All of the good things the other reviews say are true! I had been having issues with a rough idle, and after another mechanic had told me they would only look at it if the problem were actively occurring (the problem goes away after driving for a few minutes, so this was not possible), I took it here. Ted inspired confidence and trust from the very beginning. He was extremely kind and respectful, and gave my vehicle earnest care and effort. Even though it was not the easiest diagnostic, he worked with me to figure out the issue (dirty throttle body). He even picked me up and drove me back to the shop to pick up my vehicle so that I did not miss a Zoom meeting. And the price was truly more than fair! If any business is deserving of five stars, it is this one. I will be back.

Garage operated by smart people.

After years of searching for a reliable, trustworthy, and experienced mechanic, I finally found my place. Ted (the owner) got back to me right away after having left a message. When I brought my car in, Eddie inspected it thouroughly and honestly told me the work I should have done in the future, without exaggerating the timeframe. I had originally brought in for a quote on brake pads and rotors and he said my brake pads were relatively new, and I should get rotors soon, but they still had life left. He didnt tell me I needed 4 sets of brake pads and rotors, like the crooks I went to prior!!! Eddies diagnostic skills are SPOT ON! Im so relieved I found a place I can trust! Grateful times 100!!!!! THANKS!!!

Great customer service and great work, I won’t take my vehicle anywhere else!!!!

I had a squeak coming from one of my wheels and wanted to find a new, more HONEST repair shop. (The last place I went to kept finding expensive repairs that may or may not have really needed to be done. ) Looked at the stellar reviews for All Automotive and saw it was near me. I called Ted and made an appt the first thing this morning for him to take a look.I came in and Eddie helped me right away. We took the car for a short drive to find the squeak while we talked about what it might be. He said the brake pads looked pretty good so it wasnt that. I told him that my last mechanic probably wouldve try to sell me new brakes. Eddie then told me a story of how they saved a customer from a $1400 exhaust system repair from another shop. He said that there wasnt anything in the exhaust system that should cost that much. It turned out to be a missing $1 clip on the gas line.We got back to the shop and Eddie took off my tire and found the problem. A little rust had formed on the rim of my brake and it was rubbing on something. He chipped a bit off while I watched. It wasnt doing any harm and he said that eventually the rust would wear away and fall off by itself. (The one time ignoring a problem really would make it go away.)I asked Eddie how much I owed them. He spent a solid half hour with me, found the problem, and eased my mind. Eddie checked with Ted, and Ted came out and said Youre good to go! I couldnt believe how kind and generous that was!!! He said just bring my car back next time I need some work. I think I finally found a repair shop I can trust!Just one note: Their shop is off an alleyway in some converted garages. It is not fancy. It doesnt seem to have a waiting area and there is no fancy Keurig to dispense the beverage of your choice. (Although there is a McDs across the street.) It has the cluttered, grungy look of a place where 2 hard-working honest mechanics, who have to keep a mental inventory of where they last laid their tools, do their best to help folks in need. I dont think anyone could go wrong taking their car to Ted and Eddie.

Ted has worked on our cars for years, because hes honest and fair. Very often we have NOT actually needed the repairs recommended by other shops! And Eddie is also a very talented mechanic.

Toyotas are reliable cars... unless you live in pothole and salt-laden Chicago. After a routine oil change at the local dealer and an inspection by their staff, they told me I had an exhaust issue that would have made me fail the inspection test, leaking coolant, bad fluids, failing spark plugs, and a few broken lights. Cost of repair? More than the car is worth. Time to fix? A few days. Fast forward a few days and Im trying to decide if I want to scrap the car or get it fixed, and I get Teds number from a work colleague. He not only looks at my car for free the same day, but also gives me a call during my workday, describes the issues, charges a more than reasonable price (about 1/4th of what Toyota would have charged), AND GETS ME BACK THE CAR THE SAME NIGHT. Ive never heard my car run so perfectly the first time I turned the engine on!A few weeks later, I realize my license plate light is out, and changing the bulb myself still doesnt get it to turn on. I dont hesitate and go straight to Ted. He shows me that the wires to my bulb lining the trunk are frayed, and has me in and out in less than 15 minutes. $45 and 15 minutes of my time is both cheaper and faster than getting pulled over by Chicago PD.Thanks Ted - youll be my first (and only) call for all my auto repairs!
