!!!”
“This shop is awesome ?, I was started using since last year when my Ford escape was fixed the muffler and until now the mechanic shop are very accommodating especially Tony the owner of the shop was cool. He was very transparent for everything. He always giving you an option and he always willing to hear your opinions and suggestions. Since then this is my shop from changed oil to any kind of car service. Again thank you Tony.
I highly recommended this shop for any type of service especially muffler.”
“SJM AutoWerks replaced my A/C compressor on my 2020 Volvo for a better price than the dealership. They were honest and fair priced and I will use them again in the future”
“Before I came here I had gotten quoted $3300 to repair my Audi A5 at another local place. I was skepticle so came here instead for a second opinion. They injected dye to check for leaks and cleaned the car underneath and cleaned the engine area all for a very fair price. I drove the car for two weeks and they reported there were no leaks and no repairs needed... AAA+”
“Excellent service and genuinely nice people! Car broke down on Rt 12 and was able to get it to the first shop which was Wauconda Car Care. So glad it was, because they were helpful right away and got my car taken care of! Thank you, Wauconda Car Care!!”

423 N Grove Ave, Elgin“After having the worst time at the Toyota dealership, I came to J&R, whom I had been recommending to people. I was treated respectfully and as a normal person. Jose and Angel were up front and explained everything to me in great detail. They got my car inspected, sent me videos and pictures of the issues and had my car ready to go within the day. Jose gave me awesome updates, everything was explained in the reports and nothing was missed. I will definitely be going back again for everything!”
“I can't say enough about mike total standup guy and great customer service, Andrew and kolman thank you as well. You tend to see service stations like these squeeze you for every little thing. Mike was top notch and I literally cannot say enough about this gentleman's character and customer service”
“This is the only place I trust for oil changes on all my cars. If you want to support local businesses, this is the place to go. They provide excellent service to the people of South Elgin. I've been coming here for years because they always deliver consistent, top-notch work.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement”
“AMAZING customer service. Very professional with friendly, energetic and passionate personalities.
When I first pulled up all technicians came out instantly and got straight to work. Their teamwork and communications were impressive. They mentioned and explained every step of the process to me while answering all questions I had. I haven't been this impressed with service anywhere in a very long time.”
“Seems like I found an honest place to do biz with. Heard a noise from my brakes. They looked it over and said they were still good. Presented me with a bill for ZERO dollars. I've been looking for someone I could have work on cars without fully funding their kids education.”
“I procrastinated over buying a newer car until it became a necessity. I was holding out for the possibility of finding that one vehicle that put a smile on my face but was affordable as well. The task was becoming very difficult because used cars and interest rates are not favorable for buyers right now. I decided to travel out into the polar snow vortex of last weekend and drive to Wickstrom Ford. Needless to say I think everyone was very surprised to see me and I had the full team at my disposal. I felt like a rock star. And was treated like one. I was concerned being an older single female that my requirements would be disregarded. That was not the case at all. Everyone worked together and listened to what I had to say. My sales person Chris Kason was awesome. He took the time to walk me through everything. He and the finance team were wonderful with what they put together in order for me to buy my car. It was the best experience I have had purchasing a vehicle. Thank you all so much.”

213 E Lake St, Bartlett“My mini van's engine siezed up and Scott took care of everything with frequent updates. Everyone who works there is wonderful. Lobby is clean. I would and will continue to recommend them.”
“Found Pit Stop through Groupon and made an appointment. I was taken care of by JD. I suggest you request this guy. Personable, and very very knowledgeable!!! Really gave my car a thorough inspection and alerted me to some potential problems that he discovered. JD is extremely diligent and takes pride in his work. It's a rare thing to find a guy like this these Days. Most other oil change places (and I've been driving for 56 years) do not come near to matching the service and attention to detail that I experienced here. Pit Stop is very lucky to have an employee like JD. This will now be my go-to spot for oil changes!”
