My car broke down on the side of the road one night. I got it towed to Eliot’s shop that night, and by 9am the next morning, Eliot had already diagnosed the problem and called me to inform me of the cost and to ask if I wanted to proceed. Price was reasonable, but i had several major repairs needed. Eliot had finished it by the afternoon. I was so impressed with the quick, quality service and professionalism of Eliot. I will be recommending him to others.

I had a nail puncture my back left tire during my commute to work. I live near Eliot’s Auto so out of convenience, I stopped in to see what they could do. Within 2 hours, Eliot’s team repaired my tire. The team is professional and timely and their work is done well. Just recently, my tire pressure light came on so I popped back over to have them check my air levels and without hesitation, Eliot told me to drive on in. 10/10 recommend Eliot’s Auto!

Eliot and his team were so helpful and friendly. They took care of my car as if it was their own and it was a judgement free zone! He explained everything that was wrong in a way I understood and I felt confident leaving it in their hands. I also knew I was getting the best price. Just like their logo says…finally a trustworthy mechanic! They are surely a diamond in the ruff and I cannot be more grateful that I found their services. They will now be the only mechanic I go to for my car needs!!

I went to Eliot’s auto repair shop for an oil change and was impressed with how welcoming and knowledgeable the owner Eliot is. They did great work and recommended additional work for my car, but were honest about the non-urgency of these items. I would definitely go back for other auto work and will recommend to others as well.

Eliot was amazing. My AC had stopped working a couple weeks ago, so I took it into the dealer to get it looked at. The dealer said it would be at least $1000 dollars and a couple weeks to fix it, so I took it to Eliot and he fixed it in an hour for ~$150. I’ll be going to Eliot for any car troubles in the future

Had an issue with my AC which i thought all that was required was an AC recharge. Brought it in to Eliot and he performed a full inspection and realized there was a leak.While the cost for the recharge itself was a bit more than a typical Jiffy Lube recharge, without Eliot and his staffs thorough inspection (included in the price), I would still have the leak that he repaired. Great work for a reasonable price. Highly Recommend! Thanks Eliot!

Brought my truck in to have a misfire diagnosed. Eliot told me the repair needed to be an engine swap. I was far from home so he recommended it I get it done in my area, which was a nice customer-first suggestion.Few days later I got the advice to check my fuel injector, and the cause of the misfire was a faulty electrical connector on that cylinder’s injector. Replaced the connector and cleaned the injector and the engine is purring. No codes, no problems. Took me 20 minutes to pull apart my fuel rail and find that problem. Would’ve happily paid for the time if I had been given the correct diagnosis.So that’s thousands of dollars for an engine swap vs. a $10 part + time. Emailed about it via their website, no reply, big surprise.Props for being straight-up and quick same-day service. But the estimate was completely off the mark in a pretty extreme way, and no follow up. I guess being honest isn’t the same as being good.

I was in a bind with a flat tire. I had my car towed to Eliot’s because it’s close to me. I suspected they would replace the tire and charge me hundreds of dollars. Not the case. I walked in and Eliot was very pleasant. He fixed my car within a couple of hours and charged me $25. I was taken aback by his honesty and professionalism. Highly recommend.

They left the air filter sitting on the engine. My wife called first and was quoted a much higher price than me. They also changed out car settings. When leaving they told us were on a dangerous tires and said we needed to replace one that other mechanics told us are fine. On top of that they said we need to switch both front tires and the other tire was brand new.

I completely trust Eliots with my car. I have used them twice now. Once to repair an old battery and another time to replace my catalytic converter. Both times they were quick to answer my calls and give me updates on my car. They have good prices and great quality service. I will definitely be using them for all of my car needs!

Review №12

I had a rattle in my car that I was concerned with. When I arrived at Eliot’s the staff listened to what my concerns were and were able to let me know what they thought the issue might be, the timing on how long it would take to fix and the estimated cost if their analysis of the issue was correct. I also appreciated the time estimate and that the staff also knew a local place I could work while waiting for the repair. The time estimate and pricing were spot on. I will definitely return to Eliot’s should my car have any issues in the future.

I have taken my car to Eliot’s Auto since 2007. He really gives you an honest breakdown of what your car needs immediately, what it will need soon but not right away, and what’s optional. I never feel like I’m getting ripped off or told to do unnecessary work to my car, which I always felt at other places. He offers free loaner cars if you schedule a drop off in advance, and has even done free inspections for me before long road trips! I highly recommended Eliot’s Auto.

Eliot was fantastic and fast. I had to have my passenger side window replaced due to a break in and the starter replaced. He had both done within 5 hours and allowed me to use a loanetso I could be at work while the work was being completed. Eliot was professional and easy to work with and followed up a few days later to make sure I was satisfied with the repair (which I was)! His prices were very reasonable.

My experience at Eliots shop was great! I am a young woman who doesnt have a lot of experience with cars, so going to an honest mechanic was very important to me (as it is for most people!). Eliot helped repair my tire and did an oil change at a great price. He was very informative and happy to answer any of my questions about other recommendations he had for my car. I will be going back to him in the future to get some of that work done. Great neighborhood mechanic. Thanks, Eliot!

Review №23

Such great service. Eliot was incredibly helpful in organizing a towing service to get my vehicle to the shop, and was very quick to diagnose the issue. Gave very fair pricing on the issue and had my vehicle back to me quickly. Never felt concerned they were trying to upcharge, find things that werent really wrong, or overcharging. Even a few days after the fix, Eliot personally texted me to make sure everything was running smoothly and I was still happy. 100% would use Eliots again.

This is a fantastic auto repair shop. Work is completed always in a timely manner and professionally executed. What I love most about this place is that I trust the owner not to recommend something unnecessary. He’s an honest guy and I love that I am to support a small local business. This past visit he lent me a rental no charge while he worked on my car which took the stress out of missing any appointments to get my car fixed. On my prior visit, I went in to get new breaks as a technician at jiffy lube ( which is next to my house and I sometimes use for a quick oil change) insisted I needed new breaks. I brought the car to Eliot’s Auto to do the work and he checked out the situation and honestly let me know the breaks were fine and looked like they had another 6 months on them ( which they did!) That kind of honesty and professionalism is why I will continue to go to this repair shop. Highly recommended!!!!!

Ive been taking my car to Eliots for several years and always had a great experience. If youve gone to a dealership for service, make sure you go see Eliot before they do any work! Hell tell you honestly what needs to be done and give you a fair price for the work. For everything from regular maintenance, to install/replacement of parts Ive needed, to getting new tires, Ive always driven away knowing I got high quality work. Highly recommend!

Eliot was fantastic! We took in the car for the first time for routine maintenance and check up. When I had taken it the dealer, they had said we needed a ton of work. Eliot got us in quickly, was super professional and friendly, and honestly told us what was needed. I would trust going to him and would recommend this shop to anyone. Thanks for the excellent service Eliot!

I like when the guy whos name is on the sign is also at the front desk. Eliot will tell you what your car needs and fix is for a competitive price. I Had my front and rear differential fluids changed as well as transfer case fluids. Also installed new shocks. They work quickly and so far the truck is riding great, 4x4 performing perfect. Will return and recommend to friends.

Stay away. Dishonest and scammed us. We paid thousands to get the car fixed. Brought it in three times and still didnt solve problem. Admitted after the fact that he didnt have experience with the specific work he did on car. Agreed after I pitched a fit that he would give us money back for labor and never did. Unless you have money to burn, I would steer clear from this place. Lesson learned. If I could give zero stars, I would.My response to your response on 11/19.You are lying.

Review №41

We used Eliot years ago with our VW and then we got a new car where it seemed like you had to go to that dealer because everything was so high tech and complicated. At some point I reached out to Eliot to ask him to install a bike rack for us. After talking with him it became clear that he could do everything the dealer could for about half the price! Now we go to him. The work is well-done, his prices are reasonable, and he’s located just steps from the brown line. So convenient!

Review №42

Such a great job and from my dealings, never out to scam you. Going to my car dealer, they add up a lot of jobs that they deem important and need attention. So, I check with Eliot and he sites some good logic about what needs attention and what does not. This has saved me a lot of time and money!

Review №43

Eliot really struck me as a genuine guy. He was more timely in keeping me updated on the status of the repairs than I ever would have expected, and he was incredibly speedy at making the repairs. The price was very reasonable too.He warned me about a few other repairs I will need to make in the near future, but made absolutely no attempt to up sell me on anything. He even reassured me that, for the purposes I use my car for, I won’t have to worry about it for awhile.I wasn’t able to pick up my car before they closed, but he stayed late so I could still pick it up the same day.I’ll definitely be going back when I need to. This is how business should be done— generously establishing a trustworthy relationship for the long run instead of squeezing out money in the short run.I approach car repairs with a healthy amount of skepticism because I’ve been burned before. I also almost never leave internet review.

Being new to the Chicago area, it can be hard not knowing where to take your car. Eliot’s Auto has now helped me with my car multiple times since moving here (very old car and has needed some repairs and updates lately), and I always have a very positive experience. Eliot is extremely friendly and helpful, as well as responsive and tries to give you the best deal possible. I would absolutely recommend anyone to take their car to this auto shop, you won’t regret it. Thank you Eliot, and all your employees, for making my life easier! I will be back again.

Ive been here twice now (with two different cars) and both times the repairs (brakes) were done well and on time and I was charged what I consider to be a fair price. Also, Ive heard Eliot talking with other customers and Ive heard what they had to say to him regarding the work that was done on their cars. Based on my experience and observations I am giving Eliots Auto Repair a 5 Star Yelp Review.

The first time I dealt with Eliot was great though that was some years ago. I live south, so to tow my van there was some money. I get it the and when Elliot calls me to tell me about my van he has an attitude. I guess my van wasnt good enough for him to repair. He called me to tell me my car was not doing anything and to come get it. Thought you were a mechanic. The battery had died while it was in neutral for the long haul from southside to far northside. But he says its doing nothing. The tow truck who came and got it. Did me one favor before a gave it to him. He put a jumper on the battery and the car didnt start but it did try to turn over. Eliot didnt even try charge the battery, which even an alley mechanic would do. I guess because my van was a little old and I took out the driver side lock and inside door panel to get a key made cause I lost it, he just didnt want to work it cause hes to good to do it. FYI Mr. Eliot I would have paid whatever it cost to fix it. Just because I have color dont mean I dont have money. Have a great time would never recommend anyone to go there.Ron

I recently took my 2008 Nissan Sentra here, and I couldn’t be happier about my decision! I’ve had my car since high school and I LOVE my baby, but she needed quite a bit of work done due to lack of maintenance on my part. I left my car with them as we waited for parts to come in, and they kept me updated regularly. Now my baby’s driving like it’s 2008 again! So grateful!

Ive been going to Eliot for 7 years now. He always has time to explain my cars needs to me, he is honest, not condescending and clearly values professionalism. 6 months ago, my old Jeep didnt pass emissions inspection, and rather than take the many thousands of dollars it would have cost for him to do the necessary repairs, he convinced me to just get a new car. I have a lot of respect for that.

2nd Update: Eliot’s excellent work continues! Another oil change and safety inspection done promptly and properly, and with the free loaner car I was able to get my care done and keep my appts.1st Update: I knew when I bought my car that I needed shocks and struts and after speaking with six shops I decided to stick with Eliot. He tells you straight and clearly exactly what is what and how long he expects it to take and provides a good estimate. Eliot was not the cheapest estimate, but he gave me the most confidence in that selecting his shop would be a good thing...AND...the job went well and took less time than expected and he passed that labour savings on to me. It is now as if I was driving a new car and not a 2008. Choosing Eliot’s shop would be one of the best decisions you can make and I plan on having them work on my car as needed. Thank you Eliot, very well done indeed!!1st Review: I first spoke with Eliot about getting a used car inspection and with tact and detailed info he helped me see what was what and I walked away from that one. Then after I purchased a new to me Nissan I brought it in for a new battery, oil change and a check-up. Everything was done well, based upon car data and age he recommended the radiator hoses be replaced and I had the coolant system flushed at the same time. There a couple more things to be done later on but after discussing everything with Eliot I feel confident that I have the safe and reliable commuter car I needed. Eliot is not just an excellent mechanic, but a gifted teacher as well. It is comforting to have found an excellent place to take my car for maintenance. Thank you Eliot!!

I’ve been coming to Eliot since 2008. I have had 2 cars during that time and he has always been good to my cars. I tired to go to another “reputable” (based on old reviews) mechanic and got taken for a ride. It makes one value integrity in ones mechanic. He just fixed an electrical problem in my car and changed the oil this week. I won’t be taking my car to anyone else despite living much further away from his shop.

I am so glad to have found Eliot’s shop! I went to another repair shop near by who was not very friendly and almost double the price. When I called to get an estimate Carlos was very friendly on the phone and when I arrived with me car he was very accommodating! The pricing here is very competitive, the service was prompt and they gave me a loaner vehicle while I waited! I definitely will be taking my car here again if it needs further work. They helped me with my brakes, a punctured tire and an outer tie rod and I am so pleased with the service! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for honest, high quality auto repair!

Eliots Auto is truly what he advertises, an honest repair shop! I knew someone who had worked with them before, I saw he had great reviews overall (when dealing with the public, you cant make everyone happy for sure), saw a groupon and tried him out. What a great experience. Later I had gone to the dealer for an estimate of repairs that I assumed would be covered under warranty, well one was, and then they gave me a laundry list of other suggested repairs for hundreds of dollars, when my car only had 35,000 miles on it. took it to Eliot, he said they were crazy, recommended only a couple things that needed attention and saved me hundreds of dollars.If you are in the north side or even the loop, here in the city, I highly recommend using Eliots Complete Auto Repair for all of your car repair needs. He is fantastic.P.S. He is located right at the Brown line stop at Addison and even has loaners I believe if you really need a car, so coordination is a breeze. .

Honesty & Convenience!My car broke down in a parking lot one evening. The next morning I made a call to Eliot. He arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my vehicle in 40 minutes. The tow truck arrived on time and gave me a ride with my vehicle to Eliots. Eliot set me up with a loaner car while they set to work finding out what was wrong with mine. Within an hour I receive a phone call telling me what they discovered and gives me the price for the repair. If a part is needed, he will tell me my options. If they find more than one issue, he will let me know what needs to be done immediately and what can be delayed. I decide what and how much I would like to have done. After I give them the go ahead, I receive a phone call when my car is ready to be picked up. Before the end of the work day, I return the loaner car and pick up my vehicle. You cant find convenience like this in just any shop!They are also located next to a train stop. So, my husband will take his car in when needed, take the train to work and pick up his car on the way home. No more waiting to find a good day to get your car maintained.

Review №88

Only for the fans of reverse psychologyEliot is a pretty artful guy at cornering you. And probably his trainees as well. You walk in with one flat tire, they usually point out that that is not the only problem with the car. There are several problems. The car is having issues with a) other tires b) the axle c) the rim d) the oil e) brake or engine-related stuff. If the conversation goes person to person, theyll give you the kind approach. You wont get charged for this one thing, you will only get charged if that and that. And the stuff that they need to address it not emergent, but itd be wise to address the matters. If they arent an emergency right now, they will be.If the conversation occurs over the phone, they will approach it like: we were working on your stuff and weve just discovered that... And its bad! You should think about it. You ask: how much? - Well, so and so. Of course, you get suspicious: are you guys ripping me off? - No, we just want you to be safe. Since a) winter is coming b) this is a family car, not just your vehicle c) theres a reason the car is here, damage is started, it hopefully lead us to other important discoveries in the life of your car. And the life of your car is yours. And on and on, reverse psychology applied. At the end of it all: a huge bill (around $ 500 in my case) for two tires and other unidentifiable materials. I mean, who can guarantee you the stuff thats claimed to be changed is new, the handwork is actually handwork, not a little cleaning on the top and so on?Eliot knows whats valuable about his shop: location, classic American-like demeanor, attention to the customer. He knows it and exploits the heck out of it. And once the bill comes, out of you!

Eliot is a good guy as well as a good local business and mechanic. This was the first time i used him, but he has worked with my girl for years. She has nothing but great things to say about her experiences. Now it is the same for me.Yesterday I went to a auto repair shop down the block that I have used a few times. I thought I needed brakes, so I had them take a look. They are conveniently located so I can walk back and forth. They are a well established business with multiple locations. . They looked at my car (37k miles) and told me that I needed all my brakes done asap, as the pads were worn down to a dangerous level and that the rotors needed replacing also. $1150 quote, and they made me an offer of $890 if I did it then. I was shocked. So I called Eliot.This morning I took it to Eliot to look at and get a quote. He inspected them and told me I did not need brakes at all. There is plenty of brake pad left and absolutley no problems. He knew I had thought I needed brakes, and did not try to take advantage of that fact. He told me I needed air filters and my battery cleaned, otherwise the care was fine.If you need auto repair, go to Eliot and you will be treated fairly and he will tell you the truth. His work is good if you need it, and if you are lucky you might not need as much as you were told like me.

I was a little skeptical going to a Mom and Pop down the road, but I received a coupon in the mail and thought Id check Eliots out. I had gotten a quote from my dealership and Sears for replacing all my brakes and pads and Eliots beat both of them. I dropped the car off in the morning and it was ready that afternoon. Pleasure to deal with Eliot, he was super nice and called me with all the updates. Id Highly recommend using Eliots as he does as great job and youre supporting Local.

Excellent service and fair prices (far below those of dealer repair shops). Whenever our service contracts expire on our cars, we start taking them to Eliots. Were always satisfied with his shops work.

I was able to get in very quickly. He was very honest in what could be done for my car. He charged less than the estimate was for.
