Sam is the best scam artist your money will buy you. Brought the car here and he diagnosed with all sorts of issues that the car didn’t have. Not only that he was as rude as you can get. Took the car to Toyota dealership and the dealer said given the age of the car, the car was in the best possible condition. Hey buddy Sam, if you are gonna do business in IL make sure you know the climate. Car is a 2005 model and he was like omg the under carriage has rust. What car in IL that is 20 year old doesn’t have rust. We got scared because Sam said it was junk car and the Toyota dealer said that rust is normal for any car older than 6-7 year to have rust on the underbody. What a scam artist and scumbag this Sam fella is. Save your money and time before going to this dude. Piece of ado ice for SAM: just because undercarriage has rust doesn’t mean you have to replace everything that is on the car. This advice is courtesy of Toyota on Eden’s so make sure you call them and thank you Sam the scammer

Sam is wonderful to work with. Diagnosis problems quickly, communicates well, excellent repairs, and always honest. Just a nice guy who does good honest work. I’ve brought my car to Advanced Auto for years, and I will continue to do so.

The mechanic lied to me. Just to get an extra $30. I've used conventional oil or more recently a conventional/synthetic blend for my 2002 Honda since I bought it in 2003. The sticker says 5 W 20 conventional. He put in synthetic without asking and tried to tell me 5 W 20 means synthetic and the sticker on the engine block calls for synthetic because all 5 W 20 oil is synthetic. Not true. It comes in full synthetic, conventional or synthetic/conventional blend. I told him I've been using conventional 5 W 20 over the life of this car. I know that 5 W 20 means oil viscosity is 5 at 0 degrees F and 20 at 212 degrees. I'm doing something right because not everyone gets 20 plus years and 200,000 plus miles out of a 4 cyl gas engine. He just says "No it isn't! Honda makes the car and recommends synthetic! Look on the engine block sticker!" The sticker says 5 W 20, but nothing snot synthetic.He lied to get an extra $30 out of me, but I won't be back because he lied. Pretty short-sighted of him. I might have become a return customer and I might have written a nice review. I just have a problem with liars.

I got a flat tire and went right over. Sam did a great job managing expectations and fixing the tire within an hour. Great service and great value. This is the only place I take my cars.

I had the best experience with Sam today! I was looking into buying a used car from a nearby dealership and in an abundance of caution decided to have Sam take a quick look at the car while on my test drive. Sam was so attentive, and so friendly, he immediately took a look at the car for me and was spot on with diagnosis! I loved his honesty, his expertise, and most of all diligence in helping me! I wish I caught the name of his desk assistant, she was equally kind and comforting. I can comfortably say this is a reliable establishment I feel most comfortable taking my car in for maintenance going forward! I’m SO happy I’ve stumbled upon this gem, and will definitely be using their services again as I embark on my used car buying journey!

Oscar and Sam took my call and they were fantastic from the get go. FOR THE FIRST TIME, someone kind, relaxed and HONEST!I work on my own car but moved to down town Chi. for my job. I was quoted $250 down town for a simple oil change on my Mercedes ML350 (from experience, I know an oil change is not that difficult to ever justify that cost)... nearly X 2.5 what they Sam and Oscar quoted.I was welcome with a smile and treated like a friend to Sam. Walked over to the Starbucks next door while they worked, and was out ASAP. HIGLY recommend and 100% coming back.Services: Oil change

Extremely friendly customer service. Very knowledgeable in what they do and quick turnaround. Of course it helped that we knew the owners. I'm a single female and I would trust them to do right by me if I took my car in there by myself for work, mechanical work.

Great place. Had an alignment for reasonable price, brought it back a week later as the alignment was stull off a notch on my 20 year old car. They got it aligned as much as possible. Quick and honest service. And the parts department is a joy to watch fill orders while you wait, great entertainment value.
