First time visitor. I stopped in because front turn signal light was out and hard to get at so Rich said let me take a look. He took the car in the shop and pulled it back around in 10 minutes fixed! The charge was $5.00 for the bulb and I asked him if I could pay him for his time or buy him a coffee and he said absolutely not! Good old fashioned customer service! Also, I was visiting with a gentleman that was also there and he said he had been taking his cars to Rouse’s for 30 years! Tough to find that kind of customer loyalty today but after meeting Rich today I can understand why!
Rich and Jim are two of the hardest working people I know. I have been going there for 40 years and they are always looking out for my best interests. I trust them and there opinions and I have never been disappointed. They deliver excellent quality at a fair and reasonable price.When I go there, I am confident that I will receive an excellent end result from a small business that has high integrity. They are simply the best!
They installed a hitch and light kit to my new car. They did an excellent job and considerably less than the dealer price.
Rich quoted me a good price on the phone. The install didnt goes as planned (not his fault, and it happens sometimes). Rich ended up taking a lot more time than he quoted, but he still changed me the same price! Will use them again in a heart beat.
Awesome. Enough said.
Unfortunately, I had a poor experience with Rouses Auto Repair.I called in for a quote to install a hitch on my Honda Civic. I was given a quote, told that all the items are in stock. We scheduled a day for me to drop off the car early in the morning (7:00 am).1. Although the door was open, there was no-one at the front desk. I had to wait 15 minutes in the lobby before anyone talked to me.2. The person who talked to me over the phone earlier gave me a quote for an incorrect car model. He thought I was calling about a Honda CRV.3. They did not have a hitch for Civic in stock, so they asked me to reschedule and asked to expect a call back with a new quote. I never received a follow-up call from them.4. When I was leaving, I found that my car, which was parked in their lot, was boxed in by one of their employees. I had to wait another 10 minutes or so just to be able to leave.One positive aspect of this encounter was that the person I talked to at the front desk was eager to discuss the structural differences between the 2 and 1.25 hitches. He seemed passionate and knowledgeable about the tech, but clearly lacking in organization skills.
So Ive recently moved to the area. I was not familiar with any local auto shops. So I am beyond fortunate to have found this one. Not only were they honest about my SUV and the work needing to be repaired, but they went above and beyond with borrowing me a rental car . I feel that there prices are fair and their customer service is amazing. I will definitely go back to this place.
Rouses is fantastic! Honest & always so helpful
Rouses Auto Repair never fails to provide me quality service with integrity. After the recent arctic weather, Rich helped me track down a hard-to-find car battery, had it within 24 hours of my request, and worked some serious overtime on a Friday night to get my car finished before I needed it. Look no further if you are looking for reputable, top-notch auto repair service.
Honest establishment. Very conscientious. Has always done a good job on repairs over the years without over selling.
Great pricing and great and honest people. Also a plus is the putting mat upstairs.
I want to make sure to mention: there is a BUZZER on the counter - you must push it so they know you are there. Also, when working over the phone it workd wonders to ask the other party to repeat the notes 😉Rich, Jim and the other wonderful Vehicle Technicians here at Rouses have saved my old 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS and 2004 Toyota Rav4 L. I didnt know where to take my vehicles so I decided to try one of the oldest names in car service here in Libertyville - Rouses. They offer competitive rates, knowledgeable vehicle technicians and they are trustworthy. Rouses will fix your vehicle and provide you with peace of mind. You can even ask if they have a loaner vehicle. 🙂Theyve fixed a timing beltAddressed exhaust concernReplaced spark plugs and gasketsOil changesThey are patient and friendly. I highly recommend this wonderful establishment.
Great service on my sons Civic! Got it to pass emissions at a great price. The guys there are courteous and know their stuff.
Very nice and engaging. I couldnt figure out what was wrong and so they put it on the lift and checked everything. Since we couldnt pin point what it was rich didnt charge me anything for the check which normally you would have to pay elsewhere. It was there for a few hours. Will go back because of honesty and integrity
Dont trust a lot of places. Being a female with an older vehicle, I tend to get a lot who try to rip me off. Had my breaks done and now tune up. So far so good.
Always great to
We had a customer service issue a few weeks ago but they came to our house to apologize. That means a lot. They have provided great service for us for many years. They have earned back our business.
The best place to get your car fixed.
I had been with the same mechanic for the last 12 years that Ive lived in Grayslake untilI found this place. I bought a car from a friend who used to take it to Rouses so I figured Id give them a shot being that they took care of her car for so long and her familys cars for so long. So this is what I found out. Hands down they were courteous, friendly, did an excellent job, they quoted me a time and they were done by the time that they quoted me. They are straight shooters over there! Plus the bonus was the price was right! So thanks Richie and Jim for being so helpful Uganda customer for life!
Very nice people here.
Would never have found it if someone hadnt recommended it to me. Great service. Fair prices.
The breathalyzer that was installed in my car caused a communication error and it made me not be able to turn off my car. This was caused by the breathalyzer that Rouses had installed my car was then taken to a Chevy dealership where no one found anything wrong because he took out the breathalyzer so they cannot troubleshoot the issue.so I came to pick up my car after I got the breathalyzer installed so I can Have it looked at while the breathalyzer is installed. I look inside my car the next day and theres dirty fingerprints all over and in my brand new 2017 Chevy Cruz I am only averaging 10 miles per gallon.they were trying to aggressively drive my car to see what the issue was. There are also dirty oil fingerprints all over the inside of my car from the door to the steering well to my radio. He then tried to get me to pay money for gas he had to put in my car but I left him with a quarter tank in my car averages 40 miles per gallon.he never found out what the issue was and then expected me to give him money for the gas He put my car form aggressively driving I would never recommend anyone to go there.
Easily the best mechanics in lake county. They are very open and honest about what they are doing with your car and dont pressure you in to getting unnecessary work done
Very reasonable rates and never upsell. Honest and thorough.
Excellent trustworthy mechanics.
I cant recommend this shop enough. After I had engine trouble, Rich went far out of his way to find discounted parts, to allow me to bring the car in and out of the shop between needed repairs, and to keep me informed every step of the way. Above and beyond in every possible respect!
I cant comment on their work because I was asked to leave because it was Richards lunce hour and he had no interest in servicing any customer at this time. I was asked to leave and come back some other time
Richard has always been one of the nicest people to work with. Jim as well. Expensive.
Consistently dependable and honest. Good people who care about your car and their customers.
Great customer service! Excellent craftsmanship!
Hitch-n-go says it all. Great price, great service.
Very nice guys work there.
Owner Rich was talking rude to me. I am not sure why. Maybe because I had an accent. People cannot be treated like s---t, I am sorry. I wont go there ever.
Had my deceased parents vehicle repaired there.
They brought my 2002 Golf back from the dead.
Really helpful and fare
