I highly recommend Ek Automotive. The prices are reasonable and the service is exceptional. I even received a follow up call to make sure my vehicle was running smoothly after service was complete. I’ll definitely be back in the future.

We have been bringing our cars to Ek after visiting there for an art event. They have been fair in pricing, quick to finish the work, and honest about the work needed. They also follow up to ensure you are happy. I recommend them to everyone.

These guys are great. Honest and upfront, theyre a really solid establishment. I always feel comfortable dropping my car off with them; theyre great about talking through both work thats immediately needed and work that can be deferred for later. Its nice to know theres an honest shop nearby where I can take my car if anything happens to it. Keep up the great work!

Over the top! Great experience 😊 inspired waiting room, filled with art and eclectic atmosphere for customers to enjoy and feel comfortable in. Really helpful and accommodating staff that brought me a custom made coffee and Dave kept me informed every step of the way on when my car would be ready and any needed repairs as well. I will definitely return. Thank you

They work on all cars, I have a 1991 Toyota Corolla Classic and needed the alignment done to it and they were able to accommodate me day of! They gaurenntee there work also as it was presented to me the alignment has a One year warranty! About 2 weeks later I notice the car was moving to the right I called them and they told me to bring it in the next day and fixed it up for me!

EK has been our go to mechanic since moving to the area and they offer great service for a fair price. They’re like that family mechanic who helps you out and cuts you a great deal, but they do it for everyone who walks in the door. Awesome genuine crew that has made sure my girlfriend and my car are in tip top shape.

It is important that you feel you are dealing with honest people, especially when you dont have the knowledge. I completely trust EK Auto to do the work that is necessary and their pricing is comparable. I dont take my car anywhere else. Not to mention the service they give back to the community GREAT PEOPLE HERE.

Hands down the most trusting business I have ever brought a vehicle to. They understand what customer service is all about and are very appreciative that you are there. The work was done in a timely matter and was explained to me in detail beforehand so there were no surprises. I am happy I brought my vehicle to this place after a few friends suggested them. Keep it up Ek.

Bryan was extremely helpful and the staff was courteous and customer service oriented. Shop was incredibly clean, and looked more like a coffee shop or art studio than an automotive shop. I would highly recommend this business.

Review №25

I had a small coolant leak and there was an electrical problem with starting the car. They were able to get the car in right away and they diagnosed the issues and got back to me the next day. They had it repaired and out the door the next day! Excellent repairs and courteous service, my first time there and will definitely return again!

Review №26

These guys wanted to charge me over $1000 for a problem that was easily fixed by another place for $100. It was a simple welding job. On top of that, they charged me almost $200 for an oil change and diagnosis of what was wrong. I found EK online listed as one of the best mechanics in Chicago, but I will warn everyone I know against this place. Go down the road to Windy City Muffler and Brakes and save $$$.

Review №27

Just dropped in, after numerous recommendations from local friends regarding honesty and great customer service. They were not able to accommodate right away (due to lunch time) but they were able to look at it and fix my a/c the same day. It was recharged and even added a dye, just to make sure there wasnt a leak. Definitely will be going back for any other needed service.

I was flying out of O Hare and came back to a problem with any vehicle. They were great with recommending a tow service and providing great service on my vehicle despite me being from Milwaukee. A headache that could have been much worse but was salvaged by their great communication and service.

Review №30

These guys are the bomb dot com! They went above and beyond with outstanding service on my old Jeep. I would more recommend these guys to anyone. Im on a budget so they worked with me detailing stuff that needs to be fixed now and outlining some other things wrong with my car that I could hold off on for now. Extremely honest, hardworking and community oriented. Wish I could give 10 stars!

I found EK Automotive right in the neighborhood. They were extremely nice, courteous and professional. I had moved to the area over a year ago and this was the first time I needed my car serviced and I was reluctant (being a female) to try someplace new. Because they had such great reviews, I decided to give them a try. I took my car in and the weather was awful. They were kind enough to drive me home and then come and pick me up after my car was ready. Their prices were as estimated and I know they were very honest. I subsequently found out that my nephew used to work for them and knows them to be so. Highly recommend.

When I brought my 2002 Xterra in for some repairs, the guys were able to diagnose a secondary issue as well. the work done was OUTSTANDING and they really go that extra mile to make sure everything is done right the FIRST time. I have recommended EK to several of my friends that are looking to have work done on their vehicles.

Mike, Steve and the whole gang at EK always take very good care of my car, they are honest with their repair recommendations and their prices are very reasonable, especially since I have a foreign car. My brother, who also takes his car here, recommended them about 4 years ago and I have been going to them ever since. Highly recommend their service!!!!

Friendly service, honest. You are never told your car needs more repairs than it actually needs. My husband and I trust Steve and the mechanics at EK Auto. We have been going there for a few years now. Very thorough, good job. Fair prices.

I recently had a problem with my 2009 Subaru and wanted to try a local repair shop instead of dealer. I had seen a flyer from Ek Automotive and had also seen reviews on Angies List.My experience with Ek was great. I was easily able to schedule the service. They quickly diagnosed the issue and performed the repair (replacing the radiator and hoses) and took care of several other minor maintenance items. The cost was reasonable and the work done well and on time. Everything was explained to me and I was kept posted throughout the appointment.

When we drove our minivan to Chicago from Kansas two weeks back, the car showed battery indicator and all the door lights. Google search led us to EK Auto Repair shop. We left the van at the facility and took an Uber to visit the city. By evening, they fixed the van at a reasonable price. New alternator was installed. We drove to KS back without any further incidents and the van is still running fine - touch wood!!
