These guys are amazing. I normally go for an oil change and they always are able to find a time during the day for me to come in. Additionally, I had to get my alternator / belt fixed and they quoted me a very fair price (basically close to cost for the parts + labor). Im no longer in the area, but for anyone looking for car service, these guys are great.

This place is straight to the point get it to be. No BS here. Good people. Fast and affordable. Glad I found this place. Mecha ics were really nice. Will come back. A hidden gem in Niles.

They took me on Friday afternoon as a walk in customer when all the competition said, “make an appointment and come back on Monday.” They changed my oil in 15 minutes and I was ready to go. Thank you guys! You have a new loyal customer and I hoped you enjoyed the cookies 😊

Very professional, friendly and decent prices. I’m so glad that I finally found one good and honest mechanic shop in my area. I would recommend this place to anyone that really cares about their cars

Our family has been going to Andy over 15 years. He has knowledgeable mechanics and his prices are always fair.

Great place. Professional and no frills. Always a good experience. Thank you!

Super fast service, very affordable rates.

It was quick and easy. I just drove inv told the guy I needed an oil change and about 10 minutes later I was done and ready to pay and leave. I mean it was your normal jiffy lube type of oil change nothing special. I would definetly go their again the next time I need an oil change. It was convient for me, close to my house and fast thats all you can expect.

Always polite and professional. They get the job done the right way one would expect from a highly skilled technician. 🤠

First time I ever went there I was treated like a regular. Highly recommended. Thanks Andy!

Ive been going to Grendels for years; way before they became grendels. Years ago I went to Addison Laramie shell and then they moved out to Niles and then they moved further down the street and they became grendels. add up all the times Ive been going to people who came from Addison Laramie shell and its probably about 30 years. They do excellent work theyre honest and their prices are reasonable. Paul Edison

Always excellent service!

My neighbor recommended Andy and I can see why. Had my car towed there. He spent a lot of time diagnosing the issues and advised me to take it to dealer as it could be covered. He only charged me for an oil change. He is really honest and gave me good advice.

I stopped here for an oil change last week with no appointment. They did a great job checking and cleaning the parts involved in the process. They even replaced the drain plug which was getting worn down (thread). The owner ordered it and just charged me for what he got it for, no additional charge. This place will not take advantage of their customers. I just found my oil change spot and maybe car repair shop. Highly recommended.

Came for an oil change. Brought my own oil and filter and was promptly told it was $8 cheaper which was a surprise I did not expect. I watched the guy doing my oil change the entire time and he was very careful with everything he was doing, even closing my door for example (no slamming shut). Im not very trusting of my car so I was nervous the entire time but I slowly relaxed when I saw it was in good hands. Was in and out in 10 minutes. Tried giving the guy at the counter an extra $5 and he refused and told me to give it to the guys doing the oil change. Just quick and simple the way it should be. Id go again.

Nice honest place to do business with. Ill be back

Honest service best prices Andy the owner is a great guy

This business operates with great integrity. My experience was fast, quality, and pleasant. I would highly recommend, and will definitely be coming back. Thanks!

Great customer service. Friendly staff. Fast. Cheap. Been coming here for years. They make you feel like they care about you as a customer and about their community

Andy is a very honest man and has good prices for car services.

This is the only place our family will go to for oil changes and repairs when one of our vehicles is in need of attention.I cannot trust other shops because I have been burned, but I know Andy and his team will provide honest feedback on parts and services. We have been going to Grendel’s for years. 🙂

Efficient, superior knowledge, reasonably priced. Excellent customer service. Honest to a fault. What more can you ask for in a mechanic??? Andy is the BEST.

Awesome service very knowledgeable, family has gone for years. Andy is great.

You get your car in early, in most cases it will be fixed the same day. Good job, reasonablely priced. Andy the owner will check you in & also work on your car.

Good man and very honest. He knows his stuff and does great work at fair prices. He’s been doing work to my work car and my wife’s car for years now and no problems.

I came in on Tuesday (yesterday) when the Chicago cold lows (-11 degrees) were settling in. My tires were low on air and all gas stations air pumps were out of service. I called Grendels as they were the closest shop on my way home, and they were able to fill my tires up. They were nice and Im glad they did me a favor given the weather conditions. Thanks guys stay warm.

I brought my car in today to fix my brakes and some other things for my car, the man I spoke to wasnt trying to get me to pay for things I didnt need. Not only that, the shop also fixed my light which I didnt ask for for free because it was going out. I wasnt aware of of the light but am thankful for them fixing it. Also, the fixed my car quick which is amazing. Best prices and best work by far! Absolutely will be my permanent mechanic!

Honest, affordable and knowledgeable

Just left Grendels, and I have never before in my life left an oil change with an actual smile on my face. I was literally in and out in under 15 minutes, the gentlemen in the service shop were polite, topped off all my fluids and even aired up my tires for me. And the price was beyond reasonable! Very happy I found this little gem. I manage an apartment community in the area, and will definitely recommend it to my residents, and anybody else looking for great service for their routine vehicle maintenance. Thanks guys!

Very honest place for car repair. Highly recommended

Minutes from my home, lots of competition around but this is the only place I trust. Quick service. Honest prices. Great crew. If you need an oil change or any work on your car I recommend this place.

Go there with all my familys cars! Andy and Staff are AWESOME! Great work at a reasonable price!

I have been coming there for years to get oil changes and now I use them for auto repairs too, so glad they expanded into that business (new owner, previous one was great too, just retired). I recommend this place, they are honest, quick, and very good and knowledgeable and very reasonable in costs. They found a fault in a drivers front ball joint that the dealer did not, which would have caused my wheel to fall off! They showed me the crack, again they are honest. My car has 148,000 miles and hope to make it to 200,000. I think I will with their help.

Friendly. They do good work quickly. Prices are reasonable.

I have a bad experience with Andy! He didn’t want to work in my car because it’s gonna take a lot of work! I went to him three times, each time he says the car is gonna have a lot of work, the first time I thought that he is right but second time I went on the time he asked me he created stories that he has a lot of cars to fix and that my car needs a lot of work, third time I left the car for 24 hours then he called me saying that the car doesn’t have any problem, I took the car and it has the same problem, I went to him before opening the workshop he started to say the same things about that the car needs a lot of work and he has to remove a lot of parts to reach the piece he needs to work in it. Finally I took my car I went to my dealer actually they check it and fixed through one hour.This guy not helpful at all and he just wants to get quick money from the easy quick service!

Customer service is amazing at Grendels! Andy and his team are so trustworthy and will always have my business.

Needed mechanical work done on a previously owned vehicle. Couldnt have been done faster! Andy and his staff treated me with respect and were more than fair with pricing. Andy was able to diagnose and repair what the dealer could not do! I do highly recommend his services and when asked for a referral this is who I recommend.

This is the best place you ever find to get your oil changed, mechanical work, breaks you name it will help you with it. They are honest, professional and you will be sending all your family and friends here. Andy and his crew are the best

Great place for oil changes and auto repairs.

Get in and get out. This place is good for oil changes because theyre fast and its never too busy. Also they dont try and get you with buy this and buy that. Everything is straight forward.

Great service. Very professional and helpful.

Great service fair prices. Highly recommend these guys.

Fast and much more important trustworthty. More than a few times they have taken the time to answer a question or take a quick look at my car and did not charge me when others would have tried to charge me for an inspection. They have earned our business for life.

Fast efficient service and reasonable prices. Thank you

Love Andy & team!!

The most honest people in the industry- highly recommended

Fast and professional!

Fastest service ever. Immediately drove into bay and 20 mins later I was going home. Ill never waste 2 hours on dealership oil change again. No upsell just like the other reviewers stated.

Called in for brake service at three. Got it done by five. Quick service and helpful staff. Cheapest brake service I’ve gotten.

Fast service with fair price. Im definitely coming back for my next oil change and/or other service my car would need.

Andy, the owner of Grendels Raid Oil Change is a very honest mechanic. Highly recommend him.
