The best, in my estimation is Blaine's on 119th St, John is not only a great mechanic, but also one who reasonably prices his work.

Is there such a place? I have only found one place that fixes my Diesel truck right he first time, it is Kendall County Repair in Newark. They have always taken good care of all my vehicles ( and have driven me home on occasion ) look them up if you need your vehicle fixed right .

Auto Shop Naper/Plainfield on Spaulding School Drive. Have had less than stellar results from some of those previously mentioned. John at Auto Shop Naper/Plainfield is the guy to go to. Never tries to sell you on unnecessary work. Work done right and inexpensively. The shop isn't pretty, but he's the best.

Last Chance Auto on Naperville Rd, across from the High School is by far the best place to take your car in this town. I have taken my SUV and Pickup to other places in town (several on the voting list), and have continually been overcharged, misdiagnosed, and received poor customer service.

Ron, the owner at Last Chance, is a down-to-earth guy who runs a no-frills repair service and only charges for actual time worked on your car. Not "shop manual" hours. I wont take my cars anywhere else.

59 auto repair is definitly the best! They always repair my car in a timely fashion and at a good price. They will even give me a ride back to my house while the work is getting done. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else

Where is the write in? I would vote for Firestone up around 119th on Route 59. Darrel and Rodney are the best. They are always fair and are straight shooters about the problems.

Last Chance Auto is a great place. I've used them for awhile now. They are by far the best deal around.
