Glad I saw your sign while driving by. My 2009 Camry needed a decent amount of work done. Spark plugs, right axle, brake fluid and wheels alignment. Saw they had a 10% discount for Healthcare workers got me interested. Looked up Elmhurst auto care online and requested a quote. Ed gave me several quotes very quickly for the work my Camry needed. I dropped off my Camry at 8 am and the extensive work was done by 2 pm. Ed was professional and courteous and really enjoyed Elmhurst Auto Care. I would easily recommend Elmhurst Auto Care and will be returning in the future.
EAC is the absolute BEST! I’d give them 12 stars if I could. I feel so lucky to have found this place. Brad is always so kind and he had the most honest shop in town. My dad was a mechanic and so I’m picky, too. ☺️
Highly recommend Elmhurst Auto CareThey did excellent job fixing my Prius with proper parts and process (hybrids sometimes need to be fixed differently than gas cars and not every body shop knows this). I called several places for needed repair and they had the best price. Also, after I brought my car for an estimate they told me what to ask for and what to pay attention to if I decide to get it done somewhere else. Thats honesty to the fullest!!
Great team and Great experience!Ed is incredibly professional and took care of us quickly to get us back on the road. He had a tow truck service hall our company van back to his shop with in minutes of our phone conversation. He then diagnosed and replaced a starter motor to get us up and running. He showed me the part that he replaced which was pretty cool to see and explained what went bad. Very prompt and fair priced!I would 100% recommend calling Ed and his team for your vehicle repairs.
Extremely satisfied with what was explained to me and what was needed to be fixed. Definitely be coming back for all my truck needs
Absolutely the best in town. Been taking my cars for service here for over 20 years and always have been taking care of. Never feel like they are trying to sell you a bill of goods. I would defiantly recommend Elmhurst Auto Care for all of your mechanical needs.
I visited the shop a few days ago and will absolutely recommend this shop for anyone in need of car repairs/maintenance. Im a pretty socially anxious person and these situations can be very intimidating, but Ed was so friendly and accommodating that I left feeling relieved and valued as a customer. He made sure to take the time to help me become well-informed about my car. Thank you for your excellent customer service, Ed!
I contacted Elmhurst Auto Care for a pre-purchase inspection on a used car. I was coming from out of state. Not only was the price extremely reasonable, but communication was excellent and Ed went above and beyond to collect the car from the dealership. Then he called me on the phone and walked me through everything on the report, which he also emailed to me.Right after I purchased the car a few days later, they changed a bad serpentine belt and balanced the tires. In and out in 45 minutes! Friendly, professional, thorough, and accommodating! Highly recommend.
The owner of this place is a good guy who I know helped out his elderly neighbors with their car, even on his own time. 👍
Outstanding service. My truck runs like new. They are very honest and will let you know exactly what you need and what you don’t need. Great job guys!!
These guys totally deserve their 5-star rating! I recently had Elmhurst Auto Care do a pre-purchase inspection on a car from a local used car lot. It seemed like a good deal on paper for the price and mileage, and had a clean Carfax, too. They found that, at a minimum, Id need to spend at least $1500 to replace the tires and brakes, and it had a TON of other issues besides that. The full estimate to fix all the immediate issues they found with the car came to an eye-popping $2800!They also found some weird discrepancies with the cars on-board diagnostics that couldve easily led to thousands more on top of that! The pre-purchase inspection cost me $90, an outright BARGAIN compared to the financial disaster I wouldve had on my hands if Id actually bought the car! Huge thanks to Elmhurst Auto Care for helping me avoid that nightmare!
Ed and his team are very efficient and do great work. Whenever there is a repair needed, he explains in detail what went wrong and has competitive pricing.Highly recommended!
Great service by Ed!!A true craftsman!
I have been a customer for a few years now. We take all our vehicle to Elmhurst Auto Care. They are very professional, efficient and always do top notch work. I find them very honest and fairly priced. I recommend them often without any problem.
Needed an oil change and to have my car just looked over for a wellness check of sorts since moving to the area. Received thorough and honest feedback about my vehicle. I was given a few estimates for repairs that they recommended and how to save money on those repairs. The waiting area was very nice as well even though they did everything in a very reasonable amount of time so I did not have to stay long. Only good things to say!
We came here for a used car evaluation from a local car dealer who wanted us to stay within a certain time limit and radius. Being from the north burbs we didnt know this shop, so all we could go by were the good reviews. Completely well-deserved! Based on the test drive and a close look at the interior Ed saw some red flags that he talked to us about before he put the car in the air, to save us the cost of inspection. Wed have gladly paid for the time he devoted but he wouldnt take anything for his expert opinion. If we end up buying around here we will not do so unless they look at it!
No questions asked, this is the best mechanic in the area. Ed is always there to answer questions and is extremely helpful. Finding a mechanic you can trust is crucial as they come with the misconception that they do work that is not necessary - this isnt the case with EAC. Completely trust everything they say and they treat you as a valued customer. My family comes here as well and I will continue to bring all 3 of my vehicles to Ed and his team. Great customer service and pricing as well. Look no further, call EAC!
Stopped at elmhurst auto care to have my ac reconnected without an appointment and they were so kind and took my car right away!! Very very professional,great quality, awesome value and I would say extremely timely! We appreciate their speedy service! And I will definitely be back again!!! 👌🏼
I highly recommend Elmhurst Auto Care to anyone who is having car problems of any sort. Ive taken my car to them twice and theyre always ready to assist and accommodate me. They are professional, efficient, cordial and most importantly honest.
I’ve been bringing my car and my wife’s car there for years now. Ed and Brad are the best. They go above and beyond to help in any way they can! Recommend them 1000%
Amazing customer service - highly recommend!
I emailed Elmhurst Auto Care on a Sunday and asked if they could safety check a vehicle before driving it 120 miles home the following Wednesday. Instead of waiting till Monday to respond, Ed replied to me right away, and graciously agreed to the date and time that was best for me. When I got there on Wednesday, he was prepared for my arrival, promptly assessed the road-worthiness of the vehicle, explained every concern thoroughly, and performed several small repairs that made the car safer to drive, and eliminated the risk of much larger repair bills down the road. I will never hesitate to buy another car in the Chicago area, knowing Elmhurst Auto Care is there to look out for me. Eds the man.
My favorite place for oil change and other services
Ed and his crew honest Don right
This is THE shop, whether I’m having car trouble or just need some standard maintenance. I come out to them from the city for the peace of mind they give me as a person(woman) who doesn’t know a lot about cars. They aren’t all gross like most places and they don’t try to push extras I don’t need. Honest small business run by respectful and professional guys. Highly recommend them to anyone.

Ed, Brad, and Jason Great guys to do business with. They treat your car like their own. Will return for any needed auto repairs.
Ed and crew are fantastic. The only thing better than their top notch skills and expertise is the outstanding customer service. I’d recommend them to everyone and anyone.
Not only did they fix what needed to be fixed,I think the little things like picking me up from home when car was done and surprising me by taking my car for the emissions,if you go somewhere else I think your crazy
This team not only takes great care of your car, they also take great care of you. You can ask questions and get clear explanations. I trust Ed and Brad to keep our familys cars running safely.
I purchased a used car for my 16 year old daughter. I brought it by Elmhurst Auto Care where Ed and his guys inspected the car and changed the oil. They were very thorough. I left Eds shop very confident that my daughters car is safe and should not cause her any issues this winter. We all rely on our vehicles to get us and our families safely around town. This is why a trusted, reputable firm like Elmhurst Auto Care is so important for any vehicle and any age driver. Ed is a stand-up guy that provides as much detail about your car as you desire and wont sell you more than you need. We all need A Car Guy, Ed is my Car Guy!
I take my both my cars to Elmhurst Auto Care. Ed and Brad are great to work with and treat me like family. They are always there to give honest advice about my auto maintenance needs. They are a true auto care resource for Elmhurst and Dupage County. If you are looking for a new mechanic you should really consider this auto repair shop.
This many 5 star reviews without any unhappy customers is extremely uncommon. Almost unnervingly so, however I am extremely happy I checked them out!I moved to Glendale Heights from Utica, NY and could not be happier to have found my new go-to repair shop. Excellently priced, fast, and thorough service is what I need and this garage has it!
Brad and Ed are amazing! I used to take my 2005 Accord to one of those national stores where they did the oil change and I was on my way, but then I discovered Elmhurst Auto Care. For my simple oil change I got so much more in the way of counsel and advise on how to care for my car. They shared ideas and suggestions that will prolong the life of my car and help me when I decide I have to sell. Thanks guys for caring for your clients and their cars the way you do. Bob
I took my car into Elmhurst Auto Care because I was hearing some noise from the transmission. Its a 2008 Nissan Altima with the CVT transmission...I just bought it used three months ago. Ed and his mechanics determined it needed to be rebuilt based on the grinding noises. Ed went above and beyond by calling a couple different Nissan dealerships as well as Nissan USA to see if the recall warranty for the trans problems could be extended for me...it expired about a year ago. There was no reason for Ed to do this as he wouldnt of made anything on it, but he called anyway. That shows me integrity. Unfortunately for me the dealerships and Nissan wouldnt do anything. Fortunately for me Ed took excellent care of me. Even offering me a free loaner car while my transmission was being rebuilt. Ed also explained in detail the main problem with the trans and well as a secondary problem. Ed even called/shopped a couple transmission shops (competition) to compare costs. Ed gave me the best price including a 24 mo/24,000 miles warranty on the rebuilt trans. I almost forgot to mention the communication, Ed kept me up to date with everything that was going on...he called me, I didnt have to call him. Hard to find that kind of service these days. I know I will be going back to Elmhurst Auto Care with all my other cars. Thanks to Ed and his Team.
EAC is fantastic! I have been bringing my high-mileage car there for the last 18 months for general maintenance, oil changes and repairs ever since they were able to properly diagnose and repair an issue that 3 other shops (including a dealership) couldn’t. Pricing is fair and transparent, service is exceptional and my car is usually ready the same day. Ed always gives me options and honest recommendations and won’t let me waste money on repairs he thinks are unnecessary. What a breath of fresh air! I have since referred friends and family and they’ve had nothing but praise for EAC too.
Great place to go. Take all my cars there and my 3 sons and the daughters car also. Trust them a lot. They know their business very well.I can always get an appt. right away. I emailed them on the weekend when they are closed and Ed got back to me the same day. What car place does that, this place does. Took my sons car there Monday afternoon with battery troubles and got a call Tuesday morning saying it needed a new battery, other one was bad again . They changed it under warranty and we were on our way. Nice job guys.
Great service and good customer service . i always take my service van in Nations roof
Amazing service. I pulled into this shop after finding it on Google, and Im glad I did. I thought I had over filled my transmission fluid, causing delayed engagement and my clutch to burn. I originally asked them to drain a quart, which they offered to do for free (unheard of). The technician alerted me that I was actually really low. Not having my wallet on me, I told him Id have to go home then to the store to purchase some. Knowing the damage this could further cause to my transmission, he topped me of with fluid free of charge, as well as topping off my power steering fluid. This simple action could have saved me thousands in repairs. Im forever grateful to elmhurst auto clinic and they have no doubt earned my future business. Thanks guys
Great service and excellent work done and they even saved me money! Ed and Brad are reliable mechanics that I have referred to several happy customers so far. Ive been treated with respect and was charged what I was quoted without having to worry about any additional charges to my bill. These guys are the real thing good, honest, high quality mechanic work at a fair price. What more could anyone ask.
I recently moved to the area and needed some work on my (old) car but wanted honest work, being a young girl that doesn’t know much about cars. I read great reviews and was given honest & friendly service. They told me exactly what was wrong and even took me under my car to explain how it worked/where certain parts were located. I was even given a ride home when something came up with my original ride, which was so beyond unexpected and sincere! Will definitely be a returning customer!
I wish I could give higher than a 5 star rating. The guys at Elmhurst Auto Care are FANTASTIC. They’re extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommended Elmhurst Auto Care for all your automotive service needs.
Ed and his crew are 👍 great quality mechanic
Great service! I brought the car in to check it over before a trip. They followed up with me. Gave me suggestions. Got the job done. Did not need to worry about a thing. Just like it should be. Great to work with.
Service at the counter was so nice. They were friendly and very accommodating. They worked on my car in very reasonable time.
Fantastic car shop! Went in for a sudden oil leak. Had gotten my oil changed a couple weeks prior and noticed a 3 drop leak. I assumed it had something to do with the oil change, but looked everywhere and saw nothing... Oddly, it was the oil plug which was not in place, and would have continued to leak and could have gotten jarred out and I would have needed a new engine! So frustrating, seriously, isn’t that the 1 thing you have to remember to do an oil change, yikes!! Anyhow, very frustrating, happy I brought it in! Ed found it and took pictures for me to show the incompetents!!! No charge. Problem solved!!! Ed develops a relationship with his clients, and doesn’t over charge!!
So glad I found this place! These guys are so professional, honest and actually care. I would highly recommend checking them out. You wont be disappointed.
Ed and Brad at Elmhurst Auto Care do a fantastic job. They take the time to explain whats wrong and what needs to be done. I have a high mileage car so its great to hear the difference between what needs to be done and what could be done should I choose the spend the money. Extremely trustworthy. I moved an live about 30 minutes away but still go to them for all my repair needs.
Took recently acquired vehicle for a scheduled oil change and general inspection. Brad was very informative if the inspection results and Ed provided a detailed quote of recommended future repairs.The oil change price was very competitive with the quick change lube shops.
I am an elderly woman with an old car. Elmhurst Auto Care treated me with fast and honest auto care. Other places would have seen me coming and charge me an arm and leg. They took good care of me and my car and they will be the one I go to for future service. Thank you.
They took great care of my car. Very honest in diagnosing issues. They wont try and fluff up your bill with unnecessary fixes.
Ed is extremely personable and I know he is always looking out for my best interests with my car repairs. He never recommends anything that is unnecessary and is always trying to help manage the cost of repairs or service. We really enjoy working with him.
Ed is a very good mechanic. He is very honest. I am very satisfied with his quality of work. I will be back.
Don’t go here! They will rip you off! Charged me $976 in parts for 2 wheel hubs that are at most $400 at the highest for any pair on line. Then, 7.5 hours to replace the front wheel bearings on an 06 ram? Place sucks and will try to rip you off. Don’t go hear. Very dishonest!
I found this establishment by searching on google for auto repair in my area. The reviews were fantastic! So, I decided to go there to get my brakes done. They went beyond my expectations and were so wonderful. Even tooked me back and forth to my house while it was being repaired. They even took my vehicle to have its emission test completed and it passed. I would recommend everyone to go there for quality work and friendly service.
This place is awesome! Especially Ed. He was professional and prompt. The prices are very reasonable. My car broke down about ten miles from the shop due to a part malfunction. Though it was nobodys fault, Elmhurst Auto Care paid to have my car towed back to the shop. Furthermore, they charged me nothing additional and had it fixed the next day. When I asked about buying an extra fuse in case of emergency, they just threw it in, on the house. While Ill pray itll be a while before my car needs any additional repairs, I would recommend this place any time.Check em out!
I recently took my Ford F150 over to Elmhurst Auto Care to diagnose a ticking noise in the engine. Ed and Brad were able to diagnose the problem and preform the needed repair in a timely manner. Both Ed and Brad were easy to do business with and I could tell they truly are expert mechanics. I will be returning to Elmhurst Auto Care for my future auto repair needs.
What I really want in an auto mechanic is someone I feel like I can trust. With Ed and Brad at Elmhurst Auto Care I have that. My car is getting older and for the first time since Ive had it I feel like ok, if something happens I have someone I can trust - what a great feeling! Thank you Ed and Brad !!
Top notch service at Elmhurst Auto Care! I had an issue with my battery so I took my car into the shop first thing in the morning. I work in the city and Ed offered to drive me to the Elmhurst train station and also pick me up at the end of the day. Rather than having to spend money on Uber rides, or potentially miss a day of work, my day was hardly interrupted.As for the repair itself, I was very concerned it was an issue with my alternator. Since I dont know much about cars, Ed could have suggested any repairs and I would have done them. However, he was very honest and concluded that it was just an old battery, which was a cheap fix.Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Elmhurst Auto Care. If nothing else, I KNOW you will get great, friendly service.
Need a trust worthy car repair service center... Cant say enough good about Ed & Brad... Finally a garage I have been able to trust to tell me what really needs to be fixed or replaced, and then there are those things that can wait to be fixed... Call Ed & Brad... Give them a try and see if you dont agree...
High quality and speedy work. Will definitely keep coming here. Brad and Ed provided great customer service as well.
For years, we have been loyal Firestone customers, however since Ed Czajkowski (sp?) took over at Elmhurst Auto Care, this is now our go to shop when we drive back into town. The team is extremely competent, thorough and most importantly honest. On two occasions, there was an opportunity where they could have charged us more and done more work than necessary. They took the time to isolate the issue and limit the repair costs and time to what was actually required.I strongly recommend Elmhurst Auto Care.
Great place! Service is quick and high-quality. Pricing is fair. Everyone is very friendly. Can’t ask for a better mechanic!!
Great service & always on time. Honest estimates. Will continue to go there. Thank you
I have had many great experiences with Ed and Brad at Elmhurst Auto as do all of the people I have referred to Elmhurst Auto Care...they are truly a rare and welcomed find. One incident prior to the discovery of Elmhurst Auto Care was an engine light on my Mercedes I went to what will remain as an unnamed repair shop and after the diagnostic test it was found to be a bad coil. They replaced the coil and I paid the bill and as I drove off the engine light reappeared. I went back to the shop and they did another diagnostic and said I would need an approximately $900.00 air pump. I asked if I drove the car would it damage it they said no. I met Ed from a business networking group that I belonged to and decided to call him. He said bring it in...his diagnostic I believe led to something in the air system and lo and behold the previous shop did not hook up the air hose when they replaced the coil. To make matters better Ed said there will be no charge for the service...savings $900.00 and I am a customer for life.
Elmhurst Auto Care is my single source for auto care. They are honest and are not overly priced. They are courteous and extremely helpful. I highly recommend them.
Had a Check engine light on they diagnosed it quickly at a very reasonable price! I will definitely be back in the future
Steve, owner of Elmhurst Auto Care, knows what he is doing when it comes to cars, he is honest, fair priced and accommodating to a specific request for appointments.I would not let another mechanic work on my car because Steve, Elmhurst Auto Care, is great mechanic, he has taken care of my last three automobiles - each with me for no less than 150,000 miles.Eileen Graziano
Very rarely do I write reviews, but the professionalism and work done at this shop can not be matched!
Elmhurst Auto Care is all and more of what customers wish for and need to experience when his/HER vehicle is in need of repair. It is a rarety to find accuracy in the diagnosis of a problem, prompt service, courtesy by all whom we are in contact, and fair pricing. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE AGAIN FOUND THIS TO BE MY EXPERIENCE WHEN TRUSTING MY CAR TO ELMHURST AUTO CARE FOR REPAIR, AND THEIR DETERMINING A DIFFICULT FAULT IN THE OPERATION OF MY CAR.THANK YOU FOR BEING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
These guys are great! No better feeling than going to a mechanic and not feeling like they totally took you. My dads in the car business but does body work and hes taught me a thing or two about mechanics and trying to upsell, not these guys, these guys are genuine, they care, and they did a great job on my car, Ive sent my grandpa, who says his car runs like new, my aunt who cant believe the fast service and thought they were wonderful people, and my cousins who has been keeping their van trucking and safe with their 3 kids and 4th on the way.Highlyyyyy recommend these guys, you wont be disappointed!
They offered a competitive price on my new set of tires and tracked down and fixed a noise in my suspension same day. Very professional service!
Amazing service, and among the very few mechanics who stand behind their work. Did a wonderful job on my car, with many complimentary work that left me speechless.
I have been going to Elmhurst Auto Care for over 20 yrs and have always received excellent service at fair prices. Everyone there is extremely friendly & polite.
Great place, took me in right away. Trust them and their work.
Must admit that I was a bit apprenhesive with the new owners but they all turned out to be good guys, their fast service and reasonable prices will keep me coming back for years to come...
Fast, honest and reliable service! I recommend to all my friends!
Excellent, friendly, honest, and affordable service! So happy that we found Elmhurst Auto Care.
These guys know there stuff and do it at a fair price quickly!! Will bring all my cars to Elmhurst Auto Care....
